Hello my dear readers! It has been quite awhile since I've sat down and written something, so hopefully it goes well! (really don't read fan fiction made by others, so hopefully this isn't an overused topic)

The beginning of the end

Sirens wailed in the distance, getting closer by the second. A young black haired boy was kneeling down next to a motionless female body.

"Mommy!"He sobbed as he shook the women's arm,"Mommy wake up!" he continued to shout in between his crying.

The sounds of someone walking through puddle echoed in the background.

The sirens came to a halt, and now the sound of the footsteps became even louder.

Letting go of his mother's arm, the young boy stopped his crying, and wiped his eyes with his sleeve. Getting up off the ground the young boy look to his right and left.

"Hello?" the boy sniffled,"who's there?"

The footsteps stopped and everything went quiet. The boy shrugged his shoulder and turned back around to face his mother's corpse, but to his surprise the body was gone.

The boy frantically looked around for his mother, but he could not find her. Just as he had given up, a hand was placed on his right shoulder, jumping around out of shock, the boy was face with a partially decomposed version of the women who was just on the ground.

"You could've saved me Percy,"The voice shrieked.

"I know,"Percy cried as he shook his head,"I'm sorry mom. I'm so sorry." Percy placed his head in his hands as he continued to cry.

"You should be," a demonic male voice laughed

Taking his head out of his hands, Percy was met with a cloaked man with piercing red eyes.

The man took out a bronze like dagger as he continued to laugh.

Percy, not able to move as he seemed to be frozen in place watched in horror as the man slight his throat.

Grabbing his throat, Percy fell to the ground.


Percy jolted up out of shock, sweat running down his forehead as he continued to breath heavily. Quickly checking his neck for any damage, he sighed with relief upon finding there was no gash in his throat.

"Just another bad dream,"He mumbled to himself as he took one last deep breath, before slowly exhaling.

Percy unzipped his sleeping back before getting out of it. Throwing it to the corner of the tent, he made his way to the tents entrance.

Unzipping the front, Percy stepped out onto the wet grass. Stretching out his arms, he let out a short yawn

"Such a beautiful morning,"he said to himself as he looked around at his surrounds.

There were plenty of maple and pine trees scattered around the area he was currently at, there was a nice stream flowing a couple meters behind which was useful for falling to sleep and supplying him with water. He had set up a small fire pit about five meters from his tent with a stainless steel pot hanging from a metal hooked that was wrapped around the pit.

Walking over to the pit, Percy frowned at the sight of his fire.

"Of course you couldn't stay lit for a few more hours,"he sighed,"I knew I shouldn't have slept in."

Percy had always hated wasting his time trying to start a fire manually, he just recently ran out of matches so he had to rely on dead tree bark fibers and good old luck

Poking the ashes with a metal rod, Percy eyes widen at the sight of a still smoking piece of wood. Rushing over to his pile of tree fibers, Percy threw a bunch on the smoldering piece of wood. Blowing as hard as he could, Percy spent a good three minutes on his knees blowing the wood before it finally caught the fibers on fire.

"YES!"he shouted in victory.

Grabbing some more fibers, he tossed some more on before adding a few sticks to get it going. After a few more minutes the fire was alive once more.

"Thank god,"Percy sighed with relief,"I don't know who to thank but whoever it is I love you!"

Throwing a few logs onto the now growing fire, Percy decided it was time to gather some water. Grabbing the pot, Percy made his way over to the stream.

Placing his pot into the water, he waited until it was half full before taking it out and placing it beside him.

Percy took a second to enjoy the soothing sound of the stream running.

"Wouldn't trade this for anything,"he said happily.

Picking the pot back up, he brought it back to the fire and placed it on the hook.

"Now for the meat."

Grabbing the metal rod, Percy left his camp site once more. He walked for a good minute before he heard a slow noise that sounded like an animal.

"Oh don't fucking tell me a bear got the meat!" He grumbled as he slowly walked towards the sound.

Dropping the metal rod, Percy took out a black token. Squeezing it in the palm of his left hand, Percy whispered something and a perfectly carved black bow appeared.

The bow seemed to be dripping some sort of black substance as he held it firmly in his left hand.

