Zois Adaskalous: He will have control over Percy's domains but that's only a slight control. What I meant was him getting his own domain, basically becoming a god. So Percy would also have a slight access to Blackjack's domain like Blackjack has with Percy. They would be connected to each other through their domains , therefore they would be able to use part of that power but they wouldn't actually have the others' domains. Thanks for the review! :)

Chaos in my Mind: Cheers! :)

TheYoLOMan: Thanks for the comment, although if you as well as the majority wanted, I could try making it a Athena/Poseidon relationship. And about the cringe relationship moments, yaa... I don't know whether it'll improve to be honest. I'll try my best but... Anyways, Artemis will definitely become more of a man-hater and Hera is another matter. She will change slightly but for the most part she'll remain the same, except nicer. Anyways, thanks for the review! :)

Death Fury: Thanks! :)

A shield bashing into my face, a broken nose and a hades, sorry uncle, of a lot of ambrosia later. I was listening to my mother lecture me on why I lost in a spar against her again.

"- too cocky in that fight, Percy. Especially near the end, never underestimate the enemy and become overconfident. Especially when your opponent is as experienced and skilled as I am."

I smirked slightly, "so that's where I get my pride from." I knew that I would get in trouble for that remark but it was still worth it.

She turned her head to directly look at me and glared, "come on, get up. One more round."

I groaned knowing that my mother was going to go extra hard for that comment.

Luckily, I was saved by the bell. A large flash of lightning and I knew that uncle Zeus, (grandfather Zeus? Immortal families, smh) had called for an emergency meeting.

"We'll continue later, Perseus." And she flashed away. 'Wow!' I thought, I riled her up more than I expected to.

Regardless, I sighed in relief, knowing that I wouldn't in fact be beaten to near unconsciousness, believe me, it's happened before.

I shuddered, I loved my mother and she loved me but she was ruthless during training.

Shaking my head from these thoughts, I carried on training. I knew that my mother would follow through on her plans of a spar later and wanted to become as good as possible to prevent, as much as I could a complete beat-down.

Third person POV

Athena was one of the first to flash in to the throne room. In fact, besides her, only her father and Hera were present. She knew something big was about to happen by the looks on their faces. Zeus seemed very nervous and unsure which was not a look that was seen very often on the face of her father who was normally very confident, overly so. While on the other hand, Hera was smiling smugly.

This was very disturbing because Hera still hadn't done anything about the situation with the twins of Zeus and Leto. Something big was about to happen and I didn't know what. Something big enough to cause my father to look like he was going to be able to sweat buckets.

One by one, the rest of the Olympians joined us on their thrones.

"The council meeting has begun." Announced Zeus, "we have quite a few matters to go over today. For the first topic, I'll let my wife continue."

Hera, her smile still wide and smug, said, "if everyone remembers, Aphrodite was given six months to find a man of her choice to marry." (A/N again, almost forgot to include this. Why am I so forgetful?) At this she turned to the Goddess in question. "Have you found a man to marry?" She asked with an eyebrow raised.

Forlornly, she shook her head. There was someone that she wanted to ask and he was in fact present at the moment but she didn't want to ask him on such short notice that could cause him to give an answer that they both could regret. She didn't want to make someone elses life miserable.

Heras smile widened until they were as wide as a Cheshire's cats smile. "So, I will be selecting your groom. I have already decided and have chosen my son..." A pause, to add to the drama, "Hephaestus."

There was a momentary silence before the cry of protest that was expected although it was surprisingly from Hephaestus and not Aphrodite . While Aphrodite seemed happy enough because Hephaestus was the one that she was considering, Hephaestus didn't look happy. His face was set in a frown. (This seems extremely OC, I know but Hephaestus would be one God that I feel would not want to be married to Aphrodite because of how she looks. Although, in this story, he will be even more of an outcast so to say. He will have and want even less contact with other beings, preferring his machines. Hence him rejecting the marriage proposal.)

