Chapter Two: New Relationships
|Third Person POV|
The war took a toll on everyone. Gods and demigods alike. The Ares, Apollo, Athena, Hephaestus and Hermes cabins took the most losses. After the war, the survivors were taken to Mt. Olympus. Only Leo and Percy were still alive from the original seven of prophecy.
Hazel died with a spear through her body that nearly ripped her in half. Frank's piece of wood completely burned up. Jason and Piper died protecting each other. Piper was plummeted with arrows and Jason was literally ripped to shreds. Annabeth's death was the worst. Gaia forced Percy to watch as she tortured his wise girl. Her screams filled the air until the mother Earth finally crushed the blonde with dirt.
Soon after that, all Percy saw was red. He blew through monster faster than anyone. He quickly made his way to Gaia. She was cackling until she saw the look on the son of sea's face. Fear crept on her face as she cried for mercy. Percy wasn't having it. He used the water molecules in the air to lift Gaea. Water blades sliced through the earth repeatedly. Not slowing down until one final blow with riptide. She bursted into golden dust. The child of the sea collapsed to his knees. Tears fell from his eyes. Poseidon shrank to his mortal size and hugged his son as the boy cried into his chest. Athena walked over to her daughter's crushed and mangled body. She cried silent tears as she looked over to her rival. The wisdom goddess placed a hand on the sea god's shoulder.
Zeus went to his Roman son's body. He didn't know what to feel. This was a new feeling for him. For some reason he wanted to just break down and cry. Hera stood supportively at her husband's side. The Lord of the sky looked over to his daughter who was just barely breathing. An Apollo camper was doing her best to save her.
Will Solace was in a coma and probably will never wake up. His injuries were just too severe. Even if he did wake up, the boy would never be able to walk again. Apollo did the best he could for his son.
There were roughly 100 demigods left alive. Both Greek and Roman. More Roman than Greek. On Mt. Olympus, the gods made all the remaining senior counselors immortal.
"Leo Valdez step forward." Hephaestus walked towards his son. "For your bravery in this war, I'd like to offer you one wish and the chance to become my apprentice as the god of fire."
Leo looked at Percy. "Do you think they'll free her this time?"
"It's worth a shot."
"I accept your generous offer and my one wish is for Calypso to be freed."
Zeus snapped his fingers and Calypso appeared in front Leo. They hugged for a while. She eventually let go and said thank you to Leo. She turned and noticed Percy next to the son of Hephaestus. He ignored her presence.
"Percy Jackson. Step forward." Percy got up and looked at his father. "For your strength and defeating Gaea, we would like to offer you godhood and two wishes."
Percy stood silent for a while thinking back to the conversation he had with Annabeth before the war.
Flashback
Day before the war
"Seaweed Brain. Can we talk?"
"Are you breaking up with me?"
"No not that. I wanted ask something of you."
"Sure what is it?"
"If the gods offer you godhood after the war, take it."
"What? Why?"
She smiled. "Just a feeling I have Seaweed Brain. Trust me." She kissed him. "I love you Percy."
"I love you too Wise Girl."
The blonde girl walked back to her cabin to prepare.
Percy didn't quite understand why she wanted him to accept godhood. 'Maybe the seven will all be afford godhood.'
Flashback Over
Percy sighed knowing the gods can't grant the one true wish he had. Beside he promised his wisegirl he would move on. No matter how hard it was.
"I accept your offer to become a god. My first wish is to combine the two camps together with a portal or bridge. Something that makes both camps accessible quickly. My second wish is to be left alone for awhile. I need some time to put my life back together."
The Olympians were shocked that Percy accepted this time around. They made both Leo and Percy immortal as well as Nico who as accepted his offer.
There was a party after for all the survivors but Percy couldn't take the happy mood. He stepped out and headed to the elevator of the Empire state building.
"Leaving so soon?"
Sorry for all of you who are Percabeth or Solangelo shippers. This book will have neither. Please comment what pairings you want below. They can crossover. I don't care. I really really don't want any cannon pairings. Trying something new with this book. Also let me know what you think so far. Before I forget, this book will have a few of my OCs. Hope that doesn't bother anyone.
Til next time,
