Hello everyone. Thanks for the reviews! We're starting to get to the good dramatic parts of the end now! Yay. :) It should be fun. Just so you know, I'm not sure if I'll be able to update Wednesday, I have a field trip to an amusement park for school, and we don't know exactly what time we're getting back home. Just a heads up. My poll is still up, in case you'd like to vote. Times running out... I own nothing but please do enjoy the chapter.

PS: The winners of the Energize WIP Awards were announced today. I got third place. XD I'm so happy that I'm yelling and shrieking and driving my family nuts. Thanks to everyone! I was expecting to receive maybe 7 out of eighth place, but instead I got third! With a wopping 51 votes! Thank you thank you thank you! You've made my day, possibly my week. I love all of you! Thank you so so so so much! XD

Percy's POV

All kf of a sudden, a huge lightning bolt flew from the sky. Before anyone could scream, it hit the ground (not a person) and we all disappeared in a flash. All of us were smart enough to close our eyes.

When we we opened them again, we found ourselves in the presence of the entire Olympian counsel.

Directly in front of me was Zeus. To his right was a man that looked like me. Green eyes, though his were brighter than mine, black hair, Bermuda shorts, and a Hawaiian shirt.

He he was never there for me growing up. Now that he wants to be there for me, I'm not going to be there for him.

In in the coldest goice I could muster, I sneered, "Hello Father, Poseidon."

All the Olympians looked taken aback by it. Poseidon gaped at me, and everyone else stared.

I kept the smirk on my face, gazing at the immortals with dark eyes. While everyone was frozen, I turned and bowed to a few Olympians.

First, to Hestia. I walked over and bowed low to her, causing her to blush and smile at me. Next, to Apollo. I walked over and bowed to him, thinking that if he didn't give this prophecy that I might've still been living s life as someone I most certainly am not. Finally, I bowed to Hades. He looked at me in surprise, but a pleased surprise. Not a horrified surprise, confused mostly and slightly pleased.

Then i walked back to my original position. Nobody moved.

Finally, I got tired of this nonsense. Sighing, I snapped my fingers above my head, directing the attention of all the Olympians. "I'm sorry, but I thought we were having a conversation here."

Poseidon looked at me sadly, but didn't speak. Zeus was the one to actually address me.

"You dare address a God as such puny mortal?!" He boomed.

I shrugged. "Yeah, well I think that's what I just did. So yep."

People gasped. Zeus grew slightly red. "You will addres me as King!"

"No thanks. Wonder boy. Isn't that what your dear girlfriend called you?"

Hera turned to Zeus. "Girlfriend?!"

As Zeus and Hera argued, Apollo spoke to me. "So Perce, what's up with this new attitude? Wrath hanging out in your control center?"

I shook my head. "I was thinking ("Oh no!" cried Apollo) and I decided that in my entire life, I've been kind of split between ideas. Wavering about who I should really be. So I decided that I'm going to be more serious, giving everything my all, using my brain more. When I was doing that, I realized that I was split between ideas about my family too."

"Oh really? What kind of ideas?"

"One idea was that I loved every single on of my family members, not matter if they were absent or not." I glanced over at Poseidon, who was watching me like a hawk. "The other idea was that the people that were absent for over a few years didn't really care about me. I picked the second idea. To me, my mother is my only family member. She's the onky kne that never abandoned me."

Apollo nodded. "You know, that could be a lonely life though. Serious, smart, unforgiving. You don't want to end up like Athena do you?"

"Hey!" Athena exclaimed, causing Apollo and most others to laugh. I kept a stony expression.

"See!" Apollo accused, pointing a finger at me. "No fun!" Almost everyone else agreed. I was one of the few who did not agree.

Once people saw that I wasn't laughing, they slowly stopped as well. We were silent for a few minutes, before someone spoke up.

"Where is my daughter?"

I looked to the goddess of wisdom, and internally flinched at what I knew would come flying from my mouth. "You're just noticing this now? We've been here for a while now. You'd think you'd have seen her before or at least taken notice of her absence."

Athena straightened up. "Who are you to say such things to a goddess? Answer my question. Tell me where my daughter is!"

I gave age her a look. Then a pointed to Hades. "Why don't you ask your dear uncle Hades. He must surely know."

Athena turned her glare on Hades now. "What. Did. You. Do. To. Her?"

Hades paled, if that was possible. "I didn't do anything! She just appeared at my doorstep! She was clearly dead, so I didn't ponder it. Now she lives in peace with..."

"With?" Hermes prompted.

Hades sighed. "With my son Nico."

Everyone gasped and turned to Hades for an explanation. "Nico said... He said that-that he killed them." Hades was looking dead at me.

Following his his line of view, everyone soon laid eyes on me. "Why'd you do it son? That was your cousin, your girlfriend."

I shrugged. "It wasn't me. It was a different guy. It was the Monster."
