Chapter 7
I flinched when Annabeth wrapped a bandage around my head, she didn't say anything during the whole process. I guess, she still afraid after Kronos called me, I didn't even understand by what he meant when he said he got me. I closed my eyes slowly and tried to calm my heart beat, it still went wild after that scene. We took a rest after we flee from Tartarus entrance, and Annabeth decided to take a little rest and then she took care of my head wound. She said it's not that bad, but she afraid that I might have concussion and I cannot take anymore Ambrosia or Nectar.
"Reiner"
I opened my eyes and saw Annabeth looked at me with worried looks "What?" I asked.
"Why?" she asked and lowered her head "Why HE called you?"
I only sighed and shook my head "I don't know" I admit I also confused, why didn't he drag me down to Tartarus after he called me, why he let me go? And what he mean by 'I got you'.
Percy crouched in front of me "Can you walk?" Percy asked me.
I nodded as I pushed myself up "Yeah" I took a glanced at Percy "Why aren't you ask me anything about what just happened?" I asked clearly curious with Percy attitude.
Percy stopped and he turned to face me "I believe you Reiner" he stated.
I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat, guilt started to eat me slowly. And here I am, still lying to Percy when he believe me completely. I lowered my head and bit my bottom lips hard, hard enough to draw blood. I wanted to tell him everything, but I'm afraid my action will affect the whole story and the consequences, The Fates already warned me, that every action I took there will be consequences.
"I don't know" I said suddenly, even though my head screamed at me to shut the hell up "I mean, I'm just…" I hesitated a bit "Apollo son, why the hell Kronos want me"
Annabeth sent me death glare when I said 'Kronos' "Don't say his name in here please"
Percy sighed, he already knew that Hades claimed me too, but he didn't say anything when I only said Apollo. Grover fidgeted right next to me as his eye darted around, like expecting Kronos would pop out from out of nowhere.
"Maybe you have something special" Grover said "Beside, you are different Reiner. Different from other demigod that I know"
I mentally flinched when Grover said that, of course I'm different. I'm not from here, I'm originally from other world, and your world only a story in a book written by Rick Riordan. And I already read all of your story, and honestly, I like it. I only let a sheepish laugh and shook my head.
"I'm nothing special Grover. I'm just some Apollo kid with foul mouth and bad attitude. What's so special about it" I pointed at Percy who walked in front "He is special, since he is Poseidon kid"
Annabeth gave me weird looks "So you admit that you have problem with your mouth and attitude"
I gave Annabeth dirty glare "You don't have repeat it Wise Girl"
Annabeth stopped and her eyes went wide "How…?" she speed up and grabbed my shoulder, forcing me to face her "How did you know?" she asked, more like demand "How did you know that nick name?"
I froze in place and mentally kicked myself, for once again opening my big damn mouth. I started to sweat bullet and couldn't form a single sentences.
"Uh, the truth is…" my eyes darted to Percy who suddenly took a great interest at a piece of rock near his shoe.
Annabeth gripped went tighter "Reiner…" she growled.
Percy completely ignored me and he took a new interest at his shoe. What a great friend you are Perce, I grumbled mentally.
"Your mother" I blurted out and now Percy finally look up, eyes full with interest and curiosity "Your mother is the goddess of wisdom and war strategy. That's the only thing that popped up on my mind" I said quickly.
"Just…" Annabeth loosened her gripped on my shoulder "Don't call me that, I already have one idiot called me that, and I don't want another idiot to call me that"
"Hey! Are you just call me idiot?!" Percy and I shouted together.
Annabeth just shrugged her shoulder as she turned around and continue to walk towards Hades palace.
For the first time in my life I just realized that I had a pair of cool shoe and I wore it right now. It had white color with dark blue and dark red streak on it, I frowned when I realized that dirt and mud already stained it. I'm going to wash it until it sparkle when I'm back at home, speaking of home, I missed my mom homemade cookies and chocolate cake. Those thing are pure heaven, and I never get enough of it.
"Reiner" a deep masculine voice called me.
I flinched and quickly snapped my head up, Hades eyes looking straight at my own blue eyes. I sent him sheepish smiled, because I just totally tuned out his conversation with Percy. Well, I have a good reason for that, Hades and Percy totally ignored me as they 'negotiate' at each other, more like spewing insult and death threat, from Hades to Percy. Zeus master bolt illuminating the room and I could smell ozone from it. Well, I always wanted to try use Zeus master bolt, the real one, not the fake one that I used when I was a kid, pretending to zap my parent. I quickly chased that thought away when Hades still eyeing me instead of the bolt.
