Midnight September the 24th 1996

The Jackson House hold, Upper East Side New York

Poseidon stared down at the boy in the crib. He was such a small child, wrapped in his blue blanket. Sea green eyes, so much lie his own, stared curiously back at him. A bald round head that would soon grow with black hair like most of his children had. The babe was small, too small for its age, for smaller than healthy.
As he watched his child, a tear traced down his cheek, what has he done? He could not imagine the fate he had just placed upon his child shoulders.
Slowly, he bent down and scooped the child into his arms, shushing him quietly. Sally would never forgive him for this. He concentrated and Poseidon and his child disappeared in a flash of blue light.
He appeared at the top of an empty hill, looking down upon a valley with strawberry fields. If only the mortals knew what was hiding from them in plain sight. He stepped over the boundary line, rocking his baby gently in his arms. He approached a big house with a large porch and slowly pushed open the door. He was greeted with the sight of two men playing a card game, at least what appeared to be two men.
The first, a slightly chubby, red nose man with curly black hair and purple bloodshot eyes. Wearing a leopard print running suit and sipping a can of diet coke. The second, a middle aged man in a wheel chair with brown hair, brown kind eyes and a scruffy beard.
"Well, well what do we have here?" asked the first man with a smug grin.
"Always a pleasure," Poseidon replied back sarcastically, "I came with a favour to ask."
"What can we do for you, my Lord," asked the second man, his lips pressed in a thin line, this would not end well for him.
"I seek shelter for my boy," Poseidon said softly, eyes gazing down to his child in his arms.
"And how do you expect us to keep him hidden from those who lived for his death?" Snorted back the first man, his arms crossed tightly across his chest.
"If they do not know he is mine then they will have no reason to harm him," Poseidon said sternly," Dionysus, Chiron. I can ask this of no one else but the two of you. Zeus will not expect me to hide a child here right under his nose. I will provide you with all you need. All I ask is an oath to keep him safe, I will do the rest."
"You ask much of us, Lord Poseidon" Chiron replied softly, "How do you suppose I look after a small child and a whole camp of training heroes."
"Please," Poseidon begged, "I don't know who else to turn to."
The three men sat in silence for a moment; the only sound to be heard was the soft snores of the little child in Poseidon arms. Dionysus was the first to react, plucking the child out of Poseidon's arms and into his. Dionysus gazed down at the babe and a small smile appeared on his lips.
"I will do as you ask," Dionysus began, "but in return, I ask that all my children be safe from you wrath. That they never have to fear the power of the sea."
"I swear to you Dionysus." Poseidon said, stepping up beside him and taking his child back from him.
"But what of the prophecy, Lord Poseidon." Asked Chiron worriedly.
"Do not worry old friend, there is already another ready to take his place." Stated Poseidon.
Questioning looks appeared on both Chiron and Dionysus faces as the pondered this. Another child of the big three?
"What is his name?" asked Chiron.
"His name is Percy...Percy Jackson."

Roughly 7 years later, Camp Half-blood hill.
.
"Hurry up, Thalia," panted little Annabeth Chase, her legs pounding on the grass as she ran up the steep hill, "We can't let the monsters catch us."
Thalia only huffed in reply, to busy trying to drag a nearly unconscious Grover up the hill. Luke had gone ahead scooting out for this so called 'Camp'. They had travelled all the way across country, getting attacked by every kind of monster you could think of in the hopes to reach a camp where they would supposedly learn how to defend themselves from monsters, oh the irony.
Up ahead, Thalia saw Annabeth stumble giving her a moment to catch up with her again. Thalia quickly wrapped her arm around Annabeth, supporting both her and Grover in their final treks up the hill, at the top she saw Luke's blonde hair shining in the moonlight as he waved at her to hurry up.
All was looking up until she felt a sharp pain on the back of her leg, causing all three of them to fall forward. Slowly rolling over onto her back, Thalia raised her leg to pull the dagger out from behind her shin and then tossing it to the side. She stood on shaking legs and for the first time noticing the army of monsters forming at the base of the hill.
She yelled back at Luke, "Get Grover and Annabeth into camp! I'll take care of these"
Luke screamed back "But Thalia, what about you..-" "GO!" Thalia screamed back.
Thalia raised her hands to the sky, calling the most powerful storm she could manage as the monsters started closing. Thunder rolled and Lightning flashed as a young Thalia fought monster and monster but it was no use. There was no hope anymore.
With a final, painstaking scream did Thalia fall and her last lightning strike illuminating the sky.
.
.
Poseidon watched from Olympus above, panic crawling through his veins. If Thalia was gone, that would mean the prophecy...- No. Poseidon disappeared in a flash a blue lightning traveling done below to the realm of dead. His last hope lied with his older brother.
Oh, Please let the fates be on my side...
