I started to slowly walk towards the Empire state building, pondering in my head what exactly had just happened. Luke took control of his body and just, stabbed his Achilles heel. I admired that, musing ever so slightly, until I walked into the abandoned lobby of the building. I walk to the elevator and go inside of it, I hit the button for the 600th floor, a.k.a. Olympus. It was a beautiful place, but it was sad and empty, with not even a soul to defend it. I jogged into the throne room, nodding towards Hestia, goddess of the hearth, I sit down and wait for the Olympians.

The Olympians stormed into the throne room, weapons drawn and ready for a fight, when they saw me they almost dropped their weapons in surprise. 

"Percy?" Zeus said, staring at me open mouthed. "Where is the enemy?" I started to laugh, chuckling at the stupidity of his question, in no time I was rolling on the ground and holding my sides. I regained my composure. 

"They're dead, all of them, including Kronos, although that's not thanks to you." 

Zeus' face reddened in anger and embarrassment, he slammed his master bolt on the ground.

"HOW DARE YOU LAUGH AT THE KING OF THE GODS?" I looked him squarely in the eye, my defiance clear. 

"Because the king of the gods did nothing to save their children, he used them as pawns in a war against HIS father. The father that he was to afraid to face himself. BECAUSE HE FELT NO REMORSE AS HIS CHILDREN'S CHILDREN DIED FOR A WAR THAT WASN'T EVEN WORTH IT." I snapped, the pain of everything coming back to me tears started to well in my eyes. I know, the hero of Olympus, slayer of Kronos, crying like a child. Zeus stepped backwards, shocked into realization by my words. He walked to his throne and sat down putting his face in his hands. The rest of the Olympians followed suit, all taking a seat in their thrones and looking at Zeus and unsure of what to do. Zeus composed himself, sitting straight up in his throne. 

"Perseus Jackson, slayer of Kronos, hero of Olympus, you have done us a great deed, and I have decided to grant you one wish." 

I looked Zeus in the eyes, already knowing what I wanted
