What's up everyone! I'm back with my first full story, LOST LEGENDS! It is a perlia, so no worries. My original story, THE CHAOS ULTIMATES, just has the same plotline as most. So I am changing it! Slightly inspire by TheseusLives's story PERSEUS JACKSON AND THE LAST FRONTIER.

SUMMARY:

After the Giant War, Percy and Thalia just want to live the life of a normal mortal. Go to school, get a job, live a peaceful life. When Percy finds his girlfriend cheating on him and his parents died in a house fire, he runs. With Thalia, the woman who secretly loves him. But can they completely leave that life behind…

Note: Thalia left the Hunters after the Titan War ended.

SO this is my first installment to LOST LEGENDS!

Lost Legends Chapter One

Leaving…

Percy POV

So much death.

A demigod life doesn't always mean you live a hero's life. I learned that the hard way. I didn't want fame, or glory, or popularity. I just wanted to live a normal life. Everyone wants to be that hero, like me, that do so much. Kill Gaea. Kronus. The Minotaur. The Furies. Medusa. Even with my accomplishments, I felt so much sadness. Standing in a battlefield after a war is terrible. Dead bodies, strewn about the ground. Spear tips, arrowheads, swords buried up to the hilt.

I wanted to leave this life. But I couldn't. I had to keep my loved ones and best friends safe. Annabeth. Grover. Leo. Thalia. Jason. Piper. All of them. They were why I kept up my happy façade. I loved them, and sometimes my laughter and smiles were genuine, but more often than not that wasn't true. My life was always painful.

My first quest. I was young, inexperienced. Barely a week since I got to camp and I had been thrown into a quest to prevent a third world war. Had to lose my mom and venture across the country to save her with my crush and my best friend. I had despair for my mom. So nervous. Nervous that I might fail her. That I wouldn't be what she wanted me to be. But I came out victorious.

My second quest, to the Sea of Monsters. This time Grover was captured. My best friend, my favorite satyr, caught by Polyphemus. This time I had a bit more experience, but Luke's betrayal hit me real hard. He was one of my best friends at camp. And not only save Grover, but Thalia's tree as well. And her inside it.

My third quest, to Mount Orthrys. Again, the one closest to my heart, Annabeth, was captured. Forced to hold up the sky to bait in Artemis. But I went on the quest to save Annabeth. My love. Forced to watch Bianca and Zoe both die. Forced to hold the sky for Artemis to defeat Atlas. Forced to save the Ophiotaurus for Olympus.

My fourth quest, into the Labyrinth. Now I had to prevent Camp Half-Blood from being invaded and the Titan's killing all my friends. I watched Pan fade. I forced myself to leave Calypso on her island, one of the hardest things I've ever done. I had to save them. I was able to. But with the death of so many campers. So many. I had to watch with regret as their shrouds were burned to ash.

Then the invasion of Manhattan. So many deaths. Demigods, good and bad. I had to watch as Ethan sacrificed himself to help us. Lee died to destroy the bridge. Annabeth took a poisoned dagger for me that would've killed me. Luke sacrificed himself to kill Kronus to save Olympus. So many countless others died in the fight of their lives. But I stood strong, as a sign of hope for the God's heroes. I inspired people to keep fighting, to lay down their lives to stop Kronus. That bastard.

Then after enjoying a small amount of peace with my girlfriend, Poof! Hera (or Juno if you prefer) whisks me away for eight months in a coma, taking away my memories, and sending me to Camp Jupiter, where I learn about how the Roman Gods are real. Thus starts my fifth quest, where I led Frank and Hazel up the coast all the way to Alaska, the Land beyond the Gods, to free Thanatos. I was able to get my memories back after defeating Alcyoneus on Hubbard Glacier and Polybotes at Camp.

Alaska. The most beautiful place I've ever set eyes on. I know I'm Percy Jackson, the city boy from New York, but seriously. The snow-capped mountains, pine forests, and crystal clear waters just beckoned to me. I wanted to live there. Problem: The Gods have no power there. So I couldn't exactly relocate there.

Then I started my sixth quest; the prophecy of seven. Jason Grace, son of Jupiter. Piper Mclean, daughter of Aphrodite. Hazel Levesque, daughter of Pluto. Frank Zhang, son of Mars. Leo Valdez, son of Hephaestus. Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena. And me. Seven of the most skilled, most powerful people currently mortal. Fighting for the fate of Western Civilization.

I was possessed and forced to fight Jason, a guy I thought of as a brother. I had to watch as Annabeth went into the underground tunnels of Rome by herself. I had to watch as my friends nearly died all the way to Greece.

And then we fell into Tartarus.

The worst place I have ever seen. So many monsters, crowding the pit to its rim. Annabeth and I had to suffer with each step. Escape Polybotes on our tail, escape Nyx and her children through the Mansion of Night, watch as Bob and Damasen sacrificed themselves (most likely) to help us escape. The single hardest thing I have ever done in my 18 years of existence.

And I hated everything about it.