"I'm glad you came son" he said and smirked evilly "I never thought that you will come and find me first"
I quickly took a stepped back and my eyes went wide instantly. Annabeth and Grover jaw dropped on the ground and their eyes went wide as far as they can, Percy put his best poker face while his eyes constantly darted from me to Hades himself. What should I do? If I say yes, is that mean I broke the oath? I didn't want to pay the price just because one god couldn't keep his damn mouth shut, but then again, I'm not the one who told them that Hades claimed me, Hades admit it himself, did that count? I quickly shook my head, who cares about that right now, I had to say something or this will be more awkward, beside I won't confirm it, I will deny it. THAT'S a good way.
"I'm not your son!" I hissed.
Hades eyes narrowed dangerously as it glinted with anger and a bit of craziness "I own you Reiner!" he spat "I own your soul since you were a baby, no since you in your mother womb!"
I blinked at this, the fuck just happened?! Why Hades suddenly become so possessive at me?! It's so fucking creepy and scare the crap out of me?! I never knew him in the first place, well, I knew him from the Wikipedia, books, movie and such, but I never knew him in person, wait a minute, that's sound wrong. Let me try again, I never knew him in the flesh, wait a minute. Did god had a flesh, I mean, they are a being in a very bright light or supernova form that can burn people eyes out right, so how did they can appear human? Hold your horses Reiner! Your ADHD took over again and that stuff not important, you know what important, Hades claim he OWNED you, yeah FUCKING owned you, maybe you should ask an ownership certificate or something for him, instead of wondering how they can appear human. Rick already explained that in the book, so they can associate with human and mate with them, to create demigod. I mentally slapped myself for my ADHD and my fucking distracted brain, why if I'm in danger, my brain always started to think no sense at all?!
"You don't own me!" I spat back.
Hades glared at me and I wanted to cower in fear in the corner, or hug a skeleton right now. Then he began to laugh, and the laugh chill me to the core. I never wanted to make him laugh anymore, just one laugh enough for me, I didn't want to have any nightmare with his laugh.
"Right, you still didn't know anything" he said in amused tone "Because your father was a coward and made us promise to not to tell you the whole truth"
My eyes twitched slightly when Hades insulted Apollo, he should buy a mirror and looked at his own reflection. What kind of god, from big three nonetheless, kidnapped a 12 years old mother just for a bargain, and get his symbol of power stolen, and he dared to insult Apollo coward! Well Hades, flash news, you are stupid and arrogant!
"Percy" Hades suddenly turned to Percy.
Percy slowly faced Hades after he heard our banter "Yes, uncle?" he said politely, or trying to sound polite.
"I want to add more chips into the table" Hades smirked "You can take your mother if you leave Reiner in here"
Percy eyes instantly went wide "But, the master bolt…"
"Of course you have to leave it here boy, until you return my helmet of darkness" Hades spat "But if you leave Reiner in here, I can instantly return your mother right now. Even though you only have three pearls, but I can send your mother to the living world"
I took a quick glanced on Percy "Percy…"
"Don't!" he spat at me "I won't leave you to rot in here"
"Percy! Get real! You only got three pearl! Which is one of you have to stay here, and…" I swallowed hard "I want you to get back, get the bolt back to Zeus"
Percy eyeing me "But…"
"Ares" I blurted out, didn't care the consequences when I said that too fast "He's the one who trick us, we got that bag from him right" I glared at Hades "I bet he got your helmet of darkness too"
"Why? Why Ares did all of this?" Annabeth decided to speak.
"He's the god of freaking war" I stated "Imagine if the big three started a war among themselves"
"And" this time I turned to Hades "Percy is not the culprit. He didn't know anything about you when your symbol of power was stolen, I'm with him all his life and I can vouch for that. When Poseidon claimed him, it's was after your symbol of power got stolen. So, why a Seaweed Brain like Percy can steal god symbol of power when he cannot even steal money from his stepdad, and his stepdad is a big idiot with capital I" I explained.
Hades look pissed, probably because I put his intelligence level at the same level as Percy stepdad, which is pretty low for a normal human.
