"Should I come in?" Asked the ancient son of the sea born and died in ancient Greece to the goddess of fire and hearth, as well as the ancient queen of the titans upon hearing the large number of screams coming from inside the Olympic Council room, although it was easy to distinguish that the cries came from the gods whether they were major or minor. You can't say the same about the words they were saying, because due to the amount of screaming you couldn't tell what each god was shouting
Although the voice that could most clearly distinguish the son of the sea along with all the young half-breeds who had recently learned what they really were, was the voice of Zeus where they could distinguish words...
"Ridiculous …"
"Absurd …"
"Foolishness …"
"You dare …"
"Maybe... it's not the best idea," said the former queen of the Titans to her grandson. "Zeus thinks it's all a joke on the part of his sons, rather Apollo and Hermes, although he's also beginning to believe it's a mockery of Hades or Poseidon." What the ancient queen didn't say was that she found her youngest son's belief absurd
How did Rhea know? That was because only she, as well as Hestia, knew what they were saying because their other halves were inside the thrones room that had witnessed how the Council room ended in complete chaos.
"Maybe it's better that I don't see you or any of your siblings," said the titaness as she intended to go after her other descendants to get them out of sight of Zeus and his paranoia that has become ridiculous these days
The eldest daughter of Kronos and Rhea, on the other hand, was about to explain to the son of the king of Atlantis what those present in the thrones room had been seeing while her mother was heading to the door to go get the other descendants of the sea.
However, neither of them was able to do so because three beings formed out of nowhere between them and the door of the Olympic council.
Beings that the two peaceful deities along with the demigod of the sea did not take a second to recognize who they were, unlike the rest of the young mestizos who were with them, so immediately the three individuals who were born thousands of years ago they bowed in respect before the Fates
"My ladies" Hestia, Rhea, and Bellerophon greeted
"Queen Rhea, Hestia, Bellerophon" The thread bearers of fate greeted back
The silence continued on the part of the individuals who were outside, since the young mestizos, upon seeing the attitude adopted by those mentioned, remained silent, mainly out of fear rather than confusion.
Not to mention, even some of the screams coming from inside the Olympic Council Hall stopped unlike others that were still heard, but more clearly
"Mjuyhnb it's not possible jk&h for you to bgry%..."
"Bghkhj the boy &% threat..."
"…"
"…"
"…"
"May I know the reason for your visit, my ladies?" the former queen of the Titans asked, worried about the gods within the Council chamber, who seemed still unaware of the Moirae's presence if the screams still heard meant anything.
"We're waiting, Queen Rhea," the three sisters replied
For the second time Rhea ignored the old title that she preferred to forget (as it reminded her of her former husband), due to the presence of the Moirae
"Waiting?" The former son of the sea couldn't help but say when he was confused about what the three sisters of destiny could be waiting for, until he became worried when he realized he spoke out loud.
"To our mother" replied the Moirae
However, that answer only worried the titaness, her daughter and her grandson even more.
After all, the mother of the Moirae was Ananke, the primordial of destiny and necessity, not to mention that thousands of years have passed since it was known that the primordials or any of them visited Olympus.
The first rider of Pegasus was reminiscing to try to remember the last time he heard of a primordial visiting Olympus, with the answer being that it was centuries before the time in which he was born, since even in the fields of Elysium, its inhabitants found out about great events that occurred within the pantheon... or when you have Theseus as a half-brother
"Lady Ananke, are you awake?" asked the goddess of fire in a voice that was surprised and somewhat afraid of what might happen as soon as others heard about it
"For some time now, young lady," said another female voice out of nowhere, surprising almost everyone before a woman of unreal beauty formed in front of everyone, although it was also surprising what she called the eldest daughter of Kronos and Rhea, but considering that she was a primordial, a being much older than the elder titans...

"POSEIDON!"
The king of Olympus was screaming at his sea-green eyed brother because Zeus was very upset by what they had seen, finding beyond the absurd the existence of parallel worlds with mortals capable of having power on par with the gods or even beyond, believing that everything was a joke by Apollo or Hermes, which is why he looked at the two at times.
Although also thinking that it was some kind of mockery devised by some brethren or a threat that one or both of them would ally themselves with other divine pantheons against him, ignoring the fact that it wasn't the way they acted
On the other hand, the older sons of Gaia and Uranus, despite being more attentive to the daughters of fate who were outside the throne room, could not believe the way Rhea's youngest son kept acting, in the face of how arrogant, foolish, paranoid, and more Zeus was acting.
"Where is the Zeus of titanomachy?"
"Where is the Zeus of the first reign of the gods?"
"Or the first centuries of his rule?"
