The quest of a god

1 (Percy pov)

"The Council agrees. Percy Jackson, you may have one gift from the gods." Zeus spoke gravely and with a sense of unhappiness.

"Any gift?" I asked.

"I know what you will ask. The greatest gift of all. Yes, if you want it, it shall be yours. The gods have not bestowed this gift on a mortal hero in many centuries, but, Perseus Jackson—if you wish it—you shall be made a god. Immortal. Undying. You shall serve as your father's lieutenant for all time."

"Um… a god?"

"A dimwitted god, apparently. But yes. With the consensus of the entire Council, I can make you immortal. Then I will have to put up with you forever." Zeus told me.

Without hesitation I replied "yes lord Zeus. I accept the god's generous gift."

I turned and looked at Annabeth. She had a single tear running down her face. Confused I looked back towards the gods in time to see every god rise and hold out their right hand towards me.

A ray of light flew from each of the gods hands and right before they hit me, I heard a girl behind me scream "NO!" and that was the last thing I heard before blacking out.
