Chapter 2: The Deal with Europe

Percy POV

Percy was currently learning that Europe was going be screwed up real soon.

As soon as Percy had finally conceded and decided to help, the goddesses immediately teleported him to Hecate's Palace. Even though Percy had seen many amazing things in his lifetime and has defeated gods, he was still amazed by these quirks.

There were random floating brooms cleaning the floor around him while there were cauldrons on a counter stirring themselves with ingredients floating over and putting themselves into the cauldrons.

It was amazing as Percy looked around trying to take in everything while the goddesses stared at him with amusement.

"Ok Perseus, we need you to stop trying to break your neck from looking around and sit down, we need to explain the situation to you." Nemesis said.

Percy sat down and Nike started explaining,

"Okay so the deal is that long ago, during the ancient times, Hecate needed more worshippers so she had gathered a group of mortals and blessed them with the gift of magic. They have grown since then and are a society with concealment spells and the mist from normal mortals. But every once in a while we have a dark lord that rises.

This one is especially evil, his name is Voldemort or You-Know-Who, he is fea-"

Percy had interrupted them by laughing before saying,

"What kind of a name is Voldemort or even You-Know-Who? I mean Nobody by Odysseus was funny enough but this is even more hilarious"

"Perseus please let us continue, but just so you know it was an anagram from his birth name Tom Marvolo Riddle" said Nemesis even though she also had a smile on her face.

"Anyways, normally this wouldn't be problem as dark lords occur all the time, but recently the society has become bigoted towards those who don't have any magical parents" said Nike

"Wait, how do they get their magic then?" asked Percy

"Well the way they get their magic is because one of their ancestors had magic but their sons or daughters didn't have it and it reappeared in these mortals. But those with magical parents are called purebloods are becoming bigoted even though they don't realize the only way to get magic is if your ancestors have it" stated Hestia

"It's sad, but the main problem is this Voldemort is appealing to them by claiming a vendetta against those who aren't purebloods and don't have magical parents which are called muggleborns." Said Nemesis

"What kind of a name is Muggleborns?" Percy asked, trying not to lose his composure with laughter.

"The magicals call those without magic, muggles, and those that have magical parents but no magic, squibs." Nike answered

"Now no more interruptions" Hecate said before continuing,

"Voldemort appealed to them by claiming he would eradicate muggleborns which caused the purebloods to start helping him, and since the purebloods essentially rule the society, no one can really stop him. Now luckily, about 13-14 years ago, a boy was born who was prophesized to be able to kill him. When Voldemort found out, he immediately started hunting for said boy and tried to kill him, unfortunately for him, Voldemort had dabbled in the Dark Arts too much and created Horcruxes.

Horcruxes were objects that one would be able to create by killing someone, and then split their own soul and place in an object and as long as the object survived then that person would survive, essentially making them immortal.

Now Voldemort had created six and was going to make a seventh one by killing the boy but when he tried to kill the baby, his spell which was an instant killing curse rebounded due to his soul being too unstable.

Now the boy has grown up, and we need your help to train him for the battle between himself and Voldemort, There is a competition coming up and there will be foreign schools coming from around the world, and we need you to enforce relations just in case, should the war drag on, the other countries would come in and help" Hecate finished.

"So I just have to tutor some kid?" Percy asked incredulously

"Yes, we want you to teach him spells, close combat, and teach him especially about leadership so all of the magical world can rally behind him." Hestia stated.

"But I don't have any magic" Percy claimed.

"After you agree, we will all be blessing you and teaching you our specific talents" Nike said.

"Okay, I'll do it, so when do we start?" asked Percy.

"We'll bless you now and we are going to start tomorrow, have a good night sleep and be prepared, these next few months will be rough." Hecate said before smirking.

They then all got in a circle around him and each blessed him, causing Percy to feel enormous amounts of power and felt indestructible. He couldn't wait to use these powers.

They all then teleported away. Leaving Percy to wonder how much he would hate the upcoming months.

1 Month Later

Percy really felt like killing Nike but didn't know if that would be justice for all she did to him. Nike was the first of the goddesses to teach him, she would teach him how to harness the powers of victory.

These powers would essentially let one cheat and become better at whatever skill they needed to win. When Percy first got powers he felt indestructible, and when he heard of what Nike's powers could do, he felt even more powerful.

The first time Nike and Percy fought, he lost. In the first 10 seconds he was tripped, fell down, and hit himself with his own sword. It was humiliating to say the least.

Slowly, Nike was able to teach Percy how to counter herself and use his powers to counter her and use the powers to tip the battle to his advantage.

He remembered his last duel against her where she went all out,

Flashback

Percy and Nike were standing opposite each other across the arena. Each were waiting to see who would make the first move, when all of a sudden Nike disappeared. Percy realized immediately she wasn't there and knew she was using her godly speed that she was known for.

He tapped into his powers and the second he did it she appeared to the right of him almost falling as if she tripped over a rock. She immediately righted herself and charged him.

He blocked her jab and parried her next strike, he then swung with a wide arc and she dodged immediately using her powers to speed up and jab at him before he could block.

