Meeting is in Order [All Olympians]

[Deleted]

It wasn't time for the annual summer council meeting of the Olympians, but Jupiter knew this was not something that could wait. His father was back, and not in some silly boys body this time. His father had his full form, and was quickly gathering power. This did not seem to be the six year long battle that had raged before. He seemed to implement what he had learned in a very short time, short by god standards at any rate. Found some crazy daughter of Pluto again, and picked up a few more not very stable ones at that. He didn't like Mars, or his twin sister, but the fact that little pest of Trivia killed in his camp rubbed him the wrong way. That a grandchild of Mars went off the deep end and murdered five of the Romans in his camp, angered him. That those very individuals tortured and murdered an innocent girl they even disarmed before doing so. He knew what was happening in his camp. People believed he didn't, and that he hadn't a care in the world. They were wrong.

Standing at the head of the council he waited and watched as the other immortals appeared in the room. He was early, very early. He had even arrived without Lady Juno, the absolute love of his life. He hadn't even talked to her about this meeting, perhaps she wondered what he was worrying about and mulling over. Perhaps even the uncharacteristic lack of flirting. This decision was not one to take lightly, and he wanted to think long and hard about it alone. None of those outside voices, though they can be of great help at times. His eyes scanned the room, everyone was present. Even his brother from the underworld needed to be here. Pluto would certainly be very affected by this, given the child he had in rehabilitation in new Rome. He waited, watching, letting the dust settle and the murmurs to die down before saying a word.

“Everyone here is aware of the current situation, that we again look at the oncoming storm that brings fighting and destruction.” At times he could be a bit of a drama queen, but this time he also wished to stall. In case he should change his mind. In case he deemed this a poor idea. Despite his great amount of thought on the subject. “On this council, I propose an amendment to the rules in place. We need our children in this battle, as we needed them last battle. We'd not be here without them, my proposition is we be more of what we should. Parents. I propose a modest drop in the restrictions on interactions between demigods and their parents that we might help them.”

Jupiter calling for the Olympians wasn't a good thing, it had never been. In the past he always called them when problems knocked at Olypmus' gates. but as an Olympian and a son of Jupiter, Apollo couldn't just not attend if his father had just called for all of them. Also this time with war almost at their doors, it would be insane not to go to the council. Jupiter would think that any god not present was a god against him, and that would meant severe punishments for those gods after war.

So for several reasons, Apollo just walked into the room and looked at his father sitting at the head of the places, as always. Apollo took his seat and then looked around, some gods were already there, so he just nodded at them. He also noticed more chairs, so Jupiter had called not only the 12, but also minor gods too. That was weird, Jupiter usually didn't take them into account, well he didn't either, but that wasn't something good, something like that brought them problems last war. He commented some stuff with Mercury and others with Mars, also his sister Diana and his uncle Pluto. He missed Neptune in there.

Then he looked at his father and listened at his words. he nodded at his words and then when he finally said they could be with their children, apollo smiled widely, thinking on his sons, daughter and granddaughters. "that means we can help them, we can advice them and really act as parents?, it was about a time!" he asked and then smiled, knowing that if they had been close to their children since the begining, then demigods as Pluto's daughter or Vulcan's son wouldn't have been so far from them and betray them.

Mercury was already supposed to be on Olympus when his father convened the meeting. He had seen this before, talks of war and warnings to stay away from the demi-gods and let them live their own lives. Not that he payed to attention to the rules, Mercury was an avid believer that rules were made to be broken. Mercury's eyes raised up into his fedora as he walked in the chamber. His father was there without Juno? This must have been really important for him to be here without his usual piece of nagging arm candy. Juno wasn't so bad. Not that he could blame her for being mad. At the same time he rather despised the way she treated the Demi-gods. Cursing them just because they were born to their parents. Goddess of family indeed.

Mercury strode across the room, nodding at Apollo. The god was slightly airheaded, but after all, Apollo wasn't one of the worst ones out there. Mars was a pain in the neck, but at least he would be here. Mercury shook his head, any god not here, they would be claimed against Jupiter. Well Neptune wasn't here. Mercury had been doing his own thing, trying to find out where Neptune was being kept. He missed his Uncle Fish face. Who didn't like the laid back god of the sea? Even his kids were fairly chilled out for the most part.

