Summary
He remembered teaching his beginner’s swords fighting lesson. And Hermes appeared with news about…his mom. Their apartment. Singed to pieces. An earthquake. Rain. Lightning.
Singed. Lightning.
Lightning.
Zeus.
It was supposed to be different. They were supposed to change. He said he would change things. What did all of those children die for?
He felt naive. He felt tired. Worst of all, he didn’t even feel surprised. Of course, they didn’t change. They were incapable of real change. Sure, they’ll understand for a little bit. They’ll become more attentive and act like they care. Then, they’ll turn around and go back to their old ways the second they lose someone, or they see a face just too pretty to pass up.
He couldn’t even blame them. Humans created the idea of gods being perfect, but that perfection lacked anything real. They weren’t substantial, they didn’t have normal feelings; they weren’t anything but selfish, and cruel, and proud. They were used to taking what they wanted when they wanted it, with no consequences.
Well, it was about time they faced some consequences.
OR
Zeus messed up. Percy's had enough.
