Chapter 1: When Percy Dies
When a great hero like Percy Jackson dies, you think he would go down valiantly, like fighting a primordial, or best case scenario; old age. What Percy never suspected was to lose his life to his demigod half-brother. It looks like dad didn't find mom that queenly, considering he was fifteen, a mere two years after Percy.
Ok well technically it was the fifty or so laestrygonian giants that wanted to eat him because they believed that they would absorb his powers but, he was in this position because of him.
Flashback
It all started when my fifteen year old brother appeared before camp while I was away completing some trials for Athena to gain Annabeth's hand in marriage. Some of the challenges were better left unsaid as she really tested his 'faithfulness'. Just thinking about some of the things he had to do made a shiver run down his spine. But that was in the past now because Percy had a beautifully carved ring sitting in his jacket pocket and he was ready to propose.
Teleported to the top of Half-blood hill courtesy of the wisdom goddess herself he petted Peleus the dragon as he was coiled around Thalia's pine tree. Enjoying the affection Peleus released a puff of smoke in bliss. Continuing his path to the Athena cabin he knocked on the door. Percy had to wait a few seconds before Malcolm answered the door.
"Oh hey Perce." Malcolm began "Where have you been the past couple of weeks, Annabeth has been worried sick about you."
Percy sheepishly rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah about that, I had to do a couple of quests for your mom if I wanted to marry your sister."
Malcolm's face lit up as he breathed a mock sigh of relief. "Thank the gods, I thought there might have been another war or something." He joked "Hey can I see the ring?"
"Of course." Percy replied digging into my pocket. He fished out the small velvet box and opened it up. Inside was a ring crafted by Hephaestus himself. A bronze band, with a sparkling diamond flanked by two sea green emeralds that seemed to match his eyes.
"It is beautiful." Malcolm breathed.
"Yeah." Percy mumbled putting the box back in his pocket. "Do you know where I can find her?" He asked.
Malcolm seemed to be thinking for a second "Oh yeah, I think I saw her go down by the beach. By the way, did you know you have a new half-brother?"
"Really?" Percy asked, excited "What is he like?"
Malcolm's face darkened considerably "He's fifteen or so and he's a real douche. Claims he's a hero and the best swordsmen ever. Somehow he has all the new campers in his pocket, except the Athena ones of course. We taught them who the real hero around here is."
Percy was slightly disappointed in the description of his half-brother, but he was more upset about the fact that his dad had had another child two years after he was born. They were going to have to have a long talk after this. Ignoring the unsavory thoughts that plagued his mind he forced a smile to his face and clapped Malcolm on the shoulder. "Thanks bro, I'll deal with him later though, first things first." He said patting his coat pocket.
"Of course, I have no doubt in my mind she'll say yes. Go get 'em tiger." With those parting words Malcolm shut the door leaving Percy alone
So Percy walked towards the beach hoping he would find Annabeth there. He heard voices coming from the turf. He stopped short as he recognized one of them as Annabeth's. He strained his ears to try and hear the ongoing conversation. He felt his heartbreak as he heard the next sentence
"Of course Skyler I promised you I would break up with him when he returned and I intend to keep that promise."
Percy moved closer so he could finally see them, if it was possible his heart broke even more. Annabeth was lying down in the sand wrapped around this kid called 'Skyler' he looked about sixteen or so. All of the sudden he pulled Annabeth closer and they started to kiss passionately.
A cold face devoid of any emotion Percy stepped out of the bushes twigs snapping as he did so. "Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Percy asked sternly.
His words had the desired effect on them as they both adopted the looks of deer caught in headlights. "Percy what are you doing here?" Annabeth asked in a weak voice.
"Oh you know just seeing the sights, however it is safe to say I am quite disappointed in them." Percy replied casually.
Annabeth opened her mouth to reply but Skyler pushed her behind him and said. "So, this is the great Percy Jackson, you don't look like much. I tell you what beat me in battle and Annabeth is all yours." He challenged, an arrogant grin on his face.
Percy scoffed "I don't want her back. A word of advice, I suggest you move on, she might just cheat on you while you are trying to prove yourself to her mother, you know, being a son of Poseidon and all."
"Oh yeah," Skyler retorted "Is 'not wanting her back' your way of chickening out pussy?"
