Previously:

"You have no right to call Zeus your uncle!" Poseidon, strangely with light grey eyes, suddenly shouted, jumping into the conversation.

I had no idea what he was talking about. Now I really think I was dreaming. Or had my dad been drinking too much with Dionysus?

"What do you mean?!" Zeus and I asked at the same time.

"What I mean, is that Percy Jackson is not my son," Poseidon explained. "He is none other than The Son Of Chaos. That is why he is really powerful."

**Percy**

I checked my watch. Date: 1st April. Time: 5:20pm. Oh, now I see what was going on. They got me good there.

"Let me guess guys," I told the Olympians, spreading my hands and smiling. "Happy April Fool's Day!!!"

The Olympians stayed silent and looked at me, deadly serious.

My smile faded. My eyes stung. Tears started streaming down my face.

"Is it true?" I managed to ask.

"Sorry, Percy," Poseidon said. With no emotion at all.

"How?" Athena asked her nemesis. "We all saw you claiming Percy!"

"All you need is kindness and Hecate can do a favour or two for you," Poseidon answered blankly.

"What about my powers?" I asked.

"All I needed to do was to feed you a potion Hecate made to give you powers of what my demigod children should have until you found out."

"My liking of blue?"

"Sally likes blue. You inherited her liking of colour."

Zeus woke up from his 'Surprised Nap' and asked," Can we kill him now?"

I looked at Poseidon, begging him to stop the execution. But he nodded.

"Please!" Apollo said. "Spare Percy! He is the only demigod or demi-primordial I call a brother." Either I saw it or imagined it, I could swear I saw a bright tear on his cheek.

"Same here, Dad, please!" Artemis pleaded. "He helped me hold the sky! He is nothing like other men! He is worthy!"

"Yeah!" Hephaestus agreed. "As long as Leo likes him and as long as he is worthy, I like him too."

"Yeah!" Hestia shouted. (Hestia and Hades were there) "If he were to betray Olympus, why would he request you to give me and Hades a place in the Olympian council, denying immortality?!"

There were more murmurs of agreement.

"Agreed," Hades said and nodded.

"Yup," Athena said. "I like this kid. He pulled 3 all-nighters studying for his maths exam so that he could be in the same class as Annabeth!"

A few Olympians started giggling.

The giggling stopped when Zeus cleared his throat.

"My word is law. And my law cannot be broken." Zeus said, disappointing the few. He grabbed his Master Bolt and aimed it at me. But before the bolt struck me, a chaotic grey mist started to form around me. Then, it teleported me somewhere.

And the world turned black.
