Triton POV

I managed to get some rest for once but it was sadly short lived. Of course I cant be allowed to rest in peace I have to be out doing something all the damm time. This all comes back to the king being a lazy bastard who doesn't do anything. I was dragged out of bed because of a message from Olympus via Hermes which was apparently very important. Arriving in the throne room, I saw Hermes waiting for me looking extremely worried.

 "What the hell do you want" I shout throwing formalities out of the window

 "Something bad is happening, very bad" he responds his face darkening even more

"What is This 'bad' thing?"

 "Zeus is mightily pissed off again"

 "Jesus Christ, what is he angry about this time?" 

"Well it's sort of like the master bolt situation"

 "well that's just bloody FANTASTIC!"

 "He kind of thinks your father and Hades have teamed up to overthrow him" 

"how in the world has he deluded himself into thinking that"

 "I don't know, one minute he was normal and the next he started shouting about treachery and weird shit like that."

 "Ok I'll try and sort this out, have you got in contact with Hades?" 

"No I haven't yet, to be honest I pretty scared to go down and tell him, I don't fancy facing his wrath." 

"Well good luck" I say and with that Hermes takes off and flies out of the window.

 I immediately summon just about every servant in the castle, 

"alright, this is an emergency I want our general's  ready on a moments notice and all defences to be engaged. On top of that I want you to send a message to Olympus, am I clear!" 

"Yes" 

They all respond and go off to do their tasks. I turn to the high ranking members of the court who have finally decided to join me a relay to them my instructions.

 "And for the love of god, where the hell is Poseidon!"

Poseidon POV

I am woken up to the feeling of something next to me and look over to see Percy turning in his sleep. I check the time and see it's 6:30 we had fallen asleep again for around a about 4 hours. Realising that I probably should get up at this point and turn to try and wake up Percy.

 "Son, we really do have to get up now"

 "do we have to?" Percy mumbled sleepily

 "yes son we do, we've both got work that needs to get done"

 "alright" he responds slowly sitting up and rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

 "What the hell am I doing here?" he asks only just realising where he was "what the fuck happened?" 

"Yeah, what the fuck happened" I respond my voice taking on darker tone.

 "It's fine" 

"did you just say it's fine!" I roar my anger taking over "how the hell is it fine, you were literally half dead!" 

"I don't want to talk about it okay!" He mutters "I'll tell you later."
