The night sky rumbled with a magnitude of lightning and terrible storms. A figure was running at an impressive speed, weaving through a massive forest. On closer inspection it was a human female, her hair was a deep ocean color.
She appeared to be in her early teens, clutching something close to her in a bundle of blankets. Her eyes widened as she heard the earth-shaking footsteps of what had been chasing her continue.
The roar the mighty beast did was enough to cause the trees nearby it to collapse. The woman winced as the beast was getting impatient in it's search. "I'm so sorry Percy..." She muttered.
Looking to the trees she found a subtle place to hide the infant from it's fate. Brushing away some leaves and branches, she used all of the force she had to punch a hole in the nearest tree to create a sizeable hole.
This however caused her to break her knuckles but she couldn't care less. She had placed the child in the tree and used the branches and leaves to hide him. Smiling at him one last time, she muttered something that caused a heavy downpour of rain to fall.
"Goodbye... my little brother. I love you Percy. I always will." She said with a tear stricken face as she took of her necklace on put it on the boy. The beast was getting closer with every second, the woman kissed her baby brother on the forehead and sprinted off with the beast in fast pursuit.
*THE NEXT DAY*
The sun rose casually over the city of Manhattan. The rainwater from the past day made the entire forest radiant to look at. Percy was still in his bundle of blankets. Yawning, he opened his eyes to see that it was indeed sunny.
Being a few months old, he really had no idea what the bright object was in the sky. But he always enjoyed it. He grimaced as he tummy rumbled causing him to cry a little at first.
Then after a few minutes of waiting, he wailed. Unbeknownst to him... there was indeed someone a little ways away. A humaniod creature sauntered it's way through this edge of the forest to find one it's favorite meditation spots.
"Today is a good day~!" The creature sung in a melodic voice. The forest felt alive within his presence. Suddenly the creature stopped dead in his tracks. 'What is that sound?' He thought.
Putting his hand to his ear. The creature concentrated as he started to listen. As soon as the next high pitched cry was heard, the creature sprinted off in the direction of the crying. Instantly he was upon the source.
Staring intently at a tree directly in front of him. He cautiously circled around it. Coming across a large hole in the tree surrounded by branches and leaves it became very curious. "It certainly looks like something caused this." He said.
Rummaging through the branches and leaves, the creature saw something peculiar. "What is a human child doing here!?" He exclaimed. The creature had a pretty shocked face that was plastered on it's face.
"No matter..." He said solemnly. "I may get in a little bit of trouble for this... Oh well. Not like anyone can do anything about it." He snickered. The baby cooed and gurgled at the figure.
"Yes little one?" The creature asked. The baby had it's arms out and made grabbing motions with them. The creature blinked. "I don't understand..." It stammered. Percy had tears forming in his eyes and let out another ear piercing wail. The creature covered his ears. "ALRIGHT! STOP CRYING!" It shouted picking the baby up.
Percy laughed while staring at the creature. It appeared to be human but with white hair covering it's body and having it neatly kept and combed. It had a white tail with a golden piece of metal on it. Bracelets were on it's wrists and ankles as well as a large bead necklace. The creature also was wearing a unique red and golden sash with a mysterious language that was written all over it. It's chest was bare while it was wearing the lower half of a tunic. It was cut in certain places to enable maximum agility. It glowed like red velvet with a gold trim all around.
Percy remained silent staring at the eyes of the creature. It looked like the whole universe emanated within them. "Well little one... I can see that you were hidden here. Sensing the energy from yesterday, you and your sibling were in deep peril. Your sister is gone though..." The creature said pitifully.
Percy made not a sound. Reaching forward, Percy placed his hands on the white fur of the creature causing him to be concerned. "Wha-" It stuttered as Percy wrapped himself in it's soft fur and fell asleep rather quickly. 'Poor child. He's still in his infancy stage. Had he'd been older, the power I can feel inside of him would have surely made him easy to find. He is very lucky.' The creature thought.
"Guess I really have no choice huh?" He said looking up at the sky. In an instant the creature vanished into thin air with the child in his arms.
*IN THE HEAVENS*
A lone figure was in bliss while mediating. The cosmos around him was in perfect harmony as planets and nebulae were orbiting in perfect motion. The room grew in light as a figure appeared before him.
Having his eyes shut, the being simply called towards the humanoid creature. "Hanuman? What brings you here?" The being asked. Hanuman bowed. Rising back to his posture he showed the being the child he was holding. "This is the reason.. Lord Shiva." He said.
Shiva slowly opened his eyes and gazed upon the sleeping child and beckoned Hanuman forward. "That child... He has the smell of a Greek." Shiva pointed out. Hanuman nodded his head. "I know my Lord. But he has a great power within him!" He blurted out.
Shiva sighed. "Very well. Let me see that child Hanuman." He demanded. Walking forward, Hanuman handed Shiva the child he was carrying. "Does this boy have a name?" Shiva asked. Hanuman shrugged his shoulders. "I have no idea my Lord." He said.
Shiva's eyes narrowed as he reached within the blankets and pulled out the necklace the child was wearing. "Interesting." He muttered. "What is my Lord?" Hanuman inquired.
"It appears this child's name is पर्सेउस. (Parsē'usa) " Shiva smiled. Hanuman blinked at this sudden situation. "Wait... My Lord... YOU aren't seriously going to..." He said stuttering.
"I may do whatever I wish Hanuman. My power is limitless. My wife Parvati will be excited. I can already tell... पर्सी (Parsī) is very special." Shiva grinned. Hanuman sighed before bellowing into a huge amount of laughter. "I understand my Lord." He said with a huge smile.
"He will be my new son... And you Hanuman will be his personal friend and bodyguard." Shiva chuckled. Hanuman stopped his laughter and stared at Shiva wide-eyed. "You've never done this before my Lord. So why now?" He inquired.
"Simple Hanuman, I intend to make Parsi a legend. A great evil is coming. Something that is equal in my power. Now Hanuman, call for a meeting. Everyone must be present if we are to begin." Shiva said cradling Percy.
Shiva put a hand on Percy and erased all of the Greek blood within him. He called Hanuman over. "Hold him." Shiva commanded. Hanuman took Percy from Shiva and held him towards Shiva. Snapping his fingers, Percy woke up. Looking at Shiva, his ocean emerald eye color changed to a strange blue and green cosmic array of colors. As if a nebula flowed through them.
"Now then. Once he meets everyone we will discuss the next phase." Shiva stated. Hanuman cradled Percy and winced in pain as he pulled out some fur on accident and giggled. "He likes you." Shiva chuckled. Hanuman laughed sheepishly. "I'm fine with that as long as he doesn't keep ripping out my hair!" He said.
Shiva took Percy back in his arms and waved off Hanuman. "Go gather the others. We must get this meeting on the way." He declared.
Hanuman bowed and made haste out of the room. "Now then Parsi. What to do with you?" Shiva said cradling Percy once more and making him coo and gurgle before holding him up.
*AND CUT*
Okay. Okay. I know Hanuman is TECHNICALLY Shiva's reincarnation/avatar. But I want him in this story too because he's super interesting and entertaining! I LOVE HIM! :D Anywho this was just a little experiment because I've been reading a lot of Percy Jackson fanfics and haven't seem a single one with the Hindu Pantheon. SOME GODS AND GODDESSES ARE FREAKING AWESOME IN IT! I will also include Norse, Celtic, Gaelic, and much more including their demigods and monsters! But again this is just an experiment. :)
