I said to Pontus "I have finished what you ask of me, so will you let me go". Pontus then appeared and replied "and where is the gauntlet" I showed him my new scyth and said "it merged with the primordial weapon". Pontus then nodded and said with a serious tone "fine you can keep that new weapon and go, But remeber boy if you dare try to go against me again you will suffer the consequences". I nodded and was going to turn around and head to crete but then pontus threw something to me and said "take this too" I caught it and looked at the black crystal. I was curious so i ask what it was and Pontus replied "Power that i cannot use but maybe you can, and its useless to me anyways". As he finished saying that I said "why are you giving me this" Pontus replied "Because you finished your task, and you deserve a reward for it". I then thanked Pontus and went in the opposite direction of Pontus. what I didnt know was i was heading west instead of north.
Meanwhile Hades cousin Helios was going around the seas on his charriot, trying to find Hades in the sea, but all he could spot was dead serbents which was kind of weird. Then he looked at the slash mark and started pinpointing all the serpents until he saw remains of a creature that was 10 times bigger than serpent he saw earlier. The giant serpent he saw turned to ashes and he thought this couldnt have been done by Hades couldnt have done all of this, he's only been out of cronus body for a month. Then Helios concluded that the serpants were probably killed by a stronger creature. So knowing that there was probably no clues. He would have to return to his sister with a bad news.
In Crete in a temple Zeus was talking to two titan ally. The titan were Prometheus and Epimetheus. Prometheus then said "We finished the fort in mount olympus" Then Zeus nodded and said "good and how about you epimetheus, were your group able to find hades". Epimetheus shooked his head then Zeus said then "we will begin the plan without him". Then Zeus left and headed to his mother. When he arrived Helios was there and was talking to Rhea. When Rhea notice Zeus presence she said "Have you find your brother". Zeus was shocked and thought how does his mother knew that Hades was gone, there was only one other person that knew this it was Metis... Knowing who told his mother Zeus frowned but simply replied with a "No we couldnt find him". Then Rhea replied with a angry tone "Then if you dont have anything leave" Zeus knew that Rhea loved her son and was probably angry. Zeus then left Rhea presence. Rhea then said to helios "The serpents were probably killed by Hades". Hearing this Helios said ''You really think that he's really that strong". Rhea with a weary expression said "yes I believe he maybe even stronger than zeus at this point" Helios nodded and and left his aunts presence.
