The big reveal

Aphrodite's POV
Ha! Young love. They all look so cute. I wonder why the gods can't be like them. I mean take a very good look at the Olympians.

  Zeus and Hera are like cats and dogs even though they are married. Then there's Hephaestus and I, though we are married, we do not acknowledge each other.

  "Now that it is out of the way. We have something of more importance to discuss" Zeus thundered interrupting Aphrodite's train of thought.

  "What now? It's not like there's another great prophesy, right?" Percy asked.

  At that all the gods avoided eye contact. Suddenly the gods found great interest in the pattern of the ceiling.

    "Oh come on not again. We just got a few months of peace and we are going to the war front again. At least now I know where I got my talent for annoying higher beings." Said Percy.

   "Well at least you can have the wedding before the war. That way you don't have to think about it." I piped in.

   "But that will make them all unprepared for the war." Zeus said with a face that scream 'are you seriously suggesting that'.

   " why don't we ask the brains in this council?" Ares said while filing his nails with a throwing knife.

   The whole council and the demigods stared at him like he had grown wings.

    "Are you sure that is Ares? Because the Ares I know is an airhead that only thinks about war happening" Percy said.

   "Very true. That is the smartest thing you have ever said." Said with a bewildered Athena.

    "So who are we fighting this time?" Annabeth asked.

    "Well, we don't know that yet but what we do know is that Kronos is coming back either as an ally or enemy" Athena stated.

   "Why would he be an ally. As matter of fact he's always been against us." Percy said looking confused.

   "By the looks of it there may be a higher power at play. But here's the prophecy anyway.

Beware rulers of earth

Child of the sea he seeks

The destroyers craves revenge

Upon the creator himself

Time and tide shall meet

To unite friends and foes

The fate of the world

In their decision it lies.

A traitor among friends

The gods must find.

     "Well that's new. Its got something to do with chaos" Leo said.

   "No Styx Sherlock" (well guess who said that) Thalia said with a bored tone. But if you looked closely you would see her fidgeting. Showing she was nervous and down right scared. I mean who wouldn't. In the last war she had lost a lot of sisters in the hunt. She didn't know what she would do if she lost more.

  "Well it would be wise to give them a break before the war. Let them enjoy their peace for a bit of time and then we will get down to business." Athena said looking at the half bloods with pity.

     "Very well then. This meeting is dismissed" Zeus thundered.  

      The gods were about to flash out when they felt time freeze. Immediately they all tensed. Unable to reach their weapons. They began to wonder how the titan king got passed the barrier. As if sensing their thoughts, he gave an answer.

  "You really think the barrier can keep me out" he said with amusement clear in his voice. 

   "Well it did before" Percy said with a 'duh' tone.

    "Well let's get this meeting officially started. But first you must swear not to attack me" Kronos said looking quite serious.

    At the first sign of reluctance he signed. "Look i'm not here to harm you. In fact I can help you."

   "What's the catch? Even if the universe ends you won't give a fuck. Because you are a part of time you'll still live." Percy said with a scowl.

Kronos smirked "of course. Straight to the point. Its easy."

   "With you nothing is easy" Piper said.

   "I just want something that belongs to me. I'm sure three particular people or rather gods know what it is" Kronos said with a smile that resembles a child on Christmas day.

   'Oh no. How does he know. We can't let them know especially not now. Not with Percy's condition. We should have raised the barrier.'
