Hey guys, sorry if I'm not updating my other story, I'm kinda having a large block in my ideas for it. So, I'm writing another story with a GOD OF WAR game style story, I've always loved tragedy, but anyway, there is no romance and very little humor involved in this story.
Please do not hate me for not writing the other one, but I'll get back to it when I have an idea of where it should go. So sit back and read my new story.
"Where are the others?" Apollo said as he looked around the throne room as he entered. He had noticed that his uncles, his aunt Hestia and his sister weren't there in attendance while the rest of the Gods were lounging in their thrones, save for Zeus and Athena who looked very nervous. He was about to comment on it when he was interrupted by Athena.
"Oh good, he's here." Athena said nervously. "Now we can begin our meeting."
"But you stil-" Apollo began to say before being interrupted again.
"Both of our uncles are in their respective domains, Hestia's tending the flame at camp half-blood while your sister's off with the hunt. Now without further ado, I'd like to get on with the reason as to why we all are here." Athena rushed out looking at everyone, motioning for her father, who clapped his hands which solidified the air around them.
"Wait! Why are you placing the wards around the room? Don't the others have to get in?" Apollo asked still thinking about what the evening was going to be about by going over the events of the last few days. He had a guess in mind.
"You idiot! The wards are placed because we don't want the others to come in unexpected." Athena said, more calmly now.
"But why? I'm sure the others must be wondering as well?" Apollo said looking at everyone else in the throne room; Aphrodite, checking on her make-up while Demeter on the side of her muttering to herself about the shortage of cereal around the world. Ares sitting to the right of Hephaestus clearly etched on their faces the telepathic argument they were having, possibly about a goddess of love. Dionysus and Hermes sitting to the far right plainly bored out of their minds gazing up at the stars. Athena sitting to left of Zeus with a throne in between seating Hera, all supporting tense, yet serious faces.
"Leave her alone, bro." Hermes said still not looking away from the stars, "When, in the past millennium, has Athena ever explained any of her plans in detail? She hasn't told anyone what this emergency meeting's for, except to dad of course."
"Humph, now before this turns to a mindless argument, I'd like you all to pay attention to what father's about to say." Athena said, her calm voice quickening in pace.
"Well, I'd like to say that I called you for a reunion, but then I would be lying," Zeus said in an obvious attempt to add in humor which was a warning signal to all those present save Athena, for Zeus never used humor, unless the situation was a tense one. The last time he used humor was around the time of the first Titan war. Having got their attention Zeus continued with his speech.
"Today's meeting is about a certain savior of Olympus and son of my brother." Zeus continued quickly as if fearing that someone would attack, namely his brother Poseidon, whom he feared would appear in the room at a moment's notice.
"And, what about him?" Hephaestus asked, having come to a stalemate in his argument with Ares. Apollo on the other hand paled at what he had heard for he suddenly remembered as to why the meeting was about Percy Jackson. His fist clenched itself as his eyes bulged, knowing very well where this was going.
"Well, a week ago, Athena and I found something interesting and possibly shocking about Percy Jackson's future." Zeus said after which everyone turned to the God of prophecies. "Apollo, would you please explain to the others what your prophecy said?"
"But father, I'm not really sure about it myself. Do you really think th-" Apollo said looking down at his feet in doubt.
"Speak now boy!" Zeus said hurriedly, furious at the amount of time the meeting was taking, "Before the others return."
"Fine! I guess many of you already know of my new oracle, Rachel Dare." Apollo said to the Olympians who were nodding their heads in acknowledgement, while Zeus was waving his hand for Apollo to continue, "I was visiting her a week or so ago when she spewed out another one of her prophecies which in summary, because I was only able to get the last line, was about Percy becoming more powerful than any other demi-god in history."
At first, everyone just stayed silent as they were shocked at the news, but then a voice from the right brought back everyone's attention, "But surely we've already known this, the boy is surely powerful. He defeated the Titans and the Giants for crying out loud!" Hermes said defensively.
"That's what I said when I told the dynamic duo over there," Apollo said gesturing towards Zeus and Athena, "But they seem to have found another meaning in that little line." This statement made the rest of the Olympians turn towards the pair who looked grave at the news which was to be presented.
"We think that Percy may get too powerful, for even us Olympians to handle," Athena said hesitantly, "And with the support of his father, he may choose to overthrown the lot of us."
"But that's outrageous, the boy may surely be powerful, but he has a loyal heart. He would never strive for power, not even with his father by his side." Hermes argued back.
"I have to agree with him on this, Athena. Percy has never shown any ill will towards us Olympians, no matter how much we have opted for his demise during his teen hood." Hephaestus spoke up from his seat. "Sure he's got a bit of lip on him, but that's what all sea spawns have."
"Whatever your opinions, I'd like it if you all would swear on the river Styx that none of you will tell anyone else of what is going to be said henceforth." Zeus said frustrated that it was taking so long to finish this meeting. Everyone swore on the Styx, Apollo and Hermes rather reluctant, after which Zeus began his speech.
"Athena and I have only called this meeting to brainstorm on how we are going to deal with this threat." Zeus said ignoring Hermes who was muttering that Percy wasn't a threat to anyone.
"Why don't we just kill him?" Ares said, blood-lust evident in his eyes as he took out his sword, "Heck, I'll do it right now."
