I'm trying to get a bit of diversity with who's point of view the chapters are in so I will add new people's POVs every once and a while. By the way guys please vote and comment or even just read the rest of the story because it means a lot to me. I'm not going to force you guys too obviously but it gives me motivation to write faster (and makes me happy.)

Aphrodite POV

The Olympian council sat watching the three immortals before them.

One was Percy Jackson who I had seen recently.

Another was Erebos who I have never spoken too.

And finally there was bitch, oh wait sorry I meant Nyx, who I hadn't seen in centuries and I was quite happy not seeing her too.

"Nyx can you get rid of your wings, the janitors have enough vacuuming to do without you shedding feathers about the place," I said to the Primordial. *If ANYBODY gets this reference you are my favourite person* yes I make a lot of references sorry.

Nyx scowled and snapped back at me, "I don't shed." But she made her wings disappear to stop any arguments.

I noticed Percy studying Erebos who had his eyes trained on Zeus. He looked kinda shifty.

"Hey Percy wanna come sit, " I shuffled over on my throne a bit and it became a 'love seat' which is basically a skinny couch.

Ares snapped his head round from looking at the three to staring at me intensely, "Jackson, babe? Him, really?"

I shrugged and replied, "His legs must be sore from standing."

"The punk is like the only mortal that can walk through Tartarus, I think he can stand for a minute."

"Was that a compliment, Ares?" Percy piped in getting a growl back from the war god.

"My daughter went through Tartarus too actually, Ares," Athena announced.

I inwardly groaned at Percy's slight wince.

"Thanks, Athena, way to bring up Annabitch, " I said sarcastically.

Athena looked confused before asking, "Annabitch?"

"Yeah, that's what the old percabeth shippers call your daughter now. It's got a nice ring to it doesn't it?"

The entire council looked at me as if I was speaking alien.

"Wait I used to hear that word 'Percabeth' from cabin 10?" Percy mumbled.

"My kids were once extreme shippers," I said with nostalgia.

Percy just shook his head in confusion.

Zeus spoke up clearly tired of the conversation, "I believe we actually had matters to deal with yes?"

The council nodded in agreement.

"So Nyx and Erebos, Perseus here says that you wish to serve the gods, " The king of the gods continued.

Percy cut in before Zeus could keep speaking, much to his annoyance.

"That's not quite what I said, I said that they wanted to be your allies."

"Yes, yes the same thing."

"Not really."

"I will smite you boy if I get any more disrespect!" Zeus shouted in frustration.

"I'm immortal now drama queen," Percy replied.

"Well, clearly a rare mistake on my behalf, "

"Rare?" Percy snorted.

"Perseus!" Zeus said standing and lifting his master bolt, "Do you wish to go to Tartarus."

"Been there done that."

I laughed a little too loudly getting myself a glare from Zeus. I winked back at him and politely asked him to sit down, he nodded and fumbled back to his seat. I have that effect on men I guess.

One we had all sat down I noticed that Erebos' eyes were still watching Zeus closely but upon looking closer I could clearly see that it wasn't Zeus he was watching it was his master bolt.

Zeus started putting his master bolt back in its holster which was on his throne, but before I could draw attention to the primordial god's suspicious behaviour, the said primordial disappeared in shadows leaving Nyx looking very stunned.

Percy, who must have also seen what Erebos was watching before he weirdly disappeared, started to walk quickly towards Zeus' throne. "Zeus watch your bolt, " he called out hastily.

Zeus didn't understand and Erebos appeared again only beside the god's throne. The primordial of darkness reached out quickly to snatch the master bolt from Zeus' grip.

He would have gotten it easily too if Percy didn't throw himself on to him knocking him to the ground.

"What the Hades are you doing?" Percy screamed before Erebos disappeared from under Percy.

The gods and one primordial goddess all slowly turned to look at me.

I felt a cold hand grip my shoulder from behind my throne.

"I'm taking my place as king. You'll get your princess back if you make the trade. Her for the master bolt." Erebos' deep voice said from behind me, still holding on to my shoulder.

I heard Percy yelling something before I was enveloped in darkness.

I had just been shadow travelled out of Olympus.

Nyx POV

As soon as Aphrodite was taken all hell broke loose.

A few gods wanted Zeus to hand over his master bolt, namely Ares who said: "Just give him your stupid bolt Zeus, we can take him without it comes on."

The rest were making sure Zeus wasn't going to hand his bolt over, one being Athena who told him he was "an imbecile if he even considered it."

After the arguing quieted down slightly, the gods decided it would be wise just to send someone to try and get her back without trading anything.

Ares scowled, "I volunteer Jackson to go this is his fault."

Perseus' face scrunched up angrily, "How was that my fault, I saved the master bolt, and may I add that was the second time I saved it. Besides have I not been on enough quests as a demigod, I don't even have enough fingers to count how many I've been on."

Some of the council nodded, agreeing, but many still looked angry.

Ares started to smile, "Alright then, we can get the demigods to consult the oracle and send a couple of them. They are expendable anyway cause-"

Percy cut him off, "NO. No. No... I'll do it ok."

Ares smirked triumphantly.

"Low blow, " I said quietly, "Using his fatal flaw, that sucks."

It was a bad move for me to say anything.

The council turned their anger on me.

"Someone grab her, " Dionysus slurred slightly, "she's an accomplice."

The gods started advancing toward me slowly.

Percy turned to me with a mix of anger and hurt, "Did you know he would do this?"

It hurt that he thought I would betray him but I could understand why he would think that.

"No, " I told him, "remember that oath I made to you."

He nodded and told me quietly that I should go and that he could deal with the Olympians.

I shadow travelled back to my mansion.
