Imagine entering the Ball floor and being spotted by your nemesis immediatly. You are wearing a ancient greek inspired gown, that makes feel like a warrior godess without neglecting your femenine and grecious assets.

He walkes toward you with a strange look that you couldnt quite interprete. It wasnt his usual despiteful frown. This time he seems... almost gentle. He tends to kiss your hand, which you accepts to preserve your dignity in front of the society. He gets up and asks you for a dance. You hesitated. Why should you accept and give him this pleasure and honnor? This man does not deserve even a look from you. He is every single thing you loathe in this world. But somehow... somehow the voice inside you got the best of you. "Yes".

His hand on you hips. Your fingers interlaced. The deep stare into each other's eyes. The place seemed empty. There were just you and him in the room. You. Him. And the music. Nothing else. The time passed quickly and slowly at the same time. It lasted one song, just the time to question your hatred for each other.

Life and death. Light and shadow. Instinct and pragmatism. Opposites attrack eath other since the dawn of time.

Persephone saw in Hades comfort and peace, he was forbidden for her, not only because she was signed up to be a maidden but because he incarnates the opposite of what she representes. Hades, on his side, felt like breathing again whenever Persephone stands near him, she makes him alive and heal his troubles and scars, she is his peace. In the end, love (or kidnapping) finds his way and they form the most terrifying but also loving godly couple.

In parallel, the sun and the shadows live and work together everyday. There is no light without darkness. The balance between them is undeniable and truly remarquable as the link between Nico and Will. Nico needs Will, with his chill vibe, thoughtfullness and protective behaviour. Will is to Nico his link to the real world, the world of light. On the other hand, Will was always looking for an escape from the light, that was kind of a burden for a Child of Apollo. Then, he saw Nico a gloomy little kid who doesnt give a #### about people comments' on him. Will saw Nico as an escape, where he could finally be himself and not a 24h surfer boy. They both embrace themself with their true selfs.

Then we have the confrontation between logic and instinct. The howl and her wisdom pushes Annabeth to let her instincts aside and encourage her to think efficiently about her actions, their consequences and their whereabouts. While, Percy follows blindly his instincts. I'm not saying that the guy is dumb, not at all, he is pretty smart ! But he prefers to follow unconsciently his feelings. Thats why he seems more impulsive than Annabeth. She priorities reason before feelings. And that is also why I think percabeth is a wonderful couple they complete each other.

I firmly disagree with that post.

Apollo explicitely said that Zeus couldn't change, and he even compared him to Nero ! Moreover, during the Olympians' meeting, we could sense that the 10 other olympians were not that convinced about zeus' words, they were even bored or just thinking about how many bullshits were coming out of his mouth. So, i think that Apollo know now that the real problem is Zeus' behaviour to the demigods, and that a frontal confrontation wouldnt work (hence his past trials). Indeed the only way is to protest with resistance acts, like form an alliance between Olympians who think the same way about the situation and plead à cause to Zeus, because à voice is better heard when it comes from several people. Or maybe, help more the demigods in their quests, of course by being disguised and in a subtel manner so that the CEO wont see much. Finally, the easiest way to show halfbloods that gods truly care about them is to come visit them at camp!

Part 1

As you may know most of nowadays civilisations have democracy as the main cornerstone of their functionning. However, democracia didn't appear like that out of the blue, it has grown to that fundment today from a starting point. This point being in athens, in Ancient Greece time, when the Olympians were at their finest moment of glory. Indeed, democracy itself was born from an evoltion, taking its origin from the past way to rule the city.

When we talked about Athens, it wasn't just referring to the city but also to the surrondings, so Athens was a polis. Instead of being rules by kings, the polis had an aristocratic group of men at his head. Hence, oligarchy as the name of thiq periode. But, tyranny and social unfairness resulted from this political system, thus it led Draco (a political mind of Athens) to write what it is considered the first common laws to all citizens of the polis. Of course, it is important to know for the rest of the series that, only Athenian men born from an Athenian family were considered citizens of the polis of Athens. The rest were women, who depended on citizen men, slaves, or simply foreigners coming from other cities.

So, the emperors made themselves minor gods and survived through the centuries because of their names that are engraved in history books. That led me to think about other names that was written on books and that went worldwide for years, hopefully more in the future... Obviously, I'm talking about the characters in the pjo univers.
