Prologue: part 1

Percy pov:

I was upset yeah, but I knew I understood deep down why she did it, and I can't really complain I told her to accept, just because I said no doesn't take away her right to say yes, Right? But even with that it's a painful memory, happy thoughts man, think dam happy thoughts! You're on your way to see mom! Paul! Little Selina! Even while I scolded myself lightly I knew it was a lost cause my mind already slipping into the memory...

Flashback:

We had just defeated geae and we were heading back to the throne room, I wish I could say everyone made it but they didn't (sigh) frank didn't make it, it's a real loss I started to like the guy and I thought he was perfect for hazel and being one of the only people to know her past, she deserved it. Any way once we made it to the throne room we kneeled before the gods who were on their thrones, and by the looks of it Zeus was getting ready to give a speech, and I was not in the mood.

''heroes'' Zeus voice boomed out '' rise, to award you all on your great success on defeating geae we would like to offer you all a gift'' I knew what he was going to offer and I already knew my answer .

''first Nico Di Angelo would you accept the position of being an immortal general in our fathers army and live in the underworld forever?'' Zeus asked

You could see by the wide unbelieving eyes that Nico did not expect this just because he wasn't part of the ''seven'', but even I saw this coming.

''m…e I mean me but my lord I wasn't part of the seven!'' exclaimed Nico clearly exasperated.

''yes, yes do you accept?'' he asked clearly getting annoyed. Nico glanced at hazel and she gave him the thumbs up, so he turned to Zeus and said,

''Of course it would be a honor to live and work alongside my father '' he said. You could practically feel the happiness coming off of Hades like he got a new toy. Zeus looked contempt with the answer and turned his head in the direction of hazel.

''hazel lavchewitz (is that how you spell her last name) do you wish to be immortal and live by your brother and farther?'' Zeus asked her curiously. Hazel looked Zeus straight in the eye and replied

'' I'm honored but I believe there's someone waiting for me in Elysium'' while she said those last words she looked at Hades and he nodded sadly understanding.

Zeus proceeded to asking the others of the seven all accepted his offer with excitement and happiness. Eventually he got to me and boomed out I thought he was going to burst my eardrums, ''Persues Jackson, we offer you the option again to become one of us, a god!'' he thundered. (Always a drama quean) I looked him in the and answered while looking him dead in the eye ''I humbly refuse your generous gift for I believe the same reasons as before'' I said while walking back to stand by annabeth. Zeus sighed dejectedly but still he knew this is what I wanted. ''Annabeth Chase'' he called out next '' we offer you the same proposition as your friends, and if you accept your mother has already chosen your domain it will be the goddess of architecture, do you accept''. My heart was thundering loudly in my chest what will she do will she accept architecture was her passion and to top it off her fatal flaw was hubris. She faced the floor and asked ''may I think about the gift, Lord Zeus and return you a answer in five minutes?'' she asked shockingly, Zeus nodded showing he allowed it.

Annabeth turned around and headed for me and asked ''may I speak to you Percy for a second'' I nodded numbly I was for once tongue tied, but I knew I had to say the right thing just what was it. Once we were safely out of the throne room she turned to me and said the words that probably devastated me ''Percy… I really … I really want to say yes but... I don't... want to hurt you'' she said looking in my eyes, wow her eyes they showed that she was pleading for me to understand her decision and to accept it. I didn't repliy I just looked to a random fire remains of a god lings palace. I realized she wanted a answer so I looked her in the eye while putting my hands lightly o her shoulders and said, ''Annabeth Chase, I love you, yeah you keep me mortal and invincible, but I love you enough to let you go, and do what you really want to do and I know it's your dream but it's not mine and if you want to'' I said shakily ''who am I to stop you'' I said and placed a light kiss on her forehead, and gave her one really tight hug , ''go get-um annabeth great things better come out of you'' with one last squeeze I let go and said ''visit me some time it's not really polite to forget us mortals'' I said with a chuckle. She looked at me with gratitude and gave me a quick hug.

''now come on wise girl I think there's about to be a very, happy Athena and were being very, very rude keeping her and more importantly, Zeus waiting now that's just mean'' I said putting my hand on her shoulder and steered her in the direction of the throne room. Right before we entered she asked turning towards me,

''you sure about this you're not mad?''

''why would I be mad I'm happy, but this is just the type of life I couldn't even dream of living, no (I shook my head from side to side showing my exasperation)being a demigod, and training them, that's what I want to do'' I replied, putting a hint of finality in my voice. ''Now let's get you 'godess-ufied' '', we both laughed lightly at my comment.

We entered the throne room and I ushered annabeth towards the center, in front of Zeus, then she said the words that changed my life forever. ''I accept your gracious offer lord Zeus''

Flashback end:

I was on my way to my mom's on the Upper East Side, I really needed to be with family and spend some quality time and Apollo and Hermes cabin pulling pranks with the help of their fathers, don't count. I finally got there, I got out and paid the cab its fair and took my duffel bag and headed towards the entrance. Once I got inside I got in the elevator and pressed on the 6th floor and fidgeted on my feet and finally after what felt like an hour I got to the floor. I got out the elevator and the first thing that hit me was my mother's door on its hinges and a scream coming from the apartment. I dropped my bag to the side and whipped out riptide while bounding into the apartment. When I came into the living room I saw my mom my sister and Paul huddled in a corner while this shark-man thing towered over them laughing maniacally. In his ''triumph'' he didn't realize me come up behind him and put him in a headlock with riptide at his throat.

''who are you? Who sent you! Answer me'' he just laughed ''I am only the beginning there are more of us; you will not make it alive from this encounter Jackson! Lord Pontus will have your head!'' the shark-man thing said.

'' were the rest of the 'men' you talked about '' I demanded pulling at his hair causing him to scream in pain. He still didn't talk so I slammed him against the wall, my eyes piercing into his and started to squeeze the air out of him.

''ware...House #... 3 by the doc...Docks'' he choked out. Once I realized he wasn't lying I plunged riptide into his chest and he turned to yellow monster dust.

I turned around and checked on my family, by helping my mom and Paul to their feet. Once they were sitting I told them ''I'm going to the docks Paul in my duffel bag outside I keep a dagger for emergencies ,take it and arm yourself '' he nodded understandably, but it seems my mother would nothing of it.

''why are you going after them, please stay Percy you don't need to do this'' she exclaimed clearly not understanding why I need to rush into this fight.

''because mom they came to kill you and nobody try's to kill my family and gets away with it, don't worry I've handled worse'' I reassured my mother , I gave her a hug and a little kiss on the forehead for selina and said '' I'll come back, I always do''. I headed out the door and was out the lobby in minutes ad thought you've messed with the wrong guy and no monster will get the best of me…
