I do not own this story or characters, the characters in this story belong to Rick Riodan, and the story was created by Anaklusmos14. He has many great stories he has made I recommend reading them, for example "the Queens Champion".

Old Perseus will just be Perseus

Perseus Jackson will just be Percy

Percy POV

"You summoned us my lords and ladies" Said the arrogant ass of a so called hero Hercules, I couldn't take it anymore, as quick as anyone saw I pushed him in the face so hard he flew back into the doors he came through.

"Why did you do that to my son?" Zeus said outraged that someone did that to his favourite son; of course I couldn't care less about that so all I said was…

"My apologies but it felt so good doing it, it was a long time coming" of course the drama queen thought I was apologizing to him, I could tell by the big smirk on his. Who I was actually saying sorry to was Zoe she is the one that wanted to hurt him more than me after what he did to her, Luckily all she did was laugh and get try to get a few words between her laughing and trying to do a hurt mock face, but she wasn't able to pull it off mainly because of the laughing so I decided to laugh too.

This did not go well with Zeus, Veins were starting to seen on his face only barely keeping his anger in check the only him doing so was he though the fates probably wouldn't be happy if he vaporized someone. Fortunately Athena decided to intervene with her infinite wisdom, of course I wouldn't say in the sarcastic manner I was thinking in my head.

"Father, maybe we should start the book while Apollo attends to your… son." Hmm it seems not all the siblings of Zeus seem to like that much either, I wonder what they think about Poseidon's children in the room, I've made my peace with after the war, that doesn't mean the same for his children. Hmm Orion is here in the flesh, I wonder… That's all I got before he got the same treatment as Hercules, now Apollo had to treat two children of the big three. Of course that made Poseidon get angry that his son got hurt also, and now he was yelling at me demanding an explanation, I could think to say to him was...

"Well I had to make it even, it's not fair Zeus' kid gets knocked by me and one of yours doesn't" Of course I said this in a sarcastic matter, I find everything is a bit better with some sarcasm in it. "Anyway shouldn't we be getting to read the book I'm sure Apollo will explain to them what has happened in the book once they are awake, what's the book called Lady Athena?" let's just say Poseidon was grumbling in his throne after my sarcastic comment.

"Ahh It's called Altered Destinies, interesting title, all I think can of, from this title is someone defied fate, but that is impossible, that fates would not let something such as this come to pass." Replied Athena from a once pleased state because of the way he was berated to the confused to how someone could've defied the fates.

"Who would like to read the first chapter of this book?"

"I will Niece" Said Hestia from the hearth, "but first shall we make these heroes feel comfortable, perhaps a chair for you to sit on each?" She didn't even wait for them to answer she just summoned them for them all, but that is what my Aunt does she takes care of the family she has, I'm glad she is my patron.

"Thank you Lady Hestia" I replied, what, I was brought up right by my parents.

"It is quite all right, but should we not summon some of the hunters and our brother with Lady Persephone?"

"Yes, you are right Hestia, Hermes go get the hunters, Demeter you can go get hades and your daughter" Zeus said in a kind voice to Hestia, then a firm commanding voice to Hermes and Demeter, geez such a drama queen.

Moments later as Hercules and Orion were waking up Hermes flashed in with the hunters feeling disorientated after being flashed in.

"It's all right my hunters, it's like that for everyone after their first travel in that way, you'll be fine, just give it a few minutes, and you should be fine" Artemis Said to her hunters to try help them through the process they just had with the god of travellers, it didn't help he was the quickest god, so it was probably very nauseating for them.

"ALL RIGHT, WHO DID THAT TO ME? THEY ARE GOING TO BE IN SO MUCH PAIN WHEN I AM DONE WITH THEM!" Hercules yelled furious being embarrassed by a surprise attack in front of his father and the rest of the Olympian council. Right time to have some fun with opportunity that is before me today, so I sent a sly wink towards the Zoe from my time telling her not interfere with what I'm about to do.

"I believe that Orion, but when you flew at the wall you were able to connect with a punch knocking him out too, so it's all fair here no need to start a fight, we are just about to start to read the book, and if you were wondering why you are beside each other it's because it was easier to heal the both of you beside each other". In the corner of my eye I could see Zeus fighting with himself on whether or not to tell the truth on one hand Poseidon's son gets blamed, but I get away with no punishment.

