"What is the reason you have called us here father?" Lady Artemis asked Zeus from her seat in the throne room. "Because I have had to leave my hunters, they have been forced to go to Camp Half-Blood, so this better have a good reason." Artemis added non-impressed with the current situation. She hated leaving her hunters, even more so when there were boys around, but Artemis trusted her hunters not to break their oaths.
"The reason I have called you here is it has recently come to my attention that the demigods have taken us for granted. Remember the nerve of Perseus Jackson when he turned down our gift of immortality? Or the disrespect my wife Hera has received from various demigods? I suggest that we re-enforce the Games of Olympus! To show those demigods that we still own them, and we can end their lives whenever we want. This will force them to honour and respect us. What do you think?" As Zeus said this, the throne room went silent, a few of the other gods nodded agreeing with their king but a few such as Poseidon and Athena disagreed.
"All in favour of re-enforcing the Games of Olympus raise your-"
"Wait, I have a question." Hades interrupted Zeus and stood up from his throne. "Unlike back in ancient Greece, not everyone has children that they can put into these games. I only have one son and no daughter. That is hardly fair! I will not be represented properly."
"That does not matter, what matters is the children of Olympus must be shown that we are not a force to be taken for granted. All in favour of re-enforcing the Games of Olympus raise your hand." After Zeus said this there was silence around the throne room. No body moved at first but soon a few hands here and there went up. The owners of these hands were Ares, Zeus (of course), Dionysius – but everyone just thought he was raising his hand to get this meeting over and done with, as he wasn't even paying attention to what was going on, - Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Demeter and Hera. The council had reached a decision.
"So it is decided. Two demigods, one male and one female from each god or goddess will be put into these Games." Zeus' loud voice echoed around the throne room on Olympus. "Each god or goddess will be able to choose their representing demigods. You have a day to inform you children and get them back here for their training." After Zeus said this the gods from the throne room all moved away, to go look for their children. The last to leave was Poseidon. He didn't feel any need to rush because he only had one son, and he wanted his son to enjoy his last day of having a normal – well as normal as the life of a demigod can be – life, before we would be put into the Games of Olympus, where only one demigod will survive.
