Introduction
After he was born, a tragedy killed his mother, Sally Jackson. His father Poseidon, was unable to raise him in Atlantis, and when all hope was lost, he was found by the creator of universe, trained by the primordials to be the child of the prophecy, and save the world. When the Norse gods return to Midgard, a foe that rivals the power to any primordial came along, the last hope of the world rests on the shoulders of Percy Jackson, birth son of Poseidon, adopted son of Hestia and Chaos, champion of the Primordials. His allies? The Olympians, the Greek and Roman demigods, and the few Norse deities who have returned from Asgard? His enemy? An evil Norse god, the titans, a few ancient primordial deities and their armies that is capable to destroy the universe.
Chapter One
It was a sunny, peaceful day on the beach of Montauk. Sally Jackson was standing on the beach, with a baby snuggled in her arms.
It was a usual day for her, looking after her son, missing her lover, and thanking the gods for a peaceful, monster free day she gets to spend with her son.
Only if she knew how wrong she was.
Line Break
Hestia was tending the hearth on Olympus as usual, sitting on her seat unnoticed, seeing her family, i.e. brothers argue like teens, and watching over millions of families through the hearth.
'Just a normal day on Olympus' She thought
But she was wrong, something caught her eyes really soon.
Sally was playing with her son. Although life was unfair to her, but she was happy, and she appreciated every second she gets to spend with her son, Percy, alone, in peace.
What she didn't notice was, a pair of red eyes was watching closely in the shadows.
Can you really blame the hellhound? Monsters live on the blood and flesh of demigods, their scents are just too attractive, especially one like this, the scent of sea.
The creature lunged forward from the darkness, moving with an incredible speed possessed by hellhounds only. Its blood red eyes were glowing, claws flying across the air, bloody mouth lunging forward at the woman and the half blood.
Hestia was watching her brother's son. She was always watching the lives of heroes. Since she was always the quiet one, she sees everything, knows more than anyone else.
She could see the boy has a long, important life ahead of him, covered in mists, not even her know for sure the what he will have to go through. But she can see a long, complicate, dark life ahead, full of great responsibilities, deaths and fighting.
And this is just the start. The very first tragedy in his life approaches.
She watched as Sally Jackson shielded her son from the hellhound, its monstrous claws slashing deep through her back.

She led out a helpless scream, but she knew it was useless. She knew her wound was fatal. She won't survive this. Her lover couldn't come to her rescue because of his responsibilities as a god, and ancient laws forbid gods from directly interfere.
'But at least my son has a chance to live' She thought, and that's enough for her.
She decided to protect her son, no matter what. Even at the price of her dying life.
With the newfound strength, she bared the burning pain on her back, and dodged away just in time from another slash.
She got up, holding Percy in her arms tight, not letting go no matter what, and made run for the other side of the beach.
Blood was streaming from her found, faster than she thought possible due to the adrenaline coursed through her body.
She managed to keep going, until she fell, and the hellhound was on top of her.
She took another deadly stab for her son again, accelerating her certain death.
'I'm sorry Percy' She thought sadly as the hellhound lunged its enormous mouth forward.
She closed her eyes as she waited for the pain to come.
But it never did.
Hestia was watching. She now holds a new level of respect towards this mortal woman who is willing to give her life for her son's survival.
'No wonder why my brother fell for her' She thought.
As a goddess, she wasn't supposed interfere because of the ancient laws, but she knew she had to do something.
She has watched over millennia, seeing countless heroes and their mortal parents die at the hands of monsters, but she won't allow it to happen again, even if she has to break the ancient laws.
She knew the boy has a great future ahead of him, but he won't have anything if he doesn't survive the day.
Hearth represents hope, and she could hope was leaving the beautiful, strong woman Sally Jackson, replaced by hopelessness.
Knowing not many people would notice she's gone, probably only her brother Poseidon would, for the first time she did not stay and watch, she flashed down to the Montauk Beach, leaving a room of ignorant Olympians, unaware of what just happened.
Line Break
A tall man with pale skin and pure black eyes was watching. He always sees everything. This time, he sees a future great hero, probably Earth's only hope, about to meet his death with his mother.
When he was about to snap his finger to create a portal, he noticed a new presence incoming.
'Of course' he thought as he sat back down on his couch, 'Hestia would never let that happen'
Line Break
Hestia flashed down to the beach just in time before the monster finishes the mother and child off.
She led out a wave of flame, blasting the hellhound into golden dust.
Sally Jackson was waiting for the pain to come, but it never did. Instead of pain, she felt something falls over her.
Slowly, she opened her eyes, onto to be met by a pair of glowing, apologetic orange eyes.
When she saw the warm, glowing orange eyes, she immediately knew who it was.
"La… Lady Hestia" She managed, trying to sound as politely as possible with a huge gap on her stomach.
"You are a very brave woman" Hestia said, "I'm sorry, but your wound is beyond my ability to heal, I'm afraid the Fates have already cut your life string."
Sally wanted to cry, but she didn't. She knew this was coming. She just felt sorry and sad that she will have to leave Percy behind.
"Wi… Will my… son be okay?" She did her best to speak.
Hestia nodded, 'He's fine, you protected him very bravely, he'll survive' She spoke to Sally through their minds.
Sally nodded too, 'Can you keep him safe for me, please?' She thought back.