He barely finished his sentence as Percy's fist connected with his head, wiping the smirk off his face in the process. His shocked expression turned into rage as he charged at him, the boy threw sloppy punch after sloppy punch at Percy, all of which he dodged with ease. Eventually Percy reached out and grabbed his hand, twisting it and snapping it like a twig before he kicked his legs out from under his little brother. Watching him struggle to get up Percy waited, when he finally completed the task Percy darted forward and grabbed his brother's head with his two hands and brought it down to his knee, repeatedly. When he stopped Skyler fell to the ground in a bloody heap.
With his anger gone he collapsed to his knees in sadness, and started to cry his eyes out. He didn't notice Annabeth approaching him warily.
"Percy." She called out softly.
Percy's head snapped up so fast he might have gotten whiplash, his face darkened until his eyes looked like raging hurricanes and his mouth was twisted into the most intense snarl Annabeth has ever seen on her boyfriend's face. "Get away from me you stupid slut! I never want to see you again!" He screamed in rage.
Annabeth felt tears brim on her eyes before she ran away, sobbing, before he could go back to grieving a flash of light made him close his eyes. When he opened them the immediately saw Athena, goddess of wisdom, in full battle armor and grey eyes smoldering in rage.
"PERSEUS JACKSON YOU DARE CALL MY DAUGHTER A SLUT! AFTER I GAVE YOU MY BLESSING! I WILL SMITE YOU WHERE YOU STAND!" Athena roared.
All of the sudden Percy felt very small, and not just because Athena was at her godly height. "Well you see," He weakly began, only to be cut off.
"ENOUGH, SPARE ME YOUR LIES BOY, DO YOU HAVE ANY LAST WORDS?" She boomed readying her spear.
Deciding he hit rock bottom and he might as well go out swinging Percy said. "For a goddess of wisdom, you sure are an idiot."
Athena grew red in the face as she stuttered in response, flustered that someone would call her an idiot "What, you, AHHHHH!" She yelled and launched her spear at the son of Poseidon.
Controlling his feelings, the rage, the anger, the stress, the everything that had taken a toll on him from the past two wars, there was nothing holding him back. With a guttural scream of anger the ocean responded to its master and knocked Athena off her feet. Percy rode the stray wave to the edge of camp before he took off into a dead sprint.
-X-
Three days, surprisingly that was how long it took for the monster to sense him, by then he was already hiding out in the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. It happened while he was trying to teach himself throwing knives created out of ice. He could make them just fine and was actually decent at a ranged weapon for once, if you can call throwing knives ranged weapons.
Currently he was roaming the woods with a bottle of water, looking for a rabbit or squirrel, basically anything to satisfy his hunger. Unfortunately all he could find was a lone laestrygonian giant when he stepped through a clearing; they just stared at each other, waiting for the other to make the first move. It was the laestrygonian that decide to go first, spinning around he grabbed the tree behind him like it was a stick in the mud. Continuing his rotation he swung the tree around and hurled it at Percy.
"Oh shit!" Percy yelled before diving behind a rock for cover. The tree smashed into the rock with a CRACK and wood chips showered over Percy.
Drawing Riptide while still undercover Percy peered over the rock carefully, what he saw both confused and frightened him. The laestrygonian giant brought a hunting horn to his lips and blew as hard as he could. The booming of the horn could be heard for miles as it echoed and rolled of the hills of the Smoky Mountains.
Figuring he didn't have much time before any reinforcements this guy might have just called in he threw Riptide horizontally like a Frisbee and watched as it decapitated the giant. Not waiting for the legendary sword to return to his pocket he took off as fast as he could towards his camp.
Hastily kicking his fire out he began to pack his bag full of belongings. Once finish he shouldered his pack and standing up he notice it was eerily quiet. No birds were chirping, wind had died down and every one of his instincts screamed 'RUN!'
Trusting his gut Percy dropped his pack and drew Riptide once more. He must have waited at least thirty seconds before the first giant burst through the woods on his left. Meeting the charge Percy ran at the giant. Once in range he jumped as high as he could before he brought Riptide down in an overhead stab to the giant's chest. He landed on the chest and fell to the ground when the giant burst into golden dust under him.
The rest of the laestrygonians stepped out of the tree line, forming a circle around his camp, each line about two giants thick. Without a second thought Percy charged at the nearest one, slamming into the closest one with a crash, knocking him off his feet. He was about to stab the giant off when he was suddenly yanked off his feet and thrown against a tree.
