Hey guys! How's it going? Thanks for all the reviews last chapter! Woah, 13 reviews in less than 24 hours! A couple quick things: I know my writing isn't the best. I'm trying to improve, but there's not much they teach us in school about writing. I'm in high school, yet we apparently already know all we have to about fiction writing. The only writing they teach us is essays. I'm kinda going at this alone with only other fanfictions and actual novels to guide me. So I apologize. Also, I will attempt to make the chapters longer. Key word: attempt. I know a couple people are musicians, so I can't be the only one that knows how busy it gets for musicians around Christmas time. It's almost like I'm on a tour; I have a different gig every other night! All at different places, too. (Sure, none are as snazzy as the Royal Albert Hall in London or the National Concert Hall in Dublin, but I love it anyways!) Hopefully, I'll be able to have regular 4-day updates with longer chapters. Hopefully is the key word in that sentence. Well, I own nothing but please enjoy this chapter!

Percy's POV

They obeyed my orders quickly. Once we were all connected, I let Artemis grab my shoulder. "We're ready."

"Alright. Here we go. Good luck, Raven," she told me before flashing us into the Olympian throne room. Time for the fun to start.

My squad and I appeared in the shadows behind Artemis's throne, our appearance masked by the flash made by Artemis herself. All the other Olympians were already in their thrones.

"Artemis!" Zeus boomed. My teeth clenched at the sound of his voice. "You are late."

I saw Artemis's muscles tense slightly, yet she seemed to casually relax in her silver throne. "My apologies, Father. I did not see the time."

From my position, I couldn't see Zeus's face. However, I assumed that he had a face of shame and disappointment, anger probably finding place there too.

"Now that everyone is here, are we ready to start the meeting?" Zeus disn't leave a pause in the air for protest. Instead, he continued on. "Alright, let's begin. Who would like to have their problems addressed first?"

Here, Zeus did stop talking. I exchanged a brief glance with my teammates, nodding to let them know that it was go time.

"I would," I announced, stepping out from behind Artemis's throne. My teammates walked out from behind the thrones next to Artemis, so as to not cause suspicion. Aphrodite jumped when Luke and Zoë emerged from the shadows behind her, but Athena just watched curiously as Bianca and Calypso walked by.

Zeus openly stared at me with his dull blue eyes. "And you are...?"

"Who I am isn't important. However, so you don't throw a hissy fit, you may call me Raven."

Athena spoke up. "What problem do you have?"

I glared at her and several others from underneath my hood. "My comrades and I have a problem with many of you Olympians. You have done many things under the leadership of Zeus that have had a negative effect on the universe. Our leader has asked us to come here and warn those of you that have blindly followed Zeus."

Athena frowned at me. "Who is your leader? Who are your 'comrades'? Who are you warning? What are you warning against?" I held up a hand to stop the goddess of wisdom.

"Silence," i growled. To the shock of the Olympians, she grew quiet. "Most questions will be answered in time." I gazed around at the assembled council.

"Now, we have come to warn you that a war is going to be waged against several of you Olympians. Not all. The few that are granted amnesty do not have to get involved in the conflict; if they do not, they shall have a place on the new Olympian council. However, if the innocent Olympians choose to engage in the fight or are found betraying the opposing side, then they shall have the same punishment," I explained.

"You're explaining this as if we are going to lose!" Hera exclaimed from her seat next to her husband.

I smirked. "Yes, we do expect you to lose. However, that does not need much discussion yet. I have warned the pardoned Olympians to mind their actions, as they will have severe consequences. Now, would you like to know who those pardoned few are?"

All the Olympians nodded their heads. Thankfully, none of them spoke other than to mutter something to their neighbor or under their breath. Even more fortunately, he had yet to open his mouth.

"Lovely," I said. "The pardoned Olympians are as follows, and there are no second chances for them: Artemis, Aphrodite, Demeter, Dionysis, Hephaestus, and Hermes."

There was an uproar. The Olympians I had not named were protesting loudly, asking what was different about them compared with the pardoned immortals.

"Silence!" I yelled.

Hey guys. Really sorry. That's not where I wanted to end the chapter, but I got sick last night and I just feel too miserable and tired to write. I'll try to get a longer chapter for next time. Next update is in four days on Thursday. Hopefully I won't feel as crappy then as I do now. Sorry again!
