Resurrected from Esylum
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Percy Jackson books, series, or characters.
POV: Percy
I coughed and blood splattered the floor of the throne room. Kronos sneered down at me but I got up and lunged at him. I knew there was no point in doing so but I had to buy time for the gods. I saw the gods just defeat Typhon and knew they were coming. I saw Luke/Kronos' eyes change back to blue and I thought that Luke was fighting Kronos, inside. But I was wrong, Luke fell to the ground as Kronos' true form emerged from his body. I had to shield my eyes against the bright light as Kronos turn into human form. I gasped to find a blond haired, blue eyed, and tall man pointing a sword towards me. Annabeth screamed and rushed to Luke's side as I began to battle Kronos, again.
I blocked and struck, but I knew it wasn't enough.
"You are a good fighter, perhaps you could join my side" he mused "I would treat you with honor unlike the gods here."
"Never!" I yelled
"But tell me you have to know, don't you know what it is like to be abandoned by your father, Percy? He doesn't care, he only cares about his kingdom and his rule. And you know it. With me, I promise a fair share for all the demi-gods who have helped me. I promise on the Styx that you and your friends shall be rewarded greatly for joining me." Thunder boomed outside as the promise was made.
I hesitated for a second, but that was all Kronos needed to stab his blade into my chest. I grunted and clutched it as red blood poured from my body.
"You are not worth another second and he turned to destroy Zeus' throne. A shinning black light emerged from his hands and he shot it at the throne. Two things happened once he did that. I lunged in front of the throne and took the blow for it, and the gods came rushing in with their battle amour. I was thrown into the wall and hit my head and I slipped into unconsciousness.
I felt like I was floating but knew it was impossible, Zeus would strike me out of the air if I ever entered his domain again. I didn't know where I was I felt so alive but yet different. Suddenly I was yanked back into reality as a harsh blow to my chest made blood flowed inside my veins again.
I opened my eyes slightly to find Zeus, Poseidon, and Apollo leaning over me. I understood now, Apollo probably healed my injuries causing me to wake again.
"Percy, I promise to spend more time with you just please don't leave me" Poseidon sobbed, into Apollo's shoulder. A surprised Apollo hesitantly wrapped his arms around Poseidon, as my father continued to sob.
Zeus for once I think in my life looked on the verge of tears and Hera had to comfort him.
"Percy, if you come back I promise you can come into my domain anytime you want. I swear it on the Styx. I will also give you flying powers just please." Thunder boomed to seal the promise.
I heard tons of sobbing and fluttered my eyes.
"Who are you?" I croaked. I smiled inside, I was going to play with them for a while. My father looked up from Apollo's shoulder and gasped.
"Percy! Are you okay?" he stuttered
"Who are you talking about who is Percy?" I said confused. Poseidon looked to Apollo worriedly and was about to say something when I cut him off.
"Dad, I am just joking I know full well what happened. But dad I have to say your expression was priceless. What did I miss?" I snickered but stopped when I saw his expression.
"PERSEUS JACKSON DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT TO ME AGAIN!" he thundered. I looked to Zeus and said
"So was that dramatic or what?" I mused. Zeus burst into a laughing fit and needed five minutes before he stopped laughing.
Zeus went to his throne and sat down, all the Olympians followed. I noticed my stomach was still bleeding but didn't think much about it. Until, blood squirted from the wound. I thought Apollo healed it. It flowed out of continuously and Apollo tried to heal it but failed. I felt light headed but stood up. I collapsed into his arms and fell unconscious again.
POV: Poseidon
At first I thought Percy was faking it but when I saw Apollo's expression... well for once I didn't know what to do.
"I am sorry Uncle Poseidon, but I think he is..." Apollo trailed off when he saw my expression of rage.
"No! I refuse to believe this. Hades! Is it true?" I yelled
"Yes, brother I can sense his soul in the underworld now. I promise he WILL go to Esylum." Hades replied carefully.
I didn't know. I just froze. I was unaware of anything around me. I couldn't or wouldn't believe it. I just saw my son die and just after he killed Kronos, with some black light.
POV: Zeus
I saw my brother freeze and knew it was no use of trying to get him unfrozen. Only time would heal his mental wounds of losing a son.
POV: Narrator
And Poseidon stayed that way for a year, showing no emotion or barley realising where he was.
All the campers, involved in the fight, where given immortality, like the hunters.
Hestia in honor of Percy told everyone what his last wishes where and they complied. Soon camp half-blood built cabins for all the gods and goddesses.
Percy was sent to Esylum was promised.
POV: Percy
I was floating like before but now I felt free. I was floating in a unknown place. I looked down and realised I had no body. I was sent to a room by a man who I have never seen before. His strange red eyes creeped me out. I saw Uncle Hades in the room and I hurried in.
