Percy could see the ground coming closer as he fell towards the earth. He did not know what he had been thinking getting on a plane and into his uncle's domain. Despite the seemingly calming down of his animosity, Zeus did not like Percy. Most notably because he was a reminder of his brother's broken oath and the fact that the demigod was so much more powerful than any of his own children be it past or present. He calmed himself before using his aunt's blessing over the hearth to flame himself from his current position and aim for the ocean where he knew it would be safe for him to land due to who his father was. He was not however counting on the bright white light that struck him just as he flamed out sending him from the world he knew to a whole new territory.

Zeus watched with a passionless face as the plane his nephew had been on exploded. He was not happy with son of Poseidon presuming to encroach in his territory. He didn't even spare a glance at the mortals who never knew what hit them before they exploded. He knew that the brat would survive the explosion and watched as he fell towards the ground from the air. He also knew he could not kill the brat as he was now sure that he was the prophesied one, but that did not mean that he would not remind him of the fact that he was not welcome to fly without permission.

A white light streaked through the sky and to Zeus' horror hit the boy causing him to burst into flames until there was nothing left but ash. Zeus new his brother would blame him for the death of his currently only mortal son, the death of the boy would mean war. He sat down on his throne and waited for his brother to appear. He had no idea who killed the boy but they had taken advantage of the situation making it appear as if it was Zeus who killed him. He immediately realised that it probably was the plan all along. Someone had left the boy with no choice but to embark on a journey on a plane knowing that Zeus would be furious and he had played right into their hands. From the way things looked Zeus had just struck down and killed off his nephew despite his reassurances to his brother that he would not kill his son unless he gave him a legitimate reason to do so, such as betrayal.

Percy felt himself hit the water surface just as he sunk to the bottom. Whatever the white light did made him feel like he was no longer connected. He could not feel anything for a few seconds before excruciating pain all over his body struck him. What Percy did not know was that the light had indeed burned his body and scattered his atoms all over the place, but because he was in mid travel when it struck his atoms were already scattered via the form of fire travel he used so when his scattered atoms landed in the water and began to come back together again he was literally piecing himself together again. The human part of him did not survive the explosion but the half god part of him did. His powers from his father combined with the blessings from his aunt Hestia and Aphrodite healed his body creating a new hybrid in the process erasing his mortality. By the time Percy reached the bottom of the ocean he was passed out and he did not notice the changes he had undergone.

Gone was the average looking guy that he saw in the mirror every day, instead he was now had a much smaller and daintier body much more suited to a girl than the boy he was. His hair was longer and if possible darker than before reaching the small of his back as well as long black eyelashes resting on pale white skin the contrast shocking in its intensity. In other words Percy looked like the Nereids and Nymphs he had seen around camp half blood. The glow on his body gave him another worldly look about him. He was still out as different sea creatures surrounded him looking at him and seemingly trying to figure out what it was about him that made them feel drawn to him. None of the attacked him even the sharks that were circling above him. Instead they seemed to be keeping the other sea creatures from crowding around him trying to take a closer look. He didn't move or stir from his position for nearly week while his body repaired itself and through it all his new protectors kept a vigilant eye on him.

Percy opened his eyes for the first time in a week, it was much more difficult than he thought. For a moment there he could not remember how to do it. As panic arose he felt something brush across face and over his eyes, he started working on his eye muscles as soon as he figured out where they were before he manged to open them. The first thing he noticed was that it was very wet everywhere. He realised he was under water as he sometimes took a nap in the water underneath his cabin at camp halfblood when he wanted to be alone. He noticed it was darker deeper than usual, he sat up and noticed the sea life around him. He could hear their voices in his head as they swam back fourth past and beyond. Most of them were wondering what he was and why they felt connected to him. The older sea creatures that looked like they had been around a while looked at him as if they had seen a ghost.

A sea turtle moved forward and said "Hello young one. It has been a while since we met anyone with a connection to the sea."

Percy frowned and said "What do you mean?"

The turtle replied "It has been many birth cycles since the old gods faded but I remember what a child of the sea feels like even though I was newly hatched when the last child of the gods died. Percy began to panic.

"What do you mean faded, my father cannot be gone I spoke to him this morning."

He didn't wait for the turtle to finish speaking before using the water to propel him where he knew his father's domain lay. It didn't take long for him to arrive to find the ruins of Atlantis buried at the bottom of the ocean. There were skeletons of different creatures some with spears, swords and other weapons through them others looked like they had been ripped apart. He swam towards where he knew his father's throne room was and found nothing but death and destruction. He sat down and wept his heart breaking for the loss of not only his father but seemingly everything he knew because if the gods were gone what had replaced them?

Percy set about clearing the debris around him. He buried the skeletons he found and placed markers on the graves. Even though he did not know who they were they were still a part of his family. He didn't notice the power that exuded from him as he went about his task. The backbreaking work kept him from breaking down again. Weeks turned into months and still Percy kept up the work, by now other sea creatures had joined him helping him carry huge rocks and moving them to where they needed to be. He didn't even realise when the place had started to cease resembling a graveyard and to start looking more like it once had been. Fauna grew around the place again for the first time in centuries and fish had returned as well. With only the company of the fish, sharks and turtles. The palace was now partially rebuilt and was beginning to resemble what Percy remembered about his father's home.

