Chapter 4-The Fates Intervene
Hephaestus grumbled and griped all the way to the throne room the next day, prompting Athena to question his actions, though she had a general idea.
Hephaestus glances in her direction shooting an annoyed glare before answering, "I was working on a new set of chains to hold Typhon and keep him from escaping his prison, after Poseidon's kid nearly blew it apart.. Of course, when Father needs something else, what he has already asked for is all but forgotten"
After a moment's pause, Hephaestus glances back in his half-sister's direction, before asking, "Does this have something to do with the mortal that landed in the middle of our War Council, yesterday?"
Athena looked at him oddly before answering, "Of course, it does."
"Figures," The forge god murmured. " Only time, mother is actually civil towards me is when she needs something. Speaking of which, what made her freak out the other day?"
Athena frowns before answering, "I do not know. Something inside of his mind scared her. That's why we need the memory viewer."
Hephaestus grunts in a agreement, and walks of to his throne the moment they enter the throne room.
Once Athena and Hephaestus were seated, Zeus stood radiating authority and announced, "Today's War Council has been called to discuss what happened in yesterday's meeting. Specifically, the mortal that 'dropped in'. I was informed that the mortal's name is Kratos, however, my wife failed to mention anything else nor is she very forth coming with any other information. Although she named him as a child of mine and a threat to Olympus. We are hear to see if those claims are true."
Once Zeus was finished with his speech he gestured to Hephaestus who in turn summoned a bronze looking T.V. The gods got comfortable as the memories of the Former God of War began to play across the screen.
( Three weeks later)
As Kratos' final memories played across the screen, the gods were froze in pure fear and terror. Many of them contemplated killing the demigod in his sleep but they all agreed that would be a terrible decision; one that would most likely get them all killed. However, Zeus was still reluctant to let his own son live. It was Athena that saved his life.
"Father, think about it for a moment! He is obviously not the hero of the Great Prophecy; he is far too old. Also, he has a weakness we can exploit."
At such a ridiculous statement, all of the gods present turned and looked at Athena like she had finally lost her mind.
"What do you mean, daughter?" Zeus questioned. If it was not for his daughter, he would have been done killed the Former God of War, but she seemed oddly protective of the mortal. He would permit it as long as it did not threaten Olympus to leave him alive. Anything to make his little girls happy.
"Father, let me ask you, what is the one thing he wanted that the gods of his world could not provide him with? what is the only reason he ever served out counterparts?"
When no-one spoke up, she proceeded, "His memories. He wanted his memories of killing his family removed. If we were to take his memories in exchange for an oath of loyalty, we could get him to fight on our side against the Titans."
It was obvious her speech did not sell so well to a majority of the Olympian council, however it did get Zeus to thinking. It would be extremely beneficial to have such a powerful warrior to fight against the Titans. However, Zeus could not ignore the incredible threat that the mortal presented just by existing.
"I am sorry, daughter, but no. This warrior is far too much of a threat to all of creation he must be dealt with. I will kill him myself while he yet slumbers."
As the King of the gods stood from his throne, A blinding flash of light lit the entire throne room and in walked the three sisters of Fate.
(A/N): And her is chapter 4! Next time: The sisters of Fate speak their peace about the situation and Kratos awakens, and the plot thickens! Really had a hard time writing this chapter, so if it kinda sucks or is just not on par with the other chapters I apologies. I've had much more inspiration for The Death's Champion. Although I thank all of you for the views and reviews I have gotten I appreciate all of them! Also the score for the pairing is still the same, And I also decided to hold a separate poll for The Death's Champion, and Thalia is winning that one too! Anyway please review and have a great day!
