After saving Olympus again, Percy and Annabeth had a falling out and ended up breaking up. Percy went to Athena and asked for a request. He requested to be able to understand and speak different languages as well as to be able to read and write othe...
It has been ten years to the day since Perseus had asked me for a request, I had felt bad for him and his breakup with my daughter so I granted him his request. I have had contact with him here and there over the years, and the same could be said with a few other Gods and Goddesses. I was about to sit down and read one of my new books when a silver explosion occurred in the sky signaling Artemis had called a council meeting.
I set my book down and flashed into the throne room, and I sat down in my throne. The other gods and goddesses flashed in not long after me and my father motioned for everyone to be silent.
"Artemis, why have you called this meeting?" asked my father.
Artemis who had cuts and bruises and was in her adult form stood from her throne.
"My hunters and I came across a large cyclops den and as we were fighting them, they had called reinforcements and we got surrounded by monsters we had never seen before."
My father sat up in his throne clearly at attention now.
"It looked like all hope was lost, but then a man clad in red and grey armor with black cloth underneath attacked the foreign enemy. He wore a mask so I was unable to see his face, but he wielded a katana or a sword like it and he dispatched each enemy in quick precision almost as fast as myself. I quickly rallied my Hunters and we finished the Cyclopes, but before we could stop him and hold him for questioning he was gone just as fast as he had appeared. The only thing that was left behind was this." she said as she pulled out a rolled piece of parchment, which was closed with a cord and a wax seal with a Kanji symbol on it.
I got up and took it from Artemis, I then undid the wax seal and unrolled the parchment. I slowly unrolled it and I looked over the Kanji, suddenly the Kanji formed into a 3D image of the person Artemis was just talking about, and I had a feeling I knew who it was.
The figure looked around the room, and started to speak his message.
"Hello Gods and Goddesses of Olympus, I am Kage a Hero of my Gods and Goddesses of Japan. I left this message to warn you that monsters from my country have started to join forces with monsters in your country to try and rule the world, I have a feeling that others will join them so I implore you that you get into contact with the other Pantheons, my clan and myself will be joining your forces soon, only by working together will we win this."
After the message finished the ink from the parchment disappeared and the parchment was blank.
I walked back to my throne and I looked at the few gods and goddesses who have kept in contact with Perseus over the years, and they had had the same idea I had.
"We must gather both camps, and get into contact with the Egyptian and Norse Pantheons, let us hope that Perseus returns to us. Meeting adjourned." said my father.
I then flashed out of the throne room along with the other gods and goddesses that kept in contact with Perseus and we appeared outside of an old Japanese Temple which was located on a densely forested mountain, Torri Gates went down the path into the darkness. There was no light inside the temple, I along with the others walked through the main gate and we were greeted by Kitsune woman in Shrine Maiden outfits. I bowed to them and asked them if their master was home, they told me that he had gotten back half an hour ago and I thanked them. I then walked towards the main house, all the while I saw Tengu, Oni, and more Kitsune training or walking around. Of course there were the ones I could t physically see, but I knew were around which was the Master of the Houses personal guard.
I walked to the sliding bamboo door and opened it, taking my shoes off as I got inside. The others followed my example and we continued to the sitting room. After we sat down in the traditional Japanese style we waited for our host, he arrived with two kids following behind him along with a raven haired Kitsune woman who had nine tails showing just how powerful she truly is.

"It's been some time everyone, I believe it was my wedding that you were last here." he said.
"It's good to see you Perseus." I said with a faint smile.
"It's good to see you as well Lady Athena." He said holding one of the children.
"This is Akiya if you're wondering, and that is his twin sister Ane." said Perseus.
"Kurayami, it's good to see that you are healthy, and I do love the new kimono." I said.
"That is very kind of you Lady Athena, and I'm happy to see that you are in good health as well." she said.
"Now let's get down to the reason of our visit." I said.
Perseus nodded and told his children to go play, the got up and ran after each other out of the room. Two Oni women in kimonos walked in carrying trays. One of the trays had a traditional tea set and the other had small tea snacks, even though they were quite muscular they gave off the sense of gentleness and refinement. After they had poured everyone a cup of tea they walked back over to the side where they were before, I wasn't even able to sense them.
"We received your message that you left for Artemis after you saved her, you have been doing well for yourself haven't you?" I asked.
Perseus took a sip of tea and set his cup down.
"Yes I have, and as you can see I haven't aged a day since my wedding. I'm sure you know why that is." He said.
"Indeed I do, you became a god didn't you?" I asked.
"Yes I did, my wife is an immortal and I wanted to stay with her for the rest of my life and so I did requests for each deity well each good deity and afterwards they all agreed on my request to be made a god, a minor god but a god nonetheless." he said.
"I will say you look at peace." I stated.
"Indeed, over the years I was able to take control of my emotions completely and gain peace and enlightenment from them. Not only did this center my soul, but gave me immense power as well." He said.
"Who do you think is trying to take over? Do you have any idea Perseus?" I asked.
Perseus closed his eyes for a moment and he was motionless, as still as a statue. He then opens his eyes and looks at me with a serious expression.
"There are many who wish to control the world, many of home I have fought in the past, both Greek and Shinto. The Shinto Demons and some of the Monsters wish to cause chaos and crimes against humanity, and will do anything in their power to do so, and with how technology has grown their influence and their notoriety has grown. The Greek enemies that I fought in the past want to control and enslave humanity, there are others in the multiple different pantheons who wish for the same thing. There are many names that I can think of in both Shinto and Greek who would wish for world domination. I can't come up with just a single answer for your question, so no I don't know for sure who is trying to take over. My guess is that it will be an alliance of different pantheons who will then divide up the world amongst themselves if they win." He said.
"You plan on fighting with us correct?" I asked.
"My message was clear, my clan will fight alongside you and so will our deities." He said.
I held my hand out to shake, and he took my hand and shook it.
Everyone then stood up and bowed before the others and I turned and left, as soon as we were outside the compound I looked at Poseidon who had a smile on his face.
"Happy that you have grandchildren?" asked Hestia.
"Very happy." Said Poseidon.
"Enough talk we need to get prepared for what comes next." I said.
