The Forbidden Land {A Pertemis Story}

Chapter 4: Zeus' Decision

Third Person POV

Hera was on her throne, stalking her husband and his new lover. Honestly, she would divorce him if she could. There is one boy that caught her attention. One of Percy's nephews. The moment she finds a way to divorce Zeus, the sooner she could be with someone better.

She couldn't divorce Zeus for a few reasons. One, she is the Goddess of mirage, she has to be in a mirage or at least a relationship. Second, Zeus threatened to kill her if she divorced him. Hera doesn't even know why Zeus will want to keep her if he doesn't even love her. Stupid husband and man, Hera thought.

Just then, a black thing appears inside the throne room and Percy and his sister Ally walk out. It almost scares the Hades out of Hera. What are they doing here?

"What are you guys doing here?" Hera asked the sibling. When Ally turned her head and looked at her in the eyes, Hera was taken back. So many emotions. The two clearest emotions are determination and seriousness.

"Can you call a meeting Lady Hera?" Ally asked. A thing Hera likes about this girl, so polite no matter what. She always has a calm facade.

"Why?" Hera asked.

"I have something to ask the council," Ally said calmly but inside she knows it is impossible. Zeus will never accept, but she could hope.

Hera summons the Olympian council, all of them looking confused. Zeus looked frustrated and Hera can only glare knowing why he is frustrated. Stupid Zeus, Hera thoughts.

"What do you want?" Zeus thundered Ally and Percy. Percy hides behind Ally and Artemis fought to hold in her laughter.

"I went to Icywater today and..." Ally started but Zeus cut her off.

"So? Is just your kingdom right? You could take care of it," Zeus said mockingly. Both Ally and Percy glared at him.

Apollo spoke up. "Maybe you should just leave your kingdom and help prepare OUR army. That is just the best thing to do. You won't get hurt in the process."

Ally was fuming, she glared at Apollo before settling her glare at Zeus. Hestia walked toward Ally from the heart and put a calming hand on her shoulder. Ally smiled at her.

"Thanks mom," Tha caught everyone's attention.

"MOM!?" Shouted everyone except for Percy.

"I thought you were a virgin Goddess," Poseidon said.

Hestia just shrugs like nothing happens. "Ever heard of an adoption?"

Poseidon turned red from embarrassment. Ally steps forward again. "I was wondering if I could take a small army to Icywater."

Zeus recovered from his shock and said the words that Ally suspected he would say.

"No," Zeus said firmly. "I will not let you take a small portion of our army for your kingdom."

"But," Ally tried to argue but Zeus cut her off.

"In fact, I think you need to choose," Ally looked scared, like she knew what he would want her to choose. Apollo remains emotionless, but inside, he is freaking out. He doesn't know what to do. For all he knows, he may have ruined their relationship yesterday.

Percy is scared for his sister. He didn't want her to be banished like what happened to him. Artemis looked concerned for her hunter. Hestia looked concerned for her daughter.

"I declare that three days starting now," Zeus started. "No one would be able to go in or out of Olympus to head for Icywater."

He turned to Ally. "So what will you choose."
