Annabeth

'How?' That was the question on Annabeth's mind when her mother changed her outfit, power, and title. At first, Annabeth really did think that her mother wasn't going to win. Medusa's blessing from Gaea made her the goddess slayer. But when Athena was blessed by the Fates, it was a miracle. Once the battle was over, Athena passed out.

"Mom." Her and her siblings cried. Poseidon put his hand on her forehead.

"She's fine, she's just tired." Poseidon explained. Annabeth let out a sigh of relief. Hera was glaring at Athena.

"How can she be the queen? I'm Zeus' wife." Hera asked Rhea.

"Simple, brush the hair off the back of her neck." Rhea said. Poseidon did as told and he turned pale. He was speechless, and when Annabeth saw her mother's, she could see why Poseidon was pale. 'Mom was marked.'

"That is why." Rhea said. Everyone looked at her to continue. Rhea looked at the sky and shook her head.

"I'm still forbidden to tell you. I'll say this though. Before any of the gods were born, the Fates came to me and only me. Themselves, in person, they told me a prophecy about two pairs of royalty. One pair god, one pair demi-god. I shall tell you the prophecy when they are completed." Rhea explained.

"But how can we complete it when we don't know it?" Annabeth asked.

"Child, the prophecy has already started and by the time this war is over, it shall be completed. This prophecy doesn't need to be told to be completed." Rhea explained.

Everyone groaned.

"Don't blame me, I swear to the Fates themselves, and if I break it, it will be worse than the River Styx." Rhea said. Everyone gulped.

"Well, we should get Athena to the big house." Aphrodite said. Everyone looked at her.

"What? She's the Queen. The last thing we need is for her to wake up on the ground." Aphrodite explained. Everyone nodded. Apollo and Poseidon put their arms under Athena's shoulders and knees.

"One, two, three, lift." Apollo said. They lift Athena up and tried to stand up. But Apollo lost his grip on her.

"Ouch, do you have her?" Apollo asked after landing face first on the ground. Poseidon had Athena carefully in his arms.

"Yeah, she's fine." Poseidon said. Everyone went to the big house and laid Athena on the bed.

"Ok Mother, what else can you tell us?" Hades asked.

"Well, the Fates are giving me permission to say a few things. We need a meeting." Rhea said.

"We're already in a meeting." Percy said. Annabeth was sitting on her mother's bed. 'Mom what's going on?' Annabeth prayed. Athena didn't move expect for her chest moving as she breathed.

"Point taken, very well, sit down." Rhea ordered. Everyone sat.

"One day, I was in my garden. Kronos gave it to me to make me happy. Kronos and the other titans were somewhere and I don't care. I was just sitting there and then I saw a light. Coming down were the Fates themselves. Like Hail Mary in the Catholic region, the Fates chose me. They said, 'Rhea, you shall give birth to the greatest gods. Their King will be...' if I say that part it will give away the prophecy. They continued with the Queen, 'The Queen will be beautiful, strong, and wise. She will find out the truth about who the King is.' That was the Queen's section. If I told you that..." Rhea explained.

"Mom would have figured it out." Annabeth said.

"Like mother, like daughter. Anyway, they then started talking about the King and Queen of the Demi-Gods. 'The child of the gods, only two will be crown. They shall go far with love and strength. Protect them, and watch them, Rhea. For they are more powerful than any other demigods to ever live.' Then the Fates told me the prophecy. It was huge, longer than any other prophecy Apollo could think of. And the Fates made it so that Apollo couldn't even hear it. I'm the only one who knows it. That is why I can't tell you the prophecy until it has been completed. One more thing, the King and Queen of the gods must destroy one of their creations." Rhea explained.

"So Athena destroyed Medusa, and whoever's the King is must destroy his creation?" Leo asked.

"Yep. We just have to wait for Athena." Rhea explained. Piper was looking at Athena carefully.

"She has a ring." Piper said.

"What?" Everyone asked.

"Look." Piper said. She lifted Athena's left hand and everyone saw Athena's ring. Everyone gasped.

"I see, the Fates want to make it clear that whoever the King is, Mom's his wife." Annabeth explained.

"You truly are your mother's daughter. Yes, you're right. When the King is found out by Athena, Athena will no longer be a maiden." Rhea explained. Hera glared at Athena and pushed Piper and Annabeth off of Athena's bed. Annabeth and Piper cursed as Percy helped Annabeth up and Jason did the same with Piper.