When he landed he coughed up a little blood 'I am going to have to be a little more careful.' Percy thought to himself, before two giants charged at him. Forming a sword out of ice he swung both of them at the one on the left, and he disintegrated, ducking under the second giant's fist he swung his sword again and sliced the hand off the giant. It fell to its knees in pain before Percy decapitated him and he disappeared in a shower of golden dust as well.
"Three down, Forty-seven to go." Percy muttered.
At those words all the giants charged simultaneously. Percy blocked the first fist thrown at him, smacking it off course before stabbing the giant in the stomach. He jumped back before another monster could snatch him up. Slashing his swords at the laestrygonian's stomach he too disappeared in dust.
Unfortunately while he was focusing on the enemies in front of him he forgot about the giants behind him. They were only drawn to his attention when one drove a spear through his stomach. Percy did a three-sixty, killing all giants around him before he cut off the spearhead and ripped the shaft out of his body, determined to keep fighting.
The next few giants came at him with crude looking swords. Giant number fourteen I think jabbed his sword at Percy's mid-section while numbers fifteen and sixteen swung their swords at his head. Percy jumped to the right and brought his sword down in a hammer blow, knocking all of the swords out of their owner's hands. While they were stunned at the display of flexibility Percy swung his sword like a baseball bat and cleaved the three giants in half.
He leapt forward and deflected the next giants strike with his bare hand before stabbing him in the chest. Using his left hand he shot a concentrated jet of scalding hot water at the giant next to him, the pressure pierced his skull, and the skulls of the four giants behind him.
Percy gritted his teeth as he whirled around and just barely blocked a strike from ugly number twenty-three. He re-summoned his ice sword and stabbed the giant in the stomach. With the little breathing room he had Percy spun around once more, swords out and killed the fresh wave of giants surrounding him.
A trio of giants charged at him spears lowered and ready to impale him. Percy ducked under the first one's spear before launching a hard kick to his chest, making stumble back into his teammate's sword. Percy locked blades/spears with the remaining to giants before he disengaged which made the giants stumble forward a bit. Percy then leapt forward and killed the two giants simultaneously with his swords.
Opening his water bottle he willed the water to flow out, before taking the shape of five individual daggers. Using his powers he froze the water and sent it at the giants, all five hit their marks.
Exhausted by his new found power over ice he failed to notice the giant charging at him. Percy flew backwards and slammed through one, two, three trees before coming to a stop and plowing a deep trench in the ground.
"Ow!" Percy moaned, spitting up more blood and even some dirt. His body felt like a massive bruise. He definitely broke a couple ribs, and he wasn't going to last longer while he was bleeding out from the spear wound in his stomach. He was losing strength already.
Ignoring the extreme pain in his body he charged at the closet giant, de-summoning his ice sword to save what little strength he had left. The Hero of Olympus roared as he swung his sword and destroyed giant number forty, only ten more to go.
One giant came at him with swords; Percy charged forward as well but at the last minute sidestepped while jumping in the air as high as he could as he killed baddy number forty-one. Whirling around he saw another giant coming at him, he drew back Riptide and let it fly, striking the giant in the forehead. Now weaponless Percy briefly closed his eyes and searched for a source of water. What he found was about a hundred yards to his left was a small creek. Using the last bit of his strength he drew water from the river, just enough to form a dozen or so daggers. Freezing the daggers so they would actually do damage and not uselessly splash in the giant's face he started throwing them none stop, two at a time, until there were none left.
With the remaining four daggers Percy unfroze them and willed them to heal the gaping hole in his stomach. While it helped it certainly did not heal it. With a last ditch effort Percy began his walk to the river, said walk soon turned into a stumble and the stumble turned into the crawl as his adrenaline was wearing off and the full effects of the wounds were starting to kick in. He just barely made it to the creek edge before he collapsed. This was pathetic, all he had to do was take one more step and he would be perfectly fine. But the pain was to excruciating for him to move. Lying on his back he could barely register the clouds passing by as he felt light-headed and the world started spinning. That was all he remembered before he lost the battle to unconsciousness.
Flashback End.
Percy was shaken awake by somebody, expecting pain Percy closed his eyes and braced for the worst as he sat up. Surprisingly he felt no pain, cautiously opening his eyes he found himself on the floor of an all too familiar recording studio: DOA
"Welcome to the land of the living friend. Well, not really." Someone joked.
