Kingdom of Justice

I was standing outside of Empire State Building. I was both nervous and angry. What I came here for was unthinkable to most people. Even to most demigods.

I stepped in and saw the door man. "600th floor please." I said politely. "There is no 600th floor. Come back some other time." Wow this guy was annoying.

"Look, I don't have time for this. I need to speak to the Olympians right now." He looked up at me and seemed surprised that it was me. I guess he didn't know it was me with that magazine in his face all the time. "Yes sir. My apologies Mr. Jackson." Mr. Jackson? Wow. Now I feel really old for some reason.

The elevator doors swung open. I stepped in and waited until the elevator got to the top.

Just in case anyone here doesn't know what the 600th floor on the Empire State Building is, it's the secret floor where Olympus is located. The gods move where ever Western Civilization Moves. Blah blah blah.

I stepped out and walked towards the Council Room, not taking in the beautiful sight. I got there and swung the doors open. All the gods were sitting in their thrones. Good. Everyone was here. Now here comes the hard part. I was nervous as heck too. I couldn't believe I was doing this. "Nephew, what are you doing here?" said Lord Zeus. Crap. "How should I put this? I Perseus Jackson... declare war on you, Zeus." I said in the same calm voice not looking away from my uncle's angry and confused eyes.

"What?!" Zeus bellowed furiously. I kinda knew this would happen.

"Wait, before you say anything, I just came to see if anyone here would like to join me. I would be fighting to overthrow you, Zeus."

He closed his eyes trying to control his anger. "Very well. Anyone here who wishes to join him, raise your hand." Poseidon, Hades, Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Hermes, and surprisingly Hestia, Athena, and Dionysus. Wow I have a lot of supporters, or at a least a lot of haters of Zeus's rule.

"May I ask you what brought you to this decision, though?" Zeus asked with true curiosity.

"You've let your pride get in the way too many times. It was because of you that Gaea almost destroyed everything. We need to have a different ruler. One who does everything for the benefit of his people. Not one who thinks about himself first before everything."

"Agreed, we need a selfless leader, not a selfish one." I heard a female voice say. Surprisingly it was Athena.

Everyone nodded.

"I see. I will keep this in mind. Now for how everything will be set up." Uh oh. "The mist will be lifted for everyone in North America. Mortals may chose sides. The majority of a god or goddess' children will be fighting for their parent's side. Certain ones may chose differently if they wish. The rest of the world will see it as a major civil war that Canada and Mexico are siding and helping with, nothing more. Now where do you plan on your base being. Obviously mine will be here on Olympus."

I hadn't thought about a base at all. Then it came to me. "Mount Othrys."

"Very well. I hope to see you on the battle field." said Zeus.

Next thing I knew, I was on top of a Mountain with about nine Olympians where the ruins of a collapsed palace lay. It had been a very long time since I'd seen this place. The collapsed fortress of the Titans.

Everyone turned to me and bowed. What? Why were they bowing to me. Then Hestia stood up. Then she said,"What now my king?"
