Perseus

Hello, my name is Perseus Jackson and you may not call me Percy unless I explicitly say so. I am the son of Neptune, the Roman God of the Sea. As a child, I was raised by Sally Jackson who is my mother until I was ten years old. On my tenth birthday, my birthday party was crashed by a hellhound. I remember the memory as if it was yesterday. I was celebrating with my birthday with my friends and family at my house. My mother made me a cake that was blue inside and outside because she knew it was my favorite. I was about to blow out my ten birthday candles when the hellhound attacked. It seemed like they appeared out of nowhere because I did not notice their presence until the entire room went crazy. Everyone began to scream and panic. Some individuals were running for the exit while others were jumping through the window. To be quite honest with you, it was pretty funny as I watched my friends and family go crazy. I had completely forgotten about the hellhound as I immersed myself in the reactions of my friends and family. It was funny until I realize that the hellhound was ignoring everyone else and coming directly for me. As it pressed towards me, I began to step back slowly. Each step that it took forward was another step that I took backwards.

"Percy!", my mother screamed as she moved towards me. As I observed my mother more closely, I realized that she showed no signs of fear. However, she wore a sad expression on her face. "Focus on the water, it shall save both of us my son. Follow your gut!", she added.

I did not understand what she meant by use the water but I followed nonetheless as my mother has never led me down the wrong road before. I closed my eyes and thought about water but nothing happened. I began to get anxious as I opened my eyes. A couple seconds later, I was pinned to the ground by the hellhound. The hellhound opened his mouth to end my life and I closed my eyes preparing for the impact but it never came. I opened my eyes to see my mother throwing anything she could find at the hellhound.

"Percy run!", she bellowed as she kept throwing objects at the beast. The beast was getting annoyed by my mother's action so he attacked her. He pinned her on the ground in the same positon as it had previously done to me but this time was different. It was different because the very thought of my mother being harmed triggered an impulsive need to protect her. It was at that point that I followed my gut as she had insisted before. I held out my hands similar to how a butterfly opens its wings and soon water began to flow from every direction. It was like there was a river in my apartment and my hands were the river mouths. As the water gathered at my fingertips, the hellhound noticed what was happening and attacked me once again.

I looked at the beast defiantly and screamed, "No one touches my mother". I clapped both of my hands together and the water rushed towards the hellhound. The water hit the hellhound with such force that it disappeared on impact. The only thing that was left in its absence was golden dust. The water disappeared and I rushed towards my mother to see if she was okay.

As I was inspecting her body for injuries, she smiled at me proudly before saying, "I knew that you could do it. You will be a great warrior one day Perseus, I believe in you".

"Thank you mom but what exactly did I do?", I asked curiously.

"You just successfully controlled your father's domain and killed your first monster my dear son", she replied happily. She stood up and dusted herself off. "You are the son of Neptune Perseus but now is not the time to talk. I must get you to the place that your father spoke off", she added.

She went into her room to get something but I was still processing the bombshell that was just dropped on me. I am the son of Neptune. I am a half – god and a son of one of the most powerful gods as well. I guess that in a sense I was not very surprised. I had always had an inclination to water especially sea water. I even remember the time when a class of fishes called me 'lord'. I thought I was just suffering from a loss of oxygen but apparently it really happened. My mom returned with two envelops and a sea green ball.

She stooped down on one knee so that she could look me in the eye. "I will always love you no matter what Perseus but it is time for you to become the hero that you were destined to be. In my hand, I have two envelopes and a transportation ball that your father left for this specific moment. One letter is for you and the other letter you will know what to do when you reach your destination. Do you understand what I have said so far?" she asked.

"Yes, I do", I replied.

"Good, now I want you to smash this ball at your feet when I say so and you will be on your way. I know everything must be confusing right now but it will make sense soon. I will contact you as soon as I can but until please remain safe and follow your gut instinct", she whispered as tears started to fall from her eyes. I immediately realized how hard this must be for her even though I did not fully understand what was happening.

I pulled my mom into a hug and whispered, "Don't worry about me mom. I do not know what exactly is happening but whatever it is I promise that I will be the best that I can be".

She wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "That is the least of my concerns Perseus, I know you will make me proud. She smiled after she finished speaking and I returned it wholeheartedly. She kissed my forehead and added, "Smash the ball when you are ready and be safe".

"I won't let you down mom and I love you", I replied as I smashed the ball.

Well that was my backstory and now it is time for me to catch you all up to date. After I smashed the ball, I reappeared in Lupa's wolf house. Lupa greeted me very harshly but I was strangely not afraid of her. She told me that my lack of fear was very impressive for my age and also unusual. Then she asked me why I was here and I gave her the other letter that my mother had given me. After she finished reading the paper, she gave me a pitiful look and began to explain her job. She told me about New Rome and the twelfth legion. She also told me that she would be giving the basic training and I would be on my way to New Rome. She told me to rest the night because I would have a hectic couple of weeks ahead of me.

Later that night

Later that night I opened the letter from my dad. When I opened the letter, I saw a pen with a Latin inscription that translated into Riptide. I took out the pen and began to read my dad's letter.

Dear Percy,

If you're reading this, then I guess that I am too late. I thought that I would be able to contact you personally when you were exposed to the godly world but alas I am too late. The purpose of this letter is to let you know that I have not forgotten about you. I may not be able to contact you or talk to you all the time because of divine rules but I am always watching over. At Camp Jupiter, you will experience hardships solely because you are my son. The Romans are not very fond of the sea and you will unfortunately bear the brunt of their dislike. I apologize for such a misfortune in advance but I know that you will overcome anything that constrains. After all, the sea cannot be constrained my son and I know that you will bring honor to my name. In this envelop, you will also find your birthday gift. I hope that you like it. Train hard and be honorable by son – Yours truly, Neptune.

I closed the heartfelt letter from my dad with newfound motivation and determination. 'I will not let you down father. I will bring honor to your name', I prayed silently.

Time skip: Two months later

Narrator

For the next two months, Percy trained ferociously under Lupa's guidance. She taught him the ways of Rome and how it operates. She told him what it meant to be a Roman and Percy took it all in. He was dedicated to bring honor to his father and his dedication was shown through his training. He practiced day and night with his sword and godly powers for two months. He was so dedicated that even Lupa was slightly impressed. However, Percy's time with Lupa was coming towards an end. It was time for Percy to go to Camp Jupiter. Lupa realizing this summoned Percy one day to talk to him.

"You have done well Perseus Jackson. You are on the path of a great Roman general if you keep this up. Who knows, you might even be my next Remus", Lupa said.

"Thank you my lady but surely you did not call me here to praise me", Percy replied sternly. Lupa looked at Percy from head to toe. She smiled inwardly as she saw the fine soldier he had morphed into in the timespan of two months. His body was more define and he was in tremendous shape. Even as a child, his body was that of a man. His face was very angular and his sea green eyes radiated power but demanded respect. They also possessed a pitch of rebellion but that was understandable as one cannot constrain the sea. The only thing that Lupa was dissatisfied with was Percy's refusal to comb his messy hair. Lupa had tried multiple times to get him to comb it but he refused on the basis that it was the only physical trait that he got from his mom and he would keep it. Lupa was brought out of her train of thought when Percy cleared his throat impatiently.

"Patience my young one, you must learn patience", Lupa reprimanded him.

"My apologies", Percy said.

"But you were right. I did not call you here to praise you. I summoned you here because it is time for you to go to Camp Jupiter. It is time for you to start building your legacy. As a son of Neptune, you will not be well liked at camp. You will most likely be placed in the fifth cohort because of this dislike as well. If you truly want to honor your father, then you must not let this hold you down. You must work hard and show everyone that you are worthy of being respected. Do you understand Perseus?" Lupa asked.

"Yes, I understand", Percy replied confidently.

"Good, I have one last thing to give you before you leave for camp. Your father has asked me to give you another sword as he has been following your training", Lupa said. Percy smiled inwardly as he heard those words. "He sees your potential to be one of the greatest swordsmen in history. I told of your inefficiency with a shield and recommend that you become a dual sword wielder to compensate", Lupa added. When Lupa was finished talking, she gave Percy a small box.

