Chapter 1. My Life sucks

Percy's POV

Its been a while since the war with Gaea ended. Our victory came at a price though, Leo lost his life. During the final battle I went one on one with Gaea. And guess who won? This demigod. Everyone at camp seemed to be happy for me. Except two very important people. Jason, and Anabeth. For a week Anabeth has been completely ignoring me. And Jason is a completely different case. He is always trying to upstage me, at everything, sword fighting, pegasus riding,etc. etc. And since he could never beat me at any of these things he just tries to hurt my moral.

So one day I just needed to think. After the camp was asleep, I my left cabin to go to the beach. The sea always soothes me, its a Poseidon thing. When I got there, I heard two voices.

"Oh Jason, you are so much better than that sea rat I was dating."

"Yea, Poseidon sucks, and Percy's a jerk. He thinks he's so great. Just 'cause he killed Earth Face. No big deal right?"

They began to kiss each other again. But I couldn't stand it anymore. "Anabeth!?" I screamed. "Why would you do this to me?" I was so hurt I couldn't even see straight. Jason spoke up. "She couldn't stand being with you anymore. Deal with it." I ignored him and turned to Anabeth. "Are you happy?" I asked her on the verge of tears. The question seemed to take her by surprise. But she finally spoke. "Yea I am, sea rat. Happier than I was with you." Her and Jason began to laugh. I was so heart broken that I just ran into the Ocean. That was the only place I could go. As I began to go under Jason yelled "Coward son of Neptune! Go play with your fishies!" I dove under.

Its been a long while since I joined my father under the sea. A year and a half to be exact. My Dad manipulated the mist to make it seem like i had been at school all those days. But I was definitely not on break. My dad insisted on training me one on one with sword fighting and using my powers. My father had given me a gift known as spirit of the sea. It was sort of like the curse of Achilles,except only Poseidon kids could get it. When I was with my dad, I got complete control over my powers. I had some big accidents though. Hurricane Sandy, well, I'm sorry about that...But by the time I was finished training,I was as powerful as any Olympian. I thought that training hard would get my mind of of Anabeth,well, I was wrong. Every night I cried, just thinking about her.

Anyway, one day Zeus called me to Olympus. I entered the throne room to find all the gods and goddesses looking at me. Especially Aphrodite. I kneeled at Zeus's thrown. "Perseus Jackson! Since you no longer have any ties to the mortal world, will you become a god?"

"yes" I said

"Good'' Then Zeus began chanting in Ancient Greek but I understood it perfectly."Perseus Jackson, God of Tidal waves,Tides,Demigods,Riptides,Sword Fighting and Quests. Your symbols will be your sword Anaklusmos and The Black Pegasus Blackjack who is also now a god. May Chaos guide you and keep you." What happened next was horrifying it made bathing in the Styx sound like a bubble bath. A Golden fire spread across my body. Hotter than the sun. A Noise like a million waves blocked out all other sounds. My muscles felt like they were being torn. My blood felt like it had been replaced with poison and acid. But when the pain stopped I was kneeling, and I caught my reflection in the marble floors. My eyes were even brighter green, i was deeper tanned,my muscles were ripped,and i was taller. I felt unlimited power coursing through my veins. All the Goddessess gasped. Except Aphrodite, she just look at the ground and blushed.

Dang she was beautiful." Percy, you will be staying with Aphrodite until Anabeth builds you pallace. And Riptide is now better" I pulled out the pen. It was now sleek silver with the words riptide on it. I uncapped it and as soon as I did, I felt power in my veins. Riptide was glowing gold, and the edges has been replace by a metal that looked like waves trapped in glass. I came to identify the metal in my time with my father. Oceanic Steel. I thanked my dad and went outside to the courtyard.
