PERCY

"So? How are things going on over there? Are they being a pain in the ass? Are they bothering you? Did they hurt you?" Kronos finished his sentence with a bit of overprotectiveness

I shook my head and smiled at him "No"

Kronos raised a brow, his image in the water slightly getting distorted because of the sudden ripple I made "No? Are you sure? You're not hiding anything from me, aren't you? If something happened, just tell me. I'll come flying to you before you can even blink"

I stared at him and sighed "That would be bad... really bad"

Kronos crossed his arms and frowned at me "And why would me, coming to you be bad? Is it wrong now to worry about your grandchild? Is it wrong for a person to not worry about the well-being of someone he cares about? Is it wrong to think that those blasted campers may had hurt you in ways that I can't even imagine? Tell me, what's wrong about me worrying about you?"

I groaned and hid my face in my hands. There it is, the over worrying grandpa surfacing. Kronos always gets like this if he doesn't see me for a week. Always contacting me and making sure I was okay. It was sweet and touching to see he cares so much about me, but having to always prevent him from going to where I was, is always tiring

"What I meant was that you tried to take over this planet not once, but twice!! Now, do you think that the campers and the Olympians will welcome you with open arms while smiling at you and thanking you for trying to kill them twice?" I crossed my arms "I don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon"

Kronos rolled his eyes "I no longer care about them. They hurt you, that is what matters to me. What kind of grandpa am I if I let them break you again? I don't want you to end up like last time, Perce."

My shoulders dropped, I have a feeling that I can't stop him this time "They won't, I promise. They don't even know that it's me..."

Kronos frowned when he saw me trailing off "But?"

I bit my lips and looked anywhere but the water in front of me "Just that, Apollo and Dad knows... ehe~"

Kronos' jaw dropped open and he instantly shot up from his chair, his eyes showing how alarmed he was at the information he acquired "What?!" The scenery around Kronos was changing rapidly, showing that he was moving around "How did they find out? Did they stalk you or something? Putting that aside, did they do anything to you? Did they hurt you? Blackmail you? Exposed you? Or worse, did something to make you cry?!! By the Gods, I will incinerate them where they stand if they did something to upset you!!"

I silently groaned, this is it. No one will be able to stop him now from coming here. I leaned back on the chair and looked up at the ceiling, dreading of what might happen if the Gods ever finds out about this. Don't mistake me, I want the Olympians to realize that Kronos loves them very much, but an overprotective Kronos, is not exactly a good sight. Especially if he is still upset about what the Gods and the campers did to me

"Pappoús, really... I'm okay. None of those happened and I'm perfectly fine" I tried to change my impending fate by trying to persuade him that nothing was wrong with me. Even calling him grandpa in Greek, which he loves so much, since it sounded that I care about him more. Don't ask me why he thinks that way, I don't know either

Kronos shook his head and I saw him grabbing a cloak from his closet and I groaned, yup, no one can stop him now. Not even Chaos

"I'll be there in a few hours. Wait for me, yiós. Pappoús will be there to protect you from the mean guys"

And with that, the connection was cut and I found myself groaning in distress.

Luke walked into my room and saw me banging my head against the wall muttering 'damn it' under my breath

"What are you doing?" Luke stared at me like I was some kind of lunatic

I rested my head against the wall and turned to stare at him "He's coming"

Luke frowned and walked towards me "Who is?"

"Kronos" I mumbled while returning to banging my head on the wall

"Stop that" Luke scolded before leading me to the bed and sat me down beside him "You don't have much knowledge and your banging your head on the wall? What will happen if the remaining brain cells in your head dies?"

I glared at him and crossed my arms "You're such an asshole"

Luke snorted "Only to you. Now, who's coming?"

I sighed and pouted "Kronos"

Luke spluttered and he stared at me with wide eyes "What?! Is he insane? Out of his mind?!"

