BREAK 3
Carter's pov
As Zia and I moved towards the table where Lord Zeus, Lady Athena, Lady Hera, Isis, Horus, Ra and Dad were sitting. We took our seats. Bast joined us. An awkward silence descends on the table.
Zia jabs my ribs with her elbow. I clear my throat gaining everyone's undivided attention. I start " Lord Zeus, we would like to put a preposition, or more like ask you to secure your palace more strongly. "
" Are you saying, you feel unsafe in Mount Olympus bec-", I cut him off, making him glare at me, saying "No no that was not what I mean. You all saw that guy whom Sadie tried to tie." All the Greek gods nod their heads suspiciously. "
"He is Setne. He is a kind of runaway evil psycho ghost. He is kind of a problem. And we don't want him to give you too." Zia finished.
Athena seemed to be thinking and contemplating our idea while non-Athena Greek gods were looking at us with contempt. "I doubt he would dare to go against us. After all, we survived above the earth for so many years." Zeus states proudly making Dad, Ra and Bast groan at his high-handedness for something so serious while Isis and Horus narrow their eyes at his 'above the ground' comment. Figures.
Dad replies before Isis or Horus could make a scathing comment, " I believe you all to be strong but still you don't want an evil ghost to ruin our newfound alliance which would go against the wishes of your fates. wouldn't it." Zeus narrows his eyes and says " And how would I know you are saying the truth? That ghost or whatever he is is not your ploy to weaken our forces- "Whhhaaat? Are you kidding me? We are telling you to go strengthen your protection. Use common sense. If we would have wanted to attack you, shouldn't we have asked for weakening it instead?" Bast rants off.
" I should tell you - " Zeus starts only to get cut off the third time by his daughter " Father, I think they are right. If this spirit is a danger then we should make sure he does not get inside again." " Fine, I will go and make sure of the borders."
Zeus says forcefully and vanishes. It becomes awkward again. We slip out silently and move towards the table where Sadie and Walt were sitting.
Only to find out they left with two half-bloods. Soon Zeus returns. I silently ask Zia to search for Sadie because I have a feeling break would end pretty soon. Yep I was right within a few minutes Zeus announces the end of break and we all start moving towards the hall.
I slip next to Zia and ask Sadie about her talk with 21st Nome. She tells me everyone thought us to be kidnapped and were preparing for war without even knowing where it could happen. Huh, That was new. I tell her about my discussion with Zeus. Before she could comment on it, we are told to sit down and the reading begins.
A/N OK, I will try my best to update at least weekly. Also, I wish for you all to comment on whether you all want to see further Setne or not as a cameo or as a real villain. I am waiting for your comments.
