Poseidon's POV
Something is wrong. I knew it the moment I neared the apartment. The smell of death and decay overcomes my senses as I hurry down the rain soaked sidewalk, my heart racing in fear for my love and young son.
I enter the apartment to find the furniture thrown about, dirt and blood soaking the floors. I can feel my heart start to shatter, the rain comes down harder outside and waves crash down upon the shores as my fear risens.
I step over the remains of my and Sally's home heading towards the nursery where I knew she would be with our young son, Perseus.
I stop in my tracks when I see the form of Sally lying in the hall. I kneel down beside her, tears running down my cheeks as I try to ignore the bloody and how mangled her body was.
"I am so sorry my darling. I will always love you." I kiss her head and close her eyes gently with my thumbs as tears continue to run down my cheeks. Stepping over her I head into the nursery where my son would durley be and what I see stops me dead in my tracks. Lying on the floor burnt crisp is a monster that is now unidentifiable and in the crib is my son radiating with power like no other demigod before.
His small face is scrunched up in pain as he sobs his little heart out.
"Sh Perceus. Daddy is here now." I pick him up from his crib and rock him back in fourth in my arms soothing him. I can feel power radiating from him, confirming my worst fears. He is the demigod the prophecies talk about, he is the demigod that is more god than human. The demigod with power that would some day be equivalent to a gods'.
I quickly grab a bag from one of the shelves and fill it with whatever I can find that I know he will need, for we will never be coming back here. He can not stay here without risking things worse than death. Confirming my fears the sounds of footsteps hurrying into the aparemet fills my fears for my young son. Holding him tightly to my chest I will is to the throne room of Olympus leaving the grisley scene behind us.
I can feel the eyes of the other Olympians on me as I appear with the small child in my arms.
"Call an emergency meeting." I order my brother Zeus ignoring the look of hatred and anger he is sending my way. He does as I ask and I try to sooth my restless son his sea green eyes looking up at me tears at their brims and his little lip trembling.
I notice all the other Olympians appear in the throne room, including my other brother Hades ruler of the Underworld.
"What is the meaning of this?! You broke our deal?" Zeus snAPS his voice booming like thunder.
"Both of you have already broke it so don't snap at me brother. " I hiss back meeting each of their gazes. "Yes I know about Thaila, Nick and Bianca."
"Yes and their fates our clear they will aall suffer greatly and die young but what of this child?" Athena asks walking over to me and my son. She carefully moves the blanket with her finger exposing Perseus's sleepy green eyes. His eyes suddenly flash a firey red color, then an electric blue before returning to their normal sea green.
"He's the child. The demigod that is more god than man. I would have thought it be a son of Zeus. Does he have all of our abilities?" she asks her gray eyes meeting mine.
"He has only shown shown powers of the sea and heat, but I do believe he can do more. If the stories are true then will have all of our abilities. He needs us to teach him, he isn't safe on earth. All ready he has been attacked. His mother is dead. We can leave him to be raised by mortals. Not to mention Kronis and Gaia are going to want him when they find out if they don't already know. He needs us." I plea with my fellow Olympians and family.
"He is defiantly more powerful than any demigod I have seen and if the prophecy is right he is going to need our protection. I can sense that he is at least 3\4 god. We can't send a boy of that power even to the camp without some proper training overy his abilities. Father... " Athena looks up at Zeus her eyes begging for him to understand.
"If he's so powerful then why not just destroy him?" Ares asks glaring at my son.
"You will not touch a hair on my son's head." I snap at him my trident appearing as I glare at Ares daring him to argue with me as I hold my son protectively close to my chest.
"Having a hand in his raising could benefit us. He will be the only demigod ever raised on Olympus. If we send him out and he turns against us we might not be able to stop him and killing him is impossible. At most we would put him to sleep for a century. His body heals it will not die." Athena reasons.
"Plus we could use some youth around here. It might be good for us all to have a hand in his raising. It might even make it easier for some of us to cope with not being able to raise our own children." Hestia offers smiling at the small bundle in my arms.
"Plus he's adorable!" Aphrodite squeals coming over to me and gently taking Perseus' tiny with her finger.
"All in favor of raising the 3\4 god here on Olympus?" Zeus asks, and to my surprise all hands rise in the air. "We'll have to work out a schedule for the child so we can still do our godly duties and take care of him."
"He can spend a week in Atantis, 2 weeks here in Olympus and a weekend in the Underworld before it begins again. That way we can all have a handl in his raising." Athena offers.
"Sounds fine to me. Poseidon? " Zeus looks at me questioning considering the child in question is my son.
"Sounds fine but to start off he'll have to stay here so I can sort somethings out at home. " I reply even though it breaks my heart at the idea of leaving my young son.
"What is the entire story of the kid?" Apollo asks rising from his throne to come see the new member of our family.
"Prophecies have spoken of a demigod that will be 3\4 god. Death cannot touch him touch but he can be harmed, is severely he will fall into a sleep that will heal him for days or even years. He will have the abilities of all the top gods and goddesses. His abilities getting stronger as he ages, until at 18 he will stop and become immortal, truly reaching god level. He will either bring the gods together or tear them apart. He will end us or strengthen us. A child of one of The Big Three with the abilities of us all could be our end or new beginning." Athena recites almost exactly.
"Dang he's going to be one tough lititle dude." Apollo grins as he let's Percy suck on his thumb.
"Which is exactly why we must keep him safe. Him leaving into the mortal world would immediately put him at risk. He's like a beacon to our enemies and if he falls into the wrong persons grasps...they had already been looking for him and he's just a babe. He lost his mother tonight because of it." my heart wrenches at the thought of harm coming to my son.
"Which is why the boy, Perceus, will not leave our realms. We will raise and train him. He is now our family and we will treat him as such." Zeus gives Ares and Dioneysis pointed looks. Before turning his gaze to my son. "Welcome to the family little one."
