Summary: Percy Jackson had been betrayed by everyone he considered friend in the span of a month. The gods turned their back on him, the campers took pleasure in beating him, and Kevin, a son of Zeus, made rumors of Percy that were completely untrue.
Percy could have dealt with all of it, but the final straw was when Annabeth Chase, Percy's girlfriend, kissed the son of Zeus. He left camp, unwanted and unwelcomed by the campers of Camp HalfBlood, unlocking a power hidden deep within him as he did so.
Not even two weeks later, he is given the choice to leave the only world he knows. To go and start a new life in a different dimension that Percy could only put into four words: "Lord of the Rings." A world with ogres and dwarfs and dark beings trying to take over the world.
Percy finds adventure and more than one type of love in this new world. He unleashes power that shouldn't exist for a demigod, joins an army, becomes a father, and unravels mysteries that were beyond forgotten and hidden.
These are his stories. His legends. His new life.

NO PERNICO(no hate tho)
Chapter One: Betrayal, Comfort, and Gifts
Percy hated camp. Odd. You would think hanging out with his friends and girlfriend everyday after the war with Gaia would be a thing to behold.
Sadly, that was not the case. Peace for Percy lasted a month. Max. It lasted until a child of Zeus came to camp two weeks into the month.
Percy had just said goodnight to Annabeth as she had an early morning when a scream echoed through the valley.
Without a second thought- or even waiting for his Wise Girl- he shot off towards the hill.
Percy got there just in time. A boy, maybe his age (Percy got angry- how did the gods miss this one?) and Alecto with her furies fighting. The boy was just barely defending himself with a four foot steel pipe.
"Alecto!" Percy shouted, not bothering to take out Riptide. Both her and her sisters stopped attacking and went down to him.
They were just as he remembered them. Leathery and old with bat wings. Yellow teeth and fangs stretching out of their mouth. Alecto changed into Ms. Dodds but Percy couldn't really see the change.
"Percy Jackson." She hissed though her heart wasn't really in it.
"Ms. Alecto Dodds." Percy said. "Huh, your name kind of makes sense now."
Ms. Dodds chuckled lightly at this. She had never met a demigod that could made her laugh.
"What is it that you need from us, Mr. Jackson?" She asked. Percy chuckled.
"I love how you have no mind for other demigods." He said sarcastically. He looked over to the demigod who was staring at him with fear and wonder while clutching his bleeding arm. "I need this one." Percy told her.
"And if we refuse?" Alecto challenged.
"Then I'll have to send you back to Hades. Without your consent." Percy replied.
Alecto sighed. 'If he only knew. The fates are cruel.' She thought to herself. "Very well. But you will regret saving him."
With that bit of cheerful and opinionated information, she and her sisters took flight and left a confused Percy to think, 'Why would I?'
He turned to the new demigod who stared after the Kindly Ones. He turned to Percy a few seconds later as Percy began to walk away.
"You coming or what?" Percy called over his shoulder. "Come with me or get eaten by monsters. It's amazing that I managed to get Alecto to not kill you."
They reached the camp to find an audience just over the hill with Annabeth in the lead. She gave him a questioning look and he gave one that clearly said 'Not Here'. But then Clarisse voiced the opinion of the crowd.
"Yo Prissy, what happened." Percy took a breath and chuckled.
"Nothing I couldn't handle." Percy said. "But we got a new guy..." Percy trailed off as a blue light shone from his left. He looked over to see a hologram lightning bolt floating above the new guy's head.
"What's your name, child?" Chiron asked as he came up from the crowd.
"K-Kevin." The boy stuttered.
Chiron's voice echoed through the valley. "Hail Kevin, son of Zeus, bringer of storms, lightning, and King of the gods."
Chiron bowed and everyone got on one knee to bow. Except for Percy. He did a bow but he did not touch the ground. Not that he thought that he was better than the son if Zeus but that everyone had to earn respect, not just be blindly given it. Even Zeus.
Kevin straightened up at everyone bowing. He could get used to this. Then he saw the kid that talked to those monsters. He just dipped his head and left and went over to the horse-man.
He hated guy. Who was he to not bow? And the way he just talked to those...things. And why did he not tell the people that he talked to them? Was it a bad thing?
Suddenly, like someone was whispering in his ear, a plan came to him. He would destroy this guy. He should have given him the respect he deserved.
LineBreak
"Chiron." Percy called. Everyone had begun to get up from bowing and Annabeth walked over to him. Giving her a quick kiss on the lips, he continued to talk to Chiron.
