Chapter 32
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson
LAST TIME:
"Percy what is happening?" Thalia asked me as she walked into the hallway with everyone, but when she saw Hermes she got the picture.
"Your troop and Thalia is also requested to view the trial as well, they are important witnesses." He said as I sighed.
"What about Zoë?" I asked him as he looked surprised as he looked past me and found the daughter of Atlas standing by Thalia.
"I suggest you bring her as well, Artemis will protect her if Zeus tries anything for sure." He said as I nodded as he reached in his pocket and brought out a pair of handcuffs.
"Sorry but I have to." He said as I nodded as he cuffed me, Thalia looked angry and ready to punch someone but I shook my head as she calmed down a little.
"Promise me something." I said as Hermes looked at me.
"If he tries anything have the gods stick up for me this time." I said as he nodded as I smiled.
"We won't be having another incident like last time." He said.
"Thank you." I said as he flashed us all out to Olympus.
NOW:
We appeared on the streets of Olympus even if it was night here this great city never slept, as Hermes leaded me forward with my little group behind me everyone began to stare. They all had hushed whispers as Hermes walked me through Main Street. But even though most of the whispers were hushed I could hear them as they had as much malice as anyone yelling at me. I guess Zeus spread rumors of me on Olympus while I was gone.
"Sorry about this, again I am sorry." Hermes said as I simply nodded to him, it was simply his job and I knew that.
"Don't worry Hermes I don't hold anything against you for this, you are simply the messenger." I said as I heard something felt something being thrown at me. I simply dodged the ripe tomato as I turned to see a minor god with an angry face looking at me.
"You will pay for what you did to those innocent gods!" She yelled as more of them began to cheer and throw stuff at me as their angry yells became louder as I walked in my own silence. Rotting vegetables and meat hit me from every side even things like flour as Hermes gave me a silent plea.
"Innocent gods?" I asked Hermes as she cringed at my look, my eyes alone were enough to drag the information from him.
"Zeus knew of the women that Hercules raped but changed the story that you raped them instead, but they are too afraid to come forward since Zeus threatened them. He is trying to stir up the god's hatred for you, and he is succeeding in doing so." He said as I nodded as another much harder something hit my head as I hoped to the side from the source. It hurt a lot I had to say as I reached up to my head as I felt a trickle of blood flowing from a small cut the rock made.
But I didn't even get enough time to react as another one him me from the side. So this was Zeus's plan, have the crowd injure me and possibly kill me. But I knew if I fought back my fate would be sealed seeing as the minor gods carried around 50% of the vote in my trial with people they elected to represent them.
"Percy!" Thalia yelled as more rocks began to be thrown at me as I stayed silent, even though I could feel the surprisingly sharp rock cut me I still stayed silent. But it was so much as I had to kneel down to make myself a smaller target as I protected my head. But in doing so I raised my arms which gave a free shot to my rips that made me wince in pain as rocks round the area.
"Stop it!" Thalia screamed again as suddenly I felt someone wrap their body around my, quickly I looked up to see Thalia hugging me with her wings wrapped around me. But suddenly she let out a muffled cry as she bit her lip, they didn't stop throwing rocks for anything. Then a rock hit the back of her head as I saw some of her blood drizzle off her short hair and fall on my cheek as she gave me a painful smile.
At this site I got more than furious as I stood right up and protected Thalia with my body. But at the same time my cloak appeared on me that I wrapped around Thalia protecting her. At this I released a wave of my power that blew some minor gods that were close to me off their feet. The darkness alone around me began to swirl around my feet in a black vortex of the deepest shade of black. The Shades in the shadow screamed in anger from the shadow as you could see some freaky arms claw at the pavement from the shadows around me.
The sky darkened as well as thunder boomed around us that was much deeper than anything Zeus could make. I could feel my inner demon come out as well as my wings shot out of my back as they spread full length, their black feathers seemed to suck in the darkness as the red parts of them seemed to be the color of blood. As the shadow from the wings covered us it was strangely lit with the flickering light of the touches since no sunlight could breach the wall of clouds the storm had formed.
