Chapter 1: The Gift Accepted

disclaimer: i don't own percy jackson or any chracters, this is just fan fiction.

description. what if percy accepted the godhood? Fan fic series about his new adventures as a god.

set just after PJ* the last olympian.

"what?" Percy exclaimed as he stood in front of the Olympian council.

"You heard Lord Zeus, Percy. We want to give you the gift of immortality." Hermes replied. Percy looked around at the Council, all of their eyes boring into his as he looked at them in turn.

"Are you sure?" He asked Zeus.

"Absolutely. You saved Olympus, and what's more, you stopped Kronos and his Titans re-gaining power over the Earth. It's what you deserve. It has been agreed that this should be your reward."

"Well, My Lord, I'm honoured but..." Percy stopped mid-sentence and looked at Annabeth for advice. Annabelle looked at him and nodded her head. Her encouragement was all he needed.

"But what?" Hera asked.

"But nothing Lady Hera. I accept your offer." As he said these words, the room burst into applause as the Olympian council clapped at Percy's decision. He looked at Hestia and she smiled at him and clapped also. He knew that he had made the right decision.

"Wonderful. Before we make you a god, the Council must convene to decide what you shall preside over. In the mean time, feel free to say your goodbyes to your family as your human self. For the next time you will see them will be as a god." With Zeus' parting words, The demi-gods bowed and left the council chamber.

POSEIDON P.O.V

"Well, what shall Percy preside over?" Zeus asked. The others looked at one another in confusion. Ares raised his hand.

"How about the God of Bruises?" He suggested.

"Not helping, Ares!" I said through gritted teeth. Ares looked at me with fiery eyes. I made to rise from my chair.

"Peace, Brother" Zeus said calmly. "I'm sure my son meant nothing by it. Did you ARES?" He looked at Ares with threatening eyes.

"No. Sorry, Po." Ares said.

"Any other suggestions?" I asked the council.

This time Apollo put his hand up. "will he be a minor god or a major god? Because i have a suggestion for a major realm."

"I'm open to suggestions. But young Percy will be a major god, we owe him that. But he shall not be able to join the Olympian council, as it would tip teh balance of power even more than it has already. What is your suggestion?" Zeus said softly. Everyone, including myself looked at Apollo.

"Well, as Gramps- I mean Kronos has been pretty much spread thin across the world, why don't we give Kronos' realm to him. I mean it seems only right as he helped Luke to defeat him."

Hermes and a few other god nodded in agreement. Zeus seemed unsure about this.

"I agree. I think percy should be God of Time. What do you think, brother?" I turned to Zeus for his opinion.

"I'm not so sure. It would make Jackson more powerful than all of us. But I agree that he does deserve it. If we decide to give him Time, then we need someone to train him how to use his power properly, or we could all be stuck in a time loop for eternity."

"Ahem." We all turned to see Hades on his feet. "What I think we are forgetting, is that Jackson is extremely unpredictable. I think we should have someone he trusts to train him. Someone who he would fear to disobey."

Everybody turned to me

"What are you looking at me for?"

Zeus raised one eyebrow at me. "Well, you ARE his father after all. He respects you and would never go against your orders."

"What about my wife and son? Triton hates Percy."

"Percy will be God of Time by the time he start training him. They cannot argue with him. He will be one of the most powerful gods in Olympus. "

"Very well. I shall train him. I shall enjoy spending more time with him."

"Next is the question of rebuilding Olympus." Athena, if you would go and fetch Annabeth. I would like to discuss our new living quarters."

PERCY P.O.V

As I left the Council chamber with Annabeth and the other demi-gods, they all broke out in applause and patted me on the back. I nearly fell over as Travis and Connor Stoll bear hugged me at the same time. My head was filling with so many emotions. Fear. Guilt. Excitement. As I wondered what the gods were deciding, I was flooded with questions from my fellow demi-gods.

"What are you going to be a god of?"

"Will you come and visit us?"

"Can you sneak some gold for us?"

I guessed the third one was from one of the Stoll brothers, or someone else from the Hermes cabin.

"Guys... SHUT UP!" I shouted as loud as I could. "To answer your questions, I don't know what I am god of yet, they are deciding. Yes, of course I'll visit you whenever I can. And whoever asked me to steal gold."

"Me!" Connor Stoll said. Just as I suspected.

"Well, Connor, to answer your question, NO I won't!"

I walked out of the ruined palace, past smouldering houses and collapsed pillars.

"I'm going to have a complete re-design of this place. I'm thinking classic Greek/ Modern culture. Maybe a few glass buildings and some multi-story temples, with Zeus' up the top, nearer to the sky." Annabeth was saying as we walked through. I was going to miss her when the inevitable happened. I wasn't going to think about that anymore. I reached the lift and pressed the ground floor button.

When we reached the ground, I felt guilty. More guilty than i had ever felt. I was giving this entire thing up. At what cost? To become immortal.

Mom and Paul were outside waiting for me. Paul still brandishing the sword, ready for another attack.

"Percy!" Mom ran towards me with open arms when she saw me, Paul at her heels. She kissed my forehead and looked at me, her hands on my cheeks, looking at my face for my bruises.

"mom, I'm okay. I have some news."

"what is it? Percy are you okay?"

"I'm fine mom. But this is the last time i'll see you. As a mortal anyway."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm being made a god. Don't worry, i only accepted as long as i can still see you anytime in like."

"Well. Is this what you want?"

"Yes. This feels right. Anyway, it'll be like i've just moved out, yeah?"

"yeah. I love you, Percy. Don't ever forget that."

I felt a sudden burn on the back of my neck. I turned round and saw Athena standing there in full greek battle armor.

"Annabeth. Lord Zeus requests your presence in council. Percy, I think it best you come too, as it concerns you also."

"well. It's time. Love you too, mom."

As i hugged my Mom for the last time as a human, i turned and prepared myself for eternity.
