A/N: sorry about the nix up I changed it as soon as I got the review thank you, hitsrin, for telling me.
POV: Percy
At the end of the meeting the gods all looked bored probably due to Zeus' long speech at the end. I am surprised that he didn't realise that quite a few of the Olympians had fallen asleep. I guess the good thing is that I find out where I get the drooling thing from. Poseidon's face was in his hands as he slept and drool slowly came out of his mouth. I looked away in disgust but in the end I gave in. I knew I was like that as well, my mother always teased me about it.
Zeus took one look around and he stomped his foot and the ground trembled, because Poseidon jumped up and landed rather hardly on the ground.
"Why is everyone SLEEPING?" he thunder and turned to me for an answer. I shrunk back and looked to daddy, he was sleeping, I thumped his foot so hard he winched and woke up.
"Ouch!" he complained but I glared at him and gestured to Zeus. "Oh..." he mumbled as he finally understood the situation. "Zeus, I had a rough night I didn't sleep well" he explained although I knew he was lying, he slept like the dead yesterday.
"That doesn't excuse sleeping during my speech, you have all the time in the world to sleep. Now I will say my speech again." He told us. No, please I can listen to that again. I face-palmed as he started, again, pretended to find his speech interesting.
At the end to the speech only daddy, Poseidon, Apollo, Athena, and I were awake. Even though Zeus was very unhappy he didn't feel like saying again, so he dismissed all the Olympians and I went to stand by his side. It was night and we had wasted a whole day with his speech, so he let us head in for the night. But not after promising I would work on my new powers tomorrow.
I was woken up by a bucket of cold water being poured on my head. I wasn't wet but it was still unpleasant especially since it was three thirty.
"What was that for?" I complained as Zeus stepped out of the shadows along with Poseidon, Hades, and Athena. They were all snickering. I willed the water towards them and suddenly they were the ones wet. I cracked up and Poseidon flicked the water away but it was too funny. I doubled over laughing my head off. Zeus looked like a drenched cat!
Daddy wasn't pleased to be wet but shrugged, he knew I would splash them back and he brought hand –me down clothes. Typical, he cared about his nice suit. Unfortunately for Zeus, well it looked like he wore his finest suit. And though Poseidon made the water disappear the salt still stained it. But nothing a god can't fix. Just a wave from Zeus' hand and the suit was as good as new.
"Let's work on your air powers now shall we." He said irritated.
"Why, might I ask, do we need to work now? My, Lord?"I hesitantly said not wanting to provoke his temper tantrums.
"Because unfortunately I must call an Olympian meeting later on and don't have the time to teach you, so suck it up."
"Yes, my lord."I replied and disappeared into my closet.
I changed into a pair of jeans and a plain t-shirt.
Zeus of course was in a suit but this time less fancy.
"The first thing you need it concentration and which is another reason why I chose this time. The silence will help you and when you are comfortable we will try lightning and thunder." He explained bored.
I concentrated and willed the air to rise. The air rose and I rose as well, until I was a hundred feet from where I started.
"Well done, I have never seen someone more natural. That is it for today then." He chuckled and left.
I hurried to the throne room, just in time to make it for the meeting. Zeus was in the middle to speaking but I ignored the looks he was giving me and sat down at the feet of my daddy.
"Good job earlier today Percy, I have never seen Zeus so irritated by a demi-god." He whispered as Zeus started another one of his long speeches on bravery.
"Thank you daddy" I whispered back.
Zeus continued as if he didn't hear that, but I am sure he did. After hours of listening to his speech he stopped and dismissed us.
"Percy, I will quickly teach you lightning and then you may return to your father."He boomed and I hurried after him. "Just in vision someone being struck with lightning, someone you don't like."
I pictured my step father being electrocuted. It worked and the tree in front of me was struck with a lightning bolt. Zeus smiled and continued whatever he wanted to do.
"Daddy, I am back" I said after quickly travelling back to the underworld.
