The Day The Color Blue Was Ruined

Reborn

*Nico*

I woke up in a brightly lit room. I heard voices all around me. 

"It seems as if he wiped his memory with the River of Lethe.'

"But why would he do that."

A strangely familar voice spoke up, as if  he was choked up with tears. "He felt as if he was an outcast. Its my fault. I should have reached out to him."

A girl spoke. "Jason, its not your fault. I swear."

Jason... That name was nice. Now why was he crying?

*Unknown*

I sat in the thron room of Olympus. I was hidden behind a statue. Noone could see me, thankfully. I was here because i heard there was a meeting. I had to be here. Everyone but Hermes was here. I checked my watch. 12:05. The meeting was supposed to start at noon. 

A bright light flashed, and Hermes entered, looking particulary angry. He stormed to his seat. He muttered, "sorry I'm late." 

Zeus stood. "Welcome. We have called a meeting today to discuss some disagreements going on. We are trying to prevent another war. It seem that Hermes is angry at Hera, Athena, Poseidon, Hades and I for killing his prat of a son." Hermes jumped up. "EXCUS-" "Silence. As i was saying, he seemed to disagree with us voting without him. So we shall take a vote now, with all gods and godesses present. All in favor of bringing Luke back to life?" 

Hermes, Apollo, Artemis, Hera, Hephaestus, and Demeter rose their hands. 

"Hera?" Yelled Zeus. She shrugged her shoulders. 

Poseidon said "Well thats 7-6, majority wins. He stays dead. 

"Wait" Yelled . "Hades isn't on the court. His vote is irrelevant. 

Hades flashed him a death glare. 

Zeus spoke up. "We have:

Poseidon

Athena

Ares

Artemis

Dionysus

and I who want to keep him dead. 

And 

Hermes

Apollo

Aphrodite

Hera

Hephaestus

and Demeter who want to save him."

The gods and goddeses began to argue. They yelled at each other, insulting their pride. Suddenly Zeus stood, power radiating off of him. He spoke in a booming voice. "SILENCE. WE BEGAN THIS QUARREL OVER AN IGNORANT DEMIGOD, WHO DIED A HERO BUT CHOSE TO BE REBORN AS A DISHONOR TO HIS GODLY LINEAGE. HIS DEATH BECAME OF HIS OWN ACTIONS. I WILL NOT STAND THIS. PICK YOUR POISON, I DECLARE WAR!!!! WHO'S WITH ME???" 

Several gods and godesses cheered, pumping their fists. 

"NOW IF YOU ARENT ON MY SIDE, GET OUT OF MY THRONE ROOM"

The people who disagreed angrily left the room. Zeus, Poseidon, Athena, Ares, Artemis, and Dionysus were left, along with Hades. 

Zeus said calmly "They will suffer, Insult my pride, insult their life" The gods and godesses looked at him solemnly. 

Finally Artemis spoke. "Lord, what will you have me do" He smiled. "You, dear Artemis, are to destroy your brother" Athena spoke up. "That is uncivilized, why put her against her own brother? That is horrible!" 

Zeus glared at her. "Leave then, join them" 

She stomped out of the room. 

He waited til she was gone, then spoke. "I have my battle plan. Each god or goddess will have a match. Since Athena- dishonorable daughter she is- left, she left us in a perfect spot. We will not kill, just dishonor their pride, until they surrender. Hermes will have no match, we will let him suffer in the fact that he is to blame for this war. Now here are the matches:

Zeus- Hera. I will make her suffer for betraying me. 

Poseidon- Athena. Dishonor her name, for betraying this room. 

Artemis- Apollo. Show him who the better sibling is. 

Ares- Hesphaestus. Show him that ownership is better than craftmenship. 

Dionysus- Aphrodite. Make sure to ruin her make-up. Capture the moment. 

Hades- Demeter. Make your mother in law suffer.

And finally Hermes- His own guilt. 

Do you guys understand the plan?"

Everyone nodded. He smiled. "Well now, we call our allies"

Ares spoke outloud, "What allies?"

Zeus said "We shall call our demigod children. We will tell them anything we can to get them too fight. But don't lie, otherwise we will seem guilty and untrustworthy, Got it? Got it."

I was paralyzed with fear. I had to choose a side. It was between family- or love. Crap.