When I got out, we had to go to Mt. Olympus, continue with this grueling quest. I watched Annabeth risk her life to get the Makhai with Piper. Watch as everyone, including myself, fought the army in Greece. We laid down our lives, willing to sacrifice ourselves to win this war for the world. Then my fated nosebleed woke the single greatest threat to our existence.

Gaia. I watched as Leo changed the ship into Festus and picked her up into the sky, weakening her with every foot higher he flew. He sacrificed himself to kill Gaia, to blast her to bits. And I couldn't save him.

Every night, I have nightmares. Worse than ever. All my other friends dying, or leaving me, or getting captured. Tartarus. Getting tortured. I have been officially diagnosed with PTSD. My dyslexia is getting worse. And my parents died when there was a fire in the apartment next to theirs.

I was broken. Helpless. The only friends I had anymore were Thalia and the rest of the seven. Everyone was giving me wary looks like I was going to explode in anger and kill everyone in sight. But when I went down to the beach tonight to see Annabeth, something was up. And I had no idea what it was but I snuck up to the beach and looked over the hill. And what I saw made my heart shatter.

"Connor, I love you."

"I love you more than anyone, Annabeth. Even Percy."

"I know. He's starting to scare me. Should we just tell him?" Annabeth asked.

"Sure. When he comes here."

I looked on in shock as my eyes started tearing up. I turned around and rushed away to my cabin, gathering my supplies. My Minotaur Horn. Riptide. $1500 in mortal money. 50 drachmas. A map of the United States. A bottle of water. Some spare celestial bronze and Imperial gold. I don't know why I grabbed that but I had a feeling I would need it in the future. I quickly wrote a letter to Chiron about why I left and rushed out the door.

I ran towards the border when I heard a familiar voice calling me. "Kelp Head, where do you think you are going?!"

I turned as Thalia ran up to me. I hissed back, "I'm leaving this place. I have PTSD. My girlfriend cheated one me. My parents are dead. I have nowhere to go."

Thalia looked at me in anger and shock at my words. Then a small smile graced her lips. I looked at her and she asked me something very strange.

"So you're single?" I was caught off guard by the question, but I replied "Yeah, why?"

"So I can do this to you?" I had no idea what she meant until she smashed her lips into mine. I went to push her back until my arms circled around her neck, deepening the kiss. I kissed her back just as passionately until I realized that she just kissed me. I pulled back and asked her, "Why did you do that?"

She replied coolly, "I have crushed on you since the day I ended being a tree. But you were so happy with Annabeth I couldn't take that away from you." Then she laughed at her words. "I would feel so embarrassed if someone asked me that. 'Yes, I have been a tree for a couple years.'" We both started cracking up until we were rolling on the ground, almost dying with laughter.

"But seriously, Perce. Are you still gonna leave me here?" I looked at her seriously and asked her something I know I would never regret.

"You want to come with?"

"You bet ya. Be here in ten minutes." She pecked me on the lips and ran off to her cabin.

I AM A LINE BREAK

Chiron knew something was up with Percy. He hadn't been the same since the end of the war. Percy was growing more distant and wary around everyone. He hadn't been seen for a week now. He knew it was some sort of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, the one where people feel broken, the one where they feel awful. He went down to the Poseidon Cabin and opened the door. Something was off. There were cobwebs on the beds, dust on the floor. It looked like it hadn't been touched for a while. Chiron noticed a small, ballpoint pen with a piece of paper on Percy's old bed. He read it and a pang of pain went through his heart.

Dear Chiron,

I'm guessing you're the first person to find this and read it. I'm tired of living the life of a demigod. It's painful and I hate it right now. After living through two wars, the loss of so many good people have affected me to much. Every night I dream of Tartarus, of losing my friends I hold close so dearly. Then my parents died. That nearly broke me. My mom was the greatest women to ever live. Then Annabeth cheated on me. That broke me completely. I couldn't live with that here.

Chiron, you were like a second father to me. You always cared for me, and I thank you for sticking by my side. Same thing with Jason, my cousin. You were always there to help, and I thank you for that. Leo. You were always the jokester and tried cheering me up, and I thank you for that. Piper, Hazel, Frank. You guys always cared about me, and you were great just for that. Nico, my cuz. Sorry for leaving, but I have to, I can't stay. You guys meant the world to me.

I am sorry Chiron, but my PTSD is catching up to me.

With a heavy heart,

Percy Jackson, Hero of Olympus

P.S. Apparently Thalia has PTSD too, so she came with me.

So guys, what did you think? This chapter was about 1900 words. A little less than I will normally I think. Beginning of Perlia, though next chapter it will be pre-established. Next chapter also introduces the threat.

This story will be a cross of two pantheons: the Greek/Roman and the Inuit/ Native American pantheons. The threat is a cross of both.

I have a few other stories planned out, but this will be the only one with another Earth pantheon (I said Earth, not other planets….)

Trivia Question of the Chapter: What were the first five monsters Percy ever fought?

I hope you liked the chapter! Read, comment, and follow!

Peace out.
