DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING EXCEPT THE PLOT
"Leo Valdez, step forward my son." Hephaestus said." For your bravery I am prepared to offer you to be my apprentice for 10 years so I may show you the secrets of inventing. After that you are to return to the mortal world and you may invent whatever your heart desires. "He said with a hint of pride. Leo's response was "It would be an honor to be your apprentice; however, I would like to request that before I start…" there was a pause of tension." I could go seek out Calypso and free her from her curse of being stuck on that horrid island." Hephaestus had a completely shocked face at what his son just said. "But son why would you want to free a daughter of a Titan, she could betray us for all we-"he was cut off by Leo who said "Enough! Just because she is a daughter of a Titan doesn't mean anything! If I recall correctly she didn't take either side during the first Titan war so who are you to punish an innocent being!" Leo shouted at the top of his lungs. "Not to mention you swore on the river Styx to forgive all to Percy after the first great prophecy, so either way I can't be denied this request… with all due respect father." The Olympians were baffled by this but they knew he was right. "Very well son, you shall have what is requested" Hephaestus replied to his enraged son. ""Thank you father" and with that Leo stepped aside. Mars stood up from his seat and said "Frank Zhang! For your heroism I would like to offer you to be the official trainer to camp Jupiter until it is your time to pass, and I will remove your curse so you will dies as a regular demi-god would, in the face of battle of at an old age. Do you accept my offer.""Yes father, I gladly accept your offer if it means I will not have to worry about the stick that hold my life""Very well, hand over the remains of your curse" Frank then handed it to Mars to which Mars then mutter something in Latin and the stick disappeared. "Thank you father" Frank said with glee. Mars sat back down and Pluto emerged from the shadows and said "Hazel Levesque, for the service you have done for Olympus I offer to relinquish your curse so you may live on without the fear of someone else being cursed. Do you accept my offer?""Father I happily accept your generous offer" Hazel replied with a cheerful tone. Pluto began to mutter something in Latin and a dark aura left Hazel's body showing that the curse was lifted. Pluto then shifter to his Greek form and turned to Nico."As for you, I offer you to be judges of the dead in replacement of Minos after you have lived your life on Earth. This is not an offer that I offer anybody so be wise and accept it."Nico replied "Father I accept your generous offer and I shall not let you down". "Very well then my son, until then I will see you." And he disappeared in the shadows."Jason Grace I offer you to become an immortal being to rule as praetor of camp Jupiter, do you accept" Jupiter's voice echoed through the throne room. "Father I will only accept if Piper is made an immortal as well so I may be with her for eternity" Jason said with a stern voice."Son I cannot allow that for she has a different offer from her mother that is already decided. So no son, she may not be an immortal.""Then I deny your offer so I may be with Piper.""If that is what you want son then let I be" and Jupiter then sat down. Then the doors burst open revealing Annabeth. I ran toward her and gave her a big hug lifting her off the ground "I thought you were dead! Thank the gods your all right" I told her. "I missed you too seaweed brain, so what did I miss" I explained to her what has happened and all the offers before Zeus cleared his throat "If you don't mind we have to get this done" Zeus said. Aphrodite stood and said "Piper Mclean, I offer you to assist me in helping people fall in love with the right person till the end of your days come. Of course you still would be allowed to be with Jason as you travel the world. Do you accept?""I accept mother, so as long I am with Jason I am happy to oblige" Piper replied with a bit of a squeal in her voice. Bellona then walked up and said"Reyna, I cannot tell you how pleased I am at you for making the decision of fighting with the Greeks instead of at them. For that I offer you immortality so you maybe the Praetor of camp Jupiter for eternity so decision is made wisely and battle are made victorious. Do you accept?""I happily accept mother so as long as my home will remain safe" Reyna replies with a look of seriousness. With that gold light surrounded her and she became the immortal praetor of camp Jupiter. "Annabeth Chase, my greatest daughter. My offer is you train under my hand in architecture for 5 years and after that you may return to earth and build what you can with your own company that I will provide. Do you accept this offer?" Athena said with pride in her voice. Annabeth said "Mother I will greatly accept your offer