The Claiming
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Rick Riordan has that pleasure.
Warning: this is really made up, maybe slight oocness
Before you read there are some things in here I need to explain!
1.) Most children of Poseidon lose their way or are slightly weak, especially in my opinion.
2.) The claiming of the sea is in my story what strong and sane sons of Poseidon get to do when the sea god thinks they are ready.
3.) This is almost right after the war, probably a few weeks when the gods are allowed to visit their children!
4.) Percy and Annabeth are not dating! I don't really like Percabeth, no offense to anyone who does its just my opinion.
5.) If Percy stays away from water for too long it weakens him, it didn't bother him when he was younger because he wasn't as connected as he is now, and it takes its toll to not be in the water.
/…./ is the voices of the sea calling Percy to be claimed.
##############################
Percy was weakening he could feel it in his resolve. His body was already about to answer the call to go to the sea, his father's domain. If this was how bad he was reacting how was he ever going to survive school?
/Come Percy Jackson, son of the sea. Come to us and join us this is your home and where your meant to be/
Percy shook his head rapidly he wouldn't give in to his desires so easily. He wouldn't just succumb to the water and stay in the water domain.
/You belong with the sea and to the sea you will always come, to the sea lord you will always answer! And he calls for you/
Finally Percy gave up, the voices were right, like they always have, he belonged to the sea which called for him to come his father called for him to come. And that's what he did he walked to the beach and into the tide going up to his knees before stopping two figures in front of him. The two were his half-brothers, Tyson the Cyclops and one of the best weapon makers they had, and Triton the prince and heir to the sea. Tyson grinned and gave him a gigantic hug while Triton glared. After the Cyclops put him down the demigod did a rare act of respect and kneeled to the heir of the sea his knees digging into the sand.
Triton's tail twitched slightly, he was obviously pleased by the respect obtained.
"Perseus Jackson we meet again. And in a claiming! Father will be here in a minute to do the ceremony!" Triton spoke slowly like he didn't want to say something he would regret.
"I came, but what is a claiming?" Percy requested deciding it was a good idea to stay respectful. This was he instinct he had, he could disobey and annoy any other god or person (beside his mother) but he always would respect the lords of the sea.
"The Sea Claiming is a very different thing!" a more powerful voice spoke from behind making them turn and bow to their father.
"Haven't you already claimed me father?" Percy asked gently making Triton inwardly promise not to let anyone hurt his brother mentally, he had no doubt that Percy could handle himself physically.
"That was to the gods and the camp, but now the sea is going to fully claim you, now be quiet," Poseidon shushed. He then pointed his trident at the water and from it a few gifts could be viewed but until they came to the surface they didn't have a definite name.
The fist was a beautiful necklace that was clearly made from some of the nicest things on the seafloor his father put it over his head and let it fall gently onto his neck and chest. The necklace had a silver coral chain that was smoothed over so it didn't scratch him and on it was a bunch of sea emeralds and pearls but what caught the attention of anyone and the light itself was the trident hanging from the coral as a pendant made of something so beautiful it stole the brightness of Apollo. The pendant then started to glow, forcing the demigod to sit as the glow move to envelop his legs and when the glow faded away instead of legs there was a tail. His tail was a turquoise color that seemed to shimmer even more in the sun then his necklace.
"That necklace will allow you to walk on land with legs, and strengthen your ties to the sea. To have legs think of them and it is the same way for your tail," the sea god explained.
The next gift caught Percy's breath even more than the first. It was a crown made of the same things as the necklace except there was no pendant, just a lot of jewels. Triton gently placed it on his head making it press against his bangs saying, "This is to show anyone with any relation to us who you are, a prince of the sea. It will also keep your powers in check as it grows!"
The last two things were a bit different. First Tyson once again gave him a shield/watch but this one was blue and green with silver going through it. After Poseidon lifted his trident and with it another came from the waves. This trident was silver and reflected the waves and water on its surface.
"This is the final gift of this ceremony. Most of my children have not gone through this because they could not begin to keep this under control, but it calls for you Percy! Name it and take another step towards your ultimate powers!" the sea god continued. Percy gently grasped it and it pulsed making the waves rise slightly.
"Tsunami," he whispered.
"What?" Triton asked.
"Tsunami," Percy called out making his new item glow more and letting the waves rise higher beating against the beach even harder.
"My son do you accept your position as the prince of the sea, only after Triton and I? Are you ready to take responsibility of your powers even more?" Poseidon asked gently.
"Yes father!" Percy said softly.