"Lies, it was the newcomer that did it, he was the one that punched you, not my son, he is the one that did it" Poseidon said with a lot of anger towards me

"Oh? But why would I do that, I hardly know him, why would I punch someone I hardly know?"

"I do… not know" sighed Poseidon, and that was enough for Hercules it probably didn't matter to him who actually did it, he just cared that he got some type of revenge.

"I'll get you back for this Orion" Hercules whispered making sure no one heard him, but with what I did to his face voice was a lot easier to see, it's that or he isn't that smart to begin with, I hope for the latter but I was taught never to underestimate your opponent.

The hunters in the throne worked out what was happening, and were snickering in the corner what happened to Hercules and Orion; those two were given the strongest hate by the hunters, especially Orion for going hunting with their lady Artemis.

"Finally you are here, Hades, you sure took your time getting here" Zeus said to Hades in a loud enough voice to make sure all talking stopped around him

"Yes well I told it was about something important, and it better be, I actually have some work to do, what is it I am here for exactly?" replied my father in a bored tone with what looks to be a 'why do I have to be here' face, and I can understand that this is one of the few places I do not want to be ever.

"The fates sent a book with some heroes from the future undetected into my throne room, and we must read it, to understand how hard life is to live through 'The greatest hero's eyes'". Of course Zeus had to do the eye roll at the greatest hero part probably because he know there is a chance that it is not about one of his children.

"Well if the fates have said it to be done, then let it be done, I am not foolish enough to defy the fates request even such a request that is as odd as this is, shall we get started? Sister would you like to start?"

"Of course Hades" Hestia said with a smile "First can someone please wake up the two children?"

"I will do that for you Lady Hestia" Replied Percy, it was good to see his Patron again after so long of not seeing and also not seeing his dad, he missed him too but he wanted it to be a surprise for everyone.

"Nico… Bianca… It's time to get up, you have an audience watching you guys sleep." That got them up quick; they even jumped in shock at all the people in the throne room. I got a good laugh out of it seeing them so scared at the thought of being watched sleeping. So would I, but it hasn't happened yet so I'm fine. "This isn't a dream, but you are on Olympus with the gods, it seems the fates have given us a job to do, but we must do it with caution you don't want to upset any of the gods in this room."

"How did we get here?" Asked Nico, Bianca was a bit shy with being stared at by big beings, hunters and four grown male heroes, cough I mean two grown male heroes, Perseus and Theseus.

"I don't know Nico, but we are in the past at the moment at there isn't anything we can do but do what the fates sent us to do, that is to read a book sent by them so the gods can see what it's like for demigods to grow up, they are just seeing it through the point of view of 'the greatest hero' ever". Even I had to roll my eyes at that one, whoever it is I feel sorry for them. Little did I know at the time that everyone was reading about me.

"What are your names heroes?" Zeus said surprisingly without any dramatic statement, I guess he isn't a drama queen all the time

"My name Is Zoe Nightshade" Many gasps were heard throughout the room, the loudest being from her past self being in the same room as her.

"My name Lord Zeus, is Nico Di Angelo"

"My name Lord Zeus, is Bianca Di Angelo"

"I guess it's me next, my name is Perseus Jackson, I was named after the Greek hero Perseus, but call me Percy" I nearly laughed as I saw Perseus' face I said when I was named after him.

"Right now that the introductions are done, we can start reading this… book" Zeus said finishing this oh so stimulating conversation.

Chapter 1

A young boy ran through the woods of Central Park in New York City.

"New York city, what is this place, and what happened to the old York city?" Said Perseuswith confusion shown on his face

"New York City is place where people go to live and start their live, sometimes people go to other cities around the world to do the same thing but they each have a different environment than what you live with now, and from each other." Replied the older Zoe "It is truly sad to see the world now from the way it used to be"

An overly large hound was hot on his trail as the boy weaved his way through the trees, desperately trying to escape. The boy had been on the run for almost two full days now. No matter how many times he managed to lose one, a new monster seemed to find him within a few hours. It had been three days since he had last eaten and the malnutrition was beginning to take its toll on the ten-year old.

"This boy should be eating the grained foods, if he is to be big and strong and healthy."My Grandmother/Aunt said and of course in the future she would be saying he needs to eat more cereal at that age.