Turning his attention to the speaker, he was surprised to come face to face with none other than the son of Nemesis himself, Ethan Nakamura. His face looked no different than when Percy last saw him, still in his armor and eye-patch from the Titan war so long ago.
"Ethan, what are you doing here?" Percy asked.
Ethan snorted "I died remember, demigod or not Charon still won't let me in without payment. I now have to wait in line like a regular mortal." Ethan sighed "Yup. Only four thousand nine hundred and sixty-three years left until I can be judged for the fields of punishment. Whoopee for me." He drawled.
"I am going see if I can get out of this eternal waiting room." Percy said.
Standing up Percy got off the black leather couch and started walking through the steel grey room to the security guard's desk. It gave Percy a small sense of dejavu back to when he was twelve years old looking for Zeus' master bolt. Ringing the push bell on the desk he watched as Charon spun around and without looking up from his newspaper, (L.A. Weekly for those of you wondering) he asked
"What do you want?" He snapped in his ever so loving British accent.
"I want to go to the Underworld." Percy said out loud.
Charon's mouth twitched "Well, that's original. How'd you die?"
A coy smile spread across Percy's lips "Bathtub." He said.
Charon sighed through his nostrils. "What is it with people and bathtubs now a days? You're the second one in five years."
Percy's smile grew even wider. "What can I say, those bathtubs are infernal contraptions."
Charon snorted "Yeah, maybe for the elderly and babies. You got any payment?"
At this point Percy's smile threatened to split his face. "Why don't you look up and see how much I am worth?"
Slamming the newspaper on the desk Charon lifted his gaze, when he recognized those familiar sea green eyes his breath hitched and he smiled. "Well I'll be damned, Percy Jackson, and actually dead this time. How'd you die?"
"Laestrygonian giant stabbed a spear through my stomach; another one broke a couple of ribs."
Charon made that 'tsk tsk' sound "Oh I am sorry to hear that, I truly am. Hey do you mind if I call Hades and tell him you died?"
A puzzled look spread across Percy's face 'I didn't do something wrong, did I?' Percy asked himself. Trying to remember if he ever did anything bad to the Lord of the dead and coming up blank Percy said in a wary tone. "Sure I guess."
Pulling a radio out from under his desk he adjusted the stations, once at the proper frequency he spoke into it. "Hey boss, you'll never guess who just showed up dead at my front desk…. No not Betty White, I swear that girl was blessed by Hebe or something, lass never dies. Anyway, you'll get a kick out of this one, its none other than Percy Jackson…. I know you would want to boss that is why I radioed you…. Alright I'll tell him, see you in a few boss." Charon finished turning off the radio and returning it under his desk.
"Um, what was that all about?" Percy asked confused.
It was Charon's turn to give an ear to ear grin. "You're in for a surprise lad. Lord Hades himself is coming up to escort you to the Underworld. Why, this hasn't happened since the days of Achilles!" He exclaimed.
"Okay, I guess. What do I do in the mean time?" Percy asked.
Charon gave him an incredulous look from the guard's chair. "I don't know?" He said sarcastically "Have you tried, waiting?"
Not responding Percy put his head down in shame and walked back to the leather couch he was previously sharing with his ex-rival son of Nemesis.
"What'd he say?" Asked the one-eyed demigod.
"He said, he said Hades himself was coming to personally escort me to the Underworld." Percy replied.
Ethan barked out a laugh. "Classic Percy Jackson, only you would get a personal escort by the king of the Underworld himself."
Percy was about to let out an indignant 'HEY!' while he was in the process of sitting down as a rebuttal to Ethan's claim when he felt a sharp pain in his stomach. Thinking it was his positioning he stood straight up, but the pain only grew worse. It felt as if someone poured Styx water all over his stomach. He collapsed face forward in pain.
He could barely hear Ethan calling his name. "Percy, Percy are you okay?" His friend cried out in worry, carefully flipping him over so Percy was on his back.
Percy watched through his eyes as his vision tunneled, his heartbeat was quickening and his feeling of nausea had only increased. He was on the verge of passing out when in his small field of vision he saw the familiar onyx eyes of his Uncle Hades on his knees next to his body, that's when Percy Jackson blacked out and his spirit left the Underworld.
