Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or A song of Ice and Fire. they belong to their respective authors and publishers. This is a purely fictional alternate universe based on the characters, places and lore provided by those amazing and talented authors.

A/N: This is an idea I had been toying with while I was working on Here Be Dragons. The first few chapters had been sitting in my computer as I was more focussed on the other story. Lets see how this goes.

Enjoy!

PROLOGUE

Atlantis, Obscure Location.

"Are you ready Perseus?"

"Yes, father. You can begin the ritual whenever you are ready."

"Theseus?"

"I'm ready."

"I know that I'm asking a lot from the two of you. But… you are the children I'm most proud of. Theseus; the Highking of Athens, Prince of the Pacific and Perseus; the hero of heroes, Prince of the Antarctic. You were forced into the lives of heroes because of me. I cannot forgive myself for what the two of you had to go through in life. But this is a new beginning for the two of you. I know that it is a request by the Primordials… but this will give you the ability to start again and live your lives the way you wanted."

A handsome tanned man with long hair and a neatly trimmed beard dressed in an overflowing white robe stated to the two youths lying face up in two daises. The room wasn't overtly large. But every inch of it was filled with runic symbols except for a circle where the man stood. Even the skin of the two youths weren't spared. By a single grace anybody could tell that the two of them were closely related.

One was brawny and powerfully built while the other was athletic with an average build. Both of them had piercing green eyes that denoted power. If a visitor from Olympus was to witness the two, they would have immediately identified them as the two most famous children of the Sea God. One of them had singlehandedly caused Greece to rise as a superpower when he unified the warring stated under Athens. He was also famous for slaying the Minotaur the first time when the monster was at its peak power. He killed himself after being pulled into a plot by Athena to defame him and his father.

The other had statues on Olympus for his services to the Gods. He was the defeater of titans, conquer of the giants and the slayer of countless monsters. He was also the reason the demigods were experiencing stable lives unlike in the past. His death at the hands of Loki, the Norse god was devastating for all demigods for they lost their leader and spiritual pillar. Even the gods mourned his loss… except some who were extremely pleased with it.

These two were supposed to be dead. But nobody knew of the dealings of the watery realm as Poseidon made it his duty to keep every single god that didn't belong to his court out of his matters. Thus nobody knew of the relationship Poseidon had with Erebus, the Primordial of Darkness and the first child of Lady Chaos.

This relationship was also one of the reasons Poseidon was considered overpowered even among his siblings. Everyone knew of this fact. But nobody wanted to speak of it as it would mean acknowledging their own weakness. It was also the reason why he was able to open a direct route to Tartarus to defeat Typhon during the second titanomachy.

Poseidon had begged for the life of Theseus when he ended his life in misery. Erebus brought his back to life to work was the lieutenant of his father and enforce his will in the Pacific. Later Perseus was brought back as well to be the enforcer in the Antarctic after obtaining Percy's consent. Nobody could be brought back if they didn't wish for it. Erebus had stated that Poseidon owed him a favour each time the two of his children were brought back. And it was those favours that the primordial was cashing in now.

Despite being brought back, they couldn't return to their lives as bringing back the death was a great no-no in the ancient laws. Theseus had no one to return to as his entire family was left in shambles after his downfall. He was fine with helping his father for all the help he had received in order to live that long. Though he died in his middle ages, he was considered one of the lucky ones as other heroes perished before they hit their thirties.

Percy on the other had had a loving family which was eagerly awaiting his triumphant return from Sweden. The news of his passing was delayed by his girlfriend in order to spare his mother from despair as she was pregnant with his cute little sister. So Poseidon informed them discreetly making them move to Canada so that Percy could meet them in secret away from the eyes of other gods and demigods. His girlfriend moved on as he asked her to in his final moments. So he was fine with just seeing his mother and two sisters.

"Is everything ready?" A deep voice asked as a shadow slipped into the room to stand on the platform his father stood.

"Lord Erebus," Poseidon and his two sons greeted despite the two youths being secured in place by magic.

Erebus looked at the two children he saved from the clutches of his brother Tartarus. They were among the foremost of the powerful children he had prevented from descending to Elysium. Despite what the gods believed, his brother Tartarus had complete access to the Underworld and could recruit any of these fallen heroes to do his bidding. He sent all the powerful souls away to the faded realm so that they couldn't be used as weapons again. That was of course if they didn't chose rebirth. Perseus and Theseus were the only souls he returned to the mortal realm because of his connection to Poseidon. Other souls like the original Perseus, Atlanta, Bellerophon were with his mother Chaos in the faded realm.

He was more than happy with when the two agreed upon his request. He also knew that they agreed because it would mean that they could move about freely without having to hide their identities or live in secrecy. They were astounding generals under Poseidon. They had single handedly wiped out all the troubles Poseidon was having in his domain. But the lack of an objective in life were now eating at them.

"Theseus, Perseus… thank you again for agreeing to my request. I hope the two of you success on your mission as well as your future lives. Do not forget… your lives take precedence over the matter I tasked you with. Don't try to solve it as soon as possible for I know you wouldn't be able to do so. My advice is gather your forces and build up your power before tackling it. The two of you are the best people for the job."

"Thank you Lord Erebus. We wont let you down," the brawny teenager said with a smirk while his brother nodded.

"My final advice… don't overlook anything for even tiny details would mean the loss of a battle or a war. Don't forget to live your lives so that you wont regret it in the future," Erebus said with a gentle smile.

"My boys… I cannot express how proud I am of the two of you. You are being granted a brand new beginning. Go live your lives to their fullest…"

Erebus turned to Poseidon. "Let us begin."

The two immortals chanted a spell; one in ancient greek and the other in a language that was forgotten to time. The runes started to glow as power from the two seeped into the floor and into the runic markings. The glow slowly intensified and culminated in a bright flash.

When everything returned to normal the two teenagers were missing. All that was left were tow exhausted immortals.

"Good luck… Theseus… Perseus," Poseidon muttered looking wistfully at the skies above.

"They will be fine. They are the strongest of your children, are they not? Even your heir cannot hold a candle to the two of them," Erebus said with a sigh. "I know that you must resent me for taking your children away. But I had no choice since it was an order from mother. I hope our friendship would continue for aeons to come."

"Of course, Lord Erebus. It was they who chose to accept it. It was selfish of me to keep them under me without giving them a purpose in life."

"Get some rest. You would be in a weakened state for about five years."

With that the Lord of Darkness vanished from the mystical city of Atlantis leaving a dreary Lord of the Sea behind.

"I have to appoint people to fill the void my children left," he sighed flashing away to the Throne Room to meet the rest of his family who were waiting eagerly for news. The hole the two strongest generals of Atlantis left behind would hinder their operations for years to come. He wasn't even sure whether he could fill the seats ever again. But life had to continue. The marching of time couldn't be stopped.

The story will start from the next chapter at the Tower of Joy during Robert's Rebellion. Hang around for more.
