The torches shined a glossy gleam on the marble of the room. Scented fragrances filled the room, with paintings and bookshelves filled the room. The room housed a large bed, king size, with white sheets, looking as soft as feather. In one corner, an ancient styled vanity desk stood, where a woman sat, her reflection unable to appear from this direction; her glossy hair however, gleamed in the light. As Perseus entered the room, you heard the sound of an object opening. The woman turned, her eyes a piercing blue with pale skin and dark, luscious hair.

"Perseus, hello." She said, fanning herself with a dark, purple fan.

"Hello Levia*," Perseus said, his sea-green eyes darting around as he assimilated his surroundings.

"Something wrong?" She said, her voice sounding like melody throughout the room.

Perseus shook his head, "I just came to…"

"Give my sentence?" She said, as she sighed, placing her fan down on the vanity desk.

Percy looked down; guilt seemed to ooze out of him. Levia smiled, before standing up, her clothes changed suddenly from a chiton into a pure, white chiton that held no decorative designs.

"Perseus, my friend, my judgment will unite everyone. I must do what is right."

"But then who will be my friend? Will I remain as a single immortal surrounded by poisonous thorns?" Percy said, his words tumbling out of his mouth in anxiety.

"Hush, don't speak such things, I don't want you to suffer the fate as well." Levia said scolding Perseus.

She placed a hand on his shoulder, "Be safe."

Percy nodded, before following Levia walked down the corridors and hallways of the city of Olympus. Her chiton trailed behind her, glowing like a flag of innocence draped upon an unjustly punished creature.

Council Room

"Levia, you are charged with being a traitor and an enemy of Olympus." Zeus said, his youthful, yet stern face staring down upon Levia.

"Oh, I'm sure you could have come up with more than that Zeus." Levia said, her eyes casting a cooling effect upon those near her.

Zeus' eyes turned a stormy gray, and thunder was heard in the distance. He looked up, and stared at the fellow kings and queens of Olympus.

"To our new members, Athena, Apollo, Dionysius, Artemis, and Ares, this is a sign of what Olympus is when weak. Olympus will tear itself apart if these problems aren't dealt with."

Perseus stood nearby, staring in fear of what the Olympians might do. Levia turned her head and saw Percy's nervous face, before smiling and turning back.

The new Olympians stared down at Levia, who stood prim and proper.

"Father, the best action for this would to make sure Levia's actions are true." Athena said, as she analyzed the situation, her gray eyes neutral and unbiased.

"She spoke to the Titans, our enemies. She even tried to free one, she deserves whatever she gets!" Ares said, his eyes shined brightly, his lust for punishment was as strong as his lust for war.

Zeus slammed his bolt, silencing the room, "I have concluded that Levia will face for an eternity the torment of a broken world. She will watch the world, and will be unable to help it. She will be an immortal who cannot use her powers, and will wander the lands with restlessness. All in favor?"

The kings and queens of Olympus stared at Levia, before raising their hands or keeping their hands down. Percy's heart sank, as the votes came in, the end result came up as seven hands raised and six down.

"The punishment will come to pass, Levia, The Lioness, The One who Unites, and The One of Blue, is hereby sentenced to walk the earth and unable to use your powers fully."

Levia's body started to glow, and as she stood fading away, she gazed upon Perseus and smiled. She faced the hearth of Olympus, and spoke inaudible words towards Hestia, who sat there, tending the flames of Olympus. Hestia turned towards Levia's body and nodded, her eyes were painted with sadness and the gloomy acceptance of fate. A bright flash flooded the room as Levia became transported to the ground, far from Olympus.

Perseus stood in shock, and numbness passed through him, but he still quickly walked away.

"Wait Perseus." Zeus said, his voice piercing through Percy.

Percy turned, his face stoic, and walked towards Zeus. He bowed before the king of Olympus, controlling his emotions, and stood.

"I hope this shows you what happens when you side against Olympus."

Percy stood still, before finally saying "Yes, Zeus."

Zeus nodded, "This is how we keep Olympus united!" Zeus then quieted his loud voice, and said, "Perseus, remember, you may be a powerful minor god, but you cannot defeat us. Not with Titans, Giants, or anyone."

"Of course, I am just a minor god, I know my place." Percy said, hiding his sadness.

Zeus smiled, "You are a prime example of what Olympus should be, humble and respectful. You are dismissed."

Percy nodded before walking out of the doors of the council room, leaving the gods to their talk. He balled his fists, and flashed to his room. A cozy cotton-blue colored the sides, with a sea-green color for the roof. His room housed a balcony, which pointed towards an ocean of Olympus, created by Poseidon. He sighed, and let his walls break through, and slumped to the ground. After a few minutes of utter sadness, Percy finally stood up and resumed to put the walls up. He walked towards his writing desk, where a leather book lay. He opened the pages and flipped through them, gazing at his art and writings. Finally arriving at a blank page, Perseus wrote a single sentence.

'She didn't stand against the world, the world stood against here, and as she fell from peace, she fell into despair.'
