Hey guys I know it's been a while since I updated my story Camp Demigod and there is no reason for that. If I did make an excuse it would be a mix of procrastination, laziness, and video games. I know what I want to write but I just haven't written it yet.
This idea came to me randomly and the premise is basically Percy has access to the multiverse. He can open small portals to other universes and bring things out of there to help him. Sometimes he takes out the real thing and sometimes he creates a copy. This story will have lots of minor crossovers to other games, books, and even other fanfictions sometimes.
Also I have been helping my friend AlabasterTorrington with a few of his stories chapters and I recommend you go check out his story.
So without further ado, Let's start the chapter.
Camp Half-Blood
Percy POV
Well I hate my life right now. If you didn't know I'm Percy Jackson slayer of bla bla bla retreiver of bla bla bla. If you didn't notice I don't care for titles. But as to the reason I hate my life right now is because of what is happening.
My friends are turning away from me and I don't know why. They keep saying I'm doing things that I didn't do. For Katie it was destroying her garden and dissing her siblings. For the Stolls it was telling on them for their biggest prank ever. For Will it was calling him a and I quote 'lazy useless lousy healer that can't hold a bow right' and then destroying said bow. For Leo it was calling him a lousy forger who killed his mother because he couldn't control his powers. For Piper it was calling her absolutely useless and just like her siblings.
For Jason it was for dissing Piper. For Hazel it was saying that it was her fault Gaea rose and that she should've stayed dead. For Frank it was saying that I wished he would've burned in Alaska. For Reyna it was calling her a terrible Praetor because she let Octavian get in charge. For Thalia it was calling her a weak coward and breaking her weapons.
Ok, yeah, my life sucks. If I could just figure out who was framing me I could try and fix everything. The last person I had was my wise girl, my girlfriend Annabeth. Although the last few weeks she has been acting strangely, ever since my friends started to leave me. Anyway to avoid the dark thoughts I planned a date for tonight, I was planning to propose since we have been dating for another two years after the giant war.
I planned a picnic on the beach before a moonlit walk down said beach before ending on a cliff overlooking the sea. I was planning to propose on that cliff with the moonlight reflecting off the water. I had almost everything completely planned. Almost everything because there are somethings I can't plan for such as Annabeth's reactions.
Anyway to get approval to marry Annabeth from Athena I had to redo Hercules' twelve labors with a clingy Aphrodite and a drunk Dionysus on my back. After that I had to tame the Chimera, Nemean Lion, and Lydian drakon. Then I had to beat Athena and Ares in combat. Finally I had to defeat the king of all hellhounds. No that is not Cerberus, his name was Ignatius. To do all these tasks it took me about six months.
I pulled out a ring that costed me over five thousand drachmas from Hephaestus but it was most definitely worth it. It had three gems. One main one in the middle of the band, half of it was a sea-green that matched the shade of my eyes and the other half was the exact shade of her eyes. There was a little sea green gem to the left and a grey one to the right. The ring itself was forged out of a mix of celestial bronze, imperial gold, atlantean platinum, stygian iron, orthrytic silver (Which was a pain in the ass to get) and a special metal created by Athena that was pure condensed knowledge. She would learn things much quicker with it on and sometimes randomly learn something out of nowhere.
I told Annabeth of our date earlier today and wanted to surprise her by being there early so I left my cabin thirty minutes before the date was supposed to start. When I arrived on the beach I saw two blondes making out right next to the picnic I set up. I even saw some of the food was missing. I was about to yell at them when one spoke.
"So they all like me now?" The guy asked.
The girl replied in a voice I knew so well that I could discern it through a shouting match, "Of course Markus, I was able to get them to hate Seaweed Brain" she said it like an insult, "very easily. They practically jumped at the chance."
"Great so that means I can finally reveal myself and get them to banish him!" He said quite happily.
My anger grew and grew with every word. I could feel the sea getting riled up over my emotions and winds were starting to swirl around me. The waves were getting bigger and crazier by the second.
"Woah Poseidon must be angry today!" The guy-Markus spoke
I spoke back, in a steely cold tone "No, but you got the next worse thing."
They both whipped their heads around so fast they might have gotten whiplash. Markus' expression contorted into fear while Anna-Her face contorted into a smug smile.
"So you finally figured out huh, well I've been dating Markus here for over a year behind your back and you're only now figuring it out. I always knew you were an idiot." She smirked.
I only said one word, emotionlessly and still in the steely cold tone "Why?"
"For fame of course, I knew my mother would never notice me on my own so I latched onto the most famous person and look where it got me, the architect of Olympus and running the camp."
"Well then I guess I don't need this anymore" I pulled out the ring and threw it high into the air. Her eyes widened by a fraction before the case started falling back to earth. I pulled out Riptide and cleft the box and ring in half with one strong slash. The case being easy and the ring was slightly harder.
Rain was now pouring down in torrents and swirling around me. Sometimes freezing into ices or discombobulating into vapor. I glared at the two and only now did I realize what Markus looked like. He looked exactly like Luke, minus the scar. That made me even more angry than before. She really did love Luke more than me, I bet if she wasn't unconscious she would've stabbed me in the back to be with Luke.
"One last thing" I said.
"Oh and what is that?" She said condescendingly.
"You want to know who bound me to mortality when I bathed in the Styx?"
She looked surprised by the statement and was about to speak when I cut her off.
"You" I spoke in a whisper, the whisper of a broken man.
Her eyes widened exponentially, if she was pixelated she would be an anime character with eyes that wide. She was going to speak when Markus started talking.
"What the hell does that even mean?!" He yelled angrily.
"And you call me an idiot" I started thinking. I wish I could turn back time, to the good old days before I knew I was a demigod. Despite being abused, it was better than this. After thinking that I did something I couldn't explain, at least, not yet. I stuck my left arm out like I was going to hold the top of a scroll. When it was fully extended I noticed my hand go through a portal and after a few seconds grab something that did feel like a scroll.
When I pulled my hand out I was met with an intricate and very powerful scroll. I could feel the power radiating off of it. There was a cylinder that I was holding with a gem in the middle. It had what looked like pointy metal bars sticking out of it into the scroll. On either side of the scroll was what looked like a sword handle mixed with a fancy wine glass. The handles ending with a point. The parts that looked like a cup had a gem embedded into them with many different designs going up and down the scroll. (AN: I tried my best to describe an elder scroll from Skyrim)
I then put my right hand on something I couldn't see and pulled down on it. It was a handle made of the same material as the rest of the scroll and was connected to what looked like paper but could have been another substance, like papyrus.
The designs on the paper like thing started glowing and images started going into my brain. They didn't stay long enough for me to see them but I knew that they were my many futures somehow. I was so engrossed in the images that I almost didn't notice myself speaking in a strange language. It didn't sound like it was from Earth and I couldn't understand what I was saying. After a while I felt a flare of power from the scroll and it shut itself. My arms put the scroll on my back and then I saw a portal open up. I somehow knew that this portal would take me to my past, to allow me to start again. I had a choice, I could literally feel Janus whispering into my ear. Choose, choose, you do not have much time. My eyes snapped open, I didn't even realize I closed them.
It was an easy choice. Stay here and wait for the gods to betray me or demigods to kill me, or start again and not make the same mistakes. I walked through the portal.