"You look smarter that you let on, son" Hades said and I could see a hint of proud on his eyes.
"I want to make a deal" I said suddenly and Percy quickly grabbed my arm, prevented me to talk.
"Let me go now and I'll get your helmet of Darkness back. If I get it back, you will let me go, give Percy the master bolt and gave Percy mom back" I said "If I fail you must return the bolt, if you want to, but you have to let Percy mom go" I raised my hand when Hades wanted to interrupt "And I'll stay here and do whatever you want me to do, I swear on the River Styx" I smirked at him and tapped my head "I know a lot of things that can help you and your condition, without the master bolt. I even can make you the king of the gods" then I narrowed my eyes at the god of the underworld "And you better be swear in the name of River Styx too, I don't want you to double cross me"
Grudgingly Hades muttered his words and sealed it with River Styx name too, thunder clapped somewhere and I could fell Percy, Annabeth and Grover eyes on me. They must be think I'm crazy to seal a deal with Hades, and sealed it with River Styx, which is mean I had to fulfill it if I failed to get Hades symbol of power back, which is again, dethrone Zeus and made him the king of the gods. Hades pondered my offer for a moment before stood up and walked to me, he put his large hand on my head and smirked.
"I like your deal, son" he said and turned to face Percy "I like his much better"
"Reiner!" Percy yelled at me "How could you?!"
I sent him a small smile "You have to return to the camp safely Perce, you are the hero, not me. The world need you not me"
Percy opened his mouth and he closed it again, tears pricked on the corner of his eyes "Damn you!" he yelled "You always take dangerous action without my consent! Why?!"
I laughed at his words "We are best friends Perce, and your safety is my first priority"
"Enough!" Hades barked and I flinched when his sound reached my ear "You better be ready with your friend Perseus, because I'll teleport my son to the surface"
Percy took the pearls and gave each one to Annabeth and Grover, they looked at each other before nodded. They threw the Pearls to the ground and crush it with their feet, bright light started to surround them as the shot up into the ceilings. When they gone, Hades started to chant in some ancient language and the shadow started to consume me. When Hades removed his hand from the top of my head he sent me his final smile.
"I'll wait for you son"
I gasped loudly when suddenly I felt something wet touched me, I quickly looked around and found out that I ended up in the shore. I looked around with confused looks, did Hades just shadow traveled me here? When I tried to sit up, I felt nausea and wanted to throw up whatever inside my stomach. I groaned as I massaged my forehead, never asked Hades to teleport me again, in fact never asked a god to teleport me anywhere, since that kind of thing is pretty bad for my health.
"Reiner?"
I turned around lazily and found Percy wet from head to toe and bare feet, I raised both of my eye brows at him, clearly confused. Percy quickly explained to me that he will himself to be wet, and he gave his shoe to Grover because Grover lost his shoe in Underworld. Percy helped me up and he examined me from head to toe, and he proceed to punch me square in the face.
"The fuck?!" I hissed in anger as I clutched my throbbing cheek.
Percy fist clenched in anger "That's my line you ass! How could you do this to me?! I never wanted that!"
I grabbed his collar and pulled him closer "What will you do huh? Clearly only three of us can escape that place, and there's no way I'll let three of you stay. The prophecy said you will survive"
Percy pushed me back "What's the point of that huh?! What's the point of all of that?!"
"You will be a hero and prevent the war among the god! And saving the world! That thing clearly more important than me! You can just sacrifice one life for the goods of many" I yelled at him.
"I don't want to lose you!" he yelled at me and he looked down "For me you are more important than anything, I don't want to lose you"
My eyes softened at his words, I always forgot that Percy fatal flaw is loyalty and he willing to destroy the world only to save people who close to him.
"Percy" I called his name softly "I'll be fine, together we will take Hades helmet of Darkness back"
"Aw, why are you stop fighting" a male voice whined.
I growled and turned around, only to find Ares leaned back on his motorcycle and wore his smug smirk. Ares than put something on the seat, a helmet.
"Hades symbol of power" I stated and eyeing the helmet.
"You right" he grinned and the helmet started to change into the original form.
"You cheeky son of a bitch" I said coldly "You tricked us didn't you. The bolt are with us all the time and you just make us as delivery boy to Hades himself" then I laughed loudly "Figure, you are a coward. Too coward to deliver the bolt itself"
Ares eyes glowed brightly behind his sunglasses "Watch your tongue boy"
"Then why?" I challenged him "Why not hand deliver the bolt itself to Hades. Why using Percy?"
