The Throne Room fell into a state of complete uproar, Gods were arguing and shouting, screaming and threatening.

God's were flaring their powers, trying to gain dominance over the conversation as they shouted like panicked children.

"WE MUST HUNT HIM DOWN!"

"WHO IS HE?!"

"NO, WE MUST TALK TO HIM!"

"THERE'S ANOTHER ORIGINAL OLYMPIAN?!"

"WHAT DID HE DO THAT MADE YOU PUNISH HIM?!"

"WE MUST KILL HIM! HE SIDES WITH KRONOS!"

"ENOUGH!!!" Hestia screamed, the Hearth exploding into a fit of wild rage.

The Gods immediately quieted, some had never seen Hestia become so angry. Hestia's hair had become red flames, her brown eyes glowing with hidden power.

The Hearth slowly died down, Hestia regaining her regular innocent form. Hestia walked to the middle of the Throne Room.

"Act civil, as gods should be," She said coldly. Hestia growled once at Zeus then walked back over to the Hearth where she tended to it.

"I've never seen Aunt Hestia like that," Hermes stated, many Gods agreed with him.

Demeter shook her head sadly, "Perseus is a touchy subject with Hades and Hestia, they did not agree with our decision to handle our brother."

Artemis nodded, "So this Perseus, is your brother." Hera nodded sadly, "Yes. . . he is. We made a 

great mistake millennia ago, sentencing our own blood to the worst punishment to offer."

Athena gained a thinking expression, "Tartarus. You sent your brother to Tartarus."

The name Tartarus made all the Gods shiver, the sheer thought of the Pit made the Gods uneasy. Zeus nodded, "Yes, an eternity in Tartarus."

The Gods jaws dropped, to be in Tartarus for so long was horrifying. "We realized our mistake during the First Giant War, as you can guess we tried to bring Perseus back. Nothing worked," Poseidon stated.

Ares stood, "If he was so important to be brought back to fight the Giants, how strong can one God be?"

Dionysus shook his head, "Stronger than you may think brother, Perseus," his voice cracked, "Is strong enough to escape Tartarus, that is a feat only Titans can do."

Zeus nodded, "Yes, it is troubling as to how he could have returned, from Tartarus no less." All the Gods nod their heads, agreeing with the God of the Sky.

Hestia spoke up for the first time since her spew of rage, her eyes glinted with fire, "He returned because he is the strongest God to walk the plain. And by the looks of it, stronger than Titans now."

The Gods looked horrified. "How is he so powerful? Even Gods should not be able to contain so much power," Athena stated.

Artemis spoke up, "It is clear he made a reputation in the Pit, the Manticore seemed to recognize Perseus. Or MovKar as the Manticore said."

"The Vile Violet," Apollo translated. "The Manticore works for Kronos, Perseus didn't seem to be so pleased with the Manticore's reaction," Artemis said.

Zeus, Poseidon, Demeter, and Hera all had looks of fear on there faces, "Perseus would side with Kronos over us, any day."

"Why in the Primordials name would he do that!" Hermes shouted, he had already lost his son to Kronos, maybe this Perseus could get him back.
