So this is gonna be a typical 'reading the books fic', but it's gonna be about BOO so that's new. Why, you may ask? Because the Nico+Reyna+Hedge quest is to die for, and the Pipabeth scene in Sparta is also pretty great and both deserve to be appreciated. Never done this before, so it's gonna be bad, but like ignore all of that and it'll be great haha
Anyways, classic reading the books intro, I choose you!
EDIT: decided to add in the rest of the camps because they're important too
DISCLAIMER: This is a fanfiction using characters from the series Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan. I do not own anything in this, and I did not write this for monetary benefit, only my own personal enjoyment.
8 century BC:
The gods were sitting on Mount Olympus. They had just finished fighting the Giant war, and decided they had earned some relaxing, for at least a few centuries.
"Good thing that the giants are never going to rise again," said Demeter. "That was hard." A chuckle sounded from the shadows in the corner of the throne room. All the gods, startled, drew their weapons.]
"Show yourself!" demanded Zeus.
Three old ladies stepped forward. The fates.
"You say that the giants will never rise again," the one on the right, Clotho, rasped.
"This is not true," said the Lachesis.
"Thousands of years from now, the giant war will be fought again, by the greatest heroes known to humanity," said Atropos.
"Whoa whoa whoa," yelled Heracles. "I thought I was the greatest hero known to mankind!"
"Humanity" coughed Artemis.
"Fine, humanity."
"Well I thought I was the best," said Perseus.
"No I" said Bellerophon.
"No I" Said Theseus
"Shut up!" yelled Ares. "I want to hear about the war!"
"None of you are the greatest," said the fates. "Tis these heroes, who did deeds even the gods themselves could not do. But Ares, your wish will be granted" Outraged, all the gods yelled and strode angrily towards the fates, but with a wink they disappeared in a flash of golden light, leaving only the words 'learn' echoing around the room. Confusedly the gods looked around, until a second flash of light appeared in the air.
A group of teenagers fell out of it and landed in a pile on the ground. With a lot of muttering and cursing, they untangled themselves. When they saw where they were, there were gasps.
"Explain yourselves! Who are you!" boomed Zeus. A letter appeared. Athena picked it up and read it aloud. Gods and Demigods, We have called heroes from the future of the time of the second giant war to explain the hardships demigods face and to answer the argument over which heroes are the greatest, and also to share experiences between the demigods and have you all understand each other better. Demigods from the future, please introduce yourself, stating your godly parent and whichever titles you wish.
The gods looked expectantly at the group. After some hesitation and glares at each other - "you go first!" "no you!", a boy with dark hair and sea-green eyes stepped forward.
"My name is Percy Jackson," he said, "son of Poseidon." Poseidon looked at his son, and could see the family resemblance.
"Annabeth Chase, Daughter of Athena." The gods looked confused over how a maiden goddess could have children, but after a sharp glare from Annabeth they chose not to comment.
"Piper McLean, Daughter of Aphrodite." Aphrodite smiled sweetly at her daughter. She hadn't too many children currently, and having a daughter be one of the most powerful heroes was nice.
"Nico Di Angelo, son of Hades."
"Waddup gods, it's me, Leo Valdez, son of Hephaestus, fire-user, commander of the Argo 2, and the super-sized mcshiz-" He was cut off by a sharp slap upside the head from Piper.
"Relevant titles, please."
"Beauty Queen, everything about me is relevant!" The two would have bickered longer, but instead a boy with blonde hair stepped forward.
"I'm Jason Grace, son of Jupiter." At this many were confused. Who is Jupiter? A minor god o something?
Sensing their confusion, Jason said, "Jupiter is an alter ego of Zeus - after Greece, there was another empire named Rome that adopted the Greek gods, and so in the future the gods have two personalities, greek and roman, and there are greek and roman demigods."
"Hazel Levesque, daughter of Pluto, Roman version of Hades."
"Frank Zhang, son of Mars, Roman version of Ares."
"Thalia (i don't use my last name neither should you), Jason is my little bro, daughter of Zeus, Lieutenant of Artemis." Artemis looked at her future lieutenant, and deemed her worthy.
[insert introductions of the rest of CHB and CJ campers here because I can't introduce them all]
"Reyna, also no last name, daughter of Bellona (another Roman goddess of war), Praetor of the twelfth Legion." At this, the gods were again confused. What's a Praetor? Reyna explained that it was like their leader. After the introductions were all done, there was an awkward silence. No one knew what they should do now. A golden flash, and a book and a note fell to the ground. The book was called Blood of Olympus, and the note read, Here is the book that chronicles the giant war. Read it, and understand. Future demigods, do not worry. There will be no consequences of the time travel.
Apollo shrugged. "Guess we've got to read now. I'll go first," he said. He picked up the book and opened to the first chapter. "Chapter one…"
So like I'm relatively new at writing so um feedback would be appreciated haha anyways the next chapter should be soon because I'm off for summer break and have nothing to do for a while. Short because it's an intro, i hope.
