This, dear readers, should be the last teaser for chapter 35...next update will likely be the complete chapter, Olympus willing.

Remember: if you see the penguins, it's probably already too late.

Remember also that it's not treason against the divine if they wanted to betray you first, it's just a pre-emptive strike. At least, that's what you will be able to argue in court, provided Zeus doesn't incinerate you first under the chief of accusation 'being a filthy troublemaker'.

Enjoy!

So I expect several Satyr heads are going to roll following these events... On a different note the Huntress are the best ally the Coalition and the Triumvirate have. (1) Zoe refused to listen to Jackson and got 'corrupted' at night, and then proceed to spread the infection to some of her sisters (2) During the Second Quest refused to listen to Jackson and got corrupted by curses resulting in one death, and several transformations (3) With Winter Drakon their leader decided it was more important to kill an ally then the Drakon that was trying to kill them all (albiet she failed) (4) Were taunted and ignored Jackson causing numerous to fall in the Commodus Games, which was the entire plan (5) Harassed and Discriminated the only two members who developed self reflection following the Commodus Games until they were kicked out. So undermined their ability to actually become better (6) Refused to participate in the defense of the Gate (so far...) The worse part is at least (1), (4), and (6) are actively detrimental to their 'supposed' patron Goddess. At this point I would almost one of the Coalition or an agent is an actual Huntress, because I have difficulty believing this level of sabotage / incompetence is not deliberate.

That makes a lot of sense for their be a traitor in the ranks

Called the prince, but really now the perfect time to break the curse. Instead of revolting against your father who would help you if you worded your request right. After all mountain Olympus needs the help of Atlantis not the other way around. Goblin Zeppelin incoming dropping the deadly pay load... Wait what do you mean it was penguins!?! I thought we were in WOW!

(cackles evilly in the background) Ahem. You can't prove anything...so far!

What? No Atlantis and Triton’s father has just as much to risk as Olympus should the Coalition win. Poisiden really cannot hold his support hostage to get concessions from Zeus. Further more the question is who whether Olympus could even break the curse.

I can’t believe Thanatos and triton are parts of the coalition, really shows how the bad parenting of Poseidon and Hades that their immortal children are against them. Both favour their demigod children more and there’s a high chance both gods give more help to Perseus and his team especially now considering everything. Looks like someone most likely Perseus might have to compete in the games and trade himself for the twins. I wonder if hazel is also another soul reborn with special powers other than her normal ones.

*Blinks* "Brother, I could rally more support faster if we righted at least half the wronged parties on this list." Surf King states. "You are the king of Atlantis. Order them!" Yells Zeus. "My wife is in charge of the bank, not me, brother." The middle brother stares at his younger brother. "...Hand the list over," exhale Zeus. This is an easy example of how it could still happen.

Well remember a oracle has been free to act for years. The dirty laundry been dug up, skeleton freed from the closet, the forgotten artifacts found, the wrong people approached in the moment of weakness, and the fates dodged. Really Thanatos case seems to be the arrogant god that never got the spanking needed by dad cause he loved him.

I am sorry, but politely no. (1) Most of those wrong parties have been stewing for centuries at least and potentially over two millennia. Heck, without knowing the full line-up of the Triumvirate and the Coalition going about righting their wrongs, may only wind up strengthening their foes. Furthermore, even those who have been wronged, or those close to them, may still not pledge their support to Zeus and Olympus because their is nothing stopping Zeus or other Olympians from wronging them again when they are no longer needed. So they have to consider is the unknown world where one of the other factions wins preferable to a resurgent Olympus. (2) Again to my previous point is whether the gods can break the curse? To use an in-story example could Zeus, if he wanted to, restore Charybdis or even simple de-centaur Medea if he had the will. If the answer is a no or at least yes, but requires a lot of effort, the question than becomes can Olympus spare the resources to fix the situation and defend itself. Since no one is going to trust Zeus saying he will do it later. (3) Final point, yes maybe Zeus can be twisted to eventually do what you ask and right his wrongs, but not ever wrong part is Zeus' fault. Many of them are caused by his fellow gods like say.... Artemis. Maybe I am misjudging her, but it feels like she would rather be rendered mortal and die than admit fault. If that is the case, to my understanding, undoing a curse requires the assistance of the deity who cast the curse or someone sharing a domain and more powerful. Honestly what Olympus should be more focused on is not restitution to wrong parties, it is too late for that, but trying to deal with 'loyal' factions. The Satyrs and Huntresses should have been 100% loyal to the Olympus faction, but the mercenary Amazons and Hydra are doing more of them.

Weird Theory of the Month: Heracles is a Lord of the Coalition! (1) Greek Mythology he is the one who frees Prometheus from his original punishment for giving fire to Humanity (so connection to Prometheus) (2) I believe Perseus pointed out that even if Commodus ritual had worked he would not have stood a chance against Heracles. This could have been the coalition's attempt to make their agent appear more loyal while weakening Olympus (3) Heracles would in theory have a bone to pick with the gods. He had to perform his trials because he killed his family, but in some telling the madness is caused by Hera. So he may have been forced to kill his family by the very same goddess he had to make amends too. (3.1) Unless Artemis' man hate is more recent, I begin to question the truth behind the hunt for the Hind. (3.2) The entire debacle with Hippolyta's belt that the god's directly intervened with when he was going to succeed. (3.3) The fact that with all the interference it was allowed to be 12 trials instead of original 10. Just saying Heracles might not be as loyal as Zeus and Olympus suspect of there recently elevated ally.
