An: Hello again, this is the second thing I wrote for Fanfiction. It's another idea that's been on my head for a while, I've seen a few others stories but they all just don't seem to get at what I've been thinking about. We've all seen stories where Percy is a son of Hades. So yeah read it and tell me what you think either through reviews or PMs. Alright not to keep you waiting anymore here it is.
_3rd POV_
The night already was bad enough with the constant storms but one choice changed it for the worse. Today was the day when men and woman all other the world celebrated the end of the tyranny of the titans. One child however was angered that the world celebrated the start of a new tyranny, this one by the gods.
This child's name is Perseus one of children of Iaeptus Titan of Morality and Death, ex-ruler of the underworld and Themis another Titaness. His parents remained neutral during the war in exchange for keeping their domains. Of course that promise was quickly broken.
The boy looked up as a man entered the room. Iaeptus was known for his features, silver hair and eyes and the trade-mark spear he carried.
_Perseus' POV_
I looked up as my father came in, he then wrapped a comforting arm around me. "It will be alright", he said "Hades didn't want to take my domain and as an apology he is willing to take you as his lieutenant, of course we will have to change your name and looks as Zeus is aware of you."
"What will I be doing as his lieutenant?" I asked. My father looked up to the door and it opened admitting Hades. My father hugged me once more and exited the room. "I am truly sorry for replacing your father, my brothers forced me too." Hades stated. "It's alright, so what will I be doing as your lieutenant?" I replied.
"Well, you will be taking the souls of the dead and bringing them to the river Styx. You will answer to me but you will be able to go around, though I highly doubt you will have much time seeing as you will have to also make sure souls don't escape back into the world." He replied "Remember we also need to change your features and your name for when in public."
"What will I change my name to?" I asked. "That is your choice." Hades answered. I thought about a name for my alias. Deciding on a name befitting being the lieutenant of the underworld, I answered, "Thanatos, Death."
"Appropriate" Hades said "Well now we must change your features. I think you can keep your eye color silver but you hair is too much like your father's we shall have to change it. How about changing it to black?"
"That will work I guess." I responded. Hades began to chant and my hair changed color and all of the sudden I felt stronger and more in tune with the domain of Death which I inherited from my father.
Hades slumped backwards and slid down the wall behind him and said "There you go, I also blessed you which gives you more power over the dead and the ability to move through shadows, also since you will work under me here is a gift from me."
He handed me a cloak that seemed to be made of shadows. Once I touched it, it began to glow with a dark light. "It has accepted you, I think that will be it." He said. Hades got up and as he was moving to open the door I said, "Thank you."
Hades just smiled and walked out of the room. Iaeptus entered carrying a wrapped up weapon. He came to me and handed it to me saying, "This is my parting gift my son, it was forged by those who also made my brother's scythe. It can reap the soul of those you cut, also if you chose to it can cause a greatly injured immortal to fade and all their powers to be transferred to you." I took it with great care and stared at it with awe. "Please do not grow to power hungry, I know you are not like your brother atlas who only wishes to be powerful, but even those like you can be corrupted. Kronos is a fine example." Iaeptus continued.
"Thank you father, I will miss you." I said and hugged him. He smiled and hugged me back. "I have to go now my son, just remember you can trust Hades and Hestia they are the only two you can trust, your brothers are to power hungry."
I felt tears slide out of my eyes and I released him. "Goodbye father." I said. Iaeptus smiled and flashed away in a silvery light.

I flashed myself to the top of mount Othrys as I paid my yearly visit to my brother Atlas. The first time I stumbled over him, he began to yell at me to get take his burden. As I pulled down my hood, he recognized my eyes and facial features as they looked similar to him minus the hair color and eye color.
"Perseus, is that you?" He asked. I merely nodded. He began to cry with joy. "I thought you had died. How are you?" "It's a long story." I responded. I proceeded to retell my tale.
After I had finished, I looked up to see the sun beginning to drop. "I am truly sorry but I must attend my duties. He nodded and asked, "Will you visit me again?"
"Of course I will brother." Over the years we got close to each other and a few times I took the burden of the sky together with him to let him relax slightly. One time while I was visiting he asked me a question. "Perseus, can you watch other my daughters? I am afraid of what will happen to them."
"I will try to Atlas." I merely responded. "Thank you Perseus you are the most helpful brother one could have."
I smiled and flashed away.
_(Time skip) 200 Years later_
I looked on from the shadows as Hercules tried to fight Laden. I just chuckled silently as he was driven away in fear of his life. After he reached the edge of the garden I saw my niece appear to him. She blushed when he greeted her.
I sighed knowing what was going to happen, Hercules had seduced many women just for his own gain and left them. I could not interfere as it would reveal my presence, however if things got worse I could subtly cause a disturbance to save my niece.
I looked up in time to see Zoe give Hercules a hairpin, which transformed into a sword. I sighed and waited for Hercules to finish his labor. Once again I looked up and saw Hercules leave Zoe after retrieving the golden apples. Angered but remaining calm knowing that I could not interfere, I continued to wait. Once Hercules left, I made the shadows transport Zoe to the Hunt knowing that they would give her a family as Artemis was the only good child of Zeus besides Hephaestus.
I sighed knowing that my niece is safe, my promise to Atlas completed. We are in for many interesting years.
An: AND CUT, so tell me what you guys think and if you like it tell others about it. Lord of Death and Time Out.
