Alright guys, so this is my first attempt on a Perzoë fic. A warning, this will start off similar to Anaklusmos14's Altered Destinies. I am sorry for this, but this fic was inspired by it, after all. I thank him for all his stories, and if any of you can contact him then tell him that I apologize for basing the beginning of my story like his. On the other hand, about halfway into the story, this will most likely be different afterwards.

Sally Jackson was breathing heavily in an alleyway. She could feel that her time was a lost up. Ugh, if she didn't have a child with Poseidon then she wouldn't have been married to that disgusting sadist. She had tried explaining to Percy who his REAL father was, but it didn't help that he was only four years old.

She prayed for ANYONE to protect her son. He ha gotten some nasty scars after attempting to defend his mother from Gabe. He had cuts all over his body, and a large X shaped scar on his chest, the poor boy. She knew that this was the last time that she would see her son, yet she mentally insisted that she would rather leave it like this and not meet her son in the Underworld.

Thankfully, Queen Hera was casually strolling with Lady Artemis by her side nearby (maybe around the block, I dunno). Hera may have hated Artemis for being a reminder of Zeus's unfaithfulness, but the two goddesses bonded over Zeus's inability to keep it in his pants. Both froze when they heard Sally's prayer and instantly teleported to her side. They were shocked to see Sally in such a condition. She had cuts oozing out blood almost everywhere and in her arms was a male child, who was sleeping.

"L-Lady Artemis ad Queen H-Hera, please protect my child." begged Sally.

The two looked at each other when sally knew who they were but put it that her child must have been a demigod.

"Relax, we will take care of her. Forgive us for being unable to save you, however." said Hera ruefully.

Sally gave a weak smile . Before she died, however, she said one last thing. "His name is Perseus, but we all call him Percy. I give him my blessing." She then finally expired.

Hera then looked at the young child, whose face was similar to that of a person experiencing a pleasant dream. Artemis couldn't help but smile at him. He has the potential to become perhaps the greatest male alive.

Hera sighed. "I may not like demigods but this is too much for me. Perhaps I should look into his memories."

Hera instantly regretted that decision. She had a distinct hatred for demigods usually because it meant that the gods were going against her domain, but she couldn't help but feel bad for all the crap that young Perseus had to go through.

Artemis was also looking through Percy's memories but she felt pride rather than sorrow. He was brave enough to protect his mother at such a young age. His mother must not die in vain.

Artemis then said, "What shall we do with him, my Queen? He has the potential to become the only male that I may actually give respect for."

Hera hesitated before saying firmly, "I shall adopt him as my son. He must be accepted by my husband, considering the massive amount of children that he has fathered. Surely one demigod can't be that bad."

Artemis smiled. "Thank you for sparing his life, my Queen. Hades, he may be the only male that the Hunters may accept."

Hades suddenly appeared. "What have I said about using my name like that? And who is that child? I sense massive power and potential in him, far greater than that obnoxious Heracles. No offense, my Queen."

Hera shrugged. "No problem Hades. it's not like anyone likes that upstart anyways. As for the chile, we saved him after his mother expired but we have yet to figure out his parentage-"

"He's a son of Poseidon." said Hades angrily, as he looked into Sally's memories.

Artemis then looked uncertain. "We must not allow Zeus to kill this demigod. Perhaps he may be the one the Prophecy refers to."

Hera nodded. Suddenly, Percy woke up.

Mama. Want Mama. Help her from Smelly Gabe. Bad Gabe, hurt Mama. thought Percy as he struggled to wake up. He then saw the three gods.

He was a little nervous at first but asked the three, "Where Mama?"

Hades actually teared up a little from this before regaining his composure. "I'm sorry, child, but your mother is gone."

Percy was stunned before he started crying silently, all while muttering. "Want Mama...don't leave me...why?"

Hera then looked sadly at Percy when she asked him, "Percy, would you like me to be your mom?"

Percy looked up at her with hope shining in his eyes. "Really? Promise no mean Smelly Gabe?"

Hera smiled. "I promise."

Percy then hugged Hera, surprising the Queen of the Heavens. "Thank you, Mama!"

Hera decided to bring the two gods to Olympus to officially claim him.

-line break-

Zeus grumbled. What was his wife's issue this time? It's not like he knocked up another woman...yet. The other Olympians were also wondering this. Hades was granted permission to stay at Olympus for the time being. They also wondered why Hera had a sleeping child in her hands.

"State your reason for calling us hear, wife." said Zeus tiredly.

Hera took at deep breath and looked at Hades and Artemis for support, who nodded back. "I...I wish to adopt the child that I hold in my hands."

Silence grew as he rest of the council took in her statement.

"Request denied." said Zeus gruffly.

Hera then snapped. "Excuse me?! You have well over thousands of children, most of which are illegitimate. Am I not entitled to have but a single adopted demigod?"

She then whispered to him. "He's a son of Poseidon, so you may use that to your advantage if you wish. Just don't put him in danger or get him hurt."

Zeus's eyes widened as he heard Hera's case. "Request granted. Any objections?"

