On August 16th, 1994 Evelyn Jackson gave birth to four baby boys. Identical in every way except their birthmarks. On the oldest child's right hip, there was the letter R, and his name was Rykker Perseus Jackson. Next came Litario Orion Jackson who had an L on his hip as well. After came Kristoff Cadmus Jackson with a K on his hip. Adrian Capaneus Jackson was last, with his first initial on his hip.

What baffled doctors wasn't that the first that their birthmarks were in Greek or the fact that the children hadn't cried until Adrian was born. No, it was the fact the children's names had been given with the instructions that they go in order of birth and the birthmarks matched the names. Evelyn just smiled.


20 years later...

The battle with Kronos had just ended. Luke lay on the floor, dying. Percy and Annabeth kneeled over him, with Grover standing over them keeping watch, as Luke said good bye.

"Annabeth, I need to speak to Percy alone. Pleas wait outside." Rasped Luke. Annabeth looked at Percy, who nodded, before stamndingand walked out with Grover supporting her.

Once he was sure they were out of hearing range, Luke said, "Rykker, I am so sorry. I never meant for This to happen. You were right this summer. "

" It's alright, Luke. I will always love you, no matter what." Percy sobbed out. He could see Luke struggling with his words.

"I love you too. Tell Annabeth I love her, and she will always be my little sister. Also, tell Grover that he is the bravest satyr I know." ,whispered Luke.

By the time Annabeth and Grover came back with the gods and the surviving campers, Luke had taken his last breath.

As the gods gave the demigods their gifts for their services to Olympus, Percy was mourning his loves death. He didn't hear how Annabeth was made Architect of Olympus or Tyson asking for a big stick as a replacement for his club.

"Percy Jackson!" ,boomed Zeus. Percy looked up and walked forward, kneeling first on front his father and then Zeus. "We have decided to give you any gift you may ask for. And yes if you ask it shall be yours, godhood the greatest of all gifts-"

"No!" ,interrupted Percy, sounding very upset with the idea of immortality.

"Then what do you want?" ,asked Zeus, shocked much like everyone else in the throne room.

When Percy did not immediately answer, Poseidon to save him the pain. "The gift he would ask for goes against the laws you have created."

"And just what would this gift be?" , Hades asked, speaking for the first time.

"His family." ,was the only answer they got.
