The demigods all sat together on one table and a couple of them were on top of the table.
"So let's figure out some ideas first then we can contact Hypnos and Hecate." Hazel said
Everybody nodded.
"Why are you, Nico, Will and Thalia sitting on top of the table?" Annabeth asked Percy
"It's fun." Will shrugged
The demigods chuckled.
"I had an idea." Annabeth said
"Sure go ahead." Percy grinned
"Maybe like she could visit the underworld is she wants during the spring for a few days and Demeter can be like a substitution for that day and take care of Persephone's duties. Once she comes back, she can do her duties again." Annabeth said
The demigods nodded.
"So all in favor of the idea?" Percy asked
The demigods raised their hands.
The gods looked at their children and saw their raised hands which meant that they agreed on something. That too without any disagreements. Those kids really got along very well.
"I had a similar idea." Rachel said
Annabeth grinned.
"Go ahead." She said
"As Annabeth said, this can be done for spring but for the winter, if she wants to visit the upper world then she can choose a day or two and visit. Those days can keep changing whether that be spring or winter." Rachel said
"That's good." Hazel said
"I have one too." Nico said
Everybody looked at him.
Nico raised an eyebrow but continued.
"Maybe we could somehow manage to put some artificial sunlight which could help grow some specific types of flowers so that dad doesn't miss his wife a lot during spring and Persephone won't miss the sunlight too much during the winter." Nico said
"That's pretty good." Lee grinned
"So maybe we can combine all of them. Like Rachel's and Annabeth's and Nico's into one idea?" Percy suggested
The demigods nodded.
"So everybody agrees with the ideas?" Will asked
Every single demigod raised their hand.
Percy hopped off the table and the demigods got up as well. They went to the gods.
"We have two ideas." Percy announced.
"Wow." Triton said in amazement
"So first is that during the spring, if Persephone wishes to visit the underworld then she can choose one to two days by week or month which is her choice and Demeter can be like a substitution teacher and do the duties of Persephone for those days and once Persephone comes back, she can do her duties again. Similarly during the winter, if she wishes to go to the Upper world then she can choose a day or two in the winter then she can." Rachel said
"The second is that we could add some artificial sunlight or light which would allow some growth of flowers like the ones which grow on earth. So this way Hades wouldn't miss his wife too much during the spring and Persephone won't miss the upper world during the winter." Will said
The demigods grinned.
The gods stared at their children. Some of them held pride in their eyes.
"So how do you like it?" Percy asked
"They're great." Hades smiled
The demigods cheered and high-fived each other.
"Zeus these should be implemented." Poseidon said
"NO! This goes against the way things have been happening from centuries!" Zeus said
"Well your paranoia goes against the well-being of everybody." Nico said. He'd had enough with Zeus' paranoia
The demigods roared with laughter.
"Nice one!" Percy said
Nico smirked.
Some of the gods were shaking with laughter. Zeus gaped furiously at Nico and Percy.
"They will be applied if the other gods agree with it. You have 17 gods here. Yes I have included Aunt Hestia, Uncle Hades, Persephone, Amphitrite and Triton. They deserve the right to vote in at least this. Take vote like you did when you wanted to kill me and Thalia." Percy said
The demigods nodded.
"Fine." Zeus said angrily
"Those who vote for these to not be implemented, raise your hand." Zeus said
Only he and Hera raised their hands. Even Demeter didn't raise her hand.
The demigods snickered.
"Well Zeus, looks like you have no choice." Percy smirked
Zeus scowled.
"You can go ahead with the ideas." He said
"Swear." Nico said
"Swear what?" Zeus scowled
"Swear on the River Styx to agree with the ideas, not go back on your word and to never find loopholes in the deal." Percy specified
The demigods grinned.
Nico fist-bumped him.
"You don't think I'm going to follow it?" Zeus asked angrily
"No." Jason said
Zeus frowned at his son.
"Fine I swear by the River Styx that I accept your conditions." Zeus said
Thunder boomed.
"That wasn't his thunder right?" Percy asked Thalia
"No." Thalia said
"The deal's made." Annabeth grinned
The demigods cheered. Nico just shook his head fondly and chuckled.
"So let's get stuff ready." Will said
The demigods looked at him.
