《Son of the Council》The Rest of My Friends Remember and My New Cabin
Advertisement
As we arrived back at the cabins, I asked Luke to go and get a few people, the few that I trusted and the ones that stood by me. "Sure thing Perce." He said and he ran off, first towards the Ares cabin and then towards the Hermes cabin with a reluctant Clarisse in tow. I walked towards the Aphrodite cabin, already preparing my nose for the toxic amounts of Chanelle I would soon be exposed to. I reached the door and the door was opened by a younger Aphrodite girl with blonde hair that reminded me of her. In fact, I thought, I had seen lots of the people form this cabin accusing me of things and helped to cause my old life to end. As the anger and rage of those memories I managed to choke out "Can I speak to Silena?" I must have sounded terrifying because the Aphrodite kid paled and ran off to find her at the back of the cabin immediately. I didn't have to wait long until she brought Silena to the door and the anger left me. Seeing her again after so long, after her sacrifice during the second Titan war, I couldn't help but allow a smile to grow on my face. She scowled at me, probably imagining I was staring at her in a weird way, and since she had seen my claiming she was already worried about me. "Well?" She asked, "What do you want?"
"Umm, could I speak to you for a minute. Please, it's important." She looked me in the eyes and slowly began to nod here head, her kind nature overcoming her one of wariness as she left her cabin and followed me. "Where are we going?" She asked me. "Well, I need to speak to more than just you. I asked Luke to go get Clarisse and the Stolls and we are going to get your boyfriend." I told her as I pulled her arm, getting her to go faster.
When we stopped outside the Hephaestus I impatiently knock on the door. I can here a rattling from inside and the door is opened by Beckendorf, my gods BECKENDORF. The last time I had seen him I was jumping off the side of the Princess Andromeda as it exploded. Tears threatened to leak out of my eyes but I managed to force them away and started to speak "Can I speak to you and a few others, my friend Luke has already got the others and I've got Selena here so can we talk, please?" Beckendorf looked at Selena and as she nodded, he stepped out of the cabin and began to follow us.
"So your friends with Luke?" Selena asked me, I guessed that was why she trusted me immediately.
"Yeah, he's a cool guy I guess...Oh look, there they are." I waved at Luke as he waved back and I saw an angry looking Clarisse and the Stoll brothers whispering and giggling to themselves just like they always did. We walked over and their chatter died down, "Right, so I need to ask you guys to do something so you understand what I'm going to say." I told them as I pulled out the packet of sweets for the second time that day. "I need you guys to take 1 each and then we can continue." They all looked at me like I was trying to either stab their grandma or steal their pets.

"And why would we do that Punk?" Clarisse sneered at me, reaching towards her boot for a dagger she kept there.
"Because, Clarisse," I said, "it is the only way for us to talk if you do." They all looked at each other until Silena spoke up, "I trust him guys, let's eat the sweets then." One by one, the cold glares at me faded away as each of them took a sweet and Selena and Luke nodded at them as they swallowed. Immediately after the sweets dropped into their stomachs they he,d their heads and moaned in pain, I winced because I was doing this to my friends but it had to be done. Slowly, one by one, each person stood up taller but looked lost, just as Luke had. "Hi guys, welcome back!" I said, loud enough to break them out of their trances. "Prissy, what the hell have you done this time?!" Clarisse asked me as she looked around and saw Beckendorf and then Selena, at which point she sprinted over and crushed her in a hug. "Well," I said, "I've got to explain some stuff."
After a few hours, multiple curses and a broken hands from our hung a tree, surprise surprise it was Clarisse, I finally finished telling my story and getting them all to agree to joining me. We decided that we would all meet up at my cabin, if I had one that is, at midnight that night. We each went our separate ways and prepared for capture the flag that would happen that night. I walked towards the semi-circle (A/N Or was it an Omega shape, I can't remember) of cabins, but there was one I didn't recognise. It looked like a mix of the Demeter, Poseidon, Apollo, Zeus, Ares and the yet to be built Hades Cabins with a large clock-face above the door and windows with swirling images of galaxies. I opened the door and a tingling feeling passed through me as I stepped into the building. Although it looked just as big from the outside as any other cabin, the inside looked as big as a palace, "Wow." I murmured in surprise at the immensity of my cabin compared to the size of my old one. 'My son,' Chaos spoke in my mind, 'the doorway into the cabin is enchanted, only those that you or those you allow will be able to pass into this pocket universe I have created for you, any that try to enter without her permission will be locked into the actual cabin, which is just a room full of beds and a bathroom, until you let them out.' 'Thank you Dad, at least I get some privacy', I heard Chaos chuckle in my head, 'here comes one right now, goodbye for now Percy.' 'Bye Dad.' I spoke back to him in my head as I heard someone approach "Well, I guess being your brother is good for me for once, now move out of my way so I can get in." John said as he tried to push past me. I shoved back and he fell onto his butt like a child, "This is my cabin, if you remember rightly you don't get a cabin until you were claimed, but if you want to, be my guest. But just to warn you, if I decide I don't want you in, you will be trapped in a dirty cabin until I release you." He paled and murmured about how he didn't even want to stay in a place with me in anyway, but with a glare from me he ran off. I walk inside of my cabin and decide to explore my own personal universe.

