Well, since I have laid three fanfics to rest, I have more layway for other fanfics. Now, this is inspired by blackwolf's Chaos Successor and joytothewild's Protogenoi Army. If you read either of those fanfics,(btw, they are favourite authors of mine, so go there) you may find that some parts of these stories are similar to theirs. I'll try my best to make them unique so they're more mine and not just copying. Anyways, please enjoy this new betrayed Percy Jackson story! - Steven
Mortal Ties
Prologue: Mortality
Pain. Anger. Suffering. It had all finally caught up to him after the past few millennia. Those swords finally brought out the emotions he had bottled up for so long and he had taken it out on them all. He wanted to laugh at the irony of his situation. He wanted to stay as mortal as he possibly could, but his mortality caused his downfall. As he laid there grievously wounded with blood, dirt and fire all around him, his vision started to blur. But suddenly a beautiful woman entered his peripheral vision, and as she gripped his shoulders his vision started to clear again.
"You are not dying on me. Not here, not now." she said sternly. The man in question chuckled at that.
"I've done too much to deserve to live. Besides, if Fate wills the string to be cut, then there is nothing no one, even you can do." he said.
"I don't care. Even though you did all this, it wasn't you. It isn't your fault." she said adamantly. The man tried to say something again, but he coughed up some blood, concerning the woman before he said,
"I lived for far too long. At least I left an imprint on this world that will last through the ages, even if my story has come to some… unfortunate end." His vision started to slip again, and even the woman couldn't do anything, even though she tried her best. "At least promise me that you'll get over me alright?" he said softly. "Don't go and blame yourself, because as I have, you should blame me. Going after the swords wasn't my greatest idea, but it was the only way that I could see to move forwards." He coughed up some more blood as his grip started to slip from the two bloody swords in his hands, one black as midnight and one as white as day. "Promise me." he said. "Then at least I can leave with the knowledge that you can move on."
The woman was crying, but she managed to choke out, "I-I do." The man smiled at that.
"Then it's time for me to leave this world. It's been a pleasure to serve these past millennia. Goodbye." His eyes closed before his grip slipped from the swords, and on that day a great hero was laid there next to two swords surrounded by the blood of innocents. A great man drove to madness, a man who tried to live a life as mortal as he could but that which killed him. No one would ever remember him and the only one who did never got over him liked she had said until one fateful day…
Line Break
Millennia after one great hero was laid to rest, another hero finally met his own downfall. Perseus Jackson, a legendary son of Poseidon to be exact. He had first braved through the Second Titan War and defeated Kronos, no matter how much he tries to deny it before he triumphed with the other six of the Seven to send Gaea back to her maker. He thought by then that he could finally have some peace from the normally hectic life of a demigod after two full wars. But although he did have some peace, it was never meant to last. And that was all because of one man, a new arrival. A son of Zeus by the name of Kevin Baker. He had arrived running away from hellhounds, fast on his feet and quick thinking. Once he was saved, Zeus automatically claimed him in front of camp. At first, he was actually alright. He became a decent swordsman, he made friends and he was well liked. But then one day he woke up and suddenly changed, along with a strange rim of white around his pupils. He started telling tales about their legendary saviour, of his own goals and what to him what he truly was. Most listened to him, except Percy's closest friends. That's when Kevin took even more riskier measures to destroy the son of Poseidon.
One by one, he orchestrated incidents, and one by one his closest friends left Percy for Kevin, also gaining this strange white rim around their eyes as Kevin celebrated from the shadows. Eventually only some of his even closer friends stayed, and word had even reached the Roman camp. Those friends that still stuck by were Nico Di Angelo, Grover Underwood, Reyna Avila Ramirez-Arellano, Thalia Grace, Jason Grace, Piper Mclean, Leo Valdez, Frank Zhang, Hazel Levesque and… well… you would know the last, but in the end she left as well. That was when the saviour of Olympus finally broke. He had asked to meet her at the beach one day you see, and he had to admit however she seemed off. He brushed it off as stress from being the architect of Olympus perhaps, or some other reason. Whatever it was, she would tell him soon enough. After receiving many dirty looks as he walked by, ignoring it all, he headed for the beach, where he knew his girlfriend of many years was. But that's when he saw it. He saw Kevin with his own girlfriend kissing, and that's when he finally snapped. He turned around and ran away from it. He just disappeared. Many searched far and wide for the son of Poseidon, but he vanished like a sea breeze. The gods eventually found out, and they showed all who had forsaken the greatest hero Olympus had seen the truth. Now they all felt guilt for what they done, although no one knew why they had done it. It was truly a mystery. Even Kevin himself felt like a fool for what he done, and Apollo made sure that no one told lies. Even though the ones who sticked by Percy felt a bit of remorse, they gave almost no reprieve for all who left him.
Now, what no one knew was that this was all planned by Fate. All had gone as predicted. Now, as to what would happen next to Perseus Jackson… well only they would know. For now we must just observe, you and I, until Fate unrolls the rest of the string to end the tale of this sorrowful story of betrayal, sacrifice and emotion. Only time can tell what will happen next.
You know, sometimes I wonder who is the great man who first thought of this original idea before 10 million copies of it circled this website. Anyways, if you liked this, please tell me how I did and stay tuned for the next chapter. Thanks everyone. - Steven
