Time skip here, and a lot of interesting things. I have never showed all of the gods, so I wanted to try...

December 21st

Six months and one week since Aaron joined the Greeco-Roman World.

"Are you ready, Aaron?" Dionysius asked, looking at the shivering boy who looked ready to piss himself. Aaron was wrapped in a professional looking velvet suit, looking trim and svelte and as prepared as one could when going to meet the Olympians. He had really cleaned up, losing probably forty pounds of fate since he first came to the camp, putting on another fifteen in muscle making him fill out his suit nicely. He radiated a subtle, weak magic born from the magic now stored in his flesh and soul. It wasn't demigod worthy but still impressive and notable.

Nodding, the very pale Aaron managed to look up from his feet. "I think so."

"Good, we leave in a minute.."

"I can't believe it took almost three months to even get a meeting to ask about my Shrine to Hades and Persephone. You'd think I would be more prepared for it, but I feel terrified."

Dionysius put a hand on the boy's shoulder. "I will protect you as best I can, as will Hades I imagine since his presence has been requested. That should be enough to keep you safe."

" I hope so."

"That is all you can do... now, it is time to depart. Give me your hand." Aaron did as he asked, putting his hand in Dionysius'. With a tiny surge of power, The God of the Vine teleported them both, speeding through the air at blinding speeds. The scent of his magic... grapes, wine and madness filled the air around them as they sped through the air, moving closer and closer to their target...

Mount Olympus.

Within a solid minute they touched down at the bridge of Olympus, that which bound the Mortal and Immortal worlds together. The moment they landed, Aaron stumbled and shuddered, wide eyed and more pale then normal.

"That was brutal. How can you tolerate that?"

"Hehe, experience and divine blood. Now, follow me and be quiet. You've shaken things up quite a bit, not everyone is happy about it. You have made some enemies." He kept his tone low, genuine and only a little fearful. "Many are eager to kill you or worse."

Aaron cringed. "I can only imagine... I'll be good."

Aaron followed Dionysius as they walked through the beauty of Mount Olympus. It was beautiful, radiant and oozed magic on a scale that he had never come across. No single god could compare to the raw power he felt, the power that instantly filled his magical reserves and left him almost flush. Still he kept quiet and meandered along side Mr. D and took count of all he saw. There were countless minor gods and nymphs, temples sprinkling the mountain side, people trying to sell ambrosia on a stick and other such things. Gold and Silver and Marble filled every square inch he could see.

However, what drew his attention most was that glances the many minor gods threw his way. There was nothing angry or hateful about it, but a sense of confusion and curiosity. A few seemed less then pleased, they were the more beautiful and less human of the gods, ones the imagined were of Aphrodite's line... Many looked outright sad, for some reason. A look that bordered on pity.

Still, he did not react to any of them as they moved towards a massive set of doors that oozed the greatest power. It took a few minutes to reach them but when they did, Dionysius pushed them open with a wave of his hand, Aaron following him inside.

His skin immediately went from flush to full on feverish. He shook, his head aching from the raw diverse power he was sensing. Respectfully he kept his head down, not wanting to piss anyone off just yet.

"Dionysius, your just on time." The voice was stern, powerful and smooth. "Boy, look up at us." The command was strong and so he obeyed.

Aaron looked up and gained first glimpse at the Olympian council.

First was Zeus dressed in his dark pin-striped suit, his black beard neatly trimmed, and his eyes sparking with energy. He radiated dominate power, the might of the Sky. He was handsome, in an older sort of way, but there was a sheen of arrogance that left him wanting. Aaron realized that his natural dislike of the hypocritical man only made him seem uglier.

Next to him sat a beautiful woman with dark brown hair braided over one shoulder and a lovely form fitting white dress, this was the Lady Hera. She was almost as potent as her husband only her magic was smoother, softer and eased his every worry as he felt it wash off of her. She was an utterly radiant beauty, even for a Deity.

To Zeus' right was Poseidon, looking like an older Percy. He was wearing a blue shirt and orange beach shorts, his trident sitting in what looked like a cup holder. His power, that of the worlds oceans, washed against Aarona dn soothed the feverish feel of the collective.

