PERCY IS THREE

Percy was my favourite son. He was so cute. And yes, I actually said that. Even though he was only three, he can say all our names and well, really is very intelligent. I guess that's because Athena blessed him. He has those beautiful green eyes that he acquired from Poseidon. He has black hair, and fair skin. It was his birthday today and we were going to give him a surprise party. We had given Athena the task to distract him by telling him some stories on Hercules.

Athena ushered Percy into the throne room, where, we had decided we were going to hold his birthday party, and was deafened (not literally, of course) by a loud "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" shout by all of us. He was carried by us near the table where the cake was cut, and we fed him large pieces of chocolate too. We had a great party after that and enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Percy started opening his presents soon afterwards. Ares had given him a toy spear. Athena had given him a book, no surprise there. Aphrodite had given him clothes. Artemis and Apollo had given him a bow and a quiver filled with arrows. They had said that no matter how many arrows Percy used, he would always have some left, in his quiver. I smiled internally. Percy was very powerful, thus he could start training now itself. Hera had given him a big crown, decorated with sapphires and emeralds and represented the three domains we ruled over; the sky, sea and the underworld. She said it would reflect his moods, when he was angry, the sky would be cloudy, the sea would be agitated, and overall the weather would be gloomy, and dark (did not know what to write about Hades, sorry). When he was happy, the sea would be calm, the sky, calm, and everything around him seem bright. Poseidon had given him a pen, but when Percy uncapped it, it grew into a sword, it was very small and you could see ancient Greek markings etched on it. They said Anuklusmos, which Percy automatically translated into Riptide. I had given him a mini lightning bolt, while Hades had given him a mini helm of darkness. Percy couldn't have been more excited by these gifts, but he managed to control his excitement, and thanked the gods politely. But he was obviously very tired, and fell asleep soon afterwards. Hera carried him to his bed.
