Authors Note- Obviously, some time has passed since my last update… Let me say that I am glad to be back behind the storyboard. Life happened a took me away from it but I plan on finishing this story the right way. Life and review also I'm thinking of another pairing to incorporate into this story so give me some ideas in the reviews. Enjoy the chapter.

The next morning a council meeting was called by the king of gods, it was early and Aiode was still fast asleep. Percy took a minute to change his clothes and get dressed before brushing his teeth and then flashing into the throne room. He took a seat in his simple throne and looked around the room before noticing that he and Zeus were the only ones in the room.

As a few seconds turned into a minute Percy turned to Zeus before summoning 2 glasses and a bottle of red wine before approaching the god and summoning an oak table with some fixings for breakfast upon it and sitting on the chair he summoned in his human form before asking the god if he would care to join him.

Zeus looked down at his nephew before stepping off his throne and shrinking down to his smaller structure of 6'4". Before sitting down and grabbing one of the glasses in Percy's outstretched hand and taking a sip. That was when Percy started "You didn't invite the other council members, can I ask why?"

Zeus took a long drink before replying "I was wondering how you were enjoying your time on Olympus nephew."

Percy could feel his nerves biting him within his stomach but he tried his best to keep a calm demeanor in front of his superior, He scratched the back of his neck before saying "I miss Annabeth and half the time it feels wrong that I have chosen to move on with the Muse Aiode. She is wonderful and I am developing some serious feelings for her but I still can't help but feel guilty, you know?

Zeus laughed heartily. Percy's nerves dissipated before Zeus finished and the king said "I understand the struggle young god. I to was faced with the choice of bachelorhood or marriage when I was young and obviously I chose the latter. You seem like the type to do the same, though I feel that you are a better man than me in the terms of you being willing to be with this one woman. If I may ask, how did you meet her?"

"It was at the celebration for me accepting godhood. She was like a trance and has been ever since." Percy said with a lopsided smile heat rising to his cheeks.

Zeus smiled at the young god before grabbing one of the pieces of bacon from the plate in front of him and saying "I was like that when I first laid eyes upon Hera." she was close friends with Hades at the time and this was before the first Titan war was over."

Percy said, "That long ago, huh?" in a joking way.

Zeus looked glumly at his younger counterpart before saying "Hey, I'm not that old!"

"Dude you are literally ancient mythology," Percy said kindheartedly before standing up and extending his hand to the god across from him to shake before saying "Speaking of my goddess I best get back and make her breakfast as well before she wakes up."

Zeus smiled and took his nephew's hand before thanking him for the food and trusting him with his "stressors." Percy knew that it was all a lie and just a cover for what was really eating away at him. The true thing that was bothering him wasn't his new girlfriend, it was his betrayal of his uncle, his moves to usurp his power. His plans to take down someone who had stood at the forefront of the gods for so long, the god himself can't put a date on the time he has worn the crown.

Percy went back to his throne and sat down before flashing back into the kitchen of his palace where he started cooking. He grabbed a dozen eggs out of his refrigerator as well as the 2 percent milk that resided next to them. He found cheddar cheese in the dairy/ meat drawer and took the thick-sliced ham as well. He opened the produce drawer and grabbed spinach, an onion, and some green and red bell peppers before closing his fridge and moving to his spice rack and grabbing salt, pepper, dill, chili powder, and some garlic flakes.

He grabbed a bowl and cracked 2 eggs into it before pouring about half a cup of milk into it. He then mixed his seasonings into it before pouring it out into a flat pan. And starting to cook the eggs on a low setting. He then quickly diced the peppers, onion, and ham before turning back to the egg, which had by then cooked through and adding his ingredients to the middle of the egg before slicing some cheese and putting it on top before folding it over and putting it on a plate. (how to make an omelet 101)

He grabbed a mug and poured some coffee into it before walking back into his bedroom and seeing his girlfriend still tangled in the sheets rubbing her eyes as he stepped up to her and served her breakfast before sitting next to her. On the bed and then rubbing his eyes and laying over her lap. She lifted her plate fast enough for him to not crush her food before she looked him in his sea-green eyes before giggling and putting the plate down on his chest and saying where did you go?"

"Zeus wanted to see how I was adjusting to the "Olympian lifestyle," Percy said with a laugh.

Aiode's face fell before Percy reassured her "I told him that I was having girl problems rather than the truth."

Aiode's fallen face turned into an annoyed look and she said "Oh?"

Percy saw the trap right after he walked into it and he tried his best to save himself while he could by saying "It wasn't true. I just knew Zeus could talk ladies all day while ignoring every problem in the face of the world, like having breakfast with a usurper."

She looked at her boyfriend for a second speculatively before seemingly being satisfied with his answer and continuing to enjoy her breakfast. Once she was finished with her breakfast, Percy sat up and asked what she had on her plate for the day. It was an easy-going day for her while Percy had to start a war and find a way to drive Zeus from Olympus and he was pretty sure he had an idea of how to accomplish that. But first, he would have to speak to his advisors in the form of Poseidon and Hades about the content of his plans

So he went ahead and flashed to DOA recording studios and started his descent into the underworld. Not much has changed since he was 12. He walked up to Charon and handed him a coin before accessing hell or the underworld or whatever the 'hell' you call it, haha get it?

Once he was in the underworld he beelined for the king's palace and flung the throne room doors open exposing the king of hell, his wife, and his son. Percy was intrigued by Nico's presence but wasnt offset by it, he just looked to the god in front of him and said to him are you ready to come with me to the real hell?"

