Hello everyone, I just want to type this to tell you that while Theseus is healing I will be writing in some of his stories. I will not be writing in A Time for Change or Theseus Stark. I will be focusing on Protectors, God of Time and Heroes, and an Untitled Project that we will be writing together. -Orion
I trust this guy with my life. Please put your trust in him while I heal.- Theseus
Before I get into Orion's story I should tell you my story. I was the first born child of Zeus and Hera. After my birth I was appointed to a seat on the Olympian council where my siblings would soon fill it. The first council meeting was to welcome Athena, Ares, Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis, and Hephaestus. The council looked like this Zeus and Hera at the front then to the left of Zeus sat Poseidon, myself, Ares, Apollo, and Hephaestus. To the left of Hera sat Athena, Demeter, Aphrodite, Artemis, and Hestia. The next council meeting I would be removed against my will to make room to my little brother Hermes.
"I have summoned you all here to make room on the council for my newest son, Hermes God of Travelers and Messenger of the Gods," Zeus began. "Does anyone volunteer to pass on their seat for him?"
Hephaestus raised his hand, "Father, I will give up my place on the council for Hermes."
"I will not allow it," father said. "You are too valuable of an asset to not be on the council. What say you Perseus?"
"I am the God of the Night, Time, Storms, Heroes, and Loyalty, I deserve to be on the council," I replied. "I see not why you would want me off of the council. How about we just add two new council members so that we can all keep our seats?"
"Who would you want to appoint to the council, Perseus?" father replied with a question.
"One of our sisters preferably," I replied. "Maybe Persephone or Hebe or any of our other siblings if you must, anything besides one of us giving up our seat on the council sounds good to me."
"Then you have just volunteered," Father said. "All in favor of the removal of Perseus from the council?"
Every hand was raised except for Hera, Artemis, Apollo, Poseidon, and Hestia. "If this is what you want father then so be it, I Perseus God of Night, Time, Storms, Loyalty, and Heroes hereby forfeit my throne to Hermes. Doing so means I am now the most powerful non Olympian god and will hereby watch only my domains," I spat at Zeus. "I will remember this day for when you need help the most I will only help once you are on your knees begging."
With that final sentence I flashed out and began to survey my domains. As I reached the night sky I saw the moon chariot flying towards the west and decided to watch it. Artemis was flying the chariot, but something seemed off. She then started looking around and said, "Perseus, I know you are there. Please join me."
"Hello, little sister," I greeted as I formed out of the night sky. "Why are you crying?"
"Because of what father did to you today," she said with a sniffle. "What are you going to do with your time now?"
"I will probably just watch over my domains and talk to the heroes," I replied.
"You will get bored fast," she said with a small smile.
"Well, I might go talk to Uncle Hades for a while," I retorted. "I haven't been down there in a while and the heroes is has are still part of my domain even if they are dead."
"Did you mean what you said before you left?" she asked.
"Yes," I replied before going back to the night sky.
"Perseus, if you are still listening please help if we need it," Artemis cried out. "If a war comes up we won't be able to win it without you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LINE BREAK (TIME SKIP)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the years went on I always remembered the words Artemis had cried out that night. I also kept in touch with all the gods who didn't vote for my removal, but most of the time I spent watching and training heroes when I could. I helped train Heracles, but he got lost in his womanizing ways and I could not save him. I also trained Perseus and helped him with all of his journeys to become the only hero to ever have a happy ending. I helped Theseus regain the Greek throne. Every hero from there on out was then trained and started doing petty tasks for the gods. Then during World War II I just sat back and let the children of the gods fight. Apollo had informed me of the prophecy and the pact between Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus. I was sure that Zeus would break the oath first and when he did I would keep an eye on that child until they got to camp and then I would introduce myself to them.
The night that Thalia Grace Daughter of Zeus was turned into a tree I swore that I would help the next child become the child of prophecy. That so happened to be Orion Jackson a son of Poseidon. When he was twelve he was set up. Someone had stolen the Master Bolt from Olympus and now Zeus blamed the poor child. A debate was happening on Olympus when I flashed into the throne room.
"I know who stole your bolt father," I said. "It was not the son of Poseidon. It was the son of Hermes, Luke Castellan."
"How do you know?" Zeus asked angrily.
"Well, I am the God of Heroes still and I have been watching them both," I replied with a glare.
"Why didn't you come here sooner?" he asked.
"Simply put, the time of the prophecy is now and you are just delaying it by sitting up here debating," I replied. "I suggest that Orion Jackson be sent to retrieve the bolt as well as Hades Helm of Darkness which was also stolen that night."
"What do you mean Hades Helm is gone too?" Athena asked.
"There were two symbols of power stolen that night, The Master Bolt of Zeus and Hades Helm of Darkness. Hades didn't say anything because he knew that father wouldn't believe him. Also, if you keep blaming Poseidon then you will never know that the Trident was also planned to be stolen that night as well," I replied.
"Why wasn't it then?" Zeus asked.
"Because Poseidon never leaves his trident in empty rooms," I replied. "Now, this Luke has been talking to a voice from some dark hole in the Underworld. The voice sounds like Grandfather and if it is that means he is reforming. You must ask for Hades help so you can send some Olympians there to scout out the entrance to Tartarus."
"What will you be doing?" Ares asked.
"I will be training heroes," I replied before turning to father. "Would you be willing to bring Dionysus back up here full time so I may take over my duties at camp once again?"
"It shall be done," Zeus replied. Before I could flash he said one more thing. "This meeting is adjourned. Perseus could you please stay for a moment I have something I need to say."
I nodded as the rest of the council flashed out. "What do you need to say father?"
"I want to reinstate you to the council," he replied with a tear rolling down his face. "I realized that I made a mistake. Hephaestus has already agreed to give up his place for you if you so wish it back."
"I will give you an answer after I help Orion get back your bolt," I said and flashed out and back to Camp Half-Blood. The place where I hadn't been in years, I was finally home.
