This is my first story...yeah. Enjoy
All rights for everything except stuff I make up belong to Rick.
Perseus...The Godslayer...The Destroyer...The beast...these names are said with both endless love and gripping fear. However, Perseus wasnt born with these titles nor did he ask for them...but sometimes...when you push a man far enough he can do the impossible.
My father, the earthshaker, Poseidon is just beaming with pride, so were the parent of the other 6 of the prophecy. We had just defeated Gaia and we were now being givin our rewards. Zeus offered all of us immortality. Leo accepted, he wanted to go and save Calypso and he needed to be a god to do so. He also wanted to work with his father in the olympian forges. He became the God of Technology and minor god of flames.
Hazel and Frank accepted aswell, they had already discussed accepting the offer if it was given before hand. Hazel was the minor goddess of magic and major goddess of precious metals. Frank was named the god of battle and suprisingly a minor god of archery. Artemis wasnt too happy about that one but she got over it.
Jason took immortality without a second thought. Piper seemingly wasnt expecting this answer if the betrayed look in her eyes was anything to go by. Jason became the god of Storms and minor god of wind. Piper declined immortality and stormed out of the throne room followed quickly by Aphrodite.
Last was me and Annabeth. We hadnt talked about any rewards. So when Annabeth accepted godhood I was very suprised but i couldnt blame her.I loved her but you know the saying...if you love something let it go...right? She became the godess of Architecture and knowledge. I was the last one to be offered immortality. Annabeth and the gods looked at me expectantly.
"We have offered you godhood in the past Perseus and you have declined. This is the last time we offer you godhood, however this time a place among us Olympians is on the table. Do you accept?" Zeus said
"With all due respect Lord Zeus, i must decline your offer. I would like to ask for three requests instead" I said
Zeus eye twitched and my fathers beaming aura seemed to deflate. "You dare decline immortality again boy!" Zeus bellowed
"Perseus...please reconsider your decision" said Poseidon.
" I'm sorry dad but I dont want to be a god, don't get me wrong I appreciate the offer but I just want to lay my weapon down and rest one day. Maybe grow old with a family someday." I said as I glanced at Annabeth who seemed to be very close to crying.
" Okay then boy, what are your requests? " said a very angry Zeus.
"First, I want you guys to offer the immortality you were going to give me to Nico and Reyna. We wouldn't have been able to defeat Gaia without them." I said
Hades actually smiled and nodded his head at me in appreciation.
"Second, and please hear me out on this one, but I want you guys to revert any monsters that were once human back if they were wrongfully turned. Like Medusa ,Lama,and Arachne" I said sheepishly
"WHAT!" They both screamed
"Absolutely not! Those disgusting monsters deserve what I gave her!" Athena yelled
"And that child-eating monster does as well!" Hera agreed
"No they didn't! Medusa was once your priestess Athena! And when my dad tried to take her she ran to your temple and prayed for you to help her! And you did nothing! You instead found her defiled body and turned her into a monster that has killed countless children of the gods in this room. And what about Arachnid huh? You turned her into a monster because of petty jealousy!"
Athena looked at me with so much anger that I probably would've been scared if I hadn't been fighting wars for the assholes since I was 12.
"And Hera, how many times are you going to punish the women of this world because your husband can't keep it in his pants?"
"Watch your mouth boy!" Zeus bellowed lightning bolt in hand
"You should calm down brother" Poseidon said grabbing his trident.
Zeus didn't calm down but he put down the bolt and began eyeing Poseidon.
"What is your last request Perseus and hurry up before someone kills you...that would be unfortunate." Said Artemis which shocked everyone in the room.
"Yea... um my last request is that you guys make more camps around the U.S...camp half-blood is getting crowded."
The whole throne room fell silent until Zeus spoke.
"You ask much from us Demi-god. However I must consult the council. All in favor of Perseus' first request?" Everyone raised their hand
"The son of Hades and daughter of Bellona will be rewarded after this meeting." Said Zeus
"All in favor of his second request" Everyone's hand went up except for Athena and Hera.
Zeus summoned three vials of what looked like lava. "These are for Lama and the rest. It will revert than back to human." Zeus said.
"How do I get them to drink this? I've killed all three of them in the past...theyll probably try to kill me on sight! I said
"They don't need to drink it...it just needs to come in contact with their skin" Said Zeus
"Okay I guess"
"Now all in favor of making more camps" All hand went up except for Hephaestus who seemed deep In thought
"Thank you Olympians" I said
So if that's all I would like to talk to anna...
BOOM
LINEBREAK
I was thrown across the throne room.There was smoke everywhere and I smelled something burning...my clothes are on fire! Holy shit my shirt is on fire. I immediately got up and ripped my charred shirt of and patted down my pants. Then the pain hit me like a train. My left arm looked like it got attacked my a python expect the python was on fire. The serpentine shaped burn went from my wrist all the way to my left pectoral and some of neck. When the fuck did that happen? The smoke began to clear and I realized I wasn't in the throne room anymore I was in a room that kind of looked like church. There were rows of empty seats and a large throne at the front. There was a figure in the throne. It was female and humanoid in shape but it had no facial features except glowing red eyes which is never a good sign. The rest of its body was just smoke. It seemed to be just watching me like it expected me to talk to it. I instinctively grabbed riptide out of my pocket.
"Approach" said the smoke figure in a very feminine voice which surprised me because it sounded oddly familiar
"I think I'll just stay here smokey, but do you mind telling me who or what you are?
It giggled, stood up, and made its way towards me. I got into a defensive stance and prepared for a fight.
"I have been watching you for a while now Perseus. I even went as far as to pretend to be one of those hunters of Artemis. They were good girls but we're always so uptight."
"You were one of Artemis' hunters?"
"Yes, but I was just playing a role to see how things were going over in your world. I have to say I am impressed young hero. You've defeated God's, Titans, Giants, and even Gaia" She said
" I did all those things with my friends and family. I couldn't have done it without their help." I said
Why am I talking to this thing?!
"Always the modest hero. Never taking credit for his accomplishments. But let's cut to why I brought you here. I need your help. A great evil rises against me and I have chosen you as my champion."
"It's always some great evil. Why doesn't anyone just ask me to help them with something simple like... I don't know cooking or something!
"Because you are a hero Perseus"
"Yeah Yeah whatever. Listen until you tell me what you are, where I'm at, and who you are I'm not helping with anything lady. "
"Very well, to answer you're first question I'm a half-dragon."
I sat there like a fish opening and closing my mouth
"The answer to your second question it Mount Drako which Is located on a magical island somewhere in the Caribbean. The island is always moving so I can't give you an exact location."
"Okay that's fair I think"
"And for your final question" she didn't finish she just dispelled the smoke on her body and I instantly recognized her.
"It's been a while Percy"
I was so shocked that I dropped riptide. The clanging noise of it hitting the ground snapped me out of my stupor.
"ZOE!"
