"Percy?"

Percy turned to see his cousin wwalking torwdes him. "What's up Nico?'

"So your dad is Poseidon and my dad is Hades. Which makes us cousin," Percy nodded, "Well I was thinking how that made my dad better then yours,'

"Seriously?"

"Well yeah! Think about it. Mines control's the dead. He could kill everything out of spite. He could be like, 'Bye bitch,' and kill everyone," Nico said. He made a big show of raising the dead and smirked at Percy.

"So can mine Nico. He could kill everyone you know."

"Yeah but mine can control your after life,"

Percy shook his head. "Nico I am going to walk away. You and Thalia are just pranking me,"


"Yo Percy!"

"Thalia what?"

"Really? Is that how you greet me? Your favorite cousin?"

Percy rolled his eyes. "You're not my favorite, Apollo is," Percy gave her a look that said, 'Duh!'

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me,"

"Well that means my dad is better then yours!"

"Oh my gods,"

"Your favorite cousin is his son. So that makes him better obviously,"

"Thalia stop. Seriously. At least Nico tried,"

'Seaweed brains don't walk away from me!"


"Brother I believe Nico is right. I am the better of us three," Hades said.

"I must disagree obviously I am better!" Zeus said. Lightning flashed around Olympus. Everyone out side the throne room grew quiet.

"Shall we see about that? A duel?"

"A duel!"

"To think I am related to you fools," Poseidon sighed tiredly.
