Olympus
Third Person POV
Zeus looked down on Camp Half-Blood, watching as Perseus and Charles trained for the upcoming operation.
A mission to destroy the Princess Andromeda, a cruise ship carrying an army of monsters and demigods, all loyal to his father. Kronos, king of the titans and lord of time.
A truly daunting foe to face for a second time. Did he have confidence that they would win this war and send Kronos back to the abyss? Indeed he did.
But everything just might rely on this one operation. Everything was coming down to the wire now. Even the smallest advantages, the smallest victories, could mean the difference between life and death, victory or defeat, tyranny or peace.
As it often was in times of war. And as it would always be, even after the era of the gods.
It was a simple fact.
While he looked down at Camp Half-Blood, deep within his own thoughts, Hestia appeared in the hearth with Natsu, the flames rising with them. Hestia had Natsu step back so that she would be the first thing Zeus sees, he might thing Natsu is an intruder if he sees him without knowing why he was there.
Especially considering he never went to either of the camps. Zeus would assume hes with Kronos and kill him.
Hestia coughed into her hand to get her youngest brothers attention.
"Zeus, I would like to speak with you if you have the time." Of course she knew he had the time. It was just best to be polite in this situation.
Zeus shifted on his throne and looked at his familys voice of reason, and the ldest among them, "Hestia, dear sister. What is it that you require of me?"
"I wanted to talk to you about something, or rather someone." Hestia had a warm smile on her face as she said this.
Zeus merely raised an eyebrow before he went and glanced behind her, "I'm assuming it has to do with the pink haired boy in strange clothing?"
"Hey! Its not pink its salmon!"
Zeus merely raised his other eyebrow at this small outburst. It seems that his hair color was a bit of a sore subject for him, "Alright, salmon hair. So Hestia, does it have ti do with him? Or rather why his presence feels remarkably similar to yours?" At this, Zeus' eyes narrowed at his sister ever so slightly. While he trusted her he didn't know what to think about this.
Hestia didn't back down though, she didn't even seem very surprised that Zeus had figured things out, "Yes, it does. I'm going to explain everything to you, but you have to promise not to do anything before I'm done explaining everything. Alright?"
Zeus nodded his head in agreement. It was more than readonable, not to mention hes never had a reason to distrust Hestia before, "Alright sister, then please tell me the situation."
Hestia took a deep breath before she then let it out, trying to calm her nerves, "Well, he is my son. He became my son when Hecate asked me for a favor a while ago. It ended with me putting a part of my own essence into the boy and making him my son to save him, though he was extremely young when I saved him. What I did was enough to make him my own. I was taken away from him as soon as I had saved his life though, only to realize what he was to me after a few days. These past few years, Hecate had been gathering power to bring him here. And here we all are."
Zeus just sat on his throne as he thought about what his sister had told him. She now had a son, and without breaking her vow. He didn't need to worry about punishing her. What he did need to worry about, is what Kronos would do to the boy to get to Hestia one he found out about him, and subsequently the rest of the olympians.
"That is a very interesting story Hestia. I need to know a few things though, is he strong and can he fight?"
Hestia had a small frown on her face, clearly not expecting her brother to accept him so easily, "I'm not entirely sure of his combat prowess."
Zeus seemingly expected this answer and nodded, "Alright. Before we continue this however, I feel we should call the rest of the council so that they may be filled in on the situation, then we can find out how he is in combat. Agreed?"
Hestia nodded and went to stand by Natsu.
Zeus grabbed his symbol of power, the Master Bolt, and pointed it at the center of the throne rooms ceiling. He fired a single low powered shot, the electricity jumping to each of the thrones through Zeus' command.
They sat in silence for a minute, simply waiting for the other olympians to arrive.
When the first of them started to flash in, Hestia immediately covered Natsus eyes, not wanting him to be turned to ash. Happy was already hiding his face in Natsus scarf.
And at long last, all of the olympians were there, sitting upon their thrones and grumbling in irritation. They didn't see the point of a surprise meeting, especially when all of them had more important things to do because of the war.