When Percy opened the box, he saw a golden ring with a sea green emerald within it. He placed the ring on his finger and looked to Lupa for instructions on how to use it.

"The sword has been specially made for you. Thus, if you will it to activate then it will", she said. Percy did as he was told and the sword activated. The sword was different from Riptide as it was silver instead of gold and it had a trident carved on the blade itself. Percy whispered a silent prayer of gratitude to his father.

"Thank you for everything you have done for me Lupa. I will not let your efforts be in vain", Percy said respectfully.

"Aut vincere aut mori", Lupa replied. Percy immediately knew what she said. She told him to 'Conquer or Die '.

Percy nodded in response and then embarked on his journey to Camp Jupiter.

Two Weeks Later…..

The past two weeks have been very hectic for Percy. He has fought a total of 10 hellhounds so far. On top of that, he lost all of his supplies during one of these fights. Not only was Percy tired but he was also starving. But all of his current troubles were about to come to an end. He was finally approaching his destination. He could feel it within his stomach. He was entering a dark tunnel and a sense of home was increasing as he walked forward.

Jason

Hello my name is Jason Grace. I am the son of Jupiter and Juno's champion. Yes, I know it's weird that I am her champion especially since everyone assumes that she hates all of Jupiter's children. But that is simply false information. She is pretty sweet once you get to know her. She rescued me from my mother's rage after my sister abandoned me. See my mother was an alcoholic and she physically abused me whenever she went on her rampages. My sister Thalia used to protect me from her rampages but one day she just disappeared without a trace.

She left me to the mercy of my dear mother. For one week straight, I bared the full force of my mother's rampages. Luckily, Juno came to my rescue after that horrendous week. She told me that I was the son of Jupiter and her step – son as a result. She told me that she was not angry at me for my birth because I am not to be blamed for my father's actions. She healed some of my scars as she started to tell me about my Roman heritage.

She told me how Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus. She spoke about them in a very honorable manner which made me aspire to be like them. She told that they were both sons of Mars and that they were both trained by Lupa. She said that this started a tradition which still exists as new legionnaires are still trained by Lupa today. June told me that she would be sending me to Lupa when she was finished talking to me. Juno then began to tell me about Camp Jupiter. She told me that it was a camp designated to protect and train the children of the Roman gods and descendants/ legacies. The campers within this camp are disciplined, formal and warlike just like Roman Gods. Juno said that I would learn more about Romans when I am training with Lupa but she just told me the basics.

Towards the end of our conversation, Juno asked me to be her adopted son and Champion. I was going to say yes because I really appreciate everything that she did for me. She cared for me and she was more of a motherly figure than my biological mother even though I just met her. However, before I could accept her offer she started to explain to me the reasoning behind her request. Juno said that she has never had a demigod child before as she is the Goddess of marriage. She explained how she never had the joy of demigods bringing honor to her name. She has watch demigods honor their parents for millennia and she craves such honor. Juno also said that she craved the bond that most demigods have with their godly parent and that's why she has gained the reputation of hating Jupiter's kids. She told me that she did not hate us but that she envied her husband and took out her anger on us.

As she was talking, I could not help but feel sorry for her. She had truly suffered much throughout her time as the queen of gods. I hugged her midsentence and said, "It's okay mom". She embraced me in a loving hug and thanked me for giving her the opportunity to be my mom. After Juno was finished embracing, she flashed us to the Wolf House. Lupa greeted us upon arrival. Lupa is a big red wolf with silver eyes. She is known as the Wolf Goddess and Guardian of Rome. Juno and Lupa had a private conversation. When their conversation was over, Juno came over to talked to me. She told that she would always watch over me and that it was time for me to begin my journey. Juno then kissed me on my forehead and flashed away.

