Saying that Mt. Olympus was in chaos would most definitely be an understatement. Last night the masters of fate, Morai read a prophecy and, welllll... it might have indicated the overthrowing of a certain lightning throne.

A reality too good to be the truth

a fantasy too absurd to be a lie

for bearing a fruit like that,

the daughter of ocean had to pay the price

when the glow of moon shines on a freezing winter land

when a glowing flower blooms on a never ending night

Their most ancient dream will be granted,

before the spring rises again

fair to all, unfair to all

caring about only what is his to own

the sun, earth and moon

exist for only his pleasure

that one entity that will be born from death,

will live standing above all the rest

Arguably Zeus is many things: a bad father, a bad husband, a good brother, (sometimes,) a man-whore, someone who needs to keep his dick in his pants, a manipulative asshole sometimes even a cock-slut.

What he is definitely not is an idiot. As soon as the prophecy was announced he called the meeting of 12 gods without a second of hesitation.

They have already decoded the prophecy, it wasn't that hard to decode in the first place.

Fruit here will mean child, the daughter of ocean is referring to Zeus' ex-wife Metis, this part is indicating that the child about to be born will overthrow Zeus.

Glowing flower as in Queen of the night, and never ending night as in death. directly indicating towards Hades and Persephone which makes this ten times more complicated.

As they were already expecting a child to arrive sometime after the year ends, 'when the glow of moon shines on a freezing winter land,' which means the child already meets the criteria of being born in winter.

Most ancient dream certainly refer to how badly they have dreamed of having a child for centuries.

This was getting more and more complicated, the entire Mt. Olympus was in a state of panic at this point,

They can't let this child be born but they can't exactly interfere either. King Hades and Queen Persephone have wanted a child for so long, if Olympus tries to interfere, there will definitely be a war.

If they don't interfere, someone they can't deal with, no matter how hard they try will be born.

With no solutions seeming to be coming up in the near future, all they could do was side-eye Queen Hera and Hestia who were the ones directly responsible for all this.

The First Lady of Olympus and her elder sister looked at each other, and decided that it was best to not say anything in this situation.

That night thunderbolts could be heard from every corner of earth. The mortals all tried to speculate about just what could've made King of the skies so angry.
