Chapter 1: The Flashback Empire
A.N.
I apologize for taking so long my readers. I got caught up in my new ps4 with switching between far cry primal, far cry 4, DOOM, and fallout 4 I haven't found much room for writing. But im proud to say that I am back and the hiatus is over.
Disclaimer. I don't own percy Jackson and the Olympians, or my little pony.

8 days later.
P.O.V. Leon.
Location: 72 Roman hill
As the days continue to pass with me and my fiancé charging the ring whenever we can spare some energy from both of us and the house reservoir. I can't help but look back and wonder back to the years leading up to this craziness started.
Flashback: 4 years ago.
Location: jubilee school for St. Catherine's.
P.O.V. Leon
My third week at this new school and I already feel that sense as if I'm going to have a life changing event happen today. I'm going to be on my toes today. As I am opening the door to go inside I feel like someone or something is watching me. The feeling is only there for a split second then it goes away as fast as it arrived. I shake my head and continue walking on my way to meet my friend before class.
It's 30 minutes before class and I just now see my friend walking down the hallway getting her stuff from her locker.
"Hello Mai. Ready for social today?" I quizzically ask.
"Not really! It's Monday today, remember?"
"Yeah I remember it is Monday but you have to remember to we are only needing to be in this school till lunch and then we can go to the library to do what we usually do until we go home." I say back smirking at her.
"Oh yeah I remember now. We need to talk when we get there though, I have something to ask you in private."
"Ok I will look forward to this talk."
TIME SKIP: 12:30
Location: the public library.
Me and my friend have just finished doing our usual library stuff before finding a quiet place in the back of the library to talk
"Well I guess I'll start. Leon have you ever had weird things happen to you that can't be explained, things that no one else seems to see?" Mai asks me.
" yes I have had weird things happen to me that fit that description almost daily. It is getting harder to hide."
"I have found an explanation for all of it, it is magic!" Mai says to me.
With a look of contemplation on my face I say.
"Well that explains everything, but how did you figure this out."
Mai hands me a book that looks very old while saying.
"I found this book on my bed last night before falling asleep, I was able to read the first two chapters but something prevented me from reading any further. The book did describe what we did as uncontrolled emotional magic. It also says that the more events of this magic you have the more powerful you are."
While flipping the book I ask quizically.
"How often are yours? Mine are at least 1-3 times a day."
"Mine have never happened more than once a day! This means we are very powerful potential magic users. We can't show anyone though, you know the rumours of what the government does to 'special people' they can't know of this!" She says trembling in fear.
I lean over and hug my friend while saying.
"Everything will be fine, they won't get us."
(Backstory on Mai's fear, she absolutely fears/hates the government for what they have done in the past, what they continue to do to people, and is terrified of what the government is doing now. Anyway back to the hug moment.)
She quietly sobs into my shoulder as I pat on the back and hope we can stay hidden from the government.
1 month later
Leon's P.O.V.
It's been a month since Mai told me that magic exsisted and the relationship we share has quickly grown into something more than best friends. I remember the time we became boyfriend and girlfriend.
Location: forest clearing.
P.O.V. Leon.
My heart gives a jump in my chest as I see my best friend walk into the clearing we found for talking and basic practice of magic. We quickly learned on the third week of our mini training that if we used any more than small amounts of magic we will quickly start bleeding from our eyes, and nose.
Judging from the expression on Mai's face we will be only talking today and not training.
"Hello Mai how are you today, you look like you need to get..." That's all I get out before Mai lunges at me and presses her lips to mine in a intense kiss. My eyes widened in a brief moment of shock before I started kissing Mai back. We had to break apart a minute later to take a breath. I take the time to ask.
"Mai what brought this on, not that I didn't want it or anything but I'm just curious?"
"I've taken the time to think about what we're doing together and I can't help but realize that my feelings for you have grow past 'friend' status and has grown to couple status." She says looking me in the eye.
I just say three words before kissing her again.
"I love you."
Flashback end
That was the third best day of my life. The second big thing that happened was the receiving of the ring that holds infinite energy writhing its confines.
Flashback started.
Time: 3 years 8 months earlier
Location: home base forested clearing.
