"Nothing is going right!" cried Hades.
"'A hero of the Sun'?" asked Artemis.
"The Sun can't have kids!" cried Apollo. "It's a van!"
"Quiet down. The prophecy will reveal itself in time" said Zeus, the only Olympian who stayed in his throne when an Oracle had told a new prophecy.
"Maybe it means one of your kids Apollo" said Hera.
"Tell us the prophecy again Oracle" said Zeus, commanding the mummy.
"A hero of the Sun
Shall never have fun.
The Lord of Time
Is raising by dimes.
Call the son of the Sun
The boy of the Sun."
"I AM NOT THE SUN!" cried Apollo.
"You are the god of the Sun" said Artemis.
"Arty's got a point" said Aphrodite.
"Call upon your kids, Apollo" said Zeus.
"They won't know" said Apollo.
"Besides Camp Half-Blood is coming for their annual field trip to the Council of the Winter Solaces!" said Poseidon riding in on a black stallion.
"Uh! Go back to your stables with that foul beast!" cried Aphrodite shooing the Sea God.
"You'll seem to like them when they save your life" said Poseidon riding out.
"Return to your thrones! We have matters to discus!" cried Zeus slamming his lighting bolt to the floor shaking all of Mount Olympus. "We all know we are in America, the strongest nation in the world. War is raging against Iraq that should have ended when we caught…whatever his name is!...but still, Ares is causing a war that shouldn't be happening…" said Zeus. Ares jumps up.
"America can stop whenever…" started Ares.
"You want them to" said Zeus.
"Y-yeah!" cried Ares.
"So stop it" said Zeus.
"That's like telling Poseidon to stop creating horses!" said Ares.
"Sit down. The demigods are coming" said Zeus commanding Ares. "Poseidon!"
The Sea God walked in to take his throne. One hundred fifty-three demigods walked in and looked around, amazed.
"Zeus!"
"Poseidon!"
"Hades!"
"Aphrodite!"
"Ares!"
"Apollo!"
"Dioynos!"
"Athena!"
"Hephutus!"
"Dementor!"
"Heremes!"
"I always hate it when I'm the only one who's not ran to"
The demigods ran to their Olympian parent and hugged their legs (as high as they can reach.)
Artemis just sat in the back as the other gods had reunions with their kids. As the Maiden Goddess, she was not allowed to have children.
"What's going on, daddy?" asked a seven year old hugging Zeus. A ten year old cried in the corner since he didn't know who his Olympian parent was. Zeus raised his hand and a lighting bolt appeared over the boy.
"SON OF ZEUS!" cried the entire mountain. The boy ran to Zeus, his newly claimed father.
"Well, Jack, we are discussing why Ares should stop the American-Iraqin War" said Zeus to the seven year old. Aphrodite taught her kids how to be more beautiful with the make-up of the gods, Olympi-up.
"I am the God of War! I want to see war!" cried Ares. Zeus eyes him.
"Now, let me tell you the new prophecy!" said Zeus. "Oracle!"
"A hero of the Sun
Shall never have fun.
The Lord of Time
Is raising by dimes.
Call the son of the Sun
The boy of the Sun."
"That means one of us!" cried one of the Apollo kids.
"Well, 'the Lord of Time' means one of you has to slay Kronos" said Artemis.
"It's him!" cried all the Apollo kids pointing to someone that's not themselves.
"Let's not worry about that now. Kronos isn't coming back today!" said Zeus.
"I want more followers" said a rasp voice.
"M-master! I can't hypnotize them into joining!" said a second voice.
"A new prophecy has been told. I can feel it" said the first, horrific voice.
"So, that's all you have to do on the Council? Discus war?" asked an Aphrodite kids.
"Not always. We discus problems, and other stuff" said Zeus looking worried.
"Lame. Let's get out of here" said an Ares kid.
"Now, now kids. Don't you want to hear what the gods have to say?" asked the Centaur named Chiron.
"Yeah, I guess" said a Poseidon kid.
"Who wants to come to the Stables of the Gods!" cried Poseidon. All of his kids raise their hands. They take off with their father.
"Now that we only have eleven here…" started Zeus.
"Can I show my kids my make-up room?" asked Aphrodite.
"Fine" said Zeus.
"Can I show my kids the Underworld?"
"Can I teach my kids how to fight?"
"OKAY! NO MORE LEAVES!" cried Zeus shaking the Empire State Building below them. The demigods start to fall off the side but Artemis hops on her Pegasus and grabbed them.
"Hero again!" cried Chiron. Artemis blushes and takes her throne again.
"When shall you leave?" asked Zeus.
"Anytime you want my lord" said Chiron.
"After the feast" said Zeus. The Olympians and the demigods gathered around a huge table for the Winter Feast. The demigods dedicated their meal to their Olympian parent. Hundreds of minor gods flooded in.
"We shall be leaving" said Chiron standing up.
The demigods say farewell to their Olympian parent and leave Mount Olympus for another year.
"My lord, they are leaving Mount Olympus."
"Very good. Now we start recruiting" said Kronos from the darkness.
"HELP!" cried a demigod voice. Ares charged down to help the demigods. A huge scorpion sat ready to kill. Chiron had his bow ready but Ares still charged.
"FIGHT!" cried Ares. The demigods grabbed their weapons and charged.
"I call upon the Hunt!" cried Artemis. Several hundred girls came from the trees with notched arrows. "FIRE!"
The arrows bounced right off the scorpion's skin. The scorpion gave a harsh screech as it scooped up a son of Apollo.
"NO!" cried Apollo placing an arrow in his bow. He fires at the mouth of the monster and it directed its attention to Apollo.
"GGRRAAHH!" cried the monster charging to Apollo. One of Ares sons jumped toward the monsters mouth with his sword out. He let out a war cry and drove his sword trough its mouth. The tip of the blade comes out of the scorpion's mouth. It becomes dust. They all cheer.
"Okay, okay. Let's all go back to camp. There, we will learn from Fred over their how to kill that kind of beast" said Chiron. The demigods take off for Half-Blood Hill, chatting about their recent fight against the scorpion.
