I don't own Percy Jackson or the Dovahzul
Oh, by the way, now there's a poll on my profile page asking who should Perseus support, Himself, The Gods or the Titans/Gigantes, take your pick people.
All of the Olympians faces went as pale as porcelain as they heard the news from the trembling daughter of Athena in front of them.
The Olympians had been awaiting his return for centuries, the eldest and most powerful son of Kronos and Rhea, the outcast, the one who had a deep hatred for all Olympians for his banishment.
The god who was so Powerful that he made the big three look as if they were mere toddlers.
"W-What happened a-at Westover?" Zeus asked the trembling daughter of Athena.
Annabeth took a deep breath and retold what she, Thalia and Kyle had all seen at Westover Hall in attempt to extract two possible demigods who had a strong aura according to Grover. Then he had arrived.
Dat Flashback Though
Thalia, Annabeth and Kyle were all running down the dark halls of Westover Hall in attempts to find the absent di Angelo twins and escort them to Camp Half-Blood.
Eventually the trio reached the outside of the Military Academy and brandished their weapons, ready for the fight they saw was inevitable in front of them. At least thirty monsters stood in front of them, snarling. The di Angelo twins were in the clutches of the Manticore, Dr. Thorn. He grinned wickedly at the three in front of him.
The three demigods let out a Battle Cry as they charged the beasts in front of them. They got off to an admirable start, decimating the first ten monsters with ease, but then they began to get overwhelmed.
Then, a flash of darkness appeared and the entire battlefield appeared to grow colder, if that was even possible due the harsh snow falling from the sky.
Everyone turned towards the flash, monsters included and what they saw did not disappoint.
A man, adorning black as night armor with spikes and a helm that resembled a dragon's head. It looked as if the dragon Alduin had taken a human form.
At his side was a Talwar, with a language engraved upon it that was unknown to the demigods and monsters alike. The man stood upon a dragon, tall and proud, it looked much like the fictional dragon Smaug, but was midnight black, just like it's master that was riding it.
The man spoke spoke one sentence that had so much authority in it, even the demigods wanted to listen to him.
"Bow or burn." There was no question in his sentence either, it was clear that if they did not bow, they would perish.
The Manticore's eyes widened as he, and most other monsters, all tensed into a battle form, readying themselves for a fight. However, all of the Hellhounds in said army dropped into a bow then ran into the shadows and disappeared from sight. The man spoke again, this time in a tone that from which the demigods suspected he was slightly ticked.
"Bow, Thorn" The Manticore stood and looked fearful of the man in front of him, yet held his ground.
"Do you and your servants bow to me?" He asked calmly, but it was clear his patience was running thin at the monsters who would not bow.
A sneer made it's way upon the Manticore's face, "We bow to Kronos and Kronos alone you Tyrant."
A small, dark, chuckle escaped the man. "Then you shall burn." He stated calmly, "Suldaan, Ag niin kolos nust kriist!" The man shouted and the dragon he was seated upon roared, and a violent blue fire erupted from it's mouth, torching the monsters in front of him as he listened to their screams of agony, which appeared to be music to his ears.
The demigods watched the scene in horror with one thought in their minds, 'There goes the di Angelos'
When the blaze cleared, there were golden ashes in place of the monsters, yet the two di Angelos stood in place, frozen in fear, yet completely unharmed, looking refreshed even. Also the ground around the frozen twins was apparently untouched, despite being torched, leaving the demigods in a state of awe.
The man looked at the demigods astonished looks and chuckled, "Yes, Eclipse Flame burns what it wants to, and leaves the rest untouched. Very nifty, wouldn't you think?" He said as he slid off the dragon and said something in a different tongue, the dragon seemingly nodded and took off.
The man took one look at the demigods in front of him and apparently scowled. "I should slay you where you stand for your parentage" he threatened
It was now that the arrogant son of Poseidon to speak up (I apologize in advance to anyone named Kyle, it was the first name that came to me) "Who do you think you are! You took away the glory of the kill from me, you will pay for that! And to top it all off, you hide your face from me! Apologize or suffer my fathers wrath you insolent dragon riding mortal!" The boy spat the world mortal as if it was a curse.
The man stared at the boy and suddenly, he flashed a very dark black and when it cleared, all of the man's armor was gone, replaced by modern clothes. A dark red beanie covering his midnight black hair. He adorned a grey T-Shirt with no logo upon it, and dark blue jeans. He wore black nike's with grey socks as he scowled at the demigod in front of him.
His face made Thalia and Annabeth swoon in awe. He had royal cheekbones, midnight black hair in a faux hawk, and his eyes were a deep mix of black, dark red, grey and midnight blue that made you want to get lost in them*. He was muscular. Not in the disgusting way like Ares was, but healthily fit, yet the demigods knew that he possessed far more strength than he let on. His Talwar was in it's scabbard at his side, and he showed no sign of being cold, despite the fact that it was almost zero outside. Around his wrists, were two black wrist bands that seemed to hum with energy, waiting to be released.
