Chapter 1
It's near the end of the Giant war. Many campers have been defeated and lie broken and bruised upon the bloody ground.
Call it a stroke of luck, or perhaps the fates felt bad for all they've done to the Seven with Nico and Reyna. But they all survived.
Throughout the battle the gods had battled with their children, Zeus fought with Jason killing monsters with Bolts of Lightning and sword slashes, Hades and Nico battled calling forth legions of undead reaping souls with their blades of stygian iron. Hephaestus and Leo were flaming balls of pure terror as they burned their way through hordes of the monsters, Aphrodite and Piper Charmspeaking together keeping the monsters distracted and turning the monsters away from campers who were wounded so they could be taken to safety and healed. Athena and Annabeth were devastating in their attacks as spear was joined with dagger driving any and all enemies away with extreme distaste.
Apollo and will where firing arrows killing monsters with every shot, and healing campers in between their shots, whilst Artemis and Thalia fired with deadly accuracy destroying the monsters in showers of golden dust. Hermes was in laser mode with the Connor and Travis protecting Apollo and Artemis from any monsters foolish enough to get close. Dionysus was with his pollux turning monsters into dolphins, or insane while bashing in heads with his thyrsus. Demeter was with Katie growing plants entrapping monsters in tendrils, and roots of trees and vine.
Even Hestia did her part protecting the Seven with blasts of fire to any monster trying to sneak up on them. As well as Bellona who showed up and fought beside Reyna. They Romans and Greeks had come together in the end once the Parthenon had showed up ending the fight. They worked together protecting each other's back and keeping the other alive. While Lupa and Chiron worked together as a duo of death.
But by far the most feared and impressive duo was Percy and Poseidon. A hurricane surrounded them both as the very ground shook keeping Gaia from rising, while sword and trident weaved cruel arcs of destruction that if watched by someone from the outside they would describe it as terribly beautiful, a dance of two in pure tandem with the other. They crashed from monster to monster, giant to giant destroying all in their path. No arrows could pass through the storm around them and no monster made it out once inside.
After grueling hours of battle it ended. They giants were all dead. Gaia had been put to sleep permanently. Zeus glanced around tiredly. "Everyone but the seven, Nico and Reyna will sent to camp half-blood to rest and heal. The rest of us will all go to Olympus. There are some things we must discuss." With a wave of the gods hands the Demi gods were teleported to camp. Then with a look around the field Zeus signaled each god teleporting their children with them.
Zeus and Jason gone in a flash of lightening, Hades and Nico disappeared into the shadows, Poseidon and Percy blown away in a breeze of the sea, the rest all teleporting out and away to mount Olympus.
When everyone had arrived and the demi gods had assembled themselves in front of the thrones Zeus spoke.
"The first order of business is this. I'm sorry. I let my pride get the best of me and it almost destroyed us. Do not expect to be hearing that again." He said pointedly looking at the other gods. Most of whom were shocked he'd even apologized.
With a sigh he continued. "Now for our next order, thanking our young demi god children for all their work and suffering. First I must say this. You will each get one wish and we shall grant it. But know this each of you will become gods. The fates have decreed it must be so for in several decades maybe even a century another evil will arise that only you can destroy. Ancient rules will be re-written and the age shall change such as never before. With that in mind proceed with your requests."
Everyone was stunned into silence as Annabeth fell into Percy's side cursing her fate. Hoping for once her and her Seaweed brain could live in peace and happiness.
The first to make their wish was Jason and Piper, "Father we would like the camps to be combined with four leaders, Two Greek, and two Roman."
Zeus grimaced but spoke "If this is your wish then it shall be so. Hermes deliver the news to the demi gods at camp. And expand the boundaries of the magical border." With a flash Hermes was gone.
Next forward was Frank and Hazel "Although we know that we shall be immortalized we would like nothing better than for our curses to be removed." Hades and Ares both stood reaching forth a hand their curse was removed.
Leo began to get impatient and so strode forward bowing to the gods he spoke "My only wish is for Calypso to be released" Hephaestus with a smirk looked to Zeus who nodded and with a wave of his hand Calypso appeared beside Leo. Stunned at first she looked around. Then seeing Leo she hugged him kissing him fiercely then the both stepped back into line holding hands.
Nico and Reyna took a step forward bowing to Hades and the gods. The two had become close in their love for someone who was already taken by another. Reyna with Jason and Nico with Percy. As they traveled and she protected him and him her they became close slowly falling in love with the other. Admitting this while fighting in the final battle. "Father we would like⦠well I ask to be respected at the camps. No longer feared. I hate being an outsider. I wish to stay at camp. And Reyna would like Scorpio to be resurrected."
