What if Athena secretly loved Poseidon? What if gods were allowed to
help their kids? Oh, and I made an oc that is Percy's twin sister. Her
name is Percia. This story is how the battle for Olympus should have
gone in TLO.
Poseidon's pov
I heard the call of my son. The next moment I heard the call of
Athena's daughter. I wanted to go help them both, but then Athena
would know that I love her. I looked at Zeus and saw him nod. The next
moment, I was by my sons side. He looked at me in joy but then
refocused on the task at hand.
I took out my own sword(just because I have a trident doesn't mean I
have to fight with it all the time), and I charged an emposai. I
sliced that one in half, and then I whirled around and beheaded the
one that was going to sneak up and attack me. Another monster was
sneaking up on Athena, so I lunged and impaled it. Athena turned in
time to see me impale the monster, and she smiled at me. I returned
her smile and continued to fight by her side.
I knew that she probably knew that I liked her now.
Athena's pov
I heard the desperate call of my daughter for my help. The next call
was the one of poseidons son percy(who happened to be dating my
daughter annabeth). I wanted to go help them both, but then I knew
Poseidon would figure out that I loved him. I glanced at Zeus. He
nodded and I flash traveled to my daughters side. She looked up at me
in admiration but then focused on the task at hand.
I took out my sword and knife(I know that I am depicted fighting with
a spear but war uses all sorts of weapons), I snuck up on a dracnea.
It turned in time to meet the end of my sword. The next monster was a
little tougher. I had just killed it when I turned to see Poseidon
impaling a monster that had been sneaking up at me. I smiled and he
smiled back. Crap, he knew that I liked him now.
Poseidon's pov
Athena and I actually fought well together. I guess we let our rivalry
go so far that we didn't know we could help each other. I was up
against a very young demigod. They were winning because they were
actually pretty good, and I was worrying about Percy, Athena, and
annabeth. The next thing I knew, the demigod's sword was in my gut up
to the hilt. I slew the young man, but then I fell to the ground in
pain. The battle still raged around me, but I didn't really care.
There was only the pain that I felt right now.
"Poseidon!"Athena screamed when she saw me on the ground with the
sword still in my gut. She rushed to my side and knelt next to me. She
placed a hand on my chest and the other one behind my head. Her
daughter and my two kids knelt next to me shortly after she did. I
didn't bother to look at them because I was too busy staring into
Athena's eyes.
"The sword get the sword out,"I gasped. Athena looked at me before she
placed both hands around the hilt of the sword and yanked it out of my
body. My back arched in pain and I gritted my teeth.
"What were you thinking, seaweed brain?"Athena asked me quietly. Yes,
she did use the same nickname for me that her daughter uses for my
son.
"I was too busy worrying about you, annabeth, and Percy,"I replied
weakly. I didn't need to worry about my daughter because she was more
like me than her mother.
"You didn't need to worry about me,"Athena said. I smiled because she
was trying to keep her voice the same tone she always uses with me but
she was failing miserably. She gave me a weak smile in return but her
facial expression quickly turned back to worry.
"I know but I wanted to," I responded my voice getting weaker by the minute.
"You wanted to worry about me, Poseidon, we are rivals,"Athena said. I
could tell she didn't want it to be true.
"Not anymore,"I smiled once again. I could see the shock and joy in her face.
"Poseidon, what do you mean?"Athena asked keeping this up for our kids sake.
"Damn it, Athena, I mean that I love you,"I said. I was weakening fast
but I had to tell her that I love her.
"I love you too Poseidon,"Athena said. She looked at me but I had
passed out from the pain. She took my face in her hands."did you hear
me, seaweed brain, I love you."
"Mom, he is dead,"annabeth said. My son was looking at me with grief
in his eyes.
"No, he can't be dead! I love you Poseidon! Don't leave me! Damn it,
Poseidon, you can't just leave after you tell me that you love
me!"Athena screamed in my ear while pounding on my chest with her
fists.
"Athena, we have to help the rest of us that are still alive,"Percy
told her. She glared at him in fury.
"You are his son. Why would you believe he is dead? He speaks very
highly of you you know that,"Athena hissed at him.
"No, I didn't know that. I am going to leave my father here because we
need to win this war. You of all people should know that no war is won
without sacrifice,"Percy growled. Athena looked at him shocked. No
demigod had ever dared to insult her for fear of being on her bad
side.
