Disclaimer I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians. This is just a story for fun.

Many years went by since The Big Three made the oath. For a while things had remained relevantly peaceful. Then one day Zeus fell in love with an actress named Miss Grace. They had a daughter named Thalia. Ms. Grace was very egotistic and selfish. When she was nine Thalia ran away from home. Hades found out about her existence and became furious. He released his three Furies and an army of hellhounds to kill Thalia. While Thalia met an older boy named Luke a fellow demigod. He was the son of Hermes the god of travelers. They became friends and traveled together. Later on they encountered a little girl name Annabeth another fellow demigod. She was the daughter of Athena. They formed a great bond with one another and became something like a family. They were later found by a satyr named Grover. He was going to lead them to Camp Half-Blood where they would be safe. They made a few wrong turns and had a horrible encounter with a cyclops. They were just about a few hundred yards away from the camp with the monster of the underworld just a few yards behind them.

Up in the sky Zeus watched with despair as the monsters gained on his daughter and her group. Desperate times called for desperate measures. Zeus summoned a small rain cloud and made it rain a little. A rainbow was formed. Zeus threw a golden drachma into it. The drachma disappeared and an image of Hades face appeared before him grinning wickedly.

"Hello brother. Enjoying the show?" Said Hades.

"Brother please call off your monsters! My daughter is innocent!" Said Zeus.

"Sorry dear brother, but you have broken your oath. A punishment must be given." Said Hades.

Zeus let out a sigh and took a deep breath.

"Punish me instead. Let me take the punishment for the crime!" Said Zeus.

"Oh a noble sacrifice, but I'm afraid that can not be. Your daughter must pay the penalty for your crimes. She can not be allowed to live." Said Hades.

"She is only a child! She is guiltless!" Shouted Zeus.

"So were my children and you killed them!" Shouted Hades. "Besides I'm only doing this to protect Olympus." Hades said mockingly.

Zeus shook with shock. One of his past misdeeds was coming back to haunt him.

"Now sit back and watch the as your daughter painfully dies. Just know that your the one who brought this upon her." Said Hades as his image disappeared.

Zeus watched as the monster's reached his daughter and her group. Thalia pulled out her spear and shouted to the others to go on and that she would catch up soon. She gather some lightning on her spear and threw at the wave if monsters. She knocked one of the Furies out of the sky and destroyed a few hellhounds. The monsters stepped back for a moment then they charged forward. Thalia threw more lightning at them destroying several hellhounds. One hellhound leapt up at her. She slammed her spear through the monsters chest turning it to dust. While her back was turned one of the Furies appeared from behind and ran it's claws through her shoulder. Thalia screamed and slammed the butt of her spear into the monster knocking it away. Thalia staggered back blood pouring out of her shoulder. She felt her life draining away. She looked behind her to see that her group had made it to the safety of the camp. She smiled a little. There was no way she was going to get out of this alive, but a least the others were safe. She turned and faced the monsters.

"Come and face Thalia daughter of Zeus!" She roared as she raised her spear with her good arm.

The monsters charged as one. Thalia charged into them screaming a war cry.

Up in the sky Zeus watched Thalia with pride. He was incredibly proud of his daughter's sacrifice for her friends and her courage. He knew that there was little chance of her surviving Hades minions. Then an idea came to mind. He could not attack the monsters, but he could save his daughter another way. He gather a ball of light and threw to the Earth. Back on the Earth Thalia laid on the ground with several scars on her. She was loosing a lot of blood. All the monsters stood over her. A large hellhound was fixing to pounce on her. When all of a sudden a ball of light came from the sky and hit her. There was a bright flash of light. Thalia felt her body change. Her body grew in size and shape. Her feet turned into roots, her body turned into a tree trunk, and her arms became tree limbs. Thalia felt her consciousness grow tired and her mind fell asleep. Where Thalia once stood there was a tall pine tree. The monster charged at it, but as soon as they got near it they were propelled back by some kind of barrier. The monster tried to get to it but to no avail. They gave up and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

Up in the sky Zeus sighed with relief. Suddenly an image of Hades head appeared before him.

"We'll played brother. That was quite unexpected. I never imagine that you would give one of your own children such a fate." Said Hades.

"It's better then letting you kill her and torture her soul in the underworld." Said Zeus.

"Perhaps. Either way no matter how you look at it I win. She suffered tremendously by my forces then you go and turn her into a tree. Can you just imagine what's she's experiencing and what she'll never experience. She'll never experience the joys of life. She'll never see her friends again. Never explore the world. Never have any more friends. Never experience any love or happiness. You've doom her to an imprisonment of wood. An eternity of nothingness. Such a fitting punishment for your child." Said Hades with a laugh as his image disappeared.

Zeus wept some tears. The clouds rain to match their masters mood over the fate of his daughter.

The End.
