A/N;
Well, this is an idea that has been floating around in my cranium for quite some time, and I've finally decided to write it.
I hope it goes well, and I am glad to be back and am happy to announce that I can update whenever I feel like it and my previous complications no longer matter!
Well, without further a due, lets get this party started!
Zeus sat on this throne, rubbing his temples and doing his best to keep his temper in check. He hated council meetings.
Hated. Them.
After another good ten minutes, Zeus had finally had enough. "SHUT UP!"
Everybody Sat down quickly and quietly. Growling, Zeus looked over at Artemis and said, "Now, daughter, why have you called this meeting? I do hope that the matter is important."
The said Moon Goddess looked around the room, her gaze lingering on Poseidon for a moment longer than anybody else before she nodded and replied, "Yes, father. I have called this meeting for a very important reason." Once again, her gaze lingered on Poseidon. Zeus made a 'continue' motion with his hands, curiously wondering why his usually private daughter called the meeting.
Artemis steeled her nerves, swallowed, and continued. "As you all know, I am the goddess of childbirth. I am there with every maiden as she goes through it. A part of me is there, comforting her, so I see when a baby is born, and I can tell who its parents are by a glance. This goes for both mortals and half-bloods."
"Are you trying to tell us that you have had a kid sis? Because if you have, its about time." Apollo cut in while grinning, his pose supremely casual and uncaring.
Zeus began to stand up and glare at Artemis. Before he could open his mouth, Artemis cut in, "Of course not, Apollo. now shut you mouth before you get me in trouble for something I did not do!" Apollo put his hands up into a 'I surrender' positing and made the motion of zipping his mouth shut and throwing away the key. "if that is not the reason of this council, then what is it?"
Once again, the Moon goddess looked at her uncle, only this time, Poseidon caught her starring. The Sea god's grip on his trident increased dramatically. "The reason that I have called this meeting is because a another half-blood was born."
The room immediately rose up in chaos. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME!" Ares bellowed, "YOU CALLED THIS MEETING TO TELL US ABOUT ONE OF OUR CHILDREN! WE DON'T NEED A REMINDER WHEN OUR KIDS OUR BORN!"
"No, I have not." Artemis said steely, glaring at the war god until he sat down. Turning her attention to her father, Artemis pointed upward and said, "Father, do you thing you could perhaps...?"
Zeus nodded and fired a bolt of lightning into the sky, causing the entire sky to light up and silencing the room. "Thank you, father."
"Okay," Zeus said, sitting back down. "So if you didn't call this meeting to tell us about one of our children being born, the why did you call it."
"Because father, the oath of the big three was broken once more. Your brother Poseidon sired an heir. A baby boy by the name Percy Jackson."
Silence.
After several moments, Zeus exploded. "WHAT!" He roared. Grabbing his master bolt, he hefted it into the air, preparing to throw it and incinerate the newborn baby. "NOOOOO!" Poseidon yelled and launched himself off of his throne and slamming his body into his brothers in an attempt to save his son.
But the Sea god wasn't fast enough, Zeus threw the bolt quicker than even the god's eyes could follow.
The crack was deafening.
The gods all watched, some on horror, others with an impartial attitude, and some with excitement. But what they didn't see or notice was the fact that time itself seemed to slow down, until it had stopped moving on planet Earth.
Several dimensions away, a tall, dark, powerfully built man sat on a throne made from stardust with three aged ladies sitting in-front of him. After several moments of the four divine beings watching the frozen scene in-front of them, the man said, "The boy is powerful, for a half-god, at least."
"Yes," one of the three ladies replied, "and the Olympians' King is foolish. He wishes to kill the child, but his life is necessary to the survival of the Pantheon." The remaining two women muttered and nodded, "I have seen it," one added, as if to prove their point. The man nodded. "As have I. Do not forget, I have the Sight as well, granddaughter. And my vision is just as clear as yours."
The woman bowed her head in apology and turned to converse with her sisters once more. "What shall we do? We can't very well let the poor child die. If he dies, then so does the western hemisphere."
