A light wind fluttered through the air, rustling leaves in the forest. The plentiful stars twinkled in the night sky, accompanied by a glowing white moon shining rays of beautiful moonlight on Earth's surface.

"Well, Selene seems to be happy today…"

Two men stood atop a cliff gazing calmly at the night sky above them. Hoods, unidentifiable by any means- mortal or magical, covered both faces. Yet one could tell they were tall, with similar ages.

"We both know that's not true," spoke the other, his voice almost as quiet as a whisper.

"Just… just trying to lighten the mood up a bit."

"By bringing up a Titan whose only domain is about to be given up to an Olympian?"

"Hey, don't talk about us like that! At least we're not making her fade, we ARE turning her into the moon incarnate."

Silence descended on them as they kept on admiring the beautiful sky above them. A few lonesome birds chirped, nocturnal animals came out for food and nature continued on its way, unperturbed by the presence of the two figures.

But for the pair themselves, there was something to do. They knew it was time. With no need for words, both left the cliff, one flashing to Olympus, the other—only Chaos knows where.

"What's wrong, sister?"

Perseus arrived as fast as he could. He had just received a message from his sister, urging him to come to Crete. And since it was his favorite sibling, Rhea, he couldn't wait even a second. He was fiercely protective of her; it was a wonder he hadn't killed Kronos for eating her children yet.

"Thank Chaos you came, I had no one else to turn to!" Rhea said with relief.

"Ok, ok, now tell me, what's so distressing?"

"I'll have to show you, come with me…"

Rhea led the way across the beautiful island of Crete, taking him through rainforests, with exotic flowers; sparkling lakes with energetic fish leaping from the water, and finally, at a large cave inside a hill. Two lions, Rhea's sacred animals, were guarding it and Perseus could hear the soft cries of a baby echoing out of it. His eyes widened.

"Is that…?" he asked.

"Yes, it is," Rhea replied, "Now, come on."

The lions allowed them in with a simple gesture from Rhea. When they arrived, they found a few nymphs breaking off the horn off Amaltheia, the goat that gives unlimited milk and honey. They were about to feed it to the baby that was bawling in a crib when they arrived.

"Rhea, what have you done?" Perseus quietly asked.

"I know, I know, I'm sorry, Perseus, but Kronos wasn't in his senses and one thing sort of led to another…" Rhea weakly replied.

Immense rage was building up inside Perseus. How dare he do this? he thought. How dare he force himself on her? Granted, this wouldn't be the first time, but every time it happened, he felt like going up to Kronos' mighty castle, tearing it down brick by brick, torturing him and his cronies till they begged to die, and then throwing them down to Tartarus. He knew he could that, and much, much more. The only thing stopping him was Gaea's prophecy of a child of Kronos killing him. He was powerful, but not powerful enough to defy a prophecy. Suddenly, Rhea's words interrupted his thoughts,

"Perseus, before you do something rash, please look at the baby."

"Fine…"muttered Perseus.

He angrily stormed over to the crib. When he peered inside, he could've sworn his heart melted. A tiny baby was squirming, with his arms up in the air like he was begging to be picked up. There was a small tuft of white hair on his cute head, and his eyes were the most intense and electrifying blue he had ever seen. And he'd seen Ouranus. He had stopped crying and now his mouth was just sitting open with 2 tiny teeth visible. He was smiling slightly, like he just saw another toy that he could play with. Perseus anger had long been gone. It was replaced by protectiveness and care for the little baby he'd just seen.

"How old is he?" he tenderly asked

"Just a few days old," she replied, "And can I ask you if you would like to train him? I have a feeling he's the prophecy child."

"Yes, I'll train him," he said, still looking at the baby, "He's going to grow up to be powerful, I can tell… What's his name?"

"Zeus."

"Look, I know you're teenager now, and you want your own 'freedom', but you can't just focus on your sword fighting and martial arts the entire time!"

A 16-year-old teenager whined. His electric blue eyes bristled with frustration.

"But Uncle Perseus…" Before he could continue, Perseus interrupted him.

"Ah, ah, no buts, Zeus. You're mother has tasked me to teach you all the things you need to take down your father. And that includes more than just fighting."

Zeus turned around and stared at the beach ahead of him. He was just about to secretly practice sword fighting with the Curetes when his Uncle Perseus busted him. He knew there was no point of sneaking off anyways; the island of Crete was large, but not large enough for a supernatural being that could teleport anywhere.

"Ah, fine, let's go, Uncle! Off to amazing fun land! Yay!" Zeus sarcastically exclaimed.

Perseus rolled his eyes, a slight smirk on his face.

"What's the point of learning how to throw rocks? How is that going to help me in anyway?"

Perseus sighed. "They're boulders, not rocks. And you never know when a skill like this might come in handy."

Zeus pretended to contemplate deeply for a few seconds. Then he stared blankly at him, "I can't think of a single situation where this would help me."

Zeus was officially an adult now. His age resembled Perseus' preferred one of 20-ish and with that age came rigorous training and exercise. One of these was accurately throwing boulders. But unfortunately, his teenage years had left quite a bit of cheekiness. So Perseus decided to try a new tactic. Instead of scolding him like he felt like doing, he actually answered his question.

"Well, let's see… say you can't storm The Titans' castle from the front door. You'll have to get to the mountain next to it, Mt. Olympus, and launch boulders from there, obviously under the cover of night, thereby destroying their castle, luring them out and disorienting the Titans, which will make it much easier to defeat them."

Zeus was stunned for a second before he blew a raspberry and said something like, 'yeah, whatever'.

Perseus smiled. Even though he was an adult, Zeus still behaved like the kid he met all those years ago, when Rhea asked for his help to raise him. And although he would never admit it, he felt proud of him. He'd come a long way since he first saw him.

"Alright, you ready?"

'Ready as I'll ever be, brother."

"No, are you sure, Poseidon, seriously, we can do this tomorrow night as well."

Poseidon shook his head. "Zeus, just do it. Give the command already!"

"Alright, alright! Olympians, you ready?"

'Olympians? Where did you get that from?"

"I don't know, Hades, I kind of created it just now… Whatever! OLYMPIANS! THROW THOSE BOULDERS!"

Zeus smiled.

Thanks, Uncle Perseus.

Percy Jackson (the one that we know and love) WILL appear in this story. So don't go running away thinking that this fanfic should not be on the PJ fandom!

So… yeah. New story. Just to clarify, this isn't going to be about Zeus killing Kronos. This was just an introduction.

You know, I've always felt that in fanfics where Percy is some sort of god or something, Zeus has always been portrayed as an arrogant, stuck up and pompous asshole who doesn't know how to run a council, because he thinks that only his opinion counts. Sure, he might display those qualities sometimes, but if he was a real person and was the master of the universe who ruled for over 3,000 years, he would've HAD to change with the times and not overly anger the other gods, or they would have overthrown him. (I know that they DID revolt once, but Zeus would've changed from that experience.)

Also, people don't realize the power of the gods and titans, namely Zeus. Personally, I don't like those fanfics where Percy becomes a god and has more power than Zeus, kills him with one hit, blah blah blah. ZEUS IS THE LORD OF EVERYTHING. HE KILLED KRONOS, THE PREVIOUS LORD OF EVERYTHING. AND KRONOS KILLED OURANUS, THE PREVIOUS PREVIOUS LORD OF EVERYTHING! He controls the sky! He is basically God!

I'm done.