"This is my crown." Hera yelled and reached for Athena's crown. The crown shot a beam of power from the Opal gem and Hera was sent back against the door.

"Not anymore Hera. You are no longer the Queen of the Heavens." Hestia said.

"But Zeus is still King and I'm his wife." Hera yelled. 'Idiot, didn't she listen to Rhea?' Annabeth thought.

"Zeus is no longer the King of the Gods. He never was." Rhea explained. Zeus materialized in front of the campers and yelled,

"What?"

"You are no longer the King. You never were." Rhea repeated. Zeus growled and pointed his lightning bolt at Athena.

"That won't happen." Zeus said and fired. Poseidon placed his hand in front of the lightning and when the blast of lightning finally ended, Poseidon's hand was perfectly fine. Annabeth looked at Percy who was just as shocked as herself. Zeus grabbed Poseidon's shirt and pointed his lightning bolt at him.

"Out of my way." Zeus ordered. Poseidon didn't move. It was easy to do because Poseidon was half a head taller than his brother. Hades, Demeter, and Hestia made sure that everyone was behind them. Rhea was in front of Athena.

"Move or else." Zeus ordered. Poseidon didn't move, he stood his ground and kept glaring. Annabeth could see a hint of fear in Zeus' eyes.

"If you don't move in two seconds, I'm going to make you into tempura shrimp." Zeus said.

"You know, you're no longer the King so the person with the highest power here is Athena. But since she still passed out, Mother is the only one who could order us. Plus, your powers don't affect me." Poseidon explained. Zeus turned to the demi-gods and said,

"Attack him and her." No one moved.

"I'll kill all of you." Zeus snarled and Hera joined his side.

"Hurt any of them and you'll never breathe again." Poseidon yelled. His voice made the earth shake. Everyone could tell where Percy got his strong loyalty. Poseidon was willing to protect them, even if he had to fight two very powerful gods.

"Zeus, leave now. Or I will let your brother fight you." Rhea warned. Zeus started shaking and let go of Poseidon's shirt.

"I'll leave, but if you lose this war Poseidon, I'll..." Zeus started until everyone heard a weak,

"Stop." Everyone's head turned and looked at Athena. She was trying to sit up and she held her stomach. 'The wounds from the battle must still hurt her.' Annabeth thought.

"Stop fighting. It has no purpose. Just leave and when you two are willing to fight in the war, then come back." Athena ordered as she winced. She was paler then usual but her glare made everyone flinch. Zeus and Hera were in the corner of the room as Athena stood up. She limped to the end of the bed. She was back in her jeans and blouse. Athena kept herself from collapsing by holding onto the foot board.

"Athena, I'm your father and..." Zeus started.

"If you're a father, then why aren't you with your children? Why aren't you trying to protect your family? You haven't done anything to help or protect us. You tried to kill everyone while a real father does everything for his family. If you're my father, then where's my mother? That's right you ate your own, pregnant wife." Athena yelled. Zeus flinched and started.

"Athena, it was for..."

"Don't you dare finish that sentence. I was only with her until I was a fully grown woman. And when I come out of your head, I don't have one single memory of her, not one." Athena yelled. 'Really, Mom doesn't remember Métis?' Annabeth mentally asked.

"Athena, I..." Zeus started.

"Just leave and don't come back until you can fight for us." Athena ordered. Zeus and Hera finally left. Athena started to breathe heavy again.

"Mom, you ok?" Annabeth asked. Athena smiled and lied,

"Never been better." Then her knees buckled. Athena would have hit her head on the floor if Poseidon and Ares didn't catch her.

"Thanks, I'm going back to bed." Athena said, and crawled back into bed.

"How much did you hear?" Jason asked.

"The prophecy and then on." Athena said.

"You were awake the whole time?" Reyna asked.

"Pretty much." Athena said, giggling when she saw everyone's faces. Then a little, pint size, warrior busted through the door and jumped on Athena's stomach.

"Grandma, you're all better." Lucy said.

"Well, not one hundred percent so can you get off of Grandma's stomach please?" Athena asked. Lucy frowned and did as she was told.

"Sorry, Grandma." Lucy whispered. Athena patted Lucy's head and said,

"Its fine, I'm just a bit sore. I'll be back to normal after a night sleep." Lucy smiled and nodded. Percy picked up Lucy and said,

"I guess we'll leave then to sleep." Everyone nodded and left Athena so she could sleep.
