"Perseus do you feel them?" Zoe asked

"Yes, they feel like minor ones though." Percy answered.

"What are you guys talking about? Feel what exactly?" Abi asked.

"It feels like 2 entities are following us." Wale answered. Percy raised an eyebrow.

"About how long ago did you notice?" Percy asked

"About 3 miles ago." Wale answered

"That's when they got within a mile of us. Interesting. Why didn't you say anything?" Zoe said

"Honestly? I thought if it was an issue you guys would notice."

"So what, Wale can sense things now?" Sarah asked

"I guess so, that's impressive." Percy said

"Percy what are we going to do about them?" Zoe asked

"I don't see any point in delaying the inevitable. They will eventually catch us." Percy answered. Percy snapped his fingers as the carriage began to stop.

"Let's go great our guests huh?" Percy said as he stepped down from the carriage. Less than 3 minutes later the beings pursuing them appeared. Both were identical dressed as spartans but in all black as if they had been mourning. Red streaks were upon their faces as if the pair had been crying blood.

"Perseus Jackson. Bane of Olympus." The first twin said

"Killer of Mars Ultor. We are here for vengeance." The second answered.

"I'm guessing you too are Phobos and Diemos. Mars's kids." Percy said. Phobos and Deimos simply nodded.

"Listen honestly you guys are not Olympians so you're not on the TO DO list but your father was. I'm going to give the same option Bellona was given: drop your swords and leave or fight and die. Mars could not have been a good enough father to lose two lives over. I don't want to kill you both, but who knows about these rabid animals behind me?" Percy said as he motioned towards his children. "They might kill you just for looking at me wrong! So please tell me this speech got through to you and you see now that life is more than avenging a man who didn't even name you." Percy said. The gods looked at each other before grabbing one another's hands and lifting their swords. A wave of red and black burst towards Percy and others washing over them. Instantly, Wale, Sarah and Abi sank to their knees, eyes wide open, tears streaming. Zoe winced and then went to the children to check on them. Trying to snap them out of their trance.

"I offered you a way out and you attack anyway you immortals never cease to disappoint." Percy said as he extended his wings. Black, blue and white light shone from Percy until it became an aura of roaring flame bathing the area in his power. The red and black wave coming from the gods was overtaken immediately and Phobos and Deimos, fear and terror, were flattened against the ground. Soon each demigod began to snap out of their trance and began to rise. Each looked at Percy in all his glory and were immediately glad he was on their side. The power that percy was emitting was warm like a wind that never left but to the gods it was suffocating, all encompassing and inescapable. Feeling his point had been made, Percy reigned in his aura and allowed the gods to rise.

"Now, I hope you'll leave us alone." Percy said as he spun on his heels. Deimos and Phobos were filled with fear, but not as much as their thirst for vengeance. Without waiting for the monster to take another step both Gods raced forward at unfathomable speeds they were met with confusion as their blades stabbed into a bush of vines. They were even more confused when the hands of the demigods gripped their wrists.

"Our father wanted to spare you." The male demigod said. When he looked at Deimos his eyes glowed pink.

"And you try to stab him in the back." The female demigod finished. When Phobos looked into her eyes they glowed with blue flame.

"This is why the world doesn't need immortals like you." The last demigod female said from behind the gods. Turning, Deimos and Phobos met glowing green eyes. The gods' confusion reached its peak when they heard Percy call out.

"Can you let them go?" He asked.

"No." all three demigods shouted

"Can you take the both of them quickly?" He asked

"Yes."

"5 minutes starts now. Go!" All three demigods burst into flames of pink, blue and green. Wale yelled with all his might careful to only will it for the gods.

"Drop your weapons!" Both gods obeyed as vines erupted from the ground beneath them, launching them into the air. Seconds later an explosion of blue fire knocked them even higher disorienting them. On the ground, Abi wrapped vines around her teammates and launched them towards the gods. Sarah blasted fire from her feet to build up momentum as she used a miniature explosion to send Wale toward Phobos as she blasted towards Deimos. Sarah lit her spear on fire and yelled as she stabbed through the neck of her target. A similar yell could be heard as Wale, sword draped in pink flame decapitated his target. Sarah smiled and blasted over to catch her brother before he could fall to his death. As the pair descended the looked at Percy expectantly

"4 minutes and 46 seconds amazing work you three." Percy said. As the pair crashed on Abi all Wale could do was pump his fist before immediately passing out. Sarah hugged Percy then she too fell unconscious. Abi made it all the way into the carriage herself then she too inevitably fell unconscious.

"I remember Clarisse training them for about 4 hours this morning. What the hell did she teach them?"

