Ouranos/Nero Pov.

As everyone finally finds out that I was actually Ouranos who was now a descendant of Poseidon or let's just say I'm now his grandson, and then today I return back to the camp I don't know why I came back all I know is that I was starting a bit lonely when the time I leave. Of course everyone was a bit uncomfortable a bit knowing who really I was so I decided not to bothers it anymore and when I return back of course every god flashes quickly especially my three so called siblings and I saw one of my children Rhea she was also here, instead of getting mad on me which is I'm not surprised with yet what I saw was actually a face of sad-worried look it's there feeling so sorry on me. What for?

Then all of a sudden my daughter Rhea walk slowly towards on me and gave me a hug and then she weep in tears bursting all crying on me I was never a father figure to my children only to Percy, then this time my body move on it's own and I hug her it made me surprised why then tears begun to fall in my eyes slowly then it felt something hurts in my chest not physically in or out but I just felt it I don't know why.

Then all of a sudden my granddaughter the goddess of hearth move forwards and says. "Lord Ouranos..."

"Please call me Nero now and stop with the formalities I'm no longer a king or emperor anymore." I said calmly to her

"Okay Nero all of us wants to talk on you in the Amphitheatre, and we don't mean no harm or want the power inside you just a simple talk." Hestia said then I looked every eye on them to know if they were lying and luckily they mean it.

So we all go in the Amphitheatre and have a talk along with my daughter Rhea, Elpis, Eros and Pontos. Also includes the demigod children and every nymphs, satyrs and centaurs who are also interested to know who I am.

As everyone is still on silence I decided to break it "So what do you want to know about first?" I asked

"Nero what's the relation between you and my son Percy?" Poseidon asked

"Me and Percy are on good term I acted as a guardian spirit yet I don't know why I'm interested on him, but there's only one thing I know he's the reason why he's the key for me to change and my 'Primordial Heart'." I answer and some of them confuse a bit and some understood little by little 

"And the time in his death I decided to honor him so I placed his soul in my domain and now live among the stars now." I continued and the were amazed that the 'Great Hero of Olympus' who save them twice is on the stars.

"So it was really him isn't it that new constellation that me and my hunters saw on Alaska was actually him all along right?" Artemis asked 

"The 'Astria Nero' the demigod hero who was the son of the seas and has a strong bond of the heaven. That is about you and Percy isn't the constellation of the first heaven." Artemis continues

"Indeed 'Astria Nero' or the 'Water Stars' is my one the only and my first constellation that I put in my domain. The image of the man soaked in the water holding a star is him all along." I response and everyone is amazed that Percy is now a constellation of Ouranos

Then my grandson the god of seas Poseidon is about to spoke.

"Why did you lie to us then?" Poseidon asked and everyone looked on him

"Why did you lie he cursed himself not to be in the underworld? Why you never tell on me I am his father and... It's kind a awkward now that you're now my grandson yet why?" Poseidon asked and everyone is also understood his question.

"Before I answered... I will tell you why he died in sickness. He became sick because he begged from me to resurrect Castor the son of Dionysus and the twin brother of Pollux." I response that made them surprised and it seems Castor, Pollux, Jason, Thalia and Chiron already knew about.

"He did it for Pollux and Castor because he grew a brotherhood bond on the two of them and when the time he disappeared and never show himself in the camp, I told him the truth and Pollux situation and he feel guilty as well on leaving he's newfound brother like how he left her beloved daughter Viola." I continued and made everyone feel sad about Percy when they betrayed him.

"What's this has to do about resurrecting my son Castor?" Dionysus asked and made also everyone wonders as well.

"In resurrecting someone back from the dead has many ways like necromancy and Castor's case is different, I used a forbidden way I need to use someone's life to bring him back and you can guess who's life I choose." I answered and they we're shocked to know who it was.

"You mean to say it was Percy's life you used!!!" Athena said and they were horrified to know this

"Why?! Why did you do it?!" Apollo asked

"Before you could judge me I told it to Percy first about my way on resurrecting and I gave him a time to think about it until he finally fully decides and know what he says, He doesn't care about his life anymore he's always suffering he never once felt a true acceptance in the world. Of course I will not do it but when the time I looked on to his eyes I saw a serious gazed who already meant his words, it was not the eyes of liar he really do mean his words so it made me no choice but to do it I used majority of his life to resurrect Castor and he lived with a short amount of time left in the world which is why he died on sickness." I response and they are all weep in tears

"Know will you tell us why he's in the stars know?" Hermes said

"As the reason why I said those word that he's not in the underworld is because Percy suggest it also I never did lie about when I say those words. He really hated this world he no longer take it anymore living as a tool for someone's success, (Heh) He never evenly felt that this world really do accept or love him seems understandable why he say those words." I said and made them fully guilty about on what they did to Percy."

"Before on that time when he's about to die I was planning on turning him immortal yet I realized that would only made him suffer so I decided not to, but when the time he said those word that he said those words it made me touched that's why I decided to put him in my domain." I finally fully answered

"It seems he was happy we're he belongs now isn't?" Poseidon asked with tears falling down in his eyes and I nodded

"I never evenly say how much I was so sorry on him... It seems I was already too late now and thank you for being always there for my son Percy..." Poseidon said with a smile faced as he was now glad for Percy's happiness

"Brother sky really why did you just show up just now? Where have you been in this immortal times." Eros asked and I never response he seems understood why I never say a word on him

"Look if this is about using my power on I don't really mean it and believe I don't want it as well, all this time I still can't forgave myself on what I did to you when Gaea tricked me." Eros said 

"I already forgave you long time ago and if it wasn't for that I wouldn't be free fro her chained anymore, Though I still can't forgave myself that I did those things from my children so let's just say we're now fair and square." I said and Eros was touched on my word he then run towards me and gave me a hug

"Finally I can let go of that regret on what I did to you." Eros said and I smiled as well