My eyes turned a deep color of purple that showed through the darkness of the hood. My eyes were the only visible part of my eyes as they gained their slits like my demon side had. The minor gods around me backed away in fear as they all began to scream and run away. Even Hermes looked truly frightened as I displayed my power, it was near that of an Olympian god maybe even equal on some terms.
"Percy calm down I am fine." I heard through my feral growl coming from my throat which I hadn't noticed I was making. Slowly my wings retreated into my back as I unwrapped Thalia from my cloak. As I did the storm above began to stop forming as no rain had come yet but if I got any angrier I be there would be. But as I let Thalia out of my arms she looked up at me with her vividly blue eyes that said more than words.
"I am sorry for losing my temper, but I will not tolerate Thalia getting injured." I said in a deathly calm to Hermes as I slightly bowed my head to him as I kept my still somehow handcuffed arms around Thalia. All he did was nod slowly as I let Thalia escape from my grasp as she just faced me and pushed my hood back. My eyes also returned to normal as I looked into hers.
"You didn't need to do that." She said as I raised my arm and brushed her bangs back as I saw the bleeding has stopped.
"Yes I did they hurt you." I said as we began walking again as the shadows still stuck close as I glared at any minor gods as they disappeared into different roads or homes. But the swirling vortex was gone as well as I left behind a trail of black mist that I bet brought back memories for Zoë.
"Still you didn't need to react like that." She said in a worried tone as I nodded slowly.
"I know but I need to prove a point, if anyone hurts you they have to mess with me when I am serious." I said as Thalia shivered a little.
"I don't think I have ever seen you fully serious at anything, other than last night." She whispered to me with a light elbow jab as I blushed lightly as I heard Hermes chuckle a little.
"Lost 500 drachmas." Hermes mumbled to himself as me and Thalia exchanged a quick glance, but I continued on.
"I mean fighting me seriously." I said to her as she slowly nodded.
"I think the only time you have ever fought seriously was when you faced Eros." Zoe said as I realized the group had caught up to me.
"Yeah I was." I said as we reached the door of the throne room as Hermes stood waiting for us as she crossed his arms.
"All of you but Percy, I think it is better for you to stay seated by Artemis or Hestia okay. That way if Zeus flips you are protected by his wrathful waves of power." He said with a worried voice as if he knew it was going to happen.
"I would suggest all the women sit by Artemis and men by Hestia." I added as Hermes nodded as if that was the best decision.
"Take care Thalia and be careful I don't want you jumping in front of any attacks anytime soon, or should I say ever." I said as she nodded as I kissed her head and gave Silent doom.
"Why are you giving me this?" She asked me as I smiled at her.
"For safe keeping." I said as I motioned for Hermes to open the door. When it opened I had at admit the council had seen better days. Ares looked like he hadn't slept in weeks as his eyes had heavy bags under them, Dad looked like a fish out of water as he sat slumped in his seat, Athena even looked like she was attacked by a owl from the looks of her hair, Mr. D was drinking whisky straight from the bottles, Aphrodite looked like she hadn't seen a makeup kit in weeks.
Demeter looked like she hadn't had a bowl of cereal in a month, Hades looked as gloomy as ever but his expression said otherwise, Hera was currently rubbing her temples as it trying to stop a migraine, Apollo looked like a dull lightbulb as his looks were diminished somehow, and Artemis looked like she hadn't slept in the past 5 years solid as she dozed off for a second only to snap back open.
Hephaestus looked food deprived and starved, Hermes as he sat in his seat seemed to age at least 20 years, Hestia actually looked decent but could use a day's sleep from her sleepy eyes, and finally the big man on his high horse looked like completely fine. It actually made me angry to see them all in such horrible conditions. But as they saw me their eyes seemed to gain some light in it, even Ares and Mr. D seemed to brighten even if it was only a little bit.
"I brought him here Zeus." Hermes said I stepped forward.
"Before the trial begins I request to have my friends and girlfriend had a seat." I said to him as he seemed to request this as if it was the last thing I was ever going to say to him. Instantly I heard a massive gasp as I turned to see Artemis fully awake as she rushed out of her seat and full on linebacker tackled Zoë. If the others began to just watch the scene unfold as Artemis cried in the shoulder of the demi titan.