He stared down at the son of Poseidon and laughed at him. His laugh booming across the cliffs at the boy's arrogance. The boy thought he was the best in the world, there were many more greater and far more selfless than him, like Perseus, the son of Zeus, and Heracles, another son of Zeus, despite what was told of him, the hero was a great man and always did the right thing, no matter the cost of his own personal happiness. The man found it amusing that those two were so unlike their own father.
The Son of Poseidon bristled in anger and drew his blade and quickly brought it down on the man, who, quicker than even the godly eye could see, blocked the strike and disarmed Kyle, leaving him on his back upon the ground.
"Suldaan!" The man shouted, and as soon as he did, the dragon dropped from the sky, landing with a thunderous crash, shaking the ground beneath it's feet.
The dragon snarled at the boy, causing him to soil himself and scream. The man rolled his eyes and shouted to his dragon in that unfamiliar language, causing the dragon to back off and stand beside it's master. The man flashed a dark black again and he was suddenly covered in his armour, spikes and all.
The man cocked his head to the side and apparently listened for a few seconds, completely forgetting about the demigod that tried to kill him, then spoke. "Exit the shadows, Moon Goddess, or I shall slay the three where they stand." He growled.
The demigods heard a few choice words from an auburn haired goddess who was glaring holes in the man's head.
"What is your name, boy?" the Moon Goddess spat as her hunters filed out of the trees, bows armed and pointed straight at the man, who merely chuckled. The chuckle was not a lighthearted chuckle like most, no, it was a dark laugh, one that promised pain and agony to all who opposed him.
Said chuckle made all off the mortals and immortals alike shiver as they heard the man's laugh.
"Oh you vain little goddess, believing yourself to be above me, who am I? I am your reckoning, I will bring Olympus to it's knees and get my revenge, just as I promised all those years ago little moon goddess, remember these words, little goddess. I have returned, I shall have my revenge, and the stars will weep at what comes after," Were the words that escaped his mouth before he shouted for Suldaan and he was picked up by his dragon and flew away, leaving trembling, confused demigods, and a horrified goddess of the hunt.
Flashback End
The gods and goddesses of Olympus were horrified by the story. He really had returned, none of them took his final warning, his promise to laugh as they all burned I shall return, I shall conquer, I will burn your little mountain to the ground and I will assume control of this planet. And the stars shall weep at what comes after.
"Lord Zeus," the timid Annabeth said, hoping not to get struck down, "May I ask a question?" She asked fearfully.
The King of Olympus merely nodded his head, and gestured for the girl to go on, clearly deep in thought.
"Who was that man?" She asked, her pride getting the best of her, as she nearly demanded the identity of the man who nearly struck them down off of their parents from the King of the Gods who could incinerate her with a single thought.
Zeus opened his mouth the respond, but was cut off by a booming laughter and all lights in the room going out, and the same dark, sadistic laugh from earlier filled the throne room. When the light came back on, the man was standing at the Entrance of the throne room, Talwar drawn and glaring straight at the gods of Olympus.
Beside him were two figures. One of them was man, who looked to be in his early thirties, clad in Stygian Iron battle armor, with a helm that seemed to radiate fear and a sword that felt of death.
The second figure was a woman, she looked to be twenty five, in armor that seemed to be made out of fire, and she seemed to radiate hope from within her. In her hands was a short Xiphos and a Shield.
"If you must know my dear, my name is Perseus, God of Monsters, Destruction, Chaos, Fear, Death, Famine, War, Conquest, Ghosts and Eclipses. Eldest son of Kronos and Rhea. Pleasure to meet you." He smirked coldly as he looked at the 12 Olympians in front of him.
All of the Olympians cowered at the sight in front of them, yet Zeus snapped out of his shock first. "Hades, Hestia, why do you betray us for our brother, who we all agreed was to be BANISHED?!" Zeus started, yelling at the end.
He received a glare from both before Hades spoke. "If I recall, you conducted the vote whilst I was unaware in the Underworld, and whilst Hestia was out to get more wood to keep the Hearth alive, because you knew we would both vote for our brother's safety."
Zeus growled and readied his Master Bolt to strike all three of them, when Percy rolled his eyes and waved his hand, causing Zeus to begin to shiver uncontrollably and drop the bolt on the floor, then, just as the shivering stopped, leaving all the Olympians and Demigods to stare at him in Terror.
"Be quiet you rebellious upstart, be happy that Pontus refused our offer, or else you would not have your kingdom at the moment." Perseus said, causing all the Olympians to pale yet again.
Perseus had nearly recruited the Primordial of the Sea into their ranks, what else did he have up his sleeve?
