A/N: I'm trying something new, so this book will be broken up into 'Arcs', like two chapters will focus on one of the kids, and then two others will focus on another character. Everything will come together in the end, obviously.

Two months later a meeting was called by Artemis.
When Artemis calls for meetings that means something really bad has happened.
A group of people sat around a crystal table in the Hidden Realm with a map of the realms in the middle.
The council.
"So, Aphrodite has reappeared?" Carter asked.
"Yes. She seems to be moving faster than before. Persephone I believe that your kids should be here." Artemis told the goddess and the head of the table.
"Ethan is too busy with school, Zoë is missing, and I can't pull Phoenix out of her mission. She is too far into enemy territory." Percy said, talking with her hands.
"I never expected to see the day where Percy Jackson calls Camp Half-Blood 'enemy territory'." Thalia laughed.
"Thalia focus!" Artemis scolded.
"Wait Zoë's missing?" Estelle asked, surprised.
"She was captured on a mission a few days ago." Loki told his sister-in-law.
"Ace went missing a few weeks ago... he usually calls but, we can't get a hold of him." Freya said, trying to fit the puzzle pieces together.
"Could it be the Dove?" Magnus asked the council.
"No... she would publicize it. She hasn't said anything in the last few meetings on Olympus." Hecate responded.
"Well she didn't publicize what she did to Pi-" Thanatos was cut off.
"Thanatos let's not talk of what the Dove did to her own daughter." Artemis was disgusted.
"Well Starfish. How is the progress on the antidote going? Where's Akylys anyway?" Loki asked, placing a hand over his wife's.
"She is currently with the Dove. We have substantial progress but... we've hit a wall." Percy replied looking downward.
"I could send Connor to help, he's quite good with medicinal methods." Freya tried cheering her up.
"That is generous Freya but we are trying to reverse the spell of all spells, the poison of all poisons. I think it would be better if Connor stayed with you and Stella." The goddess of fate responded looking up.
The council continued to talk for another hour and a half. Once the meeting was adjourned most of the members left to go back to their homes. Percy and Loki stayed in the room for a little longer.
"Starfish... it's going to be okay." Loki told his wife as he pulled a rogue stand of hair behind her ear and cupped her face with his hand. Percy leaned into the touch and kissed the palm of Loki's hand.
"I know Trickster it's just... What if something goes wrong? What if something happens with the kids?" She looked at him with her green eyes. Loki just smirked.
"Nothing will go wrong. They're your kids. They'll be fine."
"Hey, they're your kids too." She giggled.
"The children of fate, wisdom, and mischief. It's a good combination... They'll be fine."