"You were dead." Artemis said as tears streamed down her face.
"Yes she was, but I can't let someone that helped save Olympus stay dead not can I." I said as Artemis turned to me as I just kept glaring at Zeus as his eyes betrayed his face. They were vivid with anger as he glared at me as I could feel the electricity sparking in my hair as I glared right back.
"Hades explain." Zeus said as all the females went over to Artemis as she was wide awake now, she couldn't just stop talking as Zoë just laughed and cried with her. I was happy that Zoë didn't hate Artemis after what happened to me.
"All that I know is that she faded." He said in a voice that said he was not lying.
"She did fade but the fates owed me some favors, they brought her back from even the realm of the faded by my own request." I said as I gave hades a wink who knew the whole story since he helped return her body from the realm of the faded.
"So the fates are behind this." Zeus said as it he just hit a road block as he glared at me.
"You must rejoin the hunt Zoë." Artemis said as Zoë instantly nodded as Artemis smiled even more. I had to say those two shared more than just a hunter and mistress type of bond, they were like sisters from what I could tell. Even closer than Artemis and Apollo were, I was kind of happy they were back together.
"Milady I think you should wait until after the trial to discuss the recent events, Zoë and Thalia stay over by her will you." I said as Artemis looked at me and nodded as most were surprised she just listened to a male. But Thalia and Zoë took up seats right in front of her throne as Tiffany and Tammy joined her.
The 5 of them looked absolutely impressed though from their stares at the huge gods, they were mostly at a loss for words as they looked around the amazing room. But the perfect architecture didn't help dim the feelings you could feel rolling off the gods. So for now they shut up and just gazed around with wide eyes as Hestia happily welcomed the males over by her throne.
"The trial of Percy Jackson starts now." Zeus thundered as lighting went across the sky.
"I move that we drop this entire thing." Instantly said Artemis wanting to talk to Zoë and Thalia more.
"Motion denied, back to main topic at hand." Zeus said as she sighed as Zoë gently patted her large leg as if to make the motion to pat her back.
"Percy Jackson you are accused of killing Hercules and multiple counts of rape." He said with a grin as all the gods blink as if trying to rethink what they just heard.
"Father Percy would never do such a thing!" Yelled Thalia as Zeus's head snapped at her a she jolted back at the anger in his eyes as I saw sparks dancing in them.
"Silence Thalia." He said in a harsh tone that sent Thalia for a loop as she shakily sat down, never has Zeus talked to her like that and I knew it scarred her.
"What do you plead?" He asked me as I glared at him.
"Not guilty." I said as he grinned like this was going to be fun.
"Do you have any evidence supporting that you are not guilty?" He asked me as in truth I had no evidence to support my claim.
"I do not." I said as he seemed to laugh.
"But I wish to see the women you say I supposedly raped." I said his frown grew.
"They wish not to see you as they fear you will try again." He said.
"Only because you threatened them to say I raped them and if they said that I actually didn't you would kill them." I said as I could see the anger swell in the king of the gods.
"Do not test me boy." He said as I laughed.
"Test you Zeus? Please if I wanted to test you I would have already mad you fail already. I would have you dancing in the palm of my hand if I wanted to." I said as he growled as Athena spoke up.
"If there is no evidence supporting that you did or didn't rape these women then who believe that the charges for rape should be dropped?" She asked as all hands but Zeus's raised, even the minor gods in the room that Zeus just glared at.
"The vote is through, the charges are dropped for rape but the one for killing Hercules still stands." She said as Zeus began to steam.
"Fine the charges are dropped for rape." He said as Thalia exhaled like a weight was lifted off her chest.
"Now I will begin a telepathic communication to decide whether or not you have committed the crime or not." Poseidon said as all the gods close their eyes and the room went silent, but from the facial expressions I could there was heavy amount of yelling involved. Hestia even caught fire once but quickly put herself out, which was more surprising than anything.
