Forgotten but not yet avenged whispered the darkness. For he of all people should be known and remembered as a hero but… this was not always the Greek way.
Long ago near the beginning of the 2000's lived a young man by the name of Perseus Achilles Jackson. Percy as he grew to be called was no ordinary man, he was a man with extraordinary powers and an ancient god as his father.
This God was Poseidon, the god of the ocean and horses. By the ancient laws Poseidon was forbidden to interfere directly with Percy's life and so he struggled with many hardships.
Most prevalent of these being attacked and harassed by a variety of bloodthirsty monsters. Being the son of Poseidon Percy attracted monsters who sought to destroy the children of the gods
Amazingly and inexplicably Percy managed to ward off all of these attacks. Although later on was heard to have said enormous "dogs" would come help him in his times of dire need.
As young Percy grew up his mother Sally began to realize it was time to separate herself from Percy and send him to a place called Camp Half-Blood, upon his arrival at the "camp" his fellow campers stared at him with awe with the realization and reveal of him being a son of Poseidon.
Soon in the years to come he was an instrumental part of what was to be named the Titan war and soon after the Giant war. His determination and loyalty already making him one of the most respectable and achieved hero.
Yet his story has not concluded. This is the full story of Perseus Achilles Jackson.
Percy POV
What did I get for all I've done for Olympus? Well for a start I got betrayed and blamed for a crime I didn't even commit. And guess what? This all happened in the confines of one July 5th 2017.
Tell me that doesn't sound like a great Tuesday. At least I still have my sense of humor. Well at least on the inside anyway, my outerior isn't exactly welcoming.
Anyway what a horrible day that was.(Flashback start) I was on my way to meet my beautiful girlfriend on the beach. I couldn't wait to see her, just thinking about her caused butterflies in my stomach. Today was finally the day where we would talk about marriage and our future together.
Suddenly I felt a tremor of unease. I could feel eyes on me, I sped up in hopes of losing my pursuers and checking if Annabeth is okay. Before I moved another inch a very obnoxious and familiar voice shout "STOP".
As I turned to respond and face the familiar sounding stranger I saw him to be none other than the infamous Ares the greek god of war. As I stared in shock I conjured up a weak "why"
"Well" he said as he put on a suspicious sinister looking grin "you have been summoned to the Olympian council for your trial". Before I could ask what the trial was for he teleported us into the throne room.
When we got there I took a quick glance around and realized all the minor gods, demigods, and nature spirits were all there. So being the quick witted person that I am I said "hello".
This unexpectedly triggered a chorus of loud voices arguing amongst themselves. Zeus then yelled "silence" which shut everyone up real quick. "Perseus Jackson you have been accused of aiding the forces of Gaea during the Giant war".
Jake son of Athena has been the lead investigator in this investigation and has found evidence regarding Perseus's betrayal". Zeus preceded to show and explain a few video taken through a iris message.
The videos pieced together showed someone who looked exactly like me aiding Gaea by providing intel about our armies, supplies, and latest news from Olympus. It looked to me that it was indisputable evidence even though I DID NOT DO IT
The demigods that are gathered in the room went from defending me to cheering for my execution
As I started to defend myself I was immediately cut off by Zeus who said "the council and I will convene to decide your punishment". Through rapid words in ancient Greece the gods began to communicate and just mere moments later it seemed they have reached a decision.
The council eyed me differently, some with disgust others with anger and some with a mixture of the two.
With only one face resembling pity and that being Hestia. After what felt like millenia Zeus spoke up"the council deems you guilty of aiding Gaea and you shall be sent into exile in tartarus as an immortal for all of eternity".
Looking around I see my friends staring at with with varying degrees of contempt. Even… Annabeth, I see her now staring at me with a vengeance that could rival Ares. Seeing her look at me like that was worst than anything I have ever felt before even far more painful than the river Styx could ever be
She was my rock, the one that I could always rely on and now she was gone, swept away by the illusion I was working for Gaea.
Lost in pondering my heartbroken thoughts, I only vaguely heard the crowd roaring at me, only vaguely saw Zeus pull out a lightning bolt and I only vaguely felt the lightning bolt hit me.
Where was I, I thought as I surveyed the massive creator I was in. "Oh no" I whispered as I looked upon the endless miles of charred rock and monster corpses, I'm in tartarus.
Memories began to pour back into me causing me to tremble with rage, how could they, after all i've done for them, they will all pay! A single memory crosses my mind of Annabeth looking at me with disgust. I freeze, my brain refuses to process, and then… I snap
My fury knows no bounds I unleash an explosion not unlike the one on mount saint Helens but much more powerful
I felt my life force draining out of me and in my last moments I caught a glimpse of a man in black striding towards me.
I slowly rose off my bed, wait my bed? "Greetings Perseus". I turned to see the guy in black standing at the doorway of the room"I am Erebus primordial god of Darkness and master of all hellhounds and I am your father"
(flashback end)
I smirked to myself after I remembered that particular part, I was so shocked that Poseidon had actually adopted me from birth I fell off the bed, and now I finally know why hellhounds have helped me since I was a small child.
After that I was so sure nothing else could surprise me and then he told me I had been unconscious for over 4,000 years in a coma so deep, even he a primordial god could not bring me out of it a deep and put him on the throne. With my newfound powers(which are Shadow traveling easily, fading into darkness,see in the dark, and summoning hellhounds who will follow my every command) I will obliterate anyone who dares to try and stop me.
Mark my words, we will destroy Olympus, for I am the king of shadows, I am the Prince of Darkness, I AM THE SON OF EREBUS!