"Brother, I need this meeting to be over quickly. We're losing ground against Oceanus, me being gone will give him an ample oppurtunity to push us back." Poseidon, the second youngest. He had seen better days though. While he was a god, anyone could telk the god of the seas was exhausted. Silver grey hair, stress lines marking his face, a slightly dark look on his face as well.
(AN: I don't remember if it was a silver grey or white, but either way the grey is intended since this is a little bit before he gets down to that stage.)
Zeus nodded, knowing now was not the time to argue and antagonize his brother. He and the rest of the olympians were worried for him.
"Of course brother, this hopefully won't take too long so you can get back to defending your home.
"I wanted to bring something to the councils attention. Or rather, I wanted ti bring someone to the councils attention. Hestia, go on."
Hestia sighed and stepped forward, "We need to make this quick, so I'm not going to give the full backstory like I did with Zeus, you can all find out from him the whole story later. To put it simply, the salmon haired boy with me is my son and I didn't break my vow to have him." She winced slightly as all the yelling started.
"A son?! How?! That shouldn't be possible without breaking your vow aunt Hestia!" Hermes spoke up, looking at her.
"I knew one of the maiden goddesses was bound to fall! I wonder whos next on the list." Aphrodite had a grin on her face to go along with her smug tone.
"You shut your mouth Aphrodite and show some more respect to Hestia!" Artemis had her bow out, ready to put an arrow in Aphrodites chest.
"Oh, Hestia, congrats! I'm so happy for you!" Demeter, always peaceful and always trusting Hestia.
"Everyone, SHUT UP RIGHT NOW!" Hestias eyes blazed in fury while Natsu was on his knees, holding his hands up to his ears.
"Owww.. damn it.." They all stared at him for a second, wondering what his problem was.
It was at that moment that Happy decided to get out of Natsus scarf, "I can explain why hes reacting the way he is."
Ares sneered at the blue exceed, his knife out as he cleaned his fingernails of dirt, "Oh yeah cat? Whats the explanation for the wimp going down to the ground like that?"
Happy just rolled his mind at the simple minded god. He could tell he would never make it in Fairy Tail.
"Natsu is what is called a dragon slayer back home. He is called a dragon slayer because of a lost magic that he uses called dragon slayer magic. Dragon slayer magic allows Natsu to consume fire that is not his own and turn it into stremgth, as well as wield fire in combat. The other thing about dragon slayer magic though is that enhances the wielders senses."
Apollo looked at the tiny exceed in interest, "How much are their senses enhanced?"
"Well, it can depend on strength or just the person. I would say Natsus sense of hearing, smell, and sight is 3-5 times that or a normal humans. It can also depend in the person though, this one other dragon slayer having suuuper enhancex hearing."
"And that concludes a lesson with professor Happy! Aye!" Happy was in his little suit.
Hermes shot up in his seat, "Where did the cat get the little suit?!"
Happys suit vanished without a trace, "What suit?"
"What... how... Ok never mind lets move on."
Poseidon sat forward in his seat, becoming intrigued with Hestias child, "Is that so... brother, if I may ask, how shall we tell the childs strength? I assume you had that in mind as well?"
Zeuz nodded, "Yes, I do brother. Natsu, have you ever fought?"
"Have I ever fought? Man I have lost track of how many fights I've had!"
Zeus had a small smile on his face, "Yes, I'm sure you have been. Would you mins picking a fight and letting Hera display it for all of us to watch?"
Natsu shrugged, "Sure man, go for it."
Zeus had to say, Natsus informality was rather refreshing.
After a moment, Natsu nodded, "Alright, I got the fight that I'll show you. Do I just need to think about it and she will do the rest, or..?"
"No, you just need to think about the fight and Hera will bring up the whole memory. Dear, if you would be so kind?" Hera nodded and got up from her throne, walking up to Natsu.
She put her hand up to his forehead, after a moment there was a bright flash and each of the Olympians had a screen in front of them with the fight about to play.
Hera went and sat in her own throne before she started the memories...
Yeah, gonna let you guys think of which fight they are watch. No, I'm not gonna say 'They watched this fight and were impressed' I will rewatch the fight again as I right the scene, so I can get the right dialouge and such. Plus I want them to have actual reactions. Remember to follow, favorite, and review!