"We have come to a compromise seeing as since this did involve a major god that all the council must agree upon it or it is not passed. So we have agreed to dismiss the charges as long as you fulfill the request the council has come to decide upon." Athena said as I nodded.
"I agree to this request as long as it does not involve me hurting any of my friends or family." I said as Athena agreed.
"The charges will be dismissed only if you kill all the gods of the other Worlders." Athena said as I was surprised. Sure I was assigned to kill as the other Worlders chain of command but not the gods, this was going to become more difficult by a lot.
"I agree." I said as Thalia smiled.
"You have 1 year to kill all 12 of them." Athena said as I nodded.
"Such a short amount of time to kill so many." Said Artemis in a low unheard tone.
"If you do not however complete this task in the amount of time given you will be sentence 1000 years in the flying pit. Also your group will be sentenced 100 years to the pit as well, but Thalia and Zoë will remain free of charges since they are under Artemis's protection." Athena said as I could breathe easy.
"Thank you." I said as my group knew that this would happen as we discussed it earlier.
"The trial of Percy Jackson is now come to a close." She finished as I sighed but suddenly I felt the sense of danger as I quickly shadow travel away from my location. Suddenly where I used to be exploded in a massive flash of light and electricity.
"Percy!" Thalia screamed but Zoë managed to hold her back as the smaller female had a tough time holding back the older and stronger female.
"Zeus!" Roared Poseidon as instantly he had his trident at Zeus's throat.
"Father I am fine." I said as everyone turned to Hades throne to see me sitting on the back of it as Hades was also at Zeus's throat.
"I was simply testing him." Zeus said calmly as Thalia looked like she just about had a heart attack as I jumped off Hades throne.
"No you weren't you were trying to kill him!" Scream Thalia as anger fueled her as she managed to get away from Zoë as she ran out to the middle.
"So what if I was that monster doesn't deserve to live." Zeus said shoving the sword and trident at his throat away as he stood up.
"That so called monster is the man I love!" She yelled at him as Zeus flinched as he looked down at her like she was disgusting.
"Thalia I am your father and I demand that you leave him." He hissed at her as I could feel things were going to get bad.
"I will not listen to you anymore after all what you have done for me, you even went as far to hide who my real mother was!" She yelled at him as Zeus stiffened.
"You weren't supposed to find out." He said as if his anger just left him.
"Well I did, I found out who my real mother is. Did it ever cross your mind that I you might want to tell me?" She asked him as he stood still as I saw his hands shaking a little as I walked over to her, the rest of the room completely silent.
"What is she talking about?" Asked Hades.
"Nothing that concern you Hades." Zeus snapped at him as Hades took offense to this.
"Not my concern? This whole family is my concern Zeus and if you haven't noticed you have been tearing it apart! Your arrogance and power hungry nature is tearing this council apart Zeus! Have you not take a look away from Percy and taken a look at your family! Look at how horrible they look, this is all because of you and your way of doing things! If I had to say so you aren't doing any better than father." He said in a cruel tone as Zeus lost it in that moment.
"I am nothing like father, I will rule how I want!" He screamed as he suddenly grabbed his bolt and in a flash of lighting I saw hades flying straight towards me as he slammed into me. I was lucky that he returned to normal human size as he slammed into me, with the force from the blast I slid back a good 30 feet until I stopped sliding as Thalia rushed over to me.
"Hades are you alright?" I asked him as he groggily stood up as he gripped at his cloak. There was a perfectly burnt hole in his clothes that lead to a circle of red skin that was right in the middle of his chest. All he did was look down at it then up as Zeus as I saw the shadows begin to gather around him as he shook his arm as it was numb I guess.
"You have bought yourself another enemy Zeus." He said as he gave me a look that said escape while you can. But as he did he disappeared into a black mist as everyone was too shocked to even speak.
"What have you done you fool?" Poseidon asked as Zeus pointed his master bolt at him as well.
"I have done nothing wrong, he questioned my rule and I got rid of him." He said with a angry voice as Poseidon glared at him as he turned away from Zeus and towards us as he began to walk away from his brother.
