Hey readers! ThatOneRepairBoy here. I decided to write a new story, and for once, I have the entire plot set up. Updates will be 2 days at the earliest, and a week at the latest. That's all for now, enjoy!
Prologue
Only few know what happened that day in the Olympian throne room, and those who do know are forced to secrecy, or outlaws, hunted for a reward. Only few know the horrendous actions of the Council, and what they have tried to bury with the blood of others. To really understand what happened, we must see it through the eyes of one who didn't understand. One who was betrayed, and murdered.
Percy POV
The day it happened was bright and sunny, my favorite kinda day. I slowly walked out of my cabin, stretching my arms and legs, hearing multiple, satisfying cracks. Then, I looked around the beautiful place I call home. Camp Half-blood was shining majestically in the morning light; a sight I saw often. It was two years after the Gigantomachy, and many things had changed. For one, my mother had had a child with Paul that was born 3 weeks after I had arrived back at camp from fighting the Giants. Another thing is Leo came back. He arrived on camp looking really bad ass on his dragon, with Calypso in his arms. It was pretty awesome if I do say so myself. He and Calypso really love each other, and I'm really glad they got together. Leo's become more stable, grounded, in a way, and Calypso's more than happy to be off that unbearable island with Leo. All in all, they're very happy with each other, something I'm grateful for.
I had begun to train more, a lot more. Every day I got up early, before everyone else, training on my physical body and more. I wanted to be prepared for any new threats that could come to face me. For one, I had trained my mind to be sharp and quick thinking, as well as witty. I had become extremely fit; I had worked out even more and pushed myself to the limit. Doing that, I had made myself very muscular, but still lean and tall. My skill with the sword and spear was unmatched in camp, even by Chiron. I had learned martial arts, things like Kung-Fu, Judo, Karate, Tae-Kwan-Doe, Jujitsu, and made my own style I called Slay. Additionally, my powers of Hydro-kinesis had grown exponentially, almost on par with Triton. I had matured a lot more, and in more ways than one, I was not the young, reckless, dorky boy I once was.
Annabeth and I were still going steady, though she had devoted more and more time to working on Olympus and rebuilding it. Though that was fine by me, it gave me more time to train. Don't think we were breaking apart from each other; it was quite the contrary. When we did see each other, we spent every single minute together, either training or just relaxing together, loving each other's embrace.
It was 6 AM and virtually no one was up but me, so I took advantage of this alone time to go down to the beach. I was wearing dark tan cargo pants and a sea blue muscle shirt, my deep black hair swept to the side in luxurious waves. As I walked past all the cabins on my route to the beach, I thought in depth about everything that had been happening. 'So many things have changed,' I thought indifferently, 'it's like I'm living in an alternate universe.' I ran my hands through my hair uncomfortably. It was hard being out war; I was still on edge, like something was about to happen when nothing was.
As soon as I arrived at the beach, I broke into a sprint towards the water. I couldn't wait to get in, swim, and let the water rejuvenate me and clear my mind. As soon got I got a couple feet from the ocean, I made a large 100-foot ramp out of the sea water, running up it with the liquid propelling me forward. Just as I reached the top, I jumped, twisting my body into back-flips and somersaults. As soon as I was close to the surface, I turned my formation into a dive and went straight to the bottom like a bullet. As I hit the sea floor, I relaxed my body and sat in a meditating position, calming my mind and becoming one with the water. A new power I had found was that if I meditated under the water, could, in a way, see everything. Every fish, any disturbances, etc. I called it Sea Vision. I had a limited area of a few miles, but the more I did it the farther I could see.
Sound waves on the top of the water calling my name broke me out of my trance. I opened my eyes and shot up to see who it was, and time seemed to slow down when I broke the surface. I saw the most angelic face, her glistening blonde hair, glorious smile, and beautiful tan skin all came together to make a perfect woman. More specifically, my woman.
"Annabeth! You're back,'" I called out happily, landing in front of her smoothly. She had been gone for three weeks, and I had most definitely missed her like hell. She set her luggage bags down, smiling. "Of course I am Seaweed Brain! I couldn't stay away long now could I? I've got someone to come back to." I gave her my biggest smile and hugged her like I never had before. I let her out of my embrace and gazed into her eyes, those beautiful gray eyes, and just melted away. "Percy, I love you," she said contently. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath of the salty sea air. "I love you too."
