Chapter Text

Three Minutes After the Titans Leave Olympus-
Zeus’ Perspective:

“We can’t stay here… Father somehow discovered our stronghold. He’ll be back…” I look around for some suggestion, partially hoping for grandmother to weigh in. However, the new young man spoke up, “What about the Island of Lemnos? It’s directly east of us mostly volcanic rock so no one‘s gonna come looking for us there and it’s far enough a way that the Titan Lord won’t even think to look over there.” It’s not a bad idea… would it work?

Metis questioned, “But the Island of Lemnos is 1,260 stadia* away… There’s no boat Big enough that’s safe enough to transport all of us and even if we were to build one, how are we supposed to keep that away from the prying eyes of the Lord of my kin?” The man just smirked answering, “You all focus on making it to the shore intact. I’ll focus on getting everyone to the island.”

I commanded, “Alright everyone, We’ll follow Helios to the East. There our new ally,” I looked to him. He spoke up, “Percy, my Name is Percy.” Strange name… “There Percy Will figure how for us to get to the Island of Lemnos. Let’s get moving.” I waved my siblings to come close. I spoke to them, “We should stay at the flanks of the half bloods. Poseidon and Demeter, I want you two leading us to the Coast. Hades and Hera, I want you two to make sure no one falls behind and ensure that no one is following us. Hestia, I would appreciate your council near the center.”

Around about An Hour of travel later-
Third Person:

They crusted a hill as they saw a vast expanse of water… Clearly, the sea between them and the island promised. Zeus called a “camp”(more everyone sit and rest) near the beach. The siblings watched with curiosity as they saw Percy you weighed into the water and sit nearly shoulder deep… They could all send something was weird going on as they could see the ocean calming around him almost swirling as if to recognize him…

Poseidon approached Percy as he saw the water crawling up Percy’s clothes. As salt water pours into cuts on his arms closing them. Poseidon, “Water can heal your wounds?” Percy nodded, “Yeah, it kind of comes with being a prince of the sea. Thought I didn’t even noticed that I got cut… The Styx’s blessing should have made that impossible however, I don’t think it was ever intended to survive what I went through…”

Poseidon couldn’t even comprehend how this sea prince had gotten Lady Styx’s blessing… The only way she could have given something like this could have been… She must have seen something in the young man.

Percy broke Poseidon’s thoughts as he spoke. “I have travel covered. You all should as much rest as you can… it’s going to be an heavy endurance trip…”

Notes:

*stadia- 10 stadia is equal to 1 nautical mile

———————————————————

Rhea was in the Othrys’ palace garden when Gaia manifested out of a tree plot.

“Mother, what do I owe the pleasure?” Rhea…

“Your Husband discovered Olympus however your children were warned just in time. I don’t know how but he knows about everything.” Gaia…

“Where are my children going now?” Rhea…

“They travel to the Island of Lemnos… And you need to make haste for their shores…” Gaia…

“I’ll leave now Mother… even if he knows about you, he can not fight you mother… May Khaos guide you mom.” Rhea…

Notes:

Not 15 minutes after Olympus was completely deserted, Kronos and his best warriors marched upon the mountain weapons in hand.

Atlas, “You’re losing your touch, uncle. There’s no one here.”

Kronos, “No no no. This is their stronghold they should be here. They just freed the Cyclopes. They should be back here why aren’t they here? This is their stronghold, their seat of power why aren’t they here!?”

Hyperion, “Well, it at least looks like they used to be here. So you’re not completely nuts. I can feel heavenly like it used to be here for a moment… I don’t understand it. It’s almost us if someone warned them that you were coming. Is it possible that we have a traitor in our mitts?”

Kronos, “No Rhea was completely out of the loop of our assault. And there’s no way Mother would’ve been able to warn them in time. No one else could hav… no. No, that sea spawn brat possibly be here… dammit, I didn’t mean to curse him…”

Iapetus, “Nereus had a kid?”

Kronos, “Not Nereus or Oceanus… my brat. Poseidon.”