"Because if I'm the one who deliver it, then the god will be kick my ass, and there will be no war. But why not using Poseidon brat to deliver it, it clearly will cause war. Poseidon brat hand deliver the bolt to Hades, Zeus must be piss because of that" Ares explained as he removed his sunglasses.
I quickly tapped one of my bracelet and a sword quickly appeared on my hand. Ares only laughed at me as he drew his own sword, and it's huge, almost as tall as me. On my side Percy already gripped Anaklusmos hilt and readied to kick Ares ass. Ares and Percy charged at the same time and their sword collided, using that momentum I lunged at Ares and swiped my sword at his knee.
"Two versus one eh?" Ares said as he jumped back and created distance between us "Not a fair fight I must say, especially for you Reiner. Aren't you the one who said that?"
"I know" I said and twirled my sword "But, this time is different. We against a god, and a god of war himself. So, I guess it's fair to fight you like this" I eyeing him "Also, aren't you like a challenge?"
Ares let out a laugh "Hah, I like your attitude boy. But that doesn't get you anywhere"
Ares charged at me and he's aiming for my head, more like trying to separate my head from my body. I quickly raised my own sword and our sword collided, I flinched at that, Ares strength are like a bull! Percy came from his left side and swiped his sword, Ares clicked his tongue as he kicked me in the ribs and quickly swung his sword at Percy direction. I flew back and landed on the sand, I coughed a little as I rested my head on the sand for a moment. But, another voice brought me back to my sense. A cop, lots of them gathered near the beach, and they began to speak the usual speech, you know the drill. Ares growled in anger as he swiped his hand towards the cops, fire wall blasted near the cops and the cops quickly hurried themselves to the safety, meaning away from their charred car and the fight. I quickly pushed myself up and just in time to saw Percy landed on the sand hard. I sighed and lunged towards Ares, we exchanged a few blow, Ares always aimed for my neck, why he's so keen into beheading me? Perhaps he wanted to present my head to Aphrodite? Our sword collided and I grunted as Ares pushed the sword to my face, I pushed the sword back and kicked Ares on the knee. Ares got distracted for a moment and I managed to push him away, using that momentum, I tapped my other bracelet and another sword appeared on my left hand.
"I almost forgot that you are a dual wielder" Ares said.
He charged at me and I blocked his sword with both of my own. Percy attacked Ares when he still busy with me, and Ares barely dodge Percy sword. He growled under his breath as he assessed me and Percy carefully, he knew that he's at disadvantage, but I knew he had something under his sleeve after all he is a god, God of War to be exact. Ares took a step back and he charged at Percy, but he quickly turned to face me when he near Percy, I who didn't expect it at all, quickly blocked Ares attack, but I was too late, the tip of his sword grazed my shoulder blade and ended up on my right shoulder. I cried out in pain and dropped one of my sword, clutched my right shoulder with my left hand, using that momentum Ares spun around and kicked me on the head, yeah, my injured head. He sent me back into the shore and I landed hard on the wet sand, my head throbbing painfully and I'm sure he just gave me another concussion. I heard Percy screamed in anger as he attacked Ares repeatedly, Percy ducked and avoided Ares sword which just an inch from his head. Percy twisted his body and swiped his feet into Ares feet, Ares predicted this and he jumped back. Percy panted hard as he wiped his sweat from his forehead, he examined Ares and tried his best to find his weak point. Slowly I pushed myself up and ignored the pain that came from both my head and shoulder, I need to help Percy, even though I knew Percy will manage to injure him and won, but still who knows this time. I walked slowly towards Percy and put my hand on his shoulder, Percy turned to me and gave me worried looks.
"Just rest" he said.
"No, I still can fight" I said determinedly "I'll help you"
"Enough with the pep talk!" Ares spat "I'm bored to my death here!"
I picked up my other sword and began to circle Ares, Ares who clearly didn't know my true intention, he followed my action. When his back perfectly face the ocean I rushed towards him, I swung one of my sword towards his stomach and Ares quickly took a step back, narrowly dodged my attack. Then I continued to attack him with my other sword, Ares growled at me when I attacked him relentlessly, I'm not going to give him a room to breathe, I had to push him towards the ocean so Percy can do his trick. Ares who got fed up with me, swung his sword down on me, I blocked it with my swords, my arms trembled when Ares sword collided with my own.
