"SILENCE!" Chaos screamed.
All of the Olympians stopped what they were doing and or saying. "I just wanted to say that Perseus here, is under my protection now. You may not kill him Zeus. I plan for him to be one of the greatest heroes. So, you all will be blessing him. You will all take care of him and train him. When he is fifteen he will go down to Camp Half-Blood. No one at the camp may know of him apart from Chiron. And remember, the Great Prophecy."
Chaos looked down at the sleeping child and placed his hand on the child's forehead and blessed him. "Good bye for now Perseus Jackson. Till next time." With a good bye hug to Hestia and a smile to the other Olympians he left through another black portal leaving behind dumbstruck Olympians.
TIME SKIP HALF A YEAR
Perseus was now a year and a half old. Everyday the gods and goddesses alternated taking care of him. Today however, was Lady Athena's turn. Athena had taken him to the Olympic Library where she normally spent her day reading. For about the first fifteen minutes Perseus sat and looked at a picture book while talking baby talk.
Athena, ignored him for a while until she heard shuffling. She looked up from her book and at the little baby in her care. He was trying to eat one of the book shelfs. Sighing tiredly she stood up and walked slowly towards the hungry baby.
"So spawn of the sea, you're hungry. Honestly, I thought with my blessing you would have at least been smart enough not to try to eat something that isn't food."
Perseus just let go of the book shelf and stared up at her with his big sea green eyes and smiled.
"What do you want Sea Spawn?"
Perseus just kept staring at her and slowly lifted his arms and clapped. Due to his blessing from Hestia, a bowl of blended bananas appeared in front of him. Athena, having seen this picked the bowl and Perseus up and sat him down on a table and fed him. As she fed him she talked to him knowing that he wouldn't be able to comprehend what she was saying.
"How am I suppose to take care of you when your father and I are arch rivals? And besides! I'm Pallas Athena! The Goddess of Wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, just warfare, mathematics, strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill! For Hades sake! I should be doing research on something or making something rather than feeding you. Why couldn't you just disappear and go to someone that actually cares about you? Ugh, why must you look so innocent that I just can not hate you?!"
Suddenly the doors of the library burst open surprising Athena causing her to drop the bowl of bananas on Perseus's head making him laugh.
In walks Lady Aphrodite.
Aphrodite strides in and heads towards baby Perseus and Lady Athena.
"When is it going to be my turn to take care of him?! I've only taken care of him once! Even Demeter has taken care of him more than I have! What is the meaning of this?! I mean, you don't even like the child! I want my baby model back!" Aphrodite screamed at Athena making Perseus stop laughing.
"It is because of your irresponsibility that I am stuck with him more. Your first and last time you 'took care' of this sea spawn Artemis found him crying in a pink frilly dress all alone in the park! Father decided that with Lord Chaos having this child under his protection, the child must be safe and watched over. He was none of those things when it was your turn!" Athena yelled back.
While Athena was yelling at Aphrodite; Perseus, no longer enjoying being in either's company crawled to the edge of the table and slid down to the floor. Quickly crawling away.
Obviously, being only about a year and a half old Perseus, even with all the blessings had no idea where he was or going to. That was when he saw his favorite baby sitters all sitting together in the main garden. He smiled and flashed to them.
Sitting in the garden was Lady Phoebe Artemis, Lady Hestia, Lord Ares, and my father.
Sorry it is so short. I promise to update again this week.
