This chapter is really crappy, my school starts thursday and I am kinda freaking out so give me a little slack and expect slower updates!(Slower than they already are? Yes probably.) In this chapter it will show why Peyton hates Neptune/Poseidon so much. He is a little sexist. actually a lot sexist but... ENJOY! Also, I think AnnabethChase246 has gone missing.
Chapter 30 - olympus
It is Percy again, I think my sister is running out of stuff to say because she has been letting me write more often.
We rushed to the empire state building as fast as half-humanly possible.
"We need an audience with Zeus!" Annabeth yelled at the guy in the security desk.
"Zeus is a myth kid, move along." he waved his hand.
"We need the key card to the 600th floor!" Annabeth tried again.
"Do you have an appointment?"
"We have the freaking bolt!" Annabeth said.
"You want me to sh-" I started
"Take the key card, and mention a raise," said the guy tossing a card over the counter.
"All of the creepy mythos want raises. Wow." I muttered.
We rushed into the elevator and stuffed the card in the hole, btw they may or may not need a new hole.
If I ever have to listen to a god sing a 70's song again I will literally rip my ears off.
When the elevator doors opened what I saw… I wonder how long there has been a mountain of the empire state building.
"Y'all stay here, That way if I die you guys can go back to camp." I said to Annabeth and Grover.
There was a range of protests most involving 'no,' 'no way,' and 'got gonna happen' They finally agreed.
I took the bag and walked through the streets into the throne room and what I saw may or may not have blown my mind even more than the mountain floating over manhattan.(I wonder if people in Greece realise the top of mount olympus is in Manhattan)
There were 12 people gods sitting on thrones; the thrones themselves were about 6ft tall and the people were all 8ft or taller.
My eyes rested on the throne of my father. I walked up to it and bowed.
"Father," I said. I could almost hear Peyton's voice giving me instructions like she had for Medusa.
'Dang it Percy, you are supposed to address Zeus first!'
"Shouldn't the boy address the master of this house first!" Zeus thundered.
'Percy, be respectful, they are bound by the ancient laws but if you challenge him he will turn your body to ashes with the snap of his fingers.' Imaginary Peyton's voice told me.
"The boy defers to his father, it is only right." Dad interjects.
'Is that what Percy is to you? Just 'the boy'? That is sick and twisted and…'
The voice was cut off when Poseidon said, "Address Zeus."
I got up and walked over and kneeled in front of Zeus, pulling the bolt out of my bag and placing it at his feet.
"So your little brats then?"
'HOW DARE HE-'
"I have admitted my wrongdoing now let him speak." Poseidon interjected.
'Our father, blood relative father just called us a wrongdoing.' Peyton's voice said. It sounded more heart broken than anything. That is all we are, a result of a god's mistake.
I had the word wrongdoing stuck in my throat but I swallowed it down and told the story of my quest.
"Still, daring to fly through my domain!" Zeus roared.
"Peace brother, it was the only way."
'Peace brother it was the only way, blah blah blah this is so awful I'm sick of it!' Peyton's voice yelled.
"I find it hard to believe that Ares would do such a thing." Zeus scratched his chin.
"He didn't, he was influenced. I don't know exactly who but my sister said that she thinks it is the crooked one." I pointed out.
All of the gods looked at each other before getting into a heated argument in ancient greek. I only caught the word 'father'
Zeus cut everybody off and said, "We will speak of this no more!"
'You idiotic, deranged….' then Peyton's voice when into a colorful list of words that I should not repeat.
"I must go personally purify this thunderbolt in the waters of lemnos, to remove the human taint from its metal."
'Dude, we almost died multiple times and you are whining that we may have gotten a little sweat on it?'
"You have done me a great service, boy. Few heroes could have accomplished as much."
"I had help, sir. My friends, Annabeth Chase and Grover Underwood, as well as my sister who probably saved my life more than I know."
"Ah yes, Penny."
'DID HE JUST CALL ME PENNY!?'
"Peyton," I said into my fist.
'Percy! You don't correct a god!'
Luckily, Zeus didn't notice.
"Don't let me find you here when I get back or you will die." Zeus said. Then he started glowing and it didn't take the voice of imaginary Peyton yelling at me to make me look away.
Poseidon looked down at me, "Obedience doesn't come naturally does it?"
I didn't know what to say so I just nodded.
"WEll, I suppose I must take the blame for that. The sea doesn't like to be restrained."
I just nodded again.
"You must go child, but know that your mother has returned."
'She turned Gabe into a rock!' Peyton's voice cheered.
"My mother?" I asked, speaking for the first time since Zeus left.
"You will find her at home, Hades sent her when your sister, Penny, recovered the helm."
'Did he just call me Penny? DID HE? Wow, you would think that if a god had two demigod kids he would at least remember their names.'
"Peyton." I corrected.
"What?"
"My sister's name is Peyton, always has been always will be." I spoke up
Poseidon ignored me, probably didn't like being corrected.
"When you return home you will see that your mother has made a choice. The gods, we sent you the head of Medusa and she has used it."
I thanked him and turned to walk away.
"Remember this Percy, you are the true son of the sea god." Poseidon called after me.
I wanted to ask about Peyton but I have corrected him once too many today so I think I will leave.
I have made the covers for all of the ocean's glare books but the blood of olympus and the battle of the labyrinth is my favorite one with the mark of athena coming in second. I made them though so of course I like them.
I realise this is off topic so bye! Enjoy today(whenever today is for you!)
