Zeus P.O.V.

It's been almost two days since we banished Perseus Jackson. I would have been happier if we had just killed him or sent him to Tartarus instead, but I guess banishing him is good enough for me too.

I was sitting on my throne on Olympus when I started thinking about the joyous day.

~~~~~~FLASH BACK STARTS~~~~~

Hermes flashed into the throne room with Perseus. Then Hermes disappeared and reappeared on his own throne in full height. He didn't look happy. I guess he was upset that he had to be the one who had to go get Percy. Nobody wanted to do it, so we took a vote. Everybody voted that Hermes should be the one to get him (except Hermes who voted on Poseidon).

"Perseus Jackson." My voice boomed throughout the Throne Room. "You have been summoned to this meeting so we, the gods, can determine what is to be done with you.

We recently got an anonymous tip saying that you, Perseus Jackson, have been leaking important information from Camp Half-Blood and Mount Olympus to the enemy." I finished. Perseus stood there with a look of shock written on his face.

"You should just kill him." Hera muttered loudly.

"No." Athena said. "Send him to Tartarus so he can suffer for what he did to my daughter."

"How about you send him to the Fields of Punishment." Artemis said.

"I agree with Hera. Just kill him. The boy is much too powerful." Dionysus said lazily.

"What?!" Percy asked. Then he looked at Poseidon. "Father, what's going on?"

"I am not your father. Do not insult me by calling me as such. I have disowned you." Poseidon said with disgust. "And Sally said that she is ashamed to call you her son and never wants to see you again."

"What..." Perseus said, his voice barely a whisper, his hurt was written plainly across his face.

"Yes..." I said. "Maybe we should send him to the Underworld."

"But I saved you! All of you! More then once!" Perseus yelled, shaking. Geez and they call me dramatic.

"Yes, he does have a point." Apollo said looking sad.

"As much as I want him to be wrong, he's right. We can't go killing the 'Savior of Olympus', unfortunately." Hermes said upset in a disappointed way.

"Then what do you suggest we do." Dionysus said impatiently.

"We could banish him that way we never have to see him again." Aphrodite said.

"What! This is how you treat people who save you?! This is how you thank me?!" Perseus shouted. "One day! One day you'll need me and I won't be there and it'll be your own fault! One day you'll regret this! And I won't help you when you come begging and crying for it."

Ignoring Perseus's completely, I looked at the other gods, then said, "all those in favor of banishing Perseus Jackson from New York raise their hands."

All the gods raised their hands.

"I would have liked it better if you killed him." Athena said. Artemis, Hera and Aphrodite agreed.