"And what if I have no wish to marry, it will prove to be an unnecessary distraction from my work."

Aphrodite frowned at this, she was even slightly hurt at the thought of someone not wanting to Marry her.

"I have made my decision, Hephaestus. Nothing you can do can make me change my mind." Although she was slightly annoyed that Aphrodite didn't look very sad about the proposal that she had made.

Hephaestus grumbled but let it go. Having gotten used to the controlling nature of his mother.

Aphrodite saw this with narrowed eyes. She was going to ask Hephaestus anyways but the way it looked right now, he would've rejected although in the end it wouldn't matter since she was marrying him anyways. She resolved to make Hephaestus hers truly, she would do whatever it would take.

"The wedding will be in a months time and I will oversee it personally."

After saying this, Zeus continued, "yes, and now onto more important topics." He grew slightly nervous and shot a glance at Hades. But a nudge from Hera and his eyes hardened.

"There is a traitor amongst us."

At his proclamation, there were gasps. Everyone wondering who would betray them, their own family.

"Someone who has tried to usurp me and tried becoming king of the gods and of Olympus."

"Who, brother?" Bellowed Poseidon.

Zeus ignored Poseidon and turned to Hades. He faltered slightly at the confused look on Hades' face but continued nonetheless.

"Is it true that you wanted to be king, brother?" He asked Hades.

Hades shrugged, "yeah, I wanted to be king. I felt that I deserved it as I'm the eldest out of me, you and Poseidon. But what does that have to do with the traitor?" (A/N very confused about how to kick Hades off the council. This is not very strong, doesn't make complete sense and seems forced. But honestly I had no clue how to kick him off. So... Hope it's alright.)

"And you still want to be king?" Zeus pressed on.

Hades' eyes narrowed, losing the Confusion, "What are you insinuating, brother?" He suddenly growled out. "Maybe once, but I do not care much for it anymore. It does not matter to me. You saved us and I respect that. I feel like you deserve it, even if you're the youngest." He said in a deathly, low voice.

"He's correct, Zeus. That is a big accusation." Supplied Poseidon. "You can't just go around making such claims."

"And I have proof. I have felt stirrings. Stirrings of massive power from Tartarus."

Gasps of surprise and alarm. "Father, how do you know?" Asked Athena.

"I am the king of this realm. I know all that happens on it. Besides, have you not felt it? The boiling of power, the malicious energy being emitted. And, all of it is coming from Tartarus."

"But that does not mean that Hades is involved."

"Yes but he has command over Tartarus. It is part of his domain, he should be in control. And if he was facing difficulty, he could've informed the council. We would've provided help."

"I do not control Tartarus, brother. It is within my domain, not a part of it. And yes there has been this aura of evil that has been blossoming and cloaking around Tartarus but that is normal, it is after all the pit for evil beings. The prison for all the malicious immortals."

"Yet you never mentioned it during a council meeting. Perhaps, you have been helping helping some beings and aligned yourself with someone against Olympus." Challenged Zeus.

"You dare!" Roared Hades, getting off of his throne.

"I am the king, it is my duty to make sure that nothing threatens the safety of Olympus."

Hades was silent for a moment, fuming. After taking a deep breath, he continued more calmly, "know your place, little brother. You might be king but I am the second eldest out of all of us and easily one of the most powerful. Definitely more powerful than you."

"Is that a threat?" Asked Zeus, slightly smugly.

Hades was at a loss for words, seeing as that was a threat, an indirect one but a threat nonetheless. "Know this, Zeus, I have never done anything to question your rule."

Zeus sighed as if he didn't want to do this and was unsure, "but I have to face the facts, brother."

"Don't call me brother." Hades interrupted, "not after you sit on your throne and accuse me of being a traitor to the council without any proper evidence."

Zeus glared at him, his mind made up now. "All the facts point toward your betrayal, Hades. You should've informed us of what's been happening."

