Hope this is okay!

Percy's POV

"On what grounds, may I ask?" Mom said coolly.

"For breaking your oath!" Hera snapped.

"But I never broke the oath." Mom smirked and I could tell she was enjoying herself.

"But you said he was...." Zeus began before getting interrupted.

"Have you ever heard of adoption?" I asked making the King of the Gods blush in embarrassment.

"Then who is your birth parent?" Athena demanded.

"The one who abandoned me or the one who died saving my life?" I said in a cold voice, thinking about that day that brought both anger and joy to him. Joy of meeting his mother and anger that he was abandoned by his father.

"What do you mean abandoned?" Hephaestus asked, showing a surprising amount of concern, before I remembered that he was abandoned by Hera.

"I was only seven months old and my birth mother took me to my biological father's domain. We we were literally standing in it, before a monster that is usually loyal to my biological father attacked us and killed my mother." I growled.

"How did you survive?" Ares asked. "Did Artemis save you?"

"He used his Demigod powers to kill the Cyclops." Mom said with pride evident in her voice.

"Wait a minute, did you say Cyclops?" Hermes demanded. "They're usually loyal to Poseidon..... YOU BROKE THE OATH!" He yelled out pointing at the sea god.

"Zeus broke it first!" Poseidon pointed out scared.

"At least I didn't abandon them!" Zeus yelled angrily at Poseidon, " But now Perseus is my grandchild and I trust Artemis to raise him right."

"He is my...." Poseidon began, only for mom to cut him off.

"He is not your son anymore! She shouted angrily. "He is the Son of the Moon and The Nephew of the Sun!"

"The friend of the Traveler." Hermes said standing up.

"An apprentice of war." Ares said surprising them.

"The forger of destiny." Declared Hephaestus.

"How dare you take my son from me!" Poseidon roared, leaping to his feet.

"You abandoned him!" Apollo yelled pulling out his bow before anyone could do anything.

"ENOUGH!" *cough* Drama Queen *cough* shouted making everyone turn to him.

"Artemis adopted Perseus and that is not going to change. I do not know if that will remove him from the effects of the prophecy but even I am tried from running from it. I trust Artemis to raise him right."

"Thank you, father." Mom said smiling at Zeus who returned it with a wink.

"But in the meantime, I wish for him to stay at Camp Half-Blood at least during the summer so he may be around other half-bloods besides those in the hunt. Zeus declared.

Signing Mom nodded. "He will stay in my cabin."

"No he will stay in mine!" Poseidon yelled out angrily.

"Why would I stay in the cabin of someone who isn't my parent when I've already been claimed?" I asked in mock confusion making Mom, Zeus and Athena chuckle and the Sea god fume.

"You tell him little bro!" Zoe said happily as she and Phoebe moved to flank me.

"It is decided then," Thunderpants declared. "Perseus shall spend his summers at camp and the rest of the year with the hunt." And the council flashed out, with Athena winking at him as she vanished.

"Now let's go back to camp so you can said good-bye." Mom said hugging him.

"You know they'd probably want to come to camp now right? I asked with a smirk. "To do what Ze and Phe-Phe did."

"Got that right, little bro!" Phoebe laughed ruffling my hair.

"Hey!" I complained while they all laughed at him.
