Aftermath

Olympian throne room

No one's POV

The immortals had gathered in the throne room waiting for the rescue crew to come back. Zeus and Hades sat beside Poseidon on mini thrones, comforting the sea god and assuring him that Percy would return or at least they tried to.

Ever since the incident with order, Zeus and Hades became  like personal bodyguards to Poseidon. They even had Hecate cast a spell with Chaos around Atlantis. Now no one could get there without Poseidon's permission. They also had Chaos cast a lot of spells with the both minor and major gods.

Chaos helped Morpheus cast a spell that would block order from getting into Poseidon's dreams. Chaos also helped Dionysus cast a spell that would cause Order from reaching out to Poseidon's  mind.

Poseidon tried to argue saying it was unnecessary but after what happened in the throne room, they didn't listen to him anymore.

   The symbol on his neck had faded. Of course with Chaos's help.

Flashback in Athena's POV

"Poseidon, what's that on your neck? Why didn't you tell us? You should know the kind of person Order is. He will never give up anything he takes." Hades said feeling desperate to stop Poseidon from doing anything foolish. Now we know where Percy gets it from.
"And did you even think about us or Percy. What would he say? He would think it was his fault. Can't you see that this was part of Order's plan. If he takes you and releases Percy, Percy would feel it was his fault and then would try to get you out and that way you would both be in Order's hands."Zeus yelled. Unrestrained fury blazing in his eyes like a wild fire that would burn whatever it touched to ashes.

Poseidon whimpered a little and moved back, scared of seeing what Zeus would do next in his anger.

Zeus calmed down and turned to look at him.

"Look, I'm sorry I yelled at you, okay. Hades and I are trying so much to keep you safe but if you just go around doing things like this, it will just make this a whole lot harder for us. We already lost Percy. We can't lose you too."