"I need to go to Olympus." Both Annabeth and Chiron looked confusingly at him. He sighed. "Kevin's got to be at least my age. Maybe a few months younger."
Realization dawned on both of their faces. "Zeus broke his oath. Again." Chiron said. Okay. Wrong realization.
"No." Annabeth told him. "Percy's Oath. Zeus broke that one as well. Besides, that first oath was discarded when Percy asked- told- them to get rid of it."
Percy jumped in here. "That means Lady Styx has an oath after this kid." Percy paused then continued. "Maybe I can convince Zeus to take a punishment?"
"I'm afraid not Percy." Chiron corrected. "The Styx doesn't work like that. Because it cannot deal a swift and rightful punishment to the King of the Gods it will take it out on the child of the oath. Slowly and most likely painfully."
Percy sighed. "Fine. But I'm still going to go up there so Zeus can answer a lot of questions."
And Percy did. The next morning Argus drove him to the Empire State Building and he went up to Olympus.
There he met Zeus along with Hera. They were in a heated arguement.
"Hera-"
"Don't 'Hera' me!" She snapped. "Another one! Really? How old is this one?"
Percy chose this opportune moment to cut in. "Maybe my age. Possibly younger."
Both gods looked at him. Zeus in anger and Hera... Was that gratitude?
"What are you doing here, Perseus?" Hera asked. While he was still a little pissed for the stunt she pulled, he could understand why she did it.
"Same subject. Different prerogative." Percy told her. She scrunched her eyebrows in confusion and he elaborated.
"Your husband broke my oath. Every kid had to be claimed at twelve." Percy said exaggerating the sentence. He was seriously pissed off. But he only showed it a bit.
"Though," he continued, "I suppose it's happy news for you seeing as how the Lady Styx is out for her oath. That means that the child will have a very hard life ahead of him."
Percy smiled at Zeus' continuing to pale face. "That's all I came to say." He strolled out of the doors but not before he heard Hera say, "He's my favorite."
LineBreak
The next few weeks turned bad drastically. News had somehow got out that he had talked to Alecto and her sisters but with a twist. That Percy actually considered letting them kill Kevin.
No one but the more easily swayed bought the story. Still, it was about half the camp. Percy's friends (which somehow included Clarisse) began to hate Kevin. The way he acted like he was better than everybody.
Then as the month wore on, they all began to side with him. Kevin changed their minds with a technique that had so many possibilities. He controlled the electrical currents in the brain to influence thoughts and memories.
The gods came often in order to make up for lost years. Then even they began to hate Percy. Every single one- even Poseidon- claimed that Percy did something to him. Well, except Hades and Hestia. They didn't come at all so they weren't effected.
It was at the campfire when Poseidon showed up. He claimed that Percy killed a mermaid, but when Percy replied "Why would I do that?" Poseidon got enraged.
"I, Poseidon, hereby renounce you as my son." He said.
Percy felt the sea slowly start to leave him but an inner part of him screamed, "NO!"
The sea came back to him and Poseidon made a confused face. Why would the sea not obey him? The sea raged at him.
Soon campers would corner Percy in secluded spots and beat him. Percy didn't say anything. He actually didn't fight back so he wouldn't hurt them.
But they pushed their limits when they carved 'Murderer' onto his side. He eventually exploded.
It happened during lunch. Chiron and Annabeth were in the Big House discussing plans for an expansion of the camp.
Percy walked in to the pavilion to eat lunch. He had just come from the beach had he needed to heal. Unfortunately, it did leave the scar on his side.
When the niads saw it they desperately wanted to tell Chiron and Annabeth but Percy ordered them not to unless in extreme circumstances.
So he walked into the pavilion ignoring the dirty looks he got from the occupants.
He sat down at the Poseidon table and got his usual burger and blue coke when Kevin spoke up, "Still talking to monsters?"
It was condescending and mocking and Percy knew he shouldn't answer but he just couldn't help himself to make some smart ass comment.
"Yeah," he said. "We were discussing where to watch the game on Sunday. Maybe you got a place in mind?"
Everyone got quiet and suddenly the whispers started.
"Did he actually admit-"
"Game on Sunday-"
"Best place-"
Kevin spoke over the crowd. "So you admit you talk to monsters?"
"Only the ones that can talk too." Percy said. Apparently it wasn't the right thing to say as the whispers got louder.