-XX-
Percy bolted straight up in bed, his body was covered in a cold sweat and he couldn't get control of his breathing. There was a little bit of sunlight filtering through the shades and illuminating the room. The walls were a dark navy blue and a light beige carpet covered the floor. There was a king sized he was in complete with one of those overhangs, canopies, that's what they were called. There was a rather large dresser in the corner of the room. This room didn't seem like some sort of monster layer. It actually gave off a sort of comfortable feeling.
Next to him he heard a yawn, looking back he saw a girl with the most beautiful red hair and blue eyes, she was also completely naked and revealed her rather, large um boobs. Going a cherry red at the thought he turned his direction skyward, if the girl noticed she didn't say anything as she got out of bed and started getting dressed into the clothes that were laying on the nightstand. Unsure of what to do Percy just watched her while the girl got dressed. Now, make no mistake, Percy was not a pervert or anything like that, but there was a naked girl that just crawled out of the bed he was sleeping in to reveal a rather curvaceous body, and proceeded to get dressed right in front of his very eyes. If you can tell me you would have the decency to look away that entire time, then you must me Jesus Christ himself.
When the girl finally finished getting dressed in what looked like a cross between a maid's outfit and a school uniform she turned around, upon seeing him she gave him a heartwarming smile that would have made a lesser man swoon.
'No.' Percy thought 'I can't be thinking like that. I will never love another girl after Annabeth; I won't get my heart broken again.'
"Oh, good you're up." The red headed beauty said in a melodious voice.
"Um, yeah, where am I?" Percy asked carefully, fearing she was some sort of monster or worse, Aphrodite in disguise.
The red head giggled "Why silly, you are in Kuoh Town, Japan of course."
"Oh, right, naturally. Mind telling me why exactly I am in Kuoh Town, Japan. I am pretty sure I was in America a couple hours ago, and like dead."
The red head switched into a no nonsense tone that reminded him a bit of his mother. "You are here because I brought you here. Yes it is true that you were dead, but I resurrected you to become my servant and rook in the House of Gremory."
Percy looked at the red head incredulously. 'I am no one's servant.' He thought defiantly, but deciding he can always just run away or bust out whenever things turned south he voiced the other questions on his mind and spit them out rapid fire. "What is the house of Gremory? What do you mean rook, isn't that like a chess piece? How can you resurrect people, I thought that was impossible. And uh did I um, 'sleep' with you?"
"My full name is Rias Gremory, House of Gremory is my family crest. Sleep with me yes you did. Sleep with me no. The only way to heal your wounds was to be close to you over an extended period of time and I prefer to sleep naked. And to answer your other question, I am a devil, no I don't have horns." She said when she saw Percy opened his mouth; she smirked when he closed it embarrassedly. "I am a devil from the bible; fallen angels also exist as well as angels and God." She continued "You did die and I resurrected you, now you are a devil as well."
I kind of lost concentration for about the next five minutes as she kept rambling on, I caught a few phrases and words that caught my attention though like "Weapons made of light that could kill us with a scratch… Chess pieces in real life… Knights have super speed…. Bishops are healers…. Rooks have super strength…. She was the king and her subjects were called a peerage..." Then she started talking about stuff like dragons and old gears or something like that. Percy entered la-la land by that point. The only real coherent thought that kept running through the forefront of his mind was 'I am like Heracles, just not a douche.'
"Percy, Percy, PERCY!" Rias screamed
"Huh, what?" Percy mumbled as he snapped out of his stupor. He looked up and noticed Rias had moved from her previous spot and was leaning against the door frame giving him and pointed look.
"I said come on; I will introduce you to the rest of my peerage." The king huffed annoyed.
"Right, sorry." Percy mumbled as he rolled out of the bed he was still sitting in and started walking to the door. As he tried to pass through the door frame Rias put a hand up to his chest signaling him to stop. "What is it Rias?" Percy asked, confused.
Rias rolled her eyes at her newest recruit. "Put a shirt on." She said pointing to the dresser in the corner.
Percy looked down and noticed he was only wearing the jeans he died in. "Oh, right." Percy mumbled, embarrassed that he didn't even notice he was shirtless, if he wasn't making a good first impression now, oh boy. Percy stalked over to the dresser; his two options were a low cut pink V-neck with the PINK logo on the front or a plain black tank top. Figuring the tank top was for him and not the girl's shirt he picked it up off the dresser and slid it on. He looked up in the mirror to check his appearance, his hair was just the right amount of disheveled, his eyes were no longer puffy or red (He ran out of tears on day two) and were back to their usual sea green despite losing some of its previous luster. The shirt didn't really help that much as it was skin tight and you could clearly see his abs and muscles through the shirt. Satisfied he walked back up to Rias "Better?" He asked.