Making a move forward, Percy pushed the berry bush out of the way as he walked over it.

Upon making it over, Percy was met with a large black dog.

Percy rolled his eyes and sighed,"for fuck sakes really?"

The large dog stopped chowing down on hunks of deer meat at the sound of Percy's voice. Turning around it began to growl as it noticed Percy standing there.

"Oh shut up you mutt,"Percy snarled,"don't you know who I am?"

The dog only growled louder as it prepared to lunge at any second.

Shaking his head slowly, Percy formed some sort of shadow in his hand before placing it on his face. A black hood formed over his head and with it all the light around Percy's face. Percy eyes were the only thing glowing out of the shadows that seemed to from inside the hood. Unlike the typical sea green color, they glowed a light red one.

"Recognize me now," he grumbled, his voice now deeper and darker then it was seconds ago.

The dog kept growling in response

"Whatever then,"Percy sighed.

Pulling back the string on his bow, a dark shadow like arrow appeared. Just as the dog lunged, Percy released the arrow. The arrow flew for a few seconds before piercing the dogs chest. The animal dropped dead instantly, and within seconds it dissolved into a pile of golden dust.

"Bloody Hellhounds,"Percy complained as he took off the hood and threw the shadow ball away, it dissipating into thin air.

Percy muttered something under his breath and his bow turned back into the black coin it had been but moments ago. Placing it in his pants pocket, he made his way over to the scattered meat that was left from the hellhound's feast.

"Just perfect,"He sighed as he picked through the meat to see if anything was left untouched.

Luckily there was in fact one piece the hound had not touched. It was a small hunk of meat, but just enough to get him through the day.

"Luck is definitely on my side today,"Percy smiled as he held the slab of meat into the air.

Walking back to his camp, Percy added another log onto the fire before placing the piece of meat on a metal grill that sat over the flames.

The water now boiling was ready to use. Percy took what seemed to be a sack with leaves in it out, along with a ceramic mug that read,"Champion swimmer."

Placing the cup in the boiling hot water, Percy surprisingly did not flinch upon putting his hand in a the pot. Something most people could not do, then again they were most likely not the son of a sea god. Taking it out, he dumped some of the water out before dropping the sack into the cup. Percy gave it a nice stir and waited a couple of minutes before taking a sip.

"Delicious, best tea there is," he sighed with a smile.

After about eight minutes and having flipped the slab over after four, the venison was finally done, and he could enjoy a nice breakfast.

"Nothing like a good piece of venison,"he thought to himself as he rubbed his hands together.

Percy definitely enjoyed his morning meal and two cups of hot tea. Today was actually the last day he would be spending at this current location, so he wanted to end it on a nice and relaxing note.

Looking down at his watch, he read, eleven-ten.

"I'll leave after cleaning up and then make my way to that small motel for a nice hot shower,"he decided, as he got up off his wooden chair.

Tipping over the pot of water, Percy doused the flames and watched as the smoke built up and rose into the sky.

Walking over to his tent, he entered and reached for his forest green hiking pack. Taking out a white towel, Percy cleaned off his grassy feet before putting socks and shoes on. Putting the towel back in the bag, he then took out the case for the tent. Throwing the bag outside, Percy rolled up his sleeping bag and placed it inside the bag. Exiting the tent, he began to lift up all the metal pins holding down the tent. In about five minutes he had disassembled the tent and placed it back into his casing. Attaching it to the front of his backpack via straps, Percy moved on to the pots and grill he used.

Once noon hit, Percy had cleared out his camping area, all that was left was the ashes from the wood he had burn't. Satisfied with his work, Percy began his hike towards the motel.


The time now read twelve-thirty pm. Percy had just reached the motel he was talking about, and to his delight it was not full by the looks of it.

"Hardy's motel now open," the giant flashing sign read as he entered into the foyer.

Percy walked up to the desk where an elderly lady with glasses sat, she seemed to be occupied by a game of solitary. There was however a bell with a sign saying ,"Press when service is needed," but Percy thought she might notice he was there.

After a minute Percy decided to clear his throat as that might get her attention, but it didn't. Looking at the bell, he shrugged his shoulders.

