Going to review and answer some reviews for everyone:

Percy: Time, Light, Oceans, Air, Unseen
Annabeth: Female Fertility, Motherhood, and Generation
Artemis: The Moon, the Hunt, Childbirth, and Wilderness
Zoe: Hunters Skill, Virginity, Stars and Constellations
In this story Percy is really powerful, he's about as powerful as Poseidon and Zeus combined. Although not as powerful as Hades and Poseidon, when ranking the Big Three in this story it goes Poseidon, Hades (close second), and Zeus (far third from first). Also in this story Paul and Sally are married so that means that the Sky and Earth are already joined together and neither can be destroyed while the other lives, unless the other wills it to happen or are divorced. Holding up the sky is now only a punishment that can be given and is not necessary anymore.
For future reference only someone from the Royal Family of the Seas and Oceans can invite someone into there domain. Once invited that person can only breathe underwater for a short time, however if Pontus and/or Thalassa agrees then they can breathe underwater forever and whenever no matter what.
If you ever have any questions about the story please either leave a review or PM me so I can answer you or explain so in the coming chapters. Thanks and enjoy this short chapter!
(Percy POV)
I woke up the next day feeling refreshed compared to the previous day. Today was the day that the nobles of the ocean were supposed to arrive. I had given my plan for the new government of Lemuria and the Oceans to Annabeth to critique and make suggestions. I got dressed and ready for the day and went to the library to find Annabeth. I found her as she was walking out of the library with my plans in hand.
Seems I caught you at a good time. Did you have time to look over my plans for the government? I asked her.
Yes, they seem to be good and will help to lessen your work load. She responded and handed me back my plans. My plans were for the heads of the noble families to have a seat in the House of Nobles. I already divided the city into districts with a representative from each district in the House of Commons. The requirements were simple for each house. For the House of Nobles you had to be the Head of a Noble family, at least twenty one years of age, a legal citizen of the city (no criminal history), and having a residence in the city. For the House of Commons you had to be living in the district your representing, at least twenty one years of age, and a legal citizen of the city. The nobles would serve for however long they wanted, but the representatives would serve for four years before having to be re-elected. You could only be elected three times. These two houses would make up the legislative branch of the government. For the judicial branch there are two courts an Upper Court and Lower Court. For the Upper Court the judges would have to be a member of the Royal Family or appointed personally by the Royal Family, and for the Lower Court the judges would have to be voted in by the two houses. The judges in the Upper Court were appointed for life unless removed by the Royal Family or retire. The judges of the Lower Court only served for five years, but could be continuously appointed by houses. Any judge could be removed for any reason by the Royal Family. The executive branch was like the the Royal Family as Poseidon was the head of the family and leader of the city while present, but when absent the city was headed by me. The citizens of Lemuria elect a Prime Minister to govern the city while I was not present. The Prime Minister would serve for four years per term and could only serve two terms.
I had the guards post my plans around the city for people to see. I decided to crash the Olympian Council meeting today and flashed into the throne room. I was one of the first to arrive so I summoned a guest throne next to the hearth and waited for the rest to arrive. it didn't take long for them to arrive with Zeus and Hera being the last to come. The meeting started as it normal did with them arguing back and forth. I decided to interrupt them by breaking up the argument with a question.
Excuse me but could you all tell me all of your domains? I know your major domains but what are your lesser known domains?
I am Zeus, Olympian God of the Sky, Lighting, Thunder, Law, Order and Justice. As well as King of the Gods.
I am Poseidon, Olympian God of the Sea, Earthquakes and Horses.
I am Hades, Olympian God of The Underworld, death, and riches.
I am Hephaestus, Olympian God of Fire, blacksmiths, craftsmen, and volcanoes.
I am Hermes, Olympian God of Travel, roads, thieves, sports, and shepherds.
I am Dionysus, Olympian God of Wine, theater, and fertility.
I am Apollo, Olympian God of Music, poetry, the sun, prophecy, and medicine.
I am Hera, Olympian Goddess of Women, marriage, and childbirth. As well as Queen of the Goddess'.
I am Hestia, Olympian Goddess of Home, hearth, the state, and family.
I am Demeter, Olympian Goddess of Harvest, agriculture, grain, and fertility.
I am Aphrodite, Olympian Goddess of Love, lust,desire, and beauty.
And I am Athena, Olympian Goddess of Wisdom, Courage, Inspiration, Civilization, Law and Justice, Warfare, Mathematics, Strength, Strategy, the Arts, Crafts, and Skill.
Thank you for indulging me and telling me your domains. Now for the point of why you all have these meetings to discuss those domains and not argue over these petty things. Once I said all that it was silent and they all looked ashamed at there arguing.
Lord Perseus is right it's time we got to the reason we are all here. It is the annual meeting in which we discuss any problems or news within our domain. I have sensed nothing new or any problems with my domains. Hera said.
People are still dying and being sent to the Underworld. The judges are doing there jobs and sending them to there right destination. said Hades.
Aphrodite, Hestia, Demeter, Apollo, Dionysus, Hermes, Hephaestus, and Athena didn't have anything to report about there domains. My father was next, Percy has been crowned both Prince and my heir. He now commands all of the Oceans as well with the help of Annabeth who has been crowned a princess of the oceans. Apart from that their isn't much happening.
I have nothing to report about my domains so I pronounce this meeting closed. Said Zeus as everyone flashed out. I flashed out as well and went back to my underwater palace. When I arrived I met up with Annabeth in the throne room, we talked about the baby and stuff like that for a while. Then we listened to petitioners for a couple of hours. Around noon we sent all the petitioners away in order to set up most of the government from my plan. Most the nobles had already arrived and were waiting for our call. I called them to the throne room after a brief discussion with Annabeth. Once the nobles arrived I guided them to the location of the House of Nobles, the meeting place for them anyways. When we got there it was still under construction but you could begin to see how big and roughly the look of it. I told them of their duties and what those duties entail of them. They only nodded along and seemed to understand my plan for the government.
With my plan for the government it would allow me to stop having to listen to petitioners as they would go to their representatives. All in all it would give me more free time to visit friends and family. it would also give me more time to spend with my new baby that was due in a month and a half. Time flew by as days went by and then weeks. The chambers of the House of Nobles and House of Commoners were built, the nobles were awarded their seats in the House of Nobles. The elections for the House of Commoners were coming to a close and by the end of the week they would be concluded. Then the new government could officially start governing and I could have more free time. Although I don't know how much time I will have since Annabeth and my baby is due at any moment. I was overwhelmed with excitement and nervousness over this. We were currently staying at our palace on Mt. Orthys since it would be easier for our loved ones to be their. We were just lounging around the palace when Annabeth started going into labor. I quickly Iris messaged for Artemis and Athena to come. When they arrived we moved Annabeth to the bedroom to make giving birth easier. When we got her to the bedroom I was quickly ushered out of the room, for the next hour I was pacing back and forth through the hallway outside our bedroom. I barely noticed the arrival of my father and the Titan Council, its been a millennia since the last Titaness has given birth. That and the fact that the baby was to be my heir made it an even bigger deal. After a while Artemis beckoned me into the bedroom. I ran back into the bedroom and was at Annabeth's side. I saw our baby and found that we had a baby girl. I was so happy and a billion thoughts were going through my mind all at once. Names were coming from all over my mind and I almost didn't hear Annabeth.
Percy, PERCY!
I looked back to Annabeth before she continued. What should we name her?
I was thinking something along the lines of Marina
Marina?, I kind of like it. Our little Marina Jackson.
Our little princess, I replied humorously.
