Percy and Nico were still in the ski lodge, just dossing around. They had opened the book, and it said to upgrade their weapons; all they needed was to understand their domains to their true potential.

They had minor domains but they were still powerful; but minor domains in the grand scheme of it all.

"How exactly do we understand the true potential of them?" Percy asked out loud.

Nico just shrugged in response. "Our parents are the best to ask, I guess."

Eventually, the two were sent back to their fathers kingdoms.

In Atlantis, Kymopoleia was waiting for Percy's return. She was going to unleash her civil war today, she had backing from quite a few of the godly children of Poseidon. All children that had felt neglected by their father.

Percy reappeared in his bedroom, and fell flat on his bed, he sighed and shut his eyes, but it wasn't for long as a boom could be heard in the distance. He scrambled up, grabbing his armor and riptide and ran towards where the boom could be heard.

As Percy got to the explosion site, a metal disk hit his helmet knocking him to the floor "FUCK!"

Kymopoleia appeared over him, a sword that she never used in her hand, "GET UP!" She roared; her voice shook the ground.

Percy grunted getting up, Riptide in one hand, and his shield in the other. "Why are you doing this Kym?"

Kymopoleia snarled, "You. You are a former demigod, turned god and you get Triton's crown, whereas others like me have been passed over and over! Time after time! Countless of his children are forgotten! Countless times I am forgotten!"

Percy looked at her, bewildered.. "H..Ho...How am I supposed to control what father does?!"

Kymopoleia growled, "You're not. But I am going to duel you for that throne and crown even if it means one of us has to reform!"

Percy dug his feet into the ground taking a defensive stance. Kymopoleia took the offensive stance. Riptide in his right hand, the shield on the left arm.

Kymopoleia rushed an attack, Percy managed to use his shield to deflect the blow. Percy did stagger back a little, and soon managed to get an advantageous stance, which he used kicking the ground, flinging himself towards her. Riptide managed to slice her arm slightly, golden ichor floated out of her.

She staggered back at the force of the attack, Percy took this time to attack again.

Percy's blows were quick and hard, he also used his shield to push her back even more. "It's over Kymopoleia, I have the high ground!"

Kymopoleia rolled over on the ground and got to her feet, sword and discus in hand, she threw the bronze discus to distract Percy. It didn't work, and attempt to attack him with her sword, she managed to catch his cheek by surprise.

The water was healing both their injuries, Percy managed to launch another quick but deadly attack as Kymopoleia hit the floor, Poseidon showed up "STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!"

Both heads snapped to their father, "Stop this stupid fight. I chose Percy because of the courage and bravery he has shown from the age of 12."

Kymopoleia ignored their father, and tried to make Percy reform but the sea god saw it coming and made her fade instead. Percy gulped at where his sister's body used to be. "Th..Thanks dad."

Meanwhile in the Underworld, Nico and Hades were talking over some coffee, when Hades casually slipped out "You and Percy are to be married."

Nico spat his coffee out, "YOU WHAT!" He yelled.

"My brother and I betrothed you." Hades said simply as if it was no big problem.

Nico glared at his father, his glare was like a dagger, it made Hades shrink back a little in his throne.

"We want to unite against our other brother, so we made the best choice we could. Unite the Seas and the Shadows together against the Sky. At the moment we don't know who our allies will be and we have no game plan at the moment." Hades explained.

Nico sighed, "Yet again, Percy is in the middle of things."

"It's not about him." Hades said. "It is about allyship."

"And why did marriage have to be the deal made, why not something like trading resources?"

"Marriage is much more stable, and gives proof that we would not go against our word; I do care about you, Nico."

"That's why you swear on the styx! Not give your only son away!" He yelled slightly.

Hades' eyes grew dark. "You are my youngest son, not my only one. The Styx lives in my realm, and my brother kindly pointed out how I could sway her to my side if I wanted out."

"Lady Styx would never do that–"

"Paranoia runs in the family, my child." Hades said. "You are to be married; we have been watching you two, and you seem to be getting along well enough. I see no reason why you two can't be married. Think of it more as another title, if you wish."

"But dad, I don't want another title!" he moaned a little, faking a cry.

"Then be married! I don't know!" Hades pinched the bridge of his nose. "What's done has been done."

"What if we divorced after?" He challenged, he wouldn't as he loved Percy too much to do that. "Does Percy know yet?" he asked.

"Gods' can't get divorced, unless the marriage becomes invalid." Hades said. "And I don't know."

"Surely being betrothed without our consent is grounds to make it invalid."

"Not at all. Persephone and I... Zeus had done that, and the same was for Aphrodite and Hephaestus."

Nico sighed, "Well it's a good thing, Perce and I are dating. But you could have let us move at our own pace, especially as we lost everyone we knew, only a few weeks ago. Camp is still destroyed and Chiron will need all the help he can get."

Hades sighed, "The wedding is still yet to be planned, but if we want to strike and take Olympus, it will have to be soon. The wedding should unite our 2 domains but there is something you- my son need to find. A crown. The lost prince crown of the underworld."

Nico's mouth just opened...

Back in Atlantis, Poseidon looked at Percy after getting him back inside the city walls. "You and Nico are to be married.."

"WHAT IN HADES' UNDERPANTS!" He yelled.

Poseidon scowled, "Don't use your uncle's name like that."

Percy walked off, in anger. He was not happy in the slightest.

When he was in his room, Poseidon appeared in the door war. "The reason this is happening is Hades and I wanna dethrone Zeus and whoever stands with him. However, The wedding is still yet to be planned, but if we want to strike and take Olympus, it will have to be soon. The wedding should unite our 2 domains but there is something you- my son need to find. A crown. The lost prince crown of Alantis."

Percy just looked dumbstruck.

"A lost crown? What is it with Gods losing things?"

Poseidon didn't answer, instead leaving.
