Chapter 4
Throne Room, Olympus
Third Person POV
Flashback
Percy Jackson has not been seen for three days. On the third day, Clarisse and the twins stormed into Cabin three right before dinner, only to find a note placed on his bed.
The three of them ran to the dining pavilion and said the Percy was gone. Of course, nobody cared. That one goddess sitting by the hearth thought that enough was enough. No single hero has ever respected her like that before. Everybody just walked past her and ignored her.
She snapped her fingers and instantly, all the Olympians, Hades, minor gods, nature spirits, demigods from both camps and basically everyone you can think of into the throne room.
" Hestia, why have you summoned us?" Zeus asked annoyed.
Hestia was suddenly engulfed in her own flames. " Do not speak like this, brother. I've come to tell you all the truth. Everyone's eyes widened. It's not everyday you see the goddess of peace become so angry.
With a flick of her hand, she created a rainbow and tossed a drachma into it. Calming down a little, she said, " Oh, Lady Iris, goddess of rainbows, please show us Percy Jackson's life, from the day he was born.
The screen showed Percy when he was born, in the arms of his mother, Sally Jackson. Then it continued, from Percy's struggles in school to getting beat up by Smelly Gabe.
Then when he first came to camp, and all his adventures, from finding Zeus's bolt, defeating Ares, finding the golden fleece, holding up the sky, seeing the huntress dying, walking through the labyrinth and fighting Kronos. By then, everybody was crying all except Annabeth and Mike.
It showed how he lost his memory, making his way into Alaska, and falling into Tartarus. It showed his last days at camp, and how he was betrayed by his own girlfriend. Everybody's face was shell-shocked. How could they betray the true hero of Olympus?
With tears streaming down her face, Hestia shouted, " You see, all of you have betrayed him, except Clarisse, Travis and Conner. You should be ashamed of yourselves. And you Poseidon, disowning him! What were you thinking? He is gone now, and all he left us was a letter!"
She opened the letter and read,
" To anybody who still cares,
I never stole anybody's things, so please do not blame me for them. I guess you are right. I am a failure. I let anybody who cares about me die. So I will leave, I will leave you all alone. To Clarisse, thanks for always being my friend, I know you look tough on the outside, but you are really a softie on the inside. Keep on having the initiate move, just be careful of children of Poseidon. To Travis and Conner, thanks for being my pranking buddies, remember to KEEP PRANKING and keep it alive. And to Hestia, thanks for always comforting me when I feel down. I know people don't really appreciate you because you don't have a throne, but I feel that you are the most important out of all your siblings and yada yada. You are the last Olympian, the one who keeps peace, so thank you for being that small flame that showed me I'm not alone. Thank you, all four of you.
-Percy Jackson, former son of Poseidon, and a failure."
If possible, they cried more. Cried and cried for the lost hero. And well, of course, Annabeth and Mike just rolled their eyes.
At last, Zeus stood up from his throne and said, " Everybody, listen up. Hunters, search the parks and forests. Apollo, keep a lookout when you drive with your sun chariot. Campers help them. We must find Percy Jackson!"