But Percy with his sixth sense immediately countered her and used his own victory powers to dodge and jump to the side and the second she jabbed forward he grabbed her hand and disarmed her.

She immediately retaliated by elbowing him and stunned him by jabbing at the solar plexus. As Percy stumbled back, he used his victory powers to recover immediately and come back with a vengeance.

He charged her and as she began to block, he tackled her instead and when she hit the ground, he punched her and ended up knocking her out.

End Flashback

That was a great day, but Percy still felt he should've done more damage to retaliate for all the humiliation she made him endure in the earlier battles.

Now it was Percy's turn to learn with Nemesis, and Percy was not looking forward to it. She would work with him on how to deal with revenge especially since his fatal flaw was loyalty and would stop him from being consumed with revenge should someone betray him. Percy felt like it wasn't going to be fun at all.

Her other domain was balance and Percy just wondered how that would end up. He knew Nemesis liked him the least compared to the other three and wondered if she would be harder on him due to it.

Half A Month Later

Percy felt scarred and very happy to be done training with Nemesis. She was ruthless in training him. She had trained him about revenge by making him live through many betrayals. It was torture for him to endure everyone he ever cared about betray him and not go crazy trying to get revenge.

Even then after that, once she deemed him okay enough to deal with betrayals, she made him endure the betrayals again but this time figure out rational ways on how to deem revenge. This was even more torture as he still didn't want to hurt them but he still did it. She had even shown him that he could use his revenge powers to get even with anyone that wrongs him

Once he was thankful to be done with that, she took him over to the side of her balance domain. She had confessed to him, that while she couldn't as she was bound by ancient laws, he could use his balance powers to tip the balance.

Percy was shocked by this, but nonetheless used his powers against her in battles to tip the battle in his, since she was bound by ancient laws and couldn't use those powers herself, she deemed him good enough and finished their training together.

Now Percy was happily walking towards Hestia's Palace, he knew Hestia was always a kind person and would be a better teacher than Nike and Nemesis no matter what she taught.

Half A Month Later

Percy was feeling pretty content right now, after learning from Hestia, one special thing he learned was that he had the ability to move himself into a calm and happy state.

Percy had learned one of his by far favorite powers of controlling fire. Normally, he had an aversion to fire, even if he used to have partial immunity to it. Now he had full control over fire and full immunity to it. Percy learned as soon as he could control fire, it was pretty fun and loved messing around with it.

Another fun thing that he learned could be debated as his best power, the power to empower allies with the feeling of home. He essentially could power all his allies before the battle and barely even affect his power levels.

Now Percy was heading toward Hecate, the last person to learn from before heading to Britain. She was also going to take the longest to learn from due to the fact he had to learn what people took 7 years to learn and still learn dueling efficiently in essentially 4 months.

4 Months Later

It was not actually 4 months as it turned out. It turned out to be almost year, Hecate had shown him a thing called a turn timer which essentially let him repeat the same day. This caused him to end up training for 8 months while in reality it was only 4 months.

But Percy felt like he had learned a lot, With Hecate's blessing he took to magic like a moth to a flame. He found that her blessing caused him to have a natural instinct for magic and was actually able to think of a spell in a minute. The problem though was that he only knew them by instinct. He still spent hours while not dueling, studying the spells.

Even his wand was unique, it was the only wand to be made with the hair of a Pegasus, He had asked Blackjack for one, made of oak which stood for strength, and was 12 inches long.

Dueling was a different experience for him. He was normally bad with ranged weapons, but with a wand he seemed to be a natural. He was able to flick away spells away at the right time with perfect ease. With the addition of Hecate's blessing he was considered a gifted dueler that could probably even make a living off of dueling.

He could still remember his first duel where even he was shocked by his own outcome,

Flashback

Percy stood at one end of the dueling platform with Hecate at the other. Hecate had decided to see if he could do anything without any knowledge which Percy felt was pretty stupid, he just clutched his wand and waited for her to finish the countdown.

The second she said go, Percy was shocked when she rapidly said a ton of random words in Latin, and Percy slowly caught on and said "Vulnus!" which meant hurt in Latin but nothing happened and Percy resorted to jumping out of the way of the spells.

Percy was then shocked when his body went into autopilot mode and yelled "Vulnus" (Hurt) with a random move of his hand and this time the spell worked!

Percy was so shocked that he didn't notice that Hecate had dove out the way and retaliated with a stunner which knocked him out.

When he awoke, Hecate stated

"At least you used my blessing efficiently even if you didn't know you were using it."

Flashback End

After that, Hecate had taught him the full history of the wizarding world. It was interesting to see some stuff he read out of the books when he was a kid to be real, but it still bored him at some points like the constant dark lords with horrible names and the obvious bigotry becoming more and more apparent.

Now Percy was heading to Britain and was going to spend the summer coordinating with Albus Dumbledore, Hecate's son, and was going to work on befriending Harry so he could start training him.

And with that thought, Percy walked into Privet Drive #8.
