Well im really not too sure about this as ive taken a break from writing like this for a while now because in all honesty I kinda suck but I really wanted to give a percy jackson a try because in the last few months I've been really interested in the series watching all the movies reading all the books and even reading well over one hundred fanfictions on here in the least 6 months or so so I thought id make my own AU percy jackson story although it won't be original too much because a lot of this basis is done already but enough of my rambling onto the story I can't wait to see your feedback.
-The start-
It was a cold winters afternoon in the glorious city of sparta,rain poured down onto the gravel roads, and all was at peace apart from one tavern in the middle of sparta where a soldier was mourning the loss of his comrades. The man in question had thought for hundreds of years for the spartans in all the important conflicts from the Macedonian conquests to the persian war and now he is fighting in the war against Athens and he is relaxing in sparta before he marches for athens to finally end this war.
You may be wondering how this man is alive after all those years but that can be explained in one sentence, How do you die when death has already claimed you. No he is not a zombie or anything of the sort he is but a ghost history calls upon in its most important conflicts however that is not too say he is stronger than a normal mortal no he is still just a man.
The mans name is Perseus Jackson or as the members of the spartan aryms call him "The shade."
It has been said that no man nor woman has ever seen his face but those who have are no longer in the land of the living yet still Perseus has managed to make friends throughout the years and lost many he has held dear to himslef.
-Line Break-
The next morning started rough for Perseus as he awoke with a hangover that would kill a god after the extensive drinking of his sorrows the previous nights.
"Oh my Hades what time of day is it." Yawned Perseus as he stood only to shake his head before procceding to the door of the tavern that he had aparently slept on the floor of.
"Erm excuse me sir you dropped this whilst sleeping." shouted a timid woman from behind as she held up a Obsidian black pen with three buttons on it.
"Oh yeah thanks I wouldn't have wanted to lose this or I'd be in deep shit for the next battle," sighed Perseus as he grabbed the pen from the womans hand before procceding to walk out into Sparta and heading towards where his new troops should be for the coming assult on Athens.
As he approached six hooded men standing next to seven horses he examined them top to bottom noticing they all had swords strapped to there wastes and a spartan shield on there back.
"Alright men we are going to be the Infiltration force,First in to battle and probably first to get to glory." shouted perseus as he got a nod of acgnoligment from his troops.
"Then we set off now and we don't stop till nightfall if we have the gods on our side we should arrive just outside of the Athenien borders by then so saddle up and keep up." Perseus commanded as he jumped onto his horse and road off not even bothering to check his men knowing these where some of the best worries of sparta.
-Line Break-
It was nightfall and just like Perseus had predicted they where directly five miles away from Athens they had made some amazing time with the shortcut they decided to take. Perseus turned to see all of his men unsaddle without even making a noise and leash there horses up to a near by tree.
"Alright men I need one man to keep watch with me as this is where we will rest." said Perseus as he waited for a volunteer until the biggest of the group standing about 6'5 volunteered himself.
As the other spartans drifted off into sleep Perseus sat next to the tall man probably half a foot taller than him and pulled out a small dagger from the side of his Cloak and started examining it.
"You got a family back in sparta." questioned Perseus as he continued to play with the knife in his hands that he always carried with him.
"Yeah I do Sir I have a wife and a daughter who are both proud of me for my job inside the strongest army in Greece." the man said faking pride to seem strong to his superior.
"Well I don't have a family which just makes this job so much easier you know no one to mourn for me if I die and I don't have to have the sentemant of family when kiling fathers and sons on the batllefield." sighed Perseus as he span his knige on one finger.
"Sir if you don't mind me asking why do you have a black steel hunting knife." questioned the spartan soldier as he watched as the knife seemed to reflect the stars as it spun.
"Well soldier this is the closest thing I have to a free life it reminds me of the sweet release of death you get after having a sword or dagger penetrate your flesh." smiled Perseus as he showed just the bottom half of his face to his soldier to show his geniun smile.
