Percy Jackson The God of The Monsters

Chap 6

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson

- Olympian Throne Room -

All fourteen Olympians were sat upon their thrones, Nico was sat on a smaller throne in front and to the right of his fathers, Annabeth was sat in front and slightly to the right of her mothers throne like Nico was his father and Thalia was sat directly in front of Zeus facing the entrance to the throne room. Most of the gods, major and minor were worried, they all knew of Percy Jackson, the saviour of Olympus, they all also knew how the fates themselves had made him into a god.

The news that the hunters of Artemis had slain Percy's sacred animal spread like wild-fire, almost immediately the news that Percy was considering going to war was spreading as well, many of the minor gods just hoped that they weren't going to be caught in the battle, none of them missed the fact that Artemis was incredibly weak at the moment and Poseidon had cursed all of the hunters except Thalia.

Zeus looked around at the Olympians, he cleared his throat before speaking, "*Ahem*... Now, does anybody know what Perseus has done to make Artemis so weak?" he saw the rest of the Olympians shaking their heads negatively, all except Poseidon, "Brother? do you know?" the rest of the Olympians turned to face Poseidon, "Of course I know, I simply find it amusing how bad it is affecting Artemis" Apollo looked as if he wanted to strike Poseidon but he knew that he would lose, there was no point in humiliating himself, "I swear Poseidon if you don't tell me I will make sure your son fades..." Apollo had once again spoken without thinking his sentence through, the Olympians saw Poseidon's grin slowly fall away,

The look Poseidon gave Apollo made Artemis fear for his life, she decided to try and take Poseidon's focus from Apollo "uncle, we have never fought, and I have never intentionally gone against you, is whatever Perseus has done to me fatal?" Poseidon's gaze slide from glaring at Apollo to Artemis, his glare morphing into a contemplative look, "I shall tell you what is making you weak..." the Olympians sighed in relief "... but know that there is nothing to reverse the effects unless Percy chooses to, for Percy hasn't actually done anything to you."

The Olympians looked at Athena questioningly, she didn't know what Poseidon meant, so she shrugged her shoulders and directed her gaze back onto Artemis, "Firstly, Briaries the hekatonkheire has gone to assist Percy..." Zeus started cursing at Poseidon "so you gave your son the only creature capable of making a weapon as powerful as our own when he is against us in a war?" Zeus demanded, Poseidon chuckled, "Brother, from what I have been told if Percy had decided to go to war already Olympus would already be destroyed."

The fact that none of the Olympians could detect a lie in Poseidon's voice shocked them, Apollo was the first to speak up "you genuinely believe that?" Poseidon chuckled again "except demigods, I would say at least eighty percent of our armies are some form of monster, Hades has furies and hell hounds, me and Hephaestus have Cyclops, if Percy wishes all he has to do is give one order and they switch to his side" Most of the gods faces paled as they realized how much danger they were in.

"And this doesn't worry you why Poseidon?" Athena's question broke everyone from their train of thought, "Simple, its the reason Percy has become more powerful over the last few days and why Artemis is weakening." The other Olympians were getting annoyed that Poseidon wouldn't tell them anything, he just kept going round in circles, "Percy hasn't actually declared war yet." the other gods were confused, "He said before he left a week ago 'This is war' " Apollo pointed out, "you are wrong Apollo, Percy said and I quote, 'This is an act of war', from what I have been told, Percy has gathered an army of monsters, but they have all been put in defensive places to protect those he cares about, the reason Artemis is growing weak is because she and Percy share the domain of hunting, even if only slightly, Percy is charging his powers up, so because he is drawing power from all his domains he is drawing it from Artemis"