Those and more questions the titans of the sea had, unable to comprehend how the God of lightning could end up like this.
However, the couple of titans were among the few who immediately noticed the presence of the Moirai, the others being the Atlanteans, the gods of the underworld and one or another of the minor gods, although the latter were not able to sense the presence of the primordial goddess
So these individuals shut up and stopped arguing as they were waiting for the deities of fate to enter, although in the case of Poseidon and Hades they had tried to make their younger brother behave and keep silent only to backfire so they decided to ignore him while they waited.
Zeus was again about to yell at his brothers, angry that they ignored him, although his fury was mainly focused on the king of Atlantis due to the glimpses of Percy Jackson's counterparts, which was one of the reasons why the god of lightning 'argued' with the god of the seas
But the sound of the large doors of the council opening abruptly, stopped everyoneand they turned to look where only a few were looking, which was the entrance. As they did so, the vast majority of those present paled at the sight of the three Fates, as very few immediately recognized the woman they were following, and those who recognized the primordial one were the ones who paled even more.
Although in the case of the gods who did so, some of them held their symbols of power tightly, as was the case of Poseidon who tightly tightened his trident and worried about the presence of the primordial, as did many others. However, they didn't pay much attention to the half-breeds who followed the primordial and her daughters, along with duplicates of the goddess of fire and the titaness of motherhood
"Lady Ananke, my ladies"
Poseidon, Hades, the deities of the underworld, the seas and the other major deities greeted the primordial one, followed by greeting her daughters.
"…"
"…"
"…"
The silence, the worry, as well as the fear lasted for the next few seconds in which no one said anything, seconds that for many felt like an eternity as the primordial goddess looked at everyone present.
Making the vast majority of those present feel like small and insignificant beings in her presence and gaze. And as she looked at some for a few fractions of a second longer than at others, these felt even smaller in her presence.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"What do you think of this... little warning and glimpse of other worlds?" asked the primordial goddess
"…"
"…"
"…"
"What?"
A young voice of a teen boy could be heard that made the boy's parents pale before Oceanus again reinforced the veil he placed over the boy, which he had inadvertently dropped into the presence of the primordial to hide him from Zeus and others, the same happened with the children of Hades.
Oceanus managed to do so just before certain eyes focused on the boy, although some others managed to see him
"I see that young Perseus still has to adjust to this side of his life," The primordial said, being completely honest since she had refused to use her own powers and domains to see how the effect of her interference would be by showing them glimpses of other worlds.
Knowing the future or its possibilities became annoying and boring after a few millennia.
However, her words only triggered concern for many, as well as anger for others, along with other thoughts in various individuals, but the primordial goddess had not finished speaking.
"But that, like my interference, wouldn't be necessary if you hadn't led the pantheon to its decline."
The primordial's comment, spoken with a barely perceptible annoyance in her voice, again caused various emotions in all present, whether it was concern or fear at the mention of decadence, as well as anger, fury and anger in the most arrogant, stubborn, foolish and proud.
"How you-?!"
Zeus, because of his pride and arrogance, was about to claim the primordial goddess, but immediately his brothers stopped him
"IT'S NOT THE TIME, ZEUS!" the two Kings growled at their younger brother at the same time, fed up with the attitude of the King of Olympus due to the situation of having a being older and more powerful than the Titans in front of them.
The youngest son of the ancient Titan kings growled and glared at his older brothers, but ended up reluctantly accepting that they were right, since from his perspective the primordial was a potential threat to Olympus... to his reign.
So, like many others, they stared tensely at the lady of fate
"Your end will not be because of an enemy who wants to destroy you or someone who wants your thrones," Anake spoke again. "Your pride... arrogance... vanity... foolishness... greed... your ease of being offended... and your irresponsibility will be... It doesn't matter if They are giant titan gods or half-bloods"
No one dared to speak as the primordial herself focused on various individuals as she spoke, whether they were titans, gods, or half-breeds.
Some of the recipients of her gaze were the son of Hermes, Luke Castellan, the son of Hecate, Alabaster C. Torrington, a Roman legacy of Apollo, the gods of war such as Ares, Athena, the goddess of love Aphrodite, the twin archers, Apollo and Artemis, the kings of Olympus Zeus and Hera... as well as several others
And at those words, various emotions continued to grow within all of them...
Some were of concern as were the half-breeds or at least most of them, along with some deities such as Hestia and her mother
Others were in denial, such as Artemis, Athena or Dionysus.
