Heh… It's been awhile since I last updated…
Eclipse P.O.V
I hesitated, before sighing. Slowly, I reached up and removed my mask…
The entire throne room was encased in silence. Okay, that wasn't the best way to describe it… How about, 'it was really quiet'? Hmm… Simple, I like it.
Anyways, it was really quiet.
And then, laughter.
Hermes and Apollo had started laughing, and I grinned. At least they still have a sense of humor.
Zeus looked absolutely outraged. He was probably thinking, 'How dare this puny creature in front of me joke around at a time like this!'
Heh…
I understand if you're a little bit confused. Maybe you're thinking, 'Why are they laughing when you've just revealed yourself?', or 'I didn't hear any joke…'
You see, they still can't see my face.
I forgot to mention to everyone, I was wearing two masks. Hilarious, right?
I should probably get back to the throne room.
Well, after surveying everything, the funniest things I saw were: Zeus's tomato red face, Artemis trying to shoot me with an arrow, but failing horribly due to the fact that her arm was hanging limply at her side. Oh yeah, there was also a crying Poseidon.
Hey, this normally wouldn't amuse me, but these are the same people, gods, whatever, that tried to kill me. I may have forgiven them, but that doesn't mean I'm not a little bit angry. I mean, if you were me, wouldn't you want just a little revenge?
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?" Zeus bellowed. I'm seriously beginning to wonder if he actually doesn't know how to speak normally…
"I COMMAND YOU TO REMOVE YOUR MASK!" Zeus yelled, much too loudly.
"Zeus, use your inside voice." I said, after removing my hands from my ears.
Zeus's face was contorted with rage, no one has ever been THIS disrespectful to the king of Olympus. I smirked, I love setting records.
"Aphrodite!" Said goddess's head snapped up, looking at Zeus, who had, of course, yelled her name.
"Yes?" She said, an annoyed expression flickering across her beautiful face. I'm not going to deny it, as a male, I find her extremely attractive.
"Your daughter! The special one. She's at the Roman camp, then? Bring her here!" Zeus ordered.
"Huh, oh… Oh yeah." Aphrodite said, vanishing in puff of pink, reappearing with Piper, who looked confused, until she saw us.
Piper's eyes narrowed menacingly, she obviously thought we were some kind of monsters.
"Who are they, mother?" Piper asked, spitting the word 'mother', as if it were some kind of insult. I smirked, she still doesn't get along with Aphrodite. Same old Piper.
"We don't know who they are. That's why we'd like you to 'convince' them to reveal themselves." Aphrodite explained.
Piper sighed, as if she had to do this often. Putting on a sweet smile, she said, "Won't you please tell me who you are?" She asked, lacing her words with charmspeak and batting her eyelashes.
I chuckled. "Sorry, charmspeak won't work. We've been trained to resist it. Nice try, though, Piper." I laughed inwardly as she froze.
"Oh yeah. I know quite a bit about you, Piper Mclean. Your father is the movie star, Tristan Mclean. You're dating the son of Jupiter, Jason Grace. You were one of the seven in the war against Gaea. You were present when Perseus Jackson was murdered." I spat, I could feel my smile forming at the look of horror on Piper's face once I mentioned myself.
"QUIET!" Zeus- of course- yelled, "You know nothing of that! You were not there!"
I shrugged.
"I know more about it then you think I do." I said.
I turned to Athena, "Hey, how's Annabeth been doing since her boyfriend died?" I asked, emphasizing the name of my ex-girlfriend.
Athena remained calm, although her eyes did narrow. She gave me what was probably her best death glare. The old me would've probably wet himself. The current me, however, didn't even flinch.
"Leave my daughter out of this." She said quietly, threateningly.
I shrugged, again. "I simply wanted to know how she's doing."
She didn't answer, although her face did began to show signs of anger.
"ENOUGH!" Zeus roared. I sighed. He did it again. "You were about to die for disrespecting me, Lord Zeus, king of Olympus."
He raised his master bolt, aiming it at me. I suddenly had a feeling of déjà vu. He pulled his arm back, and threw the bolt at me. It flew straight toward me. I simply stood still. I mean, it's not like the bolt could actually kill me right now anyway.
Seconds before the bolt would've hit me, it stopped. Someone had caught it.
I looked over to see the person or god attached to the hand that caught the bolt. I smiled, seeing the beautiful woman clad in a silver chiton. I kneeled before her, bowing my head in respect. I saw my friends do the same around me. "Lady Selene." I said.
She returned the smile, before turning back to Zeus, who was now staring at her the way a dog might stare at a piece of meat. She frowned, before addressing the Olympians, "I am Selene, and I'd like to ask, why do you attack my commander?"
Zeus, hearing her speak, stopped staring at her so hungrily. "He disrespected me." He answered, sending me a glare, which I happily returned.
"He does not have to respect you. You have done nothing to earn it, so why should he show it?" I smirked at Lady Selene's words.
Zeus seemed like he wanted to yell, but held his tongue.
Lady Selene nodded, evidently satisfied with his choice not to speak.
"Good." She said, "Now, they- she gestured to Spark, Crescent, Jinx, Forge, Hotshot, and myself- were sent here to aid you in the upcoming war."
I heard someone -Ares- sneer, "How are six people going to help us defeat a monster army of thousands?" Ares asked?
Lady Selene smirked, "These six could defeat your entire council. A hundred more soldiers will also be arriving sometime within the next few hours. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go."
She was about to flash out, when Athena, who had previously had a thoughtful look on her face, suddenly yelled, "Selene, the old moon goddess!"
Lady Selene smirked, once again, before flashing out.
Once Lady Selene was gone, the rest of the gods' heads turned to me.
"Well." I said, "We're going to head to Camp Half-blood now." I said gesturing to my friends.
Athena began to ask a question, "But wh-"
That's all I heard before misting us to ca
