Poseidon was sitting on his throne. Waiting for Percy to show up.

He had called the rest of the Olympians for a meeting to go over the details about what happened yesterday at Camp Half-Blood. They had already discussed everything Poseidon wanted to share.

He had received a long lecture from Zeus about intervening with the battle but he didn't care. If he hadn't stayed he wouldn't have found Percy.

Suddenly a breeze filled the room. The gods looked to Zeus who just shrugged saying it wasn't him.

Poseidon smirked knowing Percy was about to arrive.

He had told the Olympians the Son of Chaos wanted to introduce himself to them. They were all interested.

The gods looked around in caution when the room turned as dark as night.

Yells of surprise came from some of the gods.

No one moved as a cold voice filled the air. "The gods of Olympus. Why I would say it is a pleasure to meet you but that is only true for some of you."

Poseidon grew a little concerned. He knew Percy was still himself but thinking on what the gods had done to him caused worry to fill his chest. Percy was now much more powerful than them. Zeus had destroyed his life and he didn't know what Percy might do if provoked.

The gods couldn't see anything. They knew someone was in the room somewhere but had no idea where. Zeus brought out his master bolt, it glowed softly in the darkness as he spoke up, "Who are you?"

Suddenly, rich sea green eyes shone from the center of the throne room. The gods could see stars swirling in them. They all held their breath. Not knowing what would happen.

"Why, I am the Son of Chaos little Olympians."

The room shook slightly and the wind picked up as light instantly flooded the room, blinding the gods momentarily.

As they regained their sight they looked to the center of the throne room as the man finished speaking.

"And my name is Percy Jackson."

Poseidon smirked at the shocked look on everyone's faces. No one said anything.

Percy stood there in his royal attire, crown gleaming, wings spread out. He looked like a force to be reckoned with and the Olympians didn't know how he viewed them after the last time he was here.

Zeus' face was void of color, he stammered as he tried to form a thought.

'How is this boy the son of Chaos?' he thought to himself.

The rest of the Olympians were still focused on Percy but their attention was drawn to Zeus as he got out of his throne. He stepped toward the boy with conflicting thoughts.

Poseidon was instantly standing and his trident appeared in his hand, ready to defend his son.

Percy held up a hand to Poseidon, stopping him from advancing. His eyes never leaving Zeus'.

Percy stood there with no emotion on his face.

"Perseus. I've waited a long time to see you again. I- I'm sorry. Will you forgive me?"

Percy narrowed his eyes as his bottled up emotions began to surface. After a moment of silence he spoke. "Forgive you?" He growled out. "No."

Poseidon was definitely worried now. He saw the shift in his sons emotions.

The god of the sky took a step back but anger filled his eyes. "You insolent demigod." 

Zeus summoned his master bolt. Those who supported Percy were now standing as well. Cries filled the air as the bolt was swiftly launched through the air. Yet they fell silent when Percy simply reached out and caught it. Holding it in his hands as if inspecting it.

"Pathetic. And you are still somehow King." Percy seethed in a dark tone.

His aura pulsed, and with a thrust of his wings, he was right in front of Zeus. The bolt still in his hands. "You think you can just destroy my life, ask for forgiveness and then threaten me again?!" 

Percy's anger could be felt by everyone in the room and they stood frozen in fear. Zeus stumbled as he tried to back away. "Y-you will not disrespect m-me!"

Percy's power pulsed to life more as his eyes glowed brightly. The room began to shake, the light seemed to dim and a breeze filled the room. "Disrespect?! I'm the Son of Chaos! You are the one who is disrespecting me!"

 Poseidon stepped forward, "Percy, calm down."

He didn't react, didn't even seem to hear him. Instead he rushed forward, closing the distance between them and hit Zeus with his own weapon. Lightning flashed and the god of the sky screamed in agony and fell to the ground. 

No one moved. Apollo didn't even try to help. A golden flash filled the room and a man suddenly appeared behind Percy. Everyone tensed even more. Zeus sat up slowly, painfully.

Chaos walked up to his son, gently putting a hand on his shoulder. The boy turned around quickly, expecting another god to pick a fight with him but came face to face with Chaos. His anger quickly faded as Chaos met his gaze. His emotions flooded him, eyes turning glassy with moisture. Then without a word he disappeared. 

Chaos sighed before stepping towards Zeus. "Forgiveness is not something you will be receiving from Percy any time soon. And you will heed this warning: do not threaten my son again."

Then just as he appeared, the creator was gone.
