Hey there! For those of you who read my other story, Percy Jackson Arrivals to the Underworld, you may be wonder why I posting this when I said I wouldn't be updating for awhile. The reason is that I already have a few Chapters typed up unlike with the Arrivals to the Underworld story.
I hope you enjoy this story. Please leave a comment. This chapter is taken from House of Hades with a bit of editing so it wasn't as long. If you see a mistack in spelling grammar, or whatever, please let me know and I'll gladly change it.
Disclaimer: I am too young and female so how can I be Rick Riordan?
Leo throw the wrench at the doors. Right before it hit the 'up' button, the giant, Clytius, knocked it out of the way.
"Foolish mortals. Did you really think that it'd be that easy?" Clytius bellowed. *I don't feel like writing it but Hazel and Leo, with Hecates help, defeat the giant.
"Leo get the doors!" Hazel yelled pointing to where her friends were trapped.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Hecate said as Leo limped towards the door.
"Why not?" Hazel asked.
"It wouldn't be wise." Was all Hecate said before flashing out. Leo was about to push the up button when Hazel felt the hairs and the back of her neck stand up. "Leo, watch out!" She yelled running forward and tackling him two seconds before a bolt of lightning crashed thru the ceiling and hit the chains securing the door in place.
When the smoke cleared the doors of death were gone and in their place were a pile of ash and some fried chains. Realization flowed through Hazels head. Zeus just sentenced two of her best friends to hell. Tears streamed down Hazels face as she realized that she'd probably never see her friends again.
The rest of the seven and Nico found them not long after. Hazel sat with her head in her knees crying while Leo was pale. "What happened?" Nico asked worried about his sister. None of them had noticed that the doors weren't there like they were suppose to.
"They're gone." Hazel sobbed as Nico and Frank tried to comfort her.
"Who's gone?" Jason asked trying to get a reaction out of Leo who had yet to move.
"Oh gods." Piper said looking around and figuring out what's wrong. "Please tell me I'm not right?!"
Leo nodded as Hazel sobbed harder.
"Who's gone?" Frank repeated Jasons question. "What's wrong?"
"P-pe-percy and Annabeth!" Hazel cried. The answer visibly caused everyone who didn't know before to pale drastically.
"W-what happened?" Frank asked trying to cry himself.
"We...we...we." She couldn't finish because she was crying so hard.
"I was almost to the doors." Leo whispered. "My fingers brushed the button that would release them."
"What happened?" Jason asked quietly not sure if he really wanted to know.
"Lightning came from the sky and hit the chains." Leo answered looking his friend in the eye. "The door disappeared with them still in it."
It took a moment for everyone to realize what that meant. All Hades broke loose when they realized what it meant. "Oh gods." "He didn't. He couldn't." "My freakin dad just destroyed his chances of winning this war." How could they do this without Percy and Annabeth? How could they fulfill the prophecy of seven without seven members?
"Nico and Reyna will deliver the statue to then join you in time for the end. Percy and Annabeth are gone, to be replaced by death and war. The gods will pay for this when the time comes." An anonymous voice whispered. "Go heroes and win this war."

Throne room after the war.
Third PoV
The gods granted one wish to every child involved in both war or who were apart of the seven. The seven were to go last and it was now Thalia's turn. Jason and the rest of the seven had explain to Percy and Annabeth friends what had happened and most had asked for a life away from the gods then immortality.
"Thalia Grace, please step forward." Zeus commanded hoping his daughter would ask for godhood. "What is your one wish?"
Thalia didn't even hesitate to answer. "I want nothing to do with you." She said in an even calm tone shocking almost everyone in the room.
"Pardon me?" Zeus asked hoping he misheard.
"You heard me." Thalia replied a hint of anger seeping into her voice. "From this moment on, I will keep my powers, but you will not be my father. You will not talk to me as if I was and you will not call me your daughter. I will go back to the hunt as Thalia, the girl who has the powers of a daughter of Zeus but is an immortal mortal."
Zeus stayed at his daughter shocked as Poseidon sent her a small smile. She was very brave to disown her father so publicly like this. Jason decided to, since Thalia was the last one to go before the seven, make his wish know. "I too father, ask for the same thing as Thalia. From this moment on you will no longer have any living demigod children."
"A-alright." Zeus finally said. He had sworn on Styx not to say no to any requests so there was nothing to do. He could argue the fact in fear of angering an already angry goddess of wisdom and a god of the sea. "Your wish will be granted. Piper McLean, please step forward."
"I wish for Jason and I to have a safe life away from the world of the gods." Piper said. The gods quickly agreed and went to the next member of the seven, Leo.
"I wish for you to release Calypso from her imprisonment." Leo said fidgeting with a piece of wire. Leo listened as the gods explained that if they were to bring her into the mortal world she'd have to be mortal and would eventually die. Leo agreed because he knew that Calypso would give anything to be free and would mine dying. Next was Frank.
"I want for Hazel and I to have a safe life away from the gods." Frank said giving a slight smile when the gods agreed. The daughter of Pluto went next.
"I want Hades, Roman and Greek versions of him, and Lady Hestia, Greek and Roman, to be members of the council like they deserve." Hazel said. She thought her father would be more understood and happier if he was accepted and had an input on what the council decided and Lady Hestia, or Lady Vesta, was always one of her favourite goddess. Hazel smiled when two new thrones appeared for the new council members to sit on. Reyna was next.
"I wish for a safe life for myself and whoever I fall in love too as well as Leo and Calypso." Reyna stated. She added Leo and Calypso to her wish because she and Leo had become good friends when they were on their quest and she thought he deserved it. Finally it was Nico's turn.
Thalia looked at the son of Hades and mentally grinned. He was planning something and it was going to be good. She just knew it. "I wish for Zeus to step down as king of gods and abandon all rule he has on the council and for Hera, as queen of gods, to take his place." Nico said glaring at the god of the skies.
"WHAT!" Zeus bellowed outraged. "How dare you!"
"How dare I?" Nico asked. "I wasn't the one that doomed Percy and Annabeth. You have no right to rule and your wife, no matter how annoying, doesn't let personal grudges clog her judgement."
"There is no way I will grant that wish." Zeus said still sounding pissed.
"You have to." Thalia said liking Nico's wish. "You swore on Styx."
"She's right." Hades said. "You are no longer ruler of the council or the other gods. Your title as the king of gods is hereby gone and your wife will rule in your place." The other gods nodded their agreement and the demigods watched as the king of gods was demoted and his wife filled in his place.
Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed it and I would very much like to hear your opinion. Next Chapter will take place 3000 years in the future.
