The Fourteen

3rd Person POV

Hephaestus was taking a break from his forge. He was working extra hard to make all of things that Lord Perseus has asked him to make: A master bolt that will be his symbol of power, a throne for Hestia and Hades, and a sword for whoever the new God of War is.

He was finished with the bolt and the two thrones, now he just had to make that sword. He decided to make the greatest sword of all. I know what your think why, it because Hephaestus loved making swords, but he only made them for one person and that person was Ares, so he would never put any effort into making them.

Now he has a reason to put an effort into making swords again. He doesn't know who the new God of War is, but if Perseus has picked em then he knows that person is a good one.

While walking through the Olympus Park he heard crying. As he slowly hobbled over to the sound he could help but stop, he knew who it was. An angelic and soft crying that could only come from one person, his wife, Aphrodite.

She didn't hear him as he slowly walked up to her. Hephaestus put a hand on her shoulder and she immediately looked up at him.

Hephaestus was shocked, he has never seen her like this; her hair wasn't combed, she had no make up on, and had tear flowing down her cheeks.

The smith god cleared his throat, "My dear, what is the matter?"

"He...left...Me!" she said in between sobs. Hephaestus knew what she was talking about, she has always loved Ares more than anything. He hated Ares because he took Aphrodite from him, but now he left her. Now he could get her back.

He sat down on the bench beside her and put his arm on her back.

"shh...shh...You will be OK" she put her head on his shoulder. He was taken back at her, it has been far too long since she has been nice to him.

"I loved him." Hephaestus felt a bit of anger form inside him, and maybe a pang of jealousy. He wished his wife would love him like she loved Ares.

"He didn't deserve you." she looked up in his eyes, he thought he saw a little bit of anger in her face.

"What? That is impossible...He loved me." Then why he he leave you, he thought is his mind. But he didn't want to make her anymore anger at him than she already was so he went with the safe answer

"I'm sure he did. But you have to move on, you are a very strong and independent woman. You can find someone new in no time."

"But no one will ever compare to him." Hephaestus found himself getting furious. There was a time when she did love him, or at least she tried to love him. But then Ares took her away from him and he was left hiding in his forges.

Why bother, No one will ever love me, especially not Aphrodite. He took his arm off of her back and got up.

With his face turned away from her, she looked up at him with confusion.

"Hephaestus?" she said with small tears coming down her cheek.

He tried to remain calm, it was hard, but he was able to do it. "I'm sorry, Aphrodite, but I am very busy and must return to my forge" He said through his teeth, then hobbled off.

Aphrodite began crying harder. I know I have not been kind to him but there was a time when he loved me, and I loved him, she thought of the god that just walked away from her. Why did he just leave when I need him most.

That's it I have to go and talk him. Aphrodite wiped the tears away and went to go talk to her husband.

Hephaestus was in his forges pounding on the sword in front of him. When it will be finished it will be the best sword on Olympus.

Aphrodite slowly walked in to his forges. She hated that place, it was no place for a goddess of love. She didn't really now why she was here, her and her husband didn't get along.

When she got next to the doors she heard talking that was clearly Hephaestus'.

"Why can't she love me! That is all I want!"

Aphrodite was shocked,she thought that he hated her, She listened more closely

"Everyone hates me! I'm just the old cripple...no one cares for me except for the stuff that I make."

Aphrodite was shocked again. Is this why he never really talks to anyone?

She burst through the door, "Hephaestus!" The smith god looked up surprised to see his wife in the one place she didn't like to go.

"Aphrodite! What are doing here?"

"Is it true, Hephaestus? Is that what you want? My love?" Aphrodite asked running up to him.

"Yes."

"O, Hephaestus" she cooed burring her face in his chest.

"Aphrodite! I love you!" he kissed her for head

"I love you, too"

Aphrodite walked up to the sword that he was making, "What are you making?"