"We do not want War Olympians, we only want peace and solitude in Alaska, yet should you attack us, we shall fight back, and the pit will be opened. Tread carefully Olympians," Hestia said, softly yet with enough conviction to scare all of them. The pit will be opened? Did that mean that Tartarus was awake and supported them? How had they not noticed?
A bigger question was on their mind though. How many Primordials had awoken and how had Perseus allied himself with one. Yes, he was known for his silver tongue, but a master diplomat? Not in the slightest.
"Brother, you know full well that we cannot let you leave her alive," Demeter said, regret flooding her voice. As she spoke, all of the other Olympians flashed their armor on and prepared to fight the God of Monsters.
Perseus knew why this was. Demeter and He had gotten into an argument before his banishment vote, and while her judgement was clouded by anger, she voted for him to be banished, and she later realized what a horrible mistake she had made.
Perseus sighed, "I hold no ill judgement against you Demeter, anger clouded your judgement, it has happened to us all. I do not wish for you to raise arms against me, you are still my little sister Demy," He said with a small smile on his face.
For a second, all of the Eldest Olympians, bar Zeus, saw their older brother. The one who had comforted them when they were all regurgitated by Kronos, who had a bitter hatred for his father, the one who would go any length to help the ones he cared about, the brother they all had before they turned their backs on him due to his domains, many years after the Titan War.
Demeter smiled at him and settled into her throne, happy that she did not have to hurt her brother. "Thanks, Percy." Demeter said, gratefulness filling her voice.
The rest of the Olympians were not so easily swayed, however. When Perseus noticed their coming to arms, he smirked. Perseus always liked a fight.
All the Olympians eyes widened when they saw his arms go to his wrists and take the bracelets he was wearing off. Almost immediately, everyone began to choke on the mass amount of power Perseus was releasing. Demeter, Hades and Hestia all immediately flashed out, as they had no place in this conflict.
Perseus smirked as he began to walk towards the Olympians, daring them to challenge him. The first to charge him was Artemis, angry for the way he treated her in the forest, with her silver hunting knives in hand.
Faster than the eye could blink, Perseus had his talwar and shield drawn, disarmed Artemis, and knocked her out with a roundhouse kick to the head. This infuriated Apollo, who charged Perseus, brandishing a golden broadsword. Perseus smirked and ran forward to meet his challenger.
The aura Percy was releasing began to grow stronger and stronger as Perseus traded a few blows with Apollo, before he stabbed him in the stomach and sent him flying into his throne, from which a sickening crack was heard.
The remaining Olympians began to realize that taking on the Eclipse God one at a time was not a good idea, so Ares, Dionysus and Athena, with only the War God's eyes showing regret, all charged Perseus at once, who smirked and did something that none of them could have expected. He sheathed his Talwar.
Using the Olympians surprise against them, Perseus quickly leapt at Athena, and threw her into Ares, which sent them sprawling into a pillar which then collapsed on top of both of them, effectively rendering them useless.
The three demigods were all staring at the God of Conquests in fear and awe, he had just taken down 5 Olympian gods with ease in less than three minutes, and it was sure that the next 6 were to follow.
Perseus let out a cold laugh as he redrew his talwar and threw it at Aphrodite, pinning her to her throne as she let loose a terrified scream and was unconscious in shock in a few seconds. Perseus merely raised his hand and the talwar flew out of the Love Goddess's shoulder and back into his hand, ichor stained. Perseus continued on his rampage by block from one of Hephaestus's machines, throwing it into a lightning bolt that had come from Zeus, and getting it blasted into Hera who slouched over, unconscious.
Percy grinned as he flipped over a blast of water and fire, and watched in amusement as they slammed into the others sender, blasting Hephaestus across the room and stunning Poseidon effectively. As he landed though, a vine smacked him into the stomach and threw him to the side. He growled, he had forgotten about the wine god. Said god looked rather smug that he had landed a hit on him, so Perseus retaliated by letting loose a torrent of Eclipse Flame upon the vines that surrounded the Insanity God's body can listened in joy as he heard his screams of agony before the flames went out and he fell unconscious.
With only Poseidon, Zeus and Hermes left, Perseus let loose a deranged grin as his hands were suddenly engulfed in a familiar violent blue inferno. Perseus then spun around, aimed his hands at Hermes, and let loose a torrent of fire, which blasted the messenger god off of his feet, and right into the weakened Poseidon, taking both of them out.
With only Zeus left, the King of the Gods was beyond nervous, his older brother had taken out ten Olympians without a second thought, and he was currently headed towards the King of the Gods. That is when the Demigods acted.
