~Two Years later after the giant war~

<In the throne room in Olympus>

**Third Person**

"I have decided that Perseus Jackson, Son of Poseidon is too powerful to be left alive. After all, an evil force may corrupt him and the world will, therefore, be doomed." The arrogant King of the Gods announced to the Olympian Council including Hestia and Hades. "I am also afraid that he is part of the... Prophecy of Doom." Everyone except for Poseidon gasped in fear that it was true.

The Prophecy the King of the Gods referring to was a very ancient prophecy. Called the Prophecy of Doom, it said that one day, a Hero of Olympus would turn against the gods, resulting in the Destruction of Olympus.

After the Second Titan War, everyone in the council thought that the turned hero would be Luke. But, Luke, Son of Hermes, was the other way around. He betrayed Olympus first, then he saved it, by killing himself while Kronos was possessing him. Luke managed to gain control over Kronos to do so. Everyone except for the Airhead forgave him. Zeus thought that Luke deserved to die, Hermes and a couple of other Olympians broken some of his bones because of that, even if it didn't really affect him.

Then they assumed it was Ethan, Son of Nemesis, but did he really fight for Olympus? No one in the council knew much about him, really.

Speaking of Poseidon, Athena noticed that the God of the Seas looked very emotionless today. His sea green eyes were turned into a light grey. It was strange. His eyes only do that if hurricanes and earthquakes were occurring. And none of them has occurred recently.

Anyways, Zeus continued. "If there is anyone in this throne room who agrees with me, please raise your hands."

The Drama Queen thought no one would agree with him like they usually do but instead, he was surprised to see Ares, Hera, Aphrodite, Demeter, Dionysus, Hermes and very surprisingly Poseidon raised their hands. The gods and goddesses who disagreed are Hestia, Hades, Athena, Artemis, Apollo and Hephaestus.

"Poseidon, why would you raise your hand?" Athena asked, "I mean, no matter how horrible you think Percy Jackson is, he is still your son."

"Because, Athena, I rather have the world safe and sound than have it destroyed." Poseidon answered. Athena had a little feeling that Poseidon was hiding the truth...

"Well," Zeus said, "I see there are more number of gods that agree with me than the number of gods that disagree. So-"

"But you can't." Hestia cut off. "This hero helped save Olympus, not destroy it!"

"But he may destroy Olympus sooner or later. He could betray us. Right Hestia?"

"But by banishing him to Tartarus-" Athena started.

"How did you know I was about to do that?!" Zeus asked with a curiosity about how Athena guessed.

"-the Hero would join him and his forces at some point, making the Prophecy of Doom come true." Athena finished.

There were murmurs of agreement around the throne room.

My daughter is right. The Airhead (Zeus) thought.

"I could kill him instead," Zeus said, proud of himself.

Athena showed a face of disagreement, hating her father's decision, and regretting what she just caused, her favourite hero would die and her favourite daughter would be distressed.

"So, as I was saying, SUMMON HIM TO OLYMPUS!" Zeus thundered.
