Percy was running, running again and again, every step was a challenge but he knew that if he stopped he was as good as dead. Why, why were half of the gods so stuck up? To think... to think he would betray them, why, why would he do that. He hated that half and had more respect for the rest than he ever thought...

_FLASHBACK_

"Perseus Jackson, you must pay for your crimes" Zeus said clearly angry

"What, What crimes are you talking about" Percy said getting more confused by the second

"Yes, Brother what are you talking about, what are you accusing my son of" Poseidon said.

"He has betrayed us brother and has done it multiple times" Zeus said

"What!" Said almost half of the room "why would he do that"

That remark came from Apollo Hermes Poseidon Hephaestus and Artemis all at ones.

"What are you talking about Zeus" said Percy clearly the most confused out of the bunch.

"You have betrayed us for Gaia and now for the Egyptians" Zeus said clearly smirking at Percy half understanding face.

"I have no idea what you're talking about with the Gaia thing but for the Egyptian, I am guessing you're talking about me hosting Neckbutt..." Percy trailed off

"Yes and you did have a choice in hosting, you always do it is the ancients law" Zeus said

"Technically yes but no I didn't because it was that or letting Setne take control of the entire planet so no I didn't have a choice. And I have heard of some people getting hosted without a choice." (A/n ZIA with Nephthys)

"You had a choice and you have made the choice of standing with the Egyptians."

"No, No I haven't if I didn't react the way I did your precious... EVERYTHING... would be gone. And if I can ask what are you talking about when you say that I betrayed you for Gaia."

"What I mean by that is that your blood was the blood that woke her

"Yeah but I didn't do it on purpose, I got a nose bleed it's not exactly a choice to have a nose bleed. It could have been anyone in that situation."

"Well, I will now ask the council to vote. Who believes Percy should be banished from all contact with demigod kind and shall be hunted by the hunters as punishment for his crimes?"

Percy looked up hoping to see 1 or 2 hands but he didn't expect 6 hands to lift. He swore silently in Greek. He saw that Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Hermes, Apollo, Artemis and Poseidon had their hands down. 'I still have a chance' he thought. Zeus then asked who voted against and his heart sank. Aphrodite wasn't voting so it ended 6 to 5 for his banishment.

"Then the council has voted" Zeus said" and to be sure you do not disrespect it You shall all swore on the river stinks never to inform a demigod about this."

All the gods for immediately swore Aphrodite soon after but the 5 that had voted for him did not. Zeus then informed them that if they didn't he would take away their place on the council and take away the most important thing for them. They still denied but Percy told them to do it. His punishment was set and he couldn't do anything about it except be sure nobody else got hurt from that punishment. They finally all swore but Artemis had to also swear never to inform her hunters of who they were hunting. She was mad but she swore.

That had been 5 months ago and now every day he had a chance of running into Thalia or her friends. He got about 5 hours a week of sleep and was still running from one city to the other. He wasn't allowed to go to the camps for protection and entering one would only hurt everyone.

But today was the worst he hadn't slept at all in 48 hours and had finally fallen asleep when he got a nightmare, a demigod nightmare, no less. He saw Setne with who he guessed was Apophis, along with Gaia and Kronos and a trickster sort of dude all conversing about their failed plan and how they could help each other more. But trickster dude said that the demigods and magicians would realise and ally themselves. But Kronos and Gaia said that the Greeks and Romains would never ally themselves with other gods and that that was why Perseus the prick had been banished.

Percy then woke up after he heard the word Perseus the prick, only to find a sword to his throat. He looked up to see Thalia only to realise that she had taken his mask off while he slept.
