Thanks for reading my story. In this AU, Percy is a god. The second child of Kronos, the twin of Hestia.
Here's the prologue.
It was the end of the eleven year Titanomachy. The children of Kronos and their allies have defeated the forces of their father and family. The youngest god, Zeus, was signaling to bring forth the captured Titans. The gods consisted of Hestia, Perseus, Demeter, Hera, Hades, Poseidon, and of course, Zeus.
Perseus mercilessly brought Atlas up, kicking him if he was too slow.
"Mark my words, traitor," Atlas seethed, "We will have our revenge. I swear it." Perseus was the Titan's favorite, and it had become crazy when Perseus sided with his siblings.
"Ah, but you don't swear on the River Styx, or even on Chaos," Perseus noted. "Means that you know that you have slim chances." Atlas proceeded to spit in Perseus's face. He cocked back his fist when his twin sister simply put a hand on his back.
"He isn't worth it, Percy," Hestia whispered, using his special nickname. "Let Zeus deal with him." Perseus nodded, and he let the Titan of Endurance go. Zeus looked at him, and he glared at his cousin by blood.
"You shall reside in Tartarus for the time being," he declared. Atlas's eyes widened. Tartarus was the worst of the worst. Zeus dragged Atlas to one corner in the meadows that they were in. They then continued to do this process with the rest of the Titans. Zeus motioned for the daughter of Oceanus, Amphirite. Zeus didn't hesitate.
"You are ba-" he was cut off by his older brother.
"I will vouch for her," Poseidon said seriously. Everybody looked at him in shock.
"Are you sure?" Zeus asked. Poseidon nodded. Poseidon came and moved Amphirite to the other side of the room. They then continued with the rest of the Titans, but when it came to Koios, he turned to Perseus. There was no doubt that they had a better father-son relationship better than the one that Perseus had with Kronos.
"Why, Perseus?" Koios asked. "I thought we were friends."
"You didn't do anything when Father swallowed all of my siblings," stated Perseus calmly.
Koios shook his head as he was placed in the same spots as his Titan relatives. Then, the three Hekatonkheires returned from Mount Olympus.
"My lords and ladies," Briares said, "Your thrones on Olympus have been erected."
"Ah, thank you Briares," Perseus said. "You and your brothers may rest." He turned to his siblings. "Shall we go?" He got head nods in return.
At Mount Olympus, the gods found a black hole in the middle of the throne room. But first, everybody stopped to marvel at the thrones. Even the Titans admitted that their siblings did a good job. After, Hades knelt on the ground next to the black hole.
"This hole goes straight to Tartarus," he said.
Zeus nodded, and everybpdy brought forth all the Titans, except Poseidon did not bring Amphirite. They pushed the Titans into the black hole. Zeus then turned to his siblings.
"What now?" he asked. In a flash of blinding white light, The Morai appeared.
"Greetings, Gods," Lachesis said. "We are here to tell you your domains as a god."
The Gods looked at each other and shrugged.
"Alright," Poseidon said. Zeus lined up first, with the rest of the gods in reverse birth order, but Perseus was at the back.
"Saving the best for last," he said.
The Morai nodded and walked up to Zeus.
"Zeus, you shall be the god of the sky, weather, air, lightning, kingship, honor, and justice. Due to your actions, you are the King of Olympus, and your domain is Mount Olympus." Clotho turned to the rest of the gods.
"Any objections?" she asked. Nobody answered.
"Poseidon, you shall be the god of the sea, storms, earthquakes, droughts, floods and horses. Your domain shall be the seas."
"Hades, you shall be the god and ruler of the Underworld, the dead, wealth and riches. Your domain shall be the Underworld with partial control over Tartarus. "
"Hera, you shall be the goddess of motherhood, marriage, familial love, and women."
"Demeter, you shall be the goddess of the harvest and agriculture, also the goddess and presiding over grains, the seasons,the fertility, sacred law, nourishment, bread and the earth."
"Hestia, you shall be the of the hearth, home, the right ordering of domesticity, and family."
As Perseus came forward, the Morai frowned.
"Some of you may be disturbed by his domains," Lachesis said.
"Perseus, you shall be god of space, monsters, destruction, mortality, morality, heroes and loyalty." The Gods gasped. "Your domain shall be the universe itself." The Morai vanished, and Briares and his brothers appeared.
"My Lord, your weapon," Briares said, beckoning for Perseus to come forward. Perseus was the only god to not have his own weapon. He preferred a spear, but was good with a bow and arrow, and with a sword. Briares gave him a metal bar.
Perseus frowned. "What does this do?" Briares smiled.
"Think of any weapon," he said. Perseus thought of a spear. Instantly, the bar shifted into a spear with three points instead of one.
"Eh?" Perseus said. "Is the weapon broken somehow?"
"No, my Lord," Briares said. "Every weapon you think of, it will have three extra points or blades. Think of a name for your weapon, because all of the best weapons have names."
Perseus thought for a second. "How about Calamity?" He nodded to himself. "Yes, Calamity." He thanked Briares, and turned around to see that everybody except for Poseidon, Hades and Hestia had their weapons drawn at him.
"What did I do?" Perseus asked.
"You heard the Morai," Demeter said. "You have too many negative things."
"Yes," Zeus added. "As my first decree as King of Olympus, you will have no throne!"
"Just because I have some negative domains," Perseus asked. "Did that stop me from holding Kronos in place for you to shear off Mount Othrys?" Did that stop me from defeating Koios, Krios and Atlas? Did that stop me from helping all of you?" He pointed to the lone white streak of hair he obtained by holding the sky. "During the war, Atlas held Hestia hostage. It was either I surrender, or he took away Hestia's maidenhood. I chose to hold up the sky. I didn't betray you, and I am older than everyone here who has their weapon drawn at me. If you want me to leave, then so be it! When Gaea and the Gigantes rises, and gods forbid that Father rises again, you have one less god at your side." Perseus's albino violet eyes pulsed with power, shaking Olympus.
Perseus waved his hand, and a back hole was created. He jumped in, leaving the Olympians in silence.
"What did you do, younger brother?" Hestia jumped at Zeus, and Zeus boomed, "Silence! Everybody will have a throne, so keep your emotions in check!"
And with that, the 13 Olympians were born, but without one of their most strongest siblings.
So, as you read, you found out that Perseus is the ruler of the universe, being an outcast from his family. Negative domains can change a person, so the gods had a right to be cautious, but they took it too far. It would really help if you favorite this story and add it to your Story Alert. Until next chapter.
