A/N:This is my first fanfic and I used inspiration from other fics on this site just to let you guys know. I would give a shoutout to those other stories if I remembered their names but sadly I don't. And since this is my first fanfic, I want to be criticized. So just let me know of the mistakes I made, and I'll fix them. For now tho, enjoy the story.
~-~-~Nobody~-~-~
The battlefield was a mess. Bloody weapons, golden dust, ichor and body parts littered the place but that was only where the the roman and greek demigods fought against the monsters trying to make ground. Leading them was Reyna, Thalia and Nico. They were bloodied, bruised and, hurting but that didn't stop them from continuing to fight. But that was nothing compared to how the seven demigods of the prophecy looked liked, not even 100 meters in front of them.
These were the demigods that were teaming up with the Olympians to fight against the giants and Gaea, the primordial of Earth. One demigod in particular was leaving a path of golden dust and carnage in his wake. This one demigod was Perseus Jackson, Savior of Olympus.
~-~-~Percy~-~-~
As Percy fought his way towards Gaea, he slashed, hacked and stabbed everything in his way. Percy was like a tornado of destruction. Monsters and giants alike fell to his trusty sword, riptide, as he tried to end this war as fast as he could. As the giants stomped their way towards him, he brought them down to their knees faster than you could blink. As soon as the giants knees touched the ground a God would appear to finish off the giant and Percy, fast as lightning would already be at the next giant.
13 giants later and only one giant was left standing and that giant was the giant king Porphyrion. But all the demigods and gods were focused on Porphyrion already so Percy decided to go after Gaea himself. When he arrived in front of the earth mother, she just looked like a regular women with the exception of her grass green skin. She looked to be 5'8" about 4 inches shorter than Percy and a small frame that was covered in a regular brown dress. Nothing fancy but she was writhing around. It seemed like something was wrong with her and upon closer inspection he saw something. Running over her was faint golden lines. Percy couldn't help but think he's seen those lines before but before he could think of where he has seen those lines before, all of a sudden Gaea lunged at him.
Percy immediately dodged out of the way before she could strike him. Percy barely had any time to recover as Gaea did another attack followed by another one in quick succession. Percy was forced to go on defensive as Gaea's attacks wavered in strength or ferocity. If anything they seemed to increase in speed the longer Percy defended himself. His strength started to waver as he couldn't take much more. One thought ran through his head as he finally started to tire. And that one thought was that he was gonna die. But that thought sparked something inside of him.
He wasn't going to die yet. He had to finish this war for all of the demigods and immortals that had fallen during this war. He had to do this for his dead mother and stepfather. He had to protect the gods. And with renewed confidence and strength Percy parried Gaea's next strike and followed through with a flurry of attacks forcing Gaea on the defensive.
Every one of Percy's was met with a strike of its own. But every counter strike that was delivered to Percy's blade started to weaken as Gaea started to slow down from the intensity of Percy's attacks. With how slow and weak Gaea started to get, every strike from riptide started to hit its mark.
Soon the savior of olympus was covered in what could only be described as dull red mud. The area around this fight was just just covered in the stuff. And the source of this mud was Gaea herself but it wasn't her that was creating the mud. It was Percy! Percy was winning against the earth itself. She tried one last attempt to hit Percy but he disarmed her which caused her to stumble and fall down onto her knees. She was openly weeping as the dull mud flowed like molasses out of her wounds. It seemed like the war was finally finished all it would take is one last hit from Percy to put Gaea back to sleep.
As he was preparing to put her back to sleep she whispered something that Percy couldn't hear. "What did you say?", asked Percy. He leaned forward to hear her better when she lunged at him and grabbed him by his shoulders. When she lunged, riptide impaled her through the midriff but that didn't seem to affect her. And with the sword still in her, she leaned forward to get her lips next to his ear.
With that she whispered "Thank you for releasing me." She pulled back and gave Percy a watery smile. He was shocked at what she said but before he could respond to what she said, she grabbed his sword and twisted it in her chest and with that she started to crumble to dull red dirt. Percy watched on thinking about what she meant by saying he released her. That's when he remembered the golden lines that were on her when he first starting fighting her. But before he could even think about the lines, he was raised into the air by a group of tired but, happy demigods cheering over the defeat of Gaea.
Percy couldn't help but smile at their antics. Even though they all lost friends, siblings and, loved ones in this war, they were still happy. He looked around while still in the air and spotted his friends and the gods smiling at him. He smiled back and waved at them.
That was when column of water knocked him outta the air. The force of the water made Percy fly through the air and land ten feet in front of the gods and his friends. When he looked up, he saw all of them laughing at him and he saw his dad with a innocent smile on his face. That smile was wiped off his face when Percy hit his dad right in the face with a generous amount of water. And with that, everyone started to laugh harder and even Poseidon couldn't help but chuckle as well.
