Rhea

Rhea woke up without her husband or Luke. She figured Kronos was trying to clean up the mess she had caused not that she really cared. At that moment she need to talk to her sister Phoebe.

The door opened as two people stepped in, it was Kro and Phoebe. " We have some news for you." Her sister smiled. But it was a sad smile. " I'm going a head to Mount Othrys to plan a little party."

Rhea's eyes widened at the news as the fact of the matter hit her. She would get to see all her sibling again. It had been thousands of years since she had seen any of them.

" Ok" She turned to her husband. " I need to borrow Luke. I believe he is your missing mortal self. I have a way in which I can find out, but it will mean going to the Fates." Rhea wrung her hands as she spoke.

Kronos seemed to think about it before he answered. " It wouldn't be wise for me to control this body with out Luke."

" Then you will have to hide well within Lukes mind." Rhea told him. " If I can prove that we were soul mates before our mother interfered then our children will have to let me put you back together correctly."

" Rhea even if you manage that they will still have him judged." Phoebe sighed. " Though Zeus and his two brothers are likely to let him go. You've suffered so much without him that you almost faded."

Kronos began to breath hard and the two titaness looked over at him. His face was wrote with panic and a deep longing. " Can you do this without me losing the war?" He asked.

" Yes, but it would be a lot harder." Rhea answered truefuly. " I don't see why you feel the need to prove anything to our mother." She looked down at her feet.

" How long will you need to make the preparations?" Kronos asked her.

She looked up at him and smiled " A few weeks. I'll have to write out my request. I also need to ask Hades if we can meet at his palace." Rhea paused for a moment before continuing. " I should also invite Hermes to this. He'll get mad if I don't and that would be bad."

Rhea watch as Luke cringe behind Kronos' gold eyes. " Sorry Luke, but he is your dad."

Kronos shook his head to clear it of Luke bickering. " Alright, I'm sending the older more powerful monsters with Phoebe. That should make this place a lot quieter." He turned to Phoebe. " Go pack, I'll let the nightmares know they're going with you."
Phoebe nodded, smiling at the momentary return of the brother she had lost long ago. She grabbed Rhea and the two girls were off, they had a lot to talk about.

Kronos

The Titan Lord watched as Phoebe dragged Rhea away from him. He smiled as he and Luke watched the girls walk, their hips swayed in a way that would make any man hard. Shaking his head, Kronos turned back to the dining hall. He was going to call another meeting. One in which his wife would not be attending.

On his way to the hall Kronos met the mousey demigod who had first brought him to Salazar. He smile at her as she looked down at her feet. " Tell everyone that there will be another meeting in the dining hall today at noon."

THe little demigod nodded and ran off to tell the others. The news would travel quickly through the ship and everyone would be present later. He continued on to the dining hall. It was early morning and he knew Rhea would be hungry. Filling a few plates with food for himself and his sisters.

Kronos headed out of the dining hall, only to be stopped by one of the monsters under his command. The beast was one of Kempe's brood. " What do you want?" He asked it a bit annoyed at it.

" I want to know why we are being sent off with Phoebe." The creature stated without fear.

Kronos glares at the nightmare before it disintegrated into a pile of gold dust. The titan lord stepped through the heep on the deck. He had no need for those who questioned him. Only his sisters were permitted to voice their opinion.

The trip to Phoebe's room was a quiet one after that. Kronos kicked the door with his foot as his hands were full. The door opened to reveal his two sisters talking about girl stuff.

" He brote food!" Rhea exclaimed in delight. She took a plait from him and sat down in one of the chairs that littered the room.

" Thanks" Phoebe smiled up at him as she took another plait from him.

Kronos smiled at his sisters as he watched them. It almost felt like they could be a family again. He shook his head at the thought. It wouldn't be impossible as long as he remained the way he was.

" Are you gonna sit down and eat?" Rhea asked looking up at him.

The change was smooth as his eyes turned blue. Luke smile at the titanesses before him. " I have some questions." The demogod stated plainly.

" Shoot" Rhea told him as she continued to eat. " I'm sure my sister and I can answer."

" How can I be his mortal self?" Luke asked as he went over and sat behind Rhea on the bed. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her against his chest.

" Because even our mortal selve aren't 100% mortal. If our Mortal selves are taken they become a demigod." Rhea answered before taking another bite of food.

Luke nodded " WHat about that piece in your necklace?" He asked with a frown.

" That is the only pure piece of his immortal self." Rhea put down her food and leaned on Luke. Tears began to rain down her cheeks as she thought about how he had been before. She need someone who the gods feared more than herself. " I have to write to Ash."

" Please tell me you're not talking about the Acheron?" Phoebe shook her head " You are, aren't you?"

Rhea nodded as Phoebe left the room.

" Acheron is one of the rivers of the underworld." Luke said " Why is she afraid of a river?"

" It's also the name of a powerful Atlantean god." Rhea whispered.

Luke choked on his food " Atlantis is real?"

" Was real, Acheron's mother sunk it into the Aegean sea 11,000 years ago." She wrapped her arms herself as she thought about it. " You'll soon find that what the gods show to you demigods what they truly look like or their personalities."

" Really? That doesn't surprise me at all. Just one thing, is Artemis a virgin?" Luke asked as he put his food on the night stand.

" You'll have to ask Acheron about that." Rhea smiled " Can you speak Greek? I know Kro can. But I know that some demigods can read it but not speak it."

" I speak it. My mother taught me how when I was very small." He answered as he wrapped his arms around Rhea.

" Good, that makes things much easier." Rhea nodded.

Luke wasn't sure what to make of that. In truth he didn't want anything to do with the gods, but Rhea needed Kronos to be whole again. He wasn't going to try to lie to himself either. In a way he felt connected to the titaness.