His body was weak and beginning to fail him; the only thing that kept him moving was sheer willpower and determination.

"Greatest hero they say I highly doubt that" Hercules scoffed thinking how the fates do think he is the better hero than a ten year old boy, it was sheer stupidity he thought but he didn't speak his idea out loud he didn't want to see the fates ever he wanted to get immortality, so he never had to have the string that held his life.

He could feel the beast slowly gaining on him as he was already at his peak when it came to his endurance while he prayed for a way to escape the terrifying creature. Just as he was losing hope, he saw two people standing next to a small fire in a clearing just a few yards away. He didn't have the energy to yell for help, so he just put his head down and used the last of his strength to jump across the fire, hoping the two strangers would help him.

"That is very dangerous, decision to make trusting strangers especially if it's against a monster, and they are mortals the monster probably won't even care about them, and just go straight after him, this boy is just stupid" the hunter Phoebe said with such disgust especially when she said the word boy, I was hurt that she said I know we had made peace between us in my time but it still hurt to know she thinks that.

Zoe saw my look of hurt and squeezed my hand when no one was looking to help reassure that she was fine with me in the end and for that I am grateful that she is here with me.

"That is unfair to say huntress, yes he is a boy, but a girl in the same situation probably would've done the same under the circumstances. He is just learning about the world that he was born into with what looks no mortal parent to tell him what was in store for him later in life" Ironically it was Athena that said this seeing as I was born a son of Poseidon, it made me feel a bit better to know she was backing me up even though she didn't know it was me at the moment. Zoe doesn't even know this bit of me yet I'm sure she'll see soon enough though I just hope I don't just yet I still want to live in my lifetime. At this silence it gave Hestia a chance to start from where she was reading before she was interrupted.

When the boy landed on the other side of the fire, he tumbled roughly to the ground. He turned around to see a sight he never thought he would see in his life. The man stood in front of the monster which seemed to be bowing to him, before he snapped his fingers and a crack appeared in the ground and swallowed the monstrous dog into the earth.

Confused at this, many of the people in this room were confused on what Hades was doing there and with another person, the people on Olympus thought of Hades as a bit of a loner who always stayed in the underworld.

"What are you doing there Uncle?" Apollo asked, hmm it seems Apollo is being a bit more serious than what he usually is, maybe it's because Orion is here, and wants to make sure Orion is scared of him, I for one do not mind this idea or maybe as time went on Apollo became less serious and more happy because of less than constant action the gods have seen over the years. I know there hasn't been any real action over the years I know this because I grew up in the underworld with ghosts how would I not know it's been boring for them.

"How should I know, this is the future maybe if you let Hestia continue she would be able to tell why I am there" Hades replied trying to work out himself why he was there, he had a thought why he was there, but wasn't completely sure. Meanwhile he was thinking Lady Persephone did not have a happy face on her face, she was thinking of why he was there and a punishment on what she could to him. Percy had seen that face before but for different reasons he knew his mother, and was feeling sorry for his dad.

The boy immediately started to panic, assuming he had just found someone far worse than the giant hound. As he tried to scramble to his feet, he was quickly engulfed in warm comforting arms. The panicked boy turned to meet warm glowing red eyes.

This Confused the gods even more, Hestia is usually found on Olympus, why she would be with Hades no one knew, but Hades and Hestia, not even Hades' wife knew what he was doing there with Hestia, but she was glad he was with Hestia instead of some other woman, now she didn't have use that punishment she had thought of.

The eyes were glowing like the embers of a fire and despite the shock of what he had just seen, the boy immediately calmed at the woman's touch. As he stared into her eyes, he felt relaxing warmth spread throughout his whole body. After a minute in the woman's arms the young boy finally spoke

"W.. Who a..are you?" He stuttered out, still trying to catch his breath.

The woman gave him a gentle smile, "My name is Hestia. You don't have to worry anymore; my brother got rid of the monster for you." She told him kindly.

The boy's head snapped around, only now remembering the other man. When he looked at the man, he saw black eyes and an expression that, while it wasn't friendly, it wasn't unfriendly either. It was more a look of curiosity on the man's face.

"Thank you for saving me." He quietly told the man, still unsure if the man might want to hurt him.