"You know Sir you should really take a break from fighting every now and then because I can tell you have no friends." the spartan laugh as Perceus just nudged the soldier before giving him a heartwarming laugh.
"What is your name soldier I think I might come to like you." laughed Perseus as he looked over at the man who leaned up against a tree.
"My name is Matthew Sir." said the man as he pulled his shield off his back to get more comfterable.
"Well then Matthew I hope I can get you back to your family." sighed Perseus as he looked up at the stars admiring them and slowly humming a tune as him and matthew sat in silence listening to the silence.
-line break-
Morning came around too quickly for Perseus as he always loved the stars so he wasn't in the most pleasant of moods.
"Alright soldiers we go on foot from here make sure to stay low and for gods sake if you get hit by anything do not scream." shouted Perseus as they walked off into the forests that outlined Athens.
As the troop marched they could have sworn they where being watched but they all shrugged it off as just a bad feeling well that was all of them but Perseus who was being very precatious not knowing what exactly was out here.
"hey sir we should be coming to the edge of the forest and we will be in range of Athens to see it." whispered Matthew as he stalked behind Perseus until they heard a twig snap for them both to turn around to only see 3 other men behind them.
"Battle positions we are under attack." shouted Persues as the all pulled the sheilds off there back and stood back to back before seeing a group of ten men round from the forest all screaming however before they could even land a hit Perseus had sliced all of them down in one second flat.
"Oh my Ares sir that was impressive." applauded matthew before he started clapping.
"Well thank you kind sir I do try my best to impress but we should get going." Perseus mock bowed before heading off with the remaning three men.
As the end of the forest came into sight so did one other thing or should he say twenty other things all being…Girls?
"Erm Matthew I am seeing twenty girls with silver attire and bows pointed at us correct?" questioned Perseus as he looked at Matthew only to get a small nod as he and matthew readied there shields only to get an aroow volley sent at them with atleast sixty arrows landing near them and five imbedded into his shield and three in his leg but that was far worse then what matthew got as Matthew stood there with no scrapes or arrows impaled in him.
"CHARGE" screamed Perseus as he and Matthew charged the girls noticing that two of his comrades were not as fortunate and had been killed and the n much to his disfortune another volley was sent there way.
"Shit matthew can you see any positive outcomes of this encounter?" questioned Perseus as arrows after aroows embedded themselves into his shield.
"No sir but we have no other choice but too charge." screamed Matthew as him and Perseus charged the girls with shields first impaling one girl each as soon as they arrived at them before both swinging down onto one knee in complete syncarnisation before cutting off the legs of two other girls before going back to back and circling round.
"Sir it was an honour fighting side by side with you." exclaimed Matthew as both him and Perseus charged the extremely skilled girls taking out a good amount of them before they had about three left and only 2 major injuries each.
"Well im surprised you have survived this Matthew but we are not out the clear yet can you still fight?" questioned Perseus as Matthew just gave a slight grunt before they charged the last two but before they could reach them an arrow imbeded itself into matthews skull and Perseus's Left knee.
"Well Fuck." Persues sighed as he looked up to see a new silver haired girl apear from behind him with what was his other ally in tow.
"YOU FUCKING TRAITOR HOW DARE YOU CALL YOURSELF A SPARTAN." screamed Perseus as his previous allied spartna took off his hood to reveal a girl?
"Well I guess this is my end huh well it was fun whilst it lasted." sighed Perseus before pulling the arrow out of his knee and pulling out his pen before pressing the top button creating a mist of hot water vapour.
-time skip 1 month-
"Well then looks like I have faked my death well enough I will just live my life like a normal person until the world calls upon me again," sigh Perseus as he pulled down his Hood to reveal a head of obsidian black hair with tanned skin and eyes of two different colours one sea green and one red like blood was constantly flowing through it.
As Perseues trudged through the marshy terrain he had found himself in he headed to his favourite place in the whole of greece and that was the hill he was found apon like a gift from the gods by the raging seas.
