First fanfic so please don't judge to harshly!!!
I don't own percy Jackson, i am not Rick Riordan.
"The gods have not bestowed this gift on a mortal hero in many centuries, but, Perseus Jackson—if you wish it—you shall be made a god"
Zeus's voice echoed throughout the half destroyed throne room. I looked around at a few gods faces.
Zeus, looking bored, like he could have cared less that he just offered someone immortality. Athena, smirking, she knew that if I accepted the offer, I could not be with Annabeth. Ares looked annoyingly giddy, his girlfriend Aphrodite had her lips pursed and she looked like she wanted to object, but she didn't. And my father, my father looked more proud than I had ever seen him, he seemed to glow from within.
Blame my ADHD brain, but I barely even thought about it before I spoke. "Lord and Uncle, I accept your gift."
Zeus snapped his fingers and not even a minute later a beautiful eagle swept down out of nowhere; in its claws was a small golden box. The eagle dropped the box in Zeus's lap. Zeus handed the box to my father.
He opened the box and picked up, was that—it could not be a golden apple from the Garden of Hesperides. He slipped off his throne shrinking to human size. He walked towards me and handed me the apple.
"Bite it." He said with a grin that rivaled Apollo's on his face. I bit it. It was the single most amazing thin I had ever tasted; like nectar and ambrosia mixed with my mom's blue birthday cake. I devoured the apple to its core, and I was even tempted to eat that. For a moment nothing happened, I just stood in the middle of the throne room feeling everyone's eyes burning into me. Suddenly my body seized up, lead filled my limbs, and I felt warm, too warm. I was swaying, dangerously close to passing out.
I wobbled and swayed around and ended up facing Annabeth. Her skin was blotchy and her eyes were red. My head started to swim with all the things I should've considered. Annabeth, how could I forget about her? My mother! She had Paul now but how could I leave her? Why had I been so selfish? I should have thought about this. I just made a choice that altered the way my life would be forever on a whim! I would never die, I wouldn't grow old.
Oh Gods, what have I done?