But all the laughing stopped as soon as a mass of black fur tackled Percy to the ground. When the gods and demigods looked upon him, they saw that a hellhound as big as a rhino had their beloved hero pinned to the ground. The demigods were about to strike the beast when the Percy giggling and they looked closer to see that the hellhound was licking his face.
Percy was happy to be reunited with his hellhound, Mrs O'leary. He hasn't saw his pet since the end of the second titan war. She was licking his face and he couldn't help but giggle because it seems his hellhound missed him too. When he got back up all the demigods looked at him as if he was crazy except for his friends and most of the gods.
Percy and everyone else had a little more fun talking to their parents and just relaxing a little bit when Zeus clapped his hands and announced "It is time to go to Olympus to reward all of those who helped in this war." And with a strike of Zeus's lightning bolt, everyone was transported to the throne room of Olympus.
~-~-~Olympus, Throne Room~-~-~
When everyone appeared, the gods were already seated in their thrones, waiting for the demigods to recover from teleporting. When all the demigod stomachs were finally settled they all kneeled down to Zeus. "Rise," Zeus said "Because of the support the demigods in this war have given to us, I believe that they deserve to be rewarded. I think we will start with oman and greek campers first and end with the ten demigods that played major roles in this war. Sound good?"
With a nod of confirmation from the other gods Zeus began to speak again. "All demigods from now on will be able to eat as much godly food as they want and with the help of Athena, Hecate and, Hephaestus, we will have a gateway of sorts built so demigods can traverse between Camp Jupiter and Camp Half-Blood." With that all said and done the campers and legions moved to the back to allow the new heroes of Olympus to get rewarded. These new heroes were Jason, Piper, Leo, Thalia, Frank, Hazel, Reyna, Nico, Annabeth and, Percy.
"Heroes," Zeus boomed,"I, on the behalf of Olympus, thank you for defeating the Giants and Gaea. Because of this, we will reward you even more than what you've already been rewarded. I will start first. Jason Grace please step forward." As Jason stepped forward he kneeled as Zeus turned into Jupiter. "Rise my son. For the role you played in this war, you will be granted immortality and be promoted to a trainer at either camp. The immortality is optional."
Jason looked up towards his father and then back at his girlfriend, Piper, before asking,"Will the others be granted the choice of immortality as well?" When Jupiter nodded yes and Jason got a nod and a smile from Piper he turned and around and said,"Yes father, i would be honored." With that, Jupiter raised his bolt towards Jason and zapped him with godly energy. As the energy hit him he kneeled outta pain as the godly energy turned Jason's blood into ichor. When the process finished he was able to stand up once more and he bowed to his father one last time before he walked back to Piper, who gave him a kiss on the cheek, which made him blush.
"Piper, please step forward," Aphrodite excitedly exclaimed."Piper do you accept immortality? If you do, ou will also be promoted into a trainer for the two camps" When she nodded yes, the process to immortality was almost the exact same but instead of lightning that started it, it was a cloud of pink smoke.
This process was continued until it was Nico's turn to be rewarded. "My son, step forward will you" As soon as he kneeled, Hades walked up to his son. When he was in front of his son, Hades grabbed both sides of Nico's head and then started to say"My boy if you accept immortality you will be turned into my lieutenant and you will become the prince to the underworld and I will train you to become the strongest you will ever be. Do accept my offer?" As soon as Nico nodded his head skeleton hands embraced his legs and the shadows all converged towards him. Soon he was shrouded in shadow and black tendrils started to creep off of the shadow mass. A few minutes later and the shadows dispersed. Nico stood there in a trance like state but other then that he looked fine. With that it was Annabeth's turn to be rewarded.
"Annabeth, step forward." Athena said. Percy was nervous as his girlfriend stepped forward. He was afraid that she would choose immortality over him because even though he would be offered the same choice, he would turn it down and use it for the benefit of others. "Annabeth, your reward is being able to help me with projects I get assigned and you also get any projects that I'm not working on right now. So what do you say?"
Annabeth didn't even hesitate or look back at Percy, before she said, "I accept mother." A collective gasp went through out the room. Even Athena gasped. Everyone looked towards their hero to see his reaction. Everyone that looked, saw a sad smile on his face. As soon as he heard Athena's offer, he knew Annabeth would never turn that down. It finally seems like Athena got her wish of Percy not being with Annabeth.
After she got turned into a immortal, Annabeth walked back to stand in line next to Percy, not even giving him a glance cause she was filled with guilt, but it was too late to turn back now. "Percy, step forward my son," Poseidon boomed out. When he went to bow, Zeus spoke up "Perseus, you don't need to kneel to us. You have our respect." So with a nod of his head, he stood straight in the middle of the throne.
