Seems my good intentions

Always crash and burn

"Welcome to the underworld!" Some Apollo kid gave his level best at a football announcer.

Princess relented, "Finally. Only took us the last 8 hours to get here."

"Can we revisit the no-dying-on-screen policy again?" Grover asked, clinging to Prissy.

Get it together, goat. It's the public image, at least. Not that this whole gig is very good at portraying you as very brave, but you have the image of the protectors riding on you right now. I know Coach Hedge wouldn't allow any slacking when it comes to something that important. Besides, you'll be fine.

Annabeth only voiced that last part. however.

Everything I try to do will fail

"No way, this animation is even cuter than the last few!"

The sentiment was enthusiastically echoed between two certain cabins, alright, and one extremely embarrassed prissy.

Never once will I prevail

Going wrong at every turn

"You!"

Even Athena sighed before responding to her hot-headed father, "The boy doesn't have the bolt, father."

"But he did get that bag from Ares."

I suddenly got very uncomfortable as the whole mess hall turned on my table. Thanks a lot, Princess.

When my father finally spoke, it was with complete ease and control. "Coincidentally."

The outrage was instantaneous and loud. It was an outcry and a mob. It wasn't directed at me, but I sure felt like I could have related to those British soldiers ordered to stand guard before those enraged patriots as they were hounded with more than hate for what they just happened to be associated with. I was not going to have my brothers and sisters scrutinized and punished for what we had no part in. If my father is innocent, he can fight for it, but he will be fighting alone.

I stood.

Silence met me halfway.

I am a warrior with the rush of war in my veins. I have the control of the thousands of leaders that have come before me and the choice of the one who needs to make one right now.

"Mr. D. I request that for the duration of the time that Ares is under scrutiny and possible trial, that he be removed from my table."

"Kid."

"I am not proclaiming any loyalty to anyone. My cabin and I are too close to the issue at hand to think clearly. In order to remain as impartial as possible, can Ares please be moved to your table, director?"

One god does not have the jurisdiction to move another from their place, but on camp grounds, the director's word is final.

"Ares, at the request of my campers, I will ask you to join me."

Ares knocked my shoulder as he got up and left. I didn't so much as look over at him.

"May I request that we postpone any further aggravation and let it continue to gain more information first before we say anything that can't be taken back?" Luke once again deescalated the situation as I resumed sitting.

I've already said everything I can never take back. After all I had said and believed in nothing mattering except loyalty to your parents. Maybe war really would have torn us apart. My whole belief had to shatter upon the half a minute of maybe's. Every second this goes on, I am more and more terrified by what would have happened had it all just played out how it was supposed to go.
