Chapter 1 Oaths by Brothers

Disclaimer I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians. This is just a story for fun.

Hades the god of the Underworld entered the lobby of the Empire State Building. He was wearing a dark black suite with a red tie. He passed a couple of people reading some news papers. Hades briefly glanced at the news paper and read the front of it.

"America Joins War" it read. Hades muttered a few curses underneath his breath. Little did the mortals know that the leaders of the Axis were Hade's children and that the leaders of the Allies were the children of Hade's brothers Zeus and Poseidon. That was part of the reason why Zeus had called Hades and Poseidon to Olympus. They were going to make a oath to have no more children for two reasons. They wanted no more disasters or wars caused by their children. The other was a prophecy made by the Oracle that the next child of the big three would make a choice that would either save or destroy Olympus. Hades had a great grudge against the prophecy. A few weeks ago he had been with his wife Maria di Angelo and their two children Bianca and Nico di Angelo at a hotel. Zeus had demanded earlier that Hades send his children to Camp Half-Blood. Hades refuses. He did not trust his brothers.

Zeus fearing the two were the ones in the prophecy and threw a lightning bolt at the hotel. Hades managed to save his children, but his wife was killed. He summoned his furies and ordered them to take Matia to the Underworld and his children to the Lotus Hotel and Casino where they would be safe. The Oracle appeared before Hades saying that she had warned him that this would happen. Hades in a great fit of rage cursed the Oracle.

"I swear, as long as my children remain outcasts, as long as I labor under the curse of your Great Prophecy, the Oracle of Delphi will never have another mortal host. You will never rest in peace. No other will take your place. Your body will wither and die, and still the Oracle's spirit will be locked inside you. You will speak your bitter prophecies until you crumble to nothing. The Oracle will die with you!" Hades roared as he cursed the Oracle.

Hades entered the elevator and pushed a button marked 600th floor. There was a flash of light and the elevator doors opened. Hades stepped out and looked around. Olympus was a bunch of large Greek buildings sitting on the clouds several miles above New York City. Hades changed from his suite into a black silk robe. He made his way to the Hall of the Gods. This is where the thrones of the gods were kept. He found his brothers Zeus and Poseidon waiting for him. Zeus was wearing a blue robe and Poseidon was wearing a green one.

"Glad you can join us brother. Now we can begin." Said Zeus.

"May I ask what were going to swear this oath on?" Asked Poseidon.

"We will swear on the River Styx." Said Zeus.

The three put their hands together and said their new oath together.

"We swear by the River Styx never to have any more affairs with mortal women and to not to produce anymore demigod children!" They said in unison.

They separated their hands and nodded in agreement with one another. Poseidon left the room leaving Hades and Zeus alone. Hades faced Zeus.

"I have an oath for you dear brother." Said Hades.

"Oh and what's that?" Asked Zeus.

"I swear on the River Styx that the next child you bare with a mortal will suffer horribly, in retaliation for what you did to my family!" Declared Hades.

Zeus tried to fake ignorance.

"I have no clue what your talking about." He said.

"Oh please I knew it was you. You threw a lightning bolt at the hotel they were at and killed them!" Shouted Hades.

"Yes I'll admit I did. But I only did it to protect Olympus." Insisted Zeus.

"Oh please, you did it because you just couldn't stand the thought that my children could be the ones to save Olympus!" Shouted Hades.

Zeus cringed a little bit with guilt. Then his guilt turned into rage.

"Be gone from Olympus! I will not tolerate your presence any longer!" Shouted Zeus.

"Fine! Just you remember the next child you have I will make sure they suffer painfully when they die and I will torture your child's soul in the Underworld! Then you will feel the pain I felt seeing your loved ones die and being completely helpless to do anything!" Shouted Hades as he left the throne room.

The clouds around Olympus thunder as Hades left. Zeus sighed and sat in his throne. He wonder what events the future held and worried about Hades oath.

To be continued.
