This is my first fanfic, and I have wanted to write it since I read the Last Olympian. I just couldn't stop thinking about it. I start out from the book, but only in the beginning, and mostly follow the book through the first few chapters. Hope you enjoy!

First I bowed to Zeus. Then I knelt at my father's feet.

"Rise, my son," Poseidon said.

I stood uneasily.

"A great hero must be rewarded," Poseidon said. "Is there anyone here who would deny that my son is deserving?"

I waited for someone to pipe up. The gods never agreed on anything, and many of them still didn't like me, but not a single one protested.

"The Council agrees," Zeus said. "Percy Jackson, you shall have one gift from the gods."

I hesitated. "Any gift?"

Zeus nodded grimly. "I know what you will ask. The greatest gift of all. Yes, if you want it, it shall be yours. The gods have not bestowed this gift on a mortal hero in many centuries, but, Perseus Jackson-if you wish it-you shall be made a god. Immortal. Undying. You shall serve as your father's lieutenant for all time."

I stared at him, stunned. "Um...a god?"

Zeus rolled his eyes. "A dimwitted god, apparently. But yes. With the consensus of the entire Council, I can make you immortal. Then I will have to put up with you forever."

"Hmm," Ares mused. "That means I can smash him to a pulp as often as I want, and he'll just keep coming back for more. I like this idea."

"I approve as well," Athena said, though she was looking at Annabeth.

(A/N I break off from the book here. All work from this point on is my own.)

I was afraid to glance back. Immortality would be awesome, not gonna lie, but what would Annabeth want? She had to come first in this situation.

I heard footsteps echoing, then she came up by my side. I looked at her, and was surprised to see her smiling.

"I want you to do this, Percy. You definitely deserve it," she said.

"What about you?" I asked.

"I'll still be here. We can still be together. The choice for you is whether you're willing to watch me age while you stay young."

I turned so I was facing her. "But what about you?"

She shook her head. "This isn't about me."

"No, Annabeth. I need to know what you want."

She sighed and glanced down. "If you want to know what I want, I want you to have this. I'll be fine as long as we can still be together."

I looked closely at her, trying to see whether she was being honest. But I didn't really know Annabeth to be the sacrificial type. If she wanted something else, she would let me know. She also wouldn't lie to me. Not with something as serious as this. I had to trust her.

I glanced back at my friends. They all nodded encouragingly. Thanks guys.

I turned back to Annabeth. "Are you sure?"

She nodded. "Positive."

I looked up at Zeus on his throne. "I accept your gift."

"Very well. Daughter of Athena, you may want to step back."

She squeezed my arm, then went back to stand by Tyson.

I took a deep breath, not sure that I was ready for this.

"Are you prepared, Son of Poseidon?"

I couldn't tell him I wasn't. "Yes."

Zeus nodded. "Very well. Demigods, close your eyes."

I suddenly felt very nervous. Couldn't back out now, though.

I watched the king of the gods raise his hand, then suddenly my vision was filled with light. It was overwhelming at first and I fell to my knees, shutting my eyes. It did nothing to affect the brightness.

Then I heard a girl's voice. Open your eyes, Perseus.

What? The word tore through my consciousness.

Open your eyes. The voice was soft.

I gritted my teeth and forced my eyes open. There was a rush of dizziness. It felt like whenever you're lying down for a long time, then you suddenly stand up. Then it faded and I was staring at white sand. I shakily pushed myself to my feet and saw Hestia standing in front of me.

"Lady Hestia," I said.

She smiled. "You don't have to put 'Lady' in front of my name anymore. You're a god."

I stared at her. "Already?"

"It really only takes a couple seconds. But you'll feel after effects. Don't worry; it's completely normal."

"None of this feels normal," I muttered, looking down. I felt way more powerful than I should've, like I could get rid of every single grain of sand by causing an earthquake. It almost scared me.

Her smile turned slightly sad. "You will become accustomed to it. Ready to go back?"

"I guess so."

She lifted her hand, and the light came back. I shut my eyes again, and it was immediately dark. I saw Annabeth sitting on the edge of the docks by the lake at Camp Half-Blood. She looked like she had been crying, and I tried to go to her, but I couldn't move.

Then, with a bright flash, it all disappeared.

I was back in front of the Olympians. I glanced down at my hands. I didn't physically feel any different, but I knew...I just knew that something was off. It didn't feel wrong, just…different, I guess.

I felt myself frowning and glanced up at my father. His expression scared me. He was looking at me like...like I wasn't human or something. And his gaze held something that maybe-just maybe-was awe.

Then Zeus spoke.

"Hail Perseus, Son of the Sea God."

So basically from this point on, all of the chapters are going to be scenes or events that happen while Percy is immortal. No guarantee they'll be in order. I won't be writing the war with Gaea...sorry. You'll see how I figure that out ;) thanks for reading and please review! Sayonara! -nekokenna
