Author's notes: I don't own Percy Jackson or anything else in this fanfiction. I hope you enjoy.
Luke's POV(First Person)
You've all heard the stories about the Greek gods and goddesses right? Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Athena, Artemis, Apollo, Hermes, etcetera...Well, they're real.
Anyways, Sometimes the gods and goddesses fall in love with mortals and they have children with them. These children are called Demi-Gods, or Half-Bloods.
No, I am not crazy or on anything, nor am I drunk. I know the things to be true because I am a Demi-God. My name is Luke Castellan, Son of Hermes, and this is my story. Well, part of it anyway.
You see I died during the second war of the titans. I made some bad descisions and joined Kronos and let him take up residence in my body. I know, I know, stupid descion right?
I did this because I was angry; at my father, and the other olympians. They never seemed to care about us. They were always busy beings gods and all. We were only their pawns that's all we ever were. The gods had a lot of kids and they didn't always care about us.
I was tired of it. I didn't want to be just a pawn, or another Demi-God, or even just another one of Hermes sons. I wanted no part of it.
I was on a field trip to visit olympus during the Winter Solstice when I made the first bad descision. I listened to Kronos and stole Zeus's Master Bolt. I didn't make it far before I was caught by Ares, The god of War. Kronos told me exactly what I had to say though to get him on our side.
I could go on for a long time, but the point is. I made a lot of bad descisions. I wish that I hadn't been so angry, so bitter, so resentful. But I can't change anything now, I'm dead. But I wasn't for that long.
Now to the present day, the day where a finally got a second chance at life, along with some of the other Demi-Gods that died during the second Titan war and even one who had been exiled. The day we found out that something was very wrong in the world above.
3rd Person (NO POV)
The group walked towards the doors of death. They knew something was wrong. Monsters weren't staying dead. They had overheard Hades minions talking about it. They wanted to see for themselves what was happening though.
What could be the cause of all of this? How could the monsters be reforming so quickly? It wasn't natural. Monsters should at least take a couple years to reform. Maybe even a lifetime if they were lucky. 'They' being the Demi-Gods.
Two teen boys lead their group. One was of Asian descent with only one eye, the other was blonde with a scar running across his face.
"Come on!" The blonde boy called over his shoulder. "We're almost there."
The others quickened their pace. Now to see what was going on with the doors of death. They approached the doors of death. What they saw was very concerning. The doors were wide open and Monsters were flocking towards them and exiting through an elevator into the mortal world.
"Houston, We have a problem." Castor told them.
"What the hell is happening here?" Charles Beckendorf wondered outloud.
"And where's Thanatos?" Silena added, "Shouldn't he be here guarding the Doors of Death?"
"I don't know." Luke responded, "But I don't like it."
"Neither do I." Ethan concluded, "Let's get moving." The rest of the group followed the three of them.
"We need to find a way to get the doors closed." Charles told them.
"I know." Luke said, "But we'll have to get out of here first. And to do that we have to get through all of those monsters." Luke pointed them out to the others.
"Then let's go kick some Monster ass." Michael Yew replied.
"Yeah!" His brother Lee Fletcher said enthusiastically.
"We can't go in there are half-cocked." Luke responded. "We need a strategy."
"Luke's right." Castor spoke up. "We need a plan."
"Lee, Charles, and Silena, You guys take the monsters to the left." Luke spoke, "Michael, Castor, Jess you take the right."
"What about you?" Ethan asked.
"I'll take the ones right down the middle." Luke said.
"Need some help?"
They turned to see the exiled son of Hecate. "Alabaster?"
"Hey guys, how's it going?" Alabaster responded.
"What are you doing here?" Luke asked in disbelief.
"Well, when my monster sister kept reforming only an hour after I killed her." Alabaster said, "I knew something was up and I came to check it out."
"Well," Ethan said, "If you want to help be our guest."
"Don't mind if I do." The son of magic smiled.
"Okay, Alabaster you're with Ethan and I." Luke informed him.
"Cool, let's get this over with." The group charged. They all watched each others backs and after a few minutes all of the monsters were dust.
"Let's get moving before they start to reform!" Luke ordered.
The nine Demi-Gods ran out of the doors of death. They watched the elevator. "Someone has to stay behind to hold the elevator button." Alabaster observed.
"I'll do it." Luke said.
"Luke-" Ethan began to protest.
"Someone has to stay behind Ethan." Luke argued, "I'll do it."
"I could do it." Ethan told him. "Besides who will lead us if you stay behind?"
"You can do it."
"What?"
"I trust you to lead them Ethan." Luke put a hand on his shoulder. "Now go on get out of here."
The elevator doors opened and the eight other Demi-Gods piled in.
"Good luck Luke." Alabaster nodded.
Luke returned the gesture. "You too, all of you."
Luke pushed the button and held it for two minutes they were all out. They were safe. Luke turned to see that many of the monsters began to reform. 'Well,' he thought, 'This should be fun.'