Hestia gave her a reassuring smile, 'Don't worry, I will make sure he's safe, I promise.'
Sally sent her a grateful look, before looking down at her son one last time.
"Goodbye Percy, I love you." She whispered to her son, before closing her eyes, drifting into the realm of Hades.
Hestia put her hands over the body of Sally Jackson, and then murmured a blessing in ancient Greek.
Orange flames wrapped around Sally's body, as she disappeared with a glow of orange light.
'Now the boy' Hestia thought.
She pressed a finger on Percy's forehead, then chanted in ancient Greek as a stream of orange energy entered Percy's body.
Percy opened his eyes from a nap. The second he was officially adopted by Hestia, his eyes changed from sea green to orange, with only a ring of green left, around his eyeballs.
She smiled at the boy, thinking she would keep her promise and keep him safe, train Perseus to become a great hero. But she can't raise him on Olympus, not even he's technically not her child. Zeus would no doubt try to kill him with every chance he has, even he'll have to face his big sister's wrath.
'Why would Zeus be so paranoid?' She sighed.
With that, she had only one option left.
A black portal appeared in front of her at the thought. She smiled; Perseus will no doubt be in safe hands.

The tall man in black suit and sunglasses watched the scene from his couch, smiling at Hestia and Perseus.
'Soon' He thought as he snapped his fingers, opening a black portal to Hestia and the child.
The he walked through the portal, and disappeared.
Line Break
Hestia smiled, without even looking, she said, "I knew you the come, looks like we both agreed to the same thing, Chaos."
"Indeed we do, old friend" Chaos nodded, "He is the child of the great prophecy, I can see it. When the time comes, he might be our only hope."
"Will you raise him in Void?" Hestia asked, but she already knew the answer.
"Of course" Chaos responded "I will train him hard, so he can fulfill the prophecy. And when the time comes, he shall become a primordial god, just like his sibling."
Hestia seems to be stunned at the last part, but quickly got over the initial shock. "You are going to adopt him?" She questioned, still surprised.
Chaos nodded again, "The boy is going to need a father, and I'm sure my other children will gladly accept him, especially Nyx and her daughter Hemera." The creator of universe answered, before he quickly added "Well… at least most of them. The unfortunate fact is, one day he will have to fight some of his siblings."
Hestia partly expected that, "I can tell a great threat is approaching, looks like some of your children will want to destroy us, Gaea and Tartarus, I presume?"
Chaos sighed, "That's not it, but unfortunately I think it's a topic for another time my friend."
Hestia nodded understandingly, before passing Percy to Chaos. Chaos gently set Percy in his arms, and pressed his finger on Percy's forehead, sending a stream of black energy into Percy.
After it was done, Percy's eyes were glowing; shifting between orange, black and golden, a small ring of sea green was still wrapped around his eyeballs.
Hestia gasped at the sight, "He's even more powerful than I thought" She exclaimed.
Chaos nodded, "I can tell Perseus here will always be full of surprises." He responded before snapping his fingers again, opening a portal to Void.
"Well, I'd better go and introduce him to his siblings now, you know how to contact me if you want to talk or see him. You are free to visit as often as you want, Hemera was looking forward to see you again soon, so was Nyx." Chaos said.
Hestia smiled at the mention of her friends, "Yes, I'll visit tomorrow, it's been too long since I last came. I believe we have a lot of catching up to do."
She gave her friend and son another warm smile, before watching them returning to Void.
'Well that was certainly an eventful day.' Hestia thought before flashing back to Olympus, still smiling at the thought of finally having her own child.
Line Break
Poseidon was sitting in his temple, mourning over his lost love.
He was in the middle of a council meeting when it happened. He watched the hellhound approaching his lover, slashing her across her back. He watched Sally protecting Percy with her life, and receiving another fatal wound.
He could tell the Fates have cut her life string. He can't save her even if he break the ancient laws and go to their aid. He couldn't watch it anymore, so he left the scene, forcing himself to think about anything else.
He put on a calm, emotionless façade, and turned his attention back to the boring speech his brother Zeus was giving the council.
He couldn't help but to be surprised that nobody has fallen asleep or told drama queen to shut up.
Poseidon looked around. Apollo was listening to music, Hermes was playing his phone, Hephaestus was forging something mechanic, Hades looked like he's ready to kill himself if he has to listen to drama queen's speech for another second.
'Just a normal day' He thought, not noticing Hestia was missing.
As the Lord of Seas, he had his duties on the council, but not when he's alone.
He couldn't sense Sally or Percy anymore, they were gone.
Sadness consumed him of not being able to protect his lover, or his son never knowing how much his father loved him.
'I'm so sorry' He thought, before bursting into tears.
Line Break
Chaos walked through the portal into his room, his mind was still on the infant in his arms.
He looked down at his new son, smiled and said, "It's time for you to meet your siblings, little one."
Then he walked to where he knew the family members who are currently living with him in Void would be.
Line Break
Nyx was doing things she usually does everyday as the primordial goddess of night. Annoying her daughter Hemera, telling her son Hypnos to work for more drachmas and kicking his husband Erebus' ass in sparring.
Her husband Erebus was complaining about how Nyx wins their spar every time, until their father Chaos walked into the arena.
"I have some good news, children."
