In Montauk, sat a little boy crying for his mother life. He had just fought the Minotaur.
Flashback
A little boy and his mother were playing around at the beach, happily, escaping from the little boy's stepfather who abused them. All of a sudden, they heard a roar. His mother looked at him with fear in her eyes. "Percy. Please be careful. You are special. I love you. Please remember that." The little boy's mother said. He looked at her in confusion, not understanding what she meant. His mother gave him a sad smile, right before a half bull half man came. The bull ran towards them, "Percy! Leap to the right or left when the Minotaur tries to get you!" She said. The little boy nodded, and his mother gave him a sad smile.
As soon as the Minotaur was 1 foot away, Percy leaped to the right. His mother hadn't been so lucky. The Minotaur grabbed his mother by her neck and started strangling her. Percy hit the Minotaur with his fists, but the Minotaur ignored him. His mother locked eyes with him and gave him one, sad smile, before her eyes rolled over and she stopped kicking and fighting.
The Minotaur dropped her like a rag doll and looked at Percy. The Minotaur roared and got ready to charge. Percy looked at his mother again, realizing that the Minotaur killed his mother. Percy became furious, and looked at the Minotaur for vengence. Percy started glowing a sea green aura, and he felt adrenaline rush through him. He felt more powerful than he just did seconds ago.
The Minotaur made the mistake of charging. Percy leaped to the side and felt a familiar tug in his stomach. He felt something push him up, and he looked down see it was the water. Percy leaped to the Minotaur's head, and started to grab his horns. He started to feel that the right one was about to snap. Suddenly the Minotaur charged at nothing, and stopped a few seconds later. This caused Percy to go foward, and fall. In the process he took out the right horn but he grazed his stomach with the left one.
The Minotaur roared angrily, and charged at Percy again. Percy stood up and buried the horn in the Minotaur's stomach. The Minotaur exploded into gold dust. Percy suddenly started to register the pain in his stomach. He howled painfully, and then an idea hit him. He crawled to the ocean and stuck his hand out. Soon the gash he had in his stomach started to close, but stayed as a scar. He crawled back to his mother and started to cry.
Flashback End
Suddenly, the sky started to cloud. The ocean sent violent waves. The dark was concealing them. A man flew down from the sky, a mean walked out of the ocean, and another man walked out of the shadows. The man that walked out of the ocean bent down next to Percy. "Percy, I am your father Posiedon. These are my brothers. Hades," He pointed to the on that walked out of the shadows, "and Zeus." He pointed to the one that flew down from the sky.
Young Percy hugged his father, crying into his chiton. "Brothers. We have to keep him. He is very powerful. He might be the one of The Great Prophecy." Posiedon explained to his brothers. "But brother, he might destroy Olympus like it says in the Prophecy." Zeus explained. "How about if the council decides." Hades suggested, looking at the little boy. He might hate demigods, but this one was more god like than mortal like. He radiated more power than the others, and it looked like he didn't fear much death. "He is 3 years old. We can train him to be different. We can train him to respect us. He can also be the Saviour of Olympus." Posiedon suggested. Zeus sighed. Percy ran to Hades, and hugged him too. "Well looks like Perseus isn't afraid of Death." Zeus joked. Hades knew that most demigods were afraid of him, they normally ran away.
But this one is the first that hugged him. He ran over to Zeus, and hugged him too. "Looks like young Perseus isn't afraid of many things." Zeus said, smiling down at him. Zeus hardly smiles, yet this one was brave. He liked him.
"Let us take him to Olympus." Posiedon said, smiling at his brave son. Zeus nodded and handed Percy over to Posiedon, where they evaporated and went to Olympus. Zeus flew back up to the sky, and Hades shadow traveled.
"Hermes." Zeus called. "Yes Zeus." Hermes appeared out of light. "Get all of the Olympians and Hestia. Bring them here for a meeting." Hermes vanished in light, and slowly the Olympians started to appear. Percy took his father's hand. Apollo was the first, and he saw Percy. "Who is this?" Apollo asked to Posiedon, smiling at the little kid who was smiling back. "Percy." Posiedon replied smiling. Apollo kneeled down and hugged Percy. "He's a cute one. Yet powerful too." He said, still hugging. "One day, I can teach you archery and how to drive my car." Apollo whispered in Percy's ear. Percy smiled and hugged him tighter.
They pulled away after a while, after more Olympians started to appear. Artemis stepped up to Posiedon, seeing the little boy in his arms. Artemis despised boys but looked at this little one. He meant no harm and she could see it, and started to look at Percy's memories. She saw that Percy and his mother were abused, and she had gained some respect for him.
Percy looked at Artemis who was standing in front of him, and held out his arms for her to hug him. He flashed her a cute smile, and Artemis hesitated for a second. She decided to give in after a while, deciding that the boy will do no harm to her. He squeezed her then let go, smiling yet again. Artemis smiled back at him, then turned to her throne.
"Olympians." Zeus bellowed, quieting everyone. "We are gathered here because Posiedon has had a son. He had just defeated the Minotaur, and is very powerful. He might be the one of The Great Prophecy, but he might destroy or might save Olympus." Zeus said, looking at everyone of them. Zeus was going to vote yes to keep young Perseus since he has been through a lot of stress. Though he might destroy Olympus, they can still train him. "We have options. We can train him to respect Olympus and make him swear on the River Styx to protect Olympus, and train him with the most powerful demigods in the world." He said, trying to get everyone to vote yest to keep yound Perseus.