"You are right,"Athena agreed reluctantly. She slowly stood up from my
side. She redrew her sword and knife, and then she looked around in
fury.
"Percia, you stay here to see if you can bring him back,"annabeth told
one of her best friends. My young daughter nodded and faced me.
"Let's go. I have some demons to kill for trying to take Poseidon away
from me,"Athena said coldly. Annabeth and Percy smiled at her
statement then they both charged into battle.
Of course, I only found this out from Percia after she I had woken,
and she had healed me.
Athena's pov
I killed monster after monsters for taking my Poseidon away from me.
My daughter and percy(I would have been proud to call him my son. You
see, I didn't hate Percy and annabeths relationship at all, it was
just the rivalry between Poseidon and I keeping me from seeing the
bigger picture.)battled along side me. Percy was angry at losing his
father, and annabeth was mad because Percy was upset. A few minutes
later, Percy's cousins Thalia grace(daughter of Zeus)and nico di
angelo(son of hades)were fighting at Percy's side. I hadn't believed
my father(Zeus)when he had said that the three got along better than
the big three actually did, so I went and found a tv, I turned it on
to see the activity in the camp, and I saw the three of them hanging
out as if they were blood siblings instead of just cousins.
Kronos decided to take the field after we had been pushed back to the
very walls of the Empire State Building. Chiron was aiming his arrow
at him but he couldn't seem to move. Kronos got closer and closer. The
ares cabin had arrived shortly before along with the party ponies, so
we had had the advantage for a while until the other army recovered.
Hades, Demeter, and Persephone arrived in Hades's chariot. Kronos
laughed thinking he had gotten more power for his side of this war.
"Come to help me defeat these demigods have you hades?"Kronos asked smiling.
"I'm afraid not. As much as I would like to torture certain upstart
demigods,"he started throwing a glance at Percy,"I can't. My son here
would be heartbroken, and I wouldn't do that to him. I am more a
father to him than you were ever to any of us. I think we all agree
that you were a pretty bad father!"
Hades summoned a wave of the undead warriors. Every warrior was
dressed differently because they were all from different time periods.
I could spot a few young roman and Greek warriors among their ranks.
They stood waiting for orders from hades to attack. The enemy army
just stood frozen in fear.
"Get them,"Kronos yelled ducking into the Empire State Building. Time
restarted and the battle resumed. I looked Percy in the eye, and told
him to go stop Kronos while we held the army off. He nodded and ran
inside the building with annabeth, Grover,and thalia(my demigod half
sister).
Percy's pov
Time restarted and the battle that we demigods had been fighting for
three whole days resumed its destruction. Athena looked at me and told
me to go after Kronos and stop him while the rest of them held the
army off. I nodded but I didn't want to go because I could tell Athena
feared for me.
I ran inside the building with annabeth, Grover, and Thalia flanking
me. The guy that was normally at the desk wasn't there, so I assumed
that when the fighting started he had gone somewhere safe. We ran to
the elevators and went to the 600th floor. Olympus usually took my
breath away but not today. It looked like a cyclone had gone through
the city and destroyed everything in its path. In the distance a
temple exploded.
"That was a shrine to Artemis, he will pay for that,"Thalia growled.
The four of us ran by the Zeus and Hera statues. The Hera one started
to fall towards annabeth and I, but Thalia pushed us out of the way.
When the dust cleared, we saw that Thalia was trapped under the
immense statue. Grover and I tried to pull her out, but she cried out
in pain.
"I survive all those battles just to get stuck under a stupid
statue,"Thalia said. Annabeth looked at her.
"That statue was meant for me. Hera has been out to get me since last
summer. You saved me,"annabeth replied.
"It's what I do right,"Thalia said smiling before grimacing in pain.
"Don't move,"I told her once I realized that Kronos was all the way
to the doors of the throne room.
"I'm not going anywhere. Well, get your butt going,"Thalia said.
Annabeth, Grover, and I ran as fast as we could into the throne room.
Kronos stood there smiling as he stared at the seats of power for the
gods.
"Which one shall I destroy first,"he gloated in his triumph. He
wouldn't get to enjoy it for long. I stepped out of the shadows.
"How does none of them sound?"I asked. Kronos turned and smirked at me.
"Nakumara, here is your chance to prove your worth. Fight
Jackson,"Kronos ordered. Ethan drew his sword and charged me. I fought
with him for a while, but then I knew I had to stop this and fight
Kronos.