"I haven't done anything!" Hades bellowed.

"Exactly, you've let this grow. Whatever this is, has been growing constantly."

"You can't do this."

"I know that I can't. But the council can and we shall have a vote. A vote on whether you will be staying on this council or not."

Hestia with tears in her eyes at seeing her family fighting in such a manner, gasped out, "brother, please! You must reconsider. This is too harsh for something that was out of Hades' control."

"I'm sorry, Hestia. But I've gone over everything again and again, and everything points to Hades' betrayal. Nonetheless, we shall have a vote to keep it fair and allow Hades a chance. Obviously, Hades cannot vote for himself and since this is my case, I will not be allowed to vote either."

Poseidon tried arguing but was silenced by a look from Zeus.

"All for Hades staying on the council, raise your hands."

Immediately, Poseidon and Hestia had their hands raised. Slowly, Hephaestus raised his hand shortly followed by Aphrodite.

Hades sighed in relief at seeing at least half the people voting for him which meant that he would be staying. It would be unlikely that all would be voting, some might be abstaining from the vote. And besides, half the people are on his side anyways.

"And the people who vote for banishment from Olympus, raise your hands."

Hera's hand was raised before Zeus even finished, shortly followed by Ares and surprisingly Athena. Hades smiled smugly when Demeter didn't raise her hand and he looked towards Zeus with an eyebrow raised and asked, "well, Zeus. It seems tha-"

He stopped and stared when Demeter raised her hand, albeit hesitantly.

Zeus smiled, "well it seems that it's a tie."

Hades shook his head, clear and continued, dismissing Demeter's betrayal. "Yes, yes it is. But I still didn't lose the vote which means that I'm going to be staying on the council."

Hestia and Poseidon nodded, thankful that Hades was going to stay on the council. That was until...

"I think not." Exclaimed Zeus.

"What do you mean, brother?" Asked Hestia. "He hasn't lost the vote."

"Not has we won it, my dear sister."

"But there is no way that it can be decided. What would you propose we do?" Questioned Poseidon.

"I'm so glad you asked. As king of the gods, it is my responsibility to resolve issues. Therefore, I shall be the deciding vote in the case that there is a tie." Zeus said smugly.

Hestia and Poseidon screamed their protests while Hades was shell-shocked.

"And I vote to banish Hades from Olympus, indefinitely." Concluded Zeus.

Poseidon got up with his trident in hand, ready to fight Zeus.

"You can't do this. There's no real proof or evidence that Hades has betrayed us. You can't go around abusing your power like that." Shouted Poseidon.

"Oh? But I'm not abusing my power, am I? I arrived with a conflict and it was resolved like a proper council. We've had a vote and everything. Unless you want another vote? I'm sure that the result will be the same."

"Why you-?" And he advanced forward until he was stopped by a hand on his shoulder.

Looking behind, he saw Hades with the angriest look that was ever seen from him. Even when we faced off against our father, Kronos, he wasn't this angry.

He shook his head, "it's not worth it."

Taking a deep breath, he turned towards everyone that voted in his support and smiled at them slightly, nodding his head in thanks

His face soured as he looked at the ones who voted against him until he finally maintained eye contact with Zeus and Hera and sneered at them.

"So you got what you wanted, huh? Well, I'll leave but know this, I never betrayed Olympus although now, I cut off all ties with Olympus barring the ones that voted for me. I will never come to the aid of Olympus ever again. See if I care if it is being destroyed."

He pulled Poseidon in for a man hug and was about to leave when he was tackled into another hug where he found Hestia, with tears in her eyes.

"Don't cry, sister. You are always welcome to meet me in my domain."

With that, he let go and Shadow travelled away.

Hestia, with tears still in her eyes, glared at the rest of the council. "Are you happy now?!" She exclaimed deliriously.

Poseidon pulled her in for a hug and flashed away, back to his place.

