Olympus was in a state of panic. The gods had recently learned that the Hero of Olympus had gone missing, so all of them had rounded up search parties and were scouring their domains all around the world in the hopes of finding him
Well, all but two goddesses.
Athena, goddess of wisdom and battle strategy, sat on her throne in the throne room of the gods as she watched the rest of Olympus in it's amusing state of panic. If they had paid any attention, they would know that she had sent him on a quest to prove his worth to her for her daughters hand in marriage. Despite the fact that the boy had won two wars for them, she still thought it wasn't enough.
So, she gave him the quest of learning archery; something that was practically impossible for children of Poseidon - bar Orion - to learn. Oh, and he had to hold up the sky for six months while Atlas was chained just out of his reach.
Poor boy.
Meanwhile, in the Alaskan Wild...
Percy P.O.V
Most of my friends have asked me the question, what does it take to be a hero? The simple answer is telling them don't even ask; you don't want to know, but the truth is that the pride I get from saving those I care for is unparalleled. I don't like to show it, though; I don't want to be like my half-brother Orion, or that b****** of a minor god Heracles.
The things I know for sure are that there are four people who held a piece of my heart, but only two are still alive - after all, the fates have a way of royally f****** up my life. It appears messing with my life is one of their favorite past times (cue sardonic smile).
When Bianca and Zoe died, a part of me died with them. It still hurts me to know that I could have helped them.
I really wish the fates would go easy on me.
I really had to let my mind wander to find out how I could make a bow that is fit for a child of the sea.
So, before I left, I did a bit of research on the art of making a bow, as well as on foraging in a few books on hunting.
Lucky for me, I got them all in Ancient Greek. That makes it a bit easier to read.
Following the instructions that all of them made (they had varying opinions, after all, so I decided that to start with I'd just do what they all agreed on) I found a nice clearing to meditate.
The afore-mentioned clearing I was currently camped in was good on on all sides. I had made a wall of earth surround it before getting into a meditative stance and meditating to gain complete control of my ADHD.
What put a real damper on my mood was that I would have to work on my dyslexia at some point, and I really didn't give a damn.
As to when I'd start on that - well, all I knew was that it would have to be before I moved camp.
An hour soon passes and I began reading the book that specialized in bow making. It also said how to make arrows and a quiver, as well as different designs.
It all looked very boring.
Nonetheless, I took notes and jotted things down at different intervals. The reading hadn't taken that long and soon I was on my way to finding a cypress tree before I went hunting for the nemean lion which was rumored to be in the area though, an over grown hard to kill cat would be hard to miss considering the size of the thing you'd have to be stupid not to see it.
Perception is all about what one sees as well as what the brain can believe many would think that it was just a hoax played on them by the town's resident misfits in which case I would probably classify you as a son or daughter of Hermes. The logical answer of it being that the child had most likely had a powerful scent that attracted the beast in the first place though, there is no way of knowing if I don't really leave the woods as I think that Athena is also, trying to get me to rescue half-bloods on my journey not to mention the possibility of her having sent the beast.
It has been two weeks since Athena asked the fates to send me to Alaska and I can feel that Olympus is in turmoil all except Aunt Hestia and the aforementioned goddess of wisdom and battle strategy. The only reason Aunt Hestia isn't worried like the others is because; she knows where I am and what I am doing not surprising as it seems she knows whenever something is going down in ways that may or may not effect Olympus as a whole.
Camp Olympus
Jason's pov
The life of a demi-god is never easy and we all know that and there are some of us who never make it to the camp be you roman or Greek. The youngest we've had demi-gods come to camp is a the age of four and most of the younglings enjoy hearing the stories of the greatest demi-god in history though, if you're thinking of Heracles you are wrong as f*** for even suggesting it. The demi-god I speak of is my cousin a son of Poseidon Percy Jackson or Perseus as he is called mostly when he's in trouble or when someone wants to kill him that being quite often.
Recently Olympus has been in an uproar because said cousin has disappeared yet again! You would think that my cousin had done enough to prove his worth to the gods by saving Olympus twice right? Wrong! He can't even rest for a day before he disappears yet again due to some divine intervention. The thing that puzzles me is that the one person who should be worried and out looking for him more than us isn't and that puzzles me because recently a new son of Poseidon has been crowned his name is max Jones and he has been spreading rumors about Percy since he got here.
The fact that you could so easily dishonor a man let alone your own brother is despicable and something needs to be done before this gets out of hand though, I shudder to think what he would do once he figures out that the campers loyalties are no longer with him none but a few of us are still loyal and those are the veterans of both the second titan and giant wars.