One of the sisters, the youngest of the three, raised a wrinkled eyebrow and said, "Simple, we remove the lightning bolt, or redirect its path to that of a different destination."
"Yes, but Zeus, despite all of his flaws, is an excellent marksman. To put it simply, he doesn't miss. If the intended target wasn't destroyed, he'd simply just throw the bolt again, and again, and again until the apartment was destroyed."
The other two sisters frowned at that and silence enveloped the four until one snapped their fingers. "We change the bolt, alter its magical properties so that once it strikes, it will give the boy powers, or simply split around him harmlessly."
The sisters starred at each other, before nodding in agreement. "But what to give? Let us let it strike the boy and empower him, so what shall we give him?"
"The power of Six." One suggested, holding up six fingers and morphing each finger into a letter.
"No, that blessing is for another."
"Krypton's blessing, perhaps?"
"Again, no."
"The power of the gods of thunder."
"Are you purposely proposing ideas that aren't possible?"
"Alter his genetics to make him appear different and be immune to and conduct electricity?"
"N-... possibly... all in favor?"
Three out of the four hands rose. "It's settled then. The bolt shall not kill him, but merely cha- My Lord, what are you doing?"
The attention of the three sisters was turned to the man sitting on the throne, who was now currently standing. "You are all fools." He said simply, causing the trio to bow their heads in shame, and in fear as well. Striding forward, the man pushed aside the ladies without a second thought until he was standing directly in-front of the bolt of lightning. "What is he planning to do?" Whispered one of the sisters softly, as to not disturb the man. The other two sisters looked at each other before saying, "I know not."
Suddenly, the mans had shot out, grabbing the bolt of lightning and he slowly began to tear it apart until it was in millions of microscopic pieces. He then began to spin his hands in a double helix motion, causing the particles to form into the shape of a long ever twisting cylinder. Once he had finished, he then proceeded to tap the center of the helix shape, causing the entire formation to shatter into thousands of tiny molecules. Starring around at the mass of particles surrounding him, the man clapped his hands once, causing the particles to begin to vibrate at a rapid pace. Satisfied, he snapped his fingers twice, causing the mass of matter to begin to spark, bolts of light flinging between the particles until they had all connected. Spreading his hands wide, the man quickly slammed them together, causing all of the particles to rush together, resulting in a massive explosion of light. Once the light had faded, where the lightning bolt had once been was a rod of dark matter; pure cosmic, nuclear, molecular energy.
He turned around and looked at the three women. "This..." he began, "Is the answer, the superior to the foolish, weakly thought-out plan you three had made."
Snapping his fingers, a bolt of lightning appeared in his hand, and the man fused the two items together. He then proceeded to replace the lightning bolt and walked over to the apartment where the young sleeping Percy Jackson was located. Ignoring the walls, the man phased straight through the wall, through the mother of the demi-god, and every other obstacle until he was in the babies room. Starring at the surrounding furniture, the man scoffed. Mortals, they were so puny, so frail, and yet, he admired them to the highest degree, they were probably by far his finest creation. Waving his hand, chemicals and other scientific solutions appeared throughout the room, most close to the boy. Turing around, the man flew out of the apartment until he had met up with the three women.
They stared at each other for sometime before the ladies gasped. "DO you know what you have just done! You have awoken power long forgotten, and have triggered similar events all around the globe, even in the boys future enemies."
"I am completely aware of the consequences of my actions, Lady fate. But do not forget, I am HE. I see all, I know all, I AM all. I know who will receive these powers as well, but, it is a risk I am willing to take." he responded.
"They defy fate, grandfather... they make the unexpected happen, fate is unclear now, his future is clouded. You may have just possibly doomed that boy to a terrible, hellish existence."
"Trust me..." The man began before turning around, and blinking. Suddenly time on Earth resumed, and the lightning bolt struck home, hitting the baby and causing the chemicals surrounding the child to explode and douse him. The cries from Poseidon could be heard by immortals all over the world and the screams of the mother as she rushed into the room were audible for miles around as she looked at the hole in her roof, chemicals covering the room, and her possibly dead baby boy.
"...It will all be worth it."
