Meeting

Here's the next chapter guys, It took me a little while to get it done because some days I was busy with other things, and others I was just being lazy and did other things such as binge-watching youtube videos instead.

Percy's Point of view

After my dad called the other gods to a meeting I could hear Zeus asking him why he'd called it. Dad explained that I'd reached out to him and that I had Vital information that they all needed to know. I was surprised when he didn't tell them what had happened to me before they called me in, I'd kind of hoped that he'd sort that out before I was actually in the room, it would have been a little safer for me that way.

My luck wasn't that good though so I went in when they all agreed to hear what I had to say but I figured that at least a few of them might change their minds once they realize what I am. I knew that at least three of them already knew, maybe four but that wouldn't be enough to ensure my safety. I figured that like my dad had Artemis would probably have to decide if she could still trust me and once Zeus and the others found out they wouldn't be too keen on trusting me.

Regardless I entered the throne room when they told me to despite how nervous I was. I'd barely stepped through the doors when the gods who hadn't already known what had happened to me realized what I am. Athena and Zeus were the first ones to speak after they realized this and they obviously weren't too keen on trusting me now that they knew, heck they aren't all that fond of me at the best of times now I could see that they no longer trusted me at all.

"He's a werewolf!" Athena practically yelled stating the obvious.

"Why did you bring him here!" Zeus thundered clearly not happy. But then again when is he ever happy?

My dad replied, "Are you Deaf Brother? I already told you that I brought him here because he told me there is going to be another war, and he wanted to tell us everything that he knows about it. Despite what has happened, I trust him not just because he is my son but also because I am certain he has not and will not betray us,"

Zeus was about to say something else, most likely try to argue but before he could say a word Hestia spoke up. She practically yelled, "Don't be a fool little brother, Perseus's fatal flaw is loyalty, he may have changed but his loyalty remains intact. He won't betray us and if he says there is going to be a new war then I believe him, let him speak!"

I was surprised, to say the least, Hestia is usually a peaceful goddess so when she practically yelled at Zeus in order to defend me it surprised basically everyone. I could see that he was far from happy about it but Zeus quit arguing. Although some of them still looked suspicious of me the gods let me speak. I said, "The other night I had a dream and it was from that dream that I found out everything I know about the war.

Our latest enemy is Erebus, he is gathering together an army of monsters with which he intends to overthrow you all. I know that Lycaon is working for him and that Lycaon turned me because they hoped to turn me to their side. That plan obviously failed since although I am now a werewolf I have refused to serve Lycaon and have managed to avoid him ever since he had one of his wolves turn me.

I also learned that since their plan backfired Erebus gave Lycaon one last chance and his orders were to either turn me to their side or kill me. I don't intend to let him do either. In fact, my plan was to kill Lycaon the next time I encounter him. I know that would require me to take his place as king of werewolves and while I would rather not have to lead I don't see any other options.

If I succeed at Killing Lycaon I would remain loyal to you, and hopefully, the rest of the werewolves would follow me,"

I explained how I had come up with that idea before I was even aware that there was going to be another war. I was just getting tired of having to run for it every time another werewolf came near me. If I succeed though and the werewolves follow me that would mean that the werewolves would no longer be on Erebus's side in this war since they would be on ours if I was lucky.

I told them that I would inform Camp Half-Blood after the meeting ended. While most of them seemed fine with that Zeus, Ares, Mr. D. and Athena still seemed kind of suspicious of me. Sure enough, Zeus growled, "Swear on the river Styx that what you have told us is true,"

I was slightly frustrated but not entirely surprised by Zeus refusing to trust me.

Apollo spoke up before I could do what Zeus asked. He blurted, "Father, he's telling the truth I'm sure of it,"

Due to Apollo being the god of truth Zeus basically had to believe him, sure Apollo could have lied but Hermes and perhaps some of the others would have probably noticed if he did. That certainly helped me out so the suspicious gods reluctantly agreed, deciding to give me a chance. It was a bit of a relief when I found out That I wouldn't have to travel halfway across the country so I could warn Camp Jupiter about the new threat.

Zeus sent Hermes to tell Camp Jupiter So I guess I would stay at Camp Half-Blood for a little while to help them prepare. I wasn't sure how I would handle it when Annabeth was still there, but I would have to try not to let her bother me and move on. I knew that if Lycaon and his wolves track me all the way to the border of Camp Half-Blood I would make sure that Lycaon at least wouldn't live to see another day.