After a tense silence, Zeus said, "well, the council is dismissed." And he flashed away.

Athena stayed for a minute, collecting her thoughts before flashing out to break the news to Perseus.

Line break

1st person POV

My mom was gone a long time although I stayed in the arena and kept training non-stop. I wanted to train my water powers that I got from my dad but that was immediately banned by my mother the last time I trained when I flooded her whole palace.

I shuddered at that, the only good thing was that my control over water improved exponentially because my mother forced me to dry her palace on my own only using my powers.

Even after I assured her that it wouldn't happen again, she didn't allow it.

Which reminds me, my mother had gone to this meeting almost two hours ago. It's very strange that it's taken this long. Must've been an important topic to discuss.

I shrugged it off, more training time for me.

Just at that thought, she flashed into the room and she looked uncharacteristically nervous.

"Still training, I see?"

"Yes, mother. I wanted to do better the next time that we have a spar. Anyways, what happened at the council meeting? Took an awfully long time."

She summoned a chair and sat down, looking tired. I couldn't blame her, two hours at a council meeting. I wouldn't be able to stand sitting in one place that long without doing anything and not feel tired and sleepy, I would probably just fall asleep.

"A lot, Percy. A lot, first of all, Aphrodite's husband has been decided by Hera because she failed to find a husband of her choice in time. Hera decided that it would be Hephaestus."

I wasn't very surprised by the news, knowing Hera would choose someone like Hephaestus to spite Aphrodite. Aphrodite being the Goddess of beauty would want someone that would compliment her in more than one way. Meaning, someone that would not only flatter her but she would be flattered to be seen with. Or at least that's what people would think that that's how she is. But I knew the true Aphrodite, she knows her domain better than anyone, as it should be, and she doesn't only look at the exterior but the interior as well.

That's one of the reasons that I suggested Hephaestus. He's a very nice guy and extremely smart. He would appreciate her for how she is and not what she looks like.

"That's great news!" I exclaimed, "Aphrodite must've been happy."

She looked surprised. "You don't seem surprised but yes, she was happy."

"Well, I did suggest Aphrodite to get to know Hephaestus better and she seemed happy with the idea."

"Well, she was but the same can't be said for Hephaestus."

At my questioning glance, she elaborated, "it seems that Hephaestus had no intention to marry her and expressed his protest."

"That's strange. Anyways, did I miss the wedding because you took an awfully long time for just this proposal?"

She hesitated for a moment and I knew that something was wrong. "No, there was something else, another matter. Bigger than the wedding proposal."

She continued, "it's regarding your uncle Hades."

"What?" I almost screamed, "is he alright?"

"Not quite, Perseus. He was accused of being a traitor."

I blinked, "excuse me, I didn't quite hear you, mother."

She sighed, "a vote was held Perseus. A vote to decide whether he would stay on the council or be banished from Olympus."

"No! That doesn't make sense. What did he do wrong. He wouldn't, I know him. He wouldn't betray the council, his family."

My mother cut off my rant, "I'm sorry, Perseus. But my father, your uncle had proof. Something is happening, Percy. Something big, Zeus believes that Hades is behind it or at least a part of it."

My eyes were still wide with disbelief, I couldn't believe this, I refused to. "But he wouldn't do anything like that. It's just a misunderstanding, it must be. You said a vote was held, who voted against him?" I asked breathlessly and then continued, somewhat doubtful, "you... You voted for him, right?"

She turned her head away from me and I took a step back, unable to believe that my mother would do something like this. "What, why? Mother, why would you do that, how could you? If something is truly happening, if something is stirring, we'll need all the help that we can get and losing uncle Hades is a big blow to our side. Mother, this wasn't wise, yo-"

I was cut off again but this time I was cut off by her slapping me. "Never question my wisdom again, Perseus. You better remember that I am the Goddess of wisdom."

