June 21st - Olympus

The Olympian Throne room was as gorgeous as ever. 14 thrones made a U as the Olympians gathered.

A god in a black and grey pinstripe launched a bolt of lightning into the sky

"Olympians I hereby call this Summer Solstice meeting to order." Zeus boomed "What new business do we have?"

A grey eyed goddess rose her hand.

"Athena"

"Every since the fusion of the two demigod camps into Camp Olympus 200 years ago we have seen a distinct drop in monster attack but this year they were lower than ever."

"Isn't that a good thing?" The Apollo said "I mean our kids are safer now and mortals aren't caught in the crossfire." The other gods nodded in agreement while Athena just shook her head.

"It's just everytime there's a war monster attacks drop just like this I have reason to believe someone is marshalling forces."

"Who would dare challenge us. We are more powerful than ever our family is whole." Zeus argued.

The shadows rippled and twisted in the Throne room dampening the light. The hearth glowed an angry shade of blue as laughter could be heard.

"HADES, HESTIA CONTROL YOUR DOMAINS!" Zeus shouted

"It isn't us!" they yelled back in unison. Six figures walked out of the hearth to the genuine surprise of the Gods present. Perseus and his officers stood stoic in the middle of the Throne room. Zeus immediately fired the Master Bolt and before it exploded it was caught by Perseus. The shadows stretched towards him almost eagerly. Perseus looked at Luke and smiled as Luke reached into his bag and handed him 5 diamond coins mumbling

"You would think 500 years would change a guy."

"WHAT IN TARTARUS ARE YOU DOING HERE JACKSON" Zeus boomed

"Giving you a heads up thunder thighs. I want Olympus. I'm taking it from you. All of you with the exception of Hestia have made this planet terrible. Needless wars, endless suffering. You insist that you are better than what came before you but your inaction makes you every bit as culpable for what happens. There are simultaneous epidemics of obesity and starvation. Your various domains are in shambles, mortals are scared and witless under your rule. The worst part is you know what you're doing is wrong but you run towards it because who dares challenge an Olympian God. And everytime you do inserts yourself into the affairs of mortals it's to satisfy your own appetites and what do you leave behind? Broken homes where mortals have to find the right way to explain to their child why their other parent isn't there?" With every question the room became darker and colder. "Or maybe it's the trauma of having to see monsters everyday and have no one believe you? Or it's the punishment of any mortal who dares to have self respect in your presence." Perseus was shaking and throne room began to crack under the weight of his power becoming unrestrained

" I know! Its hearing a prophecy and damning the one saved your lousy asses twice to the FUCKING PITS OF TARTARUS WHERE I WAS TORTURED EVERY DAY FOR 1000 YEARS!" The ceiling exploded with Perseus wave of power holding even the big three down as pitch black wings sprouted from his back. 20 feet long and beautiful. Perseus felt a hand on his shoulder and looked back to see Clarisse staring at him. He sighed

"You won't do that to anyone else. The demigod who voted against me are not exempt. Those who are new can either be neutral or die slaves to your whim." Perseus handed the Masterbolt over to Zoe who smiled and broke it over her knee with a SHABOOOOOOOOOM of thunder and swirl of clouds dropping the two pieces to the ground.

"I declare war on Olympus and on the Gods. I will see you all on the field of battle." With that the group left a stunned olympian throne room.

"We fucked up." Hermes said.

A/N

So here's chapter 2 like I promised. I'm thinking 1 chapter a week to prevent burnout? For pairing with Percy it's between Clarisse and Zoe tbh. Also with Percy's coldness towards the demigods you'll get that in chp3. I guess that's it? Let me know if I left anything out?

Later, Peacoat
