The Giant War had finally ended. It meant deaths, wounded, damages, mourning, and celebrations. Everyone was celebrating the end of the war. Everyone except Percy.
Percy had lost many people. His parents to death. Comrades in arms to death. His girlfriend to Renya. His best friends never hang out anymore. He was depressed.
He was sitting on the beach of Camp Half-Blood, listening to music to drown out the celebrations.
Nothings alright
He bobbed his head to the music.
If you look closely at him, you could see deep, dark bags underneath bloodshot eyes from alcohol and crying.
We are the ones; The ones you left behind
His once sun-kissed skin, now a sickly pale.
Look Ma I finally made it; This world is too damn jaded
Unruly black hair, muddled with sweat, grease, and grime.
We watched him drink his life away; a little at a time
His once beautiful facial features, now sunken in and hollow.
I hate you; I love you; I hate that I love you
His skin, riddled with scars, in life threatening and internal wars.
Its where my demons hide; It's where my demons hide
He wears clothes that once fit, now baggy and hangs off his form.
Low on self-esteem, so you run on gasoline
He stands up, shakily, with cold hands holding onto the flask, and moves to walk but was engulfed in a bright, golden light. At the same time, so was the rest of the seven prophesy children, Nico, Renya, Thalia, and Grover.

"Mother Rhea liked me better!"
"Air disasters are better than Sea disasters!"
"Why did I have to be stuck in the Underworld!"
"Zeus! How dare you cheat on again!"
"Quiet!" The sound echoed through the thrown room. "Do you hear that? It's coming from up there." Athena said, pointing to the roof. The faint, "Ahhh" that Athena was hearing, was growing louder and louder.
A pop echoed throughout the room. The gods and goddesses stared dumbfounded at what was happening; people were falling down from the roof. athena recovered her wits first and made a huge safety net appear to catch them. The fell 20ft and landed on the net. The heroes of old and new; recovered and climbed off the net.
"How dare you interrupt a winter solstice meeting!" Zeus boomed.
Annabeth stepped forward and asked, "Milord, what do you mean? You summoned us, did you not?"
A note fluttered in front of Annabeth and was snatched out of the air. "Read it." demanded Zeus.
Dear gods and demigods,
We, the Fates and Rhea, sent the people before you, in time. The reason why is simple, to read books we send you, redo your mistakes, and to act like parents. You will read all the books we send you. When you are done with the first one, we will send another. Get along with the demigods. No harming them when the introductions are done. You need to summon Amphitrite and Triton. Yes, we did say for to act like parents.
I, Rhea, like Demeter more. By the way, Percy needs nectar and water.
The Fates and Rhea
The gods and goddesses were shocked when the Fates and Rhea told them that they could be parents. Poseidon summoned his son and wife and informed them of what was happening. Hestia produced water and nectar for Percy without questions. He drank the water and nectar and his eyes lost the redness. (A/N: Percy can't get drunk unless he wants to but he gets more impulsive and loses full control over his brain-to-mouth filter.)
Hera spoke up, " Will you please introduce yourselves."

Secretly Triton, really deep down, was pleased that he had a brother. He along, Poseidon, and secretly Amphitrite, deep down, worried about Percy and the fact that he looked depressed.
The gods flashed their children to their thrones. The boys, except Percy, was flashed to their parent's arms of their thrones and the girls and Percy on their parents lap. Renya was flashed beside Hestia and Grover to Dionysus' arm of his thrown.
"Father, who will read first." Athena questioned.
A book landed gently on Hestia's lap.
That answered that questioned. Thought Leo
Once it was deadly silenced, Hestia began to read.
"Percy Jackson and The Olympians. Book One; The Lightning Thief."
She flipped to the correct page.
