Percy's POV

I made my way to the cursed garden of the Hesperides as Apollo was quickly nearing the horizon. Entering this place was not something I really wanted to do, but it was only the polite to walk up to the shattered palace. Not using my knowledge I instantly gained from the experiences of the prior lords of time was the honorable thing in this scenario, even though I did not know if the others would be honorable. I still wanted to do the right thing no matter the cost. At least I had a new name for my sword, or more accurately, it choose a new name for itself.

Molis Mora, Translated into just time, one word Greek the other Latin it made for a confusing thought. Am I going to be dual natured like the gods? However, that was a question for another time, the sword itself was rather unique. Its shape was neither a gladius nor a Xiphos like most blades in mythology. Although, the sword's length was not as long as the great sword Ares used against me when I was twelve. The point was in a diamond shape with the dual metals clearly woven together and the fuller was not simply an indention in the long sword but the was an actual gap between the two metals with both sides of each metal sharpened. I made for an intimidating sight especially combined with the pointed and edged cross guard and the hourglass in the pommel.

I was not able to ponder my thoughts for long before Zoe's sisters came up to me. "Who are you and what are you doing in our garden?" The one in front asked with a tone of displeasure in her voice.

I put a look of hurt on my face. "What just because it has been a few years you don't recognize the guy your sister travelled with to see your dear old daddy?" I asked them as I noticed my form had taken on my natural look of how I thought I would appear when I was in my early twenties.

It did not take long before realization dawned upon the Hesperide before me. "Landon kill the enemy of the Titans!" She shouted at the hundred-headed dragon that was wrapped around the tree filled with golden apples.

Landon slowly unwrapped some of his heads from around the tree and then rapidly shot them forth toward us. Once they got close, they came to a halt and a single head extended towards me and sniffed me before they all retreated back around the tree causing me to laugh at the shocked look on all of the Hesperides' faces. "Why didn't he tear him apart?" On of Atlas's daughters asked of no one in particular.

"If I may explain, it is rather simple. If you order a beast to attack the enemy of the titans it will not attack a titan." I said in a pompous British accent. "Now if you excuse me your grandfather is waiting for me up ahead." I explained before walking past the stunned women and out beyond their garden towards the shattered palace.

Once I strolled past the figure of Atlas under the sky. The Titan of endurance glared at me with a fierce rage in his eyes. Before Atlas could open his mouth and throw insults at me his father came down from where I remember the titan palace to be located. "Perseus, do not pay any attention to my son as he struggles to handle his burden. Let's go back to the palace and discuss the future." My old friend Bob lead the way back to a rebuilt palace. We quickly arrived at the gate of the palace because unlike Olympus where there is one palace for each different Olympian there was but one palace here on Orthrys for all the Titans.

As we approached, the doors opened automatically before us. "We are going to meet the Council of Titans." Bob explained to me while we walked.

"Has the council changed since the days of the first war now that they are able to get around easier?" I asked the Titan of the Underworld.

"Officially no, it has not changed since the end of the first war, but today it may change today. We are going to vote on your induction and decide about who shall stay on the council." Iapetus explained to me as we approached the council chamber doors. He reached out his hand and touched the door causing his symbol to light up as he sent his energy into the door and it swung open.

Out of my memories or more, specifically the memories of Kronos as I looked around the council chamber the names of the titans gathered all sprang to my mind. When Iapetus grew to his full height of a towering twenty feet, I followed suit but did not sit in the golden throne for the Titan of Time. Rhea sat at the head and I bowed to her. I waited for her to give me a nod before I rose and addressed the whole council. "Good evening, I am Perseus Jackson the new Lord of Time. I have the memories of my predecessors. If you want me to, then I shall step up and join the council."

Theia smiled at me in a way that reminded me of Aphrodite and not in a good way. "I say we let him take his spot on the council and then have some fun with him."

I could not say I did not have mixed feelings about the offer she was suggesting. "He has the right to be counted among us as the Titan Lord of Time. I vote we move to induct him into the council, especially seeing how he is the one who freed us from our wrongful imprisonment." Themis declared to the others. Her position as the Titan of Divine Law held weight when it came to making these kinds of points.

Koios then spoke up on the mater. "I must agree with Themis on this matter." His words were simple and very different from how he spoke while in Tartarus.

Rhea took the helm of the council. "Very well with the motion proposed and seconded we shall vote all in favor of adopting young Mr. Jackson into the council?" Mnemosyne, Theia, Themis, Koios, Iapetus all raised their hands to which Rhea acknowledged with a nod of her head. "All opposed to his induction?" Tethys and Phoebe raised their hands. "Very well, motion passes. Perseus you may take your throne." Rhea said indicating the golden seat at her side.

