I'm sorry its up late I had two tests this week and then someone left my class on Friday
anyway, here it is
I Crash The Council of The Gods
"This meeting will be fun." Poseidon laughed. Thunder rumbled and a lightning bolt hit Zeus's throne, when it was gone King Airhead himself sat on the throne.
"The council of the Olympians will now begin."
Zeus started ranting about the mortals and their domains, inviting the other Olympians to say any complaints. The ideas Ares alone cam come up to punish mortals were interesting, including riding his Harley into the most monuments as he could. Demeter refrained from contributing. The many ways Athena could find to insult Poseidon were, amusing.
Eventually, after an hour of complaining about mortals and the various gods' realms Zeus asked Artemis about her mission.
"Why don't you ask him?" Artemis pointed at me. Zeus' head snapped round and he finally saw me on Demeter's throne.
"Why is there a mortal in my throne room?" He yelled his face quickly turning red.
"Immortal." I scowled, nearly every being that called me mortal is dead, and I didn't think the gods would like me at all if I killed their King.
"It doesn't matter. This is a private affair between the Olympian gods, you are not welcome here." Zeus sniffed.
"If it is supposed to be a private affair you should make certain that it is one! Anyone, mortal or not could walk in here." I growled. Zeus opened his mouth to reply but was cut off by Poseidon.
"I believe you did want to know what happened with the Hunters, or did you not?" His eyes shone slightly, "I know I want to know what happened." I thanked Poseidon and started speaking.
Once I had finished the gods – and goddesses - were thinking, Athena was in shock, Poseidon was smiling slightly, Apollo looking ready to shoot me through the head for punching Artemis, said goddess was looking at me with an unreadable expression and Zeus was leaning on his throne stroking his master bolt like a puppy.
"Who claims the kid?" Zeus thundered. I growled quietly at being called a kid and was tempted to stalk up to the god and give him a godly sized punch.
"I do brother." I voice said out of the shadows, I smiled and turned to see Hades walk out of a shadow in the corner of the room, Persephone hanging onto his right arm and one scared demigod behind them. The throne room was completely quiet, apart from Apollo tapping his foot on the floor along to music he was listening to on an iPod.
"Lord Hades. Good to see you." I bowed.
"I expected you to come with your brother. Not me having to come and get you." Hades glared at me.
"Sorry Hades." I smiled.
"What are you doing here? You are not allowed in the Throne room, or for that matter, Olympus!"
"I do not answer to you, brother. You have made it quite clear that I am not an Olympian god." Hades drawled. Zeus gripped his master bolt and raised it above his head to throw it.
"Enough!" Poseidon gripped his trident, white showing on his knuckles, "Calm yourselves brothers. It is foolish arguing whilst we are supposed to be working together."
"You see Seth. The gods are foolish, arrogant; they cannot stop fighting amongst themselves in a war." A voice murmured in my mind. I tensed for a second before relaxing.
"Fish face is right. We must stop fighting, at least until the war is over." Athena interrupted. Poseidon opened his mouth to reply but was interrupted by Zeus.
"You broke the oath!"
"Father! Hades is the only one of you three that kept it. Seth we adopted and Nico was born before you swore the oath." Persephone snapped. Zeus's face coloured, steadily turning purple.
"I thought I told you to kill him!"
"You think I would willingly kill my own son!" Hades asked incredulously, "Would you do the same? I did not break the oath. You and Poseidon did."
"They will turn against us!" Zeus yelled. The Olympians were watching the two sons of Kronos like a tennis match.
"I swear on the River Styx I shall serve the eldest son of Kronos until death." Thunder rumbled above the throne room. Hades' face paled. The Olympians leaned back in their seats of power and watched me warily.
"They must go to Camp Half-Blood." Zeus commanded.
"I must first train my son to bring honour to the House of Hades." Hades growled.
"I will train him my Lord." I volunteered. Hades looked irritated at my sign of respect but nodded.
"Go." Zeus waved his hand, "The children must be in camp by this weeks end." That gave me four days to train Nico. It wasn't long enough. I opened my mouth to argue but Hades shook his head slightly at me. I settled for scowling instead. Hades stepped into the shadows and disappeared, Persephone by his side. I placed my hand on Nico's shoulder and shadows travelled us away, but not before cheerfully giving Zeus the finger.
In the throne room Hades was muttering under his breath, Persephone watching him pace in front of his throne.
"Thanks for coming Hades." I thanked. Hades glanced at me and nodded. "Don't worry… father," Hades' head shot up, "I'll find Bianca and kill that manticore like I should have in the 1980's." Hades started cursing Artemis in fury.
"Until Bianca is safe the Hunters will not be able to go in the shadows! Seth, can I ask that you protect Nico in Camp?"
"What? They are stuck up brats!" I groaned.
"I can't lose Nico like Bianca. And think about it! You will be able to attack them in defence as much as you want."
"Fine. Little brother I will get you fitted out for armour then take you to meet my old trainers." I said, not really wanting Nico to be able to swear fluently in Greek. The armoury was through a door at the back of the throne room where invaders would find it difficult to reach. The dead children of Hephaestus bowed to me as I entered, heading straight to the mannequins that had suits of armour on. There were two suits that had been enchanted for kids of Hades. I gestured for Nico to try one. He reached for the one on right. It was Stygian Iron (obviously) and black with bronze and gold trimmings. The helmet was shaped in the likeness of a skull. Spikes were on the shoulder pads and gauntlets.
"Is this mine?" Nico asked with wide eyes.
"Of course! Only the best for the children of Hades." I chuckled. He grinned and ran his hand along the breastplate. "Try it on." Nico eagerly nodded and started carefully lifting the armour and putting it on. As I had requested it shrunk to fit him perfectly. I stood back and inspected him. He looked like he was born into the armour. I summoned my own armour, the gold catching the light. Over the years I only ever changed the shape of my helm into a drakon's head. It was the only connection to my old life. Nico was staring at my armour when he saw my helmet he flinched. I smirked before gripping his shoulder and shadow travelling us into Elysium. Perseus, Orion and Theseus were waiting in the clearing we used to train. I growled when I saw Orion fiddling with a bow.
"He just came Seth and wouldn't take no for an answer." Theseus frowned. I sighed and decided to ignore the hunter.
"Perseus, Theseus meet Nico Di Angelo, son of Hades."