Next to him, a huge lump of a man with a leg in a steel brace, a misshapen head, and a wild brown beard, fire flickering through his whiskers. The Lord of the Forges, Hephaestus. Aaron wanted to study him more, mostly out of respect but also curiosity. He had a rare amount of respect for the man, his hard work and only a handful of awful deeds... the man was someone to admire.

Next to Hephaestus was Hermes, who looked not very happy. He was wearing a business suit today, checking messages on his caduceus mobile phone. He was almost as hateful in his stare as Zeus was, and Aaron had no idea why.

Then there was Apollo, leaning back in his golden throne with his shades on. He had iPod headphones on, but there was an odd focus to his posture that made Aaron wonder of if he was paying more attention then he let one.

Dionysus had at some point moved to his throne, leaning forward with a soft smile on his lips.

Then there was Ares who sat on his chrome-and-leather throne, smirking hatefully.

Lastly on the male side there was Hades, sitting on a throne of sheer shadow, he seemed annoyed and confused but when he saw Aaron's face he smiled softly. He looked especially handsome in his velvet suit, this time he had a beard on making him look all the wiser.

On the ladies' side of the throne room, a dark-haired goddess in green robes sat next to Hera on a throne woven of apple-tree branches. Demeter, Goddess of the Harvest. Her power was less then Hera's but oddly more comforting and rich, he felt the might of the Earth itself in her. His magic, that of the Earth as well, felt inspired and strong. He knew he liked her in that moment.

Next to her sat a beautiful gray-eyed woman in an elegant white dress. She could only be Annabeth's mother, Athena. She looked extra serious and very, very cold.

Artemis was next, radiating silver light of the moon. She nodded to him, smiling ever so slightly.

Then there was Aphrodite, who resembled... well Meggy but also Aaron himself. She had his hair and Charlie's skin and Meggy's smile and Percy's beautiful green eyes. She was incredible, breathtaking and painful. However there was no love in her eyes, only bored coldness.

"Aaron Mathews, you were summoned to Olympus for a few reasons. " Zeus started. "For one, you have asked permission to craft a Shrine to a NonOlympian in my camp. Is this true?"

Aaron nodded. "Yes sir, I wish to make a Shrine to Lord Hades and Lady Persephone." He saw Hades' eyes light up, a smile almost ripping across his face. Clearly he hadn't been told.

"Why?" The smile on Hades' face turned sour and he glared at his brother.

"Because they are long overdue that kind of respect. Your brother is the King of the Underworld, his wife the Queen. They take care of a near infinite number of mortal souls, including all of your collective demigod children and legacies. He is one of the Big Three, an immeasurably powerful force, and he is to be respected. His wife, your daughter Persephone, is a force on her own with sway over the Earth and Heavens. She plays a massive part in the Human life cycle and that deserves to be honored.

I can manage that, easily. It wouldn't take much and it would heal the the damage and judgement towards the children of the Underworld and those not of the Underworld. A damage that causes bullying, abuse and fear. None of which is deserved. If I can heal that gap, the I would be all too honored to do so."

Silence, and then Athena leaned forward. "You speak well, but do you now fear Hades as so many do? There is a reason for the dislike of him, it is not pure instinct or nonsense, death is final and unfair and terrifying to most."

"No My Lady, I do not fear him. I never have. I respect him, understand he is dangerous as I do any other being more powerful then I am, but I do not fear him. He does a vital job, one that needs to be done and he does it well despite the strain. I think he deserves to be honored, so that is what I am aiming for."

Zeus scowled, but before he could say a word, Hera spoke up. "Your devotion is remarkable, but are you being paid for this or bribed?" She turned and scowled at a very annoyed Hades.

Demeter joined her in that scowl. " That sounds like what that fiend would do." The other gods muttered in agreement.

Aaron was done with their crap already. " I swear by Styx that I never consulted him, asked him or was asked by him to complete or suggest this project. I swear that it is entirely my idea." Thunder rippled around them, signaling the truth in his words. "He is the only god to hold fast to the Oath you all forced him into, why hate him for having money and riches?" Maybe he should not have asked that, but he was annoyed and he hated bullies. He knew what it was like to be the black sheep.

