Chapter 1: A New Home

Percy Jackson sleepily blinked opened his eyes. He sat up slowly and looked around the room. It was very unfamiliar, and he had a feeling that he had never been here before. He stared at the plain blue wall before his memory of what had happened over the past week came back to him in a rush.

"Mom…" he whispered, remembering the sight of his step-father, Gabe Ugliano, killing her. A tear slid down his cheek as the door was pushed open a bit. The figure at the door gasped.

"Mama! Papa! He's awake," the figure called in a feminine voice. The door was pushed all the way open, and Percy stared at the girl.

She looked to be around his age, maybe a year or two older. She had long, black hair, pale skin, and brown eyes. She was dressed in a purple summer dress, and her hair hung loosely down to her waist.

He heard footsteps, and two more figures appeared in the doorway. Both were adults. The woman had black hair and green eyes. The man also black hair, but he sported brown eyes. It was obvious that the girl, who was now standing at the foot of the bed, was their child. The woman approached him, and sat down at the end of his bed.

"How are you feeling?" she asked softly as the man, who he assumed to be her husband, sat down next to her.

"Okay, I guess. My arm hurts a bit," he replied. The man and the woman had a quick, quiet conversation before the man left.

"My husband, Ivan, is going to get something for the pain. I'm Quinn. Quinn Sethia. This is my daughter, Alice," she said. Alice waved when her mother said her name.

"I'm Percy Jackson," Percy replied. Quinn smiled gently at him.

"Are you, perhaps, Sally Jackson's son?" Quinn asked curiously.

"Yes. Did you know her?" Percy asked in response. Quinn sighed sadly.

"I was an acquaintance of hers. I visited the shop she worked at often. It was a sad thing to hear that she had passed on into Hade's realm."

"I'm sorry I couldn't do anything to save her life. My step-father was too drunk to listen to reason." He looked down at his hands and clenched them tightly. Quinn laid one of her hands on his hands, and he looked up at her face.

"It's not your fault. Stopping your step-father might not have been able to save her if the Fates had decided that she was ready to die." Percy nodded his head, his eyes brimming with tears. It was at that point in the conversation when Ivan walked back in with a glass of water and some pain medication.

"Here," he said, handing the items to Percy, "take these pain killers to help with your arm." Percy nodded and took the medicine without any complaints.

"Thank you," he said as Ivan turned to his daughter.

"Alice, will you come help me make some food for our guest?" he asked her, and she nodded cheerfully. The left the room together, leaving the 7-year-old boy with Quinn.

"It'll take about 30 minutes for the medicine to set in," Quinn said.

"Thank you," replied Percy.

"No problem," she said with a smile. They sat in silence for a minute or two before Percy spoke up about something that had confused him earlier.

"I heard you mention Greek Mythology. Why?" Quinn heaved a deep sigh before she began to explain.

-I'm a Line Break-

Percy sat at the kitchen table, his plate empty after a nice, filling meal. He was amazed with what Quinn had told him. He had never expected that Greek Gods were real, but it explained the monsters that had attacked him after he had left his home and some of the other strange occurrences in his life. She had also said that he was most likely a child of one of the Greek Gods, seeing as the monsters attacked him.

"How did you figure out that Greek Mythology is real?" Percy questioned the family of three sitting at the kitchen table with him. Quinn and Ivan shared a look before Ivan spoke.

"Quinn is a daughter of Hecate, the goddess of magic. I am a legacy of a war god, though which war god is my parent shall remain a secret for now. Alice is a legacy of Hecate and Hestia's champion," Ivan said.

"How is she Hestia's champion?" Percy asked curiously.

"When she was born, she was very weak, so Quinn and I prayed to the gods. It was Hestia who answered our prayers. She blessed Alice with her gift so that Alice would be able to survive. It worked, and Alice is a now growing 7-year-old without any problems from her rough birth," Ivan said with a smile. Alice smiled at Percy.

"Maybe you can become a god's champion when you get older!" Alice exclaimed happily, causing her parents to laugh. Percy smiled at her, his first smile since he had woken up. They didn't realize how spot on Alice's prediction would be.

A week later, Percy was adopted into the Sethia family. He would know be known as Perseus Sethia-Jackson. Though, most of the time he preferred to go by Percy Sethia.

Percy was 8 when Hera chose him to become her champion. According to Alice, Hestia found out that Poseidon was Percy's dad when Poseidon was moping about during one of the counsel's meetings. She had asked him what was wrong, and he had explained that he had learned that Sally Jackson had been killed and that her son was missing. Hera was there when Hestia explained that the Sethia family had adopted Percy. Poseidon wanted to go see Percy right away, but Hestia reminded him of the Ancient Laws that restricted him from doing so. That was when Hera had spoken up. She said that she would keep an eye on Percy, since she had grown a fondness for the Sethia family, by letting him become her champion. Percy's life only got better from then on.

Woot, a new story!

First things first, if anything is confusing or seems out of place, please review with your comment or PM me.

You will find that I might skip some scenes (especially in the PJO part of the story), for this story's main focus is HoO (and possibly an HP crossover post-Giant War). I will summarize what happens in those scenes in the ending author's note, so if you want to know what happened, read the goddammed author's note. And, yes, this story is rated T for cursing.

If you are wondering, Alice will be a semi-major OC. She will have an effect on the story (possibly saving some characters who I think should have lived), and she will be a strong warrior. Also, if you're wondering about Percy's power as Hera's champion, the main thing is that they're more mental/magical powers than physical.

I hope you enjoy this lovely story of mine!
