The Big Three (Bonus Track)

[CHIRON, spoken]
The big three Gods?
It's a long story, Percy
So let me start from the begging
Of time

You recall the story of Zeus and Kronos
When Zeus tricked his father into vomiting up his siblings
After that, the world was divided amongst Kronos' most powerful sons
What we call the big three Gods
Zeus
Hades
And Poseidon

And like any siblings, they have rivalries
When Zeus declared himself king of the Gods
His brothers grew jealous
Their jealousy led to some of the worst wars this world had ever seen

And so it went in war, after war, after bloody war
Until finally
They called a truce and family reunions had been peaceful ever since
Until last week
When Zeus' lightning bolt
The symbol of his power was stolen from Olympus

Zeus is furious
He suspects Poseidon
But a God cannot take another's object of power
The thief had to be a half-blood, which means
