"What should we do with him?"
"He needs to be punished!"
"How should we punish him?"
I come to, my head pounding. I groan and blink the drowsiness from my eyes, everything is blurry.
When I can finally see clearly again, I see that I am kneeling on the floor in the middle of the Olympian throne room. My hands are tied behind my back and my ankles are chained together. The only thing keeping me up in a kneeling position is the tight chain connecting my wrists and feet, forcing me to kneel.
"Ugh...what happened?"
I murmur."PERSEUS JACKSON!"
A voice booms.I snap my head to look forward, and see who spoke. Ah, of course. Drama Queen.
"'Sup, Drama Queen?"
His face turns a bright cherry red and I snicker quietly. I just love to piss off gods.
"DO YOU KNOW WHY YOU ARE HERE?"
"No, I don't, but I assume you are going to tell me anyway."
"YOU HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH TREASON!"
"Treason?! What do you mean 'treason'?!"
"I MEAN, THAT YOU HAVE AIDED KRONOS AND GAEA IN BOTH WARS."
"You have no proof!"
"WE DO!"
Jason Grace, my former friend, now enemy, steps out of the crowd of demigods that I just now realize are here. He walks over to his father and presents scrolls, maps, and letters.
"Jason? What are you doing?"
"What do you THINK I'm doing? I'm handing over a traitor!"
Zeus gingerly takes the presented items from his son's hands and opens them, briefly reading each one. His face gets angrier and angrier by the second.
"YOU HAVE GIVEN AWAY ALL THE WEAKNESSES TO BOTH CAMPS?!"
"Are you kidding me?! I would never!"
A letter is thrust into my view. It is poorly written, like someone was in a hurry. The handwriting is horrible, not even mine is that bad, and spidery. It is addressed to 'General of Gaea's army' and signed 'Perseus Jackson'.
"This isn't even my handwriting!"
"YOU HAVE NO WAY TO PROVE IT!"
"I would if you would be smart enough to untie my hands!"
"YOU DARE INSULT ME?!"
"You dare accuse me?!"
"HOW DO PLEAD?!"
"The same I have been pleading this whole time! Not guilty!"
"DOES ANYONE STAND BY HIM?!"
No-one moves. They all just stare at my in hatred, glaring. I sigh as I feel as if a piece of my heart has shattered. Nice to know they care.
"NO? IN THAT CASE, ALL IN FAVOR?!"
"Hey! You can't do this! You have no witnesses!"
"We do!"
I see Annabeth Chase march out if the crowd to stand in front of me, looking at the gods.
"I saw him cheating on me with an Aphrodite child two weeks ago!"
"Excuse me?! I haven't even been back at camp for more than two days! And YOU are the one cheating on ME!"