"For now." Rias replied and started walking, without looking back to Percy she clarified. "I will get you a school uniform for when you go to school, but yes that is better for now."
Percy groaned as he lagged behind, kidnapped, dead and a devil and he still had to go to the worst place on Earth, school. He was so upset he didn't even notice Rias had stopped walking and almost bumped into her. Luckily though he realized this at the last second and swiftly sidestepped.
"Percy meet my queen, Akeno." Rias introduced "Think of her as my right hand woman. As a queen she has a power combined of all the other evil pieces. Akeno meet Percy, my rook alongside Koneko."
Percy just blankly watched as Akeno's eyes hungrily roamed over his body. Used to worse from the goddess of love herself he stood there unfazed and waited for her to finish. While waiting he got a good look at Akeno. She seemed to have an aura of playfulness around her; with violet eyes and a slim figure. Her hair looked like it was suspended in mid-air by a piece of fabric and it fell down in several strands in the front. Being the good gentleman Percy was he introduced himself first.
He stuck out his hand "Hi, I am Percy Jackson."
Akeno shook his hand lightly "Akeno Himejima, It's a pleasure to get to know you."
Percy flashed her a dazzling smile and softly kissed her knuckles "The pleasure is all mine Ms. Himejima." He muttered. 'I guess the whole staying alone forever thing didn't work out that long.' Percy thought dryly.
Akeno had a wave of pink wash over her face, while Rias' face adopted a dark look. It looked between a cross of annoyed and jealous? Percy couldn't figure out why she was jealous, after all he just met these people. Spending his life fighting and surviving lead him to pick up a few talents including reading facial emotions, a survival habit if he had to describe it. And he was one-hundred percent sure she was jealous he didn't know why, but she was.
"C'mon lover boy, I still haven't introduced you to the rest of the group." Rias said clipping off each word, grabbing his arm and dragging him along.
They started down the hallway once more, Rias had the lead and Percy and Akeno were flanking her while Rias was leading the pair down the long and winding hallways the duo started up a conversation and were talking animatedly.
"You seem to be taking this awfully calmly Percy; things like this happen a lot?" Akeno asked jokingly.
Percy sighed in exasperation. "You don't know the half of it; one thing after another. I haven't had a break since I was twelve. This isn't that surprising really just, think of it as another water molecule in the sea of crazy that is my life."
Rias stopped at a staircase and turned back to Percy apologetically. "I'm sorry Percy. I only mean for the best when I revived you, if you want to leave you can. I'll release you from your oath of service." She finished sorrowfully, a few tears leaking out, thinking she had forced him against his will.
If there is one thing Percy can't handle it's a crying woman. Need to kill and army of monsters, call Percy. Want someone to retrieve something from the bottom of the deepest trench in the ocean, call Percy. Are you in a battle to the death with the personification of Earth, call Percy. Is there a woman crying and you need to calm her down, well, don't call Percy.
He reached over and lightly grabbed Rias' shoulder. "Hey." He said soothingly "I didn't mean it like that, I'd be happy to serve you and your family, even if I just met you guys."
Rias stifled back a sob; she hated the thought of losing any of her evil pieces, even if he was just recruited yesterday. There was something about Percy that just screamed 'friendly' and 'helpful' and 'great guy to have around' "Thank you Percy." She said wrapping him up in a hug, boobs squashing up against his chest. Pushing that very naughty thought out of his mind Percy slowly wrapped his arms around her waist and looked to Akeno frantically for help, only to find her glaring murderously at Rias. Now, you see Percy wasn't good old oblivious Percy anymore; he had grown smarter over the years. Ok, maybe smarter wasn't the right word for it. More like he had grown more observant over the years of being a demigod. Right now he noticed that in about the half an hour he had woken up he had made two close friends jealous of one another and they both had a crush on him.
'Boy am I in a predicament. The fates really do hate me don't they?' Percy thought glumly.
With a humorless chuckle Percy realized that just associating with this one devil broke two of his most important rules.
1) Have no relations with a girl outside of Annabeth. (Percy slept with Rias, while she was naked.)
2) Stay your own man, bow down to no one. (Literally just said "I'd be happy to serve you and your family.")
But hey, rules are made to be broken right?
