Percy's POV
I'm only sure of two things, the first is that my head has a lot of problems, I mean, first a ghost lady and now a kind of dream with a more complicated story than Mr. Ijichi's personal life, not to mention that I'm lousy at writing an essay, so I wonder, how is it possible that my head has so much imagination for this?
Everything was still absolutely silent, the 'gods', 'half-breed' and the thing in the bubble were kept in absolute silence, until it was interrupted by a "bee bee" from the goat boy, immediately all the gods looked at him furtively and annoyedly, from my point of view that seemed like a death threat, you know, the classic 'shut up or I'll kill you'
"It's impossible," Poseidon took on human form, or rather, normal height. "Artemis, that's impossible, my son died years ago."
Thunder and lightning resounded on the roof of the great palace, the longer it passed the more lightning appeared. Seconds later Zeus rose from his throne, taking on human form as did his brother and the goddess Artemis.
"But what the hell are you talking about, brother, did I hear that right?, Do you have a child?" Zeus said as his face projected a face full of hatred
"That's right," said Poseidon
"How dare you break the oath on the Styx," Zeus raised his arm slightly and made a slight movement with his fingers.
What I saw I couldn't believe, a lightning bolt came down from the top of the palace and reached his hand, the strange thing was that the 'god' didn't end up electrocuted, he held the lightning firmly with his hand, It had become a kind of weapon—you broke the oath and lied to me, it's unforgivable.
Violently, Zeus threw the lightning from his hand in the direction of Poseidon and a great explosion occurred.
The lightning hit the target or at least it seemed that way to me, I could not see, the whole room was filled with smoke, an electric aura was felt throughout the place, everyone present was with some degree of electric current, even the gods sitting on their thrones, but the goat boy was unconscious on the ground, while the girl named Thalia seemed to have been unaffected, I think it has to do with the fact that Zeus said he was her father so I wonder if she can also throw such currents through her hands or at least some part of her body.
But incredibly, Annabeth was in the same shape as Thalia or at least almost in the same way, her honey curly hair was good, let's just say it wasn't so curly anymore, her look, which had completely combined with the appearance of a princess from a distant kingdom, changed to the same hairstyle that Jeong Jeong has when she wakes up in the morning. Apart from all that, she was in perfect condition, when the smoke cleared I could notice that this Athena was standing in front of Annabeth, in the same way as the other gods, she had taken human form.
"Mother!" Annabeth said, surprised to see her standing in front of her, a few feet away
"Are you all right, daughter?" Athena asked
"Yes! Annabeth hurriedly got up, brushing off her clothes quickly, but her face was more colored than the Fire Nation flag
The smoke almost disappeared, showing that the thrones were not harmed by the incredible electric shock, but it had shaken those huge beings sitting on them. One of them had his face full of grape juice, another of them threw hundreds of screws on the ground and the last one found her face full of a white powder while her eyes showed a poorly done eyeliner. And here between us, the woman was the most beautiful person I had ever seen in my entire life.
In the center of the room a buzzing sound began to be perceived, coming from the hand of Zeus who held another lightning bolt and remained in battle position concentrated in the position in which Poseidon was, as if he were ready for a counterattack.
"Zeus... you know I'm a very patient man, but what you've just done I can't overlook." The smoke disappeared entirely, revealing Poseidon holding a trident, which had somehow caught the lightning with its tip and it remained there
"You know perfectly well the risk Olympus is in right now, Kronos is our enemy and is summoning his Titans and yet, you don't mention the fact that there is a hero with your lineage!" Zeus said with fury
"You were the first to break the oath, don't come at me with that hypocrisy brother," said Poseidon as he pointed his trident at Zeus, even with a stranger dream I can understand that he will return his lightning, but not in the way that Zeus likes
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Artemis and Athena said in unison
"Enough of the stupidity, Olympus is at risk and you fight, but what a childish attitude you are showing, you are not ashamed to behave like this in front of the heroes who saved Olympus. My lord Zeus, your daughter is present and I don't think I need to mention that she is the product of the breaking of her oath. And Mr. Poseidon, to face like that and challenge our lord Zeus like that, what was he thinking about?" said the redhead
An awkward silence set in, everyone thought the same thing, that Artemis was behaving like a mother.
"He shot first," Poseidon said
"Artemis, what the hell is wrong with you, a battle is never interrupted," said the God who resembled Ozai
"Shut up, Ares, this is none of your business," Athena said
Immediately Ares was silent, he had the look of a tough guy and I can say quite skilled in battle so I was surprised that he didn't want to get into trouble with Athena, who didn't look much different from his daughter.
"My lord Zeus and Poseidon, I beg you to put aside your differences, at this time we have to stand together, be an example to these heroes whose hopes and admirations lie in us "Athena paused for a moment as if to give more importance to what she said "and I fear that, if you don't, We will be doing exactly what Cronus wants, weakening us so he can defeat us" Artemis bowed to Zeus, imploring him to appease her anger against her brother.
I have no idea what kind of crime it means to have a child in this family, however, the subject was treated with great care as it seemed that the fate of everyone present was subject to it.
Zeus stood still, he seemed to analyze the situation and the options were to attack his brother with all his strength or listen to the goddess with a mother complex that in a certain way what she said made a lot of sense, basically, there is strength in numbers. Zeus raised his arm again, only this time the lightning ascended into the sky and disappeared.