P.O.V. Leon
It's been 3 months since I got together with my girlfriend Mai and I built a small shack using a combo of magic that is a loophole in the only a small amount of magic used at the same time. Magic can only be used for spells in small amounts or the body will start to destroy itself. I found a way around that by instead of using the funnelled magic for a spell we simply funnel the magic into our body's limbs to increase our strength, and speed. This allows us to lift items greater than our own body weight and strike a hammer with a fast enough blow to drive the nail in with one shot. Making building a small shack extremely quickly. Me and Mai had that shack built in two weeks with this technique. Now me and Mai had a safe house for use in extreme emergencies.
Now back to reality I just returned from a training session about seeing how much magic we can channel into our limbs to push our limits to their maximum to increase our limits to find a package on my bed with a note next to it. I open the package to find a plain gold banded ring with a blue stone in the centre of the ring. The note attached to the ring says.
"Greetings, Leon
I've been watching your progress from the ether and feel that you could use some help. In this package will be a ring, what's so special about the ring you ask well that ring right there is the largest magical battery on your planet. It can hold 200 million units of magic, which would take you 20 years to fully charge. 15 years if your partner Mai helped you to charge it.
The magic you funnel into this ring is set to do two things.
can use the magic in this ring to fuel spells you can't do normally.
is set to do a dimensional travel spell that would transport you and one other to another world where your gifts would be able to be used not hidden.
If you want to leaves this world you now have the ability to do so in about 15-20 years.
We'll have fun tata Leon.
Goodbye,
Queen Galaxia."
"Who the fuck is queen Galaxia? She sounds like an important person." I think to myself.
"Well I better show this to Mai when I see her today"
Location skip: safe house number 1.
P.O.V. Leon.
I remembered to bring the note that came with the ring. While I'm waiting for Mai I push a little of my magic towards the ring to test out its function and nearly gasp as the ring starts lightly glowing as it absorbs the magic I pushed at it.
The door of the shack opens up just as the glow dies down and Mai walks in to the room.
"What did you call an early session for Leon?" She asks.
I just hand her the note without saying anything just silently asking her to read the note.
As she continues to read the note her eyes get wider and wider, when she is finished she is shaking in shock.
"How is this possible we were just handed the one thing we were starting to look for weren't we."
"Yes I believe we were my lynx, we can now leave this rotting world and find a place where we can use the gifts we were given."
Flashback end
The receival of that ring changed every plan me and Mai made in that first few months. We now had an escape possible within 15 years.
Something happened 8 months later that shortened that time by an even further 5 years.
Flashback starts.
Time: 8 months after ring.
Location: safe house 1
P.O.V. Leon.
A weird feeling has gripped me today and it is telling me to go to an unknown place. This feeling is like a concentrated pulse of magic is being directed at me and I need to follow it. The feeling is getting worse it's pulling me there, I have to follow it. There is no time to call Mai, I have to go. I use some of the energy of the ring to teleport to the location it is calling me to.
Location: unknown.
P.O.V. Leon.
When everything comes back into focus I am standing in the middle of a cave looking at a wall of stone with runes covering it. I could only recognize one runs out of all of the runes on the wall, the tune I recognized was a uppercase Z with a symbol for infinity connecting the tips of the Z. I saw this rune in a book that was describing ancient roman symbols on some of there temples.
I felt an urge to touch the wall and it glowed and slowly faded away to reveal a temple like structure that had an extremely close resemblance to the temples in the assassins creed games I have played. The first feeling I got when entering the temple was a rushing invigorating feeling that made me gasp.
It took me two seconds to realize that the feeling was feeling magic itself unleashed. The magic rushing around me sparks a reaction out of the ring causing it to act as if I am pushing magic into the ring. This sparks my curiosity as I reach out to the magic surrounding me and try to push it into the ring. What resulted from that push was the entire feeling of magic surrounding me to be pushed into the ring on my finger. When the lightshow is done I look at the current MU (Magical Units) number of the ring and what I see shocks me.
What the ring was before this event was 4500 signalling my 8 months of charging the ring. It now reads 1,004,500 meaning I just shoved 1,000,000 units of magic in the ring sighing 8 seconds.
