Author's Note: I just watched The Sea of Monsters. Dammit. If they messed up the plot that much, at least give Thalia more screen time...*Sobs* AND WHY WASN'T PERCY TURNED INTO A GUINEA PIG?!
Ummm, no OCs. Well, no OCs who are main characters. I hate OCs. :P
Trojan Lightning
Prologue
The gods of Olympus have always found consorts in the mortal world below, conceiving offspring known as demigods. These demigods have often become great heroes, as often as they have become notoriously known villains, but the average demigod is used by the gods as instruments of their will.
This has always been, and it always will be.
The gods do not limit their consorts to simply noblemen, or noblewomen. They have chosen many different personalities from many different classes to fit its role, whether it be from stockbrokers or starlets, rich or poor. Those with nothing but a few rags and those with enough money to fill a skyscraper...the lives of demigods have seen them all. For the gods choose not by the things that divide humans, but by the character and strength of the people, for the new generation of demigods will need all of that to maintain peace through the whole world by challenging and destroying creatures and such that rise from the bottomless pit that is Tartarus.
Yet no one can foretell the future.
No one can predict the decisions of humans or demigods, such fickle and flighty creatures they are. We cannot prevent a young demigod from straying from what they were born to do, from what they are supposed to do. We cannot be sure that the goodness born naturally with demigods will weather through the harshness and austerity of the mortal world. A demigod may have ties to the almighty Olympian gods, and they may have powers that only mortals can dream of, but they are still completely liable to be human.
Humans are known to harbor resentments for extended periods of time. They hold grudges that they cannot let go of...and while some may control them, others become possessed by the hunger of revenge.
This is the story of one such demigod, a demigod who craved their father's attention...praise...love.
But gods are very fickle creatures, and they are not to be relied upon.
And so, embittered and furious, it ended that this demigod's will and loyalty was driven towards the dark.
Towards Tartarus.
Towards a Titan named Kronos.
End Notes: So! I am embarking on a re-write of the Percy Jackson series...in which Percy is not a main character. He's not going to be a character at all...well, until maybe the end of the fifth book. Long live Percabeth!
