Two Months Later

Third Person POV:


Perseus put his hand on the door of his father's ice palace, he looked into the reflective surface and smiled. His features have altered slightly, his hair looks windswept, his eyes colder and sharper than before, his canine teeth on his top jaw have grown to the point where whenever he smiles they stick out making him look more animalistic. Perseus then opened the door and walked into the palace, making his way toward the throne room where he knew his father, Koios, was at with his mother Phoebe.

"Ahhh, Perseus, I'm glad you could join us!" Perseus heard his father say when he entered the throne room

"I wouldn't want to miss the family reunion father" Perseus says with a wolfish smile as he takes a seat in his throne besides his mothers

"My son, you have changed since I've last saw you. You look more..." Phoebe started before trailing off

"Wolfish? Animalistic?" Perseus supplied and Phoebe nodded

"Yes, what happened?" She asked, curiosity filling her voice

Perseus smiled.

"Well, around two months ago, Selene crashed in the snow because of a powerful blizzard. I went to her and helped her get back on course, so in return she made me her warrior. This blessing gave me an animal form and that's why my features look more wolfish. Also, as her warrior, she gave me a sword" Perseus gestures to the sheathed sword on his waist

"I see, very well, as long as you stay safe" Phoebe said with a small smile to which Perseus nodded

"Of course, mother" Perseus looked at Koios "Now, shall we move onto why this meeting was called?"

Koios nods as he waves his hand and the three thrones shift so the three beings are facing each other in a rough circle.

"The reason I have called you two here is, I wanted to talk about the upcoming war with Kronos' children. I wanted to know where you two stand and who's side to take if we should choose sides" Koios said and Perseus looked deep in thought


Perseus' POV:

"Well, I know Selene and Helios will be neutral. And you can't forget what Oceanus' warning to Kronos. In my opinion, we shouldn't side with Kronos, but his children, from what I hear, they are powerful but will they be able to defeat the Titan council? That is what I'm unsure about" I explained and my mother looked at me with a silent pride

"You make a good point Perseus, but how will we know that Kronos' kin wont attack us?" my father asked

"I was thinking about going to where the gods are setting up their main base and talk to them. Of course, if push comes to shove I will defend myself but I will make sure I will return home safely." I suggest and my parents nod

"So, we shall stay neutral unless we are attacked by either side" Koios says and I nod

"Yes, and I will go to the young immortals and see that they know where the House of Koios stands in this war." I say as I stand up and put my hood over my head

"oh, and Perseus, I hope you know that, your cloak is tattered at the bottom." My mother says and I chuckle

"I know mom, I like it that way, it adds more mystery to me" I say as a blizzard forms around me and I will myself to travel away from my home in the north down to where I heard the gods were at