Hades smiled fondly at his son, with a nod of his head the Pegasus appeared next to Reyna. With a smile she kissed Nico on the cheek grabbing the reins of her faithful steed the stepped back into line.
Finally Percy and Annabeth stepped forward. But neither bowed. They simply looked at their parents and nodded. Zeus frowned at this but said nothing. He could understand their hostility.
"Father we understand that we must become gods, and we shall go with it. But we have some conditions."
At this Zeus's eyebrows raised as he looked down at the two greatest demi gods of the past few centuries. "All right speak son of Posiedon.
Annabeth took up here. "First we ask that each of us are givin time to live normal lives. Free of monsters and quests. Just living together in the mortal world. We want it all though. Money to live off of. The College we want. The Job we dream of, a home. And so forth. Wherever we want."
Percy began "Second we want permanent seats for Hades and Hestia at the council, as well as a promise that you will spend time with your children. At least once a month."
At this Zeus cut in. "Children we would but the ancient laws forbid it. So this must be chang-"
But he was cut off as in walked three ancient beings. Feared by everyone in the room, god and demi god alike, "the Ancient Laws shall be rewritten to allow this request."
With that the turned around a left. As the room fell silent from their words. Zeus gulped "continue on then young demi gods, so far both will be granted."
"Lastly we ask for these two things. For permission for any of us who wish to marry with no hindrance from any of the gods or our parents, and to bless our parents with a great job or chance." This was spoken by Annabeth with a pointed look at her mother, Hera, and Aphrodite.
"Though you ask for a lot all this shall be granted to you my son" Posiedon spoke before Zeus could respond. But Zeus just nodded. Then spoke "You shall have 20 years to do as you wish with your lives before you must become gods. Is that understood?"
Each of the demi gods nodded and asked for a moment to talk amongst themselves.
Percy and Jason then stepped forward and spoke, "Father, Uncle we all wish to be married. Me and Annabeth, Jason and Piper, Leo and Calypso, Frank and Hazel and Lastly Nico and Reyna. Percy, Annabeth, Piper and I all wish to live close by each other in California on the beach."
At this Jason took over, "We wish to attend University of California, I will major in meteorology, Piper in Beauty school, Percy in marine biology, and Annabeth in Architecture."
"Leo and Calypso would like to have a shop together in Portland, Oregon, Nico, Reyna, Frank and Hazel all wish to stay at camp for right now." Percy ended looking hopefully up at the gods and his father.
Zeus looked mildly pleased with this news. "So be it. Frank and Reyna since you are staying you will be the Roman leaders of the four, Nico you shall be the other and you may choose your counterpart when you arrive at camp. There will be a group wedding for all of you in three weeks' time so be prepared." With a wave of his hand they disappeared.
Hephaestus spoke next "Leo you shall have a shop to rival all shops and plenty of business for you both." With that he smiled at his child and waved them away disappearing in a flash to go build their dream home and Shop.
Finally Zeus and Aphrodite smiled at their children as Zeus responded, "Here are these cards. They have no limit. When you find the exact spot you want your house IM Hephaestus, he will arrive and you can describe your house how many rooms and everything else you want, it will be built while you go shopping for all your furniture and such." Jason received a card from his father, It was black with a lightning bolt shooting across the front, Piper receive hers from her mother, it was Pink with a dove on the front.
At this Zeus waved his hand sending the couple to find the perfect spot.
Posiedon then stood as did Athena and they came and embraced their children. "My boy I'm so proud of you. Words cannot express how I feel right now. You shall have all you wish for and more."
"Agreed, and Percy I approve of you and my daughter. You have my full blessing. After you pick the spot for your house IM me and I will design it myself for you after you give me the amount of rooms and extra things you want. They you two can go and get what you need for your house."
At this Poseidon gave Percy a Sea Green card with a golden trident on it, while Annabeth received a Pure White card with a picture of Olympus as it had been redesigned by Annabeth from Athena. They smiled at their children both waving their hands sending them to join Jason and Piper in picking a place for their house.
"Apollo go to Hecate and ask her to place a spell on all of them the mask them from monsters." In a flash Apollo disappeared to do his father's bidding.
"They had better rest up. They have 100 years. Then who knows what'll happen." Posiedon spoke in a grave voice.