"If I really wanted to hurt, I would've let the monster have him instead of getting rid of the monster" Hades snorted

Only Zoe, Nico, Bianca, Hestia, my mother Lady Persephone, and I knew that was a lie, we didn't have to see the emotion in his eyes or hear his voice, we knew who he really was, and our other part of the family just never gave him a chance.

The man gave the boy a small smile as he looked into the child's eyes. After a few seconds, the man got a look of realization on his face and then anger. He turned to the woman with a scowl on his face.

"He is a son of Poseidon. I can see it in his eyes and the smell of the sea on him. Of course neither of my brothers could stay true to the oath they forced me into." He snapped at the woman.

"Ha, this is a story about a son of mine, my son, the greatest hero ever" Poseidon said with great pride in his eyes, oblivious to the reaction to what he said from his two sons that are in the room, Orion, and Theseus.

"Let us see where this is going first kelp head, Hades is with your son, and it seems you have broken an oath all of the 'big three' have made, this is serious stop being so childish" replied Athena effectively shutting him up. "Aunt if you please, can you please continue the story so we may know more about what our children go through?"

Hestia looked at her brother with a disapproving expression on her face. "Yes, our brothers may have wronged you but it is not the boy's fault. He is not to blame and I will tell you right now Hades, you will not seek revenge on Poseidon through this boy, he is innocent." Hestia said with a glare at her brother.

Hades looked as if he were about to argue with his sister before looking at the boy one more time. When he did, his face softened just the slightest and he nodded, "Very well sister, I will let the boy be... for now."

"Wow… Uncle are you getting soft in your old age?" laughed Hermes, but he didn't get far as shadows started to circle him until it was too late for him, his mouth was effectively shut by shadows.

"What were you saying Nephew?" Hades said trying not to laugh at the revenge he got on Hermes, all Hades got though was a shake of the head saying he couldn't talk. "Ever say something stupid like to me again you know now that it will get a lot worse, do you understand?" as Hades was saying every word he was taking a step by step towards Hermes throne until they were nose and nose making sure never to lose eye contact. It's just say my cousin got the right answer pretty quickly.

The boy who was still in Hestia's warm arms was watching the conversation with fear and curiosity. He never knew his father but apparently these were his father's siblings. When the boy turned back to Hestia, she smiled warmly at him and asked, "What is your name child? And why are you all alone in the woods in the middle of the night?"

"Finally we can hear who this 'great hero' is" Ares said, "I wonder how strong he'll be when he's older, the punk better be a strong warrior".

"Be quiet Ares" Hera scolded which was surprising to me; I didn't think she would care since he is demigod of one of her brothers, which means he came from an affair. Since she is Goddess of marriage she hates children from other woman who aren't with their husbands.

"My name is Percy."

Everyone turned to Percy in shock, the only ones that were not shocked from this news was the future Zoe, Nico, and Bianca. They were just surprised that he didn't know that fates had picked as 'the greatest hero'.

He said quietly before he looked down as his expression changed from quiet and shy to one of anger and rage.

"Why are you so angry?" Demeter asked worried hearing about a boy so young of age wondering around without parents, "you found two people that had helped you take care of the monster that was chasing you."

"I cannot answer that, but I think if Lady Hestia continues reading I am sure you will find out why I am feeling anger and rage, please continue Lady Hestia"

"I am here because my mother is dead. My stepfather killed her a couple of days ago." Percy spat as his sea green eyes glowed with power and rage.

By the end of this sentence all the hunters were seething, as well as the future Zoe and Artemis. Nico and Bianca were feeling sympathy towards their brother, as they had no memory of their mother, but he saw his mother dead, and then was chased by monsters without protection. They may have no memory of their mother, but they were protected for it.

Almost everyone was angry, the only people that were not was Hercules and Orion, on the outside Orion was putting on a good act but most people in the room could see through it, as for Hercules, he just couldn't care. This Great hero had taken his place as the best, Hercules was jealous of this hero 'Percy', he had taken all his glory that he deserved after doing all the quests that he had done.

Percy sighed, he had expected this reaction from most people in this room, but now it was getting out of hand, they were losing sight of what the fates had sent them, now he had to remind them. Slowly around the room water starting float around the room above people's heads, including Orion, and Hercules, they were paying attention to what was happening, he just didn't like them. He gave them five more minutes if he didn't have anyone's attention the water would drop on their head, lucky for him all the hunters noticed as well as Artemis so they were safe, as well as him. He didn't want to be hunted down by them ever.