I took another step back. My eyes tearing up, not because my mother hit hard but because of the fact that she hit me. And over the matter that I didn't agree with her decision.

After a minute of looking at her venomous glare at me, I got angry myself and I adopted an emotionless stare.

"Ok, Athena. Then I hope you take comfort in the fact that I will leave you alone to your words of wisdom and never, ever disturb or question you again. For as long as you prefer a title and the reputation of goddess of wisdom over the love of your own son, then you are not my mother." (A/N Too strong and harsh? Did he overreact or was it justified? And no, their relationship won't be strained. This is just like a spur of the moment thing. Just to showcase her "godly" pride.)

She was shocked speechless by my rant and couldn't say anything.

I turned around, almost running to my dad's palace but I stopped just before leaving.

"Think about the wisdom in what you have just done, Athena. Was your pride truly worth pushing me away? If it was, then you aren't my mother. To me, family comes before all else. I hope you learn your lesson soon before you start pushing away other people dear to you." I said harshly and after sending one last glance at her, there were tears coming out of her eyes; first time that I'd ever seen her cry and it made me want to go over and comfort her but she had to learn that being the Goddess of wisdom doesn't make her the smartest and the best.

With that, I ran to my dad's palace without looking back. If I had, I would've seen her collapse on to the ground with tears running freely down her face, her eyes filled with regret and sadness.

I did, although, hear her shout my name, apologizing to me and asking me to come back. But I couldn't, I was too hurt with all that was happening to listen.

Barging into my father's palace, I located him comforting aunt Hestia. 'Oh, Chaos!' as the Goddess of family, this must've hit her the hardest.

Immediately I rushed forward and tackled her into a hug. I wasn't ashamed to admit that I cried into her shoulder while trying my best to comfort her. We had both lost someone important to us and we didn't know what this so-called banishment would entail. Would we even be able to see him again?

"Dad, can I meet uncle Hades?"

"Yes, yes you can but it's better if everything and everyone cools down first. It's quite a tense situation at the moment."

I nodded in understanding.

My dad continued, "why aren't you at your mother's?" He asked suddenly.

I didn't have the will to answer and instead just looked away, saddened by what happened.

"What happened, Percy? Did she say something?"

I remained silent.

Until he continued in a deathly silent voice, "Perseus, you will answer me now. Did she do something?"

"She slapped me."

Aunt Hestia gasped and dad continued, "why?"

"I told her that kicking uncle Hades off the council wasn't wise."

Without even looking at my dad, I knew that he was seething in rage. "That stupid, spoilt, prideful goddess dares to hit my son. She is just like her father, arrogant and prideful."

Now I looked at him, "father, please. She is still my mother." My voice lowered, "and... And she was crying when I left. I said some pretty harsh things to her. I'm a terrible person and an even worse son."

Without letting aunt Hestia or dad to say anything, I continued, "could you transport me somewhere, somewhere isolated. I want to be alone right now and think about everything that's happened."

I'm sure that he wanted to protest but after seeing my pleading look, he relented.

"Any sign of danger and you better pray to me or I swear to Chaos, Perseus, I'll punish you." He said sternly.

I nodded vigorously.

He continued, "anyways, I'll send you to this island. As far as I am aware, it's isolated. No beings reside on it, so you should be fine but just be careful, please?"

"Don't worry, dad. I'll be alright. And I know what to do in case of trouble anyways. By the way, what's the name of the island?"

He sighed, "the name, it's Ogygia."

This was quite a long chapter, definitely my longest. Very intense scenes with Athena and the throne room. Next chapter, I think that you can guess what's going to happen and who he's going to meet.

Also, we are getting close to his domains, maybe in a chapter or two.

Anyways this was my spin-off of why Hades was kicked and basically banished from Olympus. Even though I know that he was never on the council, I just feel that he would be included in family affairs initially.

Finally, the Tartarus thing is actually important. It pertains to a part of the story that is going to happen.
