Reading the Mysteries of Greek Mythology

This is an original story I had in my mind but I actually got the ideas from reading the stories of oneshotmasta and the fathers love by kyoku suigetsu tetsu so I give credit where credit is due. Their stories gave me inspiration to write this as such I am not adopting their stories more or less completing them.

Similarly as this is my very first story I will adopt the "reading" ideas by the one and only Engineer4ever who I am a very big fan of and I hope that he reads my stories. You hear me Engineer I am talking to you.

Disclaimer: Unfortunately I don't own Percy Jackson or Naruto or there would be Major Percy bashing

Chapter 1

Percy and Annabeth were finally reunited in Camp Jupiter and the Seven Heroes were all aboard the Argo II, ready to set sail for their dangerous quest to the Doors of Death. Before they could, they had all vanished in a flash of light.

Thalia Grace, the Lieutenant of Artemis' Hunters, was setting up camp along with the rest of her 'sisters'. She had spiky black hair and dazzling electric blue eyes. She wore a silver circlet like a princess' tiara, which didn't match her skull earrings, and was wearing a silvery parka as well as some camouflage pants. Just as she was going to call Phoebe for help with one of the tents, she disappeared in a flash of light.

Nico di Angelo was preparing for his venture into Tartarus, but disappeared in a flash of light.

~Just minutes before the teleportation of the Heroes and Hunter

All the Greek gods were lounging on their thrones and doing what they do best, yes you know it they were bickering. Most of the Gods were complaining to Zeus as he forbidden them from leaving Olympus and contacting the here I quote "lowly mortals and demigods."

Apollo sat on his throne, bored out of his damn mind. His posture was sprawled and lazy, his check resting on his left fist while one leg hung over the other arm rest. What in the name of Tartarus is his father thinking? Seriously, closing the doors of Olympus and making no contact with the mortal world was ridiculous, has he finally gone insane?

These thoughts were going through most of the Gods heads while the elder gods, and Ares and Artemis were complaining to Zeus as she was forbidden to hunt and was fed up doing nothing whereas Ares was just acting like...…..Ares

The younger Gods while unhappy with the decision did not wish for Zeus to direct his anger at them and punish them.

Athena, like her siblings was bored to death (that's saying something)…..I mean there is a limit to how many times one can go and finish their library and certain…..collections especially when you already know most…..okay all of the stuff.

She is a curious being after all, I mean why else would someone just learn about everything or maybe she just doesn't like being "shocked". Nah that can't be it there is no way someone would go through all that trouble for a measly reason like that, right…right. It must be her form of coping with the monotony of immortality, it can be the only reason. (It's better for your sanity if you just accept it, the gods have done so….I think?)

The demigods have transported to Olympus

"What are you all doing here" demands Zeus in a furious tone. Percy hesitantly tries to reply "Umm well we…" but is unable to finish after seeing the famous Athena glare directed towards him while she is simultaneously ignoring her daughter. His (un) saving grace came in a flash of bright light in the form of the fates. Everyone's attention shifts towards them.

The demigods are cautious and silent as they don't wish to earn their ire. Whereas Zeus is:

"What is the meaning of this insult"; he demands from the Fates like a spoiled child. The fates giggle (Yes you heard me correctly giggle). This sends warning bells to everyone present who can't help but feel perturbed. The giggle turns to guffaws which eventually becomes full blown laughter.

This was most surprising to the gods who have rarely if ever seen the fates smile much less laugh thus they feel uneasy in their presence.

"Do you have any idea how dull it is to know everything that has or will happen in the future and see you all go about your miserable lives? Sure it is entertaining to mess with the lives of mortals and demigods…" says the fate before they are rudely interrupted by Percy who is shivering uncontrollably "All….All that bullshit I went through and am going through….It is your fault…. You….you cruel monsters…. Do you take some sick pleasure in torturing me… let me at um, let me at um, I will make them regret the day they messed with Percy Jackson (sound familiar).

Atropos responds by taking out a thread and a scissor and says threateningly "You were saying Jackson…And for the record messing with your life is more of a hobby", Then she innocently responds "It's not like I go out of my way to make you miserable" Before Percy can respond, Annabeth shoves her elbow up his solar plexus and gives him the glare which successfully subdues him.

This quells the tense atmosphere as roars of laughter erupt from the demigods and Apollo and Hermes who start making whipping noises and all Percy can do is glare at them but the effect is ruined by the blush on his cheeks.

The Fates continue as if they were not just rudely ignored "So to entertain ourselves we will have you read this….innocent looking book which will answer some questions to "sate" your curiosity" .The fates giggle at the word innocent as they fail to keep their stoic face up.

Annabeth the ever curious one immediately asked "What is the book about?"

The Fates simply replied "It's about Greek …mythology."

Athena the no-nonsense type immediately replied "We know everything about it….in case you're forgetting, we lived it…"

They ignore her and say "Guests of Olympus," The Fates begin, "What you are about to discover is a great story that shows the truth of the events of Greek mythology. We're sure that you are dying to know it….. he he he…..", then they continue in a serious manner "You don't have a choice, this book must be read for our entert…..I mean for your knowledge to grow so that you learn important facts that will help shape your life." The fates finish in a wise and sagely manner.

The demigods don't know whether to be impressed by the speech or to go finish their quest as they are unsure which will put their life in more jeopardy…..Nico is even considering that the odds that he might live through Tartarus are much better than getting out of Olympus sane and alive because of the manner the speech was given in.

The reactions of Percy and Annabeth were the most humorous; where ones face was pale because of seeing the size of the book; the other was excited to know the true history that shaped Olympus.

Leo took a bag of popcorn and started thinking about the great adventures they would be reading about hoping beyond hope that they are action packed head along with his fellow demigods.

"Man, that's some serious stuff," the son of Hephaestus said, while munching on his popcorn getting the other heroes to agree with him.

"Well can you please continue," said Zeus letting the young heroes think. Zeus thought that he knew about everything that has occurred as it was his era so it will mostly be a waste of time. Oh well at least it keeps the other gods off my back for a while, was his last thought.

"So what's the title?" Apollo asked curiously.

"Hmm, The Mysteries of Greek Mythology," Hermes answered, making Apollo and Hermes frown while Athena has a glint in her eyes

"It's also a graphic novel." Hermes added

"That's cool. Eisner started that you know, good guy he was." Apollo stated, as being the god of the arts, he would know about such things.

"Well, since it is a 'Novel', who will read?" Athena asked, somewhat interested in this story as it may have facts which she is unaware of but she can't stop the feeling of dread that something will go wrong. Oh well what's the worst the worst that could happen (if only she knew), it's not like her dirtiest secrets are going to be revealed…what are the odds that the fates are going to screw with her

"The son of Poseidon will." Zeus announced in a boom.

Percy groaned as his girlfriend gave him a rub on the shoulder, "Come on Percy, you'll do fine." She said with a small smile.

Percy looked at her and returned it with one of his own, "Okay." He said as he sat a bit more forward and the pictures started to appear.

Leo, who was drinking a smoothie shushed and pointed at the, "It's starting."