Five minutes were up the only people that got wet were Zeus, Hermes, Apollo, Ares, Orion, Poseidon, and of course Hercules. Poseidon was able to dry instantly, but the others were not so lucky. Orion may be Poseidon's son but he was not strong with his power over water so he stayed there soaked.

"Why did you hit me with water? Dry me now" Zeus commanded in an angry voice. Poseidon did it for everyone, but Hercules, he found him to be too arrogant.

"You all weren't paying attention to what was happening around you, your domains were getting out of control because of your anger, so I gave you all a time limit. If you didn't pay attention by the time that the time limit was gone you got soaked".

Hades' eyes widened at the sight, the boy's power rolled off him in waves. Never before had he seen such power from such a young child

"Huh, what about me, after all I am known to be very powerful, I doubt this kid could be stronger than me in any way" Hercules said trying to sound superior than the other demigods in the room.

"You know you are trying to sound more powerful than ten year old kid, who Lord Hades just said as the most powerful child he has ever seen" said Theseus trying to tell Hercules, that he was being very arrogant with a way that he doesn't get hurt by him.

"Yeah, whatever" scoffed Hercules

Hades looked the boy, he was skinny and clearly malnourished but that was only the beginning of his problems. A scar marred the boy's face beginning on his forehead and running down his face, over his left eye all the way down to his chin. The boy's arms were covered in cuts and scratches as well as scars around his wrists from what could only be caused from being restrained.

Slowly you could see Poseidon and many other gods clutch their thrones trying to get through this part of the book, whoever did this they wanted to curse, but they also knew the fates would not allow this. The fates only sent this book to let the gods see what's like for a demigod to go through in his or her life.

"Why didn't you tell us what happened to you, we could've helped you" whispered Nico to his brother

"It was in the past, no matter what happens in the future, it won't affect the future for me. I was a kid back then there wasn't much I could do to stop it." I said, I didn't want to say anything anymore, I did hurt when I bring it up, but like I said it's in the past, it can't hurt me.

Hades decided to take a look into his memories. The more he saw the angrier he became. Even the Lord of the Dead had limits to things he could take and what he saw made him rip someone's head off, starting with his brother for leaving his own child to such a life.

Poseidon put his head down in shame thinking how he could do that to one of his own children, even Theseus and Perseus looked at Poseidon in shame for what he had done.

Hades pulled back from the boy's mind and looked at his sister; it was clear she had read the boy's memories as well. As the two siblings looked at each other, an understanding seemed to pass between them.

Hades stepped closer to the boy who immediately tensed as if readying himself for a fight.

"I wouldn't do that to a child, I maybe the god of the underworld, but that doesn't mean I would do something like after searching his memories, that's cruel" said Hades with obvious disgust in his voice for the idea that was being insinuated towards him

"Sleep." Hades said in a stern but soothing voice as a shadow passed over the boy's face.

Percy's eyelids drooped but he did his best to hold on, something that impressed Hades immensely. Hades waved his hand over the boy's face again as Percy finally lost his battle as he fell into a deep sleep still wrapped in Hestia's arms.

Hestia nodded, "What can we do for him? I will not let this boy go suffer another minute in the mortal world; he's seen more horrors than any person should see in a lifetime, let alone a child."

Hestia nodded, "What can we do for him? I will not let this boy go suffer another minute in the mortal world; he's seen more horrors than any person should see in a lifetime, let alone a child."

Hades nodded his agreement as he looked to his sister for what she was thinking.

"I would take him with me to Olympus but you know Zeus would kill him first time he sees him. I would tell Poseidon but I think he has done enough already and I doubt the boy will want anything to do with the man who left him to such a fate." Hestia explained carefully as she looked at her brother with hopeful eyes.

"Must I remind you of the laws about raising children sister, you are usually more aware of this, unless you have found a way around that" Zeus said very carefully not to upset Hestia as everyone loves Hestia and making her an enemy would be making your own tombstone.

"Yes I know of the ancient rules, you do not have to remind me young man, I perfectly know well enough what they are" Hestia scolded Zeus and to say it was funny is an understatement everyone laughed while Hercules was embarrassed about how his father went about the idea, he is the king he should be making his words law!

