Percy pov

I'm not sure how long I was out for all I knew was that apparently Zeus was angry that I killed Heracles, it might defense it was his own fault for trying to force calypso into something she didn't want to do, but something told me if I told Zeus that I would just get fried even faster. Furthermore I was olympus's number one enemy and the entire Greek and Roman world were out for my blood thanks to Lord thunder pants, I spent a few days with Calypso and Leo and we were all trying to figure out an idea for what to do next.
Percy: we can't hide here forever, sooner or later the gods are going to show up looking for me here
Calypso: well we can't exactly leave, if they find out I'm gone they're going to find out you're the reason I'm out
Leo: we can always hide with the Romans, you said it yourself Percy, they're still on your side
Percy: (shakes his head) if we go to them every God that's in camp Jupiter will know where we are and warn the Olympians, I just wish there was something we could do to get them off our scent
Leo: scent, that's it!
Leo's shout startled both me and calypso, he started rambling about something he'd been working on for a few months, something that could potentially erase a demigods scent permanently.
Percy: has been tested?
Leo: not yet, but with a few modifications I might just be able to do it, question is where we go from there
Percy: I thought that would be obvious, we're going to gather an army and take down Zeus
Calypso and Leo look startled and backed up slowly
Calypso: percy, Zeus is the most powerful Olympian there is, if he wanted to he could eradicate all of us without breaking a sweat, besides why would you want to go to war with him
I stood up
Percy: Zeus is powerful that is true, but he's also a corrupt leader that makes everyone fear him, he makes up any rule that he wants and automatically breaks it while punishing others for it, he doesn't deserve to be king so I'm going to take him down.
Leo: I know I'm normally not that smart, but what about after, who will rule Olympus you?
Percy: no, I'll let the gods decide that, they can choose out of the remaining of them who will be the king or queen
I stood tall with my new sword in hand
Percy: I don't know how things are going to go from here and I have a feeling I'm going to need a lot of help, I'm not going to ask you to join because I don't want my friends being hurt
that got me a sharp slap to the face by both Leo and calypso
Leo: dude if I didn't help you I would be kicking myself in the butt if anything happened to you, your damn good fighter as well as a strategist, I'd follow you to Tartarus and back
Calypso: as would I
Hearing them say that made me smile, I held my sword out to them with the blade towards the ground
Percy: then let's gather an army, qnd makes the world a better place for demigods, nature spirits, and even the nice monsters
Leo and Calypso each put a hand on the sword
Leo and calypso: agreed
We all smiled as we exited the cave, once we got out I saw a goddess I was not expecting to see so I immediately had my sword out
Percy: come to take me in?
-I think that's a good place to leave off, let's see if you guys can figure out which goddess he's talking to, she has been mentioned quite a bit by you guys, stay fiery my friends-
