Percy's POV
When Zeus asked if I wanted to be a god, I was absolutely astounded, stunned. There was no way he was actually asking me this for the second time. This has never happened, ever.
"Perseus Jackson, the council and I have decided to give you a second opportunity to become a god. As the first time, you had things to tie you down to the mortal world, but we have decided that you deserve another chance as you DID after all save Olympus." Zeus said.
Flashback
Tonight I was meeting Annabeth at Zeus' fist. I was dressed in some blue jeans, black T-shirt and a pair of Nike high-tops. I walked to Zeus' fist to see Annabeth already waiting for me.
"Percy, I want to talk to you" she whispered. Uh oh... She was calling me Percy and not Perce or Seaweed Brain; something was wrong. Something bad as about to happen. But what was about to happen was worse than words could explain.
"I think... We should see other people." She stated. She always said I was oblivious but didn't she realize she was breaking my heart?!
Waves came crashing down on me, I couldn't think, at least not here with her in front of me. I sprinted to my cabin as fast as I could while tears ran down my face and my heart split in two. What did I do wrong?!
That was two weeks ago, at the time, I was completely devastated; she was the love of my life! But now I realize that life goes on, with or without her. I was over Annabeth and ready to move on. The fact that I could say that without lying made me proud.
"Yes, I would love to be the thirteenth Olympian" I said loud and clear. Suddenly, there was a flash and with a thud, I fell to the ground.
That was chapter 1 of The thirteenth Olympian! Yes I know this was a short chapter but I wanted a good cliffhanger. I promise future chapters will be alot longer! I want to know what you guys thought about it! Read and review!