-Time skip to 2012-
Perseus or as he liked to refer to himself as Percy as it was so much shorter was sitting inside a cozy cabin in the middle of the woods humming his favourite tune which was a old spartan tune and playing on this thing called an xbox and by god it was interesting however he wouldn't be able to live like this for much longer he was still being hunted and that just wasn't pleasant. However Percy learned one or two things from playing this new thing called an xbox and that was a few items he could create such as a ring that turned him into a werewolf or a hammer that sent huge amounts of force making its own gravitational field and sending people flying which if he has to say is a very good way of escaping.
However over the years percy had become really fond of music and one of his favourite bads where nickleback and just like he was now whenever he was alone he would blast there music out of his speakers.
"I'm through with standin' in lines to clubs I'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the ninth and I'm never gonna win
This life hasn't turned out
Quite the way I want it to be
(Tell me what you want)
I want a brand new house on an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub
Big enough for ten plus me
(Yeah, so what you need?)
I need a a credit card that's got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club
At thirty-seven thousand feet
(Been there, done that)
I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher
And James Dean is fine for me
(So how you gonna do it?)
I'm gonna trade this life
For fortune and fame" sang percy as he heard footsteps start to surround the cabin he was in.
"I'd even cut my hair and change my name." sung percy as he slipped the ring out of his pocket then slipt it onto his finger before turning into a hellhound and shadow traveling a 100meters away and breaking off into a sprint after hearing a scream and a loud expolsion.
"Rest in peace my xbox and probably the girl I just blew up." he laughed with a sadistic grin before reaching new york and morphing himself back into a human but hes much prefered form of his old 15 year old body because it was the easiest to maintain and stumbled around the city aimlessly knowing he lost his chasers and arriving at an apartment building.
"HEY DON'T YOU DARE TRY AND RUN FROM ME GIVE ME THAT MONEY YOU BITCH" percy heard from inside the building as he decided to put on his hoodie and enter the buillding following his hellhound hearing that was slowly wearing off.
"NO I REFUSE TO GIVE YOU THIS MONEY YOU WILL JUST SPEND IT ON ALCOHOL." screamed what seemed to be a females voice and just before he could hear anymore he arrived at the door of the apartment and knocked hard.
"Room service anyone home." shouted percy from behind the door only to get a smelly man to open it up and give him a menacing glare.
"What do you mean room service we don't have that." said the man getting into percy's personal space.
"Well you do now I need to quickly check on something in this house that smells and clean it out so if you don't mind I will procced into your place of residence." sighed percy as he pushed past the man and entered a house that smelt like alcohol and piss to see what could only be described as a pig sty.
"God your home is a rekt and why the hell does it smell of piss?" questioned Percy as he turned to see the fat smelly man who stood around six feet approach him again.
"Well if you really need to know its because of the bitch in the other room who doesn't know how to take care of a stupid dog." the man said before pointing at a door and percy procced to enter the room which was a girls bedroom to see a girl with blonde hair and lightning blue eyes sitting on a bed sulking with a black and red hellhound next to her.
"Cool dog where did you get it?" questioned percy as he looked at the sulking girl who looked no older than 13.
"What does it matter to you your just one of my fat step fathers friends." screamed the girl as she pulled the dog closer to herself.
"Well then suit yourself I was going to help you but now I feel like I just need to burn this place down or something like that." said Percy with a questioning look of what to do.
"Did you just say help?" questioned the girl as she had hope in her eyes.
"Yeah now don't get too happy about it pack up your shit and get ready to leave I want to strike a deal with this fat man." sighed Percy as he left the room to approach the fat man and grabbing a spoon before shoving it inside his eye and scooping it out with a laugh before feeding him it screaming
"Open up for the chu chu train."
-line break-
"Oh god I got some liver on me thats disgusting." sighed percy before quickly taking off his hody to wash it.
"I'm ready when you're." said the girl reentering the room before vomiting at the sight of blood all over the walls and a tounge on a plate.
"What you don't like the decoration, I thought I'd repaint." chuckled percy before putting his hoodie back on but leaving the hood down so he could turn around and look at the girl but what she saw shocked her.