I walked around and found that the cain was more like a palace. I found a massive kitchen; room with a massive tv, big couch and the newest game console; personal gym and multiple massive bedrooms, although they were plain, were more luxurious than any I had ever seen before. There was a king sized bed in each room, a plasma tv, a walk-in closet and a glowing portal on the wall. I chose my room and walked over to find a note on my bed.
'Son,' it read, 'the rooms are for your friends that decide to help you. Each room will adapt to the owners preferences and the portal will take a person to wherever they want, eventually you will be able to create your own portals.
From your family.' I looked around my room and saw the walls shimmer as they changed colour. Eventually, the walls had changed into a sea green colour with a giant fish tank is the place of a wall and a wall filled with pictures of me ands Thalia and the rest of my friends. I lay down on my bed and thought about the weeks leading up to my execution, me and Thalia were spending each day together, walking by the lake or just sat in the branches of her tree, making up for lost time that i spent with Annabeth and her with the hunters. My mind turned sour as I thought of them, how Thalia thought of them as sisters, how Artemis became one of the closest people to her heart, and she betrayed her. Thals would have trusted Artemis with her life and when she found happiness with me, Artemis sought to take it away from her, take Thalia away from me. My fists clenched at the memory but the soothing voice of my mother, Gaia, resounded through my head, 'Be at ease Percy, soon we will begin your training and that will give you mastery over your powers. Now sleep, your friends will be meeting you and you will not get true rest for a while.' And after that, I drifted off to sleep.
I woke up a few hours later and sensed it was 11:30, now don't ask me how i knew, I guess being a son of the primordial of time does that for you, I rose out of my bed in a daze and walked out of the cabin/palace and climbed onto the roof of the cabin's shell to wait for them to arrive. I heard doors creak and mumbling voices come from around me and shortly after amassing into the group of people I had been waiting for. As they approached, I could hear excited chatter between Clarisse and Silena. It was obvious now that now mater how much she hid it, she ha missed Silena more than she let on, the look of glee was telling of this. As they reached the door to my cabin, they were about to knock as I dropped behind them and said, "Oh hey guys!" For some war veterans, they sure scared easily. They turned around immediately and Clarisse had a death glare aimed at me. "Prissy,I sear to the Gods..." Clarisse began.
"Yeah, yeah each Clarisse, I know." I snorted in response. We both looked at each other and cracked smiles. "Well the, if we're gonna go inside, I must give you permission. So here we go, I Perseus Nova," which was my new name since I wasn't born as Sally's son, "Give permission for these 7 to enter my Cabin at any time." A slight golden glow surrounded them for the blink of an eye and then it was gone. We walked through the door way and the group behind me gasped in awe, just as I had only hours before. Beckendorf who was amazed by how it would work immediately asked in a shocked tone "What...How...I mean, how is it this big inside but only tiny on the outside.?"
"Well, as you know, I am now the son of the primordial council, my mother Gaia sends her apologies by the way. On the council is Chaos, the creator, so he has made me my own pocket universe in which this cabin is located. If I don't give you permission to enter, you get locked in the actual cabin until I let you out." I explained to him, getting a whistle of approval in return. "So, we are here because I want to tell you somethings. First of all, we are going to wait out and train for the next few years until the time of the Battle of Manhattan, we need to prepare to overthrow the Gods especially since you guys and girls will be their replacements." Looks of shock and heavy intakes of breath told me how they reacted to that, "I want to ask you if you want to stay in my cabin with me, you will each get your own room and be able to personalise it, so who wants to?." I asked the group of them. After just a few seconds, nods of heads confirmed their desire to stay in the cabin. "Right, thanks for keeping me company guys. Final statement," I looked at Luke, "I know you have once again stolen the lightening bolt and Hades helm. This time, I can understand why and agree with it, although I didn't want it happening to Hades, you now know that Kronos was just using you. I want you to tell him that you found more powerful people to help you in your quest and you don't want his help anymore. Don't worry about any retaliation from him, we will fight for you and my parents will be training me so that I am better prepared." I looked around the room and saw the look of guilt on Luke's face as well as the tiredness of the others. "Go and pick your rooms now and it will change to whatever you what. In the morning we will meet up and head to breakfast where I will announce the changes and how you guys will be staying with me." And with that, we all left to our rooms and climbed into our beds, quickly falling asleep.

With war brewing on the horizon, Silas' plan to become a hero clashes with the harsh reality of conflict. Torn between contradicting emotions, he will have to reconsider his perceptions of both good and evil. Does the end truly never justify the means? Note from author (13.09.20): Sentences have been shortened, less commata used. Paragraphs have been split up.

Will hopefully be able to write more from now on, university has been kinda rough these days. 08.04.21 Chapter 16 & 17 has been written. Beginning will be rewritten (again) to start with chapter 3. Chapter 1 & 2 will be shown through reocurring dreams / nightmares. 10.08.21 Rewriting of the first arc is complete and has been proofread twice. Plot of rest of book one is 80% complete. Will publish chapters once first book is finished and proofread. 06.12.21 Second arc is finished (chapter 24/31-33). First draft will likely be finished around February, after which I will edit a few suggestions of my beta readers and publish it on RR.
