Perseus Jackson: Titan of The Hunt

CH37: Consequences

(Artemis)

If I had been nervous of my listeners when I told the Olympian council it was nothing compared to what I was feeling now, as the remaining members of the Titan council looked down on me. At least on Olympus there had only been one god who was in a bad mood over the news here there were seven anyone of which who could have acted badly. Not only at Percy's injury but also the fact Oceanus had been slain. Though the Titans had claimed they were helping in the hunt for the pair, I did not know if they were actually concerned about the search or were possibly even helping the pair secretly.

'As I am sure you are aware your missing members were sighted on the East Coast. Oceanus and Tethys launched an assault on CampHalf-Blood and were able to capture the camp alongside an army of Telkhines who served the pair. The remaining campers, Chiron and Dionysius were held hostage.' I explained as back-story.

'As you know Perseus acts as the Guardian of the Hunt now, when he is not fulfilling his duties here. I had chosen for today for the hunt to return to the camp for a while and we arrived on the outskirts of the camp and Perseus was able to detect something was amiss inside. After learning what the situation was we came up with a plan of action. Myself and Perseus were to engage the Tethys and Oceanus respectively while the hunters and Perseus's Nemean Lioness distracted the Telkhines and the gods of heroes rescued the captives.' I explained.

'A good plan, little risk to the captives. Adequate distraction factoring in the Lioness. Perseus would be suitable against my brother however I have doubts about you against my sister.' Koios said aloud which was understandable he was the Titan of Far Sight.

'Myself and Perseus confronted the pair after the hunt had began their counterattack, however Oceanus was aware already of our arrival and revealed the whole situation was a means of revenge against Perseus for the deaths of Gaia, Hyperion and Krios. Oceanus claimed to have seeked the Throne of Orthrys after killing Perseus and then attacking Olympus again after forcing you all to break your oaths.'

'He was always a bit delusional and different, After all he stood aside in the first war why would we have followed him into another underdog conflict and he may be the eldest child of our parents but he holds little authority over us. We only followed Kronos because he stood against our father.' Iapetus stated and several of the Titanesses nodded in agreement.

'After some more talking which resulted in Perseus annoying the Titan for the most part about how flawed his plan was, Oceanus attacked and Tethys followed her husband after rejecting the option of surrendering peacefully. I do not know the details of their fight as I became separated from them as I fought. I found myself unable to physically harm Tethys due to a shield of ice she created that prevented me from harming her with Arrows and unfortunately I was forced into close combat. I would like to say it was a close battle but the truth is I was outmatched and after a few moves Tethys was able to trap me when my knife was caught in her shield and she was able to start encapsulating me in ice.' I explained honestly, which was followed by Atlas laughing from the side of the room until his father turned to look at him in which he went silent.

'That is all I know of what happened. From what I learned afterwards Tethys threatened me and made Perseus surrender and he was captured by Oceanus before breaking free and disarming his captor, Literally. With Oceanus out of the battle due to his wounds Perseus attacked Tethys with more success than I did but was only able to cause her to retreat when the gods of heroes also confronted her and she fled to the safety of the sea or so I am aware.' I summarized from the little I had learned from Apollo.

'So was Oceanus also made to fade by Perseus?' Rhea asked and I turned to look at my paternal grandmother.

'No he was returned to Tartarus by my Lieutenant but as far I am aware he is still alive.' I answered.