"You must run." He said as he walked past me without even stopping.
"You leave now brother and I will kill your two new children." Zeus said as Poseidon came to a halt as he slowly turned to the god of the sky. Without saying a word an Iris massage popped up showing two children about the age of at least 5 months that looked identical to one another. The women holding them smiled happily at them as they slept peacefully.
"You leave and they die." He said in a threatening tone as Poseidon just glared at him as he slowly returned to his seat. As he did I noticed Hades throne was now completely white and then suddenly disappeared. As he sat in his throne Poseidon just glared at Zeus with a look of pure hate and anger.
"Anyone else wish to leave?" Zeus asked as everyone stayed silent as they all looked stunned at what Zeus had just done. He basically was in control of the council without even using that spell he used last time.
"I will give you 1 year Percy Jackson, if you do not complete your task in that time I will personally kill you." He said as he took a seat in his throne as Thalia was in pure shock.
"Thalia I believe that your time with Percy has come to an end, go over to Artemis and go back to the hunt." Zeus said in a tone that left no room for complaint. Thalia just began to slowly cry as she turned to me as her eyes watered.
"Do I have to personally lead you to Artemis's throne? Or must I make Percy disappear so you will listen to me?" He asked as Thalia sobbed as she began to walk over in the direction of Artemis's throne. But suddenly she whipped around and kissed me as hard as she could, I didn't care if Zeus was watching as I kissed her back just as hard. The amount of emotion was more than one could imagine, I could feel the hate, love, pride, and all of her emotions being poured in the kiss.
Her lips tasted like strawberries and cinnamon as her scent of ozone filled my nostrils. Her soft lips were almost as smooth as silk as we kissed one another. The love was more than anything Aphrodite I knew could produce, I just didn't want to let her go if I did I didn't know what would happen to me. But soon the kiss ended as she gently pulled away and took a few steps backwards as we still held hands.
"I love you don't you forget." I said as I could feel my heart break as she nodded as she turned her head away from me as our hands gently slipped from one another. It was like we were on the side of a massive cliff and she just fell but I caught he one hand. To let it go felt like I was going to kill her but slowly our fingers slipped from one another as my heart shattered. All I could do was watch her back as she walked over to Artemis's throne.
Zoe didn't waste a second as Thalia was instantly wrapped up in a hug, Thalia didn't waste a second either as she slowly fell to her knees as she cried in Zoë's shoulder. Even Artemis looked at me with a painful look like this was not right. All I could do was watch as I gripped my hands in tight fists, I could feel the warm blood drip from my fingers as my nails dug into my palms.
"Since that is over Percy I think it is time for you to leave." He said as I stood still as I watched Thalia in so much pain. That I when I finally snapped I have had enough of what he called his rule.
"Zeus you have stepped over the line." I heard before I could lash out at Zeus as a very dominate power behind me that made me feel like a mouse in a cats eyes. Only one immortal I knew had this effect on me, her power made the air shimmer and the ground shake slightly she walked past me.
Her long flowing black hair and body that made any women jealous over, her perfectly tan skin and her dominating aura that made you just want to turn into nothing and die. But it was her galaxy eyes that took the show as they starred past you and your powers and saw your true self. This women was Chaos and from what I could tell from her aura was that she was not happy.
"W-What do you mean Chaos?" He asked scarred for his life as the strongest and most powerful being to ever live glared at him.
"Percy and Thalia were not meant to be separated today, fate has changed Zeus." She said as he stiffened.
"What do you mean fate has changed, fate cannot simply change." He said as she nodded.
"Indeed you are correct fate cannot be simply changed, but what you did just now drew a path that was far more dangerous and deadly for you and your fellow Olympians. By separating these two you drew a fate that had not been draw yet even by the fates themselves. By doing this you caused fate to rapidly and crudely make this fate. But in doing so this fate can be manipulated, think of it as a favor." She said as she motioned for Thalia to come over as she jolted up and sprinted right at me as she jumped into my arms as I held her.
Her tears making my shirt wet but more than enough to calm me as I hugged her as she cried in my shirt. At the same time the others beside Zoë came over to me as Chaos motioned for Zoë to stay by Artemis.
