"Perhaps we should have a break." Will suggested as he gazed around the room at the tense and perturbed faces of the past generation. "I think that's a grand idea son." Apollo chimed his eyes turned to the flamboyant old man confined in a constricting spell, his mind raced with the things he wished to do to him.

"Dinner?" Thalia asked, small tables appearing in front of each sofa.

"Please tell me that you won't get any more hurt, I don't think my heart can take it." James pleaded with his daughter who stood up and sat beside him, wrapping him in a hug.

"I can't promise that, but I can guarantee you that I stay alive." She kissed his cheek, smiling when she felt a set of arms on her shoulders, "Corvus." She turned to her godbrother and smiled, it had been so long since they last got to be together.

"Little flower."  He kissed her head as he hugged her, "how have you been sister?"
"I've been fine, what about you, and Astro how is he?" She looked around beaming when she locked eyes with her cousin and uncle. "We're all fine, glad to be here though." He ruffled her hair before returning to sit with his fathers.

"What happened with your mother?" James asked, it had been bothering him to no end, they seemed fine when they first got there, perhaps they had made up?

"It's complicated, we. We have always had a difficult relationship, she loved you very much and when you fell into that coma she blamed me. That, as you can imagine, put a strain on our relationship, but she was a good mother, at times. She did her best, really. It was just hard for her." Cassiopeia sighed as she leaned into her father's side, "we're fine now, our relationship is good, truly." A content expression settled over her face as she gazed at her mother and brother.

"I see. It will be different this time, I promise." James kissed her hair.

"I know, but promise me one other thing, I want to go to camp, I want to meet Percy." She looked up at him with pleading eyes.

"He seems like a good kid." James muttered looking over to the blonde who was joking with his friends.

"He is." Cassiopeia assured standing up to go and see her grandparents.

Euphemia immediately pulled the dark haired girl to sit beside her when she saw her approach, "Cassy darling, how are you?" She smoothed a hand down Cassiopeia's back.

"I'm good grandma, oh hi Luna." Cassiopeia waved to the blonde who was sat beside Fleamont and Thalia.

"Hi Cassy." Luna said airily, her head tilting to the side. "So, my darling, tell me all about these gods." Euphemia requested glaring over to the deities.

"Son." Poseidon walked over to Percy and stood before him, silencing the conversation he was engaging in with his friends. "Father." Percy acknowledged.

"I need to know what you know about Cassiopeia's grandmother, is she a threat." Poseidon seemed genuinely concerned as he glanced nervously at the older woman who was shooting daggers at him.

"Well, from what James told me no, but also you hurt her grandbaby and her grand babies family, soooo, yeah you should be very concerned." Percy replied with a laugh, a childish grin stretched across his face as he looked up at his father, "but it's fine Zuzu should be the one who's really worried." The boy nodded over to the lightning god who was shifting uncomfortably in his seat, trying to ignore his wife's piercing gaze. "Right?" Poseidon awkwardly walked back to his throne.

"Oh my gods!" Nico cackled, slapping Will as he shook with laughter, "that was hilarious." The others all laughed along tears forming in their eyes at their own amusement. "Ohhh I can't believe he's scared of Grandma Mia." Clarisse chortled, her body rocking with amusement.
