NICO P.O.V

Percy was cursing as Nyx left.

" Language young man" Scolded Hera

Percy looked pretty Surprised

" Why are you surprised?" I asked him. "No one ever lets me curse."

He laughed " You're too young to curse. Besides its not like people have been telling me not to curse in Tartarus"

The gods flinched at that.

" I am not too young to curse. I'm older than you"

" You sure didn't act like it when I first met you"

" I was ten at the time"

" You were ten at then time. I was fourteen. So, I'm older"

" I walked right into that one, didn't I?"

"yep, you did"

" How will you get out of here?"

"I have my ways"

"Percy" said Piper taking a step forward. Percy took a step backward and hurt flashed on Piper's face. I guess Percy saw the hurt too Because he said.

" Aren't you that Daughter of Aphrodite who told me to never come near her?" Ouch.

"I'm so sorry. I was an idiot. I shouldn't have believed you would do that. Will you ever forgive me?"

" Of course, I will piper. But now is just not that time." Then he added " In case you're thinking I forgave Jason so easily he had nothing to apologize for. He was defending you. And if I thought someone hurt my girlfriend, I would have done the same. But you told me that you hate me, and I quote ' I hate you. I don't know how we became friends, but we are not anymore and never come near me ever again'" Yikes.

Piper nodded understanding. Stepped back in the crowd and resumed crying. A pause. I was about to stop the awkwardness and spark conversation with Percy when Hazel hesitantly stepped forward.

"I'm almost afraid to try but I would never forgive myself if I never apologized regardless of if you accept the apology or not. I'm so sorry. I should have never believed you over those fools. I let peer pressure blind me and I am so so sorry. I regret it so much."

"You don't need to apologize either. You didn't believe them at first. None of the Romans did and I am thankful for that. You stuck with me for a while and I'm grateful for that. I forgive you."

Hazel sighed in relief. She stepped back and his forgiveness seemed to give the Romans hope. But it crushed the Morale of the Greeks. I almost felt bad. Almost.

Frank stepped forward. " Percy I am truly sorry for what I did. I stuck by you for a while. Refused to believe that idiot David and a surprisingly stupid daughter of Athena. But I stuck by you for a while then left you. That makes me feel even more guilty and I sincerely apologize"

" Seriously I hope you are as tired of hearing it as I am saying it, but You don't need to apologize. You stuck by me for a while. You should feel proud of that not guilty. Its more than some people can say. You're pardoned"

This seriously gave the Romans hope. They all stepped forward and started shouting apologies at the same time.

" WAIT" Percy yelled " If anyone who is apologizing a Roman then you are forgiven. If you are not apologizing, please step forward."

The Romans looked ready to celebrate. Apparently, everyone was apologizing because No one stepped forward.

" Perseus" said Artemis deciding to be the first goddess to apologize. " I apologize on behalf of myself and the hunt. You saved us twice and we got you sent to Tartarus. I hope you can forgive us."

The hunters nodded agreement.

"I'm not mad at any of the Hunters. You were hunting. You didn't do anything. And what do you mean you got me sent to Tartarus? As far as I know the Hunters didn't send me to Tartarus. And you might have voted for sending me there, but you thought I broke a woman's heart. It's your nature So, I refuse to accept an apology you should have never gave. I'm not mad at you nor am I mad at the hunters."

Cue sighs of relief from the Hunters. I was amazed at the pace he was forgiving people. I wouldn't have but I do tend to hold grudges.

Queen Hylla went next " I'm Sorry" She began but Percy stopped her then and there.

"What are you sorry for? Did you do anything? No. Did the Amazons do anything? No. Did your patron Hera do Anything? No. So stop right there and don't you dare apologize"

"What do you mean I didn't do anything? I got you sent to Tartarus. I truly am sorry for that " Hera Spoke up

"You were one vote out of so many. I don't hold anything against the gods. You were told I was a traitor. And you did your duty. You did nothing wrong"

More sighs of relief. Then Thalia stepped forward. Percy spoke first this time.

"I take it back. I am mad at one hunter"

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have yelled at you like that Percy. I shouldn't have been so quick to believe Annabeth. I'm truly sorry." Said Thalia.

"Isn't it below your level to be apologizing to a 'male pig who should go rot in Tartarus because you don't deserve to breathe' ?" Oof.

" It is. But you aren't any one of those things I should've believed you. Not Annabeth. But the time when you need me. When you need me to be smart. I go become stupid"

" You were my cousin. I know Annabeth was your friend for a long time. Your sister. But I expected you to at least let me explain but you insult me and then convince the hunters whose respect I earned with a lot of hard work that I am just like all the other males and convince Artemis to vote against me without even letting me speak. I'm sorry Thalia but I can't accept your apology."

Another pause.

Apollo decided to go next. " I don't think most of the gods will apologize but I apologize on behalf of the council. Our sincerest apologies- well mine at least- and I would like to add that most of us were either blackmailed or convinced by Athena."

The Gods glared at Apollo like they were going to apologize.

" No problem. You actually helped me realize that most of my Greek friends and my life was fake."

"I'm sorry Perseus. My daughter told me you cheated on her and I was furious. I let my pride and anger oversee logic. I convinced most of the council against you and I'm ashamed of myself." Said Athena.

"Its not a big deal Lady Athena. You were just helping out your daughter. Its your motherly instincts. Annabeth has a great mom. All your children do. Your apology is accepted"

I whistled. Athena looked at him incredulously. But you could see her relief.

David stepped up.

"I'm sorry. I'm not just saying that. I was blackmailed by a powerful entity. I can't say which entity. I know I probably won't be forgiven but my apology is sincere. Also, I just wanted to say I'm sorry about Annabeth. She just walked up to me and proposed dating and this entity demanded I accept. I Have another crush and I ruined your life. I'm so sorry."

"True" Apollo announced. Percy reacted before people could start shouting.

"You're forgiven David. Even before I knew this, I was never mad at you. You never charm spoke or manipulated anyone into believing you. They just did. They were fake friends. And you showed me that. I appreciate the information and I'm glad you're safe."

Annabeth went next.

"Hello Percy" She said softly.

"Hello Annie Bell" He replied.

"I am so sorry Percy. Its Just that one day I heard the hunters rant on how unfaithful males were. I decided to test your loyalty. I didn't mean for it to go this far. I am so sorry. My stupid Pride"

"I'll forgive you Annabeth. One day. One day I'll forgive you all. But today is not that day."

"Son, I am so sorry. I have no defense and I'll make no excuses. I just hope you'll forgive me. My Humble and genuine apologies." Poseidon told him.

"Again, I'll definitely forgive you one day, Just -" Percy Suddenly Froze. Then closed his eyes. And walked towards the shadows. And shadow travelled away.

And the Chaos starts once again.