Hades looked at his nephew in a distant way and said "No, but do I have a choice?"

Percy had a devilish grin on his face before calling upon his father in the form of prayer with the same question. Within the minute Poseidon was in front of him clad in battle armor with his signature trident in hand. Once Hades stepped off his throne his slick black suit morphed into his armor and his helm of darkness materialized under his left arm and a stygian iron spear in his other hand. Nico also decided to stand from his chair and fall into rank behind Percy. The four of them moved in unison, battle-ready and in a diamond formation ready to defend from all sides before hades reached for Percy and his son, and subsequently, Percy grabbed onto his fathers and his friend's shoulders before they were all locked together and then a shadow swallowed them.

The feeling of shadow travel was still unique to Percy, the cold hands of death that seemed to lift him and move him with his allies through time and space. The distortion of moving through shadow seemed to tear him apart and move him one particle at a time and then reshaped him in his form instantly. If he were still mortal he would have puked but now he was a god, in the leagues of the great Olympians and he wouldn't be brought to his knees via way of godly travel.

That might sound a bit egotistical and in a way it was. He was a god and soon to be a king, he had to be a leader and stand tall through all situations, especially in front of the likes of his father and his uncle. The strongest of his followers. He had to show that he was stronger than them to prevent an attempt at his throne down the line. This was the life of a king and he hated it but he couldn't sit idly by while he was capable of improving the lives of his fellow demigods and gods alike. He couldn't disregard what was his soul purpose during his mortal life. He couldn't let go of what he believed while he was a mortal because that would mean losing all sense of who he is at all. Something that has lead many gods to fade over the millennia, and lead many gods to become twisted versions of themselves.

Once his head cleared of thoughts of vomit and quite a bit of self analyzation he opened his eyes and smelled the familiar and tortuous smell of sulfur and the distant screams of the damned. He turned to his compatriots and noticed they all were looking around in awe. In Nico's case, he had never been to Tartarus. Hades just hadn't been in a few centuries and was surprised to see that it still looked the same and Posiden had also never visited, his nose was scrunched up in disgust as he knelt and felt the red sand under his foot, as he felt it he realized that it was made out of red glass. As he let it slip from his hand golden cuts marked their way down his hand before he stood up and turned to Percy.

All eyes were on him now. Percy sighed and said, "are you guys ready?" They all nodded and followed Percy as he headed towards the nearest mountain, they watched as a single bird flew over it and they saw their target. Prometheus, the titan of foresight and council.

The environment seemed to cripple their collective power beginning them all down to the level of a minor god and in Nico's case, a mortal. As they trudged on they came across a few monsters that all seemed to cower in fear of their Aura despite their current power levels, They decided to leave them alone. They were not their mission. Prometheus was, And as they crept closer and closer to the tortured titan they noticed the monsters becoming more and more scarce, and the sand that they walked upon slowly became more grainy and seemed to resemble obsidian.

When they were finally in the eyesight of the titan they saw that he was not only tied to the post, as described by the legends, no he was Crucified. Looking at him from a distance he did not look like what Percy remembered from his visit with him in his dream before the final battle of the titan war. He looked more like the Christian description of Jesus. Rags draped around his body in what Percy assumed used to be a toga. The stomach area of the white fabric was drenched in fresh Ichor. They continued forward until they were within 10 feet of the titan before stopping when the titan looked at them and said "Took long enough."

Percy was confused for a second before realizing that this was the titan of foresight and remembering the conversation that was ahead of him. After waiting for another second to see if the titan would say anything else he spoke up "You know why we are here?"

The titan showed a golden smirk, and no that is not a compliment on the titan's smile. There was just enough blood to stain his teeth and his beard gold. "I've had quite some time to think over your offer, I thought it would come quickly after the Second Titan War but you surprise even me."

Percy gave a slight smirk before responding with "well? What is your answer?"

Prometheus' smirk turned into a full-blown grin before replying with "If what you are trying to do is what I have seen then without a doubt, yes." The titan had seen this all before the second titan war had even started and needed things to work out exactly as they had in order for this moment; his chance at freedom, to actually occur. So while he had been apart of the titans' side during the war and had probably been the cause of death for multiple demigods, he did what he had to, and Percy knew that based on what he knew about the titan's powers. Percy knew that he would be joining for a purely selfish reason, and based on the sight in front of him, he had a good reason to.

Percy asked, "Will you swear fealty to me, to serve as one of my advisors, and to serve my kingdom once I have taken Olympus?"

Prometheus responded, "I Swear on the Styx to serve you and your kingdom from this day until I Fade."

Percy nodded and looked to the others as they stepped up to the titan and pulled him off of the cross, his hands tore as they were pulled off of the celestial bronze nails, and the screams of true pain echoed around them as they lowered him from the cross. What Zeus had done to this titan… Forgiving humans fire, was disturbing, to say the least. It was a punishment that didn't fit his crimes and Percy was going to correct that error within the month, at least he would be trying to.

Once the titan was down at floor level everyone grabbed onto Hades outstretched hand as he pulled them from the depths of hell and back to his palace. Once there two of Hade's undead servants took the titan to the medical bay.

After the titan was out of the throne room that they were standing in, his father looked to him and asked "Are you sure this is the right call?"

Percy didn't respond for a second before saying "I sure hope so."