"That is the safest place for you right now, I would suggest you don't leave her side." Chaos said as Zoë nodded.
"But lady Chaos-." But Zeus was interrupted by her glared that made him shake in fear.
"Did I not just state that this must be done, otherwise you will lead this universe to its doom. I will not have some lowly Olympian such as yourself to ruin my masterpiece over such trivial issues." She hissed at him as I saw him begin to suffer under her harsh gaze.
"I warn you Olympian if you dare try to separate them again I will personally see you to the realm of the faded." She hissed at him as he quickly nodded.
"Now come children we must leave, I will see you later Olympians. Also Poseidon follow me as well." Said Chaos as Poseidon looked surprised as he nodded as he go up and walked over to Chaos as she gave her a bow.
"Please do not bow to me, I don't like it." She said as he nodded.
"Farewell Zeus." I said as I saw his anger return as we all flashed out.
LINEBREAK:
"I didn't know I was classified my issues as a trivial issue." I said to Chaos as we sat in my tent, she just snorted as she rolled her eyes.
"Trust me if I could make you a trivial issue I would have, but for some reason fate thinks otherwise." She said as I smiled I guess the fates like me after all. Thalia after the massive amount of crying and emotional trauma had gone to bed as she instantly feel asleep. Everyone else also went to bed in their own tents seeing as today had been a long day by any terms.
"Thank you for saving us." I said as she nodded and took a sip of my coca, as she did her eye lit up with delight.
"I must say this is quiet delicious, I never expected you to make such a fine drink. Also don't worry about it, what I said back in the throne room was actually real. If that man had separated you a very dark fate for this universe would have become the only path." She said as I was slightly stunned.
"Really...I wonder what I would have done to him." I said as she laughed a little.
"Do you really want to know?" She asked me as I shook my head.
"I will leave it to my imagination." I said as she shrugged.
"Suit yourself but I must say I have very quiet see a human like body so perfectly stripped for skin in a matter of a second." She said as I laughed.
"Though in doing so you would have nearly killed yourself you realize this yes?" She asked me as I nodded.
"Yes but it would have been worth it to save Thalia." I said as Chaos stayed silent for a little.
"You truly do love you don't you." She said as I nodded.
"More than any being in this universe, after all my demon side imprinted on her and we are soul mates by Greek terms." I said as she gave me a weak smile.
"I must go the fate and getting a little edgy with me missing for so long." She said as she set down an empty mug of hot coca
"The refreshment was satisfying you should make some the next time I visit." She said as I looked at her confused.
"Next time?" I asked her as she rolled her eyes.
"I have my ways Jackson don't you worry. Plus it is kind of cute seeing the man that used to fuck everting in sight trip head over heels for such a lovely girl." She said as I blushed.
"But I must go and thank you for the company, sometimes the other primordials aren't very fun to talk to. Plus the fates aren't really fun to play board games with, so I might pop up eventually so watch out." She said as I laughed.
"Okay I got it, also Chaos now that I look at my past and the things I have done. All I can say is thank you for hating me and doing what was right even if it made me mad or angry." I said as she smiled at me.
"I never really hated you Percy I was just frustrated about the things you did, if there is really one person I hate it is that son of Kronos." She said as I laughed.
"Well take care." I said as she nodded as she walked into a portal as she disappeared into the silence of the night.
"Good night my love." I said to Thalia as I kissed her head as I sat down in a chair as I looked at the still puffy red eyes of Thalia's as she slept peacefully. All I could do was sigh deeply as I felt a purr and a soft back of fur rub up against my hand.
"Good night to you to okay, help Thalia fight away those nightmares." I said to Bastet as she purred as I picked her up and set her by Thalia as the cat curled up in the spot I would normally sleep in. But after tonight I didn't really feel like sleeping at all.
"I wonder what happened to dad?" I asked myself as I thought of the water god.
