How Zeus Feels
I was walking down the hall of my home on Olympus when I spotted Artemis. "Artemis." I called out. She brings her head up and turns to face me. "Yes?" she asks. I bite my tongue then ask. "How is Thalia?" Artemis blinks in surprise then smiles. "She is doing good Lord Zeus." I nod and continue on.
When I reach the throne room I head to mine and sit done. I look over to Poseidon's throne and smile remembering how I also felt relief when I found out he broke the oath, too. I was no longer the only one who did. And on top of that Hades the only one who actually followed through. How ironic. I sigh and look over to Poseidon's thrown again. Peruses Jackson. My nephew.
Although I would never admit, I actually like that brat. Mostly because he saved my daughter, but also because he's a true hero. Even Dionysus was willing to say that, of course not to 'Peter Johnson's' face, but he still said it. Heck all the gods and goddesses like him. Can't really blame them, though. He did defeat Kronos. Well I'm not sure I would say Athena likes him. More like puts up with him for her daughter. I have a feeling though, if he didn't fall in love with her favorite daughter she would like him. Or maybe she already does, she's just not willing to admit it.
Anyway, back to the point of how I will only admit to myself how much I ca-ca-care for my nephew. He's guts, he's loyal, and he doesn't care about power. He even managed to rescue my precious Master Bolt. Much more impressive then defeating Kronos. Well at least in my mind it is. Hmm. I might even have to start letting that brat fly. Well I already would, but I might just tell him that. I mean it isn't everyday I like a demigod, especially when it's Poseidon's son.
Well maybe I shouldn't tell him. I mean he did prove me wrong with the Mater Bolt. Then taking care of Atlas, and even Kronos. Then on top of that making a full of us gods by turning down immortality. And then demanding we pay more attention to our kids. Grrrr. I know he's right, but it's still annoying.
Well it's decided then. I'll care about Percy. I just won't let him know. Haha I'm a genius my little nephew.
