Rated : T
Summary: "By all means Percy was enjoying taking his younger brother on a tour of Olympus. But when a certain daughter of Erebus was strolling by"... things are bound to get messy. It's a lesson in humility for a lady of stone and a unfortunate punishment for a young god. God!PercyxEris. Rated T for some violence and very minor swearing. Story will include Trojan War, weekly chapters!
Percy knew he was doomed from the very beginning. Rather, he should have known. While taking his idiot brother on a walk of the biggest city in the universe should have been a sign, he didn't know what he was doing when he was talking to Er… No, he couldn't say her name! She would probably find him and behead him just for saying her name.
Never mind her. She would be talked about later. First…HIS IDIOT BROTHER!Man, he hated that guy now. Of course, he would probably forgive him later (probably tomorrow.) Hey! Children of Poseidon had cute eyes okay? Not his fault.
Anyway, don't run away yet! It all started like this…
"Who's that?" a teen of 13 to 15 said pointing at a huge statue of some bearded guy holding a lightning bolt.
"Zeus." A man of 25 or less teased, smiling. "Seriously, do you know nothing? Next time, we're going to the library, not Olympus." an older man teased, smiling.
"Hey, you know it's my first time at Olympus. Not my fault." the younger boy retorted.
"Still…" Percy said, stretching the words.
These were teasing amusing words, but these two were one of the most powerful second-generation gods. They were the children of the Earth breaker. They were the children of Poseidon: Triton and Perseus. And perhaps the most childish people in the world.
And so, began an hour of torture.
"Who's that?"
"Aphrodite. Don't look at that statue, dad will get angry."
"Why?"
Percy sighed but stayed silent.
"Who's that?"
"Hermes. Good friend."
"Who's that?"
"That's our dad! Seriously, are you dumb or something?
"I know everything in the world! I am the all-powerful Triton!"
Percy sighed with exhaustion. Triton had been asking stuff like this for 1 freaking hour.
"You already asked that one! Seriously man, what's going on inside that thing you call a head?"
"Hey!" Triton said, acting like he was insulted though he was quite used to this.
Percy explained everything to the young lad. The gods, their powers and their weapons of power. Percy highly suspected Triton already knew more than a half of what he was saying, but he played along. He had nothing better to do.
"Who's that?"
By this point, Percy was bored beyond belief. He wasn't listening to Triton anymore. He was thinking of a nice time he could be having at the seas staring at the beautiful white and radiant moon that was Artemis. He had a tiny weeny- little tiny-weeny, little atom sized crush on her. What? Who didn't?
So, he made a fatal mistake; He didn't pay attention. That cost him hours of regret (and much much later) hours of happiness. Let's focus on why that regret took place for now.
Eris was having a bad day already. Iris had been boasting all day long about her new instant messaging system that she was going to call, wait for it…Instant Messages! Genius, right?
Along with that, she had lost her child to a stupid minotaur a year ago. Today was the anniversary of her daughter's death so she was in a foul mood. (AN:I might write one- shot about this later.)
So, if anyone called her Eros on a normal day, she probably would have done something minor, like chop of their hand or something. But today was a horrible day. And the rage in her was waiting to burst.
"Who's that?" Triton asked, pointing at a lady wearing black robes. Something that looked like skulls was embedded on a tiara she was wearing, and she looked terrifying.
"Eros, god of love," Percy replied absentmindedly. In his brain, it was easy to switch the I in Eris with an O.
(Eris, who was the lady dressed in black, didn't regard it, thinking that Eros was somewhere near, and some child had asked his parent, or something, who he was.)
"That doesn't look like a goddess of love. You sure that's her?" Triton said pointing at the goddess dressed in black, feeling it was weird Percy was calling a goddess a god.
(Eris noticed the child pointing at her and speaking loudly.)
Percy probably should have also mentioned that gods had a hearing range of 100 yards.
Percy was about to scold Triton about pointing when he finally noticed the goddess his brother was pointing at, who he now realized was not a goddess of love, and who was currently staring at him with the coldest expression he'd ever seen. It made shivers run up and down his back.
So, yeah, he should have known he was doomed from the start.
"What did you just call me, boy." Eris said venomously.
"Uhh… it wasn't me, it was my brother!", Triton said, who was almost peeing his pants at this point.
Percy wanted to punch the living daylight out of his brother at this point, but he kept quiet, for he was also a tiny bit (A LOT) terrified.
All the gods feared and hated Eris. She caused nothing but strife and discontent and was universally seen as a symbol of bad luck. Nobody wanted anything to do with her. He, personally, never saw why, but had never really talked to her or anything.
"Well then, O great Perseus what do you have to say for yourself? Eris said. Without waiting for a reply, she said, "I had no plans to send another god to Tartarus this century, but luckily plans change. Farewell." she said.
She reached for her sword, and in a stroke of insanity, Percy did the dumbest thing of his life. And she was about to draw her sword but
"I'llbeyourslaveforayear"he quickly mumbled.
"What?" both Triton and Eris exclaimed at the same time.
"That's crazy! Who'll be your replacement as general in Dad's army and who will…" he stopped when he realized that both Eris and Percy were staring at him. They didn't want to listen to the kid. He also realized that spending a year as a slave was way, way better than spending, potentially, a decade crawling out of Tartarus. Triton's cheeks were bright red with embarrassment now.
"You propose an interesting offer, son of Poseidon," Eris said with an amused expression. "It would be…fun to have a servant like that," she said, saying fun like it was a totally alien word.
"Follow me," she briskly said, and turned on her heel and walked away.
Percy quickly scrambled after her, but not before glaring at his brother with his wolf stare making Triton gulp.
So yeah, he should have known he was doomed from the start.
