Let me tell you a story, a story filled with betrayal, heartbreaks, sacrifices, and love. You see, it started a few months ago, when tragedy struck, loveable Blake—our main protagonist suffered a serious mental accident, resulting in trauma; doctors told the Hearthsons—Blake's mother and father, that their son would never be able to function correctly, but the Hearthsons never gave up hope, they knew that someone, somewhere, had been looking over their son; only if they knew… Our main protagonist recovered, albeit not 'fully', he assumed a new identity as, Percy Jackson, having forsaken his old identity. But what happens when his past soon creeps upon Blake/Percy, would they run? Or stand their ground.
6:30 a.m. Percy's alarm rang throughout his dorm, signaling time for school. Percy, at age 13 had been forced to join Yancy Academy, a school for 'troubled' kids, granted Percy did occasionally have his 'episodes', but in the most part, he was a normal. Grumbling, Percy crawled out from his comfortable haven—albeit a bit begrudgingly, and made his way towards the bathroom; brushing his teeth, he opened the shower faucet, allowing the cold water to drain away for the hotter, more pleasant water. With a quick rinse, Percy got changed and made his way towards the campus, where he met his friend Grover Underwood. Grover was a strange kid, not because he was a cripple, but he was half goat; on the day Percy met Grover, a voice in the back of Percy's mind informed him that Grover was not who he claimed to be. "Hey Perce, what's up?", the half goat questioned, "Grover, it's seven, I could be in my apartment with my mom, having blue pancakes.", "Huh… well are you at least ready for Mr. Brunner's test?", "You mean the one over Greek myths? …Yeah…", the two were too engaged in the conversation that neither of them noticed a teacher, hidden in the shadows glaring at them both.
4:15 p.m. Yancy Academy had been officially closed for summer vacation; Percy was in his dorm, packing his belongings—feeling very anxious about seeing his mother again. It's been a year since he last seen his mother, he was however not pleased to meet the drunken bastard: Gabe Ugliano. The bastard has been a little bitch to Percy since he was a young child, sometimes beating Percy to near death, but every time, Percy would somehow managed to recover hours after the beating. Putting aside the thought, Percy made his way towards the bus station, only to be greeted by Grover. "Hey Perce, do you mind if I stay over at your place for a few days?", "Depends, if Gabe doesn't act like a little bitch, then sure, but no promises.", Grover couldn't help but laugh at Percy's comment; as the busses started to file out, Grover tried to start another conversation, but Percy was too transfixed on the passing cars in the other lanes.
It didn't take long for things to go wrong; the bus seemed to stutter, unusual sounds radiated from the engine, this forced the bus driver to pull onto the side of the road; not wanting to stay on the overheated bus, the pair followed the other passengers out. Once out of the bus, Percy noticed a fruit stand, ran by three old women. He noticed that these weren't regular mortal, the three women seemed to radiated power, they were almost ethereal like beings.
Making his way towards the three old women, he noticed that the three seemed to be knitting a sock; almost as if in a trance, one unrivalled the wool, slowly extending the string onto the middle woman, the middle one measured the length of the yarn, finishing her measurements, the third woman came behind the second, and snipped the yarn, the yarn itself seemed to have an ethereal glow before dimming. When all was said, and done, the three looked up, and gave Percy the cruelest smile that can only be seen in nightmares, barring their fangs out at him, they cackled. "Ah, it seems like the intruder wants to know who we are." The one on the furthest left cackled delightfully, "Why are you here, Hearthson? Shouldn't you be with your mommy and daddy? They're missing their son right now.", the middle one taunted, "What are you going at, you old hags? How do you know my birth-name?", "Ah, seems like the little imbecile, is dying to know who we are; should we tell him, sister?", The third one asked, directing her question towards the other two sisters. "You see Hearthson, when you experienced that traumatic event, a few years back, you gained incredible powers; one of which allowed you to transcend your world, into ours," gestured the first one, "and it seems like you kept your old abilities, along with your new ones.", "I don't understand, what is this world, but more importantly, how do you know my name?" a now confused Percy asked, "Seems like his brain isn't capable of drawing conclusions; must we explain everything?" The third one sneered, "We are formally known as the Moirai, but you know us as 'Fates', you see young Perseus, that traumatic event that occurred, many years ago, left a permanent scar, not one that is visible to the naked eye, but one that damaged your psyche. Because of this, you gained the many, many abilities, and one of them seems to be transcending both the metaphysical, and physical world." The middle one explained, "Wait, what does all of that mean? I understand the traumatic experience, and me transcending into this plane of existence, in which gods exist, but the metaphysical plane?", "Heh, this is where things get complicated; you see, the metaphysical plane consists of, 'good', and 'evil', with you being able to transcend that plane, simply means you can transcend through 'good', and 'evil', you can manipulate a person's moral compass through sheer will, you're also able to manipulate their thoughts, and action; maybe even manipulating death itself; secondly, we are the Fates, I am Lachesis, my sisters, Clotho, and Atropos, accompany me through the creation of life."
