I never wanted this life. Being a monster in both the worlds I'm from. I probably should've expected it though. I mean if Fate can't control you then it's gonna find some way to influence you. Right? I guess it doesn't really matter. I mean a war's coming and both world's will get what they deserve… pain.
Before Percy was born (if it gets confusing stay with me, I promise everything will be explained. Also this is the only part that Chaos will play a major role in)
Chaos POV
"Sir, he's escaped." I looked down at my servant before rubbing my temple with one hand and signing a paper with the other. "Well, go put him back." The servant shuffled from one foot to another before mumbling something under his breath. I stopped writing and look down on him, causing him to shift even more uncomfortably. "C… Certus." I jumped out of my throne and summoned all of my children into the room, while teleporting all of the other people in the room out.
Within seconds all of my children were here, talking idly about stuff until I slammed my fist on the table. Immediately everyone stopped talking and took a seat, understanding it had to be extremely important for me to get so angry about it. "Certus is out. Who will help?" Immediately over half the room left to hide in their domains, and pray he would leave them be. The only ones left were: Nyx, Pontus, Thanatos, Hydros, Gaia, and me. I sighed knowing this would be difficult before Hydros looked around the room, paled in fear, then flashed out. Now I let out a sigh of anger knowing I had made the most cowardly creations ever. "Ok, now none of you are gonna leave, and We'll have Certus back in his cage in the void in less than a week." They all nodded their heads before an ear-piercing whistle cut through the air, even for us primordials it hurt. Suddenly a hologram appeared, with the very thing we were looking for being projected. "Lady Chaos, I am not trying to cause trouble. I just want to give a proposition. I'm fading, I won't last more than a year and I just want a son. I swear on Helios that if you let me have a son and wife then I will not purposefully teach him any of my old ways, in fact I'll even try to make him pure and good with my wife." As soon as he finished a dark purple light flashed over him, and when it disappeared he clutched his head in pain while letting out a growl, sealing the deal. I looked at my fellow council rulers and saw all of them nod their head, knowing it was either let him do this or fight a battle which would not be good for us. I nodded my head and opened my mouth to talk to him, but before I could he started jumping up and down before stepping through the hologram and giving me a hug. "Thank you so much. I'll even let you track me so you know exactly where I am, but if I put up a do not disturb beacon I would rather you not look to see what I'm doing." He blushed at the last part, and so did I but nonetheless nodded. "You know it's good to have you back Certus, and I mean the real, and not the you corrupted from evil." He just smiled at me before flashing out, no doubt going to marry his girlfriend and enjoy the last year of his life with her and his son.
Still Chaos POVIt turns out Certus had longer to live than he thought, his son and wife gave him a reason to live. Sadly it wasn't enough to stop him from fading, which happened when his son, Percy, was 16 years old.
Percy POV
I was having the best dream of my life my girlfriend and me were riding in a boat just enjoying our time and having fun, then she turned to me and started speaking in my mom's voice. "Wake up Percy… Wake up… Dad's going to be mad if you're late…" Finally I woke up, only just then realizing it was a dream. I heard my mom yell again that I was about to be late before groaning and looking over at my alarm clock.6: 47… 6:47! I had to be in the car by seven or dad would leave me. I jumped out of bed with a yelp and scrambled around grabbing clothes and putting them on. I rushed into the bathroom and brushed my teeth before combing my messy white hair, then I made sure there were no pimples on my tan smooth skin, lastly I checked my bright blue and yellow eyes (I think they look like a mix between an electric spark and the sky) finally I ran down stares and grabbed a bagel before running out the door barely catching my dad, you was pulling out of the garage. When I got into the car he flicked me on the ear before driving off. My dad was not the type to talk, and he looked like it. He was a tall stern man that I think could pass for a mob leader. Not that I'm really complaining, its thanks to him that I can do half the stuff I can do. He pushes me past my limits to increase my limits, and I love it.
