Grover had gotten to Camp Half-Blood safely. He had just stepped off of Bessie and onto the beach. Surprisingly, he was extremely dry. Thanks Poseidon. He thought. Grover hadn't even been on dry land for two minutes. The next thing he knew, a giant light came and engulfed both him and Bessie. A tingling sensation was surging through Grover's body, he closed his eyes. A moment later, the sensation stopped. Grover opened his eyes and was surprised to find himself standing in front of the entire Olympian council (minus Artemis of course). He gulped as he kneeled down. Thoughts raced through his mind. Most of them included Oh my gods, why am I here? And the usual thoughts of I'm starving. The gods were all staring at him. They knew that the satyr had been a part of the group that was sent to save Artemis. After all, almost half of them were spying on the kids to begin with. They also knew that Bessie was currently a more important weapon than Thalia or Percy. Bessie was currently trapped in a large bubble of water. Poseidon had conjured it up and put Bessie in it because he knew that sea animals couldn't survive for a long time on land.
Zeus cleared his throat before he spoke. "Grover Underwood, do you know why you are here?" Grover stood up and walked over to Zeus.
"Not exactly." Grover said nervously. He kneeled down in front of Zeus' throne and began to recite the story of what happened.
Apollo, who already knew what had happened, took out his iPod and put the headphones on. He was listening to the Beatles, his favorite band from the 60's. His actions earned him a curious glance from Hera.
Athena was pretending to listen. She was watching how Thalia, Percy, and Annabeth were doing. She planned to intervene if things went badly. She knew that Zeus wouldn't let her though. They had Artemis on their side. Athena had no problems with Artemis. She hadn't done anything to annoy her. Aphrodite was half listening. She was to busy adding the second coat to her freshly painted nails.
Hermes was playing with his phone, and Ares had the most bored look on his face ever. He had better things to do-things that didn't involve listening to a goat-boy describe things that he already knew about. The other gods were listening to Grover. They hadn't heard the story and they didn't know about what had happened with the quest.
Grover continued to describe what had happened. Somehow, he managed to explain the way that the gods had helped without mentioning their names. Zeus didn't really think about the way that his children had helped. He expected that at least one of them would help out. He also didn't realize that Aphrodite was keeping track over how many of the gods were helping out.
"And they should hopefully be here shortly." Grover finished.