I stopped in shock. The place was a mess. Skeletons were running around without head, literally. My daddy was in the middle of the Chaos. He was screaming for order but the screaming only added to the noise. I decided to help and I caused an earthquake to tremble to ground beneath our feet.
"SILENCE, everyone please" I thundered, putting all my power into the yell. All the skeletons stopped and looked at me. "Now what is the problem?" I tried to gather the facts.
"My Helm of Darkness is missing!" Daddy exclaimed and the room erupted into chaos. The skeletons franticly searched for the helm, while bumping into one another.
I tried, without success, to calm everyone down. Hades my hell hound bounded up to me at one point and whimpered. I noticed he had got a scratch on his side. I asked him about this and he told me that he had gotten the scratch from one of the skeletons, who were searching for the helm.
I healed him, using some of my powers and he stood by my side as I continued to attempt to calm down the situation.
I summoned a crack in the earth and willed the skeletons to fall. They did so grudgingly. Once the skeletons were out of the way it was easily to communicate with my daddy. I did a quickly glace around the house.
Tables where over turned, carpets destroyed, and glass shattered.
"Daddy, when was the last time you saw the helm?" I began to question him.
"At the beginning of the meeting, I left the helm at my throne and when I returned it was gone."He stated grimly. I did not want to be the person who stole his helm. Judging from my father's expression the person was going to go to the fields of punishment for a long time. I was going to question daddy further but Hermes appeared, in a flash of light.
"Lord Hades, you are requested on Olympus." He told my daddy. Daddy nodded and we both shadow-travelled to Olympus. I waited outside of the throne room while my father entered.
Nico joined me outside and we talked for a while before I couldn't anymore. I stood up.
I paced outside of the throne room for about ten minutes before the doors were opened. I looked up and say Athena, goddess of wisdom, coming towards me.
"Perseus, you are requested to join us in the throne room "She muttered, but loud enough so I could hear. I walked into the throne room warily. Nico followed me, even though he wasn't invited.
"Nephew, as you know your father's helm of darkness is missing. But what you do not know is that my lightning bolt is also missing." Zeus began "I need you to choose two people to go on a quest with you to find my lightning bolt and your father's helm. Do you accept?"
"I accept the quest, Lord Zeus."I replied.
Zeus cracked a smile and added
"For the sake of you safety you may also take your pets with you." Pets... he said pets I only have one pet, and that is Hades. Speaking of Hades, he decided to burst in and went up to me and licked my hand.
"Correct me if I am wrong, Lord Zeus, but did you say pets?" I asked
"You are correct I said pets. My pet, shall arrive in the underworld for you, in a few minutes."He mused
"Yes, Lord Zeus thanks for my present." I bowed deeply earning myself a smile from Zeus.
"You know since we finished the training I was wondering if you would like to stay with Hades, your father, when I say that I mean for the entire year. I would not mind." He disappeared in a clap of thunder and I was left there with the rest of the gods. They soon disappeared to carry on with their tasks.
Daddy was talking with Poseidon, very unhappily. In the end I went over there because it looked like it was about to turn physical.
"Daddy, can you take me back?" I asked trying to save Poseidon from my daddy's wraith.
"Sure "He replied glaring at Poseidon. He grabbed Nico and I and we reappeared in the underworld. But right before we left I saw a gold light. I tried to see what it was but failed, because daddy transported us.
As promised Zeus' gift for me was there waiting. A huge bald eagle, larger than a minivan was waiting for me. My mouth dropped open and I walked towards the creature, who was now my pet.
I named the creature Zeus because it was from Zeus and I walked it to my room. It settled down next to my bed and fell asleep quickly.
I walked back to the throne room, Daddy and Nico where having a conversation.
"Daddy what were you and father talking about?" I asked beyond curious.
"Your step father, Poseidon failed to be your father. Now he is trying to get you back. He demanded that I send you back with him and I told him no. That is all Perseus don't worry." Daddy replied
"Daddy, before we left I saw a golden light what was that?"
"Percy I won't lie to you. Kronos is rising. My father and your grand father is rising, trying to over throw the gods."
