Yeah, she will unintentionally drive the Olympians to the point of insanity.

All the secrets and the gossip and the fun they had- all of it felt right over her head.
By remaining to you mean remaining on the field? What disqualifies them to require them to get off? Hard to escape with grievous injury after all.The fact that the activities director had to declare remaining off limits should have been warning enough - seriously, what kind of hell hole was this?
On one hand, badass Luna is badass.
On the other, yikes, Mr. D is going to be really, really fucking pissed, and I dont even want to imagine the kind of divine tantrum some of the gods(*cough*Zeus*cough*) are going to throw on that Olympic meeting at the end of the Quest in regards to smiting some children.
Thats... not quite how I would describe it, while the gods in PJO can indeed be cowardly, obstinate and all other kinds of shitty things, it is important to keep in mind that death isnt really something gods think about and thus worry about much, thats more a mortal thing.Eh, what's he going to do? No god would dare touch her because even gods fear death. For all their bluster and posturing PJ gods are such whimps
Damn, I kinda wanted to see that fight. Sun Fury Apollo against Bounty Hunter Ares.
Better yet, all three of them did.
:una and Bianca were right there with him, along for the ride just like he was, and neither of them (Ahem, Bianca) could blow him off this time around because they were busy with homework or found it boring.
"Monsters," He said at last, looking all too uncomfortable about it. "There have been stories and rumours hovering about for some time now. Dracaena, hell hounds, empousa - even more. All kinds of monsters moving across the country in big, big numbers, and all of them heading west - to San Fransisco
"Always am." The giant said gruffly. "But you're the one heading west, and no matter how good you are, Luna, no one is safe in San Franciso these days. Promise me you'll stay away from it?"
"And risk throwing them out of the frying pan and into the fire. Believe me, I'm well aware of the irony." Her brows furrowed and her eyes narrowed. For maybe the first time since he'd met her, Luna looked... not angry, but closer to it than he'd ever seen her get (closer than he'd ever thought she could get. Today was a day firsts all around it seemed, and only a few of them were any good) "Ours is a world of extremes. If I have to choose between them being in danger where I can help and them bieng in danger where I wouldn't even be aware of it..."
She tr
"Irrelevant my ass. He fought the Minatoaur, the Hydra, Polyphemus-"
"Union Station can't be too far from here." Percy offered. "We could catch a direct line and be at San Fransico by tomorrow."

