Chapter 9
Apollo felt like he was carrying the sky. His arms were sore and his head was light.
Around him were obsidian floors, obsidian walls… just plain obsidian.
He tried to get up but his arms were locked into their position. He then realised he wasn't on the floor. He was chained to a slab of … you guessed it obsidian.
He whirled his head trying to recognise his surroundings. A familiar voice boomed around him.
"MY DEAR NEPHEW!" Hades appeared in front of him. Apollo tried to smile but he couldn't stop staring. Hades was wearing his crown as usually but his body was covered in huge furry black robes… like he was preparing for night.
"Uncle… why am I here?"
"Aphrodite requested you were treated fairly. Anyway, your dead."
"Rebirth is my choice."
"Ahhh, I thought you may say that but unfortunately, it is not possible."
"Why not?"
"Gods can't be reborn. Even if you are no longer a god, the people don't know that..." Apollo cursed under his breath. Of course, not only would they dead but also their Roman self wouldn't be the same. They were gods; they couldn't just be reborn in a society where they were worshipped!
"So I go to Elysium?"
"Umm not possible."
Apollo glared at him. Persephone appeared in her usual gothic dress. As she walked passed, she seductively ran her nails across Apollo's bare body. He felt uncomfortable but he let it pass. She walked to Hades side and kissed his temple.
"Is he ready?"
"No, he doesn't remember the laws."
Apollo was gapping like fish… oh Percy. He groaned a loud. Hades and Persephone looked at him.
"Percy… where are you?" He called out to the black room. Persephone laughed but Hades shot it down with a glare.
"That is why you cannot die."
"Why?"
"Remember her birth…"
Apollo eyes widen. Of course!
"THANK YOU UNCLE HADES! THANK YOU SO MUCH!" The chain disappeared and he ran he hugged Hades. Apollo started crying with joy while Hades' awkwardly patted his head.
"This is why I don't like having many children." He muttered as Persephone walked out of the room leaving him with a excited Apollo.
Poseidon felt as old as he was. He was under the water in his castle. Amphitrite was next to him trying to get his attention with him. Triton was outside, probably flirting with some water spirits. Everyone was doing something with joy except Poseidon.
He brushed Amphitrite off of his shoulder and went to his room. He needed to talk to Priscilla. Should she summon her now? No, she is in mourning now, but this could help her... No, I must talk to Zeus.
He transported himself to Olympus. He walked down the same path as usual until he reached Zeus' house.
"What now?!" Zeus cursed in Ancient Greek and answered the door. He saw his brother and let him enter still with a look of annoyance on his face.
"I need to tell her!" Poseidon let out when Zeus sat down across from him.
"What if she doesn't retrieve Apollo? What if she retrieves Luke? She was given only 3, she used one to rescue her mother and now she either has to use the last 2 on Apollo or 1 on Luke. It's her choice and there is a likely chance she will choose Luke!" Zeus Protested.
"She loves Apollo and this … incident aside. She must know she is one of a kind." Poseidon was literally begging Zeus to listen to him with an open mind. He knew his daughter best out of the Olympians. Poseidon knew she would choose Apollo.
"She only defeated Kronos because of the power we gave her. How can we trust her? How do we know she won't defy us and bring Luke back to life? How do we-" Poseidon cut him off enraged at his brother's close mindedness.
"How do we, How do we. ENOUGH!" Hera ran down the stairs and saw Poseidon.
"Poseidon, do you want something to eat or drink?"
"No thank you Hera. Please though get it through to Lightening Head here that we need to tell Priscilla!"
Hera looked at her husband and sighed.
"We must contact the Olympians, it concerns everyone except …" She couldn't say Apollo.
The throne room was full. Artemis sat down with her head dropping slightly. She wanted Apollo to call her Arty again, or to refer to her as his 'lil sis' even though she was older. A few tears leaked from her eyes and she felt a arm on her shoulder. She looked up hoping it was Apollo, but instead it was Zeus. He gave her a comforting smile and she returned it.
"Why are we here?"Artemis asked.
"We must discuss something." Zeus slammed the master bolt against the marble floor. The room fell silent. He kissed Artemis' forehead and sat in his throne facing the other Olympians."
"It has come to my attention, Apollo can be saved… BUT!" The room fell quiet again
"It means telling Priscilla about her blessings." He didn't need to slam the bolt, the room was dead silent.
"But we can't! If she uses her blessing on Luke-" Poseidon cut Demeter off.
"I know my daughter, she would NOT defy us. She is loyal to us and ever since we did what she asked she has not strayed away. She has been clearly in my eyes and yes she did love... Luke but she was over that as soon as Apollo was involved in her life romantically!"
"I agree with Poseidon, The Camp is splitting in half and Dionysus can't hold them together much longer. The sooner we act, the sooner there is peace among our children!" Aphrodite sighed and slumped back in her throne. Everyone including Poseidon, gave her a surprised look.
"WHAT? A love goddess is labelled as a quiet girl who doesn't like getting involved in conversations? Stereotypes." Aphrodite muttered.
The whole room went into chaos until someone cleared their throat loudly.
A single voice spoke out. Athena arose. She looked at her siblings, father and uncles. She couldn't believe she was going to say it but she opened her mouth,
"Now I am against Poseidon's spawn more than anyone but I agree with Aphrodite and yes I am agreeing with her! Priscilla has a right to know."
Hahaha Hera and Athena approve! Anyway, hope you enjoyed. Next Chapter: WHAT IS THIS BLESSING THING?
