On one hand, the gods were somewhat taking it well. On the other...
Olympus
As king of the gods, Zeus should be the one who called a council meeting. He did, but that didn't mean he wanted to. Hera had been insistent that he invite Hades too, before even the summer solstice.
"Someone took over my Oracle!" Apollo said. He looked like he was on verge of panicking, anything but the usual laid-back appearance he generally had.
Artemis sighed. "Brother, please. I'm sure it is fine."
"No, it isn't! Things have been strange since Poseidon's son showed up, and now my Oracle isn't working! If there are no prophecies, then there is no future. And if there is no future, that means there is nothing for there to be a future about!"
"It has nothing to do with Percy." Poseidon protested.
"He was the one who went to get a prophecy! And you have to admit, things have been strange since he arrived. The first fire-wielding child of Hephaestus has shown up in centuries, and Thalia Grace has somehow emerged from her tree!"
Hera scowled at the mention of the daughter of Zeus.
"One of my daughters has shown up, and she has already displayed an extraordinary talent in charmspeak." Aphrodite contributed, looking up from her magazine.
"There has even been rumors around Jason Grace in Camp Jupiter!" Apollo said.
The gods collectively winced as their auras flickered from Greek to Roman and back again.
"Apollo, stop. There is no reason to worry." Zeus said, rubbing his temples.
Ares twirled a dagger in his fingers. "Maybe we should just get rid of the punk, if he is the cause of all these problems."
"No!" Poseidon rose from his throne, trident in hand. "He has done nothing wrong."
"Except steal my bolt!"
Hera sighed, obviously not in a good mood. "Can you leave this alone until we are done? We have important business to discuss.
"Hephaestus, how did your son get to Camp Half-Blood?" Hera asked.
"I'm not quite certain. He was in New Jersey when he suddenly started traveling towards camp. He met the Hunters soon after he arrived in New York, and Artemis called for Apollo to take him there."
Artemis interrupted. "I do not know what prompted me to ask Apollo to take him there, especially because he is a male, but there was something telling me he needed to get there."
"There is an aura of mystery surrounding this whole thing, it seems." Hades added.
"We will continue you this meeting after a break," Zeus said. "There is something my brothers and I must discuss."