I nodded my head at him "Glad you noticed"

Luke sighed "Why the hell would he come here, knowing that he might get crashed like a bug by his children? The ones who hates him to the very core of their beings? You know, the ones he ate? Had he finally snapped and realize that he wants to die by his children's hands?"

I slapped him on the head for that "That was mean of you to say. You know how Kronos loves his children very much, and regrets about what he has done. If he hears you say that, he'll probably choke you until you die. It's a taboo to say what he did back in those days, you know that"

Luke rubbed his head while apologizing. I sighed and draw my knees together, laying my head on top of my knees "Hey Luke, can I ask you something?"

Luke raised a brow "Hm?"

"Have you ever felt like revealing yourself to your father?"

Luke stiffened "Why do you want to know?"

I shrugged and stared at him from under my lashes "Just curious"

Luke sighed and leaned back with his hands splayed out behind him "I don't know... Honestly, it hasn't even crossed my mind ever since coming here"

I was about to ask him why when we heard the conch horn being blown.

I shot up from my position and grabbed my cloak before dashing outside, where campers were running around. Some were ordering the children to go to a safer area, while others instruct other campers to grab their weapons

I ran towards the border, where we saw the dragon, Peleus growling at a distance. Its tail instantly wrapping around the tree and its body covering the fleece. In case the intruder was set on taking it from him

I stopped and squinted my eyes a little. In the far distance, thousands of monsters were marching towards camp. Their armors clacking as they go, and their swords making sounds as it grazed upon the ground. Their footsteps were heavy as they march towards camp with a purpose

I looked at Michael for information

"Approximately one thousand to two thousand monsters are marching towards us" Michael informed while standing on a branch of a tree. His bow in his hands and his arrows slang behind him

"Types?" I asked while bringing out my katana. As much as I want to use riptide now, I can't. The campers still haven't found out about me, and using Anaklusmos would surely give off a very strong impression on who I really am

"Typically some Cyclops and Hellhounds, the Chimera, the Hydra... Oh! I just saw an Empousa. Looks like Kelly to me" Michael grinned down at me

I groaned and huffed, I shouldn't have told them about my adventures as a demigod, now they won't stop teasing me about how I almost fell prey for an Empousa and so on and so forth

"Anymore?"

Michael shrugged and sat down at the branch, his feet dangling "There's the Minatour, and I think that I saw Medusa and the Gorgons. Nothing we can't handle"

I hummed and looked at the campers behind me "You heard all that?"

All of them nodded, looking deathly pale at the amount of monsters heading their way

I sighed and cocked my hips the side "You think you can handle it?"

They slowly nodded their heads

"It's not like we have a choice, right?" A daughter of Aphrodite answered while gripping her sword tightly

I nodded and sighed when I saw some already crying. Of course, a hundred years of peace and free from quests, these demigods are nothing but amateurs. They know nothing about the anguish of losing someone important to war, they know nothing about the pain of fighting monsters who were born and created to take their life. This attack will officially be their first fight against the creatures who are dead set on devouring them

"I don't want to fight monsters. I don't want to die" A random camper cried while falling into her knees

The other campers were looking like they want to cry, while the councilors could only look with sympathy. They had experience in the fields of fighting since it was them who protects the young ones, and they were also a part of the war hundreds of years ago. They know a lot more than the others...

"I understand that you are feeling anxious and scared. You haven't been thrown into battle in all your life, much less fight a monster. But no matter what you or the Gods do, you are a half-blood born to fight for the world. The Olympians may had shielded you from your destiny to fight the monsters that lurks in the dark, but today, your normal life that the Olympians had managed to ensure over the century will be no more. You will experience firsthand on how a demigod live their lives. The lives that you all had been living up to now was nothing but a lie covering the true horror of what and how a demigod truly lives. You may be scared, you may be feeling anxious, but nothing will happen if you stay right where you are. This attack is only the first wave of the many monsters that will come your way. But, fear not, for me and my team will do our best to protect you from all those that wishes you harm. Though keep in mind that even if we protect you, you will also have to fight for yourselves, this is war, and we cannot afford to babysit all of you. If you want to live, then fight for your life. All those trainings that you've endured, all of those are for this moment. So, don't let me see you looking so weak, my soldiers do not cry because of fear, they cry for victory. Do you understand me?!"

