Percy, But Not Percy.
A/N: Well, this is an experimental story, I'm just putting it out there. Please read the bottom note, it's important.
"Mom, I need help with some homework!". A seven-year old Percy Jackson hollered walking through the kitchen, waving a packet of papers around. His mom, Sally Jackson looked up from her book. A smile on her face.
"Of course Sweetie, now what subject do you need help with?". She asked, setting down her book. She made her way over to her son and bent down to speak with him.
"English Mom, but it's hard because of my dyslesic!". He exclaimed. He was growing increasingly frustrated at having to deal with his condition.
"It's dyslexia sweetie. But let's sit down over here to relax and look at what you got!". She secretly smiled at his mispronunciation of the word. She led him over to the kitchen table and sat down. He followed suit and set the packet of worksheets on the space in between him. He pointed to a problem, and then put his face in his hands.
"Let's see now." Sally states. She leaned over to look at the problem. She never got to it.
*knock* *knock* *knock*
"I wonder who that could be?". Sally said. She got up to answer the door, while Percy followed her. He grabbed on to her hand as she opened the door.
Outside was a man and woman. They looked a lot like Percy, with black hair. But they had ocean blue eyes whereas he had sea green. They looked like a married couple. About forty years old. Wearing T-shirts and swim suits. Percy looked into their eyes, and shrunk back with fear.
Their eyes projected a calm, powerful, in control aura. Like they knew exactly what would happen and they were one step ahead.
"Excuse me, are you Sally and Percy Jackson?". The man asked. One of his eyes was looking at his mother while the other was trained on him. It looked very creepy. His mom didn't seem to notice.
"Yeeesss.". She said in a very suspicious tone. "And who might you be?". A look of worry streaked across her face. But it was quickly replaced by a look of fear.
"Pardon my Husband, I go by Thallassa, this is my husband Pontus! Now, may we come in? We have much to discuss." In a chipper, upbeat tone.
His mom looked down at Percy, then back to the strange people, then to the floor. "Why of course you can come in! Percy, you don't mind going to your room right now would you?". She stood back and the two people came in. Percy ran off to his room, muttering something that sounded like "Smelly Gabe".
Meanwhile, Sally, 'Pontus', and 'Thalassa' were sitting around the kitchen table. In a heated, whispered conversation. Words such as "blessing", "camp", "group" and "demigod" were repeated very often.
At the end of the discussion, a teary eyed Sally Jackson called to her Son.
"Percy, pack your things, I-I-I-I give you my blessing!" She finished by breaking down into sobs.
That last part really confused Percy.
Poor poor Percy.
Many hours later, we find a teary-eyed, scared Percy sitting on a plane.
Now sitting on the seat in front of him was the woman who took him away. She had just revealed to him the whole story of demigods, gods, and monsters. Percy was now busy digesting the information.
"Does that mean God's not real?". Percy asked. He looked up at the woman wide-eyed.
"God is very much real hon!" The woman stated. She was gazing at Percy fondly, as if he was a distant memory.
"Are you Zeus?" Percy asked in the same tone. Thunder rumbled and Percy jumped. The woman smiled at this.
"Don't worry, the thunder does not know that we're here. And no hon, I am Thalassa, primordial goddess of the seas." She spoke of this with pride.
"What's a primordial? And if you are a goddess of the seas, why do we fly on a plane?". Percy asked again. Thalassa sighed, he was full of questions.
"We primordials came before the gods.". Thalassa sighed yet again. "We were overthrown when Kronos, who was our lord Ouranos's traitorous son sliced him into pieces. And we fly because it would give us more time to explain things to you.".
"Oh.". Was all Percy could say.
"We have a boy who's training at our base about your age who you could make friends with, while you are training, learning, and searching." Thalassa said in a motherly tone, a hint of excitement in that last part.
"Will I have to do homework?" Percy asked in an exasperated way.
Thalassa laughed and the sound echoed throughout the private jet. In the pilot seat, Pontus smiled at the sound of his wife's voice.
"No honey, there will be no homework at all."
A/N: well there, a first chapter out of many. And I know that I'm supposed to be working on other fics, so don't expect updates for a while. If there is an update, you got lucky. Sorry about short chapters, I typed this on my phone, it looks longer on those.