The people from those wars being Clarisse, Leo, Piper, Hazel, Frank, Me, Nico, Katie, Thalia, and the Stoll's annabeth had been one of those people until recently and it really irked me how she could cheat on Percy when he was most likely out proving to her mother that he was worthy enough to marry her though, now I believe it's the other way around.
I prayed to my uncle Poseidon for entrance into his cabin seeing as Percy wasn't here and I needed to iris message my half sister Athena to see what she knows where Percy is.
I had made it to the Poseidon cabin in less than a few seconds and had already entered without consequence though, as I walked over to the fountain the supposed better couple walked into the cabin yet I ignored them.
Picking up the drachma on the counter and tossing it into the fountain as I turn I spoke listening as the sickening bitch f**** my best-friends brother as I spoke.
"Iris goddess of the rainbow accept my offering show me Lady Athena throne room of Olympus" I said, as I closed my eyes.
The second I opened my eyes there was my half-sister Athena with a curious expression on her face as if she didn't know why I was calling though, she clearly knew just what I wanted. I looked at my half-sister with a bit of disgust as I spoke.
"you sent Percy on a quest without telling anyone and you're supposed favorite daughter is a slut there's no doubt in my mind that she lost he virginity when she was twelve either" I said, making her glare at me.
"And why little brother would you say that?" she asked.
I shook my head moving into the shadows and clapped my hands making all lights in the Poseidon cabin come on showing her exactly why I said it before turning back to her and her look of utter horror and rage as I spoke.
"That's why and I am pretty sure you know both sides of his heritage don't you" I asked? With her nod I continued.
"The fever is already starting to set in on me being here and I am sure he is closer to the change than I am you know what we are. The rest of us that are still loyal to Percy in camp all have a parent that is descendant from that tribe and he is king. Once, he changes so will we and when he comes back can you imagine what will happen" I asked?
She sat on her throne looking thoughtful for a minute before she paled and nodded as she spoke.
"The domino effect his anger and rage at the two will set in on all of you causing your change due to the connection of the pride mind not to mention the size you all will be. Well I truly did screw up as well as Poseidon did damn" she said, as she sat back in her throne you could see the gears turning in her head before speaking though, this might be interesting.
"gather all of those who remain loyal to Perseus with a pack and ready to go tell them Hestia will be there with a new outfit to give to you all as he already has his though, Jason I caution you when you reach him by all means do not tell him just yet and if you shit after he does and he finds out just help him as much as you can. I fear our sister will lose a few hunters to the pride if what I found in their family histories are correct" she said, before swiping through, the message.
Leaving the Poseidon cabin I find everyone already on the cabin green standing with aunt Hestia and I can't help but like the prides personal style as I walk I notice my clothes shimmering into what everyone else is wearing causing most campers to stop and stare at us.
Olympus throne room
Athena pov
That girl knows not what she has done! I seriously hope the boy is still in Alaska otherwise he would probably have prayed to iris to show him what's going on in camp or more importantly the Poseidon cabin though, I had felt something cross into where the gods power reach and I am hoping it isn't Perseus because of the pride mind it would be dangerous if it was.
I had thought that keeping Poseidon's son from my daughter it was because I feared he would break her heart now I see differently it is she who has broken his.
I was so deep in my thoughts that I hadn't really heard it but I felt the call and emotion behind it, Perseus had found out and he was pissed.
Canadian border
Percy's pov
The journey out of Alaska was one I had not wanted to make a second time though I had made it with little to no injury at all and I missed home everything in me screamed to go home and I was keen to do it so I prayed to iris.
"Lady Iris please show me the happenings of camp"
"Be prepared Percy you won't like it"
"I will don't worry"
"No iris don-"
But it was too late what I saw and heard disgusted me and made me proud to have at least some true friends. When the video feed entered my cabin I saw something that made me snap the fever I had been feeling suddenly spread throughout my body as my clothes were shredded to bits.
My body covered in tan orange fur my eyes a scarlet orange with sea-green streaks and a mane or scarlet red hair with black streaks and one grey streak I roared loudly with so much power and rage that I was pretty sure the gods and the camp heard it before I began running.
Camp Olympus
3rd person
Those still loyal to Percy stiffened as they heard the roar that rung out across the world eyes widening as they looked to Hestia for help. She looked at the assembled of those loyal to Percy and told them to let the fire spread and to sit and wait for the prides king to reach them.
The campers watched as those that remained loyal to Percy change into lions the size of a horse with both fear and awe on their faces do to the primal roar that rang throughout the world.
They had known who it was the moment they had heard it and knew that their savior and leader had learned of what they had done of what they had believed.