Wow, that felt so refreshing. I feel so cool saying all those stuff

Ethan whistled while slowly clapping his hands "A speech worthy of George Washington, your highness"

I looked up and saw the others sitting beside Michael on the branch beside Peleus. They were grinning at me and giving me a thumbs up

I looked at the campers who were now wiping the tears away. Their eyes were blazing with determination "YES SIR!!"

I smiled and faced forward, my hand going to my hilt "And don't worry too much, my team will mostly handle all of them..."

Jason frowned "All of them?"

I nodded "All of them"

"That's impossible!! Eight against thousands of monsters? It's clear that you stand no chance against them" Katie argued

I smirked "You'll just have to see for yourself. It's not always about numbers, Ms. Gardner. I'll prove you that..."

The councilors were looking at me while frowning. They must be thinking that I was being too arrogant, which I'm not. I'm only stating the truth, after all. The Elites is not called the most useful and powerful asset Chaos has for a soldier for nothing. We were formed to take down enemies that threatens the peace that mother had ensured over the years when she had started to rule the universe. If we can't take down a bunch of earth monsters, then we might be as good as disbanded

"None of you will leave the borders!! Shoot anything that will get past us. That's the only thing you'll do for now. Now, go to your positions"

The campers were still looking uncertain, but nonetheless followed my instructions, each camper going to their respective area. Their bows and swords already drawn

Luke landed next to me "You sure we don't let them fight? This would be a good practice for them until the real battle"

"Yeah. They're not yet ready. I don't want them to experience the pain of losing a sibling this early" I looked at the campers who were looking relieved that they wouldn't have to fight "We'll let them fight if it's really something that needs to be done. But right now, I want to avoid sending them off to battle"

Luke sighed "You're too good for this world, Perce"

The others landed next to me and Luke, their weapons out in the open

"Let's see if we can get them to retreat first. I'd like to avoid violence as much as possible" I explained while walking forward until we were only a few meters away from the army of monsters

"Must you? We can just kill them to not waste time" Ethan complained while trailing behind me

The monsters stopped when they saw me and the others standing in their way. Medusa who was one of the people leading the army stepped forward "We have some brave heroes here~ Come to meet your death? Or is it that you want to become one of my precious statues?"

Ethan snorted "No, unfortunately for me, it would seem that we came here just see your ugly butt face"

I stifled a laugh and stared at Medusa who was scowling at Ethan "We came here to negotiate"

Medusa raised a brow and she let out a laugh "Negotiate? Negotiate?! Who knew you were so desperate to be save that you would try and negotiate with monsters"

Luke smirked at the laughing monster "It would seem that you are misunderstanding something here, snake for hair woman. We came here to talk you out of your crazy idea of you beating us. Our leader doesn't want to shed blood and would want to solve this matter peacefully. If you still insist on attacking the camp even after knowing this, then you will be seeing Tartarus a bit more sooner that you expected"

I smacked Luke on the head "Arrogant much?"

Luke rubbed his head while pouting at me "I'm only stating the truth. If they truly managed to beat us, what do you think will happen to camp?"

"They will be reduced to ash" Ethan answered while staring at the monsters in front of him with boredom

I sighed and raised a brow at Luke "Who was it who said that we shouldn't be overestimating our skills?"

Luke crossed his arms "That's different"

I snorted and rolled my eyes "Whatever you say"

A cyclop stepped forward, a bat in hand. His eye looking down at us with hunger "You really think you can beat us?"

