Chapter 2: Happy Birthday!
IF YOU POSTED REVIEW READ THIS!
Kane:Why would this Percy have command over stone? Wouldn't it make more sense if he had the power to turn people into stone and change them back?
Me: I couldn't decide between that or the power I gave him, that may be one of his powers when he gets his domains, he hasn't done it yet in this story, but he can turn people to stone, not back. Plus, I think it's cooler to be able to turn to stone rather than turn other people to stone and back.
Matt:Isn't Medusa supposed to be evil? Also the Mist DIDN'T stop her from turning people to stone.
Me: This is fanfic, she doesn't have to be evil, and the mist won't always work on her. You'll see;)
3rd person (100 years later)
Two men were fighting in the arena. One had two swords and was duel wielding them, the other was using his hands. His stone hands? Yes the boy had stone hands but they seemed to be shifting shape. Sometimes it would turn into a shield and block a blow from his opponent and other times it would turn into a sword and try to strike his opponent. After just a little bit the boy with stone hands swiped the other boys legs out from under him and changed both of his hands into swords, putting one behind his neck and one in front of it. "Do you yield?" The other boy nodded as best he could with two swords up against his throat signaling his defeat, again. "I think I lasted longer than last time, right Perseus." Perseus, the man with the stone hands, turned his hands back to normal before nodding with a smile. "To bad I still beat you,
Triton." Triton playfully shoved his brother in the side. "Come on Rock head, I could beat you anytime if you didn't use those stone fists." Perseus smirked before getting into a fighting stance. "Come on them, lets go Mr. I can beat you anytime." Triton got into a fighting stance to, but before either one could throw a punch someone from the top layer of the arena cleared their throat. Both boys looked up to see their Mom up there with their dads arm wrapped around her. "Well boys, do you know what day today is?" Triton knew his mom was talking about Perseus birthday, but he decided to have some fun. "Ummmm... It's Sunday right?" Everyone laughed because they knew he was joking. "Come on brother, surely you remember your brothers 101 birthday?" Triton was only a year younger than Perseus, but Perseus acted like the younger one of the two. Triton always had an air of authority, while Perseus always acted relaxed and laid back. He was hardly ever serious while Triton hardly ever smiled. They balanced each other out perfectly. Triton could get Perseus to act more serious, and Perseus can get Triton to act more relaxed. When not together the only time Perseus acted serious was during battle, and the only time Triton didn't act serious was the party after the battle. "Of course I remember. How could I forget, with you always talking about it?" Perseus playfully shoved his shoulder before getting the biggest smile ever. "Your just jealous Im getting my domains today and your not." Perseus said while sticking his tongue out. Poseidon flashed down before flashing both of them away. When they got there all the mermen from Atlantis were there, they all looked excited about seeing their prince get his domains. Perseus was known by everyone and knew everyone, so he was being swarmed by everyone, especially the girls. Now you would think a man with over 20 girls swarming him would be happy. He wasn't. He didn't want what they were offering, he wanted to find a girl and stay faithful, not bed every women in Atlantis, which he could do if he wanted. Even though he was allowed to have multiple wives he only wanted one. He knew there was something different about his domains. He had been there when Artemis and Apollo got there domains. Well, he was watching it at his fathers palace. Nobody outside of Atlantis knew of him. There was something different about his domains. The atmosphere and mood to him seemed much different from when the twin archers got there domains. Before he could focus more on what was wrong his father stood to start the ritual for his domains. "Today we celebrate the earning of domains. For my first son PERSEUS!" As soon as he said this the whole group of people gathered cheered for their prince. Perseus made his way up to the front before kneeling in front of his father. "Son, You must know your domains are random, you could get anything and it could change you and your appearance. You will be consumed in power lust if you can not fight the overwhelming power. Do you still wish to proceed?" Perseus nodded his head rapidly, excited to finally get his domains after about 100 years of waiting. "Fates, please grace us with your presence and give my son his domains." Silence, no flash, no thunder, no nothing. After a couple seconds Poseidon's smile started to fade and after about ten seconds it was gone. "Fates, where are you?" Then there was a flash. Now Perseus knew for a fact something was wrong. Standing where the fates should be stood an angry Zeus. "NOT ONLY DID YOU HAVE AN IMMORTAL WITH THIS... THIS... MONSTER, NOW YOU TRY TO MAKE HIM A GODLING WITHOUT MY CONSENT!" Everyone there was bowing to Zeus. Which seemed to help his mood, until he saw one lone figure standing. Perseus was standing there shaking in rage. No not because Zeus ruined his moment. He was blinded by rage because of the way his dad insulted his mom, and yelled at his dad. "You should leave now Zeus, I may stay allies with if you do." Perseus voice was deadly quite but carried all the way across the room so that all the thousands of occupants could here it. Zeus looked weary for a second and most could have sworn he had fear in his eyes, but it quickly turned into rage greater than when he got there, still not greater than Perseus though. "DO NOT TALK TO ME LIKE THAT IMMORTAL, I. AM. YOUR. KING!" Perseus just smirked before turning one arm into a stone shield and the other into a stone sword, then he turned his whole body to stone. "I was hoping you would say that, I have t been challenged in a fight since the kraken, maybe you'll be more of a challenge than him." Zeus flashed into his armor and summoned his symbol of power before giving a war cry and charging Perseus. Zeus shot a huge bolt of electricity at Perseus but Zeus must have forgot they were in water. Zeus was only allowed to enter his brothers domain in certain situations and this was the first time he had been down there so he had no clue what to do. Perseus used that to his advantage so when Zeus tried to shoot his master bolt Perseus manipulated the water to shoot it back at him and wrap around him.
If you have never seen the God of lightning get electrocuted you should, it's pretty funny. Zeus gave Perseus a glare before flashing out. Not before muttering something under his breath that only one person heard. "I king of the gods curse you to never gain domains without my consent, or by vote in the council." Poseidon, the only one who heard it, paled considerably and flashed out with Perseus, trying to get to as many Olympians he could before Zeus turned all of them against Perseus.
