CHAPTER 14

POSEIDON POV

I felt bad not letting Jessie have her friends on the quest or for even making her go on the quest. But truthfully it wasn't really my idea it was Zeus'

and the other Olympians

*FLASHBACK*

I was at mount Olympus

"What should we do about your daughter?" Athena asked, waiting to see my response.

"I don't think we should do anything she hasn't shown that she is dangerous to other half bloods and we all know my children's fatal flaw is loyalty so I

feel we have nothing to worry about." I replied evenly

"But she is dangerous and has much power, she should do something to prove she can handle it no matter what." Apollo piped in

"Fine if you all feel she should do something to prove her loyalty why don't we send her on a quest with her friends and someone who's experienced?" I said wearily

"That is much to easy." Athena said smiling wickedly " I think something horrible should happen, per say her friends go missing?" The other

Olympians murmured with agreement

"That would not be fair think about how she would feel." I exclaimed angered, but I wasn't done yet "How would you guys like that to happen to

your children and what if she loses it?" This seemed to make the others think but then Zeus came in

"I think Athena has a good plan, and that will be what we do." He said in a voice that said there were no second thoughts. But I was angry and felt

betrayed so I did the normal thing I water travelled out and let out my anger by causing a tsunami that hit Haiti (LOL so thats what happened)

and a minor earthquake in Manhattan right by mount olympus's building. Just then Hermes came to Poseidon's under water palace

"Zeus has ordered you to mount Olympus and to stop throwing a tantrum." He reported

"Well tell him that if he wants to discuss something that might ruin the life of my child he may discuss it without me and I will do what I want I am

not a child." I said like a pouting kid and turned to prove the conversation was over. Then Hermes flew to mount Olympus to report. 8 minutes later

Zeus came.

"You can not choose if you stay for a council meeting, you must stay to the end." Zeus said authorization filling his voice, but since we weren't on

Olympus and were in my domain it seemed less threatening.

"I will not discuss this. I feel that I should have a say in my child's quest." I stormed, as the water turned murky.

"And you do have a say. But we out ruled you." Zeus said sure of himself I laughed a merciless laugh

"A true vote eh, ya if you count you and Athena a true vote group." I said coldly as the water rose in waves taller than any god in their godly form.

Zeus sighed

"Then I guess we will leave Athena to make the plans." and he left. I went after him, afraid of what she would do.

"I see you were right Athena." Zeus said a smile playing on his lips

"Now, we will go on." Zeus said but before he could say any more I spoke up

"At the very least can we take a vote?"

"That seems fair enough for me." Athena said

"Ok then" Zeus said "who thinks Jessie should keep her friends ?" Zeus called I of course raised my hand and so did Apollo, Artemis, Hermes, Aphrodite and Ares "Now who says she must lose her friend? He, Athena,Hera,Hades,Demeter and Dionysus raised their hands.

"Well what do we do?" I asked "We have an even vote." "I will think it over." Zeus said and we were dismissed.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

Later that day Zeus had come to me.

"I have carefully thought about it and decided that Jessie will not have her friends on her quest and that is the final word." he said briskly and left.

It still made me feel bad but there was nothing I could do. Well, except for make all the water Zeus,Hera,Athena,Hades,Demeter or Dionysus used

for any kind of drink-they all have a bit of water in them- a shower or swam in turned bad and smelled like rotten eggs until Jessie completed her

quest or in the case something went wrong until I forgive them. When I took Jessie's friend I almost left them or put them back but I knew I

couldn't so I did and still will do little things like help Jessie in her fights. But the look on her friends faces when they saw what she was doing

without them or their help made it to hard. I couldn't help myself. I watched them and from doing so I knew they were good friends, but was I a

good father? So I left them a note.

(This is the note)

friends of Jessie did you all know that you could leave my palace with your bubbles? Or that I'm the only one who has the

command to tell anyone or anything to stop you? Well both of these are true and tomorrow morning I will happen to sleep in and

no one will wake me. Though I must warn you that if you leave during Jessie's quest you will not remember your time with

me or that I'm her father. You are all good friends to her. Farewell.

This note was left in their room while they were eating at the dining hall, it was in a creamy white envelope with a red wax seal and taped to the

note was another message.

(This is his message)

I know some of you will be sad to know this but others will rejoice. Here is a list of gods and who voted for her to have you on the quest and who

didn't:

Want you on quest

Poseidon

Apollo

Artemis( Yes they actually agreed on something!)

Aphrodite

Ares

Hermes

Didn't want you on quest

Zeus

Hera

Athena

Demeter

Dionysus

Hades

and I left before someone could see my note and I got the luck, when Trident ran into me

"What were you doing?" He asked, always wanting new gossip

"Putting in something for one of them." I answered plainly, turned and left.