"You idiot!" Athena said as she stared at Ares incredulously, "Did it ever occur to you that I might have thought of that possibility? We cannot kill him directly for Poseidon would attack us for our deeds." The other Olympians shuddered at this for they knew how dangerous a wrathful Poseidon could be and continued to think, ignoring Ares's cry of disdain at his unfortunate attempt to avenge his loss to Percy.
"That's part of the reason as to why the others aren't here." Zeus said hoping to clear out any doubts so as to not hinder their progress, "Poseidon, for obvious reasons. Hades, for his appreciation towards the boy which would make him join my brother's side. And Hestia, whose motherly feelings towards the boy might make her tell him the plan."
"But what about Artemis?" Apollo asked breaking his train of thought on as to how he could save Percy's fate.
"She'd be hard to convince, her being goddess of justice and all, but I'll convince her to join our side." Athena said going back to her thinking phase.
Everyone tried to think of an idea on how to get rid of Percy, save Apollo and Hermes who were trying to think quite the opposite. Everyone broke out of their stupor for Dionysus has screamed, "Eureka!"
"Eureka?" Hermes asked while a few Gods chuckled.
"That's what I say when I've got a plan." Dionysus said glaring at those who had laughed, "Anyway, why don't we make Peter commit suicide? I'm sure that I could cause him to go insane enough for him to do so. I'm sure it'll make my life a bit more entertaining." Everyone began to contemplate the idea until Athena spoke up.
"A good plan but it would never work," Athena said holding her hand up to stop Dionysus from protesting, "Without a reason for his suicide I'm sure that Poseidon would guess that it was due to an involvement of an immortal, which in turn could lead to chaos." Everyone nodded their heads in agreement and thought of more ideas.
"How about we make him a god?" Apollo asked, now holding his hand up to stop Zeus from protesting, "Just hear me out on this, with him as a god, we'll be able to keep an eye on him and his powers, as well as assign him a domain far from his father." Apollo had hoped that this idea would be accepted, as it would mean no mental or physical harm towards Percy, but to no avail for Athena dejected it immediately.
"He would decline the offer, his love for my daughter and loyalty to his friends…." Athena began to say before stopping abruptly, her mouth forming an 'o'.
"Hello Athena, you there?" Apollo asked snapping his fingers in front of her face bringing back her attention.
"That's it!" She said out loud, "Why hadn't I seen it sooner? It's so simple." She brought out a piece of paper and began to write furiously on it, muttering to herself, till she stopped, looked up, and smiled evilly at everyone.
"I've done it. I've constructed the perfect plan for Percy's demise. First, we'll have to make him occupied for a few days, so that Aphrodite here could make my daughter fall in love with someone else. Then-" Athena was about to continue with her monologue until Aphrodite screamed out in defiance.
"I won't do it! Do you know how long it took me to make them fall in love? Years I tell you. They're perfect for each other, too loyal to cheat with any other. I will not break up true love." Aphrodite said crossing her arms in front of her.
Athena stared at her fellow Olympian,"You'd enjoy it. The thrill of the break up. The surge of emotions. You'd enjoy being the puppet-master."
"Not with them!" Aphrodite yelled, "She's your goddamned daughter!"
"Aphrodite!" Zeus yelled sternly as his eyes bore into hers.
"Fine, I'll do it. But don't expect me to be happy about it." Aphrodite said with a grim look on her face.
"I don't expect you to." Athena said heartlessly as the daughter comment flew over her head, "Now, once he returns from whatever would keep him busy and finds out that Annabeth had cheated on him, he would surely accept our proposal or commit suicide over the heartbreak. Either way we win."
"Thank you everyone for helping us. Athena will surely clear out the kinks in a few days so I suggest you all go back to how you were. But remember, all of you promised not to reveal our plan to anyone else, so I hope you hold on to it or else suffer the consequences." Zeus told to the audience before teleporting himself away. Everyone followed suit until Hermes, Apollo and Athena were left.
"What the hell, Athena?" Hermes curse as he jumped of his throne and stormed towards the wisdom goddess. "The kid's always got our back these last few years, and you want to stab his?! Where's your sense of debt?"
"He's just a threat that needs elimination." Athena said with a poker face.
"That's a load of bull, everyone knows you despise his relationship with your daughter, so you're using this as an excuse to hurt him." Apollo said, his eyes turning as orange as the sun from anger.
"Whatever it may be, we still have to stop him before he gains more power. And besides, you can't do anything to stop me as you've taken the oath as well, so I bid you good day for I have to prepare." With that she left the two Gods staring at her empty throne.
"Bro, you know it. I know it." Hermes said sadly, "When he finds out, we're all going to pay, aren't we?"
"I agree with you on that, but who are we to stop Athena and Zeus for going forward with their plan." Apollo said grim-faced. "All we can hope is that Percy is stronger than we give him credit for." With that they both disappeared, both thinking about the boy who was sleeping in his bed unaware that his life was going to change once more.
Look, I'm really sorry about my other story but I really cannot think of an idea for the death of me, so I beg for your forgiveness.
Anyway, while conducting some research I noticed a few things, in the site camp halfblood , Aphrodite looks so innocent, Athena- retarded, Hera and Gaea kinda hot and Hade as AWESOME. So I hope you read this story because it isn't going to have any romance nor is Percy going to go back to his loyal self at the end of it.
Cya and perhaps you'll read this story before you kill me.
