Hey guys, Xyleriuz here and this is my first ever fanfic on here so please do enjoy.
Comments, reviews, and ideas are welcomed since I'm new to this.
This is a PercyxArtemis story, so do enjoy it.
I'll never own anything about Percy Jackson and the Olympians or Heroes of Olympus, credit goes to Rick Riordan.
I'm trying to stray away from other stories concept, but I'll blindly put some ideas without knowing, so I'm giving you guys a heads up.
Chapter 1/ Introduction
Percy
The Giant War was finally over, we suffered many casualties during it, but the seven of us still managed to survive with minimal injuries. The Hunters lost about one fourth of their members leaving Artemis sadden by it, breaking her proud ego. Right now all of the seven plus Nico and Reyna were standing before the Gods of Olympus starting with Zeus in the middle being the King of Olympus, left of him is my father, Poseidon, then after him Apollo, Hermes, Hephaestus, Ares, and Dionysus. Right of Zeus was Hera, the Queen of Olympus, then Demeter, Aphrodite, Athena, and finally Artemis.
Right now Zeus was giving his perfecto speech, and when I mean by perfecto, I mean his long and boring speech,"He really should be the God of Theatrics and Drama, I wonder why the Fates haven't given him those domains yet." I thought to myself. Maybe I should make that one of my requests since I'm declining godhood. I wonder what his face would look like when I ask him that? Damn you ADHD!
"Heroes!" Zeus boomed(Pun totally intended)" For your actions and helping us defeat Gaea and slaying the giants, I'm honored to bestow you special gifts for your services in this dark hour." Then he started to call us up one by one. Starting with Jason.
Zeus shifted into his Roman form."Jason, for being apart of the seven and helping us gods, I wish to bestow you godhood, my boy. Do You accept?" Jason stood there mouth agape before looking at us, Piper nodding her head and Leo giving him a thumbs-up. Jason turned to his father and said " I accept, father." Zeus suddenly smiled. Zeus sent a bolt at him and Jason started to glow and finally the glow started to settle down. After that the rest of the seven, Nico, and Reyna accepted godhood until it was just me left. What shattered my heart was when Annabeth happily accepted godhood, not even looking at me.
Jason became the minor god of lightning, air, and heroes.
Piper became the minor goddess of beauty, emotions, and heroes
Frank became the minor god of transformation and heroes, plus getting rid of his life stick, courtesy of Mars.
Hazel became the minor goddess metals, riches, and heroes.
Leo became the minor god of fire, machines, and heroes.
Nico became the minor god of the dead, shadows, souls, and heroes.
Reyna became the minor goddess of war and heroes.
Annabeth became the minor goddess of architecture, war tactics, and heroes, along with her title, Architect of Olympus.
Rubbing my eyes, they stung from my salty tears, totally forgetting that Zeus called me up."PERSEUS!" Zeus nearly screamed at me, almost busting my eardrum. I wobbled slowly to him still heartbroken that Annabeth accepted. I kneeled to Zeus , then to my father. " Percy, you can't stay out of the fight. You saved us just like the rest. Even though you declined this once before, we bestow godhood to you. Do you accept and I hope you make the right decision." Already knowing my answer, I said just like before, " No." Then I got a feeling of deja vu. The gods were a storm full of emotions, mostly confusion and/or surprise, except Zeus who was fuming, looking like a tomato." No?!" Zeus bellowed(Like before, totally intended.) Not wanting to become a burnt Percy, "I'm honored, but I do want some gifts and you must swear on the Styx that you'll do it." "If it's in our power, we can grant you it and I swear by the River Styx to grant you your wishes if it's in our power." Cue lightning boom. "All right, first I want Lord Hades and Lady Hestia to have thrones in the council, second I want all the peaceful titans to be free like Leto and Calypso." Then a smirk came across my face" Finally I want you, Zeus, to be the God of Theatrics and Drama." Laughter filled the room. Zeus was red from the request. "Very well, I grant you those gifts and Hermes, go get Calpyso and the peaceful titans." Hermes teleported away. Zeus then clapped his hands and to thrones appeared, on being pitch black with soul design on it beside Poseidon and Apollo, and the other being a leather home chair beside Hera and Demeter. Hades giving a curt nod at me before teleporting to his throne, while Hestia hugged me tightly me that it felt like Tyson's hug on steroids, " Thank You!" She said over and over. Hestia is my favorite goddess, plus she's my aunt. Now that I though about it, my family tree is messed up completely, not wanting to go into detail. Finally she stopped hugging me sensing that I was turning blue like the water and teleported to her throne. " Meeting Adjourn-" Zeus started to say but my father said smugly" Remember you have to become the God of Theatrics and Drama." My father nearly to the point were he would eventually fall off of Olympus if he kept rolling on the ground laughing. "Fine." Zeus said before calling the Fates. When they appeared, they looked at him and said in unison " What do you want?"" I swore on the River Styx to Perseus here to become the God of Theatrics and Drama." Zeus said flustered that he said that to the Fates. They smiled at him and it was weird since I thought that the Fates never smiled at all. They granted him it which was hilarious when it came to be. When they left, everybody was laughing was laughing while I smiled a bit before remembering what happened and started to tear up. Then Zeus said " It's party time!"
The party was wild, the music was blaring in the background thanks to Apollo acting like a drunk Dj. The Hunters were glaring at any male that tried to go near them, wanting to dance with them. Everyone was enjoying it, me, on the other hand, didn't enjoy it at all. I tried to avoid people and trying to get out of the Throne Room. When I finally reached it, I heard someone say " Where are you going, Perseus?" I froze thinking that I somehow know that voice. I turned around and froze some more. I saw Artemis looking at me with her silver eyes and she was in her 18 or 19 year old form. Her auburn hair cascaded down her back. I stared at her, lost in my thoughts thinking that she was beautiful, but immediately killing those thoughts and sending them somewhere dark in my head. "N-no where." I said scared that if I made a wrong move, she'll turn me into a jackalope." Oh, okay." she said then turning around and walking back to her hunters. " That was a close one." I thought then opening the door, then slipping away.
So, how did I do? To me, I think that I did fairly okay. So anyways so tell me how you thought about my first attempt at this stuff. Ideas and help is welcomed since I think I did a poor job. PM me if you want and tell me that way. Anyways, this Xyleriuz and I'll update soon, if this story isn't crap.
