Prince of the Seas, Lord of the Eclipse (Discontinued)

Chapter 8

Olympus was in an uproar when we flashed back in. Apparently Zeus thought Hades had two more kids, and Hades was trying to explain that they were in the Lotus Hotel for over eighty years.

"Quiet!" I yelled. They all looked at me in surprise. No one expected me to tell them all to basically shut up. "Now, since I will be taking over the job of director at Camp Half-Blood–"

"No one said you were doing this, Perseus," Athena sneered at me.

My eyes flashed a dangerous color and I started to glow. My siblings were quick to lay a hand each, on my shoulders, calming me. "I AM taking over the duties of camp director, whether you like it or not, Athena. As well as the fact, the day is quickly approaching where I have to marry, one of your children, according to prophecy. So, if you don't want to upset someone far more powerful than you, and possibly alienate one of your more favored children, I'd hold your tongue."

"Son," Poseidon and Zeus both said at the same time. They glared at each other and said, "He's mine," at equally the same time.

"Stop arguing. I just got done holding up the sky, having Ladon's poison removed from my ichor, and fighting Atlas. Can we not argue over something so petty? Yes, you're both my fathers. Both Leto and Sally were my mothers. Since one is dead, you, Zeus, will release Leto, for us. I need my to speak to her, and she has no right to be locked up. Nor do the other peaceful Titans deserve such a thing. They will be released, or I will not see you as my father until they are.

"Poseidon, stop tormenting Athena. Yes, she pisses you off, but she pisses everyone off here. She's prideful, thats her hubris. Ours is loyalty. Even if you hate her, you'd still be willing to take a spear to the gut for her because of it, I know. I did the same thing with Ladon and Apollo earlier," I say.

"Yeah, and it almost cost you your life again," he muttered angrily.

I chuckled but continued, "We have to stop this infighting. With Hera gone to the other side, we need as much of a cohesive base as possible. I propose to nominate Lady Hestia as the next Queen of Olympus, but NOT your wife Zeus."

The others looked at me in shock. Either they didn't think I could be that smart, or that dumb. I'm not sure which yet. Then suddenly Artemis and Apollo were agreeing, then Poseidon, and Hephaestus and Hermes and Demeter. Hades nodded his accent while Hestia smiled gratefully at me.

Zeus nodded at me, "Wise words my son. Fine, I will accept this. Council dismissed, but Artemis, Apollo, Perseus, would you stay behind. I's like to talk to you before I release the good Titans."

We nodded and everyone else flashed out. We shrunk to human size and he approached us. "As you made known to us, Perseus, Hera is a traitor. I think she was all along. In the first war, a lot of things happened that the Titans would have only been able to react so quickly if they had insider knowledge. For this reason, I think its safe to say that our marriage is dissolved. But...umm...I was wondering. What do you think if I married your mother...Leto?