I didn't mean to seem cocky I just felt that I was finally prepared to take him on so the sooner he is taken care of the sooner we will have one less enemy. Zeus ended the meeting there after I'd finished explaining but a few of the gods who had decided to trust me for now had stayed behind, and I soon found out that they wanted to speak to me.

One of the gods who had stayed behind was Artemis, that surprised me a little since she wasn't particularly fond of men, much less, werewolves. Despite that, I should have guessed what she was going to ask me considering what had happened the last time I had seen her. She got out of her throne and shrunk to human size before walking over to me.

Somewhat to my surprise, she was in an older form and I had to admit that she looked beautiful. One thing I liked about her was that unlike Aphrodite she doesn't put on layers and layers of makeup. I guessed that she probably considered it unnecessary and probably didn't like it. In my personal opinion, she didn't need it since her natural beauty was enough. Not to mention that she spends a lot of time hunting so makeup is definitely unnecessary.

I quickly realized the direction my thoughts had gone and mentally scolded myself, she was a maiden goddess for Hades' sake. I couldn't fall for her because she would never return those feelings, she hates men, sure she respected me but that's as far as it goes. Even if I tried to compliment her on her appearance she'd probably take it the wrong way and I'd probably end up missing some rather important body parts.

Either that or I'd end up as a small furry animal and I didn't want to spend any more time as a small furry animal. I'd gotten used to being a werewolf but now small animals are what the wolf side of me considers prey so that along with the fact that I had once been turned into a guinea pig made the idea of that rather unappealing. I faced Artemis sure she had no idea what direction my thoughts had just gone.

I bowed to her before she spoke, she said, "Perseus, was it you who saved Thalia a few weeks ago when we were facing Lycaon and his wolves?"

I nodded and explained how I had been nearby when I noticed their situation and felt I should help. She nodded and replied, "Since your father had already told me about what had happened to you and asked for my help to find you we guessed as much. It was the only logical explanation for why a werewolf would save Thalia's life,"

I nodded and replied, "At the time I didn't know you were aware of what had happened to me so I thought you would just assume that I was just another werewolf. I knew it was risky for me to step in and help you since I was trying to avoid Lycaon as well as you, but when I saw that Thalia was in trouble I had to help her,"

Artemis said, "She is rather annoyed with you for not contacting her you know,"

I sighed not all that surprised by that news, I replied, "Up until recently I was unaware that she knew what had happened to me so I was worried how she'd react when I told her. I'll Iris message her later today,"

Artemis just nodded, we didn't say much else before she left probably returning to the hunters. A couple of the other gods spoke to me before they also left and I took the elevator down to the first floor of the empire state building. As soon as I stepped outside of the building I was assaulted by the many sounds, sights, and smells of New York. I say assaulted because it was much louder and smelled much worse than it used to when I was a demigod.

I had noticed the difference when I had been there visiting my mom and Paul but since it had been a little while since I had been in a city I wasn't used to hearing the loud noises and smelling the rather strong scents that I smelled as soon as I stepped outside. It was rather hard to get used to so I decided to keep moving.

Since Dad had taken me to Olympus I wasn't sure if Lycaon would be able to track me all the way here. Any trail I might have left would have stopped in the clearing where dad and I had left from, I doubted he could track me unless he had some other way of tracking me that was better than the usual methods. Whether he managed to track me here or not I felt that I would be ready to face him the next time I saw him since I had managed to discover quite a few new abilities that I hadn't had before.

I continued on not really knowing what to expect just knowing that I would have to go to Camp Half-Blood to warn them and help them prepare for what was coming. If Lycaon shows up at the camp borders I would deal with him and hopefully, we would gain more allies and would be able to work with them to prepare without fighting amongst ourselves.

I eventually left the noise of the city behind and soon found myself on Long Island, when I eventually arrived at the bottom of Half-Blood Hill I hesitated, after all I was still a little bit nervous about returning to camp and seeing Annabeth again, as far as I knew they were still clueless about what had happened to me so I figured it would be best if I entered camp in my human form and without my appearance changed.

After all, if I tried to enter camp as a werewolf they wouldn't realize who I was and they still wouldn't know if I went in with my appearance changed either. I needed them to trust me and the best way to get them to do that would be to go in as close to my old self as I could. Getting them to trust me might not even be my first problem since the barrier might not even let me through.

I was a werewolf now after all and the majority of them are monsters, or their king is at least. Only time would reveal the truth about that, but I had the feeling I would find out soon enough. Before long, I found the courage to walk up the hill toward Peleus, Thalia's tree, the Athena Parthenos, and the camp that I had considered a second home for a few years now but I was no longer sure if I still considered it one.