Kyle, the arrogant child he is, charged Perseus, sword over his head, and brought it down on the new God, who heard him coming, spun around with his talwar in a deadly arc, slicing through the front of Kyle's chest, before spartan kicking him back into the daughter of Athena, who struggled to get Poseidon's spawn off of him. Perseus then charged the daughter of Zeus, when he heard a crackling behind him, he dove to the side and watched in amusement as a massive lightning bolt slammed into Thalia, sending her flying back into Annabeth, finally knocking both of them out.
"That was pretty cowardly Zeus, hiding behind your own children to take on a god who is far more powerful than you," Perseus said, rolling his eyes as he let his Talwar fly out of his hands, have the hilt hit the God King in the head, while the blade then stabbed him in the stomach.
When all of the room's occupants were disabled, Percy looked around at the room sadly. Pillars were broken, Eclipse fire still raged around the room, and it looked as if Olympus had just fallen. Perseus sighed.
"I never wanted this, my family. I loved you all dearly, but you all have changed. Your egos have gotten the best of you and you all need to learn a lesson. Banishing me was one thing, but imprisoning my wife while she was pregnant with my child was unacceptable, even if I did free her mere hours later. Hear my words Olympus, I do not want War, but I will act as my father did if necessary. I will not let one declare war upon me then go down without a fight." Perseus muttered as he vanished in a flash of black.
4 hours later
When Apollo came to, he looked around in shock at the carnage around him. The throne room was in ruins, the other Olympians were clearly unconscious, if not dead, and there was still blue fire blazing all around them. Apollo quickly set to worked and in about an hour, all the Olympians and Demigods were healed, conscious, and had very wounded egos.
"Father?" Thalia asked Zeus, curiosity overcoming her fatigue, "Why is Perseus so angry with Olympus?" She asked, wanting to know why the dragon riding badass had such a grudge against the Olympian Gods.
Zeus was about to respond, but was cut off by Aphrodite, who had a sad look in her eyes. "It is our fault. Eons after the Titan War had ended, and Dionysus had just joined the council, the Fates finally decreed Perseus's dominans, Monsters, Destruction, Chaos, Fear, Death, Famine, War, Conquest, Ghosts and Eclipses. As you can imagine, that didn't sit well with all of us, so we treated Perseus as a monster, an outcast, I mistake I wish I could take back. However, Perseus was fine with it, he had a wife and a baby on the way so he couldn't be happier with his life, even if his family hated him."
Here Aphrodite took a deep breath, as the next part seemed to be hard for her to voice.
"When the vote of Perseus's banishment came, all the Gods except Hades and Hestia voted for his banishment, which he took with his head held high, until Zeus mentioned that he was also going to throw his wife into Tartarus, and wished for a vote for this too." Here Aphrodite sent a scalding glare at Artemis, who shivered every so slightly.
"Perseus's wife is Selene, titaness of the Moon and Night, so when her imprisonment came onto the table, a certain pair of twins jumped at the opportunity to rule the sun and moon, even though it was not theirs to rule. Alas, the vote went through, even though I tried to stop it, and Selene was banished to Tartarus, and Perseus had to watch as a certain moon goddess shoved her in the pit and laughed as she fell. Needless to say, Perseus dove in after her, but when he finally found her in the pit, it was too late. Their child was dead, before even given the chance to see the world, and to this day, Perseus has held an unbridled hatred for all the Olympians who voted for his and his wife's banishment." Aphrodite finished sadly, as she began to cry into her hands.
The three demigods all seemed to be having different trains of thought. Thalia felt immense pity for her uncle, whose child died before it even could say the word 'Da,' Annabeth's mind was running at a million miles an hour, trying to figure out a way that her family was not in the wrong in this situation, and Kyle believed that Perseus got what he deserved, a monster like that deserved the pain he was given (That last sentence was hard for me to write)
Little did they know, that in Alaska, Perseus had just been reunited with his wife, and recieved some wonderful news as well.
Well, that happened. New story, yay. This was just and Idea I has one day and decided to actually write it while waiting for an email from google on how to fix my drive. Oh, and Percy being Demeter's role model and such, her not wishing to fight him, etc., that'll come into play later, I promise. I didn't just pick Demeter for no reason other than she doesn't get a lot of show time.
You also may have noticed that Percy let all the Olympians and Demigods live. That'll also come into play. Also, I have already decided pairings for this story, so no hectic vote this time.
Anyone catch either of the small easter eggs I placed in there? I'll give you a few hints. Darksiders and Shadow the Hedgehog. The first person to figure both of them out gets a shoutout for being awesome
Also, stop bugging me on the Flying Sea and Reading Everlasting Promises. You people are acting like I don't even want to write those anymore, even though those are my two favorite stories, I am just as pissed off bud.
Also, I will be using Elder Scrolls dragon tongue for a lot of names, so get the translator up if you want.
*Still Awkward, for those of you who get this reference, kudos, I officially name you awesome
Peace out my Faithful ProcrastiNation
