The Counsel of the Gods.
Annabeth ran up to Steven and Percy, who were eating lunch together after a touch morning of sword training, saying
"Percy, Steven, Chiron want's us three to come with him and Mr. D to see a counsel of the gods, it's an emergency meeting or it wouldn't be called" Percy was taken aback at this, replying with "Why do they want to bring us three?"
"Because, Percy, the three main gods it concerns are Artemis, Athena and Poseidon, and since they need Steven over there I think it concerns her hunt"
"Wait what? mum's in trouble?" Steven burst out, wising he could his thoughts. Annabeth nodded and the three ran to the big house where Chiron and Mr. D were waiting.
"OK, not that you three are here, we can head off, let us go." Chiron said calmly. The trip to Olympus was very quick, as they were traveling with a god. when they arrived the discussions had already started, with Demeter shouting something at Ares, while he waved his axe and yelled at Aphrodite who was throwing death glares to Hephaestus.
"EVERYBODY CALM DOWN" Zeus' powerful voice boomed through the hall and rumbled the mountain. "Now, lets hear everybody's side to the story, lets start with Artemis, now start"
"My group or hunters and I we're hunting in the woods, to the very East, we found footprints leading away from where Atlas holds the sky, whilst I had my hunters stay there, I went to his mountain, when i got there, a guy called John Cena was a mortal man, with the strength of Ares and the brains of a well, a Ares." Percy and Annabeth snickered when this was said, making Ares glare at the both of them "I ran back to the hunt, I was going to round them up to hunt Atlas and put him back at the mountain to hold up the sky, but my hunt was gone, and two of them have been killed, their names were Natale Wintershield and Thalia Grace." Zeus' face turned dark at the mention of his Daughter's name
"Poseidon, you're side of the story please"
"Well, I was wandering the seas, wondering what place should have a flash flood, and what place should get and Earthquake when Oceanus rushed from nowhere, I tried to stop him but he was too fast, he is the one of the last titans wondering the Earth, and i'm worried that they are going to try to band together and raise Gaia to destroy us all."
"OK, OK, Athena, you're the last one who was affected, what happened to you?"
"Well, I was visiting a mortal who requested my guidance, she was a brave lady, when of no where Atlas killed her and tried to kill me, I had to turn into an Owl and fly away. I followed Atlas, as I knew where he should've been, he picked up Artemis' girls shortly after, killing the two guards and imprisoning the rest. He continued south when this meeting was called, he seemed to be in Texas when the meeting was called and Zeus threatened to kill anyone who didn't show up."
"Yeah, I did say that didn't I, we will take a 5 minute brake, after which we shall have a vote on what to do."
The Gods and Goddess broke with Artemis heading straight for Steven, taking him away from the crowd.
"Listen to me Steven, I don't care if this vote passes or fail I will be looking for my hunters if anything happens to me I need you to stay at camp half blood, the other Olympians will find me, and I mean it, don't rescue me if i get into trouble." Steven nodded half-hardheartedly, Artemis could see that if she did get in trouble he would try to rescue her, she just hoped he would not. After the 5 minutes were up the gods and goddesses went back to their thrones, with Zeus telling them "We must have a majority vote to do anything, so if it comes to 6 votes for and 6 votes against trying to rescue the hunt and putting those two pesky titans back where the belong, the vote will come down to Hestia; I vote against, Poseidon?""My vote is for, Ares?"
"I'm all for it, since the chances of death are high, it's sounds great, Apollo?"
"I personally am against it, just me, Hephaestus?"
"Against, cause well, I don't want to be making armor for all of you when your armor shatters in battle, Hermes?"
"I vote for, cause, well, it needs to happen, Dionysus?"
"Against, cause it will be my campers who have to help, Hera?"
"Against, cause well, I hate war where I can't kill demi-gods, Demeter?"
"My vote is against, cause I grow plants, not fight wars Athena?"
"For, as if we don't round up the titans they will grow and destroy us all, Artemis?"
"My vote is of course for, we need to save my hunters, Aphrodite?"
"Against, cause it will ruin my manicure" Zeus then boomed out
"The vote is tied, Hestia, it all comes down to you, decide the vote"
"My vote would have to be against, cause in my opinion, war breaks families, and unless we all agree to go to battle we shouldn't risk unnecessary loss of life" Artemis looked at Steven and gave a discreet nod, whilst Zeus boomed out, again
"The vote has been won, we shall not go to battle, we will hold another counsel and vote in 1 month, depending on the situation, if the hunt is freed, we will not, if it's not, another vote."
After the meeting was finished Artemis ran out, distressed about her girls, she dissipated off of Olympus, to who knows where, Steven, Percy and Annabeth were taken back to camp half blood, where they were told to not mention the meeting and be careful.
That's another chapter set and done, now I know these chapters are quite short, but after my next big thing happens, they should grow, remember this will get a double update at 500 views, or i'll just get sick of waiting and do a single update, but if you want it to happen quickly, share it around, and please, for feck's sake, REVIEW.
