Threats revealed

Percy POV

When Ananke rose from her seat with a grim expression painted on her face, I stiffened, as she never does anything without reason.

Ananke sighed and said "Chronos and I have discovered that the real threat is bigger than anything we are ready for."

"What? You have? Who is it?" I asked very worried.

"The threat is…Helix brother of Chaos and Order" Ananke said. "He is the Primordial of the Destruction"

Everyone in the throne room was silent. "What are we to do?" Hydros asked. "Surely as brother of the creator, we don't have the power to challenge him"

I looked at Delian and my Parents and they nodded to me what I should do. Which that I scoped out Helix and his Power.

"Ah little queen. We meet at last." A man said and I assumed him to be Helix.

"You are Helix I presume" I said and he nodded.

"Yes I am. Little queen," he replied "I know your secret"

I looked at him confused. "What secret would that be?" I asked

"You have hidden your true power and your most powerful domains" he said "I know what those domains are"

I narrowed my eyes at him. "And what might they be Helix?" I asked.

"O the little queen wants to play games," he said, "I love games. Primordial of matter and energy"

I just shrugged "yep those are my domains alright," I said, "but can you do against them, because I can sense your power and as it stands. You are not powerful enough to take me on and I presume that is why you want my kids. Let me warn you Helix go anywhere near them and I will remove you from existence as a whole the painful way. I hope we understand each other"

He paled at my words and tried to cover it up. "Ha…you're not that powerful" he said and my eyes glowed with power and took and removed all of his energy and slumped to the ground and as I was absorbing it I purified it removing all traces of his essence.

When the essences he attached to his energy completely returned to him. His eyes widened in pure shock.

"Now you know. We will be ready for you and thanks for the power boost" I said before returning to the council room.

When my conscientiousness returned to the throne room I noticed that they were all staring at me with wide eye. "What?" I asked.

"Percy you have been asleep for seven hours" said Ananke. "What did you see there?"

I sighed. "I had a little chat with Helix." I said. "He is immensely powerful, but he is too arrogant."

"Yes, I know" said Chronos. "But the war will be fierce. He is nearly omnipotent. I don't know why he isn't"

"I know why," I said, "Chaos is creation and destruction, while he is the Primordial of destruction. But because he is a brother of Chaos his power is ten times greater than the this council's"

The other Primordials sighed at my words "Then how are we supposed to defeat him?" asked Artemis

"We must train even harder and the new god must also be pushed even further" I said and everyone in the room nodded abate reluctantly.

"Percy I think we should end the meeting for today" said Athena "Tomorrow is new day and we will need you fresh. So I suggest that tomorrow's meeting start in the morning and also invite the Olympian council to let them know of the rising threat."

All of the councillors nodded and I declared that council dismissed and flashed home. I didn't realise how sleepy I was until I was at home and I realised that the twins were now fast asleep and they looked so precious. "Delian. We must get stronger fro them" I said and he agreed with me

"Yes I agree with, but that will not be easy and also we will never become as strong as we would like to be." Apollo said looking at the plush crib bed that our twins sleep in with a sigh he put Lio in the crib and I kiss Eione's forehead before putting her in her crib and I went over and kissed Lio's forehead.

Apollo came from behind scooped me up bridle style and I was tempted to sleep with my head resting on his perfect chest. I went over to his neck and breathed in the scent of is aftershave and it gave me Goosebumps as it was intoxicating to me. "I love you Delian" I said softly in his ear and I saw him smile before he placed a kiss on my lips

"I love you to babe" he said and I let myself fall asleep in his arms.

The next morning I woke up on Apollo bare naked chest and I couldn't help but kiss it and I heard him wake up with a chuckle.

"What is it with you and kissing my chest every morning?" he asked and I blushed "Honestly I love it. Best way to wake up. A beautiful woman's lips resting on your chest" and he sighed contently.

"Sorry I didn't wake up, I am sure that twins woke up aplenty again" I said.

"Yes they did, but aunt Hestia was on it some of the time" Apollo said.

I sighed when I remembered that there is a meeting scheduled and the twins will be with us in there for hours. I got up from his chest or at least I tried to before he pulled back into him.

When we arrived in the council room I noticed that the room was converted into a war room of sorts. It was arranged in a u shape that was similar to that of an amphitheatre with descending seats that looked similar to each person's throne with a podium in front where a person will go when they have plan they would like to share. I noticed that we the last to arrive and Apollo and I along with our twins took our seats.

Athena, Ananke and Chronos walked to the podium and welcomed us to the meeting. "As you are aware, this is a war meeting. Ares yelled in joy. "Ares shut up. This is not something to rejoice about, since if Helix wanted to he could destroy you so shut up and know your place." Said Ananke "The threat of Helix is something I have been dreading, but I have been waiting for it. Mother and Father can not interfere in this war. They are simply too powerful. And it would go against free will"

We all sighed at this, and Ananke continued "Helix is a threat, but he doesn't have the power our parents possess, so he is beatable and we would need to train to even things out. The thing about Helix is that his power is set and cannot be increased. It can only be decreased for a time, unless you absorb his energy. That will weaken him for a while, but beware to cleanse it before you take it within yourself.

The whole room was silent and you could hear a pin drop. "We need to raise an army to combat this threat. For once in our lives we will have to recruit the mortals, even though I don't trust them at all." Said Chronos.

"I agree, but we would need to do this the right way. We need to choose the most benevolent of mortals or else I fear they will try to betray us once the war is done." Athena said and I just sighed. "Any suggestions?"

The whole meeting went on for the next eight hour until I said that we should dismiss the war meeting for today and resume the next day. I felt that this will take a lot of planning and we will need to be patient.

"I motion for the dismissal of the war council meeting for today, as I see that many of us look like they will fall over at any minute." I said and the council agreed to dismiss the meeting. Apollo and I went to the park with kids to relax and I saw Olysian kids laughing and playing with their parents and I smiled.

"We must win this war Percy. We just have to win" Apollo said "This city is truly a city where one can raise their kids in safety. We must preserve it" I smiled at him and he kissed my forehead and we sat at table and summoned some lunch and we ate it with smiles on our faces. When we were done with our little picnic we decided to take in the scenery there were rain clouds on the horizon and in an odd way it made this city more beautiful as nothing was perfect everything had flaw on it, but it was lovely, but I saw that Eione was getting cold so I flashed us back home and gave the twin a nice warm bath and they feel into a blissful sleep I could only hope and we sang them a lullaby to help them along.
