Sorry! I know its been a while but I have other stories too. Or just one. Still.
AnnabethPOV
The plan was going perfectly. Break up with Percy. Check. Get him angry. Check. Though the thing with his eyes was weird. Date Nico. Check. Request an audience with the Olympians. Check. I was currently waiting in the throne room, waiting for Poisidon to make an apperance. He strolled in and the meeting comenced. " If you don't mind, I would like to hurry because I have a meeting with Percy. He is helping me redesign my palace to make it less vulnerable against attacks." He said proudly. I was shocked. Percy didn't have an architectual bone in his body. My shock must have been evident on my face. I shook my head to clear it.
" I beleive Percy is host to a part of Kronos' soul. Whether he knows it or not." There were quiete a few outcries. The loudest coming from Poisidon and, to everyones surprise, Hades. Zues held up his hand and everyone shut up.
" Tell me," Lord Zues began. " What is your evidence?" I took a few deep breaths. Poisidon looked as if he wanted to blast me where I stood. Hades looked down on me as if I were an interesting specimen. I cleared my throat.
" On the day that Percy and I broke up he was angry because I asked something he didn't like. I asked what happened to his eyes. Since after the war his temper wasn't the best. Anyways, when I told Percy I wanted to break up because there was another, he got angry. His eyes turned gold and he caused a hurricane just like when he faught Hyperion. The only thing that stopped him from killing me was Thalia. Which brings me to her. I beleive if Percy is Kronos then Thalia is within his ranks." I babbled out in a rush. At the part where I told them about Thalia, Aphrodite had to hold Artemis back so she wouldn't attack me with her bare hands.
" Young Demi-god, it is one thing to accuse the savior of Olympus. It becomes personal when you insult my daughter. Why have you just barely come to us now." Lord Zues said through clenched teeth. He was visibly straining as to not grab his Master Bolt and bar-b-q me. I was angry though.
" Luke was the real hero. He died for Olympus. He killed himself for us and Percy gets all the credit. As for my timing, I had to make sure my accusations were sound." I said. Zues' eyes flashed dangerously. He opened his mouth to say something but was cut off at the sound of Poisidon's voice.
" That is proposterous! Percy never asked to be congradulated. If anything he always twisted it to make other people sound better than him. He hates the attention and all the lives that were sacraficed in this war." He ranted. " More than a few times I had to tell him to stay at camp. He wanted to leave because he didn't want-"
" Because he didn't want to risk his own hide again!" I figured out that second it was bad to a) Cut off a god and b) insult his son in the same sentence. He was about to get up and do something horrible when my mother's voice rang out. Strong and proud.
" Perhaps Annabeth has a point." She began. " We all know that each of us have annoyed him in one way or another. He may have gotten fed up and let Kronos' soul come into his. Perhaps he has, for lack of better words, gone to the dark side." Poisidon was absolutly fuming.
" Each of you know him. Either from meeting him personally or from watching him. He would never, never, betray his friends and family. His fatal flaw says that much. He fought with cut up versions of the prophecy for five years. He never got the straight truth yet he still faught. If any of you beleive this girl than it is because you have a personal grudge." As he said this he looked at Athena. My mother looked as if she was going to argue when Hades cleared his throat. Everyone looked his way at once.
" I have to say I agree with Poisidon. The boy has done many favors to the gods. He has caused my own child and many of the minor gods' kids to be claimed. He has prevented another war for at least a century. I am proud to call the boy my nephew. As for his temper, it is survivor's guilt. He would rather have died than let those other people die." Hades finished with a cold smile in my direction. It sent chills down my spine. Zues seemed to be contemplating it.
" All those that beleive the daughter of Athena raise your hands." Only Athena, Ares and I raised our hands. Zues asked those who disbeleived and everyone else's hands went up. Even Mr. D's. I seemed to deflate in defeat. My shoulders slumped as I walked out of the throne room.
PercyPOV
I walked into my cabin to grab the blue prints for my father's palace. I sat on the bed but my ass hit something hard. I jumped up and whirled around. There was a cloth on my bed with a note layed on top of it. I reached for the note. It said:
Percy,
This is for you. Make good use of it.
I unwrapped the cloth wearily. When the cloth opened fully it showed a dagger. It wasn't just any dagger. It made the room go cold. It was made of Stygian iron and it seemed to hurt just to look at it. I picked it up, expecting my fingers to grow cold. Instead, it felt as though it was an extension of my arm. It seemed to work for me better than Riptide. I could feel the power radiating from the knife. It was like Kronos' sythe. Beautiful and terrible. I guess I should have told Chiron about it but something told me not to. I usually listen to my gut. It got me out of tougher situations. I put the dagger in a sheath I bought for Annabeth but never got to give it to her. I attached the dagger to my arm and pulled my sleeve down to cover it.
WITH POISIDON
" Father, I beleive if you make the west wing a bit smaller you will be able to build the theater in the south wing bigger. Also, if you make the game room smaller then you can expand the servants quarters and the Cyclops quarters. It will make everyone happy." I said beaming. I look over to see my dad pacing and muttering.
" Dad, you okay?" I ask. He looks at me as if surprised someone was there with him. He sighed.
" Yes, just a bit agitated son. Everything is fine." He said. I started to edge away from him. You know, just in case he started a tsunami or hurricane. He noticed and let out a hearty chuckle.
" Not at you, at something someone said about you." He then went on to tell me the whole story. I suppose he was expecting an outburst or a rant, so I guess he was surprised when I shrugged my shoulders.
" Why aren't you fuming. Your ex girlfriend comes in and starts throwing wild accusations around about you and you shrug?" Poisidon said through clenched teeth. He was madder than me.
" I just don't care anymore father. I really don't. Everyone can say I'm Kronos himself and I still won't care. I'm tired of all of this. All of these machinations and plottings and wars. I'm just too tired to fight anymore. I can't do it anymore." I said sadly. I was feeling really dizzy. My head was spinning and it hurt really badly. I swayed once and fell to the floor. I tried getting up but then I started vomiting blood. My nose and eyes were bleeding.
" Percy! What is going on?" My father asked as he held me. " Apollo!" He yelled. Poisidon did the weird instant materializing thing and we were in the middle of a meeting at camp Half Blood . Blood was trickling out of my mouth, eyes and nose. He looked at a bunch of Apollo campers. " Help him!" Father yelled franticly. "AHHHHHH!" When I screamed it broke the surprise and soon the Apollo cabin was working over me, through out the whole thing my father held my hand. I tried not to let it show but I was in a lot of pain. One of the Apollo kids, her name was Angelina, found my blade.
" Percy what is this?" She asked. I had to think up a lie quick. " It was a present from someone." I managed before I passed out from the pain.
