Shocking Revelations

Previously…

"Yeah! And what's wrong with all of you?" Chris said turning to the councilors of the minor gods. "He brought your parents the honor and respect they deserve. He got you cabins built for all of you and your parents. He got them to claim you and moved you out of the Hermes cabin. You act as if he never did any of that!"

All the demigods pondered their words and had looks of uncertainty on their faces.

"Hey guys! Don't listen to them. I saw with my own eyes Percy doing all those things. I heard him say all those negative thinks about you all too!" Zane said with a smug grin as they began to nod their heads.

When that boy said those words, there seemed to be a sort of yellow-whitish glow around him. It was faint, barely even there, but still enough for me to see. What was that? I was torn out of my thoughts when I heard my father yell.

"ZANE ANTHONY SKYE! What have you done?"

Now…

Third Person POV

Everyone in the throne room turned to look at the King of the Gods in shock. The Olympians were use to his frequent outbursts and temper but there was something different in his voice that signified something was seriously wrong. Laced in his outburst was an undertone of worry and…was that panic? His face was red with rage but also with a tiny bit uneasiness and dread.

Zane looked at his father trying to keep his face neutral and innocent, but was failing miserably. He looked guilty of something and looked like he just got caught red-handed.

"Father, I don't know what you m-" Zane was cut off as Zeus slammed his bolt into the floor in anger.

"Don't you dare lie to me, boy! How long have you been doing this? Why would you do this to your fellow demigods?" Zeus demanded. He had a look in his eye that did not sit well with everyone present.

Zane just stood there in silence, not being able to form any coherent sentence. All the demigods were looking at him in confusion and curiosity while Clarisse, Chris and Chiron were looking at him in suspicion and disgust.

"Father, what do you mean by what he has done? What did he do?" Athena asked anxiously.

"Something that I have prayed my children would never inherit." Zeus said in dismay.

"What are you talking about brother? Get to the point and stop talking in riddles!" Hades said annoyed.

Zeus glared at his brother before looking down at the floor so that no one could see his eyes. He took a deep breath and began his explanation

"It started over two thousand years ago when we first defeated father and drew lots. As you know, I drew the sky, Poseidon drew the sea, and you drew the Underworld."

They nodded their heads in agreement and motioned for him to continue.

"With me gaining the sky as my domain, I became master over everything in the sky. This includes the clouds, rain, storms and, my most known power, lightning. Lightning also correlates to electricity and electric impulses, so I can also control anything electric. The power of lightning is very powerful and can cause a lot of destruction."

"What does that have to do with anything?" Ares interrupted getting bored. He shrunk back into his throne from all the glares he received. Zeus turned away from his son and continued.

"But with the power over electricity I got a much more subtle but also very dangerous power."

Tension was getting thicker in the room as everyone was leaning forward in their seats anxiously, enthralled by Zeus's tale. As the story progressed, Zane was getting more and more uncomfortable.

"As I'm sure most of you know, the human body produces it's own electricity. If you don't know allow me to explain. The human nervous system generates electrical impulses within the brain that travels down the nerves to control movement. Nerve impulses act within the brain and they spread out throughout the body. It is also responsible for forming thoughts and helps makes our conscious and unconscious decisions and actions. Even though the human body doesn't generate massive amounts of electricity, it is still enough." Zeus said. He started to get a far-away look in his eye as he got lost in his memories.

Athena's eyes widened in realization and horror at what he was implying. Most saw her expressions and their nervousness increased even more. Zane looked really fearful now and looked ready to bolt.

Taking a deep breath he plunged forward into his tale. "With the power over electricity and the electric impulses that humans produce, I realized that I could influence their thoughts and decisions by controlling the electrical impulses within their bodies. Meaning that, if I wanted to, I could make some people think a certain way, nudge them into thinking a certain way, or, if completely mastered, be able to have complete control over their nervous systems and minds."

Everyone's eyes widened till they looked like they were going to pop out of their skulls. They were processing this information and the implications before gasps were heard all around the room. The demigods looked at Zane who was trying to look confident but was failing miserably.

"While I may be a bit paranoid and power-hungry at times, even I knew how serious the implications of this power could be. So I swore on the River Styx to never abuse this power of manipulating the electric currents within the body." Thunder rumbled in the background.

"As soon as I found out the full range this power could do, I immediately began to take precautions to ensure my children would never be able to inherit this power. Such power in the hands of mortals, even my own children would be too much of a temptation for them to abuse." Zeus said seriously.