"Ethan, you don't want to kill me. This is not balance, and that is
what your mom is the goddess of, right? You don't want to fight me,"I
tried to win him over. To my surprise he started to charge but not at
me.
Ethan brought down his sword as hard as he could on the neck of
Kronos. What should have been a deadly blow only shattered Ethan's
sword to pieces.
"Treachery,"Kronos growled. He opened up a hole in the floor, and
before the son if nemesis fell into oblivion, I heard him say,"if only
the rest of the gods had thrones. If only they were respected."
I fought Kronos myself. Annabeth had tried to help but Kronos batted
her away. Grover was tending to her. A few minutes later she stood in
front of mr trying to convince Luke that he was stronger than Kronos.
Kronos had enough and smacked annabeth. She fell to the ground and
touched her cut lip.
"You promised that we would be a family, Luke, you promised,"annabeth
said quietly. Kronos staggered.
"Promised,"Luke muttered. I took this oprritunity to knock him to the
ground. He kept asking me for annabeths knife. I gave it to him and he
stabbed himself in his Achilles was a bright flash and Luke
castellan and Kronos were no more.
I finally understood two lines of the prophecy.'a heroes cursed blade
shall reap. A single choice shall end his days'
Rachel had been right, I was not the hero in the end,Luke was. The
cursed blade was annabeths knife because of all the promises he had
made and broken. By my choice to give him the knife, he had ended his
days by saving Olympus.
Athena's pov
I could tell we had won the war because all of Kronos's forces were
fleeing. None of them made it very far. At least the demigods had won
the war because I had not. I walked over to where Percia was still
kneeling by poseidons side. I knelt down and laid my head on his
chest. I started to cry over my loss when all of a sudden I felt his
chest move up and down. I lifted my head to look at him. He still
looked like he was dead, but I could see he was breathing.
"Poseidon, did you hear me? I said that I love you,"I whispered. He
must have heard me because his eyes flew open and he engulfed me in
one of his bear hugs.
"Athena, I thought that I had lost you,"Poseidon gasped holding me tight.
"I know. You did lose me there for a while," I said smiling.
Two hours later...
All twelve of the Olympians sat in their thrones. Annabeth, Percy,
Grover, and Tyson were the only other ones present in the room. After
Tyson had been declared the general of poseidons forces, Thalia
hobbled in on crutches. She was promised help in refilling the hunters
ranks. Annabeth was given the job of rebuilding Olympus. Percy's twin
sister was awarded the chance to become a healer like none had ever
seen under the tutelage of her boyfriend Apollo.
"And for my son Percy,"Poseidon started.
"You shall be granted a gift we have only bestowed on a few mortals
before. You can become a god if you want it,"Zeus finished. I could
see the temptation in his eyes, but then he looked at annabeth and I
knew his answer.
"No,"Percy said.
"No, you would dare to refuse our generous gift!"my father roared.
Percy shook his head.
"Not refuse. I just want something else,"he told Zeus.
"And what would that be?"my father asked.
"I want you to claim all of your children. Don't forget about any of
them,"Percy said.
"What makes you think we will claim all of them?"Hermes asked.
"I'm going to make you swear on the river Styx to claim by all of your
children by the time they are thirteen,"Percy replied.
"Very well, we swear on the river Styx to claim all of our children by
the time they are thirteen,"Zeus said. He didn't make a fear when
Percy asked him to light the top of the building blue to let poseidons
only two kids mother that they were alive.
Percy's pov
Annabeth, Grover, and I walked out of Olympus. We had only gone so far
when I saw Hermes studying an image.
"I'll catch up,"I told my two friends. They nodded and went ahead. I
walked over to stand next to Hermes.
"It's amazing how quickly mortals make an excuse for something,"Hermes
said. He swept his hand through the mist and turned to me.
"Listen, Hermes, I am sorry about Luke,"I said. I wished I could take
back what I had said when I said it.
"You could have saved him! You could have saved him!"Hermes yelled. He
went from looking like a powerful god to someone who needed comfort.
"I couldn't save him, and I am sorry for that because he meant a lot
to me. He was my friend when no one else was there. He was the big
brother I never had,"I told him. He smiled.
"I have two daughters in Las Vegas. Will you see that they get to the
camp safely?"Hermes asked.
"I will,"I promised.