Just as the thought crossed my mind suddenly a knock at the door sounded as I got up as I gave Thalia a kiss on the forehead. As I got up I walked over to the door and opened revealing a very happy figure and another gloomy looking one. Instantly I was wrapped up in a large huge as the gloomy Hades walked past me as Poseidon cried in my shoulder.
"I thought I was going to lose you again." He said as I gently patted his back as he sniffled a little.
"Poseidon remember what happened last time you cried? You flooded the throne room so hold back a little." Said Hades as he stood in the hallway.
"Okay." Poseidon said with a sniffle as he sat me down as I smiled at him.
"I am glad you are okay, were did you go anyways you weren't with us when we arrived in my tent." I said as he nodded.
"I will be temporarily staying in the Christian heaven down in Tartarus with Hades for a while." He said as I was surprised.
"I thought pantheon gods couldn't mix." I said as he nodded.
"They can't but Chaos managed to make an exception for me and your two sisters. Hades will be staying with the Christian death also so don't worry about him since Bianca is close." He said as Hades rolled his eyes.
"We don't have long Percy but I would like to thank you." Hades said as he put out his hand as I shook it which quickly turned into a one armed hug. Soon we broke apart as I nodded at him.
"Save your thanks this isn't over by a long shot, I sense Zeus is going to do something stupid soon. So go and hide for now I will call upon you if anything happens." I said as he nodded understanding this was more than just about the war right now. He just walked outside the still open door as Poseidon looked at me.
"Keep safe son." He said as he gave me another hug as the quick visit ended.
"I will and keep my sisters safe, talk to Julia if you need any help with them okay." I said as he nodded.
"I will now I must go or we will be caught." He said as he stepped outside the door as he put a hand on Hades shoulder as they both disappeared into a dark flash leaving me alone in the hallway. I just walked over and shut the door as I turned my back to it and leaned up against it as I slowly slid to the floor.
Quickly I felt myself falling asleep as I began to doze off as my eyes fluttered from closed to open. My consciousness waning as I lay propped up against the door. But suddenly I felt someone sit down beside me as I turned to see an already asleep Thalia sleeping with her head on my shoulder.
"Good night my little angel." I said as I doze off myself as I relished in Thalia's warmth.
ZEUS POV:
"THAT BITCH!" I screamed in anger as I threw a chair across the room as it shattered a window.
"I WILL KILL HER!" I screamed as I kicked the dining table made of marble across the room as it twirled in the air. With a loud crash it hit the ground and slid a few more feet as I roared in anger. It was all the fucking creators fault, I was so close but she just had to ruin it. I was so close to destroying Jackson emotionally so very close.
"Why must you defy me fate!" I screamed as I looked up at my white marble ceiling as thunder sounded in the sky as my anger was boiling over. But I got no response in return as I let loose another punch at a wall as it exploded from the impact. Sending bricks and other things across my living room as I heaved in frustration.
"It is all his fault!" I screamed as I grabbed my master bolt and began launching deadly bolts of lightning in the house. The lighting outside struck each time I set a new one off as large gaping holes began to fill my house. The upstairs wasn't liberated from the destruction either as giant holes that water poured through from my bathroom.
"I am nothing like father." I said as I slumped to the ground as the lights went out nothing but the flashes of lighting outside lit the room as the water began to pool around me. My whole plan ruined after I was so close to competing it, only to be ruined by Chaos. As my thoughts filled my mind I began to laugh but it didn't sound like my normal laugh. No this laugh sounded like that of a broken man that had nothing left.
After Chaos had left the council meeting Hera said that she was getting a divorce with me and none of the gods voted against the idea. At the same time even my own children began to say I was no father of theirs. Even Hestia the most forgiving of the gods shook her head and looked at me in disgust as they each left the meeting. So here I am a newly divorced man with no family that will claim me as his own. All because of one stupid boy that should have learned how to die centuries ago.
"You will pay Jackson you will pay." I said as I slowly stood up as I left my master bolt lying in the puddle on the floor. I just slowly walked to the end of my house as I approached a somehow untouched door as I opened it and began walking down the steps. As I did the water flooding the floor began to flow down the steps as I walked deeper into the room as I laid my eyes on my furnace.
