Chapter 4

Percy Pov:

Apollo lead me down a grand hallway into a huge room with a lot of people was sitting around a long table. Near the edge of the table a man stood up. When he got to us he bent down to my height.

" hello my name is Zeus," he greeted me," welcome to Olympus home of the Gods and Goddesses."

He gestured to everyone at the table behind him.

" You can meet everyone later but right now young Percy I have someone very important your father Poseidon," He said.

When Zeus said your father Poseidon a men stood up. When he started towards us I saw that he wore a Bermuda shirt and tan shorts. He had a beard that was well trimmed. What startled me the most was that his eyes were sea green like mine. Around his eyes were laugh lines which said that he laughed a lot.

When he got to me he bent down into he was my height.

" I know everything is confusing right now but if you give me time I will explain everything to you," said my dad

I couldn't do anything but nod my head. While he was speaking the room quickly cleared out. within seconds it was only me and dad.

" Sally told you stories of Greek Mythology right?" Asked Poseidon

" yes," I said timidly

" Okay I don't know how to say this, he explained," everything all the stories are true."

I just stood there as he talked. I was quickly lost in memories. Mom used to tell me stories about the Gods who watch over us In their domains. I always wanted them to be true to be able to have one of theirs powers to as mom said to protect people from harms way.

" Percy are you listening to me," dad voice interrupted my thoughts

When I looked up I saw he was looking at my with amusement in his eyes.

" Sorry dad got distracted by my own thoughts," I said quickly

" oh I see," he replied with a sad smiled.

After dad explained everything to me he told me the gods and Goddesses I meant were in some way related to me. Everything became confusing to me because all the information was said quickly.

Dad saw my face and explained to me that it will be confusing for a while into I get to know my surroundings.

After he explained what was going to happen. He lead me down a long hallway. We passed many gigantic doors. I wasn't paying attention to where we was going. I couldn't take my eyes of the decorations around me.

When dad stopped I ran into him and fell down on m butt. He just turned around and looked down at me and laughed. When he helped me up he opened the door and held it open for me to walk in. The room we came into was huge. The roof looked like it was made of glass. The walls were a light green. The whole room looked like an undersea palace. I was too busy staring at everything that I didn't notice that dad was talking to me. I quickly started trying to pay attention to him.

" this is my palace," he explained," you will be mostly staying here unless another god or goddess wants you to sleep in theirs,"

" okay," I replied

He showed me a room that was blue and also had an ocean theme to it. When he told me that this was my room I quickly turned around and was staring at him in shock.

"I never had my own room before," I said timidly

" well you do now," he said seriously

I quickly turned around and ran up too him to give him a hug. I couldn't stop saying thank you. Before he left he told me that soon I will have toys and other things to put in the room. He left and told me to rest into dinner since I still had some symptoms of the flu. Once I was alone I sat on my bed thinking about mom and how I will never see her again. Even if she somehow survived Gabe.

At that thought I couldn't stop myself from crying. I tried to stop when the door opened but I couldn't. I didn't realize that the person at the door came in into I felt arms around me pulling me into an embrace.

" Don t worry little one," said a strange voice.

When I turned my head I couldn't see anyone. I swallowed the lump in my throat and worked up the courage to pull out of the embrace. What I saw scared me a little.

The man around his early 20's looked at me. He had pale skin and what scared me the most was that his eyes were pitch black. He had black hair like my dad so I thought maybe they could be related somehow.

" don't be afraid I wont hurt you," the man said

I figured that since I was in a safe place that I could trust whoever was sitting next to me.

" M name is Hades,"Smiled at me

" like the Greek god," I asked

All he did was shake his head yes. My mom told me some stories of the Greek God Hades but not much.

" don't worry some of the stories are over exaggerated," said Hades he didn't seem too bad like the stories said. He told me that my dad sent him in here to get me and bring me to dinner. So we both got up and left my room and walked down another long hallway to the dinning room.

Uncle Hades told me while we walked that the Gods and goddess were throwing me a welcome home party since I was Poseidon son and all. Everyone on Olympus was invited.

It felt like we were walking for hours. When we got to a gigantic door I felt myself start to get nervous. When we got there everyone looked at us and smiled. Everyone welcomed us kindly which made me happy. I sat down in a empty set not far from where dad was sitting.

" hello little one," said a female voice.

When I turned around I saw a women in a white dress with gold trimmings. She kinda reminded me off my mom. I felt the sickeningly feeling in my gut return.

" Hi," I said timidly

"My name is Hera I am Zeus's wife the goddess of marriage," she said

We were interrupted by Nymphs coming in carrying trays of food and drinks. She smiled at me and told me that we will finish our conversation later and she showed me to my correct seat. Everyone around me was talking and joking around with each other. I felt like I didn't belong here. They did try to talk to me but any conversation we had didn't last long.

Hades Pov:

I watched Percy just sitting there picking at his food. The other notice to but just let It go and did nothing and just saying that since he was new he was being shy. When I got up I startled Persephone who was talking with her mom about what sounded like cereal. I walked over to Percy and sat down in the now empty seat that got vacated by some minor god. The boy looked up then quickly looked back down at his food.

" Hey are you starting to like it here?" I asked trying to start a conversation with the kid.

Percy looked over and just nodded. He looked sad when I saw his face maybe he was homesick and there is no tell what trauma he endured with that monster called his stepfather.

" I have a gift for you," I said, " I had this for a long time I first got it when I was your age," I handed him a old teddy bear.

" wow," was all he said. His eyes widen with delight, then he jumped up and hugged me.

" your welcome," I smiled," now eat your dinner,"

He hugged the bear to his chest and picked up his fork and started to eat his dinner. When I looked up I saw my siblings watching us with smiles on their faces.

Poseidon pov

After dinner I went over to Percy and helped him stand. We walked silently to his room where I told him to go take a bath and get ready for bed. He gently place the teddy bear on his bed and ran to the bathroom. I watched on the mirror as he undresses and climbed into the bath tube.

When he was in the bath I sat on his bed a wave of joy hit me knowing that I get to watch my youngest son grow up and get to actually raise him myself. When I looked around the room seeing it empty now but knowing so it will be filled with toys of his own.

After a couple of minutes he walked out of the bathroom completely dry and ran up to the bed and jumped up on it. I helped him get settled in. I started to tell him stories from Greek Mythology and during the middle of a story I looked down at Percy and saw him sound asleep with the teddy bear hugged tightly to his chest.

I smiled and got up to pull the blanket tighter to him. When I went to kiss him on the forehead he said quietly in is sleep "I love you daddy". I couldn't keep a smile of my face after that.

I quickly flashed to where the others were waiting for me to watch Gabe trial. He was sentence with the death penalty with so many charges I couldn't remember all of them. He was rushed out of the court room before the mob of angry people could kill him there selves.

No one pov:

After the trial when Gabe was in his cell he died suddenly that the police didn't know what happened to him. Only the Gods truly know exactly what happened. They think he committed suicide but know one knows. When his spirit entered the underworld it went straight to the Fields of Punishment and he got the most horrible punishment ever.
