Sneak Peek: The Prophecy

(Author's Note) (A full summary will be at the beginning of Chapter 1)

Hey everyone! You guys have NO IDEA how excited I am to start this story! This is the Sneak Peek for my upcoming "Champion of Olympus" story. Since this is under a new story, I just wanted to let you all know what's going on. I decided to move the chapters from the Prequel Story to this new one, I will be putting up the main story chapters after these ones.

"Champion of Olympus" is strictly a Percabeth story, so you might be wondering why this has Percy and Artemis in it. Well that's because while I am a huge Percabeth shipper I do like Pertemis as well, I really like their dynamic so I decided to make this a FRIENDSHIP Pertemis story. Artemis and her Hunters also play a big role in the main story as well so I had to do some set up for it. That's what this story is, set up for my main story. So please give this a chance and if you like it then let me know and I'll be even more motivated to get the first main chapter out.

Let me give a few clarifications for this story, they're important, so please take a second and read them:

First, I plan to write another prequel story or two that will actually take place before this one. So I will mostly be skipping over a few things that will be explained in them so that I don't give out any spoilers right now. Mostly being how Percy obtained his Title, what it is, as well as new weapon. I'll give a basic explanation in this story but you'll have to read the other stories when they come out to get the full story.

Second, I will be giving Percy the Curse of Achilles back in this story, I never really liked how Uncle Rick took it away in Son of Neptune just so that Percy wouldn't outclass the other demigods. Which he does regardless, I've done some research and do you guys have any idea how OP Percy is? He's insane. Anyway, I'll give a brief explanation for why it's back in this story. The Curse of Achilles also plays a part in the main story, so that's another reason why it's back.

With that being said please leave a Review, Follow/Favorite and vote in my Poll on my Profile for my next stories. My PJ story is on there but since I have a general anime audience it doesn't have many votes, I wish to get a book audience as well. Hopefully you guys will vote for PJ because I want to write that story next. Hint hint, wink wink.

Enjoy the story, Hephaestus

Sneak Peek: The Prophecy

(6/1/2010 - Mount Olympus)

The entire Olympian council, bar Poseidon, sat on their respective thrones in silence. They all knew the reasoning for this meeting, though no one knew how to start it. But Ares gave it his best shot.

Slamming his fist onto the arm of his throne he bellowed to his fellow gods. "Are we here to sit in silence or are we here to talk?"

"Calm yourself, Ares." Athena's calm voice spoke out. "We all understand why we are here, but some of us-"

"Most of us." Apollo cut in, earning himself a glare from the goddess of Wisdom.

"But some of us are not sure that this is the best course of action." She finished, her chin held high.

"Not the best course of action?!" Ares questioned, unable to understand what he was hearing. "You all saw what that bastard of an upstart did in Greece! He destroyed half of the mountainside! When are you all going to see that he's a threat to Olympus?!"

"When he proves himself to be one." Artemis spoke out from her silver throne.

Ares gestured wildly to the scene of carnage that was hovering before them. "He's already proved himself to be a threat!" The god of War cried. "On top of that he has now been granted with godly domains! He is the most powerful mortal to ever live! He repeatedly refuses to accept immortality! And do you know why?"

"Why?" Artemis asked, her voice amused.

"Because he wishes to take our thrones by force!" Ares answered angrily.

This caused all of the gods in attendance to start talking all at once, voicing their opinions and demanding to be heard.

"You cannot be serious." Artemis spoke harshly.

"Percy would never do such a thing!" Apollo cried, bewildered.

"You're out of your mind, Ares." Hermes yelled.

"We have no reason to suspect Percy of such things-" Hephaestus started.

"You are merely miffed that young Perseus defeated you in battle, Ares." Athena cut in.

Ares slammed his fist down again. "Why you book loving-"

"Enough! Silence!" Zeus slammed his Master Bolt to the ground, causing Olympus to shake and the other gods to silence themselves. He turned to Ares. "You know of my extreme distaste for my nephew, but this is a serious accusation, Ares. What proof can you provide that Perseus will be a threat to Olympus?"

Ares made to speak but Apollo's sudden rising from his throne surprised the throne room. "Apollo," Zeus bellowed. "What are you-"

Green mist rose from his eyes, mouth and ears while the temperature dropped considerably around him. Apollo's mouth opened as wide as physically possible, but instead of his voice, three high, gravely female voices spoke in unison.

"Olympus beware the Mortal of Might

The heir shall strike War and Love in the night,

A long forgotten foe shall rise, an Angel and Lion in disguise

The Mount shall fall and the Sky will rise,

The Son shall follow the fate of those before

And slay his father at the door"

Without warning, Apollo's body slumped to the floor. His sister, Artemis, was at his side in an instant. Just as the gods in the room exploded.

"The Fate Sisters have delivered another Prophecy." Hades spoke stoically from his throne.

"What does it mean, 'The Mount shall fall'?" Hephaestus asked. "Is it referring to Mount Olympus?"

"Does the sky refer to Ouranos?" Hera cried. "I thought that he had faded!"

"Beware a mortal?" Demeter asked, astonished as she held some grain as if it were her lifeline. "The only mortal that could pose a threat to Olympus would be young Perseus."

"We must wait until Apollo wakes until we jump to any conclusion!" Hermes yelled.

"A long forgotten foe? Does that refer to-" Aphrodite was cut off by an explosion of electricity.

"Silence!" Zeus roared. " We will discuss this-"

"You see, you see?!" Ares interrupted him, a very risky endeavor. "'The Son shall follow the fate of those before and slay his father at the door'." He smiled to his fellow gods like he had finally pieced everything together.

"'The Son shall follow the fate of those before' refers to how the son always overthrows the father." He turned to Zeus, his eyes flaming wild. "Like how you killed your father, as his father did before him! Percy will kill his father and take his place! Kill all of Olympus as well!"

Athena cut in. "I do not believe-"

Ares slammed his spear to the ground. "Did you not hear the part about War and Love?!" He cried wildly. "Percy will kill me and Aphrodite as well!"

Hephaestus rose from his throne, a flaming sword appearing in his hand, putting his other hand protectively in front of his wife. "That will not happen!"

"Silence!" Zeus bellowed. He sat back in his seat gruffly, seemingly weighing all of his options. He turned to Athena. "What say you, daughter?"

Athena's brow raised in thought. She remained silent for several minutes. "I believe that we must take this Prophecy seriously, father." She gestured to Ares. "I do not believe it coincidence that the Fates gave us this Prophecy when Ares was talking about a threat to Olympus. Though we can not be sure that Perseus is the threat in the Prophecy."

"Minotaur-shit!" Ares cried, his throne aflame. Zeus sent him a dangerous look and the War god silenced himself and sat back down.

Zeus took in her words and sat on his throne in thought. "I have had my suspicions about Perseus since the beginning, he is not to be trusted. We must make preparations… just in case." He turned towards Athena. "Begin planning, Athena. We will be prepared for when Perseus attacks Olympus."

Hera turned to her husband, placing her hand on his arm. "Should we tell Poseidon, dear? It is his son-."

"No!" Ares bellowed. "Poseidon will side with his spawn, we can't tell him! We will lose the element of surprise. Most battles are won because of a solid first strike!"

Zeus nodded his head. "We shall vote on it."

Apollo woke in Artemis' arms. He looked around the throne room with a confused look. "What did I say?" He asked, rubbing his throbbing head.

"Something that very well might have doomed Perseus' fate, my brother." She lowered her voice to a whisper. "Come, we must make preparations."
