A/N: This idea came to me from this really weird conversation about how Percy turned down immortality...O.o...


Percy's POV

Zeus offered me immortality. Guess what? Being the stupid human I was, I accepted.

I guess it's true that humans want what they cannot have. Immortality, for instance.

Zeus whispered a spell or something and something gold came flying toward me.

It hit me… At first I didn't feel any different. Then I noticed that time pretty much slowed down around me. I felt more at peace, calmer. I felt like I could run a marathon forever. I was stronger than I ever was, even when I took on the Achilles curse. I guess you can say that I felt like Hercules.

I also noticed that my senses were keener than a mortal's. I could see farther than before, my hearing was more acute, and almost taste the smells. I wonder what would happen if I tasted something.

If this was immortality, I guess you can say that I loved it.

As soon as my mind got used to the new ichor-filled body, I noticed that gods whispering to one another. Dionysus looked bored as usual. Athena and Artemis looked pretty angry. Most of them looked surprised or even disappointed.

I looked at my dad. Poseidon looked surprised and was shaking his head. He wouldn't meet my eyes. Then I saw what he was staring at… Annabeth

Annabeth's POV

"Yes, I'll accept immortality." Those words hit me like a blow. THAT JERK! He said he'll always be there for me… Immortality isn't THAT tempting…is it?

I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes. No, I shouldn't cry now. It was his choice after all.

I couldn't stop them. The tears came out.

I think most of the gods were staring at me. I know my mother and Poseidon was. I felt Percy turn and stare too.

I ran out of the throne room…


A/N: Hmm...What to do next... Tell me what you think plox :D Chapter 2 should be up soon, currently writing it right now.
