Disclamer:I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians series

Prologue

It was a clear blue day, the ocean was glistening and the sun was just beginning to set.

A boy named Perseus Jackson was covered in cloth and blankets. Perseus was in a deep sleep, dreaming about these strange objects that kept trying to hit him.

Suddenly a bright light flashed and a beautiful woman appeared. The goddess Hera looked upon the child and gasped as she saw the child fully now.

The child had bright sea-green eyes and jet black hair. Hera suddenly was filled with rage, "POSEIDON!" she cursed to the heavens, before she picked up the child in her arms and disappeared.

POV: Zeus

"SILENCE," I had to yell over the commotion of the council of gods and goddesses.

Apollo yelped and we all turned to see Hera, my wife, come storming in.

"Hello my dea-"I said before she cut me off and growled to Poseidon

"Why? Why would you do this?"

Poseidon looked to me confused but Hera continued

"Don't play dumb with me Poseidon!" she screeched

I automatically reached out to restrain her before she did something bad but she just shook me off. I gave her a long hard warning look that made her rethink and calm down before resuming to what she needed to say. After calming down she looked at me and I nodded for her to continue. She reached into her robes while saying calmly although injecting a leer into her voice.

"What do you make of this Poseidon? Does he look familiar?"

Poseidon turned a very deep sea green and looked sick.

I looked and saw a baby with sea-green eyes and jet black hair.

I was fuming with anger, thunder and lightning flashed and rumbled. My hair stood up on end and I snarled

"You!" before I lunged, then it was Hera holding me back from my "dear" brother. I shook her off quickly with a blast of lightning, she crumpled and I ran towards my brother, my fists already ready for the first swing. Poseidon didn't even make one move to defend himself and a large crack echoed in the hall as my fist connected with his nose. I wrestled him to the ground and got in a few more punches before; Apollo, Hermes, and Hephaestus, forced me to release him. I then got up and shook my robes clean and went to sit on my throne, at least I still had respect for myself I grumbled to myself. Hera shot me a look a look of pure evil before moving to help my brother.

Poseidon was still on the ground when I sat on my throne and I clapped my hands to remove the ichor that had gathered on his face. He groaned then got up and went to his throne, he glanced at me with apologies in his eyes but I didn't care he broke the pact. But before I could say anything else Hera stepped up and slapped me on the face. I looked at her in surprise, but she just slapped me again before leaning towards my ear and whispering

"Let me remind you that you broke the pact yourself, twice"

I glared at her, how DARE she bring something like that up at a time like this. But then I sighed it really wasn't worth the fight that was going to come from arguing.

"Poseidon, you broke the pact and had a child with a mortal." I paused as he sighed and mumbled an apology sarcastically. I tried not to let that get to me.

"But, what matters now is what to do with the child." I said as a matter of fact hinting that he was forgiven. It worked he smiled but then slumped back into an expression of depression. I raised my eyebrow but before I could comment Apollo spoke out.

"Why was he alone in the first place?" he wondered out loud. Everyone looked at Hera for the answers she after all was the one who found the baby. She shook her head to show that she had no idea why the child was left alone. Poseidon cleared his throat and we all looked at him.

"I believe that the boy's mother is dead" he whispered I stare at him in shock how did he know that? I didn't need to wonder long though. Poseidon clear is throat again as he began to speak.

"The boy's mother was Sally Jackson, I fell in love with her and for two months we were together, before she got pregnant." He took a deep breath and continued "After getting her pregnant I left for a while but came back just before the child was born. She planned to name him Perseus or Percy for short. I never found out what happened because later she vanish and so I thought my son vanished as well"

During the entire time I listened in shock. After Poseidon finished I felt really bad it must have been hard for him if he knew this the entire time. I took pity on my brother even though he was happily married for many years before this. It was still hard on me losing anyone that was close to me although I would never admit that.

