The True Confessions of Percy Jackson

by Alyyang123

Seven are chosen by the three Royal Ambassadors to become the next Council, a preeminent assembly with more superiority than the High King. But with power comes a price: others in Olympia are envious of their position, and are willing to do anything- including kill- to obtain such authority. Do the Septem have what it takes to survive?

1. the road not taken

OCTOBER 21, XX95- The day Ilios fell by the hands of the Hellenes.
NOVEMBER 14, XX96- The day the storms swept away Castra Jupiter.
JULY 17, XX99- The day the Kemites overthrew the Ptolemaic pharaohs.

MAY 2, XX01- The day when seven destined children changed the world.

A maid. A thief. An archduchess. A fisherman. A soldier. A witch. A crown prince. All are chosen by the three Royal Ambassadors to become the next Council, a preeminent assembly with more superiority than the High King.

But with power comes a price: others in Olympia are envious of their position, and are willing to do anything- including kill- to obtain such authority.

Do the Septem have what it takes to survive? Or will they fall from the sky with melted wings of wax, as their predecessors did?

THE FOLLOWING TEXT ON THIS MANUSCRIPT WAS FIRST DECODED BY GRECIAN-AMERICAN ARCHAEOLOGISTS MR. PERCY 'PERSEUS' JACKSON AND MS. ANNABETH CHASE IN THE UNEXPLORED WOODLANDS OF GREECE, DECEMBER 2009. SOME HISTORIANS BELIEVE THIS STORY IS ONE OF THE EARLIER DESCRIPTIONS OF GODS IN ANCIENT GREECE, AS THE NAMES OF MANY NOBLES CAN BE ROUGHLY TRANSLATED TO DEITIES IN THE GRECIAN PANTHEON. OTHERS ARGUE THAT THE 'LOST' CITY OF OLYMPIA PROBABLY ACTUALLY EXISTED, AND WAS BURIED BY A SET OF VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS DURING THE ARCHAIC PERIOD. HOWEVER, MOST ASSUME THAT THIS DOCUMENT WAS A DRAMA BY THE FAMOUS PLAYWRIGHT RICHARD RIORDAN, AS MANY EVENTS ARE INACCURATE AND OUT OF CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER.

If you are reading this manuscript right now, it means that Olympia has fallen and my body is most likely rotting in a corner of the palace along with the corpses of my friends.

Well, that's a pessimistic thought, isn't it?

If Annampeth was here with me right now, she would most definitely smack me in the face and tell me to get a hold of myself before she struck me with a iron pipe (to my family jewels. Ouch).

But enough of this unimportant topic. The real reason I bothered to write this was because I feared Lukas Kastellanou to be a traitor, the very person who was feeding Lord Cronus vital information about our kingdom and also the man who stole my uncle's most powerful weapon, nearly killed my cousin [Princess] Thalia, and kidnapped Artemis of the Eternal Maidens and Annampeth for the sake of freeing Atlas...

The list could go on forever. Literally. But this hopefully is enough to convince you to take action, because there isn't enough time before they set their eyes on other empires.

Listen. These texts are a series of witness accounts of me and my buddies before and after we were Chosen. I need you to read this once, store it in your head real good, and then journey southbound to visit Lord Hades in the Land of the Underworld and pass it on.

The end of the world is coming. The only person who can save it is you, because clearly my crew and I are no longer alive to help you guide your way.

AGE 17
COMMANDER OF OLYMPIA

P.S. Good luck, kid. Don't die.