"Now before I was rudely interrupted, I was somewhere in this book, I… just… need… to… find… it… ah here we are"

Hades' eyes widened when he realized what she was hinting at, "You can't expect me to raise a son of Poseidon."

Hestia raised an eyebrow, "Brother I know how much you miss your children. Percy could be a way for you to get them out of that cursed casino one day."

Hades shook his head, "Persephone would never allow it and would tell her father the first chance she gets."

"He he I think it's a bit late for that now" Hermes said laughing before shadows decided to wrap around his mouth again.

"I told you Hermes, this is your second chance the next one will hurt so much you'll be begging your anyone to come help you" Father you are an evil genius, I should really get him to teach me his methods so people know not to mess with me.

Hestia smiled, "I think she actually might like the idea of raising a son who isn't one of your demigods. It would give her more incentive to stay in the Underworld on a more regular basis."

"This is true husband, if you were to do this, I would do my best for him, as if he were my own child" Persephone said

Many in the room were surprised by this, but not Demeter she was hoping that she was going to have grandchild, she was happy that is, if Hades, her brother were to agree with the proposition that is in front of him.

Hades looked thoughtful for a minute before he frowned, "The child is most likely the one of the prophecy."

"What Prophecy?" Apollo asked, "I am god of prophecy, should I not know what this prophecy is?" everyone leaned forward hoping to hear the prophecy that Hades was talking about

"No Lord Apollo, you can only wait until it is said in the book, I do not want to give too much about the future, it could lead to other events that may not be in the fates design" I replied, trying not to snort at my own reply, I just couldn't be bothered explain something that will probably be in the book.

Hestia smiled again, "And who better to face our father than a boy raised by one of the big three. We both know that father is trying to rise whether Zeus is willing to admit it or not. I will be the boy's patron and we can ensure that the choice he makes is the correct one."

"Hmm wise decision Aunt, helping him learn, so he can choose the right side, the side you are on" Athena explained

"I would only do what is right niece, not what gains my favour" Hestia said in a scolding tone that can make anyone feel bad.

Hades looked unsure for a minute before slowly nodding, "Perhaps you are correct. He could be a way to earn the house of Hades the respect it has been denied for millennia. I will raise the boy but I leave convincing Persephone of your plan to you. There are only three months until she returns to the Underworld, so you may want to start working on that soon."

Hestia smiled warmly at Hades, "I will brother."

Hades nodded, "And what do I tell the boy when he wakes up?"

"I will come with you as it may take a while to explain everything." Hestia replied.

Hades nodded and was engulfed by a shadow while Hestia smiled widely as she and Percy vanished into a flash of flames.

Line Break

Hestia stood in the throne room of her brother Hades. Said brother was sitting in his throne as both thought about the events of the past few days. They had explained everything they could to Percy who had taken the information surprisingly well. He seemed relieved to finally know why it was he could breathe underwater and why sea creatures and horses seemed to speak to him in his mind.

Poseidon was still dwelling over what he had in the future to leave his son on own with no help what so ever for his mother, and he had also broken an oath that his brothers had made with him, that had never been done before so it must have been a serious oath them to make it in the first place.

One fact was obvious about the boy, he had no love for the father who left him and his mother alone to face the horrors his stepfather had put them both through.

This made Poseidon feel worse hearing what he left his son to, instead of helping him, he was off doing gods know what. His son has every right to hate him after what he went through.

Despite Hestia trying to explain the ancient laws forbidding Poseidon from interfering, Percy would hear none of it. He simply wished to never think of Poseidon as his father.

At hearing those words, a wicked grin had appeared on Hades' face. What better way to hurt the brother that had wronged him so many times in the past than by adopting his demigod son as his own. When asked if he was okay with the idea, Percy jumped at the offer, wishing for nothing more than a place to live other than the streets.

The minute Hades made the adoption official by claiming Perseus Jackson as his demigod son, the boy's eyes had shifted from a vibrant sea green to a pitch black with only a ring of sea green around the irises. The boy looked very much the part of a son of Hades, his deep scar running the length of his face only adding to menacing look the ten-year old carried as he looked around his new home in the Underworld.

