3rd Pov (Council meeting)

After Zeus announced that the camper are requested to tell the council what happened that would cause Perseus Jackson to flee camp, most of the campers who contributed to it wore horrified expression looking upon the fuming figure of Lord Poseidon. Annabeth stepped forward and said she is partly to blame for what happened to him at camp days after he discovered she was cheating on him with her current boyfriend Will Solace and went on to explain what she saw had started to happen to him. When she was done she looked a bit ashamed of her actions and all of the gods had disgusted expressions more so Athena, Poseidon and Apollo. Zeus than proceeded to summon all those directly involved to the abuse of Percy and nearly every new camper stepped forward all looking scared. "Why did you attack my son? You answer better be a good one or you will die" said Poseidon in a deadly low voice that told everyone in the room that there would be no negotiating it some of the camper will die and this horrified every god but they agreed that young Percy did not deserve such a fate and to make matters worse Chiron handed Zeus a letter signalling that the camper did indeed abuse him.

Will Solace stepped forward and told the gods what he saw the campers doing to Percy and yet he never fought back and he called out the names of those responsible and each looked absolutely terrified and close to tear. Apollo while they were retelling the events noticed that they were more graphic than Percy first indicated and he was beyond pissed and not Percy because she told him the whole truth just censored.

All the gods looked extremely disturbed about what these campers had done and secretly had an agreement that they must be purged from the world, because they could not let such evil go unpunished. Percy knew what the Olympians were planning but she had no desire to stop it so she looked at hestia for guidance and she too looked to agree with the council for once. The 50 so named campers lead by Drew were summoned to stand in front of the throne room to receive their punishment. "We the council have decided that you spend the next month in the field of punishment living through what you did to Perseus" Athena said not wanting to look about campers and then the entire council sent a blast towards the campers sending them to their punishment.

After the sentencing had been carried out the council flashed the campers that were left back to Camp Half Blood. "On to the main order of business, Artemis what have you found on the whereabouts of Perseus?" Zeus asked with hope slipping through in his tone. Artemis rose from her throne and said "We found nothing it's as if her didn't exist" "What do you mean by that?" asked Athena. "I mean there is absolutely not trace of him anywhere, and we gave up" said Artemis looking ashamed to have failed her search. Apollo looked amused that his sister failed to find Percy and whats worse Percy is in the room, Apollo couldn't help but smile and wink at Percy who chuckled at his antics and they little display did was seen by Athena who asked "Who are you and how long have you been here?". Most of the gods were dumbfounded by her beauty and the fact she appeared to wear no makeup and Aphrodite just looked jealous that there was someone more beautiful than her. As Percy was about answer, Poseidon answered for her "She is my daughter". That shook the gods and when Percy was asked if it was true she just nodded. "What's your name child?" hera asked in her usual condescending tone toward any child not her own. "My name is Persephone Allura Jackson, formerly Perseus Jackson" she said a devious grin. The god that didn't know, were all gaping at her looking astounded. Artemis was the first to recover and offered Percy a place amongst her hunter, which Percy rejected faster than offer, was made and explained that she doesn't hate men, in fact is in love with one looking at Apollo who had the biggest smile they have ever seen. "You reject my offer because you are in love with my fool of brother?" asked Artemis clearly looking offended by the rejection of her offer. Percy fiercely said "Apollo is no fool Artemis, you know he is the god of knowledge, it seems you have forgotten that and when last did you speak to him as sister?" "Girl, don't forget your place, I'm an Olympian goddess" Artemis looking murderously at Percy. All the gods were stunned by how someone had defended Apollo, but Poseidon just laughed and said to Artemis "You child need to swallow your pride and acknowledge you yourself are far from perfect, you have caused many families grief over the years and you best know you place as well dear niece" Artemis looked scared and continued to glare at Percy.

"Artemis pride and an ego are your character flaws, and I know my place" Athena said simply which earned confused looks from most gods and she continued to try to calm down Artemis before she does something stupid that we might regret. "How did you remain hidden from us for so long?" asked Athena, which Percy shrugged and said "I didn't hide, I never left New York". "Than how did you evade Artemis?" "truthfully Artemis is goddess of the wilderness and only hunts monsters and animals, but I'm not an animal nor do I think like one so she was useless in her search for me, You lady Athena would have found me immediately" she said laughing.

Artemis had truly had enough of Percy insulting her so she fired an arrow at her and Percy simple caught it looking bored, "to think I was advised to invite you to the council, I see now you are not worthy, Zoe would be ashamed of you!". Artemis looked to raise hell over the comments, but deep down her behaviour was not befitting of an Olympian goddess and she hung her head I shame and Apologised sincerely.

Percy smiled and said "I told you she would pass the test" her father just laughed at her remark. "Ok, Percy you and Zoe where right, she is worthy of a place on the council" Percy snapped her fingers and transported the Olympians to the Olysian council throne room which was enormous and the Olympians looked on in awe as they saw 100ft tall figures of Triton, Amphitrite, Hestia, Zoe and Poseidon sitting on their thrones. Zeus looked outraged that his brother was a member of another council and was about to vent his anger until he saw Percy walking walking forward to one of the 2 thrones that were grander than the others that sat at the centre of the now 22 thrones, Percy grew to her godly height and sat on her throne calling the council members to the throne room and a while later 12 figures flashed in, revealing the entire Primordial council, shocking the Olympians and Percy said

Line break

"The council shall pay for their insolence and I will make them kneel before me" said a figure in black. "We only want the girl do what you want to the others, we shall be avenged" another figure said with twisted laugh and than flashed out.
