AN: I do not own PJO or HOO. This is where the adventure begins and the cruel part of me starts to show(No worries, I not very cruel to begin with). Rated T.

Nouney: I might use your idea for another Hestia becomes Queen of Olympus story as I can't find many of those but the story I am planning to write can be considered an explanation of what happened on Olympus during chapters 4 and 5 of this story. It is going to be a one-sided PercyxHestia as Percy has disappeared.

Guest: I do not mean anyone could do it. I will cover that in The Rebellion of Fire if I am going to write it but since you asked I will do a short explanation. The gems are treasures of the realm of Poseidon, which means they are all really powerful. Only Poseidon could enter the room(energy signature) with the treasures but Gaea gave Jake a potion to make him a powerful as Poseidon for 15 min to get as many as he could. Poseidon did not notice it as the room was only allowed to be opened on specific dates due to the power it held. I chose Jake (no offense to anyone named Jake) as after being used so many times, it has this arrogant ring to it which would give me more time before I get an actual outline of his character into the story.

Chapter 9

I continued training the children of Poseidon. Turns out Bryan was the oldest at 16 years old, followed by Sarah (14), Joseph (12) and Sophie (10). They were one of the only people who accepted me at camp. I would go to the lake and teach them how to use water to their advantage.

However there was a day when I went there but did not see them. They weren't in camp at all. I informed Poseidon of this and he was distraught. We believed that they were all taken by the enemy. The other campers took this as a warning not to get close to me.

I took the hint and stopped showing up at meal time. I never actually had to eat much. I would just sit on top of a tree and take out some crackers to eat. Even the gods started avoiding me. I made sure I told the Army not to do anything.

Some of the soldiers would also be ignored. I took the blame all on myself; I knew the enemy wanted them to threaten me. My fatal flaw was still loyalty; I wouldn't leave anyone behind on the battlefield. If the children of Poseidon were there, I would cease the attack to save them.

I stayed away from camp as much as possible. It was the betrayal all over again, people started ignoring me. I went on scouting journeys. Reporting back to the cabin when I had new information, no one saw much of me anymore. Truthfully, I think this was the best solution. Only a select few of the Army knew where I was.

I knew that the enemy was closing on us quick. They hadn't launched an attack yet as Order hadn't been raised and I hadn't been broken. I stole their plans, they wanted me out of the picture; I could see that from the beginning. Their plan was working well. The main reason I had been scouting was to find the children of Poseidon. Yet, my search had come to no avail.

Poseidon POV
Most of the gods were happy that Blaze wasn't going near their children, but I knew he never wanted to do that. If you looked closely, you could feel it in his posture. His original air of confidence had gone down by a lot.

You could feel the sadness that surrounded him. I wanted to talk to him badly, but I never had the chance. He was not at camp most of the time, the rest of the time, you couldn't see him until he's about to leave.

He had a certain sense of familiarity that I just could not place. The loyalty, the character, it was nothing I could place in my memory, yet, I just felt like I knew him. One thing strange was that each time he returned, he was paler than the previous time.

I wanted to find my children and I believed that Blaze would have the answer. Hence, I followed him into the forest that afternoon. I did find out where my children were. Just not the children you are thinking about.

Blaze was sitting on a low tree branch, talking to four people. "What's wrong with you recently? You look paler and don't seem good," the one in a grey and green cloak asked. "Do you have to be so straight forward Theseus?" Blaze replied.

Theseus, the name rang in my head. He was him. Blaze received hard stares from the four people. "Fine! There is something wrong with me. The power of balance has been tipped." They all did not seem to get it. I didn't get it either.

"Order has risen. The balance of the universe is messed up. As is the balance of my powers, the gods will feel it soon too. I have been getting paler because my powers seemed to be restrained greatly by a force I don't know. Hence, I cannot track demigods anymore. It's like I am a demigod all over again," he explained.

The girl gave him a questioning look. "I was once a demigod you know. Not many people know this but I wasn't born a son of Chaos. I was once a child of Poseidon, that's why I could teach them. But to the main point, I cannot use the full extent of my powers anymore. I can neither track monsters nor demigods."

Realization dawned on her. It did on me too. I still think I am in a shock of what happened. For many years, my children have joined the Army, but never would I have suspected that the one who created it was a son of mine.

Then, I saw how people ignored him in a different light. It was like how they betrayed Percy all those years back, except this round, there was no new hero. I wanted so badly to walk right up and apologize if I had ever ignored him but I just stood there frozen to the ground.

I had to find out more. "I know this is going to be dangerous, but I am going to the enemy's base on Earth in Alaska, I need to find the other children of Poseidon. If I do not return by the eve of the battle, presume the worst per usual and take charge of the Army. Clear?" Blaze commanded.

The four could only nod their heads in agreement; there was no disagreeing when he used this tone. I wanted to tell him not to go. I had to at least know which son of mine had the power to turn into a Primordial before he went to his death. Yet, I didn't.

Sometimes I think I did the right thing then, yet sometimes I don't think so. If only Percy was in this battle. I am quite confident they both would have gotten along with their strong sense of loyalty. Little did I know what was going to happen next.

Bryan POV

We were waiting for Blaze, he promised them that he would teach us how to conjure up storms. Yet before he came, masked men came and knocked us out. When I awoke I saw Gaea standing in front of us in all her glory.

"You have awoken young one," the lady of the Earth began. "Children of Poseidon, always a bother, if only they could side with me. Yet, only once one did. You all have yet to know the true extent of your power have you? Blaze only taught how to use it to your will, but he hasn't taught you how to create storms, the most important power in a child of Poseidon."

"You won't win! You never will! My brother defeated you before; he will come back and do it again!" Sophie had just been told a month ago she was a demigod, telling her she would die now was a literal death sentence to her. "Slap her!" Gaea's orders were obeyed.

"He is dead! Gone! That brother of yours is died! And you too will…soon, monsters, as you please." Gaea walked right out of the room. The monsters took out their whips and daggers, one by one they carved words onto their skin, and one by one they whipped us till our clothes were soaked in blood and ichor.

I didn't know what to do, my siblings were all sobbing, I had to try hard to hold my tears in. I knew what they wanted to do. They wanted to use us to threaten the gods; they wanted us to make Poseidon relent.

AN: You guys probably hate me now. But don't worry; this is NOT going to turn into an angsty torture fanfiction regardless of how much I like those. I do have a plan and it involves Percy's fatal flaw if you must know. I posted a vote on my profile on whether or not you want the other story. Review! Criticisms are especially welcome for this chapter, but please, no flames. My next update would probably be on Sunday. Over and out!- I am Void.
