Aftermath

The clue

Percy's POV

I woke up in a very familiar room. The same room I saw in my dream except this time, I wasn't bound to the bed. I stood up trying to find any clue as to where I was but my clothes suddenly felt different. I looked down to see I was dressed in an extremely short toga.

"What the hell?" I yelled.

Suddenly I heard a chuckle come from a dark corner in the room. Order came out eyeing me like I was a piece of meat he wanted badly. I felt uncomfortable under his gaze.

"Where are my clothes?" I glared at him.

"I threw them away. Besides this looks better on you. I like you better this because it just makes things easier." He said with a sudden twinkle in his eyes.

"Easier to do what?" I questioned.

"Never mind. You will know when the time comes. For now you will stay here. You aren't allowed out of this room. If you so much as try to escape, well let's just say you won't be going farther than the bed." He said.

"Why are you keeping me here? What room is this? And also I don't remember togas being this short?" I said.

"The first one, you will find out tonight. As for your second question, its just a normal bedroom. The third, I have already answered. Just in case you weren't listening, I like it this way. I have to leave now for some important business. If you need anything, there will be servants to tend to you." Order turned leaving the room.

"Well that went better than expected." I said to no one in particular. I tried to look around to find something to do but the only things in the room was decor. I tried using my powers but figured out he'd found away to keep my powers at a very low level.

Camp half blood

No one's POV

Zeus led the titans and Olympians to the throne room.

"So what did you figure out that we couldn't share to our children?" Athena said clearly unhappy about Kronos's assumption and the fact he figured it out before her.

"Shut up! This is all your faults. I warned you about this but you wouldn't listen. You keep letting your pride cloud your judgement. Maybe if you stopped thinking you can figure things out before anyone or that you are the smartest being then you would have figured this out already."

"What do you mean this is our fault? You only warned us about …oh" Apollo realized what Kronos was implying.

"But that's not possible. Our children have no reason to betray us." Zeus said.

"Zeus is right. Maybe Percy made a mistake." Artemis suggested.

"If you really think so then why don't you ask your cabin counsellors to do a head count." Atlas said.

"We will but first what does the poem mean? How did you get that from a love song?" Athena said. She realized Kronos was right. You gain wisdom everyday from those around you. True wisdom meant accepting you don't know everything and attempting to learn from others. Doing things with patience and not being prideful.

"The sea shells were drawn on three trees which meant the third word in every line. Listen to the song again and you'll hear it." Kronos brought out the sea shell and said hope again. The song began to play.

"It says there is a spy at two camps a lot. He is okay." Kronos said.

"Zeus we have to find out who took Percy. We have to get him back. What if he gets order an order decides to kill him? Besides, we can't defeat order if he keeps getting information from his spies." Poseidon said desperate to find his only half blood child.

"If that's not proof enough then I have another proof." Iapetus said.

"And that would be?" Hera raised an eyebrow.

Iapetus walked towards a strategically hidden part of the throne room. It was partially hidden in the shadow of Ares' throne.

"I'm the titan of the underworld so I have a stronger connection to shadows than hades does. He probably didn't sense it." He brought out a charm necklace. It had an infinity sign on it. It was obviously built for spying. By the looks of it you could see all around the through the throne room from it and also hear what was being said.

"Now I wonder how this got here." Iapetus turned to show the gods what he found.

"Treason. Who dares?" Zeus bellowed.

"That's what we've been asking you to find out. And I suggest you start with the Ares cabin. No one except an Ares child can seat around his throne."

"I couldn't agree less." Ares said pure fury in his eyes. He wanted to know which of his kids would dare to take his baby cousin.
