The prisoner

Twelve: Revelations

"Everybody just sit down and let Poseidon explain." Said Hestia fiercely the hearth flaring brightly. Harry dropped his ghost rider form and sheathed his weapons and knelt towards her. "Yes my lady." Hestia grinned slightly at the unfortunate immortal, she already liked his fire it burned brightly for justice and balance. Unfortunately it was a cold fire from the underworld but the boy could wield it like a flame from the hearth because he knew when to yield.

"I fell in love with a mortal who happened to be the granddaughter of Hectate. She was unable to conceive with her husband James Potter legacy of Igontous Peverell a son of Hades. They both prayed for a child and I aided them. I gave Lily a child and..." then another voice took up the story. "Unbeknownst to him, I had temporarily taken over James's body and with Lily being a carrier of Poseidon's power and a legacy of Hectate combined with James being my five times great grandson and also a legacy of Hectate, you had an extremely powerful demigod. Furthermore Thanatos had two sons Samael and Azrael and those two created the ghost riders whose sole duty was to aide me and capture the stray monsters/spirits that managed to cheat death. All three of them combined into Harry who is our son and grandson."

The council nodded slowly and weapons were sheathed. Though Ares took even longer to sheathe his bastard sword as he was eyeing Harry with relish, which Harry picked up on. "You gay Ares? You're eyeing me like a piece of meat. I don't swing that way." Ares snarled and unsheathed his sword and charged the immortal teenager. "I'M GONNA GUT YOU LIKE A FISH!" He bellowed.

Harry smirked, stepped out of the way as Ares charged past. "One of the rules of warfare never underestimate your enemy. Strength must always bow to wisdom and Ares you have no wisdom." Harry quoted earning a faint smile from Athena "Sun Tzu?" Harry laughed "All ways milady? One of your children?" Athena hung her head "Unfortunately a son of Demeter." Harry's eyes widened "Never expected such a talented warrior to be a son of one of the least warlike goddesses." Demeter cocked her eyebrow at him "Are you saying I'm weak?"

Harry shook his head furiously "No, just saying that I didn't expect it milady." On his throne Zeus contemplated the various ways out of this sticky situation. "I have decided that the boy shall live. However he must stay on Olympus, where he can be observed." At that Harry snarled in rage and tried not to lose his human form. "I won't accept those terms. I have a prophecy on my shoulders which makes me immortal. Don't try and control my life Zeus or I'll show you why I don't like to be controlled."

With that Harry bowed and left saying "Don't manipulate me. I'll deal with my prophecy and the one you fear if I must." Hades smirked at his baby brothers face. "Get used to it. He won't keel toe anyone unless they prove themselves." The moment Harry descended the stairs, Harry made his way to the corner of the street. It was close to ten in the evening. He flung his arm out and whistled sharply.

Out of the gloom as if summoned like ghost Hedwig descended onto her masters arm and affectionately nibbled his ear before taking a note saying how much he missed Katie. Then as suddenly Hedwig arrived she departed through the shadows with a lighter heart Harry set out into the night on his quest to find out a way to destroy the Horcruxes, save the woman he loved and the world. Being a Hero was never easy.