"Ah...Ah...a gift...yes a gift." Hephaestus stuttered. He was not supposed to tell anybody, not even his wife.

"A gift for who?" Damn it! I can't let tell you, woman! Hephaestus was trying hard not to say anything, here was his wife finally saying that she loves him and he doesn't want to make her angry at him now.

"I can not tell you...I have strict orders not to tell anyone what I am making." she pouted

"Please, please, please!" Aphrodite begged

"I'm sorry, my love, but I cannot." she pouted again. "My love, how about you go back to the house and I will see you when I finish"

"OK, but hurry up." she cooed and winked at him.

"I will" and he kissed her on the forehead

Two days later Hephaestus finished the four items. The thrones were all rearranged in the order that Perseus has made.

Perseus talked to Hermes and asked him to go tell Hades that he is to attend the meeting. And also to go to camp half blood and get a certain demigod and tell him he is to attend the meeting. Hermes nodded and delivered the news.

Perseus, Hera and Poseidon were all sitting on their thrones, when all the other gods walked in at the same time. When they saw the thrones rearranged they stopped and had stunned expressions on their faces.

"The thrones have changed, my lord?" Athena asked the king.

"Yes I have decided to change it up a bit. Now without any further questions please sit down at your thrones."

All of the gods nodded and found their seats. They all noticed that two thrones were empty, thrones that they haven't seen before. They were all in attendance, so why were there two seats still empty?

"Why are there two empty thrones?" Artemis asked. She was a little angry that she had to sit next to her annoying brother now. Before she used too sit on the other side of the room.

"I have decided to add two more members to the council." Athena opened her mouth to speak, he knew what she was going to ask, "Do not ask me who they are." she closed her mouth and nodded.

At that moment Hestia silently walked in and sat down by the hearth. Perseus smiled, thinking of what kind of reaction she would have to the news.

"Hestia?" He asked the little goddess on the floor.

"Yes?" she asked her nephew.

"What are you doing?"

"I-I'm taking my place at the hearth, my lord." Hestia answered

"Your Place? That is not your place."

"What do you mea-" she stopped when she saw him gesture to an empty throne next to Poseidon. It was white and had a picture of a hearth in the middle of it.

A big smile was on her face as she stared at her new throne. She then looked quickly back to Perseus and ran to him. She she reached him she gave him the biggest hug ever.

"O, thank you, thank you, thank you!" she repeated with joy. Perseus as well as the rest of the gods had huge smiles on their faces.

Hera, Poseidon, and Demeter all got up and gave their sister a hug and congratulated her.

"you deserve it." Poseidon, her favorite sibling, whispered in her ear.

"Thank you!" she said to all of them.

"Don't thank us." Hera told her sister. "It was all Perseus' idea."Hestia gave Perseus another huge hug and sat down on her throne happily.

Someone else walked into the room, this time it was Hades.

"What is the mean of this? And why am I he-" He stopped when he was who was in the head throne.

"Why are you here? Where is Zeus?" Hades asked, and Poseidon stood.

"Zeus and Ares have betrayed the gods and have joined the Titans." Hades dropped his jaw.

"WHAT?"

"Yes, brother, Perseus took his place as Lord of the Sky and King of the Gods." his jaw dropped again. He then got mad that he has to stay in the Underworld while this son of Poseidon got to be king of the gods.

"What do this have to do with me?" No one said anything, instead Perseus gestured to the empty black throne in between Demeter and Ares' old throne.

His eyes widened, is he really given a throne on Olympus.

"Wha..." Hades trailed off.

"You are now an Olympian." Perseus said with a smile, while Hades eyes got wider. "You are to attend ALL council meeting...and help protect Olympus at all costs! Is that understood. He was speechless, so he only nodded.

Hades sat down on his throne, even Demeter smiled a little.

"My lord, there is still one throne empty." Athena spoke.

"Yes, I know." Perseus told her, then looked at the God of Messengers. "Hermes, has the message been delivered?"