For the next two months I trained with Lupa. She thought me the values of a true Roman soldier and she taught me everything I needed to know for survival through harsh examples. Although her lessons were harsh, they were necessary as I learned what I needed to learn. When the two months had passed, Lupa told me that it was time for me to go to Camp Jupiter. She told me that great things would be expected of me since I was the son of Jupiter and the champion of Juno. Lupa also told me that I have the potential to be her next Romulus if I played my cards right. This greatly encouraged as I had always dream to follow in the great Roman's footsteps since the very first time I heard about him from Juno. Lupa gave me a gift from Juno and then she sent me on my journey. I opened the gift before I left on my journey. My gift was a sword that could transform into a bracelet and shield that transformed into a watch. I silently thanked Juno as I left for Camp Jupiter.

It took me two weeks to arrive to Camp Jupiter. I would have been there sooner if I wasn't attacked by the manticore on my way here. My fight with the manticore was my first real monster fight. I thought I was good as a result of my training with Lupa but I was extremely wrong as I barely escaped that fight with my life. In the end, I was able to killed the monster at the last minute by summoning a lightning bolt. I got the horn of the manticore as a spoil of war as it was there after he disappeared. After the fight, I was extremely tired and injured but I managed to make it to the gates of Camp Jupiter before I passed out.

When I woke up, I was in the camp's infirmary. I looked around for someone but no one was around. I got up out of bed and decided to explore. When I opened the door, two guards were waiting for me. They were dressed in all gold armor from head to toe. The two guards were males and I still do not know their names to this day but they escorted me to the Senate Hall. In the senate Hall, I met the two current Praetors. The 1st Praetor's name was George. And he was a son of Mars. George was about 6'5 and he had an extremely built body. His eyes were as red as a flame and they seemed to instill fear. He had black hair and an angular face. The 2nd Praetor's name was Amanda and she was a daughter of Venus. She was one of the prettiest girls that I have ever met in my life. She had long, blond hair and dazzling blue eyes. She had a slim, tall, athletic body and an aura of seriousness. I told the Praetors my story and gave them the letters of recommendations that Lupa had presented me with. They praised me for being a son of Jupiter and told me that I would bring honor to the Twelfth Legion. They immediately placed me into the 1st cohort as they said I deserve to be in it. Amanda told me that she and George were in the first too and that it is the most honorable cohort. I was happy that I was placed in the 1st cohort but I did not like that I was placed in it solely based on my lineage. I knew at that point that I was going to prove to everyone that I was more than just a son of Jupiter.

George summoned the centurion of the of the 1st cohort and he came very quickly. The centurion of the first cohort was a stocky boy with dark black hair and red eyes like George. His name was Darrel and he is also a son of Mars. The praetors placed me in his care and sent us away. Me and Darrel immediately bonded and he became my personal trainer. He told me that he wanted to be my mentor because he knew that I would take over the camp eventually. He told me that it was my destiny and that he wanted the honor helping me to do so. Darrel introduced to the cohort later that evening and they all seemed pretty cool. I felt like I was at home when I was around them. I eventually met my now best friend, Frank Zhang. Frank is a son of Mars and a member of the 1st cohort. He was about my height and he was 12 years old just like me. He had dark black hair and red eyes. For the next two months, he was my training partner and we increasingly became closer. As two months passed, I got a dream from Juno that my life was about to change. She told me to prepare myself and I obeyed by training harder. I often wondered what was coming. I often wondered what could be so important that Juno contacted me. Whatever it is, I promise you that it will not prevent me from leading Romans into the next dynasty.

Lupa

When Percy left, I was left alone with my thoughts. I was thinking about Percy and Jason. Both demigods are extremely strong and they even have the potential to surpass Romulus and Remus. My only concern is that they are too much like their fathers. Jason seeks power and prestige whilst Percy seeks honor and glory. Jason will be starting at the top of the food chain while Percy will be starting at the bottom. Both demigods have something to prove. Both demigods have the motivation and determination to achieve their goals. Both demigods want to be the best. Stories like this only have two endings. Either they will unite and lead Rome to greatness or they will clash and lead Rome to its destruction. For Jupiter's sake, I hope they don't possess the stubbornness of their parents but only time will tell.
