Chapter 7

*Olympian Throne Room*

Third Person POV

"What!" Zeus yelled, glaring between Percy and Ananke, as he felt a small amount of his power leave, and Zeus noticed, he felt Hera's level decrease slightly, though she didn't look upset, quite the opposite in fact, because Hera had a smile that was just noticeable. Though before Zeus could ask Hera why she was smiling, he was interrupted by the throne room shaking, before all the thrones shifted down one on each side, before two new thrones appeared in the spots previously occupied by the thrones of Zeus and Hera.

"All hail, Perseus and Zoë , King and Queen of the gods!" Ananke declared, though it was ironic, seeing as Zoë was a Titan, but also Queen of the gods. "Now Perseus!" Ananke yelled, drawing Percy and Zoë out of their mental debat that they had just discovered they could have. "You must make your first decision as king." Ananke said, though when she noticed the hesitation she decided she needed to rush him, "NOW!" the primordial of inevitability yelled.

"Ok OK" Percy yelled back." my first order of business is that Zoë shall be respected just as much as I shall be, and she holds as much say in the council decisions as I do." Percy started, earning a smile from Zoë and Artemis, before Percy then indicated for Zoë to take over.

"And our next order is that, should they accept, we are offering Hades and Hestia their spots on the Olympian council back, as the fifteenth and sixteenth Olympians." Zoë said, smiling at the two children of Rhea

"We accept." Hades and Hestia declared as one. Causing the throne room to shake once again before two temporary thrones rose up at the end of the rows.

"Hephaestus!" Percy called out.

"If you could make them more permanent thrones when you have some free time, that would be great." Zoë said, finishing what her husband to be had started.

After receiving a nod of confirmation, the betrothed seemed to relax slightly in their thrones, before they were knocked out of their relaxation by Hera raising a tentative hand.

"Yes, Hera." Percy said, smiling kindly at her, taking his role as king quiet well.

"I have a request for you and Zoë." Hera said, sounding slightly hesitant about her request.

"Very well." Zoë replied, giving Hera a trying smile. "What can we do for you?"

"Well.." Hera started, before trailing off at a glare from Zeus, which earned Zeus a glare from the new rulers of Olympus.

"Do you wish for a divorce from your husband?" Percy asked, still shooting Zeus a glare.

"Yes." Hera replied, expecting ridicule for being a goddess of marriage, but wanting a divorce.

"Very well, on behalf of the council, we declare the marriage between Hera and Zeus to be null and void. May your next husband be more deserving of your love." Zoë declared.

And with that, the marriage was dissolved, and though Hera felt another slight decrease in her power, being a goddess of marriage but not being married, she didn't care, for she was finally free.

"Well then." Rhea said, finally interrupting everything that had been going on with the council and drawing everyone's attention to the fact the Titans were still present, and the Fates and Ananke had left. "Can we get on with the wedding now?" Rhea asked, growing tired of being on Olympus.

"Very well." Percy replied.

And with that, the wedding commenced. The hunters of Artemis were called to first welcome back their old friend and new co-leader of the hunt. But also to play the parts of the bridesmaids. With Artemis holding the role of maid of honor. And Percy called his friends from the seven, as well as Nico, Grover, Tyson, and the stoll brothers to take the place of his groomsmen, giving Grover the place as his best man. And after a while of explaining to all the guests of the party, which included members of both camps, as well as the amazons, and the residence of Olympus and the newly restored Mount Othrys, courtesy of Percy, as well as Percy's mortal family, consisting of his mother, Step father, and sister Estelle. What was going on and everything that had happened. The wedding began. And Percy grew nervous. Not knowing what to do, considering he was marrying someone who he had never even dated, and said someone had only been alive the day before. But as Percy stood there by the podium, standing with his best man Grover, his worries slowly drifted away, and his sadness over the death of Annabeth faded just slightly, which unknown to him was a gift from Rhea, who was helping him to get over Annabeth's death.