Olympus throne room
3rd person
The gods watched as their children still loyal to the son of Poseidon go from their human forms to lions the size of a horse. They soon turned their eyes to the other iris message in the room showing a tan lion with a burnt orange mane of hair with a black and gray streak as it ran through the forest dodging in and out of trees and by the looks of it he was close to camp.
The gods watched as the son of Poseidon was join by lions half his size though, with each new lioness to arrive and running beside the son of Poseidon the gods notice a silver streak in their cream or tan fur and eyes severely pissing of Artemis causing her to change into a lioness the same size as Perseus and flash in front of him roaring.
The goddess of the hunt felt members of her hunt turn into lions and joining the pride being lead by Perseus Jackson though, she respected him she had no idea that the call to the bloodline would cause her hunters to change and rush to join him. The fact that it did made her mad though, they may be her hunters they're his pride and his call to arms is stronger than her own.
They weren't far off from the camp when she decided to flash in front of the group and roar at the son of Poseidon who in his rage closed mind roared right back both were squaring up for a battle until they looked into each others eyes and froze as they looked into each others eyes.
Percy's pov
I was dodging between trees being joined by a bunch of lionesses with silver streaks in their eyes and I immediately knew these were hunters with the pride bloodline though, Thalia was the one I had recognized first.
We were two miles out from camp half-blood when I noticed a cream colored lioness appear in front of me roaring but I could hear her thoughts just as she could mine.
" Where are you going with my hunters!"
" They joined me on their own now stand aside Artemis"
" They are my hunters they will not willingly join you boy!"
" The call of the pride is stronger than that of the HUNT!"
I roared at her again just as she roared at me growling and crouching as we did when I looked into those silver pools that were her eyes my world froze as if time was being stopped everything that kept me tied to earth no longer mattered only she did and I could tell it was vise versa.
Shaking my head of the thoughts I bolted around Artemis and continued to run towards the camp hell bent on ripping a certain daughter of Athena to shreds.
I noticed a large pine tree sitting on top of a hill and realized I had made it to camp with little to know trouble all the while I listened as the others growled I could see through, their eyes as the other campers backed them into a corner so I ran up the hill.
The minute I reached the top of half-blood hill I see the ones that stayed loyal to me backed into a corner with annabeth and my supposed half-brother leading the charge.
The sky darkened as lightning flashed behind me showing off myself as well as the others in a sinister light as I snarled before jumping with Artemis and the hunters into the middle of the charging crowd and roared loudly causing the campers to back down.
Looking into the eyes of Annabeth chase I shifted forms holding my left hand in the direction of the campers I hold them in place by their blood as I spoke.
" Why" I ask?
" I thought you were dead" she replies, I scoff.
" if I were dead wouldn't nico or Hades alert the gods?" I ask.
I watched as my bastard of a half-brother tried to speak before I begin to boil his blood without looking at him as I wait for an answer.
" I don't know" she said, I laughed before reaching into my pocket and grabbing the small box given to me by this girls mother.
" I was gone courtesy of your mother daughter of Athena I know you hadn't thought I was dead I know that you hooked up with him the second I was gone hubris isn't your fatal flaw no yours is a lust for power. You and these campers make me sick because, the second a supposed better hero comes along to all flock to him like a moth to flame" I said, as I boiled his blood more.
"that's not true!" a camper yelled
"do not speak to me son of Ares I have fought in three wars to make sure you all survived despite the consequences of my reckless endeavors and humbling myself to make you all feel better. The fates have used me as a toy to save not only you all but the gods as well. You all are despicable creatures I risk my life to keep you all alive and this is what I get? Tell you what you keep your new hero but don't come looking for me when you need my help as I will not lift my blade for you bastards a fourth time" I said, taking off toward the woods jumping and shifting mid air snarling I feel the others follow me including Artemis.
I could hear Apollo as he made his round behind the clouds playing linkin park new divide and I thought how fitting it was.
New Divide
By: Linkin park
I remember black skies
The lightning all around me
I remembered each flash
as time began to blur
like a startling sign
That fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the thoughts cross
the distance in your eyes
give me reason
to fill this hole
connect the space between
let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
across this new divide
There was nothing inside
but memories left abandoned
there was nowhere to hide
the ashes fell like snow
between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the thoughts cross
the distance in your eyes
give me reason
to fill this hole
connect the space between
let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
across this new divide
in every loss in every lie
in every truth that you denied
and each regret and each goodbye
was a mistake to great to hide
and your voice was all I heard
that I get what I deserved
So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the thoughts cross
the distance in your eyes
give me reason
to fill this hole
connect the space between
let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
across this new divide
As the song ended the last of us walked into the forest shadows never to be seen for quite sometime while lightning continued its tour through the sky.