I went to speak, but was cut off when Ethan the-like-to-picking-fights-with-monsters opened his big fat mouth "We don't think, we know"

I looked up at the heavens with desperation. They were really throwing my idea out of the window with all their comments and replies. Peaceful resolution wouldn't come true as long as these guys open their mouths... really...

I gripped the hilt of my katana tightly when I saw the monsters getting anxious. They were growling and flexing their hands. Some were swinging their knife and swords aimlessly, looking at camp with hunger in their eyes

"As what my companion said, I wish to avoid conflict and wish to solve this peacefully. We need not fight, if we can talk this out with each other. I'm sure that none of you wants to die, right?"

An Empousa stepped forward while smirking, her eyes sneering down at us "Us? Die? You are more naive than I thought you would be, boy. We are monsters. We do not die; we only return to darkness to heal the damage that has been done towards us. The silly swords that you're holding is just there to temporarily keep us away. You may kill us as many times as you want, but we will come crawling out of Tartarus over and over again. "

I swung my katana once, letting the monsters see that I was not carrying a simple celestial bronze sword. The dark metal of the void was glinting and mixing with the silvery Chaos metal. Fire as dark as the void were slightly coating the blade of the katana. Showing the viewers that it was not a sword that would give them a painless death

I stared at them from under the hood "Do you really think that this is a normal half-blood sword? Cause if you do, then you are naiver than I thought you would be"

The monsters backed away when they saw the sword, looking at their leaders and at the weapon I had in my hand with unease

"I will repeat this one last time, if you fail to cooperate, then I will be force to raise my blade. Retreat and scatter, I do not wish to kill any of you. Try and live a more peaceful life among mortals and half-bloods—"

The other monsters were slowly backing away when Medusa stepped forward, the snakes in her head hissing angrily "Resolution? Peace? There is no such thing as peace when it comes to war. We fight for ourselves, we do not need to force ourselves to mingle with beings we do not like when we can just create our own world." she looked at her fellow monsters "Charge!!"

The monsters, seeing the bravery of their leader, gave off a roar of their own before running towards us, their teeth bared and their weapons raised high in the air

I sighed and looked down sadly "I had thought that living for thousands of years would help you realize that not everything is yours for the taking"

I looked at Luke and nodded "Kill them... as painlessly as possible"

I focused on my energy and willed the fire on my katana to vanish. I do not intend to actually kill them permanently, our only mission for now is to take them out

Ethan grinned and twirled his spear with his hand "That would be a hard request to grant, your highness. But, I'll try"

I took a deep breath, closing my eyes and feeling the energy pulsing from the beneath the ground. Countless of feet thumping against the ground as hordes of monsters comes to us. I inhaled and exhaled before opening my eyes "Go"

That simple word got us all into action.

All of us sprang forward, our weapons drawn, the only thing in mind was to eliminate all those that are seen as a threat.

I raised my sword and hacked any monster that came into sight. Ethan was spinning his spear in his hands and all over his body, killing any monster that comes in his way. Michael and Zoe were back to back, their bows drawn and their arrows flying through the air as it launched towards their targets. Luke, Beckondorf and Silena were slicing several monster without hesitation

I grinned with pride, this is my team.

I came into a halt when I heard a familiar roar in the distance. I looked up and saw the Minatour charging at me. I beamed "Bull face!!"

I ran towards him, positioning my sword for an upward slash "I've missed you!!"

The Minatour gave a roar and swung his giant butcher knife down at me

I jumped out of the way and pulled my leg back for a kick. I was surprised to see him reposition himself so quickly. He gave a slash sideways, intent of slicing me in half

I dodged at the very last second, the sharp edge of the knife cutting a slight part of my hood and hair. I landed a few meters' way from him while clapping "Nice move!!"

