On Olympus

Olympus was somber. The air itself seemed to be filled with sadness and worry. Why was Olympus in such a state of sadness and fear you may ask, well nobody really knew. Nobody except for the Olympians at least. Their throne room, which had been locked for days, was filled with the shouting and arguments of the Olympians.

"This is all your fault father!" Apollo shouted from his golden throne his eyes turning into miniature suns as he glared across the room at Zeus.

Zeus glowered back at his son from his grand throne, his blue eyes looked like two miniature lightning bolts about to strike down the angry sun god, "Do not talk to me like that boy or you will meet a much worse fate than Jackson by the end of this meeting," Zeus threatened back his voice cutting like a knife into Apollo who laid back in his throne still silently fuming.

"Now," Zeus said sitting regally on his throne, "Who has a solution to recapture Perseus.

"We should have never locked him away in the first place, he was an ally and a friend!" Hades screamed from the throne Percy had acquired for him after the giant war.

"Enough of this!" Athena yelled, "What's done is done, for now we need to focus on recapturing the sea spawn!"

However this brought only brought on a new host of arguments from the Olympians, some arguing in favor of Percy, some against.

"ENOUGH!" Zeus thundered, (A/n: Get it he thundered xD) "Ares you will find Perseus and bring him here until we find a more suitable prison for him, meanwhile Athena I want you to find out how Perseus escaped, it should have been impossible," the king of Olympus ordered his children who both nodded and flashed out to do what their father asked of them.

"Now I will no more arguments from any of you!" Zeus shouted angrily, "We will find Perseus, recapture him and if anyone aids him in any way," Zeus threatened glaring at Apollo, "They will meet the same fate as he will, this meeting is adjourned!"

As the Olympians began to leave Zeus called out to his daughter, "Artemis, stay a moment," he ordered.

After the rest of the Olympians left the throne room Artemis approached her father, "Yes father?" she asked.

"Artemis I want you and your hunters to help in the search for Jackson, we need to find him at any cost," Zeus ordered.

Artemis' eyes widened, "Father why can we not just leave him alone, he was an ally to us and we imprisoned him unjustly," Artemis complained.

"Artemis for your sake I will pretend like I did not just hear you say that," the king of the gods threatened the moon goddess brandishing his glowing Master Bolt in his hand.

Artemis paled slightly and gave a stiff nod before teleporting to her hunter's camp thinking to herself, "Perseus I'm sorry."

Percy's P.O.V.

I had been traveling for weeks with nothing but a pair of ripped faded blue jeans and a tattered t-shirt. I had been taking train after train, sneaking onto them using my manipulation over the mist that I had managed to keep even after Poseidon disowned me. I had no clue where I was actually going but continued to just follow the signs and notes sent to me by my "friend" who freed me from my prison. My journey west had taken a serious detour when I received a not telling me to go all the way to the Himalayas! Under normal circumstances I would definitely refuse but these are most certainly not normal circumstances. Here I was making my way to the tallest mountain on earth, Mt. Everest. The note that I was given by my friend appeared said only to follow my instincts and find his cave.

Luckily my friend seemed to be helping me once again as I was protected from all of the cold and was able to breathe easily despite the high altitudes. I was trekking around the snow and ice covered mountain searching randomly for the entrance to any cave until I reached the west side of the mountain near the very top.

It was there that I felt a force enter my mind and a voice whisper in my mind, "You are close my friend, just follow my presence." I did as was asked of me and let the presence guide me to the opening of a small cave which I just barely squeezed through before landing on the hard rock floor with a thump. As I gained my bearings I began took take in my surroundings I was in a small cave with smooth stone walls and the only other thing in the room was lion head statue on the wall with it mouth frozen in a furious roar.

"Place you hand in the lions mouth Perseus," the voice said in my mind.

"What will it do to me?" I questioned the voice in my mind not really trusting my invisible friend or the lion at the moment.

"That I cannot tell you, you must show bravery and trust in me to receive the reward I have for you," the voice told me while it seemed to be growing stronger and louder as I approached the statue warily.

"Well excuse me but it's a bit hard to trust someone I haven't even really met," I thought to the voice sarcastically.

"Just do it," the voice said exasperated.

I sighed mustering my courage, "What's the worst that could happen?" I thought optimistically as I raised my enclosed fist towards the lion statues mouth warily. With a final breath I shoved my hand into the stone beast's mouth roughly with my eyes clenched nervously. After a few moments on nothingness I warily opened one eye and was relieved to see that nothing had happened. I let out a sigh of relief as most of my nervousness vanished and I decided to feel around in the lion's mouth for whatever the point of all this was when my finger bumped against something metal knocking the object into the side of the lions mouth sending a loud pinging noise reverberating throughout the cave. I grabbed whatever the object was and pulled my hand out of the lion's mouth to study it. Now in my hand was a small brass key that was covered with rust.

Moments after I found the key the sound of stone scraping on stone scraped loudly through my ears as a wall opened up on the far side of the room flooding my vision with light. I blindly stumbled towards the entrance that had opened eager to see what lie ahead only to be amazed when my vision cleared. In front of me in the heart of Mt. Everest was a beautiful city with amazing buildings and lush green fields, and in the center of it all stood a huge golden tower glowing with power high above any other building in the city.

"Welcome to my old home or as the mortals who stumbled upon it long ago called it Shangri-La," the voice said making my amazement and awe grow with each word.