Ares, being the idiot, raised his hand. "Just who is demigod that received your favor?"

Hera glanced at Poseidon quickly before stating, "He is Perseus Jackson. I rescued him from a sadistic stepfather that tortured his mother to death while leaving him with scars. And...he is a son of Poseidon."

Poseidon suddenly sprang to his feet. "Who are you to adopt my son?"

Artemis then spoke. "You practically disowned him by never checking on poor Perseus here. Did you realize that by knocking up poor Sally Jackson she had to marry practically the worst male I have ever seen in my entire lifetime, and that includes Heracles and Orion."

"The ancient laws-" began Poseidon.

"Screw the ancient laws." cut in Hades furiously. "Is it against the laws to merely check on your child?"

Poseidon looked at Zeus for support. Zeus shrugged. "Sorry 'brother' but you have brought this upon yourself. Besides, if he remains your son, we will have to kill him for being a forbidden child."

Poseidon sighed. He would not let his son die, even if it meant Percy living with Zeus. "Very well."

Hera then spoke up. "I, Hera, Queen of the Heavens and Olympus, Wife of Zeus, adopt Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon, as my child."

A bright light covered Percy before shimmering away. This caused him to wake up. He was frightened by the amount of Olympians in the room.

"Mama, " he asked Hera. "Who are they?"

Hera smiled at Percy, which surprised practically almost all of the council while Hermes practically choked. "They are my family, and they have allowed you to be my son. And here is my husband, who will be your dad."

Percy looked at Zeus hesitantly. He then said to the King of the Gods, "Hi daddy."

This made practically the entire council smile, while Aphrodite practically cooed.

Zeus then thundered. "Now is the time for those who wish to bless my new son."

Poseidon walked up. "Hello, Perseus. I am Poseidon, your real father. I am sorry that I could not be there for you. However, I give you my blessing. I have now unlocked your powers of the sea. Perhaps you could late find it in your heart to forgive me later in your life."

Ares then walked up. "I can't understand what the Hades you did to gain mom's favor but I see potential in you. For that, I give you my blessing. Were you to take up any melee weapon, you will master it. Use it well."

Athena then said. "With great power comes great responsibility. I can't help but shudder at what you could do without restraint. Therefore, I give you my blessing. You may formulate plans rather quickly while also being able to think more clearly."

Apollo walked up. "I don't know what the heck you did that didn't make Artemis turn you into an animal for being a male but I'm impressed. I give you my blessing, so you can rock out while being awesome."

Aphrodite then strutted up. "I give you my blessing, so you will one day be beautiful and have a VERY interesting love life."

Hestia then soke up. "I give you my blessing child. You may have powers of the hearth as well as flame."

Hades then said, "Perseus, I give you my blessing, so as to allow you to have the powers of my children."

Zeus, not wanting to be left out in gifting his son, said, "Perseus Jackson, as my adopted son, I give you my blessing. You now have powers over lightning. Use it well."

Artemis finally stood up. "Perseus, I have seen your past and I must admit that you have done some things that I never thought that men were capable of doing. I do not give you my blessing...but rather offer you the chance to become my champion."

Silence pervaded the room before, to everyone's surprise, Percy spoke up. "Thank you, Arty. I will be your ch-cham-champion."

Zeus smiled at how innocent his new son was. This was going to be a very interesting generation. "Let the council, Hades all of Olympus as well as camp know: Queen Hera now has a demigod child!"

-time skip-

After being announced to the world, Percy went to the underworld to train. For 4 years, he trained in military: strategy (Sun Tzu, Oddyseus), swordsmanship (Lü Su, Zhao Zilong, Achilles, Theseus), archery (pretty much all the dead Hunters, they recieved him quite well after they realized that he was Artemis's champion), blade mastery (this is just any unconventional weapons, like scythes), and authority (Hitler[I'm not saying I support Nazism, I'm just saying that he learned how to control people], General Eisonhower, Emperor Hirohito)

After Percy had mastered all aspects of his training, Hades awarded him a Stygian Iron scythe for him to fight with. Percy thanked his uncle and then went to train with Artemis for 4 years.

Surprisingly, the Hunters all liked him. At first, they were based against him because he was a male. However, after one year, they all had warmed up to him and soon they considered him a brother. He practiced archery until he was the only one who could rival Artemis. However, there was one person he was nervous around, and that was her lieutenant: Zoë Nightshade.

Zoë had protested Percy's arrival even more than Phoebe, which is saying something. Sh seemed to absolutely hate him. By the time that he finished his training with Artemis, all that had happened was that Zoë just ignored him.

Percy was saddenned. He had wanted to have another friend. However, he soon ignored all attempts from her to taunt him into a fight. When he finished his training, he had gotten cheers from all the Hunters except for Zoë when he recieved his honorary silver bow.

In reality, Zoë didn't hate Percy, but rather loved him as a good friend. She just didn't know how to express this. She was quite saddened when he had to leave after his training was over.

Soon it was time to introduce Percy to Camp Half-Blood.
