Percy Jackson and the Incarnate - 2: Who is the spy?

CHAPTER 10 POV: Percy Jackson

Jason created a portal and we entered Olympus. There sat the Olympians. There were.

"From when we had sixteen Olympians?", Jason whisper-yelled in shock.

"And from when did the council meeting became so quiet?", Luke asked back.

"She remembered!", I muttered.

"What?", he asked.

"I wanted Hades, Hestia, Amphitrite and Persephone to be included as Olympians so that the council is balanced. Only Annabeth, Dad and Apollo knew my wish. So, she must have demanded the wish to be fulfilled.", I said. Oh Gods! The last two days, I have been an emotional wreck.

The grudges and arguments continued but they were toned down. May be the lack of balance in the council as aggravating the problem. With the council now balanced, the meetings were now calmer and result oriented.

"Brothers, I guess we have guests.", Hestia had noticed us and informed them.

"Who are you people? You dare to enter the throne room without permission when the Olympians were discussing sensitive issues?!", Zeus thundered. Some things never changed.

"O King of the gods!!! We are the Army of Chaos. We have come to aid you in the war.", Octavian, the diplomat in the group, said.

"Thank Chaos you arrived. Sorry if we didn't recognize you.", Poseidon asked.

"No offense taken.", Jason replied.

Hades looked at the group and asked, "I thought that the Army of Chaos had just twelve members, when did it turn thirteen?"

"You know about them?", Zeus asked.

"Yes brother. I know them for who they are. Chaos asked me to send some noble souls from the underworld to him to create his army. He made me swear on him not to disclose their identities. So, do not expect me to reveal them.", Hades said. Zeus looked crestfallen.

"As for your question, Lord Hades, we are still twelve members. We have brought with us an Ally.", Octavian said.

"Ally? Who is it?", Athena asked.

"It is me, Lady Athena. Evlogimenos. At your service.", I said and bowed.

"Why did you name yourself as blessed?", Athena asked.

"I have faced many perils in my life, and still face many so. But I believe I am blessed, for I successfully overcame my perils. So, I call myself blessed.", I explained. Athena had a look of approval in her eyes.

"Moreover, I was blessed by some gods.", I added.

"Who?", Athena asked intrigued.

"Many from the Hindu Pantheon. Indra, Yama, Varuna, Surya, Chandra, etc. etc.", I said and they all gasped.

"You were blessed by the Hindu Pantheon?!", Zeus asked incredulously.

"Yes. I helped them, especially Varuna. So, he gave me his blessing and I can control water in any form. You may even mistake me for a son of Poseidon.", I said and instantly, Apollo and Hestia's eyes brightened ever so slightly. I saw him and he gave a wink while Hestia nodded ever so slightly.

"Pardon me to interrupt. Can we get an explanation why there are sixteen Olympians now?", Octavian asked.

"One of our heroes asked it as his wish. The last wish I may add.", Poseidon said and chocked at the last sentence.

"Whose?", Asteria asked.

"Perseus Jackson. Hero of Olympus and the holder of many titles to list.", Athena said grudgingly.
