Perseus Jackson: Titan of The Hunt

CH13: The Greatest Hero

"Where did he get that sword? Hestia how did he get it you had it last?" Zeus demanded hysterically looking at his sister whilst pointing at the bi-metal sword that lay on the ground. The truth was I already knew that Perseus had the sword already having seen him use it against Enceladus and again before he entered Gaia. Of course, I had little opportunity to ask under the circumstances from which he had obtained it. Then there was obviously what it had done to the now dead Augur.

"It is not my place to tell, I only know it is now with its true master." She replied matter of factly folding her arms and closing her discussion of the matter.

"He said he got it in Tartarus from his grandfather to Octavian." The Roman Praetor Reyna said bowing to the King of the Gods.

"But that is not possible, why would our father give it to my son after he defeated him? Although... it would explain something strange that happened at Olympus we were struggling to fight Hippolytus. We simply could not catch the giant when Perseus asked me to trust him and suddenly the giant was moving in slow motion it seemed." Poseidon said looking at the unconscious boy curiously.

"He has golden pupils; I saw them before. However, unless you look closely you would not notice." I added curious to know what it meant for the boy in his father's arms.

"That settles it, Apollo wake him up I demand an explanation!" My father shouted, only to be met by a sword to his throat from the Lord of the Dead.

"Whatever the story, we will listen to Perseus when he wakes up I his own time. We owe him that much whatever the story is, are you forgetting he saved us all this morning?" He warned pushing the Stygian Iron blade further under his brother's chin.

"Very well but discuss we shall, I must know if he is a threat." Zeus growled before Hades relented sheathing his blade.

"We must still deal with the Romans currently stuck outside this fort; they are leaderless at the moment." Athena added thankfully back in her usual form. The changes it appeared only affected one half of her aspects. As Athena she retained her dark hair and older, sterner look rather than Minerva's new blond hair and younger look.

"Apollo, Ares go to them and call an assembly, Hermes take the daughter of Bellona and fetch my son and the other two Romans and take them to their fellows and inform them of all recent events. I leave it at your discretion Apollo to tell them what became of the Augur they probably heard the screams." Zeus ordered before the four flashed out after changing forms.

"Once they return, we will return to Olympus and carry on the ceremony then. Oh, and Dionysius once the big house is repaired, this changes nothing you will be back here." He said addressing the rest of us earning a curse from the aforementioned god.

The Romans swiftly came to a consensus about cooperation with the Greeks. Fortunately, no campers from either camp had been killed other than my Hunters and Octavian who was swiftly forgotten. Although they did immediately strip Percy of his Praetorship because Octavian was not given a fair trial not that he would probably care, he had only held the title for 2 days. Jason was re-elected into his former post fixing the too many Praetors problem.

Once the Romans settled down and went back to their fort after Mars blew a hole in the wall, the gate still remained barred. The spear remained unmoving as did Perseus's other weapons with the exception of Anaklusmos which reverted back to a pen in his pocket. The Demigods were ordered to remain away from them for the moment until the Perseus situation was dealt with, whilst we returned to Olympus.

I awoke to find myself in what seemed like a hospital bed but where everything normally would be white, instead it was all made of gold. The glare from the reflections immediately made me close my eyes to shield them from the shine. Slowly I opened them again and saw my father was sitting in a chair apparently eating the hospital ambrosia before noticing the look I was giving him.