"Not so tough eh?" Ares mocked me.
I sent a quick glance to Percy and thanks god he understand what I mean right now, thank god that his brain decided to work this time. I quickly took a step back, caught Ares in surprise, I pulled both my sword and Ares sword only an inch towards my nose, when Ares lose his balance, I spun around and kicked him on his stomach. Ares grunted when my foot collided with his stomach and he landed ass first on the shore. He growled angrily at me and I only sent him smug looks.
"If I were you, I'll duck" I said and sent him mischievous smirk.
Ares quickly turned around only to be douse with sea water, lots of them. Ares spluttered and cursed like there's no tomorrow, completely oblivious that Percy and I charged at him from behind. Percy stabbed Ares on his heel while I made a cut on his upper right arm. Ares screamed in pain as he dropped his sword on the sand. His gold blood, ichor, dripped from his wound and tainted the sea water and the sand bellow him. His red eyes blazing with anger and he readied to smite me and Percy. But he stopped when he heard a loud thunder came from the sky, his face went pale for a moment before he clicked his tongue in distaste.
"You got lucky this time brat" he said in anger "Next time I'll make sure to kill all of you"
After that he rode his motorcycle and drove into the road, he left Hades helmet of darkness in the sand, maybe he just didn't care anymore or maybe his plan are already failed since he opened his big mouth and spilled all of his plan for Zeus to hear. I walked towards the helmet, picked it up and walked to the shore.
"Mrs. Dodd, I knew you there" I yelled "I got your master Helmet of Darkness!"
Mrs. Dodd appeared and almost gave Percy heart attack "So you can get it back huh" she said.
I tossed the helmet towards her "Just make sure Hades fulfill his deal, after all I already make him swore on river Styx"
"Certainly, young master" Mrs. Dodd said as she flew away from us.
I only sighed heavily as I faced Annabeth and Grover, they must be curious with all of this. Especially Annabeth who gave me hurt looks.
"How could you?" she asked me as she walked towards me "How could you lie to me?!" she slapped me hard, man she can slap hard.
Percy quickly wrapped his arm around Annabeth as he pulled Annabeth away from me, preventing her to inflict more harm to me "Annabeth! He has his own reason!"
"I'm you friend, for god sake Reiner!" she yelled at me "Why didn't you tell me?!"
"Because I didn't want anything to do with him" I answered calmly as I rubbed my sore cheek "I never wanted him as my father"
"Did Chiron knew?" Annabeth asked again.
"He and Mr. D knew" I answered "But, they made me swore that I never tell anyone about this, but since Hades already told you all, what can I do?" I shrugged my shoulder.
Annabeth took a deep breath and finally calmed herself down "So, that's why Kronos wanted you. That's why he said those words to you back when we near Tartarus"
I looked away from her "Maybe" I said uncertainly "Maybe yes, or not. I'm not sure Annabeth, I mean. I don't even know who my real father is, is what Apollo claimed is true or he just lying to me? Am I even his son to begin with?"
"I-I'm sure you are Apollo son" Grover decided to speak "I mean Hades already confirmed it yes? He said that Apollo is your real father and Hades just claimed you or whatever it is"
I turned to Grover and gave him small smile "Thank you Grover"
Then suddenly Annabeth just realized that Percy hugged her from behind, Annabeth squeaked cutely and her face went deep red. She began to stutter to Percy, asked him to let her go. Percy slowly let her go and his face also went red, from embarrassment.
"Aw, you both look cute together" I cooed.
"Shut up Rei-chan!" they said together and glared at me.
I wanted to kiss the ground as soon as I put my feet on the ground. I should object when Percy forcefully dragged me towards the airport and basically coerced me into riding a plane, yeah a fucking plane. He said we will be okay, since he had Zeus Master Bolt and there's no way Zeus would shoot them into the ground. But, why there's something missing, like my mind won't stop tugging me, looks like I missed something. That's when I saw a woman wore a scarf.
"Holy Shit!" I exclaimed and earned a smack from Annabeth.
"What?!" even Percy started to panic "Did we miss something?!"