The Minatour ignored my comment and went to charge at me again

I pouted, our first reunion after not seeing each other for a century and he ignores me. And I thought that we had something

I step aside when he threw the knife at my direction. I crouched down and took a deep breath before taking off

The Minatour couldn't react faster and by the time I landed on my feet again, he was nothing but gold dust

I carefully placed the blade on my shoulder while looking at the way my team eliminate countless of monsters without stopping.

I sensed someone approaching from behind, but did nothing. I felt the cold blade resting against my neck "It is cowardly to sneak upon a defenseless opponent, Medusa"

Medusa hissed and pressed the blade closer, enough to draw blood. I heard a gasp as she saw glinting white blood dripping down my neck "An immortal?! You bastard, you are not allowed to interfere with the affairs of your children!! It is against the law!!"

I let out a laugh, do I look like I have children? "Do I really look that old to you?"

Medusa hissed and jumped away from me. Her eyes blazing with fury and fear. The snakes in her hair hissing and opening their mouth to reveal their poisonous fangs "What are you?"

I turned around and smiled at her "As you can see, an immortal"

Medusa pointed her sword at me "That blood. I have never seen that kind of blood in all my life. The blood of a primordial represent their domains, the Titans are silver while the Gods and their foolish children are gold. Yet you have none of those"

I whistled and clapped my hands together "You're very well informed about us"

I then noticed that it was eerily silent and saw that every monsters were annihilated. The only one left was Medusa.

Luke and the others were already walking towards us

I looked back at her "I will answer yours, as long as you answer mine"

Medusa looked at my approaching team before gritting her teeth "What is it that you want to know?"

"Who ordered you to mobilize? It is entirely impossible to get that much monsters to come together without anyone taking the lead"

Medusa smirked before positioning her blade against her neck "Wouldn't you want to know?"

I stepped forward to stop her but she only gave me another smirk before separating her neck from her body with her sword. Her whole body turned into dust and along the wind, I can hear her voice saying 'Celebrate while you still can, little hero. The end is near and you can do nothing to stop it..."

I looked at the place where the she monster just stood with a contemplative expression on my face. I gritted my teeth and stabbed the ground with my sword. End is really starting to move, we don't have much time

I felt a hand on my shoulder and saw Silena frowning at me with concern "You alright?"

I sighed and shook my head "No, I'm not. It seems that the war has started"

My team and I looked towards camp where the campers were looking on with awe and fear in their eyes.

Beckendorf patted my back "We'll worry about that later. Right now, we need to go back at camp and train the campers. That's our only mission for now"

I nodded my head while looking at camp with sadness. I know that no matter what I do, casualties will be done during wars. Deaths will be unavoidable, and it pains me to think that these kids will have to experience the things I went through when I was still a demigod

We made our way back to camp

The campers were gaping at us

"H-How?" Katie stumbled out while staring at us with awe and fear in her eyes

I gave them a grin "I told you right, Ms. Gardner. It's not always about numbers"

"We heard you the first time, but what you did out there was not normal!!" Malcolm argued

I raised a brow and cocked my hips the side while crossing my arms "Normal? And since when did you categorize us to be normal, boy? We came from outside your planet, of course we're far from being normal"

Malcolm blushed

I sighed and uncrossed my arms "Now, I know that all of you are curious as to what happened back there and how that much monster managed to gather together without a leader leading them here. I have a clue as to how it happened and we will discuss it later, right now I wish to retire to our cabin"

The campers still looked uneasy and I gave them a smile "There is no need for such worry. There will be no more attacks for the time being, monsters might be immortal, but it still takes time for them to reform above the surface."

The campers relaxed a bit, but the councilors were still looking tense, like they were expecting some kind of monster to just pop out of nowhere and attack them

"Your highness, not to be rude but we need to discuss about what happened right away" Connor said

I stared at them and sighed. I looked at the direction of our cabin with longing "Fine, gather at the mess hall, since the Big House wouldn't be enough to accommodate all of us"

A few minutes later...

