This is my first chapter where I used Poseidon and Athena's POV. Hope you enjoy.
Chapter 4
Poseidon's POV
"Percy, I have to go speak to Athena now. OK?" I said looking at my son.
"Ok dad." He said and came to hug me. "Thanks."
I smiled and left.
At that moment I felt Lady Athena leave her cabin. I took a breath. I was never that good at speaking to Athena without having to cause a scale 7 earthquake. But for Percy, I'll have to calm down.
We met at the dining pavilion. Thankfully it was empty. I was thankful because if things got out of hand, less children would be hurt.
Then I saw her, so I went to her.
"Athena." I said.
"Poseidon," was all she said.
"Athena I have a proposal to make."
"I'm listening," she said, raising an eyebrow.
"For millennia we have hated each other, mainly because of our dispute about Athens. Our feuds caused more than one life to be lost and more then one family to be ruined. But also, out feuds may cause my son and you daughter to be very unhappy with us. I don't want them to hate us. And I'm sure we think alike when it comes to our children. What do you say?" I said calmly.
"Yes, for that you are right" she said with distaste. "So what should we do?"
"We should put away our old grudges and look to the future of our children. I know it won't be easy, but still, we have to think of them. I admit defeat for Athens. It is yours. But cities can be destroyed and rebuilt. Our children's faith in us…not so much. So what do you say? Truce? For our children. " I said taking out my hand.
She seemed to be thinking about it. Typical. I tried not to get angry by thinking "Percy is happy. Percy is happy."
Finally she said " Out of all my enemies who decided to surrender and make a truce, yours is the most worth while." And then she shook my hand.
"So, will you let their relationship continue? I've already gave Percy my permission. You?" I said.
"Lord Poseidon. Percy is a very powerful half-blood. You saw how he gets when he's scared or angry. That was one of the reasons I was against all this. But Annabeth seems to believe that his love for her will knock some sense into him. She seems to trust why shouldn't i?" She said with a smile.
"Great. I'll got tell Percy," I said. But then I remembered something "So what did you get her?"
Athena raised an eyebrow. "I think you know." She snapped. "I will not be called grandmother at this time!" She turned around and started walking away.
I smiled. Then an idea hit me.
"Hey Athena." I said. She turned around and raised an eyebrow. "Want to mess with them a bit?"
She smiled. "So, what do you have in mind?"
Athena's POV
When he asked me if we wanted to mess with them, I couldn't help a smile. Poseidon was always someone for a good joke. When her told me his plan, all I could do was laugh.
"Lord Poseidon, you're as evil as Hermes. Ok let's go."
We parted and I made my way to Annabeth's cabin. Before I entered, I tried to do my best attempt at a sad face. When I entered, Annabeth saw my expression, went on her bed and started crying into her pillow.
I sighed. "Lord Poseidon and I have agreed. Percy will be taken to his palace under water and remain there."
"Whaaaat?" cried Annabeth.
"he is too unstable Annabeth. He cannot be trusted."
She stood up and yelled "I HATE YOU!" With that she stormed outside and left for the beach.
Everything was going according to plan.
So what do you think? Please review. It means a lot. Tnks.
