"PLEASE," DEMETER SAID SNOBBISHLY. "AS IF HIROKI COULD LAND SOMEONE LIKE HIM." The little kid—well, the god of sleep—turned around and glared at Demeter, cheeks burning like melted gold in a crucible. "Excuse me," Hypnos shrieked indignantly, voice cracking like a prepubescent boy. "Hiroki is extremely lovely! Poseidon's spawn is lucky that my son even glanced in his direction!"
"Heard him, Persephone? His son, lovely? Ha!" Demeter laughed scornfully. "He's a traitor to all of Olympus, Hypnos dear!"
Queen Persephone didn't look like she was paying attention to her mother, studying Percy curiously with warm brown eyes, her gown blooming with various flowers.
The god of sleep huffed, crossing his arms. "We can't all be perfect." He said simply.
"A kid of yours is mediocre at best," Demeter muttered, adjusting the dried grass woven into her black hair.
Nico continued to kneel beside Percy, but Percy wasn't in the mood to deal with Hades' crap. He glared up at the god of the dead. "What do you want, Hades?"
"To talk, of course." The god twisted his mouth in a cruel smile. "Didn't Nico tell you?"
"So, this whole quest was a lie." Percy scowled. "Nico brought me down here to get me killed."
"Oh, no," Hades said. "I'm afraid Nico was quite sincere about wanting to help you. The boy is as honest as he is dense. I simply convinced him to take a small detour and bring you here first."
Demeter looked at Percy. "You get betrayed by the love of your life and suddenly nobody can be trusted. Shame on you, Perseus Jackson." She turned to her daughter. "I keep telling you, daughter. Demigods are just terrible—"
"Father," Nico spoke over Demeter, "you promised that Percy would not be harmed. You said if I brought him, you would tell me about my past—about my mother."