I turned to face Percy with dejected face "I completely forgot Aphrodite scarf"
Percy quickly changed his expression into poker face as he look at me "Idiot"
"Hey! It's not my fault, a lot of shit happened and that scarf just slipped my mind!" I protested.
I only grumbled as I walked into the arrival gate, my mind started to make a lot of excuse that I can use to Aphrodite, an excused why I didn't return her scarf back. I kept walking and didn't realize a person came into my view, I bumped into that person and I quickly apologized.
"Aw, you don't have to apologize"
My body went rigid as I gulped down slowly, I must be imagine things, because now way this person in front of me is Aphrodite, no fucking way. I braced myself and slowly looking up at the person in front of me. Yep, she's Aphrodite all right, and she wore her scarf around her neck….wait, what? My eyes went wide at the sight of the scarf and without I realized my jaw slacked open.
"How…?" that's the only thing that escape my mouth.
She giggled at me as he ruffled my hair "I found it on my doorstep" she giggled again "Thank you for returning it, and this is your gift"
She bend down and gave me a peck, on my cheek. My face flushed instantly and my heart almost escape from my chest.
"I want to steal your first kiss, but…" she trailed of as she put her perfect finger near her lips "…I'll just wait until you turn 18. Can't wait what you look like, hotshot"
And with that she walked away from me, I just stood there with dumb look on my face. My mind officially fried and I cannot push the image of me and Aphrodite kissing each other, that's kinda…creepy and….honestly, I'm curious myself. A slap on the back of my head enough to get my attention back, I turned and found Annabeth glaring dagger at me. Her mouth formed a scowled and she growled at me.
"Don't let her charm you again" she hissed.
"Is not like I want her to charm me" I said with distant voice and my finger brushed the spot where Aphrodite just kissed me "Wow, is it what feels like to those men who feel in love with her?"
Annabeth smacked me harder "Idiot! Why are men an idiot?!"
"Hey! Try to put yourself on my shoe" I pouted "I'm a man and she's the goddess of love, of course she can easily charm me. Well, if you charmed by her, that's mean…."
"Finish that thought and I'll slit your throat" Annabeth growled at me.
"Anyway" Percy quickly interrupted "We have to be quick, we don't have much time"
With that four of us quickly stop a taxi and asked the driver to drive us towards the Empire State buildings. Along the way my mind wondered, what will happened if I suddenly appeared in front of Zeus and Poseidon. They clearly aware that Hades also claimed me, which mean I also part of the big three and a threat towards Zeus, and Zeus is a major paranoia. He should see a therapist right away, seriously, how could he live with paranoia like that? I looked up at the sky, thunder cloud still hang on the cloud, threatened to zap everyone who piss Zeus off, and I might be on the list. With me and my tendency to bad mouthing god, worse insulting them.
"We are here" Percy announced and my heart race increased.
We stepped into the lobby and my mind started to wander off, I even didn't heard Percy threatened the guard to let us in and let us ride the elevator to 600 floor. Next thing I knew is, Grover held my hand and dragged me towards the elevator door. The door closed and I started to hear some song, maybe from the seventies or eighties? I didn't care about the song, I only care about my own life right now. Maybe I should waited outside the throne room? I flinched when the door opened and I saw Olympus spread before my eyes, it's quite breathtaking. And how could they built this on the sky, that's just impossible for normal human eyes. We walked towards the throne room with fast pace, Percy clearly didn't want to waste any more time. He pushed the front door opened and we stepped in, Annabeth and Grover decided to wait for me and Percy outside, since they didn't want to meet the god. Zeus and Poseidon sat on their throne, they still use their original size. Their eyes trained on us, and I did my best to stare at the floor.
"Hello my son" Posideon said in calming tone while he watched Percy, then his eyes trailed into me.
"Just give me my bolt" Zeus grumbled as he stood up and extended his hand.
Percy carefully put the bolt on the floor, the master bolt automatically flew into Zeus hand. Thunder clapped somewhere as Zeus clutched his symbol of power. Then Percy started to tell the whole story, including my sudden arrival and Ares. I just hoped, Percy skipped the part when Kronos called me, because if he told them that, well, I have to kiss my life good bye. I fidgeted under Poseidon and Zeus stare, while Percy already finish his story. And they began to argue, about why Ares did this, why he stole Zeus symbol of power. I for instance already knew the answer, first, Luke is the one who stole Hades and Zeus symbol of power, second, Ares managed to catch him, but Luke managed to convince Ares to hold both of them, and the third, Kronos somehow managed to manipulate Ares. Well, that's the simple version, if you want the longer one, just read the book again.
