Athena

'So, they're trying to escape the Underworld.' Athena thought. The new Queen stared at the two demigods. The daughter of Aphrodite was normal but she was asleep. The son of Hephaestus was fully awake and had his arms around the girl. Athena looked at Aphrodite, who had tears in her eyes. Hephaestus smiled and helped his son up. Athena smiled when Aphrodite crushed the demigod couple in a hug.

"Aphrodite, you're suffocating your daughter." Demeter said. Aphrodite got out of the hug and asked,

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah, for now. Luke, we have some problems." Beckendorf said. Luke turned pale.

"Like what?" He asked.

"Something really bad." Beckendorf said. Everyone started talking at once until Lupa howled.

"We shall talk about this during the camp fire. I think everyone must hear this." Athena said.

Soon dinner came and ended. The campers were around the campfire as Hestia kept it going.

"Tell us what happened." Poseidon ordered.

"Well, after Luke left, Silena and I waited." Beckendorf said.

"We reached the gates and then, water came bursting through the gates." Silena said.

"It wasn't a lot, but it made it harder to get to the gates." Beckendorf said. 'Water? Amphitrite, Poseidon's been here all day, so it must be her and her son, Triton.' Athena decided. Everyone looked at Poseidon.

"I didn't do it. I was here all day." Poseidon said. Everyone nodded, because he was here all day. So was Percy.

"But who else has your powers?" Ares asked. Poseidon turned pale. Athena could tell that Poseidon found out the truth. A giggle ran through the camp, which turned into a laugh.

"こんにちは、神人神." A female voice rang. 'Hello, demigods? Who would speak Japanese?' Athena thought.

"Come and get me, gods. You'll live if you join us." The voice said. Everyone was looking around, searching for the voice.

"Come home, with me. Be with your real family." She said again. Poseidon looked around and said,

"You know that never works on Me."

"I don't know about that." She chided.

"Stop hiding and show yourself, Amphitrite." Poseidon yelled.

"No, that ruins all the fun." Amphitrite said. It was like she was a recording and she wasn't here.

"Persephone, you can't keep your husband at bay, can you? Join Gaea, I'll make you the lady in waiting of The Queen. And that is me." Amphitrite offered.

"You're mad. You think that Gaea will win?" Persephone yelled.

"I know she will. Medusa was just the first, just wait until I get my blessing. For now, Triton, charge." Amphitrite ordered. One more laugh and the earth bounds attacked with the heir of the sea leading them. Poseidon stepped in front of everyone and yelled,

"Triton, what have you done?"

"Do you like it, Father? This army, under my command. I will finally get my throne and rule the sea the way it's supposed to be ruled, with an iron fist. You turned soft, Old Man. I waited since you told me I was your heir to take that throne. I was patient, waiting for Gaea, and now I will take that throne. I'll be the King of the Sea and I'll never let anyone take that away from me." Triton said.

"Stop this, Triton. You don't need this. Gaea is using you. She'll never have any use for you if she wins. But what will happen if she loses? Think for once, my boy." Poseidon said. Triton growled and said,

"This is the side to be on." He raised his sword and yelled,

"For Gaea." His army charged at the demi-gods and gods.

Athena finished her tenth earthbound when every one of the earth bounds was dead. Triton was still fighting Poseidon. 'Please win.' Athena prayed. Something was different with Triton. He kept smiling and he was still fighting. He was covered with sweat over his blue skin.

Poseidon hit Triton in the head with the staff of his trident. Triton landed on the ground but kept smiling. Everyone was watching, but they didn't interfere. This was Poseidon's fight.

"Yield." Poseidon said. Triton laughed and said,

"Old Man, you're crazy. Protecting these worthless demi-gods, you can do better. Join me and Mother, and we can be a family again." Triton said.

"I'll never do that." Poseidon promised. Triton shrugged and a voice behind Athena said,

"Shoot yourself." A sword was coming at Athena's forehead and almost went through her. But a body took the blow. 'No, please, no.' Athena begged. The body coughed up blood that landed on Athena, along with more gold ichors. Poseidon took the attack and the sword of his ex-wife went straight through his chest. Everyone gasped and tears rolled down Athena's cheeks for the first time. The greatest of the gods, the True King of the Gods collapsed in Athena's arms, barely breathing and bleeding.