"Unfortunately, it seems that this power has finally manifested in one of my children after all this time." Zeus finished as he turned to glare at his son who seemed to be trying his hardest to disappear.

"So that's why the campers have been acting to weird and distant from Percy." Chiron said with a surprising amount of anger in the old centaur's eyes. Percy was by far his favorite student and was like a son to him.

Clarisse surged across the throne room towards Zane, grabbed him by his collar and slammed him up against one of the marble pillars.

"What did you do your corpse-breath worm?" She yelled in his face with a furious expression adorning hers. She had a fist raised as though she was ready to punch his lights out.

Zane flinched in pain at being slammed into a solid, marble pillar by an angry daughter of war. He had a little bit of fear in his eyes before trying to exert his power. When he began to glow slightly, she decked him right in the nose, breaking it instantly as blood squirted out.

"Try that again, and you'll get even worse, I swear it." She whispered in a quiet but deadly voice.

"Unhand my son demigod!" Zeus boomed raising his master bolt at Clarisse.

Clarisse just turned her head to glare at the king of the gods, not even flinching.

"Why should I? He's the one that has been messing with my friends and making Percy's life hell! Why shouldn't I cream him into a bloody pulp?" She seethed in anger.

"Even though he is in the wrong, he is still my son and I will not allow you to harm him! I, and I alone, will decide his punishment." Zeus said with steel in his voice.

After a few moments, Clarisse reluctantly released the bleeding demigod and headed back over to stand by Chris, all the while glaring at the son of Zeus. Zane walked back over to where the others stood but everyone moved away from him, making his stand by himself.

"Can you remove the effects from the campers, pops?" Apollo asked.

Zeus nodded his head and raised his hands towards demigods. His hands and eyes glowed an electric whitish yellow before the aura spread from his hands and coated the campers. A yellow-whitish glow surrounded the campers that were affected, which was everyone besides Chiron, Clarisse, Chris, and Annabeth (surprisingly). The aura around the affected intensified while their expressions turned pained before they relaxed as the aura dispersed and the yellow-whitish glow that represented the affects faded.

The demigods affected looked disoriented for a few seconds before realization and horror crossed their features as they realized what they did to one of their closet friends and their savior. They turned to look at Zane with murderous glares and looked like they wanted to tear him limb from limb.

"So Lord Zeus, what you are saying is that Zane was using his power over electric impulses to control and influence our thoughts over Percy?" Katie said in a voice choked with emotion as her eyes filled with unshed tears. Travis pulled her into a comforting embrace, but he and everyone else didn't look much better.

"Unfortunately yes, young demigod. All of you except for the daughter of Athena, the daughter of Ares, the son of Hermes and Chiron. Though, I'm sorry to say that while he has the potential to be able to completely control the mind and body with practice, his techniques was too crude to be really effective. He could only nudge your thoughts to think a certain way. While he is partly to blame for influencing you all, it was you who acted on those thoughts." Zeus said solemnly.

The campers all had tears streaming down their faces as the full implications of what their actions caused upon one of the best demigods to have ever lived. Their eyes were filled with regret and shame before being replaced by a fiery determination.

"When he comes back to camp, we need to apologize to him. We need to explain ourselves and pray that he forgives us." Connor said in complete seriousness.

The others were nodding their heads before a cough interrupted their plans. They turned to Chiron who had a grave look on his face.

"I'm afraid that will not be possible young ones. I received a note from Percy last night" Chiron said sadly, pulling out a little slip of paper.

He cleared his throat before reading:

Dear Chiron, I wanted to let you know that I'm gonna be leaving camp for a while. I know that I shouldn't but it's something that I need to do. I can't stay here anymore! I can't stay in a place that was once so full of so many happy memories only to see it slowly turned into a place full of heartbreak and betrayal. All of my closet friends have left me because of something they think I did to them. I would never do anything that would hurt them, but it seems they don't trust me. Zane has turned almost the entire camp against me and I don't know why. Katie hates me, the Stolls hate me, Will, Grover, Malcolm, and all the other councilors hate me to. But what hurts the most was seeing Annabeth, the girl I was hopelessly in love with, cheating on me with Zane. Seeing her cuddled up with someone else and telling him that I wasn't worth it and they were better than me…it just hurts so much Chiron. You have always been a father figure to me at camp Chiron. I can never thank you enough for all the wisdom, training, and time you have given me over these past few years. Thank you my mentor and my friend. Don't tell the others where I'm going but just tell them I'm sorry for not being the friend that they needed. Hopefully, we'll meet again someday.

With many thanks and a heavy heart,

Perseus Theseus Jackson.

