Hey guys, i'm back with a story which has been niggling at my brain for quite a while. Anyway please enjoy and tell me if you peeps want me to continue this. Am I the owner of Percy Jackson? No? Welp then, I don't own it.
Prologue
The Gods. Immortal being with unimaginable power. Ruling the lands of Greece after the defeat of their father, Kronos and the Titans. Zeus, God of the Sky was saved by his mother, Rhea after his birth and quickly was sent to Crete to be raised. Years later, Zeus became Kronos' cup bearer and fed the Titan King and mixture of mustard and wine, disgorging Zeus' older siblings. During the release of the elder Gods, Zeus declared war upon Kronos, fleeing Mount Othrys to prepare for war. After decades of bloodshed, Poseidon, God of the Seas bore the first child of the Gods in secret.
This is where his story begins.
Chapter 1
The cries of a baby boy echoed through the small cottage by the seaside of Greece. A young mother held her newborn son close to her, exhausted but happy after giving birth to a healthy beautiful child.
The new mother glanced up at her lover tiredly, "My Lord, our son is beautiful."
The man gave the woman a soft smile of comfort, "My dear Salice... he is gorgeous. A son worthy of the Gods."
Salice gently kissed her son on the temple and focused on his features. A small tuft of soft jet black hair, lightly tanned skin and gorgeous ocean-green eyes.
"He will be powerful..." The man whispered, "The strongest of all my children. Even if he is only a half-God."
"Lord Poseidon, what shall we do with our son? Will he not be hunted by Kronos' monsters from his scent?" Questioned Salice, quietly.
Poseidon sighed softly, "Yes he will be. I have been thinking about what to do and the best I can think of that will not alarm my siblings would be that we raise him in Crete just as my brother, Zeus was. That is where I shall train him."
Salice's eyes widened in nervousness and slight fear, "Surely, My Lord, you do not want Perseus to fight in the war?"
The immortal regarded his lover calmly, "Perseus?"
"Perseus." She nodded.
Poseidon chuckled softly, careful not to wake up his son, "Salice, you must realize that with the power Perseus contains he can decide and end the war with the Titans."
Salice laid a hand on the God's arm, squeezing it lightly, "Lord Poseidon, we do not know where Perseus fits in this world. The Fates lead him to where he is meant to be."
"Perhaps so." Poseidon admitted, "But he is the most powerful child of the Gods. His powers shall be unrivaled by any children of my siblings."
Salice pursed her lips, "If that is what you wish, My Lord."
Poseidon leaned in, giving his lover a chaste kiss on the lips and a soft one on his sleeping son's temple. "I shall be back in two days to move both of you to Crete, my love."
Salice closed he eyes as the immortal departed in a flash of light. She turned her attention to the sleeping baby in her arms. "My son, Perseus." The mother whispered and kissed her son on the forehead, "May the Gods bless you."
The second son of the Titan King leaned on a pillar, overlooking the Olympus, the home of the Gods. The Sea God lost himself with thoughts of his lover and son.
"Poseidon, is something troubling you?"
Poseidon glanced up, regarding his sister. "In due time, Demeter."
The Goddess raised a brow at the comment, "And pray to Chaos why you would say that?"
Poseidon breathed deeply, "The reign of the Titans will end sooner than we think, dear sister."
The Goddess of Agriculture narrowed her eyes at the Sea God, "What makes you say that?"
Poseidon hesitated and pursed his lips. "I may know a way to end this conflict, but I am not certain as of yet."
Demeter held a gasp of surprise, "By the Creator..." She whispered. "Did you actually...?"
"I do not know for certain." Poseidon argued. "I need time."
"What is though, Poseidon?" The Goddess pressed, "What is it that you need to figure out?"
The God stayed silent.
"Fined." Demeter huffed, "But you will tell me when you figure it out, yes?"
"Yes." Poseidon muttered.
"Swear it on the Styx." She demanded.
"I swear upon the River Styx that when I figure out if I can end the war that I will tell Demeter." Poseidon almost growled through clenched teeth.
Thunder boomed in the distance, sealing the oath.
Demeter smiled, "Come along, brother. Zeus, Hestia, Hades and Hera are awaiting our presence for the meeting." She said as she sauntered towards the throne room.
The Sea God signed deeply, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I hope to Chaos that Perseus can end this war and carnage." He whispered and followed his sister up the steps to meet with his siblings.
"That is enough for today, my son." The Ocean God said. "You have gotten much better with your senses with water."
The boy smiled tiredly and flopped down on his backside.
Poseidon chuckled, "Go on. Your mother will want you to be cleaned up for supper."
The boy groaned but obeyed, "Yes, father."
Perseus, Son of Poseidon and Salice resembled much of his father. Midnight black hair, windswept as if he spent of of his time at seaside, a golden tan, a lean body with muscle in the right places and ocean-green eyes, sparkling with mirth and power.
Fifteen years ago when Poseidon sealed the oath to Demeter, he had expected her to continue pestering him if he had figured out a way to end the war, yet she hadn't. Had she forgotten or does she just have a lot of patience to wait for Poseidon to tell her?
Poseidon, we require your presence for a war meeting
The God sighed unhappily, Yes, Hestia. I shall be there in a few moments.
Poseidon sauntered into the kitchen, where his lover was preparing supper. "Dear Salice, my siblings require my presence for a meeting upon Olympus. I shall return once our meeting is complete."
Perseus stumbled into the kitchen, flashing his parents a grin. "Are you staying for supper, father?"
The Sea God shook his head in disappointment. "Your aunts and uncles require me for a meeting but I will return as early as I can."
Perseus nodded, "Yes, father."
Salice kissed her lover on the lips, savoring the taste, "Return safely, my love."
Poseidon smirked slightly, "Do I not always, dear?"
The woman giggled and gave her lover an affectionate look, "I love you, Poseidon."
"I love you too, Salice. Now take care both of you and I shall return as early as I can." With that, the God flashed out of the small cottage in Crete.
The night wind howled quietly as Perseus slept. The son of Poseidon shivered slightly in his sleep as a light breeze swept over his slumbering form.
It is time, my son.
Perseus bolted up from his sleep to his father's voice in his mind.
Hera, Demeter and Hestia require help and only you are available to help them.
The eldest child of the Gods stumbled out of his cot, quickly changing into his armor and sheathing his sword, Anaklusmos.
"Where is it that my aunts require help, father?" Perseus whispered.
The room flashed brightly, to die down without a trace of the son of Poseidon.
And that's a wrap. Tell me what do you guys think?