if only I can spend 1 year with Percy before I begin.""Well before I can answer that you may want to listen to what Zeus has to say" Athena said in a suddenly serious tone. "What does he have to say?" I asked in a worried yet concerned tone. Poseidon stood up from his throne with tears in his eyes and walked out of the throne room."What's wrong, did I do something" I said with worry obviously in my voice. Zeus then said "We are worried of your power and fear someday you might turn on us because no other demi-god ever showed as much power as you have. That is why we banish you from both camps as well as Olympus and any other domain you wish to run off to." I was hurt at what I just heard, I just saved them twice and this is how they repay me! By banishing me from the places I love! "WHY! I have served you not once but twice! If I even have to ill even swear it!""No, for we are so worried that we cannot even accept a vow on the river Styx. We are sorry to do this but we must for the sake of Olympus. However we will permit you one last visit to camp Half-blood to pack your belongings and say your final good-byes.""What! NO! Please don't make him leave please!" Annabeth begged."It must be done Ms. Chase. Now since you have an offer I will force you to accept it since your work will do great for the world. Meeting adjourned!" and Zeus flashed out along with everyone else except for Artemis. She spoke up and said "Percy, I am so sorry about this even though me, Hermes, Apollo, and Aphrodite did not want this. But please do not bear a grudge on the Olympians." Then she flashed out. I had tears in my eyes and everyone was trying to tell me that it would be ok. We then headed towards the elevator to head back to camp Half-blood.
I was in my cabin packing my things and went outside to see everyone waiting to say their good-byes. I walked up to Chiron whose eyes were red from crying and said "I will miss you, you were like a father to me and without you I would've never survived. I will use what you have taught me to survive and always think of you." After I said this he looked like he was going to cry again and said "My boy… My dear boy, I will never forget you. You are by far the greatest hero I have ever trained and I am proud to have been your teacher." We hugged and I said my good-byes to everyone. The last person I approached was Annabeth."You know you can come with me and we can run away together""I can't and I won't. I have the offer of a lifetime with my mother and I cannot deny it. Percy I have waited so long to be an architect and I won't pass it up. Please understand." At those words I was heart-broken. The girl that I loved was giving up on me and I couldn't bare it. "FINE! BE THAT WAY ANNABETH TO THE GUY WHO LOVED YOU AND DID EVERYTHING JUST TO PROTECT YOU! To think I gave up immortality for you, sacrificed my life for you, I even jumped into Tartarus with you! To thing I even loved you, HA, what a joke!" with that I put my bag over my shoulder and stormed off with tears in my eyes."They'll pay. One day they will all pay what they have done to me. I was loyal and now I will be loyal to them no more." I exited the camp borders and headed out to my mother's house so I may be with her.
I arrived to my mom's house only to find the door open, that's weird because my mom never leaves the door open. I walked in hearing static coming from the TV and then I saw the worst thing I could possibly see. I say my mother in a pool of blood with Paul, their bodies limp and filled with teeth marks and deep cut all over their bodies. I let out a yell in anger at what I just saw and noticed something written in blood on the wall.
'Hope you enjoyed what you just saw. This is my parting gift from me to you just in case my plan failed.
-with pure hate
Gaea
I cursed at the top of my lungs and then sobbed my heart out. "I'm sorry mom… I'm sorry I wasn't here to protect you" I cried more and called the police saying there was a murder here and left. I walked to where ever my legs took me and I ended up in an ally. I turned around to walk back but I saw a mysterious man in pure black."Who are you and what do you want from me?" I asked in a threatening tone."My, my. Looks like someone has an attitude. But to answer your questions I am Chaos, creator of the universe, and I have been keeping a close eye on you for a while now Perceus Jackson. As for your other question, I would like to offer you a place in my army.""Let me guess, you want to make me the commander or general or something like that?""Excuse me! A position that high is not just given! It is earned. But you will start at the lower ranks as everyone else has and if you prove yourself worthy enough then you may earn a higher title. Do you accept what I am proposing?" I stood there thing 'should I accept this, I could be a trap. Then again I have nothing else to live for so why not' "I accept you offer Lord Chaos"" excellent, you shall be trained immediately".