"Who believes that my son is undeserving?" Poseidon questioned. When no one raised their hands he continued. "My son, once more are we giving you the chance to become a god. Do you accept our offer?" Percy gave a slight smile before answering with "Even though it's an honor to be offered godhood again, I going to have to decline once more. Instead, I want a request swore on the River Styx." When Zeus gave a nod of his head Percy continued,"My request is to allow Hestia and Hades to have their thrones back on the council." When Zeus gave another nod of his head two thrones appeared. The first one was a pure black throne with skulls and gems decorating it that appeared next to Demeter's throne. The second one was a throne made of fire and gave off an aura of hope and was next to Poseidon's throne.
Hestia and Hades were shocked at what Percy requested for. Once they got over their shock they walked to their respected thrones with Hades giving a nod of his head and Hestia giving Percy a kiss on the cheek. Once they were seated in their new thrones, Percy asked if he could be excused. With a nod of the gods heads he started to leave. As he walked, the gods started to have a mind discussion with each other over how they could reward their hero even more then what he's already been rewarded with. That's when the thought of blessing him and becoming his patrons. When all but two agreed, the called Percy back.
"Perseus, we have decided to reward you a little more," spoke Zeus. Percy was about to protest but was stopped by Zeus continuing, "Twelve of us olympians would like to give you our full blessings and to become your patrons. Would you allow us to do this?" Percy was shocked. He didn't think he deserved to be blessed by most of the council but he didn't want to disrespect them by declining so he nodded his head yes. The gods smiled at his answer. "Good. Now, we will go one at a time cause we don't want to kill you by giving you all our blessing at once. So I'll start first. But a blessing hurts more than turning you into an immortal"
With that, Zeus raised a fully charged master bolt and threw it at Percy. As soon as it made contact, he started to scream in pain as his body accepted the power the master bolt was giving him. The pain spiked up even worse when the skin on his back started to bubble. It felt like something was trying to escape out of his back. When the pain stopped and everyone could see Percy again, another collective gasp went through the crowd of demigods.
What they saw was amazing. Percy was kneeling but there was a new addition on him. On his back, flared out, was a pair of pure black wings that looked impenetrable but super soft with a wingspan of 20ft. Before they could take in anything else, he was consumed by another cloud of power. This continued 10 more times as the blessings went: Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Hades, Hestia, Athena, Ares, Apollo, Artemis, Hermes and, Aphrodite.
Zeus gave him wings, made him resistant to lightning and, gave him access to the sky. Hera gave him an iron will, and control over his emotions. Poseidon gave him better control over water and gave him vapor travel. Demeter gave him control over plants. Hades gave him access to the underworld and control over the dead. Hestia gave him control over fire, being able to summon home cooked meals and, gave him flame travel. Athena gave him battle strategy and got rid of his ADHD. Ares lifted the curse he gave Percy and gave him the ability to easily learn and use different weapons and fighting styles. Apollo gave him healing powers, being able to use and play any musical instrument and made better at archery. Artemis made him partially immortal, made him better at hunting and, made him even better at archery. Hermes increased his reflexes sharper and faster and increased how fast he is. Aphrodite perfected his body, made him even hotter(he's now as good looking as a primordial), made Percy taller, and increased his muscle mass.
When Percy was done being blessed, every male in the room looked at him in respect, jealousy and, awe, and every female, goddess or demigoddess, looked at him with love and lust. Percy was wondering why he was getting all the looks. His confusion must've shown on his face because his father summoned an ice mirror in front of him. What Percy saw made him gasp. He saw someone he didn't recognize. He was now six inches taller, he wasn't wearing a shirt cause it ripped off him when he got his wings, his muscles were more defined and were bigger. And even though he hated to admit it, he had better looks than any god and titian he has ever seen. He could only compare himself to Gaea's beauty which was breathtaking. But the thing that surprised him the most was his eyes and and the coloration of his wings.
His eyes were still sea green but now his eyes had eleven different flecks of color in them with no whites. It looked like his eyes were the sea and different type of lanterns were flying through the sea. His wings had a similar look. His wings feathers were pitch black but small little portions of his feathers were different colors. So his wings consisted of twelve colors and so did his eyes. All in all he looked like a primordial angel.
When Percy stopped looking at his new appearance, he looked around to still see and loving and lustful looks he was still getting from the females when he remembered he still had no shirt on. He blushed and quickly wrapped his wings around his body like a blanket. The looks calmed down but they were still their. A few gods chuckled and summoned a shirt for him. As soon as he put it on, it became skin tight on his body. That was probably because of Aphrodite's blessing. He sighed as he unwrapped his wings from his body and folded them to his back.
"Thank you once more for your blessings, but I'm tired so I'm gonna head back to the camp. I'll be at camp if anyone needs me. Night" With that Percy left for the elevator that will bring him to the base of the Empire State Building. As he left, the women couldn't take their eyes off him. As soon as he stepped out of the throne room they all sighed. Then they all blushed. They didn't know what came over them. Then they started to fantasize of him. Zeus just shook his head as he zapped all the demigods to their camps and then flashed off himself to his palace. The rest of the gods followed his lead, flashing to their palaces.
