"Roman what?" Percy asked, clearly confused
"I apologize, but you'll understand in due time" Sakayanagi offered
Chiron looked deep in thought, eventually he backed his hind legs further into the elevator, making more room
Taking this as an invitation, Sakayanagi walked in, smiling the entire time
Horikita tapped my shoulder and motioned for me to lower my head
"Is that.... Sakayanagi?" She whispered
I simply nodded in response
Horikita wasn't shocked at the news, but rather, welcomed it
Chiron looked over his shoulder, eyeing the strange group we had formed, and pressed the button up to Olympus
The low humming of the elevator began, and cheap soul music began to play. It was the beginning of an uncomfortable ride.

The ding of the ride ending, and the slow opening of the doors signaled the end of our awkward journey up.
It was a reward that even the gods couldn't give us.
"Go in front of me children, you'll be the ones the gods want to see" Chiron ushered us forward, he gave a grave nod at Sakayanagi as we began moving
Passing the doors to the throne room, we were met with an empty room. The thrones held no occupant, visible confusion spread.
Behind us, an audience had grown, demigods and nature spirits alike. They seemed to have been eager to see us be rewarded, but were now as confused as us.
It was then, I was hit with great pressure. As if the weight of the world was pressed upon my shoulders
My knees began to shake, but I held firm. The others around me buckled under the pressure, beginning to kneel; only Percy remained on his feet like me.
"They're here" Sakayanagi said to no one in particular, despite the pressure making her kneel, her smile was still plastered over her face
*BAM*
The sound of lightning striking the largest throne in the middle drew everyone's attention.
A ray of light followed the blast, as it dissipated, a figure could be seen now sitting on the throne
He appeared to be an old man, in his late 40's, he had long black hair and exuded an aura of true power. He seemed like a regular old CEO of a major company, except for his eyes.
They were a deep blue, and almost seemed to shock your very soul
"All hail Zeus, God of the Sky and Thunder, King of the Gods" Chiron commanded, under labored breaths
Not sure what the point of saying that was though, from what I could see everyone was already kneeling due to the pressure
Suddenly, another beam of light struck the throne to the right of Zeus's
"Why must you use your powers on mortals, those that have saved us no less" a voice talked from the light
As the beam faded, a man in his late 30's appeared. He had black hair and green eyes. His outfit made him seem like he just ce back from fishing. It was obvious who this was.
"Saved us? Pah! I could have defeated that weakened form of father myself" Zeus spat
"Complete folly, you know if you had entered the fight, father could have used his full power. It is because he faced against mortals that he was forced to follow the divine law."
