P.O.V Jason

I looked sadly at my surroundings, darkness was everything I saw. Ever since that daughter of Athena came and threatened all of us, papa's temper took the best of him. Shadows crept, for the first time in history, into Olympus.

I never really believed other Gods when they told me that my father was terrifying, and gained his title as the Ghost King because when he was still a demigod he turned someone into one. However, now that I saw so many ghosts wandering around the halls of my parent's castle trying too sooth their King and felt papa's murdering aura... I was ashamed to admit but I would be afraid of him if I was his enemy.

-Nico...- I heard my dad softly say, from where I was hiding- You need to calm down- he told papa- If you keep using your powers like that you won't have energies for when the giants come.

-You mean that if I keep darkening Olympus you will throw me to the Underworld as if I was garbage- I froze at the rage in my papa's voice, I had never heard him talk to dad like that. Whenever we, my siblings and I, found him we needed to drag them apart from each other and remind them that they aren't in their bed. All the time I look at them I see the kind of love I desire to have, but this... this is hate not love.

-Nico!- dad shouted- I love you and I would never do that to you! I am sorry if what I said about Calypso made you feel bad or unwanted, but that isn't the case right now- I saw as dad walked towards papa and hugged him, at the beginning papa didn't want it but then he returned the hug- We need to stay united for our children... they had never seen you this angry. We are lucky that Hazel took after your Underworld self or we would have a lot of problems with her.

-They surely are afraid of me... they all are- the broken whisper of my papa made me so angry at that bitch that my dad had as a wife, that it even surprised me. Papa is always kind, smiling, and lovely... that sometimes I forget that his life was hell for so much time. That he suffered and was damaged without repair so long ago- I am not angry Zeus- papa confessed to dad with watery eyes, "Papa never cries!"- I am afraid... I still remember the desperation, impotence, frustration, fear and so many other emotions that I had during that month all those years ago- "He must be talking about the curse, the same thing that almost killed him. The reason that my siblings and I are here now".

-It won't happen again- the voice of my dad was decorated by thunders in the background, "As dramatic as always dad".

Suddenly the shadows went away letting the sunrays enter the room and corridors of Olympus- I won't drag everyone into darkness with me- papa answered my dad's questioning gaze.

-Drag ME with you- the King of Olympus demanded seductively to his Queen, I took that as my queue to leave. The last thing I needed was to see my parents have sex against a wall, like horny teenagers.

-Dear husband are you all right?- my wife asked me concerned. I just smiled and kissed her forehead, enjoying the silence as much as I could before war. Out of the blue Leo barged into my palace with Octavian, Reyna, Frank and Luke trailing behind him- What's wrong?- Piper demanded to know. There was a bit of panic in her tone, which only made me hate Hera even more. I was her husband and I should be able to defend her from everything, even fear.

-I finished it!- my best friend announced with a mad smile, my little sister looked proud as she pecked his lips. Leo had always been a little bit crazy but this unfocused gaze he had wasn't his normal ones, this one had satisfaction behind it- I finally finished Argo II.

-As the boat that my name keeper used to travel with?- I asked confused about how this will help us against the giants.

-It is a war boat- replied my brother rolling his eyes at me, as if he was treating with an annoying kid. I always hated that about him, he always thought so superior from all of us.

-Not any kind of war boat- corrected Frank- I had never seen something like that!

-It's not that much...- a blushing Leo tried to take the attention off him.

-It is- replied Reyna excitedly- Argo II is a huge innovation to future wars! And it will surely help us defeat the giants.

-What they are saying is true Leo- Luke spoke for the first time- But we will need some demigod's help, which won't be difficult to find. After all we have the influence of the Roman God and the Greek God.

-What about Hylla?- I asked them confused- She surely will want to participate.

-She is already fighting- Octavian told us- She and her Amazons are attacking those who allied themselves with the Giants and Hera- my brother spat the name of that bitch as if he was saying a curse... "Maybe I should tell dad about that. Instead of using grand-pa's name as a curse, we use this bitch's one".

-How did you finished it so fast?- Piper asked her brother impressed.

-I had been working on it with Calypso ever since Octavian's and Luke's wedding- he answered happily, not noticing Reyna's glare. "Good luck Leo! My sister is just as possessive as my dad"- She promised to keep the secret so we won't have problems when we sneak away. We just need to know if you are both coming, we all already say yes.

-Of course we are!- Piper and I answered at the same time.

-Then let's get going!- Luke told us- We don't have time to lose!

"Get ready Hera that we are going for you!".