"Are you suggesting we are being intolerant?" Athena asked, her tone almost offended.

"Yes, I am. In your collective history he has committed no crimes, no deeds to make anyone but Demeter hate him. There is literally no reason to not allow me to make this shrine. It would help a lot of people and help acclimate a decent god back into the collective fold. I can see no downfall here, no issues, no reason not to do this."

Artemis reached over and stopped a very angry Athena from lashing out. "Still yourself, sister. He is not wrong, bias has always been our downfall and it may be the same here."

Athena turned to her. "You would tolerate being called intolerant?"

"I was recently reminded that judging without thought is the act of a fool, something I refuse to be." She stood, gesturing to Aaron. "This boy has saved a collective eight demigods, one of which became one my Hunters. He, a mere mortal, saved your collective children. He inspired the children of Aphrodite to train themselves better, so they would not suffer a nightmarish fate at the hands of mortals or monsters. He created a garden to honor those fallen in Asphodel, helping a countless many in the Underworld. He has done many, many a service all on his own.

He speaks with wisdom and honor and we would be foolish to ignore him out of past hate and ignorance. Hades should never have been isolated and hated, pushed aside out of fear. It was wrong of us, collectively, and as a collective we should work to better ourselves and make amends while we can."

Poseidon nodded. "I agree, there has been too much hatred towards our older brother, I move to allow the boy to create the shrine and honor Hades and Persephone as is only proper."

"Why not, sis seems passionate about this." Apollo snarked out.

Hera sniffed at them all. "It would not be proper, he doesn't even have a cabin in the camp."

"Then give him one. " Aaron replied, catching Hera's attention. "He deserves one, so why not? You have no kids and have one, why shouldn't he?"

Hera's eyes were filled with curiosity. "You speak with some clarity... very well, I give my approval. Let this meeting be over with."

Dionysius clapped once. "I see no issue with this, I approve of both a cabin and a shrine to be made for Hades and Persephone."

Hermes, who leaned forward next, looked conflicted. "I want to deny him, he killed my son... however I lead the dead to the Afterlife, I know how important Hades is. I approve."

"He is a scoundrel and a monster, I do not approve." Demeter said. "However, feel free to make my Daughter any shrine you wish. She deserves more recognition."

Ares just shrugged. "I don't care either way."

Athena just sighed. "Fine, I approve."

Lastly there was Aphrodite, who was still looking at Aaron with a steely discomfort. "The boy is a pervert, asexual like that Hipplylotus. He is also taking care of my disgusting daughter, Meggy. I cannot tolerate ugliness, so I cannot tolerate him. I disapprove."

Zeus frowned. "The vote is in favor of granting Hades and Persephone their shrine, however as they are not Olympians I will not allow a cabin to be made. That is my decision." Thunder rumbled around them, signaling the end of the discussion.

Aaron bowed low. "Thank you, Lord Zeus."

The god brushed off his thanks. "Leave and be quick about it."

"I will take him home, Brother." Hades said, a human sized clone of him rising from his shadow. " I have some specificities about my Shrine I would like to talk to him about anyway."

Zeus just shrugged. "So be it."

And with that, Hades led Aaron from the room. The moment they reached a shadowy area, Hades turned to him with the warmest smile he was capable of. " You are amazing, you know that?"

"Yes but feel free to tell me more."

The God laughed. "No one has ever tried, bar my children, to grant me greater honor or worship. I cannot thank you enough for that."

Aaron blushed. "I appreciate that but really it was something you were due." Aaron leaned in and whispered. " Your the god I respect most."

The man's smiled deepened. "And for that I cannot fully express my gratitude ... now, I know have your own goals for this project. I only ask that Bone are a theme in in, as are Pomegranates. If that is possible, that is all I ask."

"Then it shall be done."

"Good,good... now, if that is all, I need to send you home... oh wait, one last thing. It is time you start visiting them. I will send you a signal to where they are, but only after construction is done. Now, if that is all... goodbye."

The man waved his hand and shadows erupted around Aaron, taking him back to Camphalfblood.

Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.

This was so much fun.

Love, your Ninja Overlord,

Mika.