"In the sense, how to do the artificial sunlight." Will said
"Magic I think." Silena said
"Another thing to ask Hecate then?" Hazel asked
"No. There will be books. I'll scope the library and tell you all." Annabeth said
Everybody nodded.
"Let's go contact Hecate and Hypnos." Pollux said
They all went and sent an Iris-Message.
"O'Iris, goddess of the rainbow, show me Hecate, goddess of witchcraft." Thalia said, throwing a coin into the mist.
The rainbow changed and they were shown Hecate.
"Lady Hecate." Hazel said
"Hazel Levesque. How come you're sending me an Iris Message?" Hecate asked, slightly amused
"We wanted some help ma'am. From you and Hypnos." Hazel said
Hecate nodded.
"Give me one second." She said
"HYPNOS! WAKE UP AND GET THE HECK DOWN HERE!" Hecate yelled
A sleepy voice came from nearby.
"I was asleep Hecate." The voice of Hypnos grumbled
"You're always asleep." Hecate said
The demigods chuckled.
"The demigods wanted to talk to us." Hecate said
"That's new." Hypnos said
They went in front of the Iris Message.
"Oh hey guys, you were the ones who got us cabins right?" Hypnos asked
"Yeah." Percy said
"It was Percy." Nico said
"No, it was all of us." Percy said sternly
The demigods chuckled.
"So how can we be of help?" Hypnos asked
"We um wanted to know how to block out thoughts from gods and monsters. Like sometimes they look at us and they can imagine what we think. It's disturbing." Travis said
Hypnos and Hecate looked at each other.
"We can help there." Hecate nodded
The demigods smiled.
"Though through Iris Messages… that's going to be very hard. You guys are going to have to visit us or we're going to have to visit you." Hypnos said
"They live in the underworld." Nico said
"We were planning on coming really." Percy said
"That's great then. You guys come once and we can visit the next." Hypnos said
"At camp?" Connor asked
"At Olympus. We can't come to camp much." Hypnos said
The demigods looked at each other and Will nodded. They all nodded at the two gods.
"Fine." Frank said
"Thank you." Hazel said
"It's quite okay. Glad to hear somebody who asks for our help." Hypnos said
The demigods smiled and cut the connection.
They went and told their parents what they discussed.
"So one lesson in the underworld and the rest at Olympus." Poseidon summarized
The demigods nodded.
"You can take more in the underworld if you want." Hades offered
"So many living people?" Pollux asked
"Yes." Hades said
"Cool then. Thanks uncle." Percy grinned
Hades smiled.
"I need a coffee." Nico declared
"Why?" Triton asked
"Thinking of those ideas and writing them in my brain, my brain hurts." Nico said
Everybody chuckled.
The demigods nodded.
The demigods started toward the café with the gods following. Hades ran and caught up with the demigods.
"Oh hey dad." Hazel said
The demigods looked at him.
"I wanted to say thank you." Hades said
"For what?" Percy asked, a little confused
"For coming up with the ideas and asking Zeus to agree." Hades said
"You don't have to thank us for something like that." Jason said
Hades looked a little confused.
"That was something minor that could've been done before but Zeus would never agree." Percy clarified
Hades smiled.
They all just grinned and raced towards the café.
"I love running." Thalia said once they reached
The demigods nodded.
They all went inside.
"Hey guys." Hugo greeted him.
"Man that coffee I bought from you a couple of days ago in the middle of the night was awesome!" Percy said
Hugo winked.
"I so agree." Nico said
Hugo grinned.
"So what do you guys want today?" Hugo asked
"Uh cold coffee for us." The demigods said
"We'll have lattes." The gods said
Hugo nodded and got the coffees ready.
"Any dessert?" he asked
"Apple pie, brownies and vanilla ice cream." Will said
Hugo grinned.
"Brilliant." He said
Will grinned.
Hugo got the order ready and gave it to them.
"Thank you." Percy said
"No problem. It's 30 drachmas." Hugo said
Percy grinned and gave him the drachmas.
Hugo smiled and the demigods and gods left.
They all went inside the throne room and enjoyed the coffees, apple pie, brownies and vanilla ice cream.
"I'll read." Hermes said and picked up the last book of the first war.
"PERCY JACKSON AND THE LAST OLYMPIAN." He read out and opened the first chapter.
