Predictions

I awoke in a dark room tied to the wall. Whoever it was must know me really well, because they took away managed to shut off all my powers. Well, almost all. I can still summon food but I have no way of eating it. Almost immediately after I woke up, he walked into the room. Of course. My suspicions were correct. Tartarus, I said in Greek. 'You were foolish to think you had escaped' he replied in English. 'I might be foolish, but I'm still more handsome' I taunted. Oh no. 'My taunts are growing weaker. I'm starting to become depressed. Like you' I said. The look on his face was priceless. I bit back a laugh as he walked over to me. 'What was that, demigod' he asked in a scary calm voice. 'I said-' I tried before he slapped me so hard my ears started ringing. I could taste blood. 'Never mock me, I have told you many times. Do want to listen to The Rules again?' He asked. 'No please no' I replied, afraid. Suddenly, I felt a pulling feeling in my gut. 'No, not now' Tartarus muttered. 'What's happening' I asked as I rose into the air. 'You have been summoned. Remember this, young hero. I am not your enemy. Be wary of the sea' he said right before I was teleported.

'We have many monster sightings in the woods near the camp. Clearly this is unnatural, my lord' Athena said to Zeus. 'Who leads them' he asked. 'Till now, it looked like Tartarus was leading them, but now, it is unclear.' She replied. Everyone laughed, because they all knew how much she hated not knowing something.
'We need the Banished One, Lord Zeus' she said.
'Very well' was the reply.

'We are here to say, Percy Jackson will be pardoned for his crime and should not be insulted at all. He is now a criminal and will probably attack whoever is rude. Since we need the campers, it is highly suggested to stay in your limits. He isn't to be talked to about his crimes and it is better if he is avoided and left alone. He will be here to help us in the war, and after that, he will be sent back to Tartarus. All of this in the letter isn't to be told to him.' Chiron read from the letter to the half bloods, each word making him feel more upset. Annabeth held her anger in. Percy Jackson, Betrayer? No. That's not Percy. Either he is brainwashed, or the gods are lying. Of course she would never confront them. They probably would just kill her. Seaweed brain was coming back though, and that thought made her giddy with happiness. She realized she had a weird smile on her face when people started looking at her.
She put on her grim face and listened attentively.

'As the fates as our witness, we recall the Banished One in our time of great need. Let the doors to Tartarus open, and may only allies pass through' Zeus chanted. The floor fell away again, revealing a surprised Percy, limp, and looking like he was hanging from invisible thread. He must have hyperventilated at some point, being the son of Poseidon, but he was back. As he was set down, his body grew stiff, indicating he was awake. The moment he touched the ground, he hid his face, and only his eyes showed, glowing due to his fire powers from hestia. Zeus stepped forward 'Percy Jackson, you are required to support us in this war or you will suffer-'
'Suffer? YOU FILTHY UNGRATEFUL INSECTS! 120 years! 120 years I was stuck in that pit, and you only call me to help in your war?' He asked, seething with anger. He rushed to Zeus Inca blink of an eye, and suddenly, out of nowhere, he had a sword pinned to Zeus's throat. 'I have seen more than you ever have in all your millennia. Speak with respect! And as for the war? Go to Tartarus, you unbearable pieces of drakon poop. And trust me, drakon poop is much more formidable than you. At least it doesn't BANISH PEOPLE FOR DUMB REASONS!, he exploded again. Finally, after a long awkward silence, even from Ares, athena raised her voice. 'Earlier you mentioned 120 years, but it has actually been 2 years'. 'Time works different in monster places' he muttered. All the gods glanced at each other. It was obvious what they were thinking. They didn't know time would pass that fast for him. And they didn't realise he would survive all this time. 'Well thanks for setting me free and all that, but.. Bye' he started to raise his hand to click them for fire travel, but Zeus stopped him. 'Perseus, remember,here its only been 2 years, and all your mortal friends are with us. To keep them safe, you must fight in the war. You must protect Olympus' he said. 'And what if I don't care about them, anymore? What if, knowing they believed you, I hate them. What threat would you give me' was the reply.
'This' said Zeus. The god of the air then snapped his fingers and something like an iris message appeared, but it showed Percy's Tartarus hut. It showed the shelf that had all his friends pictures, the ones he painted himself, from memory.
Damn you Zeus' said Percy. 'Is that a yes?' Zeus asked eagerly. Percy took a moment to answer. 'I was right when I said you would need my help. I predicted my answer wrong though.' Percy replied.
The gods looked embarrassed as he said this.
