Chapter 18. Act 1-completed
POV Zeus (after Percy fell into the pit)
Well, I finally got rid of this brat and banished my brother from Olympus as a bonus. And very good. Although my daughter Artemis reacted strangely to this. Was she protecting him? Although she hates all men. And now she just sits and cries at the place where we threw it? What's wrong with her?
I want to continue the meeting. Artemis looked at me as if she wanted to kill me, then returned to her throne. But all those who voted against the banishment, and Aphrodite, looked at the others with hatred. Here Apollo begins to glow green, indicating a new prophecy. He stands up and begins to speak.
The maddened hero will rise,
Stopping a new war,
And the maidens will help him.
The world will find its long-awaited peace.
How I hate this Perseus Jackson.
POV Athena
Why, when we got rid of it about him, does a new prophecy come out? Where should he save us again? We can't even get rid of it properly. What kind of person is he? My father catches my attention.
"Athena, what do you think of the new prophecy?"
"Well, it's obviously about Perseus – I said it with as much venom as I could manage. - Virgo I think this will be introduced to the Artemis hunters. I glanced at my sister as I spoke. She was saddened and did not look at all of us with hatred. I sighed and continued. – War — this may refer to the new prophecy of the seven, associated with the war with Gaia, or it may be about another war, for example, perhaps with Poseidon, or maybe about some other. We all know that time goes differently in Tartarus and mortals who get there get partial immortality, so as not to die of old age and experience eternal torture.
"DID YOU KNOW?" DID YOU KNOW AND CONDEMN HIM TO THIS? Artemis shouted. – WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU ALL?" SAVED? AND THIS IS HIS REWARD? ETERNITY IN TARTARUS? I don't WANT to HAVE anything more to do with SWAMI. " when she finished shouting, she flushed and disappeared in an unknown direction.
"I agree with my sister. Apollo said gravely, and then he, too, disappeared.
"Me, too." Aphrodite shouted, and Hermes just nodded, and they left together. I'd noticed long ago that Hestia wasn't there either. My father started to seethe, but he didn't say anything, so I decided to continue.
"Since he will become partially immortal, this prophecy may apply to both the current war and the future one. Now we have to decide what we're going to do about the war with Gaia? We need to unite the camps to fight her, " I said.
"I close Olympus to all contact with mortals. my father announced. We all looked at him incredulously. Then he added, " the MEETING is OVER." After that, other Olympians began to disappear. Only Hera and I are left. Hera rose from her throne and came to me.
- I have a plan to unite both camps.
POV Artemis (somewhere in the forest on a cliff)
How dare they do this to him? Tartarus? For what? He didn't do anything to them. I was sitting on a cliff near the sea with a beautiful forest behind me, and the moon was shining dimly overhead, reflecting my depressed mood.
The best man is banished to Tartarus out of jealousy and lust for power. My uncle was kicked out of Olympus. Should I join his war against Zeus? Let's do that. Let's destroy this arrogant bastard. Diana said in my mind. I agreed with her. And how do I tell Talia about This? I sat on this cliff for several hours thinking about what to do and how to tell my Lieutenant. Then I decided to go back to camp. When I returned, everyone was asleep except for Thalia. The camp was partially destroyed or flooded. But there was no one on the street except her she was sitting on the steps waiting. When she saw me, she stood up and greeted me.
"My lady, how did it go?" Do you know what happened to the camp? – she saw my sad face and began to worry – is my Lady all right?" Is something wrong? I couldn't get anything out but a sob, so I nodded.
"The camp was damaged because of Percy, and I think he found out about Annabeth. I said. – And he was punished by being banished - " I couldn't finish. I started to cry again and remember how he looked at me when he fell into the hole. His eyes seemed to speak: « Everything will be fine. We'll meet again. »
"My lady, what happened to Percy?" How banished? Where to? she began to worry.
I managed only one word between sobs - Tar... tarus.
АН: Well, that's the end of the first part of the story. The next one is about Percy in Tartarus. Wait.
