Zeus's POV
Hades and I were still worried about our brother. It's been 50 years and the curses still haven't been lifted. Earth is flooded with rain, even in the deserts. He still hasn't had any more children. We call him to Olympus, he reluctantly agrees. We ask him to life the curses placed on Ares, Dionysus, and Athena and their children. He growled and said not until he gets his son back. We knew Percy could never come back and didn't try to argue anymore because when his mind was set, there was no changing it. We talked about the weather with the mortals and he finally agreed to make the rain stop. He's still bitter and crueler than ever but, he lost all three of favorite sons. After 20 more minutes he left. Athena came to me with dirt and mud all over her face and twigs in her hair. She had tears in her eyes and said she didn't mean what she said to Poseidon and now she and her children faced the consequences of her big mouth. I was shocked at how she swallowed her pride and admitted defeat, but after the little stunt Poseidon pulled, she finally began to realize she wasn't so great and that her and her children's lives are at risk, along with Ares' and Dionysus' just because they helped her out. I tried to comfort her but when Thalia came in and heard what she was saying all she said was "Serves you right. Some wisdom goddess we have." and took a seat, making Athena cry harder. I glared at her and she shrugged her shoulders and flashed out. It broke my heart to see one of my daughter's like this, especially one of my stronger and braver daughters. After a while, she flashed out. I've been determined to find some way to get my brother to reverse to curse.
Elysium
Percy' POV
I woke up on a playground. I remembered how I was leaving the Empire State building when I heard someone behind me. They shape shifted into Annabeth and pushed me off the building. Before I finished falling, he projected my voice and prayed to my father. I shook it off and got up and looked around I saw two people that I recognized sitting on a bench. When they, saw me looking at them, they took a double take at me before running over to me. Silena and Beckendorf ran up to me.
"Percy? Is that really you?" Silena asked.
"Silena? Beckendorf? Where am I?" I asked, "I thought you were dead?"
They looked at me and shook their heads sadly. "We did die Percy. This is Elysium."
I looked around frantically and shook my head. I knew something was out of place. Now I know what it is, I'm dead.
"Do you know how you died?" Beckendorf asked me
I told them what I remembered before waking up here and they looked shocked. Then Silena gasped than got this distant look on her face. Then she returned to normal and said, "Sorry about that. But Percy, you have two people who really want to meet you."
Me and Beckendorf looked at her questioningly before she whispered something in his ear. He smiled and nodded to me. They led me down to a beach and I saw two guys, one who looked about 28 and the other who looked about 24, in the ocean surfing. I turned back to Silena who pushed me in the water. I found an extra surfboard and went surfing too. Then the two guys noticed me, they stopped and stared so I put on a show. After I rode out the wave, I paddled towards them.
"Hi, my name is Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon." I said.
Their eyes bugged out of their heads and the oldest one said, "As in the Percy Jackson? The one who defeated Kronos? The Hero of Olympus? Our half-brother?"
"Yeah, that's me… Wait half-brother?" I asked then it dawned on me a realization smacked me in the face. "Your Theseus and Orion aren't you?"
Theseus smiled at me and nodded. "So what happened to you little brother? How'd you die?"
My face darkened and I told him what happened from Annabeth's betrayal to my death. Their faces darkened to by the time I finished and Orion said, "Yeah, looks like for us, nothing good comes from loving a daughter of Zeus. Matter of fact, loving at all, the only loving people should get from us should be familial and friendly love. I'm tired of us getting our hearts broken by Zeus' family."
We got out of the ocean and went to their beach house. They gave me a room and some clothes. I couldn't sleep, not that I needed to since I was dead, but I walked out and went to the arena. I started training and used the pain and anger that I felt towards Annabeth and everyone that betrayed me and used it to fight. I turned around and saw Theseus and Orion staring at me in awe.
"What?" I asked.
"The speed, strength, and grace you used. You are a good warrior." Orion said.
They joined me and we started to train together. I asked them if they were still mad at Artemis and Athena for what they did to them and when they told me they forgave them, I was frustrated with them. How could they forgive the very people who led their downfall, who betrayed them? I started to work on my powers and to find out what else to do with them. I tried to learn to use my water powers in all forms. I started to train more and more using my anger and hatred and pain to fuel my strength. I started to train with Achilles, Thantos, Erebus, Nyx, Cronus, and Chaos. I told my brothers and they started to train us all. By the time we finished our training with all of them, we were blessed by them and receives a portion like about 1/5 of their powers. Chaos had made us all immortal and we couldn't die. We had rock hard skin and enhanced hearing, vision, and brain skills for battle tactics. We could mask our scents but we were stuck in Elysium until we were allowed out by the gods, or until they figured out about us. I learned to master my powers in all its forms, even in someone's body. I was the same guy except for one major change. I lost my fatal flaw and had a quick temper. I trained with my brothers for 50 years before the gods came to get us. But for what, they wouldn't yet tell us.