"And how about that brat over there"
I instantly flinched and looked up, looks like I missed a lot of things while I lost on my own thought. Zeus glared at me while Poseidon only looked at me with indifferent expression. I started to sweat bullet and shaking.
"I…I…" I couldn't speak properly.
"Brother he is clearly Apollo son" Poseidon said to Zeus "After all Perseus already explained that part"
"I didn't saw Apollo in him" Zeus grunted as h eyeing me from head to toe "More like the mix between Hades and Apollo"
I suddenly imagine that Hades and Apollo decided to have a son, and I quickly pushed that image away into the forbidden section of my mind. That's so inappropriate, and seriously Reiner?! You are in front of the gods and suddenly think about that kind of stuff?
"Didn't he already pledge his loyalty towards us?" Poseidon reminded Zeus.
"But, still. His ability is dangerous, no, his whole being is dangerous" Zeus stated and I felt an imaginary arrow stabbed my heart "It's better if we get rid of him now, before he decided to betray us"
"No!" I quickly yelled out of the blue "That's not fair!"
Zeus glared dagger at me "You dare to talk fair to me boy?!"
I clenched my fist "I never ask any of this!" I glared at my shoe "I-I-"
Zeus scowled at me "What?! I don't have much time in here boy!"
I looked up slowly and shook my head "I just want to live normally. I never asked to be a part of this world. I just-" the image of my previous life flooded my mind, my life before all of this "Never mind" I finished and blinked my eyes, tried to get rid of tears that threatened to spill.
Damn it, crying in front of god, this is not cool at all. I almost said, I just wanted my old life back, I wanted to go back to my original world and get married with Clara my fiancé. But, that only made me sound delusional and crazy, and who will believe me that this is my second chance of living.
"Whatever" Zeus said in gruff tone "Just remember, if you dare to betray us, I won't hesitate to incarnate you on spot. Is that clear?"
"Yes, sir" I mumbled and Zeus disappeared in a flash of thunder.
I flinched when I heard the thunder so close to me, I practically could smelt ozone on the surround me. I looked up and saw Poseidon still sat on his throne, he watched me and Percy carefully, before he decided to stand up and shrunk to his human size. He walked towards Percy and they began to talk, about family and such. Feeling a bit left out, I took a couple step back and completely tuned out their conversation. My mind wondered to Hades, did he really release Percy mother after all of this, well he better be since he already swore it on River Styx.
"….I wanted to talk to your friend, alone"
Again I felt stupid for completely tuning out their conversation (it's not my fault, the writer just too lazy to write the whole thing). Percy looked at me for a moment, hesitating a bit, before he walked out from the throne room. I just stood there like an idiot while Poseidon walked towards me, he stood there while his hand gripping his trident. He's not going to stab me with those thing, isn't he?
"I appreciate what you have done to my son" he said "You already save his life many times"
"I don't mind it at all" I said and tried my best to look at him in the eye "I mean, he is my best friend. His safety is my priority"
"But, that doesn't mean I trust you completely" Poseidon said and his eyes narrowed a bit "I only on your side, just because my son trusted you completely. Break that trust and I won't hesitate to smite you on the spot."
I gulped nervously "Yes, sir"
"I'm on the neutral side" he said again "I want to watch you grow, and then after that I'll decide to kill you or support you. And one again" he took a step closer into me "l like your attitude" with a wink he dissolved into sea water, and didn't forget to splash me with some.
I blinked at this, my front shirt is wet and also my face. I felt something dangling on my head, I took the thing and realized the thing is sea weed. So Poseidon basically just threatened me and praised me, which is very confusing. Why the god are so fucking confusing, can't they pick one personalities and stayed like that?! I grumbled as I turned around and walked towards Percy, Annabeth and Grover who had a heated argument. They stopped arguing and gave me confused looks, at my half wet form, with seaweed on my head.
"Is that…?" Percy began to ask, and I cut him.
"A gift from you father" I said sarcastically and rolled my eyes "Let just go back, I missed my bed and really need to take a shower.
Me : And cut! Okay, thank you everybody. You can rest now and I'll call you on the next chapter! Good work guys!
