Percy Jackson- Percathena fanfic 1
Start
Athena's POV
So, Perseus became a God, just like I thought. I have to admit it feels good to be always right, and being the Goddess of wisdom definitely helps with that situation. I honestly feel a little happy for Perseus, he could have his life long wish to serve his father for eternity, and I don't have to say how happy I am that he will no longer be able to date my daughter, but something besides happiness that he isn't going to be with my daughter anymore was making me feel giddy, and I absolutely have NO idea what it is, and I do NOT like not knowing anything. My mind was busy trying to find out what that mystery emotion was, not really listening to my father's speech. Then I heard Perseus' voice. I don't know the reason but his voice made me want to listen to what he has to say.
"I pledge myself to Olympus, to serve under my father and never fail in my duties as the God of Loyalty and Courage." he said as my uncle, Poseidon, The God of the Sea, hugged his son. I caught a glimpse at my daughter and found her to be crying severely, it was almost like she was going to be in a panic attack. Does she really care so much for that sea spawn? I better find out and stop whatever feelings she has for the now Lord Perseus. Somewhere deep down, very deep down, I could feel another emotion unknown to me, I know I've felt it before, but I can't quite put my finger on it, was it jealousy? I believe it is, but jealous of what, I don't know. I'm starting to really hate this day, not knowing to things is too much for me. Then I heard a voice inside my head. She was trying to tell me something, something about love, Annabeth, Perseus and me. I make it a point not to communicate with strange voices, but it's draw on me was unstoppable, like it was primal or something.
"Listen to me, I'm your female intuition, you've locked me away for millenia, but now, Perseus has found the key, the key to your heart." the voice said to me.
"Are you insane? I'm the Goddess of Wisdom, there is no time for me to engage in such a trivial matter such as love." I argued in my head, no mortal or God can beat me in a debate.
"Really, then why did you pay attention to Perseus, or rather Perseus' voice then?" the voice countered.
"Well, I, Uh..." Wow, that's the first time in history I, Athena, can't answer a question.
"Give this new feeling a chance, give love a chance, most importantly give Perseus a chance." the voice pleaded with me. Of course I can't beat the voice in a debate, because the voice was me, or another part of me, a part I've locked up.
"Okay." I said aloud. The moment I said that all heads were now turned to face me, even my own daughter jerked her head to face me.
"So, Athena has volunteered herself to train Perseus in the way of being an Olympian." my father, Zeus, said. I was stunned, I clearly had no idea what the Hades they're talking about. Now I got myself stuck with the son of one of my fiercest rivals.
"I declare this counsel be dismissed." my father said in a booming voice, and the other Olympians left, except me and Perseus.
"Lady Athena." Perseus and Annabeth said then bowed when I approached him.
"Stand up Perseus and Annabeth." I said to the both of them. My daughter looked hurt and confused. Perseus was equally confused, his eyebrows were knitted together, I could tell he was thinking hard about something. I never saw it before, but Perseus had features that any woman would find attractive, his deep sea-green eyes, toned body, extreme bravery, and unfaltering loyalty. I feel like I'm falling, but my feet were firmly planted on the floor.
"Mother, can I have a word with you.? Annabeth said before she lead me outside the throne room, leaving Perseus alone.
Annabeth's POV
How could she? How could my very own mother fall for MY Percy. I know she hasn't said anything but the look she gave him told me, I know because that's the exact same look I get when I'm thinking about him.
"What is it my daughter?" my mother asked me.
"Mother, you can't have him." I said flatly, trying to control my tone.
"What are you talking about?" she defended herself.
"Percy is mine mother, not yours or any others." I said my voice becoming much more strained.
"Annabeth dear, he is a God now, and you know very well Gods can't coexist with mortals or demigods for long. And you should know my daughter the I have no such feeling for that sea spawn." she countered.
"I will hold you to your word mother." I said before leaving for the elevator. I know my mom loves Percy, but I won't go down without a fight! He's my seaweed brain!
Athena's POV
What could my daughter be thinking? I'm not in love with Perseus, ''yet" the voice said again. I shook my head trying to get rid of it. I saw Perseus sitting at his throne, looking somewhat lost.
"Perseus?" I asked cautiously.
"Yes?" he said. I let out a sigh that I didn't know I built up.
"Perseus, what are your feelings toward my daughter?" I asked, my heart beating inexplicably fast.
"Annabeth is my best friend, truth be told, there was a time when I thought she was the one for me, but I since found out that my emotions were wrong. She will always be my best friend, and I would gladly sacrifice myself for her." he replied. My heart sped up faster and a small smile crept up on my face. Hearing him say that he doesn't love my daughter in a more romantic way makes me hopeful, but hopeful of what? Again I don't know.
"Very well Perseus." I chimed in. "We can start training you for Godhood tomorrow, I'll let you have a day off today." I continued. His face lit up with a breathtaking smile. I'm sure that if I was mortal, I would have been struck dead by his smile. He left the throne room, leaving me to try and catch my breath. I tried to remember what I promised my daughter a few moments ago, but I seem to have forgotten, and have no intention of remembering it.
