Chapter 1
First Day at Goode Highschool*
"Class, this is our new student, Mr. Perseus Jackson!" My English teacher, Mr Blofis told everyone.
"Percy, sir. That's what I like being called," I told him.
"Will you please tell the class about yourself Mr. Jackson?"
"Sure. I am from Florida. My favorite color is a black/silver mix. Is that good enough?"
"Yes, that's fine."
Linebreak!*
I hated having to come up with random information about myself. Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Lord Perseus Jackson. I am the Primordial son of Chaos and Artemis. I was born before my mother became a maiden goddess. I am the Primordial of Water, Earth, The Sky, Time, Light, Darkness, Battle, Archery, Hunting, and Creation. Most of my domains come from either my parents or my half siblings that have faded. I am my fathers heir and the only male allowed in the hunter's camp (a great feat if I may say so myself). I have done many things in the "myths" that have been replaced because I was not known. I was the one that killed Orion for attempting to vandalize one of my mother's hunters. I have done many more that I can't even remember. Oh! I forgot! I am 8 million years old. I don't see how I forgot that. Oh well.
Linebreak!*
School finally let out! Why in the name of my father himself do I even go to these gods forsaken places?! Right now, I'm heading towards my mother and my wife's tent. You may be wondering who my wife is, well it is none other than the beautiful lieutenant of the Hunters of Artemis herself, Zoe Nightshade Jackson. We have been married for 4,000 years now! Oh I remember the day I met her!
Flashback!*
I was walking down the road in Ancient Greece by Mount Othrys (why? I have no clue.) when I heard crying. I walked over to the location it was coming from and I saw a beautiful girl around the age of 16 sitting on a rock crying.
"What is wrong young maiden?" I was always taught to be respectful of women from my mother.
"I have been cast out abandoned by my family because of helping some stupid male!"
Now, young one, tell me your name. My name is Perseus Jackson," I told her, not wanting her to be scared.
"Why should I tell you anything?"
"Because I am a Primordial and you will feel my wrath of you do not answer me!" I yelled in mock rage.
She immediately bowed with fear etched on her face, "I'm so sorry My Lord! Please forgive me!"
I laughed so hard that I started rolling on the floor. When I looked up she was blushing in embarrassment. I walked up to her and held her chin. "Do not be afraid young one. I am just teasing. Yes, I am a Primordial, but I am not like most of those conceited Olympians. I do not like people bowing to me. We are equals. You shall be treated as such. Now can I learn your name?"
"My name is Zoe Nightshade, Daughter is Atlas and Pleone. My Lord I..."
"No My Lord's child. Just Perseus," I smiled to her.
"Yes, My—Perseus. Mind I ask what you are the Primordial of and why you didn't go crazy when I told you my father was Atlas?"
"Yes Dear." I told her, " I am the Primordial of Water, Earth, The Sky, Time, Light, Darkness, Battle, Archery, Hunting, and Creation! As to why I didn't go crazy, I don't care who your parent are, just who you are."
She gasped. "How do you have so many domains? Who are your parents?"
I laughed. "You are a curious one aren't you?"
She blushed.
"But to answer your question, I don't really know why I have so many domains." "The second one though, my parents are Lord Chaos and Lady Artemis!" I states with pride.
She gasped again, "How is your mother Lady Artemis? She is a maiden goddess!"
"I was born before she became a maiden goddess," I stayed simply.
"Wait. So how old are you?!"
"I am 8 million years old!"
She just about fainted.
"How about I take you to my mother since you are alone? I will still be able to visit you since she is my mother."
She smiled. "That would be great... Percy."
I was taken back, "What did you say?"
She laughed, "I said that would be great Percy."
"No, why did you say Percy?"
"I just think Perseus is a mouthful," she stated simply.
She got comfortable with me real quick, I mused to myself I chuckled, "I like it!"
She smiled her beautiful smile again. "Well I think we should be on our way don't you think?"
"Ithink we just might."
I flashed us to the hunters camp. When we arrived, I saw 23 bows pointed at us. They then saw who it was and bowed, saying, "
Sorry My Lord. We thought you were some other male."
How many times do I need to say that you don't need to bow or use formalities?! Phoebe. Can you go get mother?" The hunters were the only ones that knew of me being the son of Artemis.
"Sure Perseus!"
I watched her walk away. I turned to Zoe and saw that she was nervous. I reassured her, telling her my mother was laid back. Mom walked out and I shrunk to a 5 year old child and ran at her, "Mommy!"
She laughed at me and said, "You are so dramatic. You were just trying to put on a show. Who is this young lady here?"
I grew back into my usual 18 year old form. "This is Zoe Nightshade, Daughter of Atlas and Pleone. She wishes to join the hunt."
"Ah! A daughter of Atlas. I am not going to judge you if you think that. I technically am a demititan as well. You may join the hunt as long as you say the oath to me."
Zoe looked relieved that she wouldn't be judged, then she smiled. She said the oath and then was accepted into the hunt. She ran off to celebrate with the others after saying a thank you and good bye to me. I watched her walk away and I realized that I was smiling and sighing.
"You love her don't you?" Mother asked
"What?! Well... maybe... She is beautiful, smart, funny, and so much more. I have never felt like this before. She has joined the hunt now so I guess I can't have her," I answered dejectedly.
My mom sighed, "I will let her off the maiden part of the oath as long as you marry her. That will mean that you won't be able to cheat on her."
"Thank you mother! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!"
She laughed and said, "Go get her Tiger"
Flashback end!*
