Chapter 7

Another chapter, finally posted by me. As I write this, I am on a trip, and have some time to write, but it can't tell me if I messed up the spelling or grammar, so please don't just review with those.

Mount Olympus

The gods were in an uproar. They had watched, wide-eyed, as Percy conversed with the wolves about whether or not to help them free Fenrir, Hati, and Skoll, 3 of the biggest villains in Norse history. Zeus slashed through the IM, and the gods started all either shouting, thinking quietly, or both. (A.N. this means thought, and just normal is shouting. Also, Hades and Hestia were called in.)

Zeus-"What did I tell you all?! This boy is a traitor and must not be allowed to live!" Finally, I can put that bastard out of his happy life.

Poseidon-"We don't know the full story!" Why, where did I go wrong? Why would he betray me like this? Maybe he was being controlled?

Hera-"I always knew that disrespectful brat was no good!" I will have revenge for his insults in the Labyrinth!

Demeter-"I must agree with Poseidon, We don't know the full story yet! Zeus! Put the IM back up! Perseus might still say no! Remember, he often would taunt enemies! This could just be a taunt! I hope I'm right. I don't want to hurt my daughter, as she has already lost multiple friends arguing over this hero. Also, she was there, the other gods might kill her!

Hades-No, Percy's not betraying us. Fenrir came to me, back before he was chained, and told me that his chains wouldn't be real, because the prophecy said that once he got free, that would start Ragnarock. So, someone switched the chains to keep the Norse from fucking up too badly, and Fenrir came to me, his best friend, but asked me to keep it a secret, on the River Styx. He didn't want to be imprisoned for millennia with his best friend thinking he was evil.

Hestia-I don't think Percy would betray us, but I have to believe the evidence too. This is almost certainly coming to a vote. I guess I'll stay neutral, it's the only thing that makes sense.

Ares-"Let's kill the punk!"

Athena-"While I don't normally do this, this time I'll agree with Ares." A perfect way to eliminate a potential threat.

Apollo-"You all don't seriously believe this, do you" As the god of truth, this is the biggest bullsh*t ever.

Hermes-"What Apollo said"

Hephaestus-"Everyone should know my opinion"

Artemis-"He's just a boy"

Dionysius-*snore*

Aphrodite-"Travis and Katie look so cute together!" Causing everyone to look at her in shock.

Eventually they agreed to turn on the IM again.

Li/ne (This is what was happening before the gods turned on the IM again. Another A.N. when they turn it back on.)

"Isn't Fenrir supposed to be evil, though? Like bringing the apocalypse and all that?" I asked.

Slightly Gruesome

"That's what the gods said. But Fenrir was loyal to Asgard and the gods, to Loki and Odin in particular. Then Odin betrayed him, and Loki, who tried to help, was forced to watch as one of his sons was turned into a wolf and ripped apart his brother. After that, the gods bound Loki in a cave with his dead son's intestines, and Skadi bound a serpent over him so that venom continuously dripped in his face. Loki's wife Siguna stood by him and helped him by catching the venom in a bowl. However, Odin thought that she was eventually going to let Loki escape by dripping venom on the bonds, as no one could find the cave other than him, Loki, and Siguna. So, when Siguna went out of the cave to empty the bowl, Odin sent winds to tip the bowl all over Siguna. Unfortunately, the reason that Loki was in a cave was that the venom grew far more deadly if it is exposed to wind, and Siguna was drenched in the incredibly deadly venom. She faded, in extreme agony." Nightsbane said. "I swear on Ginnungagap."

Gruesome over.

"Wow" Nico said. "That's brutal."

"You believe him?" I asked. "It seems oddly like exactly what I thought it would be like, which makes no sense since I'm always wrong."

"Yes, I believe him, death gods from different pantheons communicate. Hel told us that Ginnungagap is the most serious oath you can make. It would be like Zeus swearing on his kingship; extremely rare, but great if you can get it."

"The young Lord is correct." Nightsbane said.

Everyone was stunned into silence, leaving the wolves rather confused. Wasn't this normal?

"LORD?!" Nico managed to get out.

"Yes, you are Fenrir's favored, after all."

"Cool" I put in.

"Anyway, I apologize for pushing you, but can we please have the gem?"

Gods turn IM back on cause fuck Percy lol.

"Sure, I don't see why not," I said.

3rd person Mount Olympus

"You have the proof right in front of you now." Athena stated "We shall put it to a vote. Who votes for Perseus and his accomplices to die?"

Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Artemis, Athena, Ares, Dionysus and Aphrodite voted him dead.

Hephaestus and Hades voted for Perseus to live.

Apollo, Hermes, Hestia and Demeter stayed neutral.

"It is decided," Zeus boomed out. "Hermes, please bring the traitors here."

Hermes pretended not to hear.

"HERMES!"

Hermes was tapping away at his phone, not caring in the least.

"Fine, Ares, bring them, but don't kill them yet."

"Yes, Father"

In the junkyard

Nico POV

Percy had just handed the gem over when a light flashed and all of us faceplanted on a hard marble floor. I looked up and saw the 14 Olympians.

"Perseus Jackson!" Zeus boomed.

"Yes?"

"You and your friends have been sentenced to death for attempting to free Fenrir. Do you have any last words?"

"What!" I shouted. "Why would you do this!?"

"Because you have betrayed us." Poseidon said coldly.

"Father?"

"I'm sorry, Nico." Hades said. "I do not believe that any of you are guilty, but my brothers seem to insist on killing off my sons and other heroes. I can tell you that me and Hephaestus voted for you all to live, while Apollo, Hermes, Hestia, and Demeter stayed neutral."

"Thank you Father"

"Know that wherever you are, that you are the best child the House of Hades has ever seen."

I smiled sadly, as Percy snapped out of his shock.

"Dad?" he whispered.

"You are no son of mine." growled Poseidon.

Percy flinched with the realization that his father had told him he wasn't his son, after voting for him to die.

"Please, just let my friends live." Percy begged.

"Fine, but they will still be punished." said Hera, as she rather liked Katie.

"Deal." Percy said.

"Now you die!" Zeus hurled his Master bolt straight at Percy.

Short I know, but I need this cliffhanger.