"Oh? I didn't tell you? I had Chronos enchant the training hall. One day equals One year. So that 4 hours was really about 2 months. As to what they were taught…..I taught them how to tap into cosmic energy efficiently thus boosting their abilities. Clarisse taught them how to control it but they still need to master it though."

"Goodness what do you plan on throwing them at?"

" To be honest? Probably Hermes." Percy said as the horses began once again.

"I can't believe we're about to go see Medusa. On purpose!" Clarisse exclaimed.

"Oh calm down if we are here to eliminate the gods the least we can do is undo some of their terrible actions, don't you agree with your boyfriend?" Silena teased.

"Of course. Percy asked you to do this and you kept it from me. I hate it here." Clarisse answered. The pair continued walking through what looked like a store that sold life sized stone statues.

"Ladies, ladies welcome." A warm and cheery voice said

"Right on time. Who's there?" Silena said sprinkling fear in her voice.

"Why, I am Aunty Em of course!" A tall thin woman appeared from the shadows, her hair was wrapped in a bonnet. Her skin gleamed in the fluorescent light and even though she wore shades clarisse could make out the vibrant green of her eyes. "Welcome to my emporium."

"OMG thank you! We got lost so we just came into the first building we saw." Silena said laying the fear on thick."

"Yeah you think you could help us a bit?" Clarisse added.

"Why of course! Just have a seat i'll make us some tea and you can tell me what I can do for you." Aunty em answered.

"Amazing!" Silena said.

"Super." Clarisse mumbled. About ten minutes later all three women were enjoying tea at a table in Aunty Em's Garden.

"You know Aunty Em, I heard a story once and I would love to share it with you."

"Of course darling."

" Eons ago a young woman met a very powerful older man. Now the woman knew better than to be wrapped up with the likes of him and she stuck to that. After all she was the virgin priestess of a goddess."

"What-"

"Don't get me wrong she enjoyed the company but she never let go any farther than the hello and goodbye. Eventually the man was frustrated and took her, against her will, on the cold floor of the temple of her goddess."

"Who are you?" Aunty Em said in complete stillness.

"She cried for her goddess. She cried for the one being who was supposed to protect her and did this goddess hear her cries? No. When it was all over the goddess berated the woman, shamed her for what had happened, classic victim blaming, but then the worst part. The goddess weaved her magic and turned the woman who could have rivaled Helen of Troy in beauty into a monster that turned humans, animals, even mythical creatures into stone. And so alone she bore her curse until she was slain by hero after hero who only got the redacted version of the story." Silena finished. Tears were streaming down the face of aunty Em. She opened her mouth to speak but no word came out. Silena grabbed her hands.

"Take off the bonnet and shades."

" But you'll-"

"Trust me." Silena said with a smile. Slowly Aunty Em began removing her bonnet as well as her shades revealing snakes for hair all silent at the moment. Her removed shades revealed piercing green eyes, red and puffy from the tears she had shed."

"How are you not stone."

"No olympian magic has power over me or my friend here." Silena said as she motioned to Clarisse. Clarisse sat unmoving, two tears had run down her cheek as she looked Medusa in the eye.

"Do you remember a Demigod son of Poseidon? Around 600 years ago?"

"The one that was banished? Yes, Percy Jackson." Medusa answered.

"I'm honored you remember." A voice spoke in her mind.

"Jackson? What trickery is this?" Medusa said, wiping her tears.

"It's no trick I swear it on the River Styx. I'm talking into your mind. As you can see I've changed a great deal since we last met. I think I can reverse Athena's curse on you just follow the ladies on an errand and then they'll bring you back to my base where I'll get rid of it."

"How do I know I can trust you?" Medusa answered

"Besides the whole swearing on the Styx thing? I mean I thought the thunder would be a good indicator. But fine. Think of it as payback for what you did for me in Tartarus." Percy answered.

"I told you never to speak of it!"

"And I haven't so please just trust me?"

"Fine. What is this errand anyway."

"Oh I can answer that we're breaking into Olympus and rescuing Lady Hestia." Clarisse answered with a smile on her face. Medusa's jaw dropped in a comical manner.

"I see so you're completely insane."

"Nah we just have bones to pick and so do you." Silena said. At this Medusa looked at the girls who had matching devious smiles.

Jason Grace stood in the throne room of the Gods of Olympus. He marveled at how the removal of two thrones could make it feel so much smaller. Those thrones had belonged to his half siblings. Those who his ascension would help him get revenge for. It was in this empty room of thrones that Jason Grace swore never to lose again.

And boom that's the end of that chapter. Thank you so much for the reviews guy you don't know how warm it makes me feel and I'm not saying that i'm definitely implementing the stuff you suggest but I might not gonna lie, some of you are on the same page as me when it comes to the cool stuff you want to see.
