Chapter 1: Remember Me For Centuries
Some legends are told,
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me,
Remember me for centuries
Percy looked up at the night sky, pointing out the constellations that he could remember. There was Ursa Major, Orion, Taurus and of course the most recent formation, Zoe the huntress. A smile appeared on his face, imagining Zoe up there, probably hunting the great beasts with Orion. He had recently spent many nights simply stargazing even when past curfew. He sighed as he looked at his watch. It was half past midnight, so he should be returning to his cabin. He scratched his head, wishing that he could stay longer, but the harpies were more vigilant during the hours between midnight and dawn. He stood up and stretched and began to walk up the beach, towards his cabin.
A lot of things had happened after the great giant war. He had seen little of Jason, as his duty as Pontifex stole much of his free time, Leo's return from death with Calypso in his arms. He chuckled at the thought of the petty arguements between Reyna and Piper when it came to how both camps could hold events that both groups could participate, or the occasional Clarisse and Frank fights on which form of the God of War was better. The arrival of the new kid Alabaster and his vast knowledge of magic had made him the instantaneous counselor of the Hecate Cabin. He grinned as he remembered Nico's confession and his relationship with the Solace kid. What could he say, he was happy for the emo. Hazel had risen the fifth cohort to its former glory single-handedly (though she could never stop thanking Percy, even when he always said that Hazel deserved more credit). Thalia had taught the hunters to be warmer to the boys, though he could always overhear Thalia and Hylla's, the amazon queen, pranks for the males of both camps. Even the gods had changed, becoming even more connected to their children, ushering in a new era of peace.
Only one thing ruined his mood.
Annabeth had become distant lately, her work in Olympus had kept her from visiting Camp as much as he wanted her to. He couldn't just visit Olympus willy-nilly either, even when he was a Champion of the Olympians. During the rare moments he was there though, she was so ingrossed in her work that when he tried to speak to her, she'd simply brush him off. Sure, he understood the situation and the circumstances so he kept his distance. He distracted himself with minor quests, training and the usual visit from one of the gods followed by a demand, no a request, to retrieve another lost item owned by the scatter-brained gods.
He shook himself from his doldrums when he arrived at his cabin. He was greeted with a soft sea breeze following his arrival, calming his nerves. He removed his jacket and threw it in the laundry basket when he suddenly noticed something. The salt-water fountain was a faint rainbow. He looked at the top of his fountain.
Please give one drachma to recieve your call.
A collect Iris-message, like the one Bianca had sent him a few years ago. He dug in his pockets and found a drachma. He threw it in and chanted "Oh Iris, goddess of the rainbow, show me... um... show me what needs to be seen".
Instantly, the light glowed brighter and he looked into the message. What he stopped his heart abruptly.
It was Annabeth.
In bed.
Without clothes whatsoever, covered by a blanket, her sleeping face covered in bliss and satisfaction.
"Hey Perce" a familiar voice said.
"Apollo"
Instantly, a face appeared in the mist, grinning while sporting shades. "Percy! Hey man! Nice to see you bro!" He said so casually, as if Annabeth wasn't even there. "Apol.. wha.. how..." Percy stuttered, clearly at loss for words. "What up man? Cat got your tounge? Oh wait... is it about her?" He pointed behind him. By this time, Percy's blood ran cold, emotions running though his mind, anger, disbelief, envy... heartache. "Oh boy was she good Perce! Damn that was one of the hottest i've had!" He said, as if talking to his bro rather than the guy who had had his heart ripped out. "Hope you don't mind sharin' Perce!" He grinned "She kept talkin' about how she wasn't getting any, the stress getting to her, so being me, the helpful god Apollo, gave her some well deserved satisfaction" he stated. Percy merely stood there, listening to everything he said, tears starting to trickle down his eyes. Clearly Apollo didn't notice and continued. "Said it was her first time, and she was glad to give it to me" he laughed, ignoring the fact that Percy would be her first, and she would be his. "Alright Perce, see ya!" He said as he swiped the mist away.
Percy merely stood there for hours end, still trying to grasp the concept, the very truth, that Annabeth, the love of his life, the one he trusted the most, had cheated, cheated on him with another man, a god none the less! His face was a mask, unreadable as tears dried in his cheek. After four hours of standing, he crumbled to his knees, his legs givinf up. When hadn't showed up for breakfast, Grover had entered his cabin, finding Percy in his current state. Even when he was carried out and placed into the infirmary, his mind barely registered any of it. After a few hours, he passed out.
Days had passed since the revelation, though he told no one about Annabeth. He didn't want to ruin Annabeth's reputation in Camp. But as time passed, he got worse and worse. His fighting skills had plummeted, turning him from the most respected swordsman into the laughing stock of the camps. When sent on quests, he would get lost in his thoughts while his friends had to save him, dragging complaints from the camp. But the days got even worse.
The 7 demigods, plus Nico, Reyna, Clarisse and a few others were called by the Olympian Council.
Zeus looked at them then spoke "The demigods of this generation have done us a great service and for that, we reward you with the greatest gift of all: Godhood" every demigod in the room gasped at this. "All of you are to be made the immortal guardians of the children of the gods, with the consent of all the gods present" Zeus announced. "Step forth Jason Grace" with this, Jason moved forward "The title Pontifex is not a title deserving of my son, who has braved the trials of Gaea and her giants. We the Olympians proclaim you, Jason Grace, as the immortal god of heroes and Guardian of Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter" he said and a glow emitted from Jason. As the light died down, Jason looked better than before. He removed his glasses and blinked a few times, smiling as his vision finally returned to him. The other demigods followed suite, Piper being named the Goddess of Charms and Relationships, Leo becoming the a minor god of his Father's two domains: Fire and machinery. Hazel became Goddess of the riches below, Frank becoming the God of the beasts and courage, Reyna became the Goddess of protection and eternal guardian of the female gender. Nico became god of the shadows while Solace became the god of light. The Stolls became Mischief and Mayhem while the others became simply immortals. Annabeth was turned into the goddess of creativity and ideas which she was proud to uphold. This caused Apollo to give her a thumbs up, prompting her to blush. Then finally came Percy's turn. Poseidon looked down on him as did all the gods, knowing fully well about Percy's recent flukes. "Perseus Jackson. Recent events have come to light and the council has decided. You will be made into a Wanderer" Percy's eyes widened at this "You shall become the God's personal ambassador to Earth. You will serve as an immortal guardian, bringing in the children of the gods and guiding them to safety" Poseidon stated coldly. Percy merely nodded. He sighed and thought
'I have sown the seeds of my labor. Now i must harvest the fruits, no matter how unappealing it maybe.'
Then he mumbled to himself "This is how i'll be remembered for centuries i suppose."
Hey guys! That's the end of my first chapter! Hope you guys enjoyed it, also please be reminded that this will not be graphic, only a few statements about sex and such (hentai [pervs]). ALSO I DO NOT OWN CENTURIES BY FALL OUT BOY (Wish i did).
