chaos
Zeus's POV
Poseidon seems to know something pertaining the incident in his room. Was he scared of telling? He wore something he usually doesn't wear. A blue Turtle neck top with blue jeans trousers. Usually he would wear beach themed clothes.
Morpheus came into the throne room with conflicted emotions. I wonder why he called this meeting. He is usually in his domain. Could he have seen something? If he did then maybe we could find out what Poseidon is hiding or even better, Percy's whereabouts.
"My Lords there is something you should know but first we need the titans here." I sent a small vibration to titans and they flashed in the next second.
"What is it that you want? I have to find my sea Prince soon so if it isn't important then let me go back to my research." Kronos was clearly annoyed. He hadn't been in camp much since the incident happened. He blames the demigods for it.
"Calm down Kronos. If you listen then you may get to know where Percy is." A very bold voice said.
We looked in the direction it came and saw the creator of the universe with a sad and worried expression. Or at least from description in books that is what she would look like. She hasn't been seen for a very long time so you can imagine the look on our faces when we saw her. She wore a long white toga with magnificent embroidery and a circlet on her head. But we still had our doubts. During a time like this we couldn't trust anyone. And besides we didn't even know if it was really her.
"My lady" Kronos said. Then he and the other Titans bowed their heads. Although unsure, we followed their lead.
"How many times do I have to remind you?You know by now that you shouldn't bow to me. You are like a son to me or do you no longer see me as your mother."
"Of course I do but rules are rules. I have to show you respect. What other way do I do that?" Kronos questioned giving a small smile. It surprised a lot of us. Ever since Percy disappeared, he would only glare, sulk or have a blank face. But what was even more surprising was that he and the creator behaved like they had known each other all their lives which they probably had.
"You could do that by obeying me for a change. Now stand up before I order Morpheus to not give you any details on Percy's whereabouts.
I looked around and realized we were still kneeling. Kronos jumped to his feet looking like a frightened kitten. I looked over at Poseidon and realized he was having conflicting feelings. I wonder why.
"Before Morpheus says anything, I think Poseidon has something to say." Chaos said.
At that moment Poseidon realized all eyes were trained on him.
"Um nothing at all. I have nothing to say." He looked visibly shaken.
Chaos suddenly looked enraged.
"Poseidon you should know he was lying to you. If you don't tell them then I will. If you care even a little bit about Percy then don't do this." Chaos yelled at Poseidon.
"I care a lot and that's why I'm doing this. It's the only way to get him back. And I'm not going to let anyone stop me." Poseidon yelled back. Unshed tears gathering around his eyes.
"OK. Hold on minute. What are you two talking about?" I said. Everyone else looked as confused as me.
"Go on Poseidon. Tell them or I will." Chaos said.
"No I won't." Poseidon glared at her.
"Fine. Then I guess you leave me no choice." She threw a red beam at Poseidon. It didn't do anything to him. He looked fine but what could be so serious that it would lead to violence and why would she throw a harmless beam of light at him. After what Gaea did, I learned that the more you look the less you see.
"If you want to know what Poseidon so desperately wants to hide then I would show you but first, I need you to hold him down." Poseidon seemed to be concentrating and looked frustrated.
"It won't work because I have neutralized your powers." Ares and Hephaestus lunged for him and held him down before he could get away.
"What are you doing? Let him go." I shouted as Poseidon looked at me with pleading eyes.
Chaos looked back at us with anger clear in her eyes.
"I won't hurt him instead I'm trying to help him." Hades and I backed down but we kept an eye on her.
"Didn't you wonder why he suddenly decided to wear a turtle neck top." She said as she got closer to Poseidon.
His eyes widened and he began to struggle more. He eyes looked for every possible way to escape but chaos had made sure that there was no way out. Even going as far as holding him down with chains made from chaotic silver. A metal made from her essence.
Chaos got to his neck and he stilled.
"This is for your own good and you will understand why soon enough." She flashed out the turtle neck at the same time flashing a regular tee shirt on him.
On his neck was a mark and not just any mark, it was the mark of order.
"What's going on?" I demanded from chaos.
"Poseidon here was going to trade himself for Percy. Of course order gave a choice but that was because he knew Poseidon would do anything for Percy. But he isn't going to give Percy back. As a matter of fact he has plans for Percy." Chaos said.
"Is this true Poseidon?" I asked.
Poseidon avoided our gaze and looked to the ground.
"I just wanted him back. I miss him so much and I don't know what kind of torture he is going through." He said.
"I think its time Morpheus relates his message."
Morpheus stood up from his mini throne and bowed. He began to tell us of his encounter with Percy.
***time skip Bob says hello***
No one's POV
Kronos's eyes blazes with fire. He looked ready to kill anyone who stopped him from killing order painfully and slowly.
"My poor son." Poseidon whispered. He broke down again.
"For now he is fine but Kronos has to get him out of there and fast. If order manages to get Percy married to him then there will be nothing we can do about it." Chaos said.
"Why does it have to be Kronos?" Hermes asked.
"Well, there are two reasons for that. The first is the fact that Percy is fighting primordial hood. As you all know, order has turned Percy into a full immortal and being constantly around order should make him a primordial but he hates order so much that his body is rejecting it. Besides it would better for both he and Kronos if he was to be a titan. And secondly, Kronos can stop time enough to get to Percy's room. But do not try to use any sort of power near or inside the room. This would alert order. You leave tomorrow." Chaos ordered flashing back to her palace.
Back at order's palace
Order sat on his throne with a smug smile on his lips. His monsters and servants all stood in front of him. He loved his creations. They did everything he asked and were competent unlike those other useless monsters. And the event that made his day would be announced soon.
The monsters and servants were all chattering between themselves. Wondering what was happening. Although it was evident that some knew what was happening.
"Silence." Order yelled and the whole crowd did as ordered. No one daring to even cough and some to even breath **cough James and Paul cough**
"I am sure you are all wondering why I called for this meeting. That is quite simple. I have called this meeting to announce my engagement to the beautiful creature alive. A person of unmatched skills both in beauty and swordsmanship. The great Percy Jackson." On cue two servants brought Percy out while the monsters cheered for order's victory. He looked even more beautiful in the toga they dressed him in.
Order took his hand and brought him to a smaller throne beside him. He didn't want to seat but one mischievous look from order put his butt on the throne.
"It is evident that I'm very happy about this and just as we gained the upper hand when we took Percy, we shall also be victorious in the coming battles and the final war. We shall not only take but the universe will also be in our hands. Now let us celebrate tonight and prepare for the forthcoming wedding." At that, the monsters cheered some more.
Percy's POV
I have to keep this child a secret from order. If he knew about it then the security around my room would increase so much that the others won't be able to get me out and they would get caught.
If that was to happen then order would move the wedding closer and would make sure I'm with him at all times.
Even if I have to give in to order's demands to protect my child then I will. Kronos please hurry. I don't know how much I can keep this from order or how long I can stay sane.
