The Olympian throne room was eerily quiet, a sharp contrast to the usual shouting match that normally commenced. "As King of the Gods, I summoned this emergency meeting to discuss the last of the cursed. Poseidon has sired a child, against his oath, and its soul will contain the last human sin," Zeus said.
"You have no proof, brother," Poseidon spat interrupting Zeus.
"THE FATES HAVE DECREED IT! KNOW YOUR PLACE POSEIDON," Zeus screamed, "Now as I was saying. It has been many years since a sin was born. Athena, will you remind the council of the past horrors inflicted by the last sins?"
"Yes father," she replied, "The last know time there were sins was during the trojan war. Paris, the embodiment of Envy; and Agamemnon, the embodiment of Greed. The result was thousands of pointless deaths."
"What does this mean for us?" Hermes asked.
"There was a prophecy about the seventh sin. Apollo, incite the oracle for us please." Apollo's eyes then turned green then he spoke.
Son of Sea, oath to withhold.
Dangers arrive, horrors of old.
Mind fractured and the Seventh sin within
Two broken pieces, an era to end.
Saved by lightning, or maybe death
The hero dies with a final breath.
"Well isn't that just peachy," Demeter said while chewing on a mouthful of cereal.
"Is there any chance of my son surviving, there must be a loophole. Athena, I beg of you, find a way." Poseidon pleaded. Athena gave him a pitying look,
"I do not believe there is another way. The prophecy is surprisingly straight-forward for the most part. Son of the sea, your son, will make an oath. We will be fighting the Titans, or possibly the giants."
"I believe this meeting is over. Poseidon, a word." Zeus said. A barrage of flashes shone, and the two gods were all that was left. "I truly am sorry, Poseidon. We may have our differences, but we are still brothers. No father should have to watch his son struggle through life with no means of guidance. I am here for you if you would like to talk, but remember the ancient laws. No going to see him or else it will only be worst for the both of you. I have talked with Styx about you breaking your oath and she said that she will punish someone, but not you. Your grief will be enough as it is."
"Thank you, brother, I will try my best to listen to your advice." Poseidon then flashed out to mourn his son's future."
Time Skip- 4 years
Shattering sounds could be heard from the kitchen in the Jackson residence. People walking by always suspected there was construction, or the television was on too loud, because on the outside Sally Jackson was always well kept and a model citizen. Every weekend though, on the inside, anger from being abandoned when she needed someone the most was unleashed. There was only one victim though, a young boy with black hair and emerald eyes.
"Percy!" Sally screamed, "Bring me another beer, don't be useless like your no-good father." Percy entered the room and trudged to the fridge opening it when a bottle smashed against his back, thrown roughly from around the room. Blood began to drip from his back as he gave another bottle and scurried back to his room.
Percy POV:
I picked the larger piece of glass out of my back, not even flinching. I guess that's what years of abuse can do to you. I wrapped an old t-shirt around my torso, tying it as well as I could, and began to grab my backpack. Today was the day I have had enough and decided to run away. I had been stockpiling water bottles and stole a box of cereal out of the cabinet. I began to crawl out of the window, intent on using the fire escape when I slipped on some ice and hit my head, blacking out.
Line Break
I woke up in a room that was much to bright and clean to be the apartment. 'Is this a hospital?' I thought 'No, she wouldn't bring me here if I was half dead.'
"Oh hello, your awake," I was interrupted by a girl in a white suit who had walked in the door, "I'll be right back. The doctor needs to be informed your awake." 'Doctor? If this is a hospital, where is all the other patients?' As I was having a breakdown, a man with golden blonde hair and bright blue eyes walked in the door.
"Hello, Percy. I am App-, err Fred. I am the doctor here," he introduced himself, "Can't stay long or else Dad might catch us, your father said to give this to you and to head north. All your answers will be answered there," he spat out quickly, passing me a bag with a change of clothes and some money. "Ask for directions to half-blood hill and Chiron will help you. I have to go now," he said as thunder rumbled overhead.
"Wait, you know my da-," and he was gone as quick as he had appeared. "Great, there's only one problem, I don't know where here is."
Line Break
After 4 hours of wandering around and finally catching a cab, I arrived at this half-blood hill. It seemed like there was a fight going on at the top of the hill, so I threw the cab driver a hundred and told him to keep the change. As I made my way to the fight, I noticed that they were all wearing armor and using swords and stuff. Not to mention the giant mob of monsters in front of them. I did what any sensible 5-year-old would do in that situation, I pissed my pants and ran towards the people fighting the monsters. "RUN!" I screamed as I passed them, headed straight up the hill where others were beginning to gather a force to help the others. As with my usual luck, I tripped at the top of the hill hitting my head on, 'Is that horse feet?' I asked myself before I passed out.
Hello lads and lasses, I have returned after months of stress. This is a story that I've been playing around with for a while now but never got around to writing. It's pretty original, not canon-guardian-chaos at all. Who knows, this might be the next great PJO fanfic. It may also crash and burn *shrugs* oh well. So this story is gonna take priority and expect another update soon. Side-note: I'm going to be traveling the world next year so I'm super excited for that. The UK and France and Greece are my first three places I think I'll go. Anyway this will be a VERY dark story. It also will have a different view on the pairing.
QOTD (Questions of the Day, for those that didn't know): What are your thoughts on the prophecy? It's my first attempt at one and I think it's okay.
What sin do you think Percy has in him? First one to get this right will get a special PM session to discus some plans and maybe have an OC of their choice added.
This is Cloaked Protagonist,