"Yes, Lord Perseus, he should be here shortly."

"Good"

Hephaestus stood, "Lord, this is the perfect time to present your gift to you." he hobbled to the center of the throne room. He was holding a long cloth with something inside of it.

Hephaestus unfolded the cloth and revealed a six foot long, blue and gold lightning bolt. It was so beautiful that Zeus would die just to touch it once.

He held it out in front of him careful not to touch the bolt.

"Call it, my lord." Perseus held his hand out and open his palm. When the bolt touched mi it grew to become ten feet.

Lightning crackled throughout the whole sky and shook the throne room. Thunder boomed so loud it sounded like a nuclear bomb went off right next to your ear.

Perseus' eyes became darker, and lightning flashed throughout them.

All of the gods covered their ears when the thunder went off. It was loud, far louder than when Zeus would get angry.

"It is Beautiful, Hephaestus! I love it! Thank you!" Hephaestus blushed.

"It was an honor, Zeus' bolt is like a sparkler (you now those like sticks you have on Fourth of July) compared to yours.

"Thank you, Hephaestus, you deserve a vacation!" the Lord of the Sky boomed

"Thank you, Perseus. There is also one other thing you asked of me." he pulled out another cloth.

"Ah, Yes the sword." he took the cloth from the smith. "I will present it to him when he gets here."

Hephaestus nodded and hobbled back to his throne next to his wife.

Just then a boy about the age of 14 entered. He had jet black hair, black eyes, and olive skin.

"Nico?" Hades asked

"Father? What am I-" Nico saw that his father was on a black throne with his sibling instead of in a temporary throne at the end. "Why are you up there?"

"I am an Olympian." Hades said smugly, Nico's jaw dropped.

"When did Zeus make you a-" then he look at the head throne and noticed that Zeus wasn't there, but his friend and cousin was. "Percy?"

"Hello Nico." Perseus said with a smile.

"What are you? Why are you?..."

"I am Lord of the Sky and King of the Gods." Nico shook his head in disbelief.

"What? But what about Zeus?" Nico asked surprisingly.

Perseus face fell into a frown. "Zeus and Ares betrayed the god and joined the Titans."

"What?" I must be hearing things.

"Yes, I know it is strange to hear but it is true."

"I-if I may ask. What does this have to do with me?" like father, like son." Poseidon thought.

"Because, Nico, with Ares gone we need a new a replacement. We want you Nico to become the new God Of War." stun silence filled throughout the room. Then Hades open his mouth

"You want my son to become the new God of War?" Perseus nodded slowly

"If he will accept it, then yes." Hades looked at his son with eagerness in his eyes. Please say yes, please say yes! He chanted in his mind.

Nico thought about it for a moment looking around at all the council members, his friend Percy, his father. He knew what he had to say.

"Yes" Hades yelled out in joy. His son is finally getting the recognition that he deserves.

"Good. Now Nico you must go and sit on your throne. There you will find the power of the God of War."

Nico did as he was told and sat down on the throne. Power surged through him, he could hear everything that happens in battle like it was happening right next to him. When the pain he felt finally stopped he realized that he had grown to 13 feet talk.

He had longer black hair, eyes of black flames with red tips. His muscles grew and were big, not huge, but big. He was wearing a red shirt with the words "A BATTLE A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY" and black skinny jeans.

"Come to me, Nico." Nico did as he was told and stepped toward his cousin."

"I present to you your Symbol of Power." Perseus held out the cloth to Nico and he unveiled it.

A beautiful black sword with gold engraved throughout the blade. The hilt was gold and had a diamond in the shape of a skull on the handle. Rubies were placed around the diamond skull. The sword was the most beautiful on Olympus.

"I had Hephaestus make you that." Nico turned to Hephaestus

"Thank you." he nodded his head signaling a 'your welcome'. Perseus Boomed throughout the room

"Now we are the Fourteen Olympians!"
