Troubled Olympians

The funeral

The music played as the Olympians bowed their heads in respect. A single tear streamed down Poseidons face as Hades came in view, carrying a small casket. If Hades was annoyed, he didn't show it. Makaria stood at the front, wearing a loose black dress. Hades placed the casket in front of Makaria, and stood beside Zeus, who was fuming. The music stopped, and the Olympians took their seats. Makaria cleared her throat, and began to speak.

"Today, we are here to mourn the death of...fishy the fish." She began, as Poseidon began to sob. "Fishy had a...tragic death, by the hands of someone he could never beat." She said, as Athena threw a glare at Ares. "And now, Poseidon shall speak more about Fishy"

Poseidon came forward, as Makaria took a seat beside her father.

"Fishy...was a brave fish, probably the bravest in the sea..." Poseidon wiped a tear. "I remember the day he was born...the sea will never be the same without him. I love you Fishy, I trust Hades will send you to Elysium." Poseidon said, as Hades spoke up.

"A fish in Elysium?" Hades asked.

"HE DESERVES IT ALL RIGHT!" Poseidon snapped angrily.

"But fishes go to-" Zeus cut Hades off with a glare that said Just this once, so he'll shut up. Hades sighed and sat back down.

"As I was saying, I also trust Makaria will collect him as a blessed soul." Poseidon said, Makaria sighed, but didn't argue.

"He loves this fish more than he loves Percy." Zeus muttered under his breath to Hades.

"I'm pretty sure Poseidon will absolutely lose it when Percy passes on." Hades muttered "Not like it matters, Percy's probably going to Elysium anyways."

"I can't believe we have to put up with Poseidon for eternity" Zeus grumbled.

"I can't believe we've handled him for more than a century." Hades retorted.

"I can't believe I haven't thrown him into Tartarus yet." Zeus muttered.

"Wow, that must take a lot of self-control" Hades muttered back.

Makaria tapped Hades on the shoulder, ending his conversation with Zeus.

"Yes, Makaria?" He asked.

"Um...I was wondering...if after this, you could uh...buy me some ice cream...?"
