Zeus's POV
I was getting inpatient. This meeting was important! How was he not here? Then again, Poseidon was often late for meetings. Not that he wanted to make everyone wait for him, he just helped a lot of the minor gods on his way to the throne room. I would never admit this, but I admire my brother for helping people with even there smallest problems. He was just that kind of person. If I ever try to help people, they would just look at me and ask me if I was ok. Anyway, Poseidon was never more than 10 minutes late, but now, 20 minutes had gone by, and Poseidon still wasn't here. Athena was sick with worry, which was odd since she was Poseidon's rival. Aphrodite didn't look worried, but she probably didn't realize what was happening. Ares looked bored. Artemis was sharpening her arrows. Hera and Hestia were bickering over weather or not it was a good idea to throw Hephaestus off of Mount Olympus. Everyone else was asleep. When would Poseidon get here? My phone beeped. I figured it was an email for 20% off Ambrosia-on-a-stick as seen on Hephaestus TV. I sighed. Checking emails would be better than waiting for Poseidon to show up. I took out my phone. It wasn't an email, it was a text. From Poseidon. "Help! Titan Back! He's trying to kill dn! Fm9d djn!". I figured that his phone was probably taken away from him as he was trying to say something important. Then I got another text. You could tell it wasn't from Poseidon. "You will never see Titan-boy* alive again. And if you thought Kronos was powerful, you haven't seen anything yet. I could kill Poseidon very easily if I wanted to". That. Was. BAD. I read the texts aloud to the council. Apollo muttered something about pancakes. Artemis cuffed him in the ear and he shouted "Flapjacks!". Athena stifled a laugh. I read the texts again. Apollo looked scared. He liked Poseidon. Athena looked like she might have realized who had kidnapped Poseidon, and she was obviously terrified. Not much could kill a god, but only two people where more powerful than Kronos. And obviously, he had gotten more powerful, if he could kill Poseidon easily. Athena nearly screamed "He have to save Poseidon!". Then Apollo said " How are we going to save Poseidon, if we don't know where he is?". Hephaestus looked thoughtful. Then he asked to borrow my phone. I gave it over. In about two seconds, he tracked down where Poseidon was. "Mount Tam, California". That was REALLY BAD! The titans must have him! But who could kill him? Then there was another issue. Whoever his captor was, he had called Poseidon "Titan-boy". They had to find out why. It could mean nothing, or everything. (A/N I realize this is starting to sound like Shakespeare). "Athena, do you have any idea what in Hades "Titan-boy" refers to? Or who his captor is?" I asked my daughter. Athena looked up from her research she was doing on her laptop. She hesitated slightly before saying "I have no idea what "Titan-boy" refers to." She paused, then said "But I have a few theories about who his captor is. It could be a giant, but I think there still being re-born, and if they are alive again, there still weak. So that's not an option. Kronos was defeated last summer, and he has definitely not reformed. Plus, the person said he was more powerful than Kronos. There's only two people like that. Gaia, for one, but that's unlikely, as she is still waking up. The only other person is…".
Then the Author spoke up, cutting Athena off. "And I'm gonna end the chapter right here, and let the readers guess who it is!"*
*Titan-boy has something to do with the end of the story. I meant to put it there, and it also has a double meaning. Anybody who can guess it gets recognition in the next chapter! The same thing for whoever can guess who Poseidon's captor is!
