A/N: Here is the second chapter! Thank you every single one of you especially those who had fav/followed/reviewed, I thought no one would bother reading at first hehe.

Artemis smiled at Dike as she walked past and greeted Zeus. As the goddess of justice, Dike might just be able to assure Zeus that Apollo is not the main culprit of the war, and should certainly not be solely blamed for it.

'My lord,' Artemis said, 'Perhaps the goddess of justice may enlighten you.'

Zeus nodded and gestured at Dike to speak. The three fates stood by the throne of Zeus.

'Father Zeus,' Dike said, 'Artemis has spoken to me about what is happening. Let me assure you, justice does not work by pushing all the blame onto a single person. Besides, Apollo cannot alter the future in any ways, he could only reveal prophesies, whether revealed early or not, it still had to come true someday.'

Zeus narrowed his eyes. 'You're saying Apollo is not in the wrong?'

'No, my lord. Everyone plays a part. Apollo did involve himself by supporting that foolish descendant of his. That does not mean that he is the only culprit in the war. As far as I am concern, some of us had been neglecting the signs and thus failing to postpone a major event that will happen sooner or later anyway.'

'So I should punish every single one of you, I suppose?'

Artemis watched as the throne room burst out in protest.

'Are you kidding me?' Dionysus complained, 'As if I don't already have an ongoing punishment!'

'Since Hades had been such a stuck up good-for-nothing, can we send him as our representative for punishment?' Demeter said.

Hades stood up in defiance and cursed in ancient Greek. 'Enough, lady of the cereal! How am I even stuck –?'

'You're an annoying piece of schist!'

Hades roared. The tortured-soul fabric stirred in his cloak.

'In the name of Styx, are you serious, father?' Ares yelled.

Hephaestus flicked a fireball across the room in anger. 'I just lost my favourite son!'

The fireball hit Poseidon's left foot and he yelped. He grabbed his trident and started to point it at Hephaestus.

'Peace, Olympians.' Artemis interrupted the mayhem. 'The council is still in process.'

'You're all ruining my make-up,' Aphrodite said, her charmspeak working into the Olympians. 'Stop that.'

'Woah look, the chaste goddess and the love goddess working as one!' Hermes mused. Artemis and Aphrodite ignored him.

The gods and goddesses returned to their places after giving one another the death stare. All except Dike, Apollo and Artemis, who resumed their position in front of Zeus' throne.

Artemis glanced nervously at Dike and she returned the look with a determined expression.

'I would recommend you to give it some more thought before carrying out any kind of punishments, my lord,' Dike said after everyone had calmed down. 'Is it really necessary?'

Zeus regarded the goddess of justice. 'If I forgive every time, people are just going to keep making the same mistakes. They have to learn from it. I insist on punishments. You, of everyone here, should be clear on that.'

Dike curtsied in respect. 'If that is the case, how are you planning to do that, father?'

The air filled with static as Zeus considered said question. The Olympians sat by the edge of their seats as they await Zeus' final verdict.

'As I cannot punish everyone at once, I have to do it group by group,' Zeus decided. 'Each group will receive a different set of punishments. I shall start with the Dionysus and the twins. Dionysus will have another extra 50 years of service at Camp Half-Blood. Artemis and Apollo will also serve at Camp Half-Blood and oversee our children for until I decided you can return.'

Artemis's eyes widened. 'But father –'

'Do not disobey me.'

'What about my hunt?'

'It is because of your dedication to the hunt that caused–' Zeus glanced at Dike, 'partly caused this war.'

'Father, I do it to keep the monsters under control.' Artemis insisted.

'Fine. You get Saturdays off for your hunting party.'

Artemis decided that was about the best negotiation she could ask Zeus to offer so she did not protest any further, even though one day per week was not enough. She just had to put her huntresses under the guidance of her loyal Lieutenant Thalia for now.

Apollo, however, was not so lucky.

'Father, what about m–'

Zeus glared at Apollo and he lost the courage to speak again, developing a sudden interest in the mosaic floors.

'Oh goody,' Dionysus said. 'Baby-sitting with help from my favourite twin siblings.'

Zeus waved his hand and Dionysus disappeared in a shower of gold, along with Artemis and Apollo, headed towards Camp Half-Blood.

A/N: I'm twisting it back to Camp Half-Blood, this time with Artemis and Apollo in it! This is going to be so cute and epic :p