Everyone looked at Percy, to see the scar that went down his face, how they didn't notice it before no one knows, maybe they were focusing on the book and what was going on no one noticed the scar that was there, apart from his siblings and future Zoe. Nico and Bianca never questioned him before; they thought it might have been too difficult to talk about.

"Brother, please tell me you are doing this for the boy and not simply to get back at Poseidon." Hestia said worriedly, finally breaking the silence that had enveloped the siblings.

Hades shook his head, "I will not lie to you by saying that hurting Poseidon does not make this even better but I do wish to help the boy. You were correct when you said I missed my children. If you can convince my wife to accept the boy then he will have a far better upbringing than he would have on his own in the mortal world."

Hestia nodded seemingly satisfied with the answer, "You do know that Poseidon will fight you for the boy when he finds out."

Hades scowled, "He can do what he pleases; he certainly did Perseus no favors leaving him on his own with his stepfather."

"All men are the same, he'll just grow up to be an egotistical, arrogant ass just like the rest of them" Said one of the hunters, all the while Artemis was looking at Hercules as he was the perfect example as the egotistical and arrogant side of men.

"Not all of us are sister, some of us try to help others out instead getting what we want" Apollo said with anger and a warning glare directed towards Orion, let's just say Orion was getting close to that door Hercules still wanted to hurt him after the so called brother blamed him for hitting Hercules into the door.

"You know the ancient laws forbid him from interfering." Hestia argued.

"No! I am sick and tired of those Olympians blaming their neglect on the ancient laws. He did not have to bring the boy to Atlantis to raise him but it is more than within his power to check on his child occasionally. The boy is now my son and Poseidon will have to deal with the consequences of his neglect." Hades spat.

"I am feeling it right now, and it hasn't even happened yet" Poseidon said wiping a tear that escapes from his eye.

"Father, you are generally a great father, but you seem to forget things, just like everyone else, I'll help you through it" Theseus said trying to convey his now broken father, not even Athena was shooting insults at a time like this, she had too much pride to do that.

Hestia's eyes widened at her brother's outburst until she smiled a bit, now convinced that Hades would do right by Percy as she had hoped. Now it was her job to convince Persephone to accept the child as it would not do for Percy to grow up without a motherly figure in his life. He was her first ever champion and she would make sure Percy lived the life he deserved after what his life had been leading up to that point.

Hestia nodded to her brother, "Thank you brother. I have a conversation with your wife to have but I will return to visit the boy as long as it is okay with you."

Hades nodded, "Of course Hestia. Of all our siblings, you are the only one to ever treat me like a brother and not an outcast. You have an open invitation into my realm."

"Do you really think that Hades?" Hera asked with worry and sadness in her voice, typical Hera, of course she is concerned now since she is the goddess of family.

"Did it not just say that in the book?" Hades snapped back with anger, the fact that they had to be told by a book is frustrating they couldn't even work it out for themselves, they are like children.

Hestia smiled before she vanished in a column of flames back to Olympus.

Hades waved his hand making a shadow appear as the Fury Alecto appeared in front of her master.

"What is it you need my lord?" Alecto rasped.

"I now have a son, Perseus Jackson. He is a demigod son of Poseidon who I have adopted. I have many great plans for my son and I will need you to prepare him for these." Hades explained.

Alecto looked shocked but nodded, "Of course my lord; what are your wishes?"

"Nothing yet for I will train the boy myself for a while but I will need many teachers for my son's training and you will need to set it up with the chosen heroes to train the boy. For now, simply spread the word that a new Prince of the Underworld has been crowned and he shall be treated as if he were my own flesh and blood within my realm." Hades explained.

"As you wish my lord." Alecto bowed before vanishing from the throne room of Hades.

Hades sat back in his throne, a satisfied smile on his face. The time for his children being shunned would soon end. Perseus Jackson would make some changes on Olympus, he was sure of it. When the time came, the son of Hades would become the greatest demigod warrior the world had ever seen; Hades would make sure of it.

"That is the end of this chapter, who would like to read next?" Hestia asked

"We will read later, it's time Orion got what was coming to him" Hercules said while cracking each of his knuckles in anticipation

Hey guys remember to review I got some great reviews last time and was happy that you all liked it, I hope you like this chapter too, it did take a while to write but it'll be worth it in the end, I've been trying to think of different to get each of the gods in the book, but I have been finding it hard to do but I do promise ill try to get them all in there