I stood up from my seat when I deemed that everyone was present "Now that we are all here, I would like to commence the meeting"

The councilors were sitting at the edge of their seats, and their fingers were tapping their knees repeatedly

I sighed and gestured for them to go and speak

Travis and Connor stood up "When Medusa grazed you, we saw white blood dripping down your neck, which was kind of creepy, no offense your highness, but it really was. We want to know why your blood is different than the Gods"

"None taken" I hummed and nodded my head "Good question, Stolls. I am only going to explain this once, so might as well bring the Olympians here"

I snapped my fingers and the Gods appeared while looking flustered at the prospect of being transported to camp without them willing it

"What?" Ares mumbled while looking at the crowd gathered around them

I clapped my hands together and gestured for the Olympians to take a sit "I know that you are feeling confused as to why I forcefully summoned you here, but I did that to inform you that the war has started and—"

"We already know, punk" Ares answered while crossing his arms and frowning at me

The Olympians stared at him with horror, while my brows twitched with annoyance "As I was saying, I summoned you here because we need discuss about the matte—"

"Just get to the point already" Ares drawled while toying with the hilt of his sword

Luke and the others were vibrating in their seat with anger, they were glaring at the War God who dared disrespect me in front of them

"Ares" Hera hissed while pinching his arm "Show some respect!!"

The Gods and the half-bloods were holding their breath, waiting for me to turn the arrogant son of a bitch into nothing but gold dust

I took a deep breath, no matter how long it will be, Ares still knows how to push my buttons without even trying. The bastard has a talent when it comes to pissing me off "I will ignore that comment and continue—"

"Stop dilly dallying and get to the main point already"

I gritted my teeth and forced myself to not strangle the bastard who was staring at me with bored eyes

Zeus gripped him by the arm "What do you think you're doing?! Are you trying to kill yourself?! Show some respect!!"

Ares scoffed and shook his hands off him "Why should I respect someone who doesn't even want to eradicate the monsters that wants to kill our children? He has the power to permanently kill them but he chose to show mercy upon those disgusting beings!!"

"The very monsters that you created" I stated while crossing my arms and taking deep breaths "I cannot just kill someone and send them to the void without reason. The void is a prison meant for the worst of worst. The monsters may had eaten most of your children, but they are only following their instincts, as your children follow theirs. My job is to protect your children; not eradicate the monsters they're meant to fight. The job of your children is to eliminate the mistakes of your wrong doings in the past. That is the curse placed by the primordials and Chaos to you all. I cannot interfere with that. I may be a son of the creator but if I ever step out of line, I will be punished by my mother"

"So in the end, you're nothing but a wimp scared of mommy smacking you" Ares taunted "The creator must be stupid to lent something as useless as you to us"

The ground beneath me started cracking, the winds were picking up and the sky was getting darker, thunderstorms clashing against each other, the waves slapping the shore harshly

The Olympians were paling bit by bit along with their children. But Ares refused to back down and glared at me instead

Luke and the others were standing up from their seats, they were seething with anger

"Disrespectful shit!!" Ethan spat while slamming his foot down on the ground, hard enough to crack the granite floor

Michael was gripping his dagger so tightly, it started bending "Bastard" he gritted out while glaring at the War God

Luke was trembling with anger, his eyes glaring down at the God, and his hand gripping his armrest enough to crash the poor wood into nothing but splinters "Cease that attitude at once Olympian God, or you will suffer the consequences"

Ares rolled his eyes and crossed his arms "Like you can do anything to me, punk"

Luke and the others were about to lunge at the God when I held up a hand. They instantly came to a halt while staring at me with disbelief

I shook my head at them "Let me handle this"

Luke and the others looked reluctant to obey, but nonetheless returned to their seats

I walked towards the God slowly "So, you think that a punishment from the creator is nothing but smacking my ass for being a bad boy? If you think that way, then you still have a long way to go, boy"

Hera rushed towards her son to shield him from me. Her eyes were wide with fear and her face was as white as a sheet of paper "Please!! He did not mean to offend you, please spare him!!"