"Uncle Hades, why am I here?" I inquired
"Percy... you are dead and I wanted to speak with you before I send you to Esylum." He whispered
"I am not dead." I stated
"They are always like this." He muttered "Percy, you died because of the battle wound and Poseidon and Zeus have asked me to send you to Esylum.
"Why can't you just let me live again? Can't you do that?" I asked
"Yes, I can but that would be against the rules, I'm afraid."
"Oh, well I guess I better get going."I said looking at the floor.
"Yes, you better, but you father wanted me to tell you that he is so proud and he is sorry you didn't get to spend a lot of time with him."
I waved my hand, ready to get on with whatever was going to come in my life.
"Well, I am going to send you to Esylum, now" he said and I was transported to an Island but I fainted right after that.
"Dude, who is he?" a voice asked
"I don't know I guess we will find out when he wakes." Another voice called out. I heard a few voices in the background but paid attention to the two voices that were closet to me.
I opened my eyes and they gasped
"Are you a son of Poseidon?" a man with curly, black, and long hair asked. I noticed that he had the same eyes as me. So this must be Orion I guessed from his hair.
"Orion?" I asked as he nodded. "So then you must be Theseus?" I asked the other boy with black straight hair. Theseus nodded and asked
"Who are you?"
"My name is Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon and Neptune."
"Poseidon and Neptune?" Theseus asked
"Yes, my father visited my mother in both his Greek and roman form." I stated proudly
"So that means you can also understand ancient Roman? We can't." Orion and Theseus said.
"Oh well, yeah but it doesn't come as easily as Greek."I mumbled. "So... I am in Esylum."
"Yes, and practically you can do whatever you want it is awesome!" Orion exclaimed. "Wait, you need to meet everyone!" he paused "Odysseus, Hercules, and Perseus come here!"
"What now?"they said after stopping whatever they were doing.
"You need to met Perseus." He yelled back.
"Why would I need to meet myself?" Perseus asked as he came forward.
"Perseus, this is Perseus." Orion said introducing me
"Perseus, eh, well then my guess is that you are a son of Poseidon." He shook my hand
"Yes, and you are THE Perseus?" I asked
"Yes"
"Wow, nice to meet you. Always wanted to meet the guy I was named after." I said
"So, your named after my brother." A man with black hair and electric blue eye said
"Yes, are you Hercules?" I asked and the man nodded in surprise
"Didn't expect you, to know me." He replied
"Well, I studied you in my Greek lesson."
"So then you are Odysseus."
"Yup, now can we continue training. My sword fighting is still rusty" he complained to Theseus
"Sure, leave then and don't learn why Perseus is here." Theseus snapped
"Isn't it obvious he did something great and he is rewarded when he died but since he looks so young I guess he died as a teenager maybe?" Odysseus waved his hand and walked towards an area I didn't notice earlier.
"Actually, if you consider beating Kronos great then I guess yes." I snapped at him. He stopped dead in his tracks.
"Yo-u killed Kronos?" he stuttered and fell. Perseus helped him up
"Yeah I don't believe you." Hercules said arrogantly said
"Well, it is true and call me Percy" I replied calmly not wanting to tempt him.
"How did you manage such a thing?" Theseus asked interestedly.
"I killed him because when he shot some black light at me it rebounded and hit him."I mumbled not liking the attention.
"Wow, congrates cousin." All of Zeus' kids said with a hint of awe in their voice.
"Odysseus, I know a lot about sword fight I can help you." I said trying to change the subject.
"Sure, please teach me. These people here are terrible." He replied
"Hey!" everyone exclaimed at Odysseus
"Well you know it is true." He teased. They all looked down in shame and walked away.
"Bye!" I waved my hand in goodbye. They waved back as they disappeared around the island
POV: Narrator
And so Percy and Odysseus trained in sword fighting and slowly Odysseus got better. When night broke out at Esylum, Percy was show to his new house.
POV: Percy
"I get a house?" I asked unsurely.
"Yes, a house all to yourself." Theseus said
"One question, why isn't there anyone else on the island" I was curious the entire time not one other person came.
"This is the island for only the greatest heroes to live. While there is one other island for the others." He explained slowly. I nodded and went into my house. The house on the outside was like a mansion. I liked it already. But on the inside the walls were blank. I looked to Theseus for an explanation.
"You can decide what you want the inside to look like just imagine whatever you want" and then he left me to the house.
I imagined my perfect house and a stair way appeared in the middle. Countless paintings and statues where there of Poseidon, Tyson, Hercules, Perseus, Triton, Theseus, Odysseus, Orion, and I. The grand stair well was painted white and gold. While the walls where green and blue. Although some of then I made to look like the oceans and beaches. I had a total of three hundred and six rooms although I knew I would use majority of them.
I plopped down and fell asleep, to the waves crashing on the beach.
