Chapter 2: Growing up
Someone's POV
As I entered Poseidon's room, I decided against my early judgement. What if Poseidon sees me? He'll be mad, for sure. But maybe they'll see this as part of my nature. Though my curiosity might quite literally kill the cat. The cat being me. I thought. But then I pushed his door. No turning back now. Except for the bed away from my line of sight, there was nothing. His bed, then. It was was blocked by a shelf of coral, with different conch shells, and I would have stopped to look, but I went around it.
I was an inch close. An inch close to the BIG secret.
Suddenly I smelled the ocean, the coral reefs, and the beach breeze. I teleported as fast as I can to Upper East Side, Manhattan. Damn. Poseidon almost caught me. I mean, how could I be so careless? A plan. I have a plan .I finally decided. By the end of tomorrow, by hook or by crook, I will know it. And for those who know me, I HATE not knowing things.
The next day... Poseidon's POV
Yesterday, I thought Percy was in trouble. I sensed a presence in my room up in Olympus, though it turned out that there was no one there, just Percy, who fell on the floor. I was so happy that I can finally raise and be with my son, for once. And it has already been millennia after I sired somebody... even though I knew I am putting a hard life on my son's shoulders, he'll be strong. At least, that, I can give him. Percy stirred as I watched him from my coral desk. Finally, he opened his eyes. "Daddy!" He stood up, and hugged the lights out of me. "Morning, Percy." He smiled Sally's crooked smile. "Where is Uncle Hades?" That question took me off guard. "Hades? What do you want him for?" Percy smiled again. "He's so fun to be with! I mean not as much as you, daddy, but fun! He towld me about the owld times, when you wanted to mawwy Persephone and dad, It was hilawious!" I smiled weakly.
"Well, that was the old times. But, Hades can't come here. You'll have to come there in the underworld."
Percy still has that crooked smile. "Then I'wll just go in the underworld." WHAT? "Percy... there are DEAD people there. Don't they scare you?" I sat beside Percy on the bed. He shook his head. "Evewybody dies. That's the life cycle. Awll that matters ish you got a chance fow life. Wight dad?" I stared at Percy for a long time. I can't help but think that Sally has really taught him well. Somebody cleared his throat. My head snapped to the left, where Zeus was standing casually. "Hewwo Uncwle Zwoos." Percy did a small and comical bow. Zeus nodded. "Poseidon, Aeolus wanted to ask you about the Hurricane you want to put onto Rio de Janerio, and you have to go to his fortress, right now." I stood up. "If you please, my lord, please take care of my son." Zeus nodded. I teleported to Aeolus' fortress. The sooner I go, the sooner I get to spend my time with Percy.
Athena's POV
I bumped into Hera as I was entering her temple. "Nice to meet you here, Athena." I smiled. "Hera. I want to talk to you about pressing matters." Hera got alarmed. "Is my husband involved?" I nodded gravely. Hera ushered me towards her temple, where our conversation won't be heard.
"So what is it, another siring?" I shook my head. "I'm afraid I do not know. Yesterday, as I was passing the throne room, the unmistakable smell of death lingers in the room. We'll all be called if Uncle Hades was there, and we all know that Father hates his throne room smelling like death." Hera nodded. "Also, I've overheard father and Uncle Poseidon conversing in HIS room. Poseidon was thanking father for something, and Father actually said 'see you tomorrow'. HE HAS NEVER SAID THAT." Hear looked at me sceptically. "How is my husband related to this?" I sighed. "I think that the big three are up to something. It is possible that Uncle and Father went to Hades' domain to get something, and then went to retrieve it after quite some time. Personally, I would check Uncle's room, because it was the first place they went to, based on my calculations."
Hera nodded approvingly. "I guess you have a plan, Athena." I smiled smugly. "As mortals have said before, Athena always has a plan."
