I'm back. I read all of your reviews on there being not enough reaction. There was a reason for that and if you want to find out what it is, I suggest you read the rest of the chapter.

Now back to the story.

Next morning

YAWN! I woke up to the feeling of heat close to my face. Great, Hestia's burning me again. When I turned my head I noticed that she wasn't burning me, thank God for that, but instead I saw her tending to a camp fire.

"Finally, you're awake. You know you move a lot in your sleep. Now come one, eat some breakfast." She said in an almost motherly tone. She summoned some food and waited for me to get up.

"Yes, mo- Hestia." I said noticing her glare as I got up. "I want to eat the camp food." I whined.

"No time for that, besides I wanted to tell you what you had missed out on after you left." She said giddily.

"Fine." I grumbled and swallowed down the food. Not bad though, could use a little more salt. As I finished Hestia put out the flame and at closer to me.

"Now, can you tell me what I had missed out on?" I said looking at her.

"After you left, all hell broke loose. Poseidon was mad that you had disrespected him and wanted to turn you into sea sludge but I told him the same threat I told Zeus. While all this happened the campers started to glare daggers at Annabeth and Marcus. I thought they were actually going to try and kill them but I guess that they were terrified of the consequences brought down by Athena." She said with a gleam in her eyes.

"Whoa slow down, you seem to be enjoying this a little too much. Are you the real Hestia or are you Ares in disguise?" I said sceptically.

"Oh Percy, it's the real me. I may be an old goddess but I certainly enjoy watching a little live action drama. And if you still don't believe me I will have to burn your shirt to change your mind." She threatened pointing her finger at me.

"You immortals are so temper mental." I said throwing my hands up into the air.

"Will you at least let me finish my story?" She said glaring at me for my comment. I nodded my head for her to continue afraid of what my mouth would say.

"After the topic of you died down, everyone turned on me and asked why I had given up on being a maiden goddess." She said. I swear I could have heard a little laughter in there but shrugged it off. "Athena and Artemis were shocked at what I did whereas Ares was trying not to barf. Aphrodite was beaming and Hephaestus and Dionysus, as to be expected of them didn't care at all. But the best reactions were from my brothers and sister. They were furious; they wanted to destroy you and a lot of other thing which I don't feel like discussing. Hades even offered to put you into Tartarus." She said and I knew then and there that she was laughing her head off on the inside. "You should have seen their faces once I began to do what I promised. They began to whimper, Hades and Zeus had tears in their eyes. They all begged me to stop it and that they would promise not to destroy you." She said letting go of herself as she began to roll on the floor laughing.

"Okay Hermes, where is my girlfriend and what have you done with her?" I said still surprised by Hestia reaction. She was supposed to be the controlled one in our relationship.

"I am neither Hermes nor Ares. Just because I like to have fun doesn't mean I'm crazy." She said clutching her sides from laughing too much.

"You sure could have fooled me." I mumbled to myself.

"What was that?" She asked returning back to her normal old self.

"Oh nothing, I was just saying that I have such a wonderful girl to call my own." I said hoping to cover my ass. I thought that she might have heard what I had really heard but she decided to buy my story for now.

"Thank you Percy. Now, let's go to the war meeting you commanded. You were supposed to be there a few minutes ago and I don't think my brothers can handle their anger for you any longer." She said and smiled as I started to run around looking for some fresh clothes while taking a quick shower-walk. As soon as I finished, she grabbed my hand and transported us to the throne room. The other gods were already seated on their thrones while the immortal head campers and Chiron sat across from them in the corridor which led to the door.

"Welcome, oh great Peter. It is an honour to be bestowed by your presence." Dionysus said sarcastically as I guessed that his fear over me had disappeared once I revealed my identity. I ignored him and froze the water in the air around me into the shape of a chair. I sat down next to Hestia's place at the hearth and looked up at the ceiling and tried to find the constellations of famous heroes.

"Tell me where the Titans and Giants are based." I said still not looking at the Gods.

"You dare not even look at our faces weak demigod. You dare sit there and look away from us." Ares said angry that I had defeated him twice in my life.

"Ares, I don't think you have any right calling me weak seeing as I defeated you not once but twice." I said still looking up.

"Why do disrespect us boy? What have we done to deserve such defiance?" Demeter said.

"Weren't you paying attention yesterday or were you thinking of cereal again? I already told you the reason why. You all ignored me when I did so much for you, so now it's my turn to ignore you." I said glaring at Poseidon.

"Now tell me where the Titans and Giants are based or should I leave you all to your demise." I said turning my head towards the stars once again.

