Percy POV
When I was little, I was a handful, never careful, always injuring myself. I never had a care in the world, except looking after my mum as much as I could, well at least trying to, only failing miserably and only making things worse for her. Though she always forgave me, in the end, that is. I had always hated going to school, that and I had to change constantly as I always got kicked out for some strange reason. Like for example, one of the principals of one of my previous schools said that I was "incapable" of learning and that I roughhoused too "much" with the other boys causing many fights and arguments while making snide jokes or rude comments. Honestly, though, I had never really minded moving schools much, but it was a really tedious and annoying process that kept on repeating, over, and over, and over again, so I never had a true best friend, well except for Grover that is. Grover being the one that brought me to Camp Half-Blood in the first place so for that I was grateful because if he didn't, I would have probably been monster chow long, long before now.
When I was little, I never questioned death. I knew when you're dead you're dead, well at least until I turned 12 and was brought to Camp Half-Blood. Where I learnt about the existence of monsters, the Titans, giants etc. I learned about the Greek Gods the Roman Gods and even learning that me myself, am a demigod. Whilst being difficult to wrap my head around I finally understood, after several headaches and pulling several strange looking faces that are, due to my dyslexia. My longing to run around and punch someone or something and seeing as I had a rather short attention span I never really listened too much. But there was one thing that I learned while being there, that is to be more delicate in certain situations, and to be wary of what you're doing, to think before you act because one wrong move and it could be all over for you. Unfortunately for me I never exactly thought be before I acted, hence often more than not leaving me in a bit more than a spot of trouble.
But luckily for me, that was then, and this is now. I no longer have to deal with that unimportant boring stuff, because right now none of that really matters anyway and none of it helped me and my friends to defeat a single foe especially not the latest one. After defeating Gaea with the help of my friends being Annabeth, Hazel and Frank, Piper and Jason, Leo, Nico, Reyna, the whole of Camp Half-Blood, and Camp Jupiter. We were able to subdue her, scattering her essence so much so, that she hopefully will never be able to form a consciousness or a body ever again. Plus, Grover and the nature spirits had just confirmed that they could no longer sense her presence and that Earth is returning to normal without her. I mean, sure we might have just very slimly missed what could have been the biggest war of all time, with both the Romans and Gaea, but luckily we all (mainly the Romans) snapped into sense because of the large statue of Annabeth's mum. But I've been doing this long enough to realise some repeating patterns here, and why is it always me getting into most of the trouble anyway? Who knows? Definitely not me anyway... Well after defeating Gaea with both camps united and some help from the Olympians. Nearly every single thing at Camp Half-Blood was destroyed, well Surprising except for the fricking ping pong table that we would all gather around. Like it literally didn't have a single scratch or dent in it, everything just sorta collapsed around it. Although the damage done to the Big House was nothing compared to the rest of the Camp, everything was in shambles, and saying that the camp was destroyed would just by saying it mildly. The proper word or words for this kind of mess would have to be a disintegrated, eradicated, annihilated, obliterated completely torn down mess of debris and clutter, again except for the ping pong table.
There were several photographs and poster that littered the ground, some mine, some from the other campers, some that are too indistinguishable to even make out. Just looking over at it made me sad in knowing that the place that I had trained in was no longer standing, not even Zeus' fist made it out of this one unharmed. As some of the boulders had split in half, instead, making itself look like a giant butt shaped rock, I chuckled at this idea Zeus' butt, I thought to myself how "iconic". Just then Annabeth came over
'What are you laughing at? The whole camp is literally destroyed and you're standing there like a statue gawping at Zeus' fist.' Her saying that to me made me realise how stupid I looked. There were literally tons of people scattered about looking for their personal belongs and their friends, while I was just staring at a rock and laughing. But this just also made me laugh harder, I pointed my hand towards it and said to her trying to hold back more fits of laughter,
'Zeus' butt.' With this, she let out a small giggle mixed in with a sort of snort, she then gave me a small peck on the cheek.
'I guess you're the only one here who is able to find something funny in this calamity.' she then gave a small smile and I returned it looking at her
'I guess you're right... I guess you're right...'
A/N
If you would like me to continue with this story, please review or PM me. please be mindful that this is my first fanfic so don't judge too harshly and I like a bit of constructive criticism. Please tell me what you would like me to include for ships, setting or theme, perhaps some of the plot too. As if I continue this fanfic, I've got some of it sorted out, but I would like to continue writing this with you the readers to help it grow. Please also note that this won't be updated daily as I do have to go to school (sigh), so for the first couple of chapters, I will probably post more frequently. Most of the ships will be seen towards the end or middle of this fic, so please be patient as this story has only just begun, and I have big plans for it. Also, I will only be swapping POVs every couple chapters or so, not in between.
Oh and if you spot any errors in my writing, please notify me so I can change it immediately
Thx Gabby :)