"Percy?" He froze. No. It couldn't be. She hated it when he talked to monsters. One of the reasons he never told her he does.
It was in Tartarus when he first began to talk to monsters. Annabeth hated it. She made him promise never to do it again.
For some reason they listened to him. At least the ones that couldn't speak words.
"Annabeth-" He tried.
"No!" She screamed. "You promised. And you broke it."
She ran off with Kevin shortly after her. He didn't notice as he ran toward the entrance into the pavilion.
He would have made it if Leo didn't tackle him from behind. He straddled Percy's waist and began to rain down punches on his back.
"You. Made. Her. Cry." Each word was met with a punch. Percy didn't feel it. He could only think of Annabeth and the heavy ring in his pocket.
His pocket. The ring.
"Enough!" Percy yelled. There was a blast of cold air and Leo flew off.
Percy felt weirder. Warm and cold at the same time. Meanwhile, the campers couldn't believe what they were seeing. It was Percy, but it wasn't.
He got up and he was different. Little specks of white swirled around him and the ground began to get covered in white frost. But that wasn't the half of it.
His hair turned a snowy white and his eyes glowed. But the more you stared you could see them changing as well. From their enchanting sea-filled green to a cold and frost of a blue.
"You. Will. Leave. Me. Alone." Percy said. He was pissed any moron could see that. "I didn't do anything you guys are accusing me of. So back the hell off!"
He felt himself have the cold leave him, away deep inside. It was still there but if he didn't focus he would never know it was there.
With that he walked out of the pavilion. He thought about where Annabeth could be. Her cabin? No. The beach? More likely.
So he headed to the beach and stopped once he saw her. With Kevin. They were close together as Annabeth sobbed. The cold began to get painful in Percy's chest as Kevin reached his arm around her and pulled her closer.
Annabeth looked at Kevin, his intent clear as day. But she didn't deny him. Percy broke his promise. Couldn't this be his punishment?
Kevin's and Annabeth's lips met and she knew it was wrong. She just didn't care.
Percy on the other hand was livid. She kissed him. SHE KISSED HIM! Before he had any say in the matter the cold took over. It made him think differently.
He felt him change. As though he was an entirely different person. And it felt good.
He felt a moment of clarity, then he felt anger. No, rage. Undeniable fiery rage. Without making a sound, he let out that anger.
The ground around him froze in an instant. It began to reach in all directions, cracking grass and twigs under the stress of the ice.
Annabeth broke the kiss and turned. Standing a couple yards away was Percy. But it wasn't exactly Percy.
His hair was snow white and his eyes were cold and a frost of a blue. His stature changed. He wasn't sad- Annabeth could easily tell that- but angry. So very angry.
She followed his line of sight and it landed right on Kevin. Would he hurt the son of Zeus? Annabeth was brought out of her thoughts as Percy spoke.
"I hope you're happy." He said. "But next time don't wait for me to show up."
Percy pulled the ring from his pocket. It was beautiful. The band was blue with two gray stones on the top. Gold intricate designs followed the inside of the band. He tossed it to her. No power was evident but to Annabeth it was like a cannonball hit her hand.
Percy walked off as Annabeth began to silently cry. Kevin looked at Percy, questions roaming wild through his head. Of course he decided to be the man and protect his woman.
"Hey!" Kevin yelled. "Don't talk to her like that!"
"Beat it kid!" Percy snapped. "I don't want to deal with your shit."
That brought Annabeth out of her stupor. This wasn't her Percy. He wouldn't be like that. He would never be like that. There was still hope.
Percy was still walking away and Kevin ran to meet him. He gripped Percy's arm and immediately recoiled. His hand burned from ice that spread across it. It fell apart and Kevin stared at it. Then he screamed.
Percy kept walking. Straight out the border with no one to stop him. He stopped short of Thalia's Tree and took out his pen.
Riptide. It had been his lifeline for so long. It saved his life since before he even knew about gods and monsters.
He may have claimed it but it didn't belong to him. So he decided to give it back.
"I, Percy Jackson, forfeit my right to this sword and return it to its rightful owner Zoë Nightshade."
The pen's form shimmered and turned into a blue hair clip. It looked exactly like it did in his dream all those years ago; he was almost regretful to let it go. But he steeled his resolve and let it go.
Riptide disappeared without a sound. Percy looked up to the sky and could see the Huntress gleam in the noon light.

Percy continued on for two weeks before he came in contact with people. Well... It was only Hestia but still. Percy was happy.
