16-Just Breath, Just Relax, It'll Be Okay

Please don't be ghost readers and make some comments :)

The siblings burst into the dining room, causing a big fuss between the guards.

"Brother! We need to talk" he announced, making their sister sigh tiredly and throw her utensils to her plate.

"Poseidon," Zeus greeted forcedly "to what do we owe this pleasure?"

"Demeter, what's going on?" Hera asked her sister, bothered by their dinner interruption.

"It's important, sister" she reassured with a serious nod.

"It's about Thea" Hestia explained, stepping closer to the couple.

"Did she get her powers?" Zeus asked intrigued.

"She's missing"

Zeus and Hera stared at the group in silence, their faces unreadable. Shocked or glad, they couldn't tell.

"How so?" Zeus raised his eyebrow.

"We do not know" Poseidon replied with a shake of his head "What we know is that she was last seen on Friday Night, and hasn't been spotted ever since"

"Perhaps she is taking some alone time to meditate about her powers" Hera shrugged and kept eating.

"I was supposed to go over for dinner on Tuesday Night, but she didn't allow me in" Hestia argued and frowned at her sister "I tried and failed eight times. Something is wrong"

"We need to go look for her" Demeter said, looking at Hestia and Poseidon who nodded in agreement.

"We will not"

The three of them turned towards Zeus with angry and surprised looks on their faces. He just kept eating his breakfast as if nothing was happening.

"Brother?"

"What do you think it happened to her, sister?" Zeus looked up at them and threw his utensils to the table "That she has been kidnapped? Or lost? Or perhaps she is just throwing a tantrum and locking herself in her Island"

"She is not a child, Zeus!" Demeter told him in disbelief, outraged by his indifference.

"She is a Goddess, and daughter of Rhea and Kronos, she is fine" he glared at them and cut a piece of his cake "Whatever she may be doing, she has to attend the Winter Solstice's Meeting in two days, so she may do as she pleases until then"

"I couldn't agree more" Hera supported him with a sly smile and looked up to the others "And if she does not attend, she will be seen as an untrustworthy person who will not be trusted with any information about the war"

"And she will be forbidden to visit Camp Half-Blood" Zeus added.

"She's the Protector of Demigods, you cannot keep her away from them!" Poseidon argued.

"I can, I am the King of The Heavens and Gods"

Poseidon and Zeus held a staring contest, daring each other to say otherwise. Eventually, Poseidon gave in knowing there was no Victory either way.

"Come on" he told his sisters and the three of them left the Palace.

"What will we do? We cannot let this happen" Demeter asked looking back at the Palace in anger.

"We tried Iris Messaging, but it was blurry and didn't seem to reach anyone" Hestia crossed her arms and paced around the marble path.

"All we can do," Poseidon started saying as he looked down on Olympus, watching the people in the shops "is hope that our sister makes it to the Meeting"
