AN : Hello , this is my first ever fanfiction , I always wanted to write one ever since i found out what fanfiction even was , so please review it would be amazing
Hestia tried often to listen to the mortals prayers .If there were any .Hestia was the Goddess of Hearth and Home, people don't pray much for warmth or housing. It was only the people without those things who often prayed to her. But one Night her mind was filled with a prayer that overtook her senses.it was a blood-curdling scream.Her mind was filled with shouts more accurately screams of that belonging to a child.She flashed quickly to the child's origin. He was in Manhattan , that she could sense .She took a look around her ,She was in an apartment that stank of beer and leftover takeout.She was disgusted , and it took alot for for her to feel that was.She always thought she was an especially calm and patient.
goddess.But,hearing the urgency behind the childs screaming was filling her mind with worries that she didn't even know she could have .She stepped over bottles of whiskey and beer,over clothes with stains in places unimaginable. She reached a room ,the bedroom where she saw a man hunched over a woman.she had several wounds across her chest and stomach ,
"please leave him alone , he….
…. My …….son "
She managed trying to move to shield what seemed like the child .Hestia felt a tremendous amount of respect for this young lady .She was so determined in protecting her child even though she was was well on her way to her brothers realm. She made a choice right there and then, she would protect this child no matter what. As she planned to reveal herself a flash of blue engulfed her eyes. She was shocked, what would he be doing here?It wasn unlike her brother to care for a simple boy .unless…
"No
No
NO!!!!! " Forgive me love , I was too late "He kept repeating when he reached the woman's body . Poseidon placed a hand over her head and whispered some ancient rites , ones that would guarantee her to elysium. His soft face hardened into one that looked murderous . He turned to the man and with one swift moment had decapitated him with his trident . It was almost surreal . Poseidon went over to the crying child , when he picked the boy up the crying stopped . The child seemed to almost recognize him . Hestia stepped out of the shadows and went over to her brother who was know kneeling with the boy in his arms . When Hestia touched his shoulder to comfort her brother he turned quickly on his feet " WHO.."? she sees his face instantly soften from the previous glare it wore . " Oh , Hestia what is..What are you doing here "? He asked Blatantly clearing his tears that were now dripping from his cheeks . " I was prayed to and I heard the voice , the child's screams, I came to see what was happening. I walked in when she got stabbed ". " I am sorry I could not save her brother …"No, Hestia " he sighed " it is not your fault, it's mine seering him and ". "You see I promised myself that I would never have another demigod , it pains me to see how much I ruin their lives before it even starts , how much I ruin their fate before they are alive ". "But, She " He pointed to the lady "She was something else , her smile was so radiant and she was so caring about everything , I couldn't help myself . I visited every day and took her to places she could never imagine , she had humble upbringings and could never afford to travel abroad , so I took her to Paris and she never stopped smiling " He says the tears pouring down his cheeks again ." For 3 months my life was amazing , But 3 months is far too long to neglect my duties Zeus became suspicious and accused me multiple times of bearing another child but i denied the accusations every time. When Sally told me she was pregnant I was overjoyed , never in my life had I been so happy "He sighed " but I knew Zeus would never allow it, especially with the prophecy ". " I tried to convince her to come under the seas, where I could protecther, but she denied. She said that she loved me but the child deserved to live a life where he belonged . "So every now and then I would check in on her and one day she's at this dump , I was disgusted, a woman like her deserves a million times better and when she told me the real reason she was there, I fell in love with her even more and life loved on and here I am clutching my child who happens to be covered in the blood of his mother " , he finishes " please Hestia , Do not inform Zeus of this , If he finds out he will kill him, and I cannot let that happen " he says as his face darkens ." Don't worry brother your secret is safe with me , but if he is to live, he needs some protection, take him under the seas , hide him and train him, So that If he is the one in the prophecy he will be ready " She says . " What is his full name " she asks her brother " Perseus Achilles Jackson " Poseidon simply states . Hestia was about to do something she never would even thought of , She places her hand over Perseus head and recites the following "I , Hestia Goddess of Hearth and home give my full blessing and protection on Perseus Achilles Jackson , Son of Poseidon , May my blessing help him in unimaginable ways " she says receiving and one handed hug from Poseidon ( Perseus was being held in his other hand ) " Thank you, you don't know how much this means to me Hestia " Poseidon says ." Just keep him safe and train him and all will be forgotten brother " Hestia says . She knew that the future would be filled with obstacles and challenges for this young infant , but she also knew that in all those challenges she would protect this child as would Poseidon . She swore it upon the river styx .