"Brother, I warn you, if it turns out that your son is a threat, I will kill him immediately. I prefer that the fate of Olympus be in the hands of my daughter" Zeus said as he looked at his brother suspiciously
"So be it for the time being," replied Poseidon
"Apollo, get the satyr back up, I need everyone to hear the following," Zeus said as he regained his normal height and ascended his throne
The supposed god descended from his seat to face the satyr and recited... a kind of poem to him?:
"My dear Grover, my dear satyr
It's time to get up and wake up
The great Zeus did severe damage
So I'll get up or mad up."
The goat boy, or rather Grover, jumped up, the terrible poem had taken effect and I was not the only one who thought so, everyone present looked at Apollo with a slight disgust.
"Cans, hamburgers," Grover said as he sat down and stood where he was "But what happened?"
"Nothing! Dude, you just fainted I think you should take better care of your diet you know, a healthy diet along with a great exercise will help you a lot and here among us, stop eating aluminum cans," said Apollo
Grover didn't seem to understand what the god was saying to him, when he looked at his friends they just nodded their heads, implying that he has to listen to Apollo, I think it's better to say that than to mention how close his soul was to leaving his body to how close he was to dying from Zeus' lightning
"Heroes, you will be rewarded, you have just done a great service to Mount Olympus, but I'm afraid you'll have to wait, this isn't over yet so I have another mission for you, given the terrible circumstances we're in. It's best that no one finds out, because we don't know who can be on Kronos' side right now" Zeus said
"It's true, Kronos has several half-bloods fighting for him and an army of monsters, if he finds out that there is another son of one of the big three, I'm afraid the situation will only get worse," Athena said
"That's why the three of you are going to look for my son," Poseidon said as he looked a little worried
"But exactly how we're going to do it, even Artemis couldn't find it," Annabeth exclaimed
"There are few places where a half-breed who has my full attention can disappear without a trace, I suggest you start in Daedalus' labyrinth, young heroes and you will have the full support of my hunters, in the meantime I myself will go out to look for him as well as my brother."
"Excuse me?" Apollo said that he was distracted, since he was composing a new poem "I understand that the son of Poseidon is important, but is my presence necessary?"
"Brother, if Kronos finds him first and includes him in his strike forces, I'm afraid the age of the Titans will return and the reign of the Gods will end," Artemis said in an annoyed voice
"Right, the fate of the world and stuff, count me in, little sister."
"Don't call me little sister," Artemis said more annoyed
"Then it is decided. We trust you heroes, do not disappoint us," said Zeus. "My child, if you think he may be dangerous to Olympus when you find him, kill him at once
From one moment to the next, the light began to diminish and a few seconds later I was in a completely dark room, I couldn't make out anything around me, not the supposed gods or half-breeds, not even the goat boy.
"Hello, is anyone there?"
"Percy Jackson!" said a a strange voice, quite deep with a very serious tone" Your destiny is about to change, the future of both worlds depends on you and you will not be able to save them all, every decision you make will have a price. Get ready and choose your own hell, I wonder what fate will you take?"

I had the sensation of having hit something hard, I opened my eyes and I was right, my face was on the floor of the bedroom that Mr. Chen lent us to rest that night, I gently got up, I realized that Haru was not in his bed and at the same time I realized that a light and warm ray of sunlight was coming through the window.
"Spirits! How long was I asleep? Percy said, and at the same time he put his hand on his forehead, inspecting the place of impact with the ground
"You slept like a log all night, don't worry, you better be rested and prepared to face the monster" Haru said at the door of the room "Come, Mr. Chen made us breakfast so wipe your face
"Oh.... yes, I'll be right away."
I was too confused because of the kind of dream I had had, it all felt so real, the wrath of the gods, the little confrontation and even their feelings, the hatred, envy, distrust. Haru says I slept through the night, but I don't feel like I've actually been asleep, to be honest I'm even more tired than I was when we got here.
I left the bedroom and went downstairs, I could smell homemade food, vegetable soup with scrambled eggs if I'm not mistaken and as if that wasn't enough of my favorites, it was the first thing I could prepare by myself. Because I was never a big fan of the food they serve in the palace, the food they give to all the members of the royal family and even the greedy politicians has a very simple taste, because the chefs make sure that no ingredients have been poisoned and do you know who makes sure of it?
Obviously me. They make me taste every single thing they prepare before sending it to its destinations.
I took a seat at the table and realized that everyone was waiting for me
"Did you sleep well, Percy?" Mr. Chen asked.
"Sure, your bedroom is quite comfortable," I replied
I wasn't going to tell the truth, that I didn't sleep well because I was dreaming of gods, half-breeds and only the spirits know what are the titans.
"I'm glad to hear that, I was worried that it wouldn't be to your liking," Mr. Chen showed a slight smile, "those beds, my son bought them when he received his casino pay, you know he's a very good boy, he's quite hardworking, he takes care of his sister when I can't and thanks to him we haven't had any difficulties, I don't know how I'm going to do things without him," Chen looked at the ground and his smile disappeared, "so please, please... Bring my son back," I could see the tears fall from his face
Then I looked at Haru for a few moments
"Mr. Chen, we will do what we can, but we can't give you false hope," Haru said
"I'm aware of that!" Mr. Chen looked up and took a few steps before bowing to Haru and me, "I beg you, bring my son back home!"
Little Lian did the same as her father
"I understand... I swear to do everything in my power to bring your son back, I swear in the name of Fire Lord Iroh"