"Ah what the heck," he thought to himself.

Upon dinging the metal bell, the old lady looked away from here computer screen and smiled up at Percy.

"How may I help you dear?"She asked in a polite and calm tone.

"I am looking for a room for the night. Please,"Percy stated, taking out a black and golden card out of his wallet as he did so.

"Alrighty, that will be one-o-five,"the lady said as she took out a credit card machine an placed it on the table in front of Percy.

Swiping his card through the machine, Percy entered his code before putting the card back in his wallet.

Taking the machine back, the lady handed Percy his receipt and key to his room.

"Enjoy,"she smiled.

Percy nodded his head and smiled back before walking out of the foyer and back outside.

"21,"His key number read. After a small walk, Percy finally reached his room.

"Finger crossed it doesn't smell like shit," slowly opening the door, he was surprise when the room smelt like lavender, and not like old cigarettes.

Throwing the keys on the bed, he locked the door to his room before tossing his bag on the beg as well. Taking off his clothes, Percy hopped into the shower.

"Oh just wonderful,"he cried with joy as the sweat and dirt from the entire week was washed away in a mater of seconds.

Hopping out of the shower, Percy put on a the clean pair of clothes he had been keeping specifically for this moment.

He quickly cleaned the dirty clothes before quick drying them and tossing them in his hiking bag.

"Guess my old man's powers do come in handy sometimes,"he smirked.

Jumping onto the bed and grabbing the t.v remote, Percy thought it would be best to see what was going on in the news.

"There have been reports of a strange disturbance going on at hover dam,"the reporter announced,"we will update you on this matter the moment we get more information."

"Strange,"Percy thought to himself,"Maybe I should see if whats going on. Haven't contacted him in a couple months."

Putting the television on silent, Percy made his way to the bathroom. Turning on the sink, he let the water run before tossing in a strange looking diamond. Within seconds a small rainbow appeared.

Tossing a drachma into the sink, Percy said,"Oh Iris, goddess of the Rainbow, please accept my offering. Poseidon."

Within seconds a picture appeared out of the mist and a jet black haired man with sea green eyes was sitting on a a wooden bench looking out into the sea.

Coughing to get his attention, Percy watched as the startled man looked to his right.

"Ah Percy, so good to see you,"Poseidon said with a smile after realizing who it was who had coughed.

"Hey dad, how have you been?"Percy asked with a smile of his own.

Poseidon's smile dropped and he seemed to be a tad exhausted,"Sea is acting up again, so that's been quite annoying recently,"he complained,"and that's only the start."

"Something must be coming?"Percy suggested.

"Maybe,"Poseidon shrugged,"Anyways how about you? How have you been?"

"Been pretty good, just finished a nice hunt, so those demigods should be safe for travel when that clumsy satyr decides to leave,"Percy said,"Sorry I have not called or visited lately, just don't know the best of times, and of course I get caught up with things."

"Don't worry,"Poseidon replied, waving off Percy's apology,"No need, I understand. We will have to just set something up one day."

"Sounds good to me,"Percy smiled," anyways I was watching the news and the report of the disturbance at the dam was featured. Do you know anything about it?"

Taking a moment to think, Poseidon eyes lit up seconds later,"Already been dealt with so don't worry. Just a lost sea creature,"Poseidon chuckled,"oh and that reminds me, Hades wants to meet you at the old maple tree at three. He said you'd know what that means."

"Ah okay. Just had to make sure,"Percy said with a nod,"and thanks for the info."

Percy talked to his father for a awhile longer before they said their goodbyes.

Looking down at his watch it now read two-ten pm.

"Guess I should start to head towards the tree," making sure he had everything, Percy took a water bottle from the mini fridge and stuffed it in his bag. Dropping the keys off at the desk, he exited the foyer and took a deep breath.

"Now which way was the maple tree again?" he mumbled to himself.

After a solid ten minutes of figuring out where he had to go, Percy was finally off to the old maple tree.

Here is my first chapter! Hopefully it wasn't too bad... anyways I might add a relationship later on when Percy has grown up some more. Feel free to leave your suggested pairing! Until next time!