We arrived at school right when the warning bell was ringing, that meant I had five minutes to get to my class before the real bell rang. I got out of the car and tossed my whole bagel to my dad before yelling bye and running off with my stuff to my first class. Math with Mrs. Dodds
I got in the class and at my seat right before the bell rang, causing my friends next to me to reach over and playfully punching me on my shoulder, telling me to cut it closer next time. Mrs. Dodds gave me a sympathetic smile, something I only got when I was late. I gave her a questioning look but she just shook her head and started class.
I could hardly focus during class, thinking about why Mrs. Dodds gave me that look and why dad was acting so weird this morning. About half way through class the principle came into the class and called me to the office. My friends all laughed and made a big deal about it, but I was actually worried. I'd had this feeling in my stomach all day, and I just knew something bad had happened. When we reached the principles office she sat down and pointed to the seat across from her, which I promptly sat in. "Percy… there was an accident." I looked up at her with tears on the verge of coming out. "Your mother and father… they were driving when an 18 wheeler spun out of control and hit them, blowing up both cars and only leaving scorched bodies behind." I dropped my head down into my hands and let out a sob, quickly followed by several more until I was flat out sobbing into my arms. My teacher looked at me awkwardly before glancing at the clock. "Percy, how about you and your girl friend have off this next period, switch it with your free period." I nodded my head and barely registered her calling Mackey, my girlfriend to the office. Less than two minutes later she showed up at the door, and had a little discussion with the principle, probably about my predicament. Less than a second later she launched herself at me and took me outside, to me all of this had gone by in under a minute, but I soon heard the bell for the class I was just in ending. After a while I managed to stop sobbing and Mackey pulled away. "Percy, I'm so sorry, I know how much you loved your parents." I just nodded my head before she pulled me back into the hug. After a few minutes we started talking, and soon got to my inheritance. "Well, I got about an 8th of the money, the rest is pre set up to get me through college and get me started on the job." Mackey frowned and turned to look me in the eyes. "Only an 8th?" I gave her a questioning look, but I still nodded me head. She let out a groan and almost looked sad. "I was hoping you wouldn't say that. I was actually starting to like you for more than the money and obviously the looks." I choked on my sobs, but held back thinking it may not be what it seemed. When she saw this she actually looked a little sympathetic. "I thought you knew it was just for the money." I shook my head and started letting out sobs while she just stood up and walked away. Telling me I should grieve without her.
Finally I stopped crying and got up, deciding I should go home since I had all of my classes with Mackey and I didn't wan to see her anymore.
Once I got home I saw the door was unlocked, and there was a package on the counter. I walked up to it and saw what was inside. All that was in there was a note and an iphone, obviously a new one, as it looked nothing like mine, which I thought was the newest there was. I decided to open up the note first and see what it was about.
Dear Percy,
If you're reading this than I was right to say I was going to fade today. You know all those Greek myths that I had you study, and the pretend character I would tell you stories about when you were younger? Certus, embodiment of electricity, winds, and weather, but not the sky, since that's ouranus. Well, the truth is I am Certus, and you have inherited all of my powers, and my full blessing. I have faded, and your mother wanted to come with so she could always be with us when you died, but she had to die with me for that to happen. I'm sorry we left you alone, but in this package you will also find a phone. It will take you to a camp for people like you, if you remember the stories, Camp Half-Blood. Once you get there the phone will unlock, and… well you'll find out the rest. Just remember your mother and I will always be watching, and we'll always be proud.
Love, Certus and SallyI was in tears by the time I was done, but I was also somewhat relived. I always knew something was different about me, and my dad went into extreme detail about Certus and his powers so I had a good understanding of them. I grabbed the phone, the letter, and a backpack filled with supplies and headed out the door… or tried to. Once I stepped through the door frame my phone starting vibrating really loud. I pulled it out and it scanned my eye before a map appeared on the screen. It was telling my where to go and how long it would take if I followed the route it told me to… 5 days. I sighed and shouldered my backpack before walking in the direction I was supposed to go, not even thinking to try to hotwire a car until almost there.
