An Assassin's Bloodline

by RedScotch

Percy Jackson has been an orphan all his life, until he meets his father, Axios, the god of assassins. Under Axios's tutelage, Percy learns to hate the gods, and becomes a ruthless killer that will stop at nothing to crush the Olympians under his feet. But when Percy is sent to infiltrate Camp Half-Blood, will he have a change of heart? AU. Pairing is undetermined.

1. Prologue

A small five-year-old boy ran through a thick forest, his dark yellow eyes gleaming as he gracefully darted past trees with unnatural skill. Behind him, something heavy crashed through the forest, and the five year old glanced over his shoulder, anxiety evident on his features. Clutched in the boy's right hand was a dented silver revolver, and in the other hand the boy clutched a small bronze knife. Suddenly, the child tripped over a hidden root, slamming his head against the ground. Dazed, the boy could only look up in fear as a Laistrygonian giant burst through the woods, a huge bronze club resting in one of the monsters hand. The giant swung his club at the disoriented boy, and time seemed to slow down. The boy leaped onto the club, before cartwheeling onto the giant's shoulders and plunging his bronze knife deep into the creature's neck. The giant howled in pain, before slowly dissolving into gold dust. Completely exhausted, the boy fell to his knees, panting. He never saw the second giant swing its club at him. Suddenly, the giant evaporated into dust mid-swing, its club falling to the floor. The noise startled the boy, and he whirled around, moving into a fighting stance. In front of him was a tall man with black hair and yellowish eyes that gleamed with power.

"Ah," The main said, eyeing the boy with approval. "I'm glad to know that my son has inherited my abilities." The boy looked at the man in confusion. He didn't have any parents. He had been an orphan as long as he could remember. "You don't remember me?" The man asked, and boy nodded. "It's for the best. One day, you will have a great destiny." The man stepped toward the boy, trembling with anticipation. "You will be the one who topples the Olympians, you will be the one to give me a name." The man took another step closer. "You will be my champion, Percy. You will become legend." The man snapped his fingers, and all of a sudden, the boy fell to ground, fast asleep. "You will have to survive first, Percy." The man said to the sleeping boy. "But then, you will have a great legacy. You will be a true son of Axios, the god of assassins."

Hey guys, this is RedScotch444. This has been an idea that has been running in my head for some time, and I hope you liked it. By the way, Axios means "worthy" in Greek, so it's kind of fitting. And yes, Percy Jackson is the son of the god of assassins. I already have most of the plot written out, as well as some cool powers that Percy might have, him being the son of Axios, but I'm always open to suggestions, so feel free to PM or review! BTW, Percy's mother will be discovered in the future. Remember to follow, favorite, and review! Thanks! RedScotch Out!