By this time, Grover finally noticed that his 'best-friend', Percy was missing, and that the bus had been fixed, "It seems like you're about to miss your bus if you don't leave now." Clotho informed, "Wait, before I leave, could you please tell me how to access the 'mental-manipulation' abilities?", "Fine; however, on one condition, you'll serve under us, as our champion." "Deal!" Percy immediately agreed to the offer; Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos extended their arms, creating a globe of pure energy that radiated brightly, like the sun, in one swift motion, the ball was hurled toward Percy, striking him in the chest; there was a rush, then everything subsided.
Clutching his head in agony, thoughts flashed through his mind, but when everything died down, Percy noticed that he had knowledge of his 'heritage', he knew how to do incredible things ranging from mind manipulation, to overcoming death, he was effectively immortal. "Thank you, I really—", before Percy could fully thanked the three Fates, Grover's voice ringing out, "I guess that's my cue to leave." With that, Percy made his way towards the bus, but something made him wonder, why couldn't Grover see him? He was only thirty meters away… shrugging, he met with his friend, and the two boarded the shuttle once more, making their way towards East 104th, and 1st.
5:30 p.m. An hour passed since the event with the Moirai, and within that hour, Percy sorted through all of the information granted to him by the Fates, and holy crap was there a lot of information; the ability to manipulate a person was fairly simple, he found that if he forced his willpower onto another', he could theoretically manipulate the victim into doing anything he wish. The second ability that was also straightforward, an ability to enslave anyone, and anything. Scouring his mind, he discovered a third ability, the ability to not give a flying fuck—Grover, was pestering Percy, asking Percy where he was, and what happened, but Percy simply ignored the half-goat. Again, scouring through his mind, Percy discovered the third ability from his past, the ability to manipulate matter, omnikinesis. Before he could learn of his 'heritage' in this plane, but he was jolted out of his thoughts when the bus came to a stop.
"Finally, hey Percy, can you wait a bit? I gotta run to the restroom.", "Yeah I'll wait for you, Grover.", Percy lied. Waiting for the hybrid to stagger into the restroom, Percy grabbed his luggage and called a cab. Giving instructions to the cabbie, Percy was making his way towards his mom's apartment, but noticing the meter's price increasing, Percy wanted to test his newfound powers; concentrating, on the matter around him, Percy slowly forced the atoms from the air to merge with one another, slowly a hundred-dollar bill came into existence. Once arriving at the apartment, Percy gave the cabbie the bill, grabbed his luggage, and made his in.
Making his way towards the front door, Percy knocked a few times, "Mom? It's me, Percy; I'm back from Yancy.", hearing shuffling behind the door, Percy readied himself to meet his 'mom.'—Percy knew that Sally Jackson was not his mother, Percy knew that his true name was, Blake Hearthson; when Percy was met with a tragic event in his past, he gained extraordinary powers, powers that the Fates helped him fully unlocked, but one of the powers he gained, and used was the power to transcend through planes of existence, when he arrived in this plane of existence, he was already five, and had taken on the identity of Percy Jackson.
Steeling his nerves as the doors opened, Percy was met with Gabe Ugliano, Percy's stepfather, "Gabe.", Percy acknowledged "What are you doing here brat? Aren't you supposed to at Yancy?" Gabe responded, "It's summer vacation, that's why I'm here, now are you going to move that fat-ass of yours, or am I going to have to force you to?", "Why you, you son of a bitch, I ought 'to teach you a lesson,", but before Gabe could do anything, Percy decided to test his abilities again, putting as much power into his voice as he could, "Get out of my way, Gabe, or else." Gabe wanted to respond, oh how he wanted to, but something in the back of his mind told him not to, but he moved aside for his step-son.
Percy made his way towards his room, not before noticing Gabe's 'friends', when Percy did get to his room, he locked the door before plopping onto the bed, before dozing off.
8:00 p.m. Sally Jackson drove as fast as she could, through the heavy rain, and constant lightning flashes, trying ever so desperately to save her son; she was prepared to consult him about the gods, and how he was half god, but that came crashing down on her. Now all she worried about was getting her son to the safe-haven, known as Camp half-blood. But again, the plan came to a crushing halt when a rouge lightning bolt shot exploded on-top of the car. The three felt weightless, floating through the air, then, everything came crashing down, then there was only darkness.
Sometime after the car accident When Sally Jackson awoke, she noticed that she was in a palace, a gothic palace; she saw her son, Percy looming over a kneeling figure, said figure was bleeding profusely, with gashes covering their entire body, "So lord Hades, seems like you've lost." Percy taunted, "You serve me now, Hades, you are no longer the ruler of this kingdom.", "How dare you, Jackson! You waltz into my kingdom, and declared yourself ruler! I'll send you to Tartarus!" Hades boomed, "Ah, seems like we still have a bit a defiance, let's take care of that, shall we.", Percy's eyes started to glow brightly, of gold, silver, and blue, interlaced with one another, and for that moment, Sally Jackson passed out again.
…So, this is where I put the author's note…? … Okay
I hope you enjoyed this 'chapter', I'll love some feedback from y'all, and chapter 2 should be coming out sometime around Valentine week. Quickly addressing a few things; Percy is not omnipotent, no Chaos… although I may incorporate the idea, Chaos will not have a character arc, and yes, Percy is 'evil'.
Thank you again for putting up with my reading, and y'all enjoy your day… err… night… whenever you read this… ^^
I also had no clue I had this username as well... It's around four years old... Anyways, I may move the story over to this account.
