"I believe," Mr. D. said, raising his head high. It had been an hour since he said that he would be the deciding vote. He just couldn't make up his mind.
"That I need more Coke to think about this." The entire room sighed in aggravation.
"Hurry up or i'll put your head on a stick and barbecue it!" Ares yelled from his chair.
"Just a moment." Mr. D. said, holding up a finger.

"Hurry up or i'll decide!" Annabeth growled, balling her fists. Everyone was extremely bored out of their minds, and I myself couldn't handle another minute of this. The Wine Dude looked offended.
"You do not have a say in this! You would have been balling your eyes out if you found out the hard way!" He said with an edge.
The hard way?
"Now," He said, taking a step towards Zeus. "I do have full authority over this vote, right?"
Zeus exhaled. "Yes, Dionysus. Speak!"

Dionysus looked around the room and weighed the odds out loud.
"If I say it lives, than it will be hunted by monsters more than any other demigod. If it dies, Annabeth would kill me," He eyed Annabeth, who was steaming with anger.
Dionysus smiled.

"The baby must parish."
