Chapter One

"Hey Percy, have you seen Piper?" Jason asked.

Percy shook his head, "No, sorry."

"It's cool. I'll catch up with you later, I have to go find her." Jason said walking away.

Percy sat out by the lake, un-capping and capping his sword, Riptide. He has been coming down to the lake a lot lately, ever sense Annabeth and he broke up. They were still friends and all, they just decided after a while of being together they needed a break. Percy loved Annabeth, but when she asked for her space he knew he needed to back off and let her think.

Think.

He has been doing a lot of that lately. It seemed to become a daily routine of waking up early, going for a jog, then coming down to the lake and think. Percy didn't even know when he started the routine. All he knew was that if he didn't follow through his new schedule, he would become an emotional wreck.

After the giant war, the battle against Gaea, and the titan's promise to return, he had a fall out with his mom, Sally Jackson. Sally and Paul had decided on moving to Florida, but Percy just didn't want to leave his old life. He wasn't exactly a fan of change and he refused to be so far away from camp.

Percy hasn't really talked to Sally as much as he probably would have if she still lived in New York, but he guessed it was just the time difference. Anyways, he never really talks to anyone as much anymore. His mind always seemed to be full of battles, and war. Angry gods and goddesses just using him and his friends to clean up their messes. Gods, he hated being a piece in their game.

Speaking of Gods, Percy suddenly found himself encased in a bright light and suddenly he wasn't sitting on the grass by the lake anymore, he was sitting by the foot of Ares' throne on Mount. Olympus. Percy held back a laugh at the irony of him ending up down by Ares' feet.

As if. He thought.

"Hello there, Perseus." Zeus' voice was grim.

Percy got up, irritated of the use of his real name and walked away from Ares. He bowed down in front of Zeus. "Lord Zeus." he said. "May I ask why you have summoned me here?"

"You should know already, traitor." Ares growled.

Percy tilted his head in confusion. He risked a glance at his father who wouldn't meet his eyes. Oh Great, he thought. Whenever he refuses to meet Percy's eyes something bad happens. Well, something bad always happens, but this is usually a sign of it being worse than usual.

"I'm sorry Zeus," Percy started. "I have no clue what Ares is talking about."

"He is talking about you being a traitor!" Zeus boomed.

Obviously. Percy fought the risk to roll his eyes and said, "How have I been a traitor?"

"You have been secretly working for Kronos." Hades cut in, suddenly appearing on the other side of Zeus.

Great, Hades is here. Another happy family reunion, Percy thought sarcastically.

Watch your attitude, Poseidon's voice appeared in my head.

Percy scowled at him then looked to Hades. "I have no clue what you are talking about, I would never work for Kronos! I helped defeat Kronos!"

"We have our proof." Said Zeus.

"Oh, really? Great because I'd love to see it." Percy mocked, suddenly angry.

A few gods and goddesses raised an eye brow or two, but most just looked at Percy disapprovingly. All except Athena.

Percy raised an eye brow of his own at her and she shrugged before her voice was herd in his head.

It just doesn't make sense for you to be a traitor, but no Zeus refuses to listen to the freaking Goddess of Wisdom. She spat.

Over time Percy liked to think of Athena and him as Allies. They would never be 'friends' but most of the time they seemed to stick up for each other.

Percy turned his attention back to Zeus who was apparently making a speech about how he should be ashamed of himself and blah blah blah. Like, seriously? He didn't do anything! At times like this Percy would like to look up to his father and say, "You believe me, don't you? You know I'm innocent. Tell them I'm innocent," but he'd just embarrass himself. Percy didn't believe he was Poseidon's favorite son anymore. Yes, he was still his only Demi-God child alive, but they no longer connected. It's like Poseidon stopped caring sense there isn't currently a war going on right now, and there isn't supposed to be one for another millennia.

Percy looked up at Zeus and in anger said something brilliant like, "Screw you, thank you for the nice congratulation speech about how I went and saved all your asses, (Hint the sarcasm, Percy never got a simple thank you from the filthy gods) but if you excuse me apparently I have to now go and make it up to Kronos by being a traitor to you all." Then he turned around and walked away. Forget that he never saw any 'evidence' of him betraying them. Nope, because all of a sudden Percy's guilty no matter what.

Well fine. Two can play this game. "Enjoy celebrating the defeat of Gaea and preparing for the war with the titans because the savior of Olympus is out. Peace!" Percy called back over his shoulder, and walked into the elevator to head back to Earth.

As the elevator doors closed Percy could have sworn he heard Zeus say something like, "You have to admit, that kids got some nice exits. Very Dramatic."

"Stupid Drama Queen," Percy muttered shaking his head.

By the time the elevator went down all 600 floors Percy had managed to control his anger. He stepped out of the elevator only slightly fuming over what had just happened. Despite the fact his fatal flaw was personal loyalty, Percy found himself wondering what would happen if he really did work with Kronos. His friends wouldn't be that betrayed, right?