When Jupiter spoke, Mercury couldn't help but roll his eyes. "So you're agreeing to do what we've been telling you all along? Brilliant." His voice was low, the men on either side of him could probably hear him. Not that Mercury cared, he always had a good deal to do with the mortal world. He swung his feet over the side of his comfy throne, stretching. Looking at his dad squarely in the face, Mercury spoke, "Don't get me wrong, Father, but what brought about this brilliant scheme of yours? There's a catch, there's always a catch. Is this going to be a perminant amendment or are you just going to revoke it once the war is over?" No, Mercury was going to keep doing what he could within reason for his children.

Vulcan appeared on the outside door of the room, the hall was far more quiet than that of the opposing room. He never found his family to be essential he had all he needed his forges and in the woman who had bore his children. Vulcan had never been a popular god among the Olympians and he didn`t mind that, he had no real power here within this room thankfully. There where very few things that the god cared for and being in a position of power was not one of those. The god moved and opened the door with little to no ease steadying himself carefully. He moved to enter the room with the other three gods a slight limp taking over each step yet he held his head high with each step. When he reached his chair the good sat down carefully listening to the conversation. Becoming parents was that really what the king of the gods wanted them to do? Vulcan sat in his chair his beard sparking to life at the idea of having to become the one thing he never had....a father. He sat silently letting the males talk among themselves interestingly enough he cleared his throat and spoke,  "We risk the lives of our children once more?" The god had a hard time wrapping his head around the idea of sending his youngest daughter into battle. She was a roman no doubt but a young one at that.

Everyone had their own thing, Zeus had always found some way to help his child, Hercules had been a prime example of that. Now here stood the man who stopped him from being there for his children, for each boy or girl who he had to claim from a distance. Vulcan grit his teeth and listened to mercury and he was right there was always a catch. He watched his father with dark eyes, he would not walk into their lives only to be commanded away when the war was over, he did not want to risk anymore of his children to Pluto`s Domain. The flame on his beard flickered as he grew impatient and more concerned not only for the safety of camp Jupiter but for the sanity of the gods as well. His fingers ran over the smooth metal of his throne, he wasn`t sure if this was the best move for the gods, most of the damage was done when they pretended as if the children did not exist at birth. While his children deserved more deep down the god of fire could not bring himself to attempt to mend wounds with his children. Each of them had chosen their own paths and now he had to watch it unfold if this had come about many months ago perhaps he could have changed some of the events. His dark eyes looked around between the gods, there was so much to take into consideration.

Juno walked into the council room and it was that time for the summer council meeting. This time she had known about Saturn being back and her dear brother not being there. However Jupiter seemed to be stubborn in needing to ask the demigods for advice. It probably made him feel weaker but Juno knew all along they would probably need the demigods again because last time the gods barely stood a chance. The woman loved her husband but after talking to prometheus, She understood the direness of their situation. Saturn had a relic on they had created and now was going to use it to take the gods down. Juno was not a warrior like the others and her talents were better suited for caring for the married women and young girls. She walked in and her rome garb adorned her body. Her hair up into a ponytail this time and her lovely crown placed Gently on her head. This was more of a family reunion which would probably lead to them bickering and fighting. She sat down taking the spot next to her husband. She listened to the man speak about being lenient on the no interaction rule. The queen of the gods just decided to fiddle with her hair since she was not one for having extra-martial affairs. She had no demigod kids so she saw no true reason to go see them but to warn them of impending doom which they already knew of.


"Yes Apollo, It means you all are allowed to be actual parents this time. However try not to mess it up. My husband is not one for failure." Juno commented to Apollo when he asked if they could be parents. The woman loved the ideals of some of the gods wanting to actually be a parent but Juno didn't like the idea they were sleeping around or even cheating on spouses. Her husband being the biggest cheater she knew. "I can't speak for my husband but I may not be happy the kids even exist in the first place, But i would rather you all be real parents instead of distancing yourself like my dear husband keeps suggesting. It is the lack of interaction and was seems like a lack of concern that the demigods Go to Saturn to begin with." Juno Spoke with all sincerity in her voice. She was just going to put in her two cents every once and a while but mostly let her family bicker.
