–Council of the Godheads, Olympus–
"We will now convene this meeting of the Council of the Godheads! Thank you to everyone who could make it. And thank you to our friends in Olympus for volunteering to host the council meeting here." Bast spoke loudly for all to hear. While she preferred to be in her panther form. The other Godheads took her less seriously when she was in animal form. She hated being referred to as some "Minor African Goddess".
"We usually only meet every few hundred years? What is the reason that you and Olympus have pushed this meeting forward?" Nuwa, the mother Goddess of China asked. She was an incredibly beautiful Goddess dressed in silken robes. "Especially since there's not many of us left."
The Council of Godheads used to have many more members, but many Gods disappeared along with the Biblical factions when the world was cut in half. Whether all of those Gods and Goddesses chose to leave or not, none of the remaining members of the council knew. They all suspected that at least a few of the more powerful Gods had to have helped the Biblical God perform his ritual though.
CRACKLE! BOOM!
Thunder echoed over the skies of Olympus. Zeus sat angrily on his throne clenching his teeth. "I don't know about the Kitty, but my Master Bolt has disappeared! Poseidon's brat stole it and must have turned traitor against your Pantheon! Only another God could be hiding the boy from our sight!" He looked around the amphitheater wearily. He believed that one of the Gods or Goddesses in this room was against him. 'Maybe they all were!?' He thought in paranoia!
"My son did no such thing! He was clearly kidnapped by whoever stole your weapon, brother!" Poseidon bellowed back angrily. Rain clouds formed overhead with his fury at being falsely accused.
"Lies! I will fry your son with a million volts when I find him!" Zeus yelled and more lighting echoed in the sky.
"Try it and I'll drown Olympus in a never ending flood!" Poseidon yelled back. "He's the first child I've had in hundreds of years that's not a complete waist! I won't let you kill him!" Posidon's other children were all disgusting disappointments, and he was glad for their deaths, but Percy was different. Percy had potential that surpassed even Hercules, and Poseidon wanted his son to grow into an even stronger weapon for him!
"Can you two not fight? You're making us look more pathetic than we usually are. I don't even know why I bothered showing up to this meeting…" Hades muttered with a tired sigh. Truth be told, he was a bit baffled. He gave Percy the Master Bolt and the kid earnestly seemed like he was going to return it. And then Percy disappeared along with Ares and Artemis…
Zeus turned to all the gods in the amphitheater. "You see! You see what I have to deal with!? My own brothers dare to speak to their king this way!"
"Heh! That sounds like a problem for your own Pantheon. Why should we care about you blokes or your magical sparky stick?" Lugh, the Godking of the Celts asked. "I have more important things I could be doing now. Like drinking!" He added with a cheer.
"You Irish Gods are always drinking!" Quetzalcoatl yelled across the amphitheater. She was a voluptuous Goddess from Mexico and was dressed in her traditional feathered outfit. It left little to the imagination.
"I know and it's awesome! You all should try it. You'd be amazed how few problems in life can't be solved by getting shitfaced and just saying fuck it." Lugh replied with a laugh. He held out his hand and a golden flask appeared. He uncorked it and downed the whole thing in one go!
"Now that's something I can get behind!" Tenenet, the Egyptian Goddess of alcohol cheered. She conjured up a bottle of beer and started chugging it merrily.
"What the hell are you even doing here Tenenet? You're just a minor Egyptian Goddess. Where is Ra?" Altjira, the Australian God of dreams asked.
Tenenet giggled as she placed the empty bottle down. "Hic…Ra? He was too busy doing literally anything else to attend this sad little club. He told me to come in his place." She said while conjuring another bottle.
Other Gods in the stands started to loudly complain about Ra and his audacity. They demanded that she leave. She just drowned out all the noise with her bottle.
Bast sighed. She was one of the two who had requested this council meeting. She'd need to present her problem before all the Gods left in anger or got too drunk to even care. She stood up from her seat. "Everyone, please listen. Some of you might not be aware of it yet, but the Biblical faction has returned! What's more!? They blatantly exposed themselves to the humans across the world!" Bast complained.