I made it to camp sweating and scared. It was pretty easy to kill the occasional monster or two once I got the hang of my powers, but with no training there were a couple of times where if the wind hadn't of healed me a would have died. Yep, the wind heals me. Now it's no wolverine regeneration, but a broken bone will be fine by the end of the day, and I have better stamina then the monsters so that's basically the only way I can beat them. Now I stumbled across the border with an army of about 250 monsters trailing behind me. When the guards saw me I couldn't tell if they were more surprised from the fact I was turning into electricity and going through monsters, effectively killing them, or the sheer hoards of monsters chasing me. After a minute though they came back to reality and called in an army, but by the time they got there all that was left was I, with the world spinning and my face falling forward to meet the mountains of monster dust.
I could barely stay awake for more than a minute, and I kept going in and out of consciousness. Every time I woke up there was a girl next to me, and as soon as I woke up she would bombard me with questions, but before I could respond I would just make some useless noise and fall back into the realm of unconsciousness.
Finally I woke up, but I couldn't open my eyes or anything, I could just sit or rather lie there and listen to what was going on. "… can't be a son of Zeus, his smell is much more distinct and better than other children of Zeus and his smell and power radiating are even stronger than that of Zeus." I don't know who said that, but at that point thunder rumbled through the sky, and the same person that just spoke, spoke again. "Sorry, milord, but even you know it's true." This time there was no resounding thunder and the person let out a sigh of relief. It was at that moment that I got control of my body and shot out of bed. "No son of Zeus here, just Certus!" I had barely finished my sentence before my eyes were bathed in a golden light, and when it disappeared I was standing in front of a bunch of giant people on thrones, obviously the Olympian council. "Who are you demigod?" I gave the god, who was obviously Zeus with the lightning coming off him, a mock bow. "Percy Jackson at your service, son of Certus and Sally." All the gods looked at each other in confusion before Zeus turned his attention back to me. "So if you're the child of two mortals, what is that power rolling off of you?" I let out a booming laugh; making sure sparks flew out of my mouth while doing so. "Your mistaken god. My dad, Certus, was no mortal. He was the first creation of Helios, so strong that Chaos had to make Primordials to help her capture him when Helios' brother corrupted him with evil. Luckily he turned good and married my mom for almost twenty years now, and I was the result." They all stared at me shocked before Zeus charged up his little sparkler and shot it at me. Much to the surprise of the council I just laughed, and right before the lightning bolt hit me I stopped it. I then made it fly around in circles around me before shooting it into my body. The gods gasped in shock as I just grinned from the shot, and it even made me feel reenergized from all the monster fighting the past five days. Well that's assuming I wasn't out for a day or more. "S…Swear loyalty to Olympus… or else." Even though I had only known Zeus for less than an hour, even I could tell he didn't sound very confident. So I just laughed at him while firing a bolt big enough at him that even though he was the god of thunder it still hurt him. "Now, if you don't mind, I need to get back to camp." Before I could move one of the gods straightened up in his throne before green mist swirled around him.
"Perseus ruler of the skies,
Will all but meet his demise.
The only one can save him not yet found,
But it must be done for all to be sound.
With this last person the quest will go,
And find the threat with the only clues as 'time' and 'slow'.
This is the most crucial part,
The final member will be found from heart."
Suddenly the god, which I now know is Apollo, slumped down into his throne and the green mist disappeared. All the gods looked stunned before Athena raised her hand. "The first line is obviously referring to Percy here. All agreed?" Everyone rolled their eyes but nodded their head. "The second line means he will be killed, but the third and fourth line says he can be saved if we find someone. All agreed?" Everyone nodded his or her head after thinking it through. "The fifth and sixth line say that once we find this person they will go on a quest and find a threat to Olympus, but time and slow could mean only one thing, and let's pray we're wrong. All agreed?" Everyone paled, but nervously nodded their heads. "The last two lines basically suggest that Percy will have to be the one to find the final member. All agreed?" Everyone but me nodded, and the only reason I didn't was because I didn't want to find this person by myself, especially since I already knew where they were, thanks to the mind link I made with my iphone and since it already told me where… Yancy Academe.
A/N: Tell me what you think, and if you want to be a beta reader since I just found out about that. Thanks:)