P.S.-Clarisse and Chris, thank you for not betraying me and know that I still think of you two as my friends. Thank you for sticking up for me. I'll see you around.

After the note was read, all the demigods were openly crying, Annabeth was sobbing into her hands and Chiron had tears streaming down his face. Even a few of the gods had a few tears trickling down there cheeks.

"We must find young Perseus. Chiron, you will send out search parties to try and find him." Zeus said addressing Chiron.

Chiron nodded his head in conformation. Zeus then turned to Hermes.

"Hermes, after this meeting, flash down to Camp Jupiter and inform the Romans of what has transpired here and of the situation." Hermes gave a thumbs up while pulling out his caduceus.

Zeus then turned to his wife.

"Hera, contact the Amazons. As their patron, they will listen to you." Hera nodded her head in agreement; not even looking annoyed which was slightly surprising.

Finally, Zeus turned to his daughter, Artemis.

"Artemis, while I know he is a male, you and your hunters will scour the continent for him. If anyone can find him, it would be you daughter."

While Artemis did looked slightly annoyed about having to look for a male, it was quickly wiped away after she reminded herself that the male was Perseus and he was different from all other males in the world.

"If everyone has there assignments, then meeting adjourned! Zane you will come with me to discuss your punishment." Zeus boomed before all the campers flashed out along with about half the gods until only Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, and Hestia remained.

Hades approached his grieving brother before laying a hand on his shoulder.

"Do not worry Poseidon. I will inform my son, Nico, of what happened and will send to look for Percy. We will find him and will make sure he is safe." Hades said in comforting manner.

He was not used to being comforting but seeing his younger brother in such a broken state seemed to bring out his protective side. His nephew really has changed them all for the better.

Poseidon nodded his head gratefully before Hades dissolved into shadows.

"Do not worry brother, Percy will be safe and he will survive. Have faith and don't lose hope. If you feel depressed, come to the hearth." Hestia said hugging her brother.

She felt a little guilty not telling the other gods that she knew where Percy was, but she knew the pain of the betrayal and seeing his parent's death was still so fresh in his mind that he needed some time alone or else he may never recover.

"Thank you sister. I will keep that in mind but I am worried for him and his loyalty." Poseidon said gravely.

"What do you mean brother?" Zeus said from his throne.

"Percy's fatal flaw of personal loyalty is very strong within him that he would give his life for any one of his friends. However, since he was betrayed, it was like a physical blow to his soul and mind. The bonds of loyalty he formed with his friends were snapped when they betrayed him so now he only has a few bonds of loyalty connecting him to this world. I don't know if he will ever trust them again or form loyalty to them either. Thank gods the daughter of Ares and Son of Hermes stuck by him and he still has Hades son and your daughter, Zeus." Poseidon said.

Zeus and Hestia were troubled by this news but shook it off before looking at their brother.

"Don't worry brother, we'll find him. While my nephew may be a pain in my toga, he is still my nephew and I…owe him a lot and care for him." Zeus said as if owing a demigod was chocking him.

Poseidon nodded his head before dissolving into an ocean mist and Zeus flashed out in a bolt of lighting. Only Hestia remained as she tended to the Hearth that was really low.

"Stay strong my son. Don't lose hope. We need you." Hestia whispered at the flames before she disappeared into the Hearth.

What do you guys think of Zane's power over the electrical pulses in the human brain? I wanted a reason why the campers would betray Percy that wouldn't be completely their fault, but they are also at fault as well, if that makes sense. He could influence them by either touching them directly or being in close proximity to others and it has a lingering effect.

Clarisse and Chris were not affected because they stayed as far away from him as possible so the effects were very weak and went away after a while.

Percy remained unaffected because of his unpredictable nature of the sea. Being the son of Poseidon makes him able to be unpredictable and resist this kind of affect. Also, what did you think of the explanation of his loyalty snapping? That will come into play later in the story.

To everyone that has reviewed, Thank you so much! You guys make it worth it all worth it!

A few answers to reviews:

No, I am not kidding. Sorry to all you Pertimis shippers, but I can't stop my inner Percabeth lover. It might, just might make sense how I handle it this way though. I can't guarantee that it's not just a dumb way of getting Percy with Annabeth. NO HAREMS, I HATE THAT.

Sorry, not my writing, but I love holding you out on these cliff hangers (evilly smirks and hides behind picture of Percy Jackson before you can throw sharp objects at me).

Until chapter 21, I think, it is Hans50's story. From then onwards it is my terrible writing.
