"Please no! I didn't do anything!"
Silence.
A dark figure walked out, just finishing off his next kill.
An assassin?
Murderer?
Killer?
No.
This man was not any of these, though at the same time, he was all of them.
Who is he?
Maybe this will help…..
FLASHBACK
1000 years before...
Percy and the rest of the 7 were called to the throne room, along with Nico, Reyna, and Calypso. When they got there, the Olympians were bickering with each other, like usual.
"SILENCE," boomed Zeus. They all shut up."WHO PROPOSES THAT THESE HEROES ARE NOT WORTHY?," he announced.
No one objected.
"WELL THEN, LET'S GET ON TO THE AWARDS," he declared as thunder and lightning boomed around the throne room. He called, "JASON, WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE THE MINOR GOD OF HEROES AND AND STORMS?" Jason stood there, his mouth hanging open. After about a minute, he closed his mouth and said, "Father, I will accept, but only if Piper becomes a god as well." Zeus, who had shrunk down to human size answered, "Very well, your wish shall be granted." Then Zeus grew back to 20 feet. Every Olympian then raised their hand and beams of light shot out their hands at Jason and Piper. Zeus's beam of light was electric yellow, Poseidon's was sea green, Hades's was pure black, and so on. Every god's symbol flashed above their head, like they were getting claimed by them. Then it stopped, and one last symbol flashed. Omega. Then the light exploded into pure, godly light. When it stopped, Jason and Piper were floating in the air, surrounded with a similar light. Zeus bellowed, "ALL HAIL JASON, MINOR GOD OF HEROES AND STORMS, AND PIPER, MINOR GODDESS OF CHARM AND AND COMPASSION." Then, the process repeated. Frank, Hazel, Leo, Calypso, Nico, and Reyna all accepted. But when it was Annabeth's turn, I got nervous. Her mother, Athena, shrunk down to human size and said, "Annabeth, how would you like to be the minor goddess of strategy and architecture. She squeezed her eyes together, and when Annabeth had her eyes shut, Athena sneered at me. Annabeth finally opened her eyes and said, "I-" I shut my eyes and waited for the the worst. "-don't accept." I was overjoyed. And the look on Athena's face? Ha! It was hilarious. Then it was my turn. Poseidon boomed, "DOES ANYONE HERE THINK MY SON IS UNWORTHY?"
There were no objections. Poseidon muttered under his breath, "Good." Zeus announced, "PERCY, WE HAVE DECIDED AGAINST OFFERING YOU IMMORTALITY, SINCE YOU WILL MOST LIKELY NOT ACCEPT IT. HOWEVER, WE HAVE DECIDED TO GIVE YOU OUR BLESSINGS AND A WISH. DO YOU ACCEPT?" I thought about it and decided there were no downsides, so I said, "Yes, I accept uncle." Suddenly, the temperature in the room rose. I then felt surge of overwhelming power as the Olympians were chanting. The room filled with light, and the Olympians stopped chanting. Zeus said, "MEETING ADJOURNED," and flashed out with lightning and thunder everywhere. I muttered, "Drama queen," and then got zapped by a mini lightning bolt.
LLLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
BBBBBBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKK
We arrived at camp, but just when I was about to go to sleep, I heard yelling outside. I ran outside and saw a kid being chased by a baby hellhound. I easily killed it. The kid, who looked my age, muttered, "I had it under control." The camp came out and the kid, who's named turned out to be Sethees, told everyone that he had slayed a massive pack of hellhounds, while I tripped and sat there scared and crying. I tried to tell them the truth, but only my friends and Chiron would believe me. Once we arrived in camp, he got claimed by Poseidon himself. He proclaimed that Sethees was his favorite son. After he learned I was the camp leader though, he started targeting my friends. Slowly but surely, I lost my friends, one by one. Katie, the Stolls and everyone else. I even lost Thalia and Nico when I supposedly broke her sacred bow from Artemis and destroyed all of Nico's memorabilia of Bianca. Every loss was like a blow to the heart. Almost all the camp, even Thalia and Nico practically worshipped Sethees. Everyone believed him except Chiron, my mentor. Nonetheless, I stayed strong because I had Annabeth.
Or did I?
I pushed that thought away. In the process of losing my friends, I had used my wish to get permission to marry who I desire. I created the ring with my own hands, with the help of the blessing of Hephaestus of course. Later that night, I slipped a note under the door of the Athena cabin. I had planned a date. An hour later, when Annabeth was supposed to come, I heard noises. Kissing and moaning. I thought, Huh. I should probably leave them alone, but then I saw a curl of hair.

Princess Curl.
I stormed in seething and I shouted, "HOW COULD YOU ANNABETH, WE'VE BEEN TO TARTARUS TOGETHER AND YOU CHEAT ON ME FOR-" I sputtered out angrily, "-THIS LITTLE PIECE OF S***!? I was going to propose, you know, but let me rethink that." I took out the ring. First I pried the gem off, so she could see the engraving inside. I laughed bitterly. "Together forever? Ha. Ha. HA!" I shouted as I sliced the ring in half. Annabeth shouted, "Percy, NO!," sobbing as I ran off into the distance, away from camp.

That's how I got here.
The disgraced legend,
The Forgotten One,
