A warm, early summer breeze blows through Olympus. The night is young and the world is calm, but all is not well in the world of the Gods. Something is threatening the balance. Something... BIG.
"I promise I'll make sure she makes it up to you. I can't go down there and convince a judge, no matter how incompetent, to believe that I'm an actually attorney. Just make the judge believe that Half-Blood is a camp for juvenile delinquents to go to rehabilitate their behavior. That's not a total lie either. You of all of us will be the best at this." The young god paces back and forth on the marble floor of the thrown room, almost seeming out of his element clad in traditional light yellow toga as opposed to some jeans.
"What could she repay me with? This child is a reckless rebel without any sort of cause. Telling her to repay me would result in her doing the opposite. Tell me one thing that she could repay me with." The goddess whom he was speaking with replies. Her grey eyes pierces through the young god like daggers, questioning and calculating.
"I had a vision last night. Your daughter will be caught in a trap that might cost her more than a few scars. But, I can make sure that she gets saved if you promise to make sure that mine gets to half-blood." The god pleads. After what seemed like an eternity, the elder goddess answers.
"Which daughter?"
"Not the one you're thinking of." He replies quickly.
"Then which… you're not talking about Ariadne?" It was out of sorts for the goddess to look panicked, but there was nothing ordinary about the circumstances under which the two were meeting, save for the breeze and the calm.
"Yes. I can make sure she gets saved. I just need to make sure that mine does too." The god sticks out his hand to make a deal. Hesitant, but unwilling to loose a child, the goddess accepts.
"Fine."
Welcome to what is possibly the biggest fanfiction I've ever attempted to write. A few notes before this takes off full force;
1) This is LONG (think 2,000 words a chapter, 40 chapters). If you're into that, this is your bag. If not, I'd advise you to take a look at another fanfic.
2) There are OC's. If you came for something completely canon character driven, I'm sorry. These guys are likeable though, I swear!
3) Praises are always welcome and encouraged! However, I'm not going to take suggestions like "put _ in the next chapter!" That's what my other fic is for.
4) If you must, I only listen to/accept CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. I do not want to hear your flaming or your complaining. If it's a legit suggestion, carry on.
5) Actual chapters start Christmas day! Stay tuned!
