The Lost God: The Moment of Truth

Summary: Kairos is the forgotten god, a son of Kronos that inherited his father's great power. After the Titan War he disappears and hides in the shadows. Only occasionally does he interfere in the world, and this time he does so under the name Percy Jackson.

Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson or any characters or plot-points that may or may not appear from the series.

Kairos is one of the two major concepts of time in ancient Greece. It is the concept of seizing the moment. This will be reflected in Percy's personality and actions in the story.

This is my first story too, so please be nice ^ . ^


Prologue: The Land Before Time Sucked

My Mother used to tell me this story, lots of stories actually, lots of Greek myths. Well, she still kinda does at night, but that isn't the point. The point is she told me stories.

I'm rambling again. Sorry.

So my mother told me stories, bed time stories, about Greek myths and legends. I never thought any of it could be real. But she always told them with a sense of importance and a light in her eye.

She always told one story with a look that would make the cutest puppy jealous: the story of the forgotten god Kairos.

Kairos was one of the middle sons of Kronos, smack right between Hades and Poseidon. But Karios was special; he had inherited all of his father's powers over fate, time and space. He was his father's successor and heir, so of course he went down the hatch immediately.

When Zeus freed his brothers and sisters, Karios was instrumental in the defeat of his father. No matter how powerful the Olympians were, they could never defeat a Titan that could freeze them in time for eternity with the snap of his fingers. Karios managed to keep Kronos' power at bay so that Zeus and the others could defeat him.

After the Titanomachy, Karios rejected a spot in Zeus' new order. He disappeared from the world, hiding in the shadows and advancing his own hidden agenda. The gods knew of his existence: a stray demigod here, a warning there. But because of his obscurity, no myth ever mentioned Karios and no known description of his appearance and strength was recorded.

My Mom was the only person I ever met that had even heard of him. That was besides Mr. Brunner, my Latin teacher. He denied any knowledge of the name when I asked him after class, but I could tell from his eyes that he recognized the name.

I'm rambling again; I really do need to stop that.

Anyway, the point is that I never expected to ever meet some imaginary god, let alone find out that he was actually my father.


Was that any good? Let me know in the reviews. Seriously, I want people's feedback.

I have a draft outline of where I want this to go, and have started the next chapter already. The story will focus more on Percy come next chapter and subsequent additions. This is just a prologue, and is narrated by an OC character that is based on a mix between Jason and Percy really.

But that can change, I planned to try and go through both series with the story, I am still unsure about it though.

If you don't want the character to be an OC and just a different character (i.e. Jason) then tell me in the reviews. I am aiming for at least 2 more chapters by the end of the month, but I might do many more. This is a prologue so it's short, but following chapters will be much lengthier. The next chapter so start with his life and discovery and lead all the way to his first day at camp. Whoever "He" is (and Percy will be there).