The next two hours we just spent walking along the beach catching up and sitting watching the sun rise. By 8:00, people were up wandering, so Annabeth and I decided to go to the big house to hang out. I saw Jason and Piper cuddling on the couch watching Finding Dory, though Jason had tears flowing down his face. I turned away from the funny sight to grab a Coke from the fridge, then I sat down next to them, Annabeth taking up the remainder room on the sofa. "Hey Percy," Jason said, his eyes glued to the TV, "sorry I'm crying, it's just this part really sad…" I gave a light chuckle as Piper mouthed to me, 'he's a sucker for these movies'. I put my arm around my girl, twirling her golden locks between my fingers to keep me busy.
About 30 min. Later, Leo, Hazel, and Frank walked in, laughing at one of Leo's jokes. "Hey guys, welcome, we're almost finished with Finding Dory, but if you want to watch the end with us, be my guest. Also, there are a couple of Cokes and some Mountain Dew if you want some." They looked at each other and shrugged Hazel and Leo coming to sit down while Frank got a Coke. "Hey you want some Leo," Frank called over his shoulder. "No thanks man, I'm more of a Pepsi person." Frank raised his eyebrow but closed the fridge and joined Leo and Hazel on the edge of the couch.
Just as the movie finished up, I thought on what we could do next. It wasn't always we had the whole gang together, everyone had their own agendas. "So… what to next," Leo asked awkwardly. "Well, I guess it depends on how long everyone's staying here, especially Frank and Hazel…" I said, looking over at them. Frank shrugged, "I've got all day, Reyna said she can hold down the fort and that I deserve a day off. I tried to turn it down but she insisted." I nodded my head approvingly. After the war, Frank had been put in place as the Co-Praetor alongside Reyna. He didn't get many days off, so it was nice he was here with us. "I'm doing whatever he does," Hazel stated as soon as I turned my head to her. "Great! I've got just the thing we can do today then," I exclaimed, getting off the couch and heading for the door.
"Looks like you're going to have put those plans on hold, Jackson," A voice said ominously from the shadows. The figure then walked out and revealed themselves. "Mom, what're you doing here?" Annabeth asked a bit shocked. In hindsight, I can't really blame her. It's not every day a god comes out of the shadows, much less your mother. "A council meeting has been called, and the seven are requested to join." I felt like the word 'requested' meant ordered. I looked to my friends, a taken aback. "Alright, whatever you say," Leo said carelessly, as if bring called to by the Council was no big deal. Athena asked us to get in a circle and hold hands, so we did as we were told. Athena closed her eyes and after a flashing light, we were in the throne room. "Ah, the wonderful Seven," a thundering voice rang across the room. I turned my head to the sound and found my eyes staring right at Zeus. All of us knelled before him. "Lord Zeus," we all said respectfully. "Rise." As I got off my knee, I scanned the room, making eye contact with my father in the process, though he quickly turned his head away. I thought it strange but didn't think much of it. "The reason we have called you here today is because we need you. You see, we are turning back time, all the way back to the age of Greece." Many of us gasped, why would they do that? Zeus continued on. "We have lost power over the years because the mortals do not worship us, so we have together in a joint decision to wipe their minds of everything that has happened and implant new memories. Here's where you come in. We need you, and other demigods, to be the enforcement on the Earth. You will control the mortals with your powers and force them to worship us. Accept our offer, and you'll be kings of the Earth, anything you want you can have. But turn us down, and we'll have to kill you. So, what'll it be demigods?"
I was so shocked I couldn't say anything. I couldn't believe that the Council as a whole would have the audacity to try and make the mortals slaves for power, even my own father. I knew I could never be so cruel. I took a step forward. "Gods of the Council, it saddens me that you would your greed over take your desire for the well being of humanity. I can't, and won't, become as low as you!" Zeus smile deviously, as if he was hoping I was going to say that. "Well Percy Jackson, you have sealed your fate, and the fate of your family. Suddenly, my mom, Paul, and Sophie (my mom and Pauls' kid) appeared, shackled in chains. I raced over to them. "Mom, Paul, are you alright?!" I asked frantically. "Percy, don't worry about us, do what feels right." My mom said sadly, apparently knowing what was going on. "All together, as a family, you will die," Zeus exclaimed, raising his Master Bolt, "and everyone will see the consequence of disobeying me." He shot his bolt at us, and after excruciating pain, I died.
Alright guys, that's it for the prologue. So, what'd you think? Any pairing suggestions? Any OCs for later chapters? Review them so I can check it out, because I read ALL my reviews. Thanks for reading, ThatOneRepairBoy out!