While still others felt offended, indignant and furious at what for them were pure lies and slanders such as the case of Zeus and Hera. And some of the latter trembled with barely contained fury towards the primordial goddess... Who was stronger than them.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Is that why you sent this warning, Lady Ananke?" Oceanus asked Chronos' wife (1)
"So that we avoid this fate?" Tethys added her own question, being the only ones who dared to speak to the primordial, while everyone else remained tense in their places, with most of them not taking their eyes off Ananke
"Not exactly," the mother of the Moiras, answered her nephews' question, "Whether to avoid it or not is up to all of you..." but considering how much they underestimate or offend the other pantheons... to mortals... to sciences, their technology... what's in the rest of the world... whether in this realm or in others... as well as what is outside the world and its enemies... Well... oblivion is your most probable destiny"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"My reign will last forever," Zeus growled, taking Ananke's words as a threat, as she just snorted and some had to hold back grunts, snorts, rolling their eyes, or other reactions to the Lightning God's actions
"You just prove my point, son of Kronos."
The words spoken only infuriated the king of Olympus
"Zeus" his older brothers gruntled again, but they were not the only ones, several other deities also did so, but it only infuriated the god, as they could all smell some ozone, as well as see that their eyes shone with light rays and in his divine weapon
"I didn't come to threaten or seek your throne" Ananke said, although everyone could hear a slight mockery in her voice, as if that were something insignificant and meaningless to her, but the lady of destiny continued speaking before anyone else could. "You have no idea how much you ignore or underestimate the rest of creation, the damage you do to yourselves or to the 'reign' of this pantheon by remaining as you are, by continuing to act as you do, by keeping your children poorly informed and poorly trained... even though it is easier in this era for them to be born more connected to your domains"
Again, the words given by the primordial goddess addressed to most of the gods generated various thoughts and doubts in those present, whether they were the Greek or Roman campers, the huntresses, the gods or others, with some thinking a little more about those words or what she was referring to
"Of course, there are some individuals who delay this, or rather buy time for beings like you, as young Jackson or at least several of his counterparts have done with their respective worlds"
"Time?" Various voices could be heard pronouncing that word even if they did so quietly due to how many did it.
"The son of Poseidon" Zeus growled, interrupting her for a moment as well as receiving glances from the king of Atlantis and others
"Yes" Anake said as if she had been asked "Individuals like Kronos or similar to him, whether divine or not, if they were to take control... they would only cause or hasten everyone's downfall..."
For those who planned to support the former fallen king, hearing from a primordial that Kronos would ultimately only bring down them, not just the Olympian gods, was shocking, among other emotions.
At least for the mestizos and some gods who never met the titan or do not remember their reputation well, but for the gods who remembered better or have heard what the titan king was like, it only made them remember that the reign of the titan was worse than that of Zeus and the Olympians.
"As I said, there are individuals like most of the counterparts of the son of Poseidon, individuals who may be mortal, human, demigod or something else like the demigods, magicians or heroes you have seen… Individuals who do not fight not for the gods, Olympus, Atlantis or the underworld, but for the people they care about, for the world, for an ideal, for principles that they have, for what they believe is right or other reasons... like having more intelligence or common sense about who their enemies are, who would be a better or worse enemy, ally, leader or ruler... who understands who is a real evil, danger, threat... unlike many others who let themselves go because of their paranoia, resentment, anger or fury…"
As she said the latter, the primordial looked at certain half-breeds in the Greek camp who writhed before her gaze, while the gods were outraged, offended, or annoyed to hear her words about the variations of Sally Jackson's son and other individuals... Without wanting to believe it
While the aforementioned himself and his mother tried to understand everything he said about his other selves, because it was quite confusing to understand, especially for him who was still trying to digest that he was the son of a God, while his mother only grew more and more worried as the various thoughts she had had about keeping her son with her, preventing him from preparing better, once again became more intense.
"But considering how most worlds have ended where your counterparts act like they do here or worse... well, in the end the odds are not in your favor"
Guests that no one expected on Olympus have appeared and no one can deny that they were seeing alternate worlds, while the primordial goddess responsible for everyone having brief glimpses of other worlds, warns them of what awaits them if they follow the path that the Greco-Romans have followed for centuries, millennia. In addition to that Anake, the primordial goddess of destiny has given them a slight opinion on the government of the gods, what the Greco-Romans have become or what they have been for a long time, an opinion that no one liked, as well as his warnings.
(1) There are several versions about the primordial Ananke, as it is with various Greek myths, Some versions interpret that Ananke arose by herself, before Chaos, others that she was born from the union between the Waters (Pontus or Hydros) and the Earth (Gaia), in others that arose from Chaos or at the same time
His consort was Chronos, which depending on the version of the myth varies which beings they fathered
Ananke, representing the inescapable force of fate, is philosophically imagined as the mother of the Moiras.
For this fic she and Chronus were born to Chaos and are the parents of the Moirae