You also misspelled "Zoë" as "Zoe" around 1/3rd of the time.
so Primordials. how strong are they compared to the PJO Gods? i mean lorewise they could clapped the gods, seemingly how Nyx seemed to make Zeus runs hit pants down in fear, but was kinda curious how PJO views them
Yea in myth Hypnos primordial of dreams/sleep got on the wrong side of zeus, so he ran to nyx's mansion and Zeus was too afraid to follow, goes to show that even the gods fear the dark.so Primordials. how strong are they compared to the PJO Gods? i mean lorewise they could clapped the gods, seemingly how Nyx seemed to make Zeus runs hit pants down in fear, but was kinda curious how PJO views them
dunno how Thanatos would fare against the godlings though. "Death" don't really matter to gods right? at least not in the normal way.Depends. Mostly on how, when, where and against whom they fight. As Thanatos said, he is all but powerless against a mortal (still pretty dangerous but not instant-death). When they are not holding back? They will obliterate whatever it was that angered them
Which is exactly why he can fight them, any who can die of normal causes are fated to end up in his domain eventually which is why mortals can' be harmed by him(dem rules are weird), technically they fight him every day for the life they live so hes not allowed to cut them short, but Immortals... well gods/titans/other immortals and so on have never NEEDED to fight death for their life and so the rules that restrain Thanatos from cutting short the lives of mortals have no effect on him here, if he wants the death of these godlings, then he needs to do so personally, otherwise they never die.dunno how Thanatos would fare against the godlings though. "Death" don't really matter to gods right? at least not in the normal way.
As some already said, it heavily depends. Primordials like Tartarus and Gaea were treated as beings which could not be dealt with by anything but Fate backed bullshit combo wombo by a bunch of very potent Demi-Gods with God backing, with Tartarus even stating that not a single of the Olympians was ever even worth enough of his attention to manifest a physical Avatar (though mind you he did manifest one for Percy but thats its own can of worms in reagards to powerscaling).so Primordials. how strong are they compared to the PJO Gods? i mean lorewise they could clapped the gods, seemingly how Nyx seemed to make Zeus runs hit pants down in fear, but was kinda curious how PJO views them
Too be fair, Odin became King of Asgardians after doing that.EDIT: Unless your a barking madman that scoops out your own eye, hangs yourself from a primordial tree, and stabs yourself in your side in an attempt at ritual suicide for 9 days and nights straight on a self given quest for knowledge and wisdom.
Yeah. Apollo is basically the only Olympian who's acting in his own best interests. He wants to save Artemis, because of course he does, and this is the best way to do it. Theoretically he could even join the Titans and I see no reason for them to not accept him. It's not like he deposed them the first time around. They would need to find someone other than Artemis to hold the sky though. I suggest Ares.Wow are the Olympians just fucking themselves. Like it takes a special level of sheer stupidity and stubbornnes to basically pull a Olympu: CIvil War when you know an enemy is currently rising.
The Aegis is some really scary and potent stuff, but Thanatos doesn't give a shit.The clash of arms lasted only a beat before Thanatos plowed forward and through it with his weight and deflected her spear with such strength that the goddess's guard was blown wide open. She staggered back several paces and tried to compensate for the sudden vulnerability with a raised forearm, brandishing Aegis in all its wretched glory.
This wasn't the mere duplicate Thalia Grace wielded, but the genuine article. The original shield of millennia gone by, the first and most horrible incarnation of Medusa's head immortalized in service of the goddess who'd twisted her shape into monstrosity by the craftsmanship of Hephaestus himself. Enemy lines and armies entire had broken and fled when the wisdom Goddess carried the shield into battle, and such was the terror the gorgons facsimile inspired that even immortals did not gaze into it lightly.
Faced with it at point-blank range, Thanatos didn't even flinch.
You'd think she'd account for that given the whole goddess of strategy and the fact that she's fought lots of nonhuman opponents, she likely missed it due to getting cocky.A worthy tactic, but she'd miscalculated - she failed to account for the wings.
Olympus do be like that.Like him and the little wisdom goddess, Apollo and Hermes had spared one another no words before leaping into battle. Perhaps the sons of Zeus simply knew each other too well to attempt diplomacy. Or perhaps they were simply that eager to spill blood and sow carnage at one another's expense.
Considering the capricious nature of the Olympians, Thanatos knew that the latter was just as likely as the former.
Okay so I have the feeling that it's a bit tricker for Primordials to make avatars since they're so strong so they mostly don't bother.So long as he continued to fight on Luna's behalf, even indirectly, it would not do for Apollo to fall. For all his power, there was only so long that he could maintain a corporeal form on such short demand, after all.
Athena is still good at what she does, landing even a minor inconsequential blow on death is impressive.Black, inky shadows seeped out of the trivial wound, and he raised his hand to trace it in surprise even as the flesh knit back together nigh-instantaneously.
That she'd managed to land a blow, even one so inconsequential as that...
Thanatos can acknowledge talent, but Athena is overselling herself massively which makes sense arrogance and hubris is her thing."Your fortitude is impressive, daughter of Metis," He acknowledged with a tilted head. "But it is often wiser to know when to lay down your arms and surrender to a superior foe."
"Indeed." She agreed with a level voice, not a hint of unease to her. She twisted her hand, and her spear once again coalesced in her grip from motes of light. "And it is wiser still to never underestimate a seemingly inferior opponent, lest they strike you down when you least expect it."
Well, then.
"Fair enough."
The only warning was the smell of ozone. It overcame them suddenly, clogging and overwhelming, heavy enough to drown in.
Zeus beating the shit out of his kid, a classic move on his part.But she could see Apollo, somehow, and she could see the way the lightning struck at him, the bolts burning through his chest.
She couldn't hear a thing, but she could still see the sun god scream.
Okay mysterious voice giving advice is concerning.You can save them. Him too. You can save all of them.
Now that sounded like a good idea. But Bianca had no idea what to do.
I can show you. Reach below, child.
Welp shit looks like they're going into the Labyrinth.
Prophecy line fuffiled.
Welp looks like Hecate is putting a finger on the scale.No, the voice that had caused this whispered in her ear, one final time, You made a choice, as all who come to one of my crossroads must. Now fall, and walk the path you paved yourself, daughter of Hades.
Olympus is a cluserfuck waiting to blow up on itself and only reason it's survived this long is likely due to the Three Fates propping it up.Wow are the Olympians just fucking themselves. Like it takes a special level of sheer stupidity and stubbornnes to basically pull a Olympu: CIvil War when you know an enemy is currently rising.
They're all out here trying to fight Fate while Apollo is willing to accept the consequences as long as his sister gets out alive and not trapped forever.Yeah. Apollo is basically the only Olympian who's acting in his own best interests. He wants to save Artemis, because of course he does, and this is the best way to do it.

Makes sense that Apollo has a different view on Fate and its plans, he is the God of Prophecy among other things after all.They're all out here trying to fight Fate while Apollo is willing to accept the consequences as long as his sister gets out alive and not trapped forever.