I stared at Hera and softly smiled while patting down her hair "I do not intend to harm your child physically, Hera. In fact, I would just open his eyes as to what kind of punishment I will be subjected if I ever step out of line. You need not fear, I do not wish to harm"

Hera relaxed a little "What will you do with him?"

I sighed and frowned at the War God behind her who was glaring at me "I am not going to lie, the experience might become traumatizing for him, but it needs to be done to get my point across that I do not like people who knows no bound when it comes to disrespecting me. Don't get me wrong, I am not a person who takes everything to heart, but you should know for yourself that he had stepped out of line this time. He insulted my mother and that is something I cannot simply forgive just by him apologizing"

Hera looked teary, but nodded her head "I understand"

I gave her a sad smile before making her step back along with her husband, who followed her to stop me as well

I looked at Zeus from under my hood and tilted my head, silently asking if this was okay with him

Zeus bit his lips, but nodded his head "Do what you must"

I gave a nod and walked forward until I was in front of the War God who seems like he was regretting the fact that he spoke to me the way he did.

"You think I'm scared of you?" Ares sneered

I shook my head and frowned at him "I do not need you to fear me to teach you a lesson"

I lifted my hand and placed my forefinger and middle finger on his temple while closing my eyes.

I gathered all that I had managed to witness and learn in all my years as an immortal. I search for the ones when Chaos showed what punishment awaits a primordial who stepped out of line. I took a deep breath and pushed those memories into the War God, letting him see that my punishment will not be something light and easy

By the time I was finished, the God was trembling and crying "P-Please s-s-stop. I-I'm sorry"

I step back and let him fall on the ground, on his knees "Now, do you see that our punishment should not be taken so lightly? We are different from you and our rulers are different, our punishments are of course, also different"

Ares was crying and I instantly felt guilty, I never once thought that I would see Ares, the arrogant big headed War God crying and looking so broken than he is today. The experience might have been too much for him, or maybe I had been a little too harsh... I mean, even I locked myself up in my room for a decade after seeing that, and Chaos and Kronos even had to coax me into getting out

I knelt down in front of him and tilted his face up "I will lock those memories away, but in exchange you will never insult my mother again, do you hear me?"

Ares was hiccupping "I promise. J-just make it go away"

The Ares campers were looking horrified and pale at seeing their father so weak in front of someone

I sighed and repeated what I did when I transferred him some of my memories, but this time, my goal was to make it seem like he never saw any of what I made him see

Ares slumped down when I pull my fingers away from his temple. I looked at the Olympians and nodded my head to them as a go ahead motion for them to go and take the God

Hera instantly bolted towards her son, cradling his body close and looking at me with gratitude

I gave a nod and looked at the campers and councilors who were looking at me with fear and curiosity.

I was about to open my mouth, when a bright light enveloped the mess hall. I felt my stomach drop

I closed my eyes, and before I can even get out of the way, I was tackled to the ground

My back hit the ground and I gave a grunt "Pappoús, get off"

Kronos shook his head "I need to check if something is wrong with you"

The mess hall had gone silent and I noticed that the light was gone and that all occupants were staring at me and Kronos with wide eyes

Kronos instantly stood before me while glowering at the Gods and campers "What are you looking at?"

I groaned silently and banged my head at the floor. He's here, he really came

Zeus snapped out of his daze and he stepped forward while looking at Kronos, who was wearing a hood with wary eyes "Who is this friend of yours, your highness?"

I gulped and tried to think of an explanation. I can't just say that he's my grandpa, that would give me out since they know me as the son of Chaos, and it's impossible for him to be my grandpa when he's supposed to be my nephew. Ah!! My head is aching from all this complicated things, curse the Greek family tree!!

I was about to answer when Kronos puffed his chest like some kind of idiot and said the most touching thing to everyone

"His family, you got a problem with that?"