He was determined to finish it so badly that he did not even realise that the only time he stopped was when he passed out from exhaustion where he stood or when the sea creatures brought him seaweed to eat. When he started to clear out the throne room he noticed something shiny under the sand in the room. H bent down and pulled it out to himself holding his father's trident. This more than anything made him realise the fact that his father was gone and he broke down for the second time since he arrived. The Trident seemed to come to life when he picked it up power shot out of it repairing everything in sight before it glowed over Percy bonding with him. Percy had always been connected to the sea but not to the extent he now felt. He felt his father's domains connect to him giving him a rush of power he had never thought possible to exist and with it knowledge of the fates of the gods.

They had faded one by one eons ago, some due to heartbreak others from the lack of belief of their followers. His father had faded after the loss of his wife, this more than anything else brought Percy out of his misery. He sat on the floor of the throne room as he went through the memories provided to him by the ocean. Everything was different to what he remembered. As far as he knew the gods had not disappeared centuries ago otherwise he would not have been born. He knew the current date thanks to his new knowledge. There was also the fact that he could not sense any nymphs or nereids or any of the other creatures from greek mythology. He decided he needed to go on land if he was ever going to figure anything out.

So for the first time in months Percy swam up to the surface. He watched as the trident began to change shape into an arm band that wrapped around his left forearm showing a picture of a trident. Just as he surfaced he realised one thing, he was completely naked. He had not really noticed before being under the ocean where no human could see him. However now he realised it was a problem. He could see the statue of liberty from where he was and wondered how he was going to leave the ocean without anyone noting his state of undress. He face palmed when he realised he knew how to conjure clothes thanks to his powers being increased. He willed a pair of black jeans and a black shirt on himself before swimming towards dry land.

There weren't that many people at the docks when he arrived but he willed himself to stay wet so as not to make himself stand out more than he was already going to be for seemingly going swimming in his clothes. A couple of people noticed him before asking him

"Are you okay?" He smiled and said "Oh I'm fine, it was just a couple of my friends who thought it would be funny to make me swim back to shore."

He walked away as the couple made pitying noises at him and for some reason seemed to want to cuddle him, making him freak out a little bit. He didn't wait for anyone else to pitch in as he quickly turned a corner into an alleyway and flame travelled to the position where he knew camp halfblood was. He didn't know what he was expecting to find as he knew that without the gods there could not be any demigods, to his surprise however camp was there. Despite the fact that it was deserted. Dust covered everything but the cabins were still standing even the big house where he used to go to find Chiron stood firm. It was eerie everything seemed the same just unused and covered in dust as if everyone had just up and left. He went into the forest that had always been stocked with monsters but found nothing in it, it was just as abandoned as the camp. The creek where he fought his first capture flag was still there as well. The only reason Percy could see that it had remained untouched all this time was because of the barriers around. They still stood strong around the area.

Percy looked in all the cabins and most of them still had the camper's belongings left behind. Not anything of worth but enough to tell him that they left of their own accord. He supposed with the gods and the monsters fading the need for training and their safety was no longer there. He flamed out to the top of the empire state building. He knew there was an entrance to Olympus there and made his way to the elevator hidden on top of the building. He found what he was looking for and made his way up. Strangely it was as if nothing had changed if you took into consideration the fact that the place was devoid of life. The buildings were still standing rivers flowing and trees swaying. It was just empty of life. Percy made his way to the hall where he first brought the lightning bolt back to his uncle only to find it just as empty.

He walked around searching for any kind of life and found nothing. He did however find Zeus' lightning bolt on the floor of one the rooms he was searching. It was huge, Zeus must have been in his giant form the last time he held it. Percy walked up to it afraid to touch it. His eyes widened as it shrunk and then shot straight onto his right arm turning into an arm band similar to the trident on his left arm with a lightning bolt shape on it. As soon as that happened Percy could feel Zeus' domains in the sky. He also received knowledge of what happened here just he did in Atlantis. Zeus didn't fade he was killed by the demigods the other gods had already faded including his brothers. He was the only one left however due to the mortals no longer believing he was not as strong he used to be making him vulnerable. All the demigods he had tried to kill or use as a pawn wanted their revenge and they had it.

Percy sat down as he combined the new memories with the old ones. He had one more place he wanted to check out before he decided on his next move. He then flashed out to where he knew the entrance to the underworld was. He walked into DOA recording studios instead of the queue he was expecting there was nothing. Even Charon was not there to ferry the dead. Percy was confused. He thought that if there was one place that would still be functioning it would be the underworld. He found the boat docked in the river stix and boarded it. Making his way down he noticed that the pollution once mentioned by Caron was no longer there. The river styx was completely clean. When he got off the boat the quietness of the place was frightening him. Where were the dead, the monsters anything? Despite his fear he continued on his way to the palace where he found that Persephone's garden was still there and the fruit still just as enticing. It was as if everyone just up and left. He didn't understand it. He found the throne room where he met Hades for the first time and that was empty too.

He began to turn around and leave as he remembered what happened with his father's trident and Zeus' bolt, he didn't want to risk the same thing happening if Hades' helm was around, but before he could flame out something came streaking at him and just below the lightning bolt was a new armband with the shape of hades' Helm on it. Resigning himself to it Percy waited for the memories to assimilate themselves. Surprisingly enough Hades suffered the same fate as his father, the loss of his wife and believers forced him to fade taking his kingdom with him. It seems the dead now just faded when they died in life.

Before he could do anything a voice spoke making him freeze. "Well now that you have the power of the big three it's time to train you how to use it."