That night... Hera's POV
"Both of you are acting strange." I, Zeus and Poseidon were all sitting on their thrones. Poseidon shifted uncomfortably."What do you mean, Hera?" I smiled coldly. Meanwhile, Athena was creeping towards Poseidon's room, while I do the diversion. Not a perfected plan, but we were on time pressure.
"I mean that both of you are acting like REAL brothers, unlike the cold shoulders before." Zeus looked at me blankly. "Isn't that what you want? A family?" I nodded. "However, I want to know how. Certainly there is something that changed both of you." Poseidon stiffened. Athena's in, Hera thought. "I should go." Poseidon stood, but I blocked his exit. "Tell me." I was glowing with power. "Um..."
"So this is your secret?"
Athena's footsteps were heard across the room. Poseidon glared at her. But when he saw a child, with jet black hair and sea green eyes, his gaze softened. "Athena. I should have known. You were the presence yesterday." Poseidon covered his face with a hand. The boy that was holding Athena's hand, when he saw Poseidon, he ran up to him. "Dawwdy! Wanna see Uncle Hades! Ish bowing in your woom! I love the conch shells, but, no one else to play with!" I look at Athena, her narrowed eyes confirming what I heard. This child is Poseidon's ...offspring. Zeus snapped. Hades appeared next to me. "Go with your uncle, Percy." Percy smiled at my husband. "Yes, Papa Zeus." He walked towards Hades, and they melted onto the shadows. I gasped. Now who's the real father? I glared at Zeus in my godly form. "He just calls me that. Poseidon is his real father." Athena and I sat on our thrones.
Poseidon told us everything. The woman dying, Hades taking care of him, being raised on Olympus.
He looked at us. I smiled warmly at him. If this...Percy has changed my husband, then I would quite like to meet him personally. I looked at Athena. "Do you know what you are forcing upon your son?" She glared pointedly at her Uncle. Poseidon nods. "Well. I for once, agree. I cannot let the boy be at the monsters' mercies. Especially a child of Old Seaweed." Poseidon grimaced. "Watch your tongue Peacock face." I laughed. I certainly can't wait to meet Percy Jackson.
After 6 years...Percy is 8 years old
"Mother!" Percy approached in Persephone's spring garden. "Yes, Percy?" I smiled at him. He has grown as ever, yet he is still as innocent as a child, while he is strong and courageous. He hugs me. "I got a perfect score when Calliope tested me!" I smiled. "Well, that's great, Percy. You've been studying all these time." Percy smiled at me. "Not only that! I got to make Tisiphone , Megaera and Alecto to laugh!" I smiled. "Well, you have this talent of making people like you , so I am not surprised. " Percy laughed. "I wonder if I'll ever meet a person I'm not gonna be able to stand?"
My smile vanished. Soon Percy, you will.
After 2 years...Percy is 10 years old. Athena's POV
"Percy, who is the wife of Orpheus?" Percy smiled. "Eurydice."
"The mortal who received Hera's blessing and was one of the Argonauts." He answered without missing a beat. "Jason." I smiled. "Okay, you passed." Percy looked at me is disbelief. "I DID AWESOME!" I laughed softly. "Say what you like, since you answered each question correctly, you deserve to boast." Percy laughed. "I want to help Mother Hera tending her garden first." I smiled as he rushed off to Hera's gardens. I guess that's what I like about Percy. He is always modest and humble. Between the five of us Olympians who learned of Percy's existence, I knew we all changed for the better. Zeus got less moody. Poseidon was more responsible. Hades started smiling and being optimistic. Hera was no longer the strict mother. And I, well I learned to accept others more openly.
But I knew that this was the calm before the storm. We have less than two years before Percy returns to the human world, his memory stolen by Hera and heavy enchantments placed on his memories until the right time is right. And if the great prophecy is about him, We'll have to train him as hard as we could to shape him.
I just hope Percy would accept our decision. And what's scary is, I just know that he'll accept it willingly, if it means the well being of Olympus.
So, How did it go? Next chapter is for the deal where Percy's memories is going to be stolen. Stay tuned guys!
