The fourteen Olympians were all sat in the throne room in Olympus. It was roughly a week after the end of the second Titan War and the celebrations had died down. At the moment the throne room was in utter chaos… as always, and each Olympian was arguing with another. The only exception was the peaceful Goddess of the Hearth. Hestia looked at each of her fellow Olympians, sighed, and then shook her head at their immaturities.

"YOU ARE NOT THE OLDER BROTHER!" roared a very pissed off Artemis.

"AM TOO!" was the immature reply of Apollo.

"ARE NOT!"

"AM TOO"

Hestia looked at her niece and nephew as the continued to bicker back and forth.

"Why can't you keep it in your pants, you arrogant ass-hole!" came the voice of a very murderous-looking Queen of the Gods.

Again, Hestia sighed. It looked like her younger brother had slept with yet another uncountable amount of women. Glancing around the rest of the throne room, she continued to sigh at what see saw.

Hermes was being chased by a very pissed off Demeter who would constantly scream, "You need more cereal". Typical.

Ares and Hephaestus were locked in battle over a very smug Aphrodite, who was wearing a very slutty outfit.

Athena was raging at a very drunk Dionysus about her intellect. Nothing new there then.

She continued to look around and saw a sight that she never thought she'd see. Hades and Poseidon were looking at Zeus discomfort and were laughing. Upon further inspection, she saw that they were making bets about how long Zeus would last before Hera cut of her manhood. It was so nice to see the two brothers getting along despite the whole situation with Percy.

Suddenly, there was a flash of blinding light in the middle of the throne room. When the light cleared, stood in the centre of the room was The Fates.

"Olympians, we have noticed your constant bickering and are tired of it" said the old woman in the middle, Clotho.

"Therefore, we have decided that you need to learn how to act like a family" came the voice of the woman from the right, Lachesis.

"How do you propose we get along?" asked a very pale Zeus. Clearly his scolding by Hera had scared him.

"Simple, you shall read" said the old lady on the left, Atropos.

At this Athena perked up. She loved reading.

"What do you propose we read?" she asked, a little too eagerly, earning her numerous stares from the rest of council.

Atropos snapped her fingers and the throne room was suddenly filled with around 50 very confused demigods, Hunters and Chiron.

"Erm, what just happened?" asked a very confused Percy to which all the demigods nodded in unison.

"The Olympians are in need of some… family bonding" Lachesis began, smirking. "We have decided that they should read a book and bought you all here to join them."

Athena was literally sat on the edge of her throne and could hardly contain her excitement.

"What book shall we be reading?" she asked again.

All three Fates turned to her causing her to start sweating. The snapped their fingers again and suddenly a book appeared in their hands, which was handed to Athena.

"It is the story of a great hero. The saviour of Olympus; Perseus Jackson. It tells his story from when he was 10 years old and concludes at the end of the Titan War. It contains all the thoughts of Perseus and numerous others in this room." Clotho explained.

"So in other words, enjoy" said a very smug looking Atropos, before the three old hags flashed out of the room.

All eyes in the room turned to Percy who was holding hands with his girlfriend, Zoe Nightshade. He looked very uncomfortable at the attention before he managed to squeak out: "Erm, shall we read it then?"

His voice was unusually high causing the entire throne room to erupt in laughter. Zeus snapped his fingers and a floor carpet appeared on the… you guessed it, floor.

"Demigods and Chiron, Please sit and we shall begin." He said, having regained the colour in his face.

The campers sat down eager to read all about Percy's thoughts and feelings. After Percy sat down, Zoe leaned on his shoulder and snuggled closer to him.

"So I think I'll begin then" said a very happy and eager Athena.
