Annabeth's POV

We were standing before the gods after the day we finished with Kronos. I had my fingers crossed as Zeus granted Percy his reward for defeating the titan. I knew it was coming, I know Percy deserved what the Olympians were going to offer him, I knew we talked about this already before, and yet I couldn't seem to be able to stop the tears that were gathering in my eyes.

"PERCY JACKSON!" Poseidon announced. Oh how I came to love this name. The trill it gave me every times it rang in my ears. The room was silent; I can felt that all eyes, including mine, were all on my hero. I watched as I watched him walked confidently into the middle of the throne room. His perfect lip was set in a determined line. Who would have believed that this was the same boy whom I looked down to so many years ago. He had grown so much. Those green eyes pierced me unlike any other. He bowed to Zeus first, of course, or risk being blown into million pieces, then knelt at his father's feet.

"Rise, my son," Poseidon said. "A great hero must be rewarded, is there anyone here who would deny that my son is deserving this?"

I wanted to scream, I do I do! But that would be on a suicidal list next to stealing Zues's bolt, and hell no, I'm so not going to destroy my life as a next Olympus Architect. I hope someone to pipe up since the gods never agreed on anything, and many of them dislike us demi-gods. But nooo, not a single one of them protested.

"The Council agrees," Zeus said. "Percy Jackson, you will have one gift from the gods."

I saw him hesitated. "Any gift?" He asked

Zeus nodded grimly. "I know what you will ask. The greatest gift of all. Yes, if you want it, it shall be yours. The gods have not bestowed this gift on a mortal hero in many centuries, but, Perseus Jackson-if you wish ityou shall be made a god. Immortal. Undying. You shall serve as your father's lieutenant for all time."

"Um…a god?" I almost laughed out loud at that dummy answer. That's my Percy, who else can be like that in front of the entire Council.

Zeus rolled his eyes. "A dimwitted god, apparently. But yes. With the consensus of the entire Council, I can make you immortal. Then I will have to put up with you forever."

My heart clenched as I sensed the moment of final decision is coming close.

"Hmm," Ares mused. "That means I can smash him to a pulp as often as I want, and he'll just keep coming back for more. I like this idea." As if you can, you stupid war god. Get real, Percy beat you when he was a mortal…a 12 years old mortal! Imagine he being a god now, many times stronger than he is now. Heh, you wouldn't stand a chance.

Now what I wasn't prepare was another voice supported Percy transformed into godhood. "I approve as well," my mother said. Shock ran through me, I never thought she would support this decision seeing how much she despised Percy. And apparently, I wasn't the only in shock. Zeus and Poseidon were gawking at her, wide eyes. It's not every day you see your enemy backing your son, right? I looked up to her, and found a pair of gray, misty eyes focused at me. I shifted my weight nervously and I focused back at Percy.

He glanced back at me. I quickly avoided those green eyes that had shaken me so much these past couple of years. I know he's having a same flash back as me. Two years ago, when I thought I was going to join the Hunter rank and pledge myself to Mistress Artemis. Only now, we have switched our places. It's me who's been on the edge of a panic attack. I can't bear a thought of losing him.

Then a single thought cut through me. Why are you being selfish this way. Can't you see you're holding him back? Doesn't he deserve this chance? I remembered our conversation we had before.

-Flash Back-

"Hey, Seaweed Brain." I said as we prepared ourselves for the battle to come.

"What's up, Wise Girl." Those green eyes focused on me.

"If we really get through with this, the gods would probably grant you a wish…" I left the sentence unfinished.

"A chance to become a god." He finished for me. I looked into those eyes, and nodded. "Yeah, I know Annabeth."

"What would you do?" I whispered quietly, fearing the answer.

Percy laughed. "Haha, what are you afraid of Wise Girl? I would decline of course; I mean why would I want that."

I ignored his laugh, his green eyes showed uncertainty. "Well, whatever Seaweed Brain. Only though, I think you should accept the offer. There's no point of you staying mortal and it looks like Olympus needs somebody to knock some sense into them." I didn't wait for his answer, but got up and left the room.

-Back to the present-

"No" The word ranged in my ears as I stared at him unbelief.

-End of Chapter one-