"Why should we tell you anything? You are no threat to us." Zeus said with anger in his eyes.

"I may not be a threat to you, but the giants and the titans put together would sure be. Last time I was able to defeat both of them separately when my training was poor. Now, I think I can take them easily." I said looking at Zeus in the eye. "Even though you think you can handle the Titans, you will be no match to the Giants as they are created specifically to destroy you. You can only help them if you work with a demigod." I finished.

"Bah, we don't need your help. The immortal campers will be able to help us." Poseidon spoke up. "Why, I think Marcus will be able to defeat both the Titans and Giants all by himself."

"Dad, please-" Marcus began to interject.

"Shut up Poseidon. You're just blinded by anger. You think that you should be respected by a son whom you've helped a lot." I said finally letting my anger show. "I don't think you deserve it, you abandoned me! You believed Annabeth's story about why I left even though all of you knew my fatal flaw was loyalty. Now that I'm back, you all expect me to bow down before you as if you helped me out at all. The only gods I'm supposed to respect are Thanatos, Artemis, Hermes, Apollo and of course Hestia. They helped me out and tried to look for me when I left. They didn't sit here whining." I finished my monologue.

Hestia took my hand and held it close to the fire. My anger ebbed away as the heat travelled my body. I closed my eyes and began to think to myself, just random thoughts, nothing specific.

"Father, I think you should let Percy help us." I heard someone say.

"Marcus? Why would you want to side with your brother? He hates us all." Poseidon said glaring at his second son. I wasn't mad but I was surprised at my brother's request. That guy took over my place at camp, took all my friends and even took away my girlfriend. Now he wants me to lead everyone in the war.

"Yes, Marcus, why did you side with me?" I asked turning to look at him.

"Well... I..." He started to stutter before regaining his power over his mouth. "I recently found out that I am very bad at making life and death decisions-"

"Recently? We've been telling you since you cost some campers their lives a few decades ago." Travis interrupted.

"And secondly, you're very powerful and I wouldn't want to see you on the opposite side of the battle field." He said ignoring what Travis had said. I could see that he old egotistic Marcus had left and was replaced by a much more humble guy.

"Fine, we'll accept his help. Only because of what Marcus said, not because we need you or anything." Poseidon said finally realising that both his eldest sons were against him.

"Now will you all tell me where they are located? Seriously, with all these questions you'd think me and were getting married." I said without thinking. I realised that I had made a huge mistake but what's done is done.

"WHY THE HELL DO YOU SAY IT LIKE THAT?" Hestia yelled standing up. "DON'T YOU LOVE ME ENOUGH TO MARRY ME?" She said storming off. I followed her as she went to the corridor and grabbed her hand to stop her from moving. She turned around and slapped me in my face but I didn't let go.

"Hestia, listen to me. I didn't mean it like that, I really love you with all my heart but I don't know if you and I could get married." I said knowing that it was the time.

"What do you mean? We both love each other and want to be with each other forever. Isn't that enough?" She asked with tears in her eyes.

"I think we need to talk." I said looking both sides to make sure no one was there.

"You're breaking up with me? After all I did, you want to break up-" Hestia said crying. I kissed her to make her keep quiet and knelt down on one knee.

"Lady Hestia, do you want to know why I said that statement in the Throne room? It was because I was thinking of you the whole time and when I was going to propose. And I think this is the right time. We've spent 50 year together as I've loved you with all my heart for all the years." I said as I took out a small box from my back pocket.

WAIT! I know you're all thinking as to when I had the time to get a ring and how Hestia or you didn't even know about it. First of all I didn't get the ring; I made it when no one was there at the forges. Secondly, my life is not an open book to everyone. I'm completely capable of keeping a few things secret from Hestia and you all. Now back to the proposal.

"I know I haven't gotten your father's blessing but I don't think Kronos would mind. And I don't care what the other gods think. So, without anymore waiting, I ask you Lady Hestia will you be my wife." I asked popping open the lid and showing her a gold ring with a diamond on top.

I had gotten the metals from the river Styx. You know people throw a lot of useful stuff down there, there was this one time when I found a- I'm not going to tell you, it's not safe for your innocent little minds. Once again I tell you all to go back to my proposal scene.

"Percy..." she said picking up the ring.

AND CLIFFHANGER. MUHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I know that you may all think the proposal was pointless but seriously they spend fifty years together and nothing else happens, what the hell is that all about.

Anyway I hope you liked it and sorry if I was a little late. I have exams coming up and really have to study or else I'm screwed.

Review and tell me what you think. And don't try to kill me or else you'll never find out what happens. I just love being evil.