"All in favor to keep Perseus?" Everyone but Dionysus raised their hands. Everyone glared at Dionysus, for trying to kill a young demigod who has done no harm to Olympus. Percy ran to demeter and asked very loudly, "Do you have ceweal?" Everyone laughed but Demeter put him on her lap, and gave him cereal. (Coco Puffs.) For the rest of the meeting they talked about what to do with Percy. "We should train him with fallen heroes in Elysium." Hades said, standing up from his throne. "He could be the greatest demigod ever. He could be a protector of Olympus." He finished. Everyone looked at him in agreement. "What if he doesn't protect Olympus?" Dionysus asked, of coursed bored out of his mind in this meeting. "We could make him swear on the River Styx." Zeus suggested. Some people looked at him shocked, Percy didn't know what the River Styx was, so he was confused. "We could. We can explain it to him when he is older. I know that he will protect it with his heart and will do anything to defend it, whether he kills himself or not. His fatal flaw is loyalty." Athena said.
"All in favor for Percy to vote on the River Styx to protect Olympus no matter what, and never betray us?" Zeus asked, his face a bit happy because he keep his nephew. Every one raised their hands up, all looking at Percy. Percy shifted in Demeter's lap a little embarresed since he didn't know why they were all looking at him. "Percy, repeat after me." Demeter said, looking at him. So far Percy loved Demeter as a mom. "I swear" Demeter started, "I swear"
"On the"
"On the"
"River Styx"
"Rivew Sticks" Everyone chuckled at Percy at that, since he couldn't really say many things.
"River Styx." Demeter reapeted and smiled at him, trying to make him say it correctly. Athena concentrated hard on Percy and helped him out. "I swear on the River Styx to defend Olympus no matter what." Athena said, clear, "I swear on the River Styx to defend Olympus no matter what." Percy repeated, this time with no grammar errors which was unlike a 3 year old, and everybody looked at Athena and smiled at her gratefully.
"It will be best if we bless him with our powers." Zeus suggested out of the blue which was unlike him, he never does anything for kids. "Give him a home. On Olympus. He could be homeschooled, he could travel to the Underworld to learn the ways of great heroes, go to Posiedon's Palace and he could learn from Triton." Zeus said staring at Percy, the ends of his mouth twitching from trying to hide a smile.
"Are you sure?" Hermes asked, seeing if he thought twice about it. "Yes." Zeus said, still staring at Percy. Percy felt the stare and turned to Zeus, and he showed him a smile that showed him trust, faithfulness, happiness, joy, etc. Zeus couldn't resist the smile anymore and smiled so big that everyone was shocked to see him with the smile, since this was the third time he flashed that smile in his whole life, so this must be a pretty big deal.
"I, Zeus, King of the Gods, bless Perseus Jackson with my powers."
"I, Hades, King of the Underworld, bless Persues Jackson with my powers." Everyone was smiling at him, and he smiled a very happy smile and that just made Artemis crack. "I shall become his Patron." She blurted, then looked at Zeus for approvel. "Very well." Zeus said, calm on the outside yet happy on the inside. "I, Artemis, shall be Perseus Jackson's Patron." She said smiling at him, glad that she made the choice before anyone else. "I don't need to bless him. If I start home schooling him now, then he will be very smart when it comes to The Great Prochecy." Athena proposed. Zeus nodded, and he was grateful again, this toddler will become the greatest demigod of all time.
"Anyone else want to bless him?" Zeus asked, looking at the other Olympians. "I, Aphrodite, Godess of Love, bless Perseus Jackson with handsomeness." Aphrodite said. She didn't want this little hero being ugly, and she sensed that many girls will like him when he grows up. "Artemis and I could teach him archery." Apollo proposed. "But wouldn't he learn that in Elysium?" Hades asked. He wanted Percy to become Prince of the Underworld, he believes that he will grow up confident, a leader, and determined. That's what he needs in a Prince. "Whenever he comes back to Olympus we could train him." Artemis said.
"We could also teach him to master his powers and manipulate the Mist." Hestia said. Zeus nodded as well as the others. "We can make him a throne here. I believe that he will be in the solstice's." Posiedon spoke. "All in favor of creating a throne for Perseus?"
Athena, Zeus, Apollo, Artemis, Demeter, Hestia, Posiedon, Hermes, and Hades all voted yes. "Very well." Zeus snapped his fingers and a throne appeared next to Apollo, and his thron was ocean blue with lightning bolts and skulls on the side. Demeter grabbed Percy an put him on the throne, and he loved it. It was the most comftorable thing he had ever sat on. He had a chiton on, greek sandals, and a crown made of leaves just like the rest.
Zeus turned to Percy and smiled. "You can call us all Dad, or Mom." He said. Everyone smiled and Percy finally found his family.
"Now, when shall we start?" Zeus asked smiling.
I hope you guys like it. It took me most of my day to make this, I really like it and I have a passion for making it, and I believe it's going to be different yet very good.