"Hello Perseus." She said. She was in her twelve year old form sitting by an open flame.
"Lady Hestia." Percy replied. He was back to normal. Or at least he was back to his old self. Black hair and green eyes. "What are you doing here?"
"Looking for you Perseus." She replied. She could see the change in her favorite demigod. He was split. As if he was two different people.
"How many times have I told you to call me Percy?" He told her. It felt good to have someone to talk to. He's been alone for the last two weeks. No monsters. No people.
Hestia chuckled despite her unease towards the demigod. His physical change when he "split" had her worried. That and him being betrayed made him unpredictable.
"Too many to count." Hestia replied. "I actually came here with a gift."
"Is it food?" Percy asked. He hadn't eaten in two days.
"No." Hestia laughed. "It's not. But it will help you keep the other you inside."
The air around Percy became a couple degrees colder. "What do you mean 'other you'?" He asked.
"The way you've been... It's almost like a god." She sighed. "The two different personalities... I came to give you a gift. A way to... reign in the other you. Will you accept?"
Percy thought about it. To be honest, now that he was back to his normal self, his other side scared him. He nodded.
"Good." Hestia said. "Now it can be a little painful." She began to mutter a few things on ancient greek. Percy only caught the phrase 'Warmth of the Hearth'.
When she finished Percy felt warmer. Homey and all that. The air temp returned to normal.
"There. All you need to do is think of the hearth and its heat and you can return to normal. Or this version of you."
"Version?" Percy asked. He could follow up all the way until 'version'. "What's that supposed to mean?"
Hestia paled. "I'm afraid I cannot tell you that. It's not my place. But here." She handed him a tissue out of nowhere.
"Why would I need this?" Percy questioned. He was so focused on figuring out Hestia's comment that he didn't realize he had begun to cry. Only when he felt it drop onto his cheek did he get Hestia's meaning.
"Why am I cying?" He didn't get it. He hadn't cried once since he left. Why now, all of a sudden?
"Because you need to, Hero." Hestia said. "You have been switching to the other you every time you think about your betrayal."
So he did. He let it out. All the sadness, grief, and heartache. The anger, despair, and fury.
It was nearly an hour later when he stopped crying. He sat there feeling better than he had for weeks.
"Sorry Lady Hestia." He apologized. "I don't know what came over me."
"Nonsense, Perseus." She said. "It's always best to grieve at the hearth."
"It's Percy." Percy corrected automatically. Hestia smiled, happy that some of his old light shone through.
"Now," Hestia said. "There are three more gifts that some want to give you."
There were three flashes of light and Percy couldn't believe the three gods that were there. Hades, Aphrodite, and Hera stood there in robes.
"Hello Perseus." Hera greeted. Percy didn't get it. The last time he saw her she blamed him for hitting Argus. She looked like she hated his guts. Now she looked like none of that even happened.
"Lady Hera. Lord Hades. Lady Aphrodite." Percy greeted. "What are you doing here?"
"We are here to give you the gifts previously mentioned." Hades said gruffly. "Whatever has been happening to the gods happened to Nico as well. He's pretty mad at you." Percy winced. "In fact, of I hadn't blocked the shadows then he would have found you by now."
"I appreciate it Uncle." Percy said. "Even though I have no idea why he would be angry."
"Perseus." Aphrodite called. "I wish for you to know that I had no part in what happened."
Percy nodded absent mindly. "Lady Aphrodite why don't you hate me anymore?"
Aphrodite sighed. "I started to doubt you did any of those things when Hestia spoke up at the council meeting. Then when I felt the... incident, I knew something was wrong. I took my assumptions to Hera and she agreed."
"So we came here." Hera finished. "With gifts."
"What kind of gifts?" Percy questioned suspiciously.
Hades stepped forward. "The ability to hide in shadows along with basically being a human lie detector." Hades clasped Percy's shoulder and Percy felt a wave of naussia hit him.
Hades stepped to the side and Aphrodite came up. "My gift is better." She said. "I'm going to give you a middle ground for this you and other you."
A mirror appeared. It was wide and tall. It could easily put three people in it. Aphrodite turned to Percy.
"Now," Aphrodite said. "I need you turn into other you so I have a model."
While the gods looked at eachother uneasily, Percy only nodded. He closed his eyes and brought the cold to the surface.
When he opened his eyes the gods gasped. Aphrodite squealed. "Oh my gods this will be AWESOME!"
