AN. Hi guys, this will be my first fanfic ever, so please give me some grace for grammar/ spelling errors. I'm not exactly sure what the pairing will be so I will see if I can start a poll on who it will end up being, as of right now the options are: Percy/Artemis, Percy/Zoe, Percy/Thalia or maybe a combo there of, most of this will be cannon but somethings won' be, as there will be some of my own oc's and they will be helping out throughout the series.

Anyways enough of me rambling; on to the story. I do not own Percy Jackson nor any affiliated works, the only thing I own is my oc's.

Olympus, the home of the gods. Floating at 6,000 feet above the empire state building; it is a wonderful place, full of beautiful gardens and palaces of breathtaking architecture, the sounds of music and laughter ring throughout the city but not today, for there is a heaviness to the air, a sense of foreboding, Zeus' master bolt has been stolen, the best hunters are sent to find it, but when they failed Zeus decided to hire some mercenaries to find his bolt and bring the thief to Olympus, dead or alive.

My name is Drakothiem, I am a mercenary currently in the employ of Olympus to help find Zeus' master bolt, and bring the thief to justice, but when the young Perseus Jackson was accused of being the thief I hesitated, I knew he didn't do it because I had been watching him, I had my orders but I also knew that Zeus would kill him without any hesitation, and I couldn't let that happen as that would go against my previous orders so I had to go and see this young Perseus and either help him clear his name orkeep him safe from Zeus' wrath.

Chapter one:

A Helping hand

This sucks, I thought to myself, here I am stuck on this quest trying to retrieve an object I never stole, to give back to someone I've never met, and if I fail there will be a war, this is fantastic. "Hey Percy, how are holding up?" Grover asked, "Fine, let's just keep moving," I told him. We kept moving west; we had just finished killing Medusa, and we were cold, tired and overall feeling miserable, when all of a sudden I heard a twig snap,I started to pull Riptide out but then Annabeth appeared and yelled at me "Hey seaweed brain, keep up will you?" "Yeah I'll be right there," I yelled back, I kept moving but I kept my hand on Riptide, I had a feeling that I would need it soon.

We kept walking for a couple more hours, and we decided to take a short rest. Annabeth and Grover both slumped against the trees but I didn't relax as I still had that feeling of being watched. Grover must have noticed how tense I was as he asked "Hey Percy, are you okay bro? You look tense - are you still feeling the aftermath of dealing with Medusa?". "I..." I didn't know how to explain it to them, if they didn't believe me they might think that I was crazy, but I decided to tell them anyway. "Now don't panic, but I think that we are being followed."

"What makes you think that Percy?" asked Annabeth. "I just have this uneasy feeling, like I am being watched". Grover immediately sat up and began to sniff, "I don't smell any monsters." he said, "But there is a scent that doesn't belong to any of us".

"Your friend has a very good nose."

I pulled Riptide out and took a swing at the voice, but my blade never made it as it was intercepted by a black knife, "Whoa there kid, truce. I don't mean you guys any harm, if I wanted to hurt you guys I would've done it a while ago." He stepped back and raised his hands, I kept Riptide aimed at him and he sighed, "Look kid I would suggest lowering your weapon, as I don't want you to get hurt."

"What, 3 versus 1? We out number you." Annabeth said, he then snapped his fingers and about a dozen guys appeared next to us with rifles aiming at us. "As I said kid, lower your weapon". We had no choice, by the time I could swing my sword at this guy's head we would be full of bullets. I lowered my sword, "Fine" I said. "What's your name kid?" "You tell me yours, and I'll tell you mine" I replied. He chuckled, "Fair enough kid" And he stepped out of the bush , he was around 6 feet tall and had broad shoulders, he was wearing camouflage pants and jacket with one of those military black vests with all the pouches hanging off of it and a knife on his left shoulder, he had two holsters on his legs complete with pistols, he had armoured elbow and knee pads and he was wearing a green military helmet "My name is Drakothiem, well technically it's LT Drakothiem of the Freelancer corp. but most just call me Drako or LT."

I said, "Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon. And this is Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, and Grover Underwood, satyr".

"Hmmm. And let me guess, you guys are on a quest to retrieve Zeus' master bolt, am I correct?"

"How do you know that?" Annabeth asked.

"I know lots of things, like how many times Percy has been kicked out of school, what are you up to now like six? Exactly where he was when the bolt was stolen and I know where he lives."

"How do you know that?" I stammered.

"I've been watching you for a very long time Percy, most of your life in fact; it was a favour and a contract to your father. He wanted someone to watch over you and protect you from the dangers of this world, and since I owed him a favor I fit the bill. However, my newest mission is to find the thief and bring him to Olympus dead or alive." "And that means that I am supposed to bring you to Olympus, however I know that you aren't the thief so I will let you go" I felt relived this guy wasn't going to arrest me. "Now I wouldn't recommend going north of here, I would go south and keep going west" Said Drako "And why is that?" Annabeth asked "I cannot say" He replied "Will you be coming with us?" I blurted out "No" "And why not?" "Because I have been sent on another mission, now I have to go but, I want you to have something" He handed me what appeared to be a coin. "If you ever need help insert this into any ATM machine and help will come"

"Now I best be off, good luck and good hunting" And after those last few words they left and there was no indication that they were ever there.

After they left Annabeth said "Well, that was interesting" "It was, wasn't it?" Said Grover "Yeah" I said "Real interesting"

"What did he mean by watching you Percy?" Asked Annabeth

"I don't know"

"Have you ever seen him before?"

"I'm not sure" At this point in time she was facing me

"What do you mean you're not sure?"

"Look I don't expect to remember every single face I see, okay?"

"Well I would expect you to remember that on"

"Well…"

"Guys" Said Grover

"What?" We both said to him. He pointed behind us, we both turned around slowly and right behind us was a shadow like creature with glowing red eyes and fangs, "Hellhound" We whispered

AN Hey guys I know that this chapter was really short but they will get longer as I warm up my writing ability. I hope you guys enjoyed this first chapter.

I am currently looking for a beta, I want someone who has written some stories of their own to beta my story for me and to also give some feed back on my ideas, and to see if they can contribute to the story as a whole.

Sorry for the cliff hanger but I couldn't find another way to end the story. Thanks for reading and I wish blessings on you all.

I am also bad at summary's