By now the thunder subsided and the storm gone. Everyone looked at me for my input on the situation. I glared at Poseidon while I spoke, my voice rumbling

"I have made the rule clear that we aren't allowed to have any contact with our children"

Poseidon butted in before I could finish that though and he too rumbled

"No, I am not leaving my child in the care of anyone except myself"

I was about to make a remark to that but a loud piercing wail cut through all the noise. I looked for the source of the sound and thought great just what I need right now. Poseidon however gently took the child, Perceus, from Hera's arms and hushed until Perceus quieted. Hera glared at me the entire time though. Great just what I need right now I grumbled; now I had a crying baby and an angry wife. Athena spoke up for the first time since Hera appeared.

"I think that the rule should be changed for Poseidon, I personally agree with Poseidon and refuse to let you put that child into the hands of mortals." She said firmly.

"But-ttt" I stuttered

"But what?" Athena answered upset now.

"What is so special about the child that we need to protect it? This isn't the first time a young demi-god has been left like this but we need interfered before, so pray tell me why should we now?" I asked confident that she wouldn't be able to answer. So it shocked me when she smiled and sweetly replied

"It just so happens that I have been talking to the fates and they told me that a powerful demi-god is to be born. One that will save Olympus, one that will be born of the sea. And killing this young one might be sealing our fate to doom."

I considered that, it could be true but I needed to talk to the fates myself then again Athena is not the one to lie so I must trust her judgement. She is after all the goddess of wisdom and battle strategy. I shrugged then gave in.

"Fine, Poseidon you may raise the child in your realm."

Poseidon smiled at Athena for the first time in a long time and shockingly she returned the smile.

Then suddenly

Boom

I waited and looked at the rest of the council they also were surprised. At first I thought it was a joke but after the second boom I rose ready to investigate the source of the sound.

Boom

Another one shook the walls this time, and then the gates of Olympus opened for the first time in a week and through the door came a voice. I looked down to see a person wrapped in bandages that I knew was the oracle, but what was the oracle doing here in Olympus. The figure gasped then in a voice had the tone of a grave, out came the next great prophecy.

After sixteen winters a child will pass

After sixteen harvests the decision will be made

That will save the world from perishing

The mighty will crumble

And the weak will rise

The fate of life will reside in a kin of the sea's hands

I waited until it was done and I thought over that usually the prophecies where in riddles, it seemed to goat me. I had no idea what this one might be but I certainly never have heard it before. I didn't even notice until now that the oracle had left the room.

"Well, that settles it" said Aphrodite "The child will stay with Poseidon, but when old enough he will be trained for what is to come."

"I for once have to agree with you Aphrodite, preparing the child will certainly help." Said Athena who had her eyes closed, because she was concentrating.

"I agree as well" I thundered

"What is to come what?" growled Ares

"Seriously Ares you can't be that thick headed." said Artemis "It is obvious that Poseidon's child Perseus is the one that the prophecy is referring to, about life perishing unless he can stop it."

"Oh, well why you didn't just say so" shot Ares.

Artemis stood up but slowly sat back down, as if deciding it wasn't worth the fight right now when we have a problem on our hands. She did however roll her eye which I thought was funny because she made a snorting sound while she did.

Well there wasn't much more to be done. I looked around the hall, everyone was sitting except for Poseidon who was standing and murmuring to his son. I groaned as I suddenly realised what Athena was talking about, preparing the child. She meant that she wanted us to give the child extra powers to aid him.

How could I have not seen this?

I thought to myself, but it was too late I already agreed. I silently chose his mentors. All the gods were looking at me now for instructions.

"We will start training when he is seven and as he get older we will start to really focus on battle skills. Now Apollo will teach him archery and healing because those are bound to be helpful, Poseidon can help him with his elemental skill, sword fighting, and the use of other weapons, Ares you will help if needed, Athena if you don't mind you will teach the child how to use its brain, and I will give the boy power over the sky and will teach him how to control it." I pause to see if anyone wanted to add anything but since no I dismissed then with a wave of my hand. What on earth have I gotten myself into?