Percy looked at himself in the mirror. To say he was shocked was an understatement. His wind-blown, raven black hair turned into a blizzard hazard, snowy white. His eyes went from his sea green to a frosty blue. His unnaturally tan complexion paled considerably; he was almost as pale as Khione.
"You remind me of someone." Hades told him. "His name was Jack Frost."
Percy gaped. "Wait. There really was a Jack Frost? I thought he was as real as Santa Claus. Or the Tooth Fairy."
Then Percy chided himself. He's met greek, roman, egyptian-greek gods. Why not the male version of Elsa.
"Ooh!" Aphrodite squealed. "We should totally name you that. Instead of saying 'Other You' all the time, we should say Jack Frost!"
Everyone looked at her. Then Hestia broke out into a large grin. "That's perfect!" She screamed. "But names have power. You know that."
"We can still call him Frost." Hades said with an unusual smirk on his face.
"You do know I'm standing right here?" Percy- Frost asked. "And for the record I like the name Frost."
"Done." Aphrodite exclaimed. When Frost looked in the mirror he saw three people. One was Percy, the other Frost, and the middle one looked like a mix of both.
The mix had Percy's black hair with numerous streaks of white throughout the mass. A medium complexion spread across his skin. He was about 6"5 and built. Lean, like a swimmer.
"Okay." Aphrodite said. "Now close your eyes and try to bring the heat and the cold to the surface. Equally."
So he did. Percy/Frost brought both the heat and cold to the same level. He felt something happen.
When he opened his eyes and saw the mix staring back at him. His eyes were switching between a hurricane-like green to a blizzard-like blue.
"Perfect!" Aphrodite said, though for the gods there it was needless.
After the gods got over their shock Hera stepped forward. "It is time for my gifts young Hero."
Hera made two swords and scabbards appear from nothing. "These," she said, "are from the strongest olympian metal there is. Forged by Hephaetus and blessed by Ares to never dull nor stain."
She handed the blades to him and he almost cried until Aphrodite yelled, "Percy Frost! That's what we'll call this form!"
Percy gave a laugh and it felt good. He hadn't laughed in a long time. A month tomorrow if he was correct.
"How did you get them to do this?" Percy asked.
Hera shrugged. "I lied and said it was for the son of Zeus, Kevin."
As soon as she said his name, the ground froze around them. Frost began to spread on the surrounding trees and the fire wasn't hot enough to keep the cold away; it froze instantly, like a sculpture.
Percy quickly thought of the warmth of the hearth and everything went back to normal.
He was still in his mix form and was taking shakey breaths. "Sorry..." He breathed. "It's... getting hard. To. Breathe."
Hestia suddenly had an idea. "Percy, put the cold back."
Percy did what she asked. The cold went back to its place deep inside. Percy could instantly breathe again. He was back to his normal self but he was still 6"5.
"You'll have to practice being in that form," Hestia said. "It can put a lot of strain on your body."
Percy nodded as Hera interjected. "Percy," she said quietly, "I have one more gift if you will accept it."
"What is it?" Percy asked suspiciously.
"A way out of this world." She said.
"What do you mean? 'Cause I'm not ready to die just yet."
Hera sighed. "I mean a way out into another dimension. Another world unlike our own."
Percy, being the person he is, slowly nodded still trying to comprehend.
"Where will I be?" Percy asked.
"A place that only exist in books." Hera said. "Elves, ogres, dwarves, giants, humans, and beings of both dark and light."
"So like," Percy said slowly. "Lord of the Rings?"
Hera sighed while the god and goddesses behind her chuckled and giggled. "Yes, Perseus," she said. "Just like Lord of the Rings."
Percy nodded and took a moment to speak. "I accept your gift Lady Hera."
Hera nodded and swirled her hand in some motion, muttering words in some older than thou language.
A golden ripple appeared between two trees and before Percy went through, he gave every goddess a hug and Hades a firm handshake.
Aphrodite hugged Percy longer than he liked so he was uneasy. Before he jumped in Hera gave him one last bit of advice, "Perseus. You must be careful. This world is in a lot of turmoil, much like you. The races are segregated and enemies. Here, take this," she handed him a blue backpack. "Inside will help you survive. And Percy," he looked at her to see a mix of emotions; he couldn't decipher one. "Think about it."
With that, she pushed him through the portal and he landed on his back from nowhere. He stared at the sky covered with the tops of trees and their branches.
He blacked out.
