Thunder Bringer

[ZEUS]
Pride is a damsel in distress
Hiding away where only I can undress her

"Ew, dad!"

Try all she can not to confess
In the end, it's all the same once I apply all the pressure

Piper scoffed, disgusted filling her body, she knows that the Greek Gods didn't exactly take the word no at face value but hearing Zeus talk about how proud he is about it made her blood boil.

Thunder, bring her through the wringer,
Show her I'm the judgment call
The one who makes her kingdom fall
Lightning, wield her, use and yield her,

"You suck!" Piper flipped him off, shocking her friends, "He's not here, and time is frozen, so it's not like it actually ever happened."

"Yeah!" Percy grinned, joining in.

Show her what she can't conceal
For true nature will be revealed

Tell me, Odysseus
If I were to make you choose
The lives of your men and crew or your own
Why do I think they'd lose?

Leo groaned, "Can we just go one godly song without Odysseus being manhandled? Please?!"

Enlighten me, King of Ithaca
Since hunger was far too great
I wonder who'd take the weight of the damned
And suffer a gruesome fate to the

"Not Eurylochus realising that he messed everything up."

Thunder Bringer, here to ring your
Ears until you're deaf with fear and
Spear you while your death is near
Lighting wielder, here to yield your

"The cow," Hazel frowned.

Percy rolled his eyes, "I can't believe Zeus had his panties in such a bunch over an animal!"

Time for you have passed your prime
Sublime you for your act of crime

"Imagine being so insignificant that when a god is punishing you, he doesn't even talk to you," Nico rolled his eyes as he watched Zeus ignore Eurylochus.

[ZEUS, spoken]
Choose.

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Choose?

"Oh my gods," Thalia gasped, making Odysseus choose was an even crueler punishment than she had guessed her father would do.

[ZEUS]
Someone's got to die today
And you have got the final say
You?
Or your crew?

Jason bit his cheek, after Odysseus' crew betrayed him and caused this whole mess by killing the cow even after Odysseus told them not too, Jason knew there was no way Odysseus would choose his crew, not when it meant never seeing his family again.

[ODYSSEUS]
Please don't make me do this
Don't make me do this

Everyone other than Will felt their heart break at the call back, remember how he had said those same words when Odysseus was forced to kill baby Astyanax  but this time he actually has a choice.

[SOLDIERS]
When does a comet become a meteor?
When does a candle become a blaze?

"Is he going to—"

[PENELOPE]
I can take the suffering from you

"No, he will do whatever it takes for him to get home to his family."

[SOLDIERS]
When does a man become a monster?
When does a ripple become a tidal wave?
When does the reason become the blame?
When does a man become a monster?

[PENELOPE]
Let me take the suffering from...

"Yep, he's definitely choosing himself," Percy muttered.

[EURYLOCHUS, spoken]
...Captain?

"Ew ew!" Piper cringed as she saw the cow's blood drip onto Eurylochus' head.

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
I have to see her.

[EURYLOCHUS, spoken]
But we'll die.

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
...I know.

They gasped, watching Odysseus point at Eurylochus and the crew, turning his head away from his decision.

Jason felt anger rise in him, the punishment his father was giving the crew was unnecessary, they were starving, just trying to survive and now Zeus is turning their lives and deaths into a game.

[ZEUS]
Thunder, bring her through the wringer

"It's pointless trying to attack Odysseus," Reyna muttered as she watched the crew spend their last moments filled with rage.

Their hearts broke as they saw Eurylochus stand back, just accepting his fate and blame.

Show her I'm the judgment call
The one who makes her kingdom fall
Lightning, wield her, use and yield her
Show her what she can't conceal
For true nature will be revealed

"Eurylochus!" They cried as they watched the man die, many of the people in the room not a fan of his but still upset to see him die, especially so gruesomely.

(MUSIC)

"Wait! Is he okay?"

"Did my dad seriously do all that just for Odysseus to die?!" Thalia exclaimed.

Leo shook his head, his breath heavy as he realised something, "Calypso... She hasn't appeared yet, what if... what if he was sent to Ogygia."

The room went silent, the last thing they wanted to see was Leo's girlfriend's exsituationship with a 3000 year old man.
