Brothers in Arms

Brothers Wrath

The Olympians were in a uproar as they argued over whether they should send forces to help the Greeks fight against the Persians.

"We must help them," Zeus demanded.

"Why, so we can be sent to Tartarus for getting involved with mortal affairs? You know the ancient laws Zeus."

"Poseidon, we must help our own people."

"I didn't say we don't. I said do not send our armies. We merely send in our sons. Percy, Jason, and Nico can take care of this. They are demigods and so it will not be going against the ancient laws. They are powerful and are most definitely the best warriors to ever live."

"Father, for once in my entire immortal life I agree with Poseidon."

Laughter was heard around the throne room. It sounded like there were multiple people laughing.

"Who dares disturb a council meeting?"

"Dad, chill out," Jason said to his now dumbstruck father after he used the winds to carry him down from his hiding spot on the ceiling.

"When did you get in here?"

"Well Nico shadow traveled us in here and I used the moisture in the air to make a somewhat solid platform for us to stand on," Percy chuckled as he and Nico dropped from the ceiling as well.

Zeus grumbled about over powered nephews, but he couldn't complain much when his own son was one of the three most powerful demigods in existence.

"What we're you laughing about anyway?"

"Well, we were laughing because that was probably the first and last time that Athena has and ever will agree with my father, "Percy said while being glared at by the wisdom goddess.

"He isn't wrong sister," Jason said while floating a foot off the ground.

Athena grumbled about annoying demigods under her breath, but no one payed her any attention.

"We will go. Under one condition," Nico said, a small gleam in his eyes, not much unlike the one Hermes gets when he's about to steal something.

"What is it you want then?"

It was Percy's turn to speak up. "We would like for Ares and Athena to bless us."

"Why them? Why not some of us, the ones who have powers that can save your lives?"

"Because, we can use the knowledge from Athena to make quick battle plans and Ares's blessing to help us learn new combat abilities. Anything else you would like to know Apollo?"

The sun god blushed in embarrassment, but before he could start talking again, Zeus interrupted him.

"Fine, but only if you complete this task correctly. You must not show mercy upon the enemy and remember to bring honor to Olympus. I also have another task for you. If you bring me the head of the Persian leader that claims to be a god, then I will reward you with more gifts."

The three demigods grinned.

"We will be back within the week," Percy said before grabbing his cousin's shoulders and vapor traveling them away.

The army's of Greece were marching their way to the center of Persia, where their "god" king resided.

The man had challenged the Olympians and had come to realize his stupidity. He had returned to his home when the Greeks destroyed his armies that he sent to wipe them out.
