Chapter 9: A Promise Kept

Poseidon stood in front of the Dias with a platter in his hands, this was so humiliating! But he couldn't do anything about it. His father owned him. He couldn't do anything, especially with the charm on him, the charm that marked him as a slave. That held his powers until he could be trained only to follow orders. He wasn't the only one Charmed.

Ares was as well, he was the footman for Atlas, the third in command besides his son. There were minor gods that were too, but he didn't know what ones, after all he wasn't really allowed in all the places in the castle.

He saw Annabeth dressed in skimpy clothes with a charm on as well, her eyes were broken and she had bruises on her face. It seemed as if some of the titans had fun with her, but since she was a slave and couldn't do much about it.

Percy was given free lee, but it was strained, Kronos was courting Percy, and Percy had taken the courtship with promise to stand forever beside Kronos, it was the third week…

LINE BREAK

Zeus sat on the floor with his head down, it was going to be his turn next… he could just feel it, it was as if the Fates were warning him. So he wasn't too surprised when the cell door was flung open and a Charm went on his neck, unresisting Zeus was dragged until they reached the Throne Room.

Poseidon was kneeling in between the thrones holding a platter full of food, Percy sat reading a book and not looking at anything that was going to happen, after all Kronos only had him present because it was power play, he wanted to gloat.

"Hello Zeus," Kronos said and stood up, his eyes wide with playful intent.

"Father" Zeus grounded out, his eyes staring defiantly at the titan lord.

"Ares is such a good and loving devoted grandson… I wonder if his father is the same." Kronos sneered. "Would he give his servitude to the new King?"

Percy looked up at that point and nodded his head slowly; he sat on the edge of his throne awaiting Zeus' reply.

Gritting his teeth Zeus nodded, "yes milord."

Surprising everyone, in the room Zeus knelt, put his fist over his heart and gave a warriors pledge, his voice crackled with his power and it shone with his true intent.

"Ο Δίας, ο θεός των ουρανών και ο κεραυνός και ο κεραυνός, ορκίζομαι με δική μου ελευθερία να είμαι ορκισμένος πολεμιστής, αν ο βασιλιάς μου επιτρέπει ... να προστατεύσει και να διασφαλίσει ότι δεν θα βλάψει ο βασιλιάς Κρόνος και ο βασιλιάς Περσέας, ορκίζομαι." **

"Δεχόμαστε, έτσι είναι" ****

A/N: I hope that was good, I have been reading Harry Potter as of late and have slowly been coming back to PJO!

**I Zeus, god of the skies and the thunder and lightning, hereby swear of my own freewill, to be a sworn warrior if my king allows... to protect and make sure no harm comes to King Kronos and King Perseus, on my powers I swear.

****I accept, so mote it be
