Betrayed |✔

Chapter 5

The next morning, we wrote a note.

To Whoever cares:
We have left because this hell hole holds too much painful memories. We will never come back willingly. And forget about us. Take care of your two new heroes, CHB, for you old heroes will never be back, at least not willingly. This is what you get for betraying us.
Goodbye, CHB.

P.S. Hope you two like your new boyfriends, Annabeth and Piper. Have fun snogging each other.
P.P.S. Enjoy your new heroes, CHB.

Για όποιον ενδιαφέρεται:
Έχουμε φύγει επειδή αυτή η τρύπα κόλαση κρατά πάρα πολύ επώδυνες αναμνήσεις. Ποτέ δεν θα επιστρέψουμε πρόθυμα. Και ξεχάστε μας. Φροντίστε τους δύο νέους ήρωές σας, CHB, γιατί οι παλιοί ήρωες δεν θα επιστρέψουν ποτέ, τουλάχιστον όχι πρόθυμα. Αυτό παίρνετε για να μας προδώσετε.
Αντίο, CHB.
Ανώνυμος

.S. Ελπίζω ότι εσείς δύο όπως τα νέα φίλα σας, Annabeth και Piper. Διασκεδάστε να αγκαλιάζετε ο ένας τον άλλον.
P.P.S. Απολαύστε τους νέους ήρωες σας, CHB.

We folded the note in half and hid it in the big house. Then we shouldered our bags, and left without turning back. We went to Olympus and asked for the key of the 600th floor and the doorman told us we were crazy. So I manipulated the water in his bottle and made it splash in him the face. "Look here, we have 6 children of the Big 3. Let us up to Olympus or you'll regret it." I said. "My apologies, here you go." He quickly handed us the card. "Thank you." Hazel said. Then we went to the elevator.

When we reached he throne room, it was empty. "What are you doing here, demigods?" A small voice asked. I looked at the hearth and saw a eight year old girl tending the fire. I bowed to the girl and the rest followed my example. "Good morning, Lady Hestia, we need to speak to the council please," I said. She nodded and raised her hand, a stream of fire shot up to the sky. Then she snapped her fingers and couches appeared. "Please sit. Did you all eat breakfast yet?" She asked. "Thank you Lady Hestia, and no, we have not have breakfast yet." Hazel said. "Poor things. Eat." Hestia replied, snapping her fingers and making food appear. We thanked her ans started to eat just as the gods flashed in one by one.

"What is it you have called us here for, sister?" Zeus boomed. Hestia simply pointed to us. We were already standing and greeted the gods formally. "Sit. Why are you here?" Zeus asked. Before any of us could speak, Aphrodite rushed to us and hugged Percy and Jason. "I'm soooo sorry, boys. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. I don't know what Eros is doing. He broke up two of my favourite ships! I'm so sorry about my daughter, Jason." Aphrodite babbled. "It's ok..." the boys said, awkardly. Aphrodite collected herself and went back to her throne, still sniffling. Artemis handed her a tissue symphatically.

"What's wrong?" Poseidon asked. And we told the whole story. Soon, all the gods were yelling at each other. Blaming each other. They didn't realise a portal had opened. "Athena! Your daughter hurt my son! What do you have to say for yourself?" Poseidon yelled. "Aphrodite! I trusted Jason with your daughter coz she is the daughter of the love goddess! I never knew she would betray him!" Zeus shouted. Only Hestia noticed the man in robes who have stepped through the portal. She shot flames at the roof again to get their attention.

The whole throne room turned silent, waiting for the strange man to speak. Finally, he let out a laugh. "I've forgotten how the council could argue! Now, I know what these demigods have been through. And I come with an offer : come join and lead my army. I will make all of you immortal. Fight for me against the greatest evil you have ever faced." The man said. "That man is Lord Chaos, creator of the universe." Apollo said helpfully when he noticed we were staring at the man in confusion. We discussed for a minute then decided. "What do you say, Demigods?" Zeus asked. "We accept. Thank you for the offer, Lord Chaos." Percy said. Chaos smiled. "No problem and it is just Chaos, Perseus." Percy flinch visibly. "And it's just Percy, Chaos." He retorted, after collecting himself. "Very well, Percy. Now, I'll need each and everyone of you to bless these demigods so they have the capability to win the future war." Chaos said.

Some of them were clearly unhappy. But all the gods blasted us with different coloured energy beams, including Chaos. When we could see again, they explained their blessings. Zeus went first. "You all now have control over wind and lightning, all of you can fly too. Get Jason and Thalia to teach you. All of you also have safe passage through the skies. And an eagle will be at your command whenever you call for it."

Then Hera went, "You now can read minds and have a peacock at your command too."

Then Poseidon, "My children, I have no more powers I can grant you except for shape shifting so now you two have it. For the rest of you, although you all cannot shape shift, you now have safe passage through the seas and have all powers Percy and Rhodania has, which means you can manipulate water, breathe underwater and such, get Percy and Rhodania to teach you. All of you also have a horse, pegasi,  and hippocampus at your command. However, you cannot understand them."

Next was Demeter, "You now can use plants to your advantage in combat. All of you can also use plants to teleport away."

Then Ares went. "All you punks now have better understanding of war and can fight better."

Next was Athena, "Now you all can make really good battle plans and your dyslexia is removed so you can learn better."

Then Apollo, "Now you all have good archery skills and can heal others. I doubt that you would want the poetry gift..."

Artemis next, "You are now much more agile, and alert. And you can talk to any wild animals, including your pets."

Hermes went next, "You all are now stealthier, have good lying skills, and have more speed."

"You now can charmspeak and is able to resist any form of charmspeak, even from me." Aphrodite said.

Hephaestus informed us that we are now good at metal working and are fire users.

Dionysus had nothing to grant us. Not that we wanted anything from him, anyways.

Hades had given us the ability to shadow travel, raise the dead and have control over the dead. We also had a pet skeleton at our command. Oh, and we could kill spartoi too.

Hestia has granted us the ability to fire travel, and to summon food.

We can also summon tons of the gods' sacred animals.

Chaos had blasted us to make us immortal. We thanked to gods for their blessings then left with Chaos.
