I am not cool enough to own Percy Jackson and the Olympians :( I do however own The Lost Hero. That's all. Although I am borrowing The Titans Curse from my school library.
On with the story!
The Greatest Hero.
At the bottom of the sea a man stood. He was staring intently at something in front of him. He suddenly slashed his hand through something and began to rise. He walked out of the sea. The water seemed to cling to him, as if begging him to stay. They reluctantly slid off his perfectly dry clothing. He looked at the Empire State Building. It seemed to loom over him.
"He better not find me" the man murmured to himself. He dissolved into water particles and drifted through the air. Weaving around blocks of flats and office blocks. He opened a small window slipped inside. The man reappeared. His gaze turned towards the beautiful full moon. He smiled slightly at his random thoughts of his family. The Olympian Gods. He travelled down a small hallway and into a small blue room. The beautiful ocean blue walls were decorated with fish and sea creatures.
Poseidon God of the Seas approached the cot nervously. This child was powerful. Too powerful. He could feel the aura of power radiate off him. A subtle aura, invisible to all but his father. He peered down in the cot and looked at his son. His fuzzy hair was raven black against his skin. The child sensed his father in the room and woke. His sea green eyes met Poseidon's sea green eyes. Poseidon smiled at the similarities between his and his son's appearance.
"Daaaaaadaaaaa" the little baby said, his head tilted to the side.
"Hello Perseus" Poseidon said, smiling at his child.
"Gaga da da" Percy replied. Grinning with his toothless gums. Poseidon smiled at his child and placed a strong hand within the cot. He put a hand to his child's forehead and gulped. He would see his child's death. He had no doubt.
Suddenly he could see a boy of 12. His hair was black. His sea green eyes shone. He held out his hand and water followed him, obeying him. Then he could see a single sea green shroud lying alone. The trident was embroidered beautifully on it. Kronos stood above him.
"Percy Jackson is dead. The only hope for the Gods is dead." Kronos mocked his son. Poseidon watched as the image faded and he sighed softly.
Percy grabbed the hand and played with it. He bit the fingers and sucked on them. Poseidon laughed softly.
"You Perseus will be a true hero. The Hero of Olympus. Your name will go down in history" he said, holding back tears. The little boy looked at him and grinned again. Poseidon smiled at his son.
"Rar Har" Percy said. His sea green eyes shone.
"You will be a hero. The greatest hero. Your name will be told too all demigods. Percy Jackson. The Hero." Poseidon said and kissed his son on the forehead before turning to vapour and leaving the window. He locked it again and drifted to the sea.
Camp Half-Blood: 200 years later.
The sea roared and crashed against the shore. The wind sounded like howling. In the amphitheatre all the campers. Even the Hunters sat. One of them had tears streaming down her face. Chiron trotted to the head of the crowd.
"Only the Hunters know what we are here for" Chiron said to the silent crowd. "The Gods wish not to speak of it. But this day is a hard day for all-" he stopped as he saw the Gods walking in. Poseidon in the lead.
"Percy Jackson would be 200 years old today" Poseidon addressed the crowd.
The girl burst into fresh tears and one of the minor Goddesses, a beautiful blond haired girl comforted her, her own tears streaming down her face. The Ghost King was choking back his own tears.
"Percy Jackson is the Hero of Olympus" Poseidon said "He should be here today" here he closed his eyes.
"If you will Annabeth" Athena said softly.
The blond haired girl stood. "I am Annabeth Goddess of Architecture, Daughter of Athena and Official Architect of Olympus" she said "Percy Jackson was my boyfriend. When he was 12 me, him and a satyr named Grover went to the Underworld to retrieve Zeus's Masterbolt, We encountered Medusa, Percy slayed her, the Chimera, Percy almost died. We got to the Underworld and then found Hades Helm of Darkness missing also. He fought and beat Ares and got both the Masterbolt and the Helm of Darkness back. He stopped a civil war that would have torn the earth apart. He stopped Kronos rising so easily" she said and sat down again. She looked at the Cyclopes who nodded.
"I am Tyson, Son of Poseidon" he said happily "I met Percy when he was 13. We snuck out on a Quest to get the Golden Fleece, to save Thalia's Tree. And to save Grover from wedding. Percy is my big brother. Percy saved Thalia by battling bad Cyclopes with me. As a team. We fought Bear men and Luke. Percy got turned into a Guinea Pig by Circe. But we got the Fleece and we saved Camp Half-Blood. Then we won the Chariot races" Tyson smiled. The raven haired Huntress stood.
"I am Thalia, Lieutenant of Artemis, Daughter of Zeus. I am Percy's cousin. With him I travelled across the country to San Francisco, to save Annabeth and Artemis. We travelled with Bianca di Angelo, Hunter and Zoe Nightshade, former Lieutenant of Artemis. They both died on the Quest. We fought Skeleton Monsters that kept coming back. We found the dam snack bar" here she laughed "Percy fought Atlas, he saved both Annabeth and Artemis. He held the sky. He grieved for both Zoe and Bianca when they passed away. He was there when the Huntress became a new constellation. Running across the stars she loved" the dark brown haired boy stood as Thalia sat.
"I am Nico, the Ghost King, Son of Hades. I am Percy's cousin. When he was almost 15 Percy travelled through the Labyrinth. He fought countless monsters. He killed Geyron. He saved me from myself. He found Daedalus and Braries. He fought Kampe. His friend Rachel hit Kronos in the eye with a plastic blue hairbrush. He fought in the battle of the Labyrinth. He exploded Mt Helens, almost vaporizing himself and stirring Typhon in his sleep. He became more powerful as he realised what he could do." Nico finished "He became the Child of the Prophecy"
Poseidon stood. "As you know, I am Poseidon, God of the Seas, Father of Percy. When he was almost 16. He defended Manhattan with an army of 70 demigods against Kronos. He fought Kronos and won. He bore the Curse of Achilles. He saved demigods. He saved Olympus. He watched as his friends died around him. He helped the Gods. He was ready to die for us, for Olympus, for his friends. He became the Hero of Olympus. But his biggest achievement in the eyes of Aphrodite was when he kissed Annabeth at the bottom of the Lake" Poseidon smiled slightly. "Percy Jackson is a true hero. The greatest hero who ever lived. He proved everyone wrong. I am proud Percy Jackson is my son"
A cough from the back made everyone turn. Hades stood there. A figure behind him.
"Poseidon. This may not be right but you have waited long enough. Grieved long enough" Hades said and stepped aside.
A young man of 20 stood there. His black hair was a bit long. His green eyes were shining. He took a look at Poseidon
"Dad?" he asked he ran towards him and Poseidon pulled him in a hug. The boy pulled away after a few minutes. Poseidon turned to the crowd.
"This is my son. Welcome Percy Jackson, Hero of Olympus" he said. The crowd cheered. Annabeth was caught up in Percy's arms and kissed passionately. Thalia and Nico earned a long hug. Tyson almost squashed his brother. Then Zeus walked forwards and silence fell.
"Percy Jackson. I once made you an offer of immortality. You turned it down" Zeus said "I offer again"
"I accept Uncle" Percy replied.

So yeah. Realised I haven't wrote anything that is published for like a month. Feeling really bad about it! Sorry. Might put a Tratie one up today as well. Wrote that forever ago.
This one. The idea came to me on Friday and I began writing it on Saturday. Finished it yesterday (Sunday) but my internet was down so I waited till today, I'm ill. So been watching Narnia: Prince Caspian and melting with Skandar Keynes's (Edmund Pevensie) awesomeness.
Sorry about the rambling.
Read and Review please my amazing readers :)
With love,