Once I sat down I felt more in tune with my domain of time but there was something else there. My thoughts were interrupted by the fates appearing in the throne room. "We have come to announce the titles of Lord Perseus." I gave them the nod to continue, as technically I am now King of the Titans. "All hail, Perseus Jackson, Graecus Son of Neptune, Slayer of the Minotaur, Retriever of the Golden Fleece, Delver of the Labyrinth, Slayer of Kronos, Traveler of Tartarus, Hero of Olympus, Eye of Nekhbet, Titan Lord of Time and Tides, the King of the Titans." They were clearly out of breath when they finished their speech of my titles.

"Good lord he has more titles than the rest of us combined." Mnemosyne said shocked by the list. "Why is him being the son of Poseidon so important to be on that list though?" She asked to the fates or anyone in particular.

"It is because he is the Graecus Son of Neptune. In other words he was born both Greek and Roman." The fates said causing worry to wash over all of the Titans.

"So, he will be the first titan to have two natures I assume." Koios said in a serious voice clearly showing his concern for the matter. The fates then left in a flash leaving us to the remainder of our topics.

"Next we must discuss what our stance shall be with the Olympians. " Rhea said opening the floor up for debate.

"They are too full of pride and need to be brought down." Tethys exclaimed as a demand for war.

"They are too be releasing our imprisoned brethren who have not attacked them. Although they were to do that seven years ago." Mnemosyne said thoughtfully.

Koios interjected into the discussion cutting the power from the war mongering women. "We do not currently have the strength to oppose them even if all of us were to attack at once."

I felt conflicted on the mater. My loyalty was torn between the two councils. Therefore, when Iapetus spoke up it was not in my favor. "Why don't we hear the opinion of our new king seeing as he has the most experience dealing with them?"

All eyes turned to me in a look of curiosity. I let out a sigh knowing I could not avoid this talk. "I believe that we should set up a camp similar to that of the one the Olympians have so that if any titans have offspring with mortals then they can receive training there. That will eventually even out the strength of our fighting forces but we should not act as the aggressors. I also feel it would be best to send an envoy to the gods to ensure they finally fulfill their oat to release the peaceful titans." I explained the best solution that I could come up with considering the current situation and the amount of trouble we were facing. "We also need to decide on what to do about the missing members of this council. Accepting them back will incite the rage of Olympus because they all acted out as direct aggressors to their council."

"I agree with the proposal of sending an envoy and setting up a camp. Seeing how many on this council are single we can mingle in the mortal world if we cut back on the number of meetings we have." The titan of knowledge suggested.

"Very well then since we have a second to those ideas we shall put them to a vote and as I support to cutting the number of meetings back to once a week we can put that in for a vote as well." I declared taking control back before anymore-new ideas could be put forward. This completely democratic process while more time consuming than how Zeus did things seemed to work better if we focused on the issues. "All in favor of building a camp similar to that of the ones the gods have?" I asked to have every hand besides my own go up. Being the king, I held two votes but could only exercise my voting if it were a close vote. "The motion carries. All those in favor of sending an envoy to Olympus to ensure the speedy return of the titans that should no longer be imprisoned?" Once again, everyone raised his or her hand so there was no need to call for an opposed vote. "Motion has carried. All in favor of reducing the number of council meetings down to once a week rather than every day?" Iapetus, Koios, Thea, and Rhea raised their hands. "All opposed to the motion?" Tethys, Themis, Mnemosyne, and Phoebe raised their hands. "The council is split so as King the choice is mine to make and I am sorry Ladies but with my memories of the past I find in favor of passing the motion but I will add a caveat anyone on the council may enact emergency meetings." At the look of glee from the faces of the those opposed, I stressed the meaning of my words. "I do mean only in the case of an emergency that requires the council to act not if it is a trivial matter such as a redesign of the palace."

"I believe that the best representative should be the king." Tethys said with an evil smirk on her face.

Before I could voice my opinion on the matter, the titan of the underworld came to my rescue. "I must disagree Tethys. As you are aware, I have grown to have a working relationship with my counterpart. He informed me that their overly protective king wants young Perseus here killed out of fear. Our best hope would be to send Rhea once again since she is his mother and he is such a momma's boy." I could not help but snicker at the description of Zeus.

"In light of this information, I would have to agree with on your choice of sending Rhea and I believe we should table the issue regarding what to do about Hyperion, Krios, and Oceanus until we secure the release of the remaining titans." Mnemosyne said thinking back on something.

"Very well then with the motion seconded we will put it to a vote, all in favor?" I asked as is custom. Themis, Thea, Phoebe, Mnemosyne, Koios and Iapetus raised their hands. "All opposed?" Tethys and Rhea held up as opposition. "The motion carries six to two." I stated before looking to the floor. "Is there any other business for the council please state it now." I waited a minute before standing up. "Then I declare this council session dismissed." I sat back down in my throne as the others flashed out leaving with my thoughts.
