Please! I Need You!

Zeus's POV

After six years, I finally decided to tell Poseidon about my plan to kill Percy. I know I said I would do it before, but I faltered. So basically, there was only a raging Poseidon who was destroying cities. Yup. Need to stop this.

I ventured to my brother and told him of the meeting we would have in Olympus. When he looked at me, I saw pure pain and devastation. He had to give a speech on his 'favorite' son when he got married to Annabeth. I know that Michael's life was the one Percy should be living right now. I sighed and took a deep breath, then, I entered the throne room.

I made sure that the twelve Olympians, including Hades were there. Nobody was particularly happy. The gods other than Poseidon knew what this meeting was. I got many glares, especially from Hades. I began the meeting.

"Poseidon. I know you are mourning Perseus's death, and I know it's a touchy subject, but I need to talk to you." Tension filled the air and Poseidon glared at me. "So... we had a meeting without you before the war in agreement to kill Percy so that we could win the war and the odds were in favor and that's why Percy is dead." I rushed through all of my words. I glanced at my brother expecting him to be filled with rade. He wasn't. In fact, he was completely at peace.

"It had to be done," were Poseidon's only words. We all gaped at him. Well, except for Hades, he looked disgusted. I couldn't lie. I was disgusted myself. Sure, I killed Percy, but Poseidon not caring! Now that's a whole new level.

Suddenly, the room got cold. I saw Hades smile slightly. All I could think was Oh, crud. Then, in the middle of the throne room appeared the three fates.

They spoke in unison. "Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon's fate was sealed by others. Percy should be here now living. This is the wrong fate. Hades, bring his spirit here." Hades nodded than disappeared. He came back a moment later with a red-eyed Percy. "You must live little hero. You must return to your mortal body." The fates said. Percy didn't respond. The gods looked confused. "Hades, will you bring this hero back?" Percy smiled a little. Hades nodded once, then he spoke in Greek.

Μια ψυχή επιστρέφει στη γη , φέρει το σώμα του, τον άφησε να σταθεί .

Translates to: A soul shall return to land, bring his body, let him stand.

I saw Percy's eyes light up slightly. When Hades snapped his fingers, Percy was once again a mortal.

"Now," I began. "You shall not tell anyone whom you are. You will have a code name ah... Peter Johnson." Percy and Dionysus chuckled at the name choice. "You may only tell Chiron, your mother, and Grover," I continued. Percy's face fell. I knew exactly what he was thinking. What about Annabeth? "Soon Percy, soon." Percy looked startled and I tried to give him a warm smile. That didn't really work. Either way, Percy was excited to head back to Camp Half-Blood. I know he is deep down. Percy thanked us before heading out of Olympus. I was ready to repay my brother.
