THIS DOES NOT BELONG TO ME. L IT ALL BELONGS TO RICK RIORDAN.
~PRINCE OF OLYMPUS~
Artemis, Hera, Aphrodite, Athena and Zeus were the only ones on the thrown room, but they were not bored. Of course not. They had not been bored since four months ago, when Percy Jackson arrived in their lives.
Percy was strangulating a snake with his, small, meaty hands, giggling all the while. Percy had been bored, and Artemis had decided to test his talents.
Aphrodite laugh. "Obviously he got his talents from me."
"No, he didn't, Aphrodite," Artemis said, rolling her eyes. She smiled down at the baby boy. Even she had grown close to the boy, which caused Apollo to laugh off his pants once he and Hermes realized it.
"He got them from his aunt," Hera said, tickling the baby. The goddesses laugh with him.
"Well, he's the best at hunting, so he got that from me," Artemis said, more smugly than she should.
Zeus roll his eyes, grinning at Percy. "Well, he can fly, so he got that from me."
"He was not sire from neither of you," Poseidon said as he knelt down- he had just flashed in. "He gets his powers from me."
"But he loves me more," Aphrodite said, smiling widely "I know so."
Poseidon rolled his eyes, but didn't say anything. He knew how much they all loved Percy- and it had barely been four months. Every god - like, literally, every god, and goddesses, minor, or not, loved him. They all argued about who got to spend how much time with him.
Percy grinned at Poseidon, then, he jump back when he felt an electric current running through him. Percy laugh, making the goddesses laugh too, closely followed by Zeus.
"He got you good," Apollo said, laughing as he walked in.
Artemis laughed. "You should have seen when he splashed Zeus an hour ago."
"And when he bit Hera because he wanted food," Zeus said, smiling fondly down at the boy.
"And when he washed away Aphrodite's make up," Hera said, handing Percy a toy.
"Good kid," Apollo said as he knelt down too, reaching out for Percy. "Has Sky shown up?" He asked.
Hera shook her head.
"No," she said, tightening her arms around Percy. She and Artemis were the ones that loved Percy the most because they did not have children of their own, and they consider him as theirs.
And they didn't like it when someone messed with something that's theirs.
"We should start training him," Hades said, who had just shown up. He had been allowed to show up at Olympus because he, too, loved the baby boy. Hades smiled down at the boy.
"He's four months old!" Aphrodite protested, playing with the Percy's hand while glaring at Hades.
Percy, who was playing no attention to the conversation, and was seating on Hera's lap, who was seating down on a blanket on the floor, seem fascinated with Aphrodite's hair, which was why he pulled on grinned when she saw that.
Apollo laughed. "I swear, little sis', this is the only boy you have liked since you were born."
"Shut up, Apollo. And I am not your little sister. We were born at the same time!" She said. Apollo always annoyed her about Percy because as he promise, he was not going to ever let go that the maiden goddesses Artemis liked a boy.
"But he is right, though," Zeus said, ignoring Artemis, and Apollo. "We should start to train the little monster soon." He didn't say the words in a wrong way.
Hera frown at him. "We will not!" She said. "We will start training him when he's old enough. I say that's when he's walking and talking."
Zeus frown at her, but said nothing. He knew how much Hera loved the boy in her arms, and would probably cut Zeus up in pieces and send him to visit their dear father if he insisted. And he would probably let her, then again, she would apparently have the help of every goddesses.
"Fine," Hades said, probably thinking the same thing as Zeus.
"Then it's decided," Hera said, and stuck out her tongue at Hades, making him roll his eyes.
…..
How the gods lost Percy, no one may ever know.
Apollo and Hermes had been playing hid and seek with the eight month old Percy. But somehow, they couldn't find him.
"Hera is going to kill us!" Apollo hissed, panicking.
Hermes grimaced in agreement. "Artemis is going to feed us to her wolfs."
Both gods shudder. They had felt the wrath of Artemis too many times. They knew they would die if Artemis found out they lost her baby brother. The only boy Artemis ever loved.
"What are you doing?"
They both jumped, turning around, they saw Hestia and Demeter. Their two hours were up, it was Hestia and Demeter's turn to spend with baby Percy.
"Nothing," Apollo said, grinning widely, trying to hide the fact that he was panicking inside.
Hestia raised an eyebrow. "Where's Percy?"
Demeter looked from face to face. "It's our turn."
Hermes glanced at his brother. "He's in the bathroom."
"Liar." Demeter glance around. "Did you lost him?"
Apollo swallowed. He and his brother knew the wrath of goddesses, and it was never pretty. He could come up with many ways of how the goddesses would torture them when they figure out they lost Percy.
"No," Hermes said.
Hestia snorted. "Then where is he?"
"We already told you," he said.
"Tell the truth," Demeter insisted, her hazel eyes narrowing at him.
The gods glance at each other, then bow their head, finally giving in. "Yes," they said.
"You idiots!" Demeter shouted at him, her face turning purple, like a purple muffin. "How did you lost him!"
"We were playing hide and seek-" Apollo started, then pause, glancing at Hermes.
"And. . . .he's winning." Hermes finished.
Hestia frown at them. "We better find him," she said. "Before everyone else blasts you both off for losing him."
"We've tried everything!" Apollo said. "We've search everywhere and the little demon can't be found."
There was a giggle behind them. They all turn, only to find Percy seating on Hera's thrown.
Hera would normally blast anyone who tried to sat on her thrown, but that was Percy. He often fall asleep on any thrown, and everyone was okay with that. Zeus, Poseidon and Hades had agreed to make Percy his own thrown, one that was in between the three brothers'. The entire consul had agree, not because if it bother then when Percy lay on their thrown, but they thought he deserved one.
"Percy," Hestia said, smiling warmly at the boy. "You won against you cousins."
The little boy laughed, nodding. "I won," he said.
Demeter grinned. "Come down here, and give your aunts a hug."
Hestia walked toward the little boy, holding out her arms. He stood, and jump in her arms, laughing as he went.
"You little monster," Hermes said, shaking his head fondly at Percy. "You come out for your aunts but not your cousins?" He grinned. "Nice."
Demeter shrugged, smiling down at the boy. "He likes us more."
"No he doesn't," Apollo protested. "He likes me more because I am awesome."
"No he doesn't," she said. "Now go away. You have duties to do."
The gods sigh, knowing she was right. With one last hug and smile at Percy, the gods left.
"I can't believe they lost him," Hestia said softly, wiggling a fish for Percy.
Demeter rolled her eyes. "They're idiot, sister," she said. "I am not surprise. Though, let us pray that Hera or Artemis find out they lost him."
Both goddesses shudder, knowing Hera would skin Apollo and Hermes if she every found out they lost Percy.
…..
Percy was seating in Hera's lap, his thrown half done. He was sleeping, bored. He knew it was summer solties once again, even if he was one year old.
No one was shouting now. They spoke quietly, not wanting to wake up the sleeping little boy.
"How has he been?" Poseidon asked, quietly.
Athena rolled her eyes. "You checked up on his yesterday, kelp head."
He raised an eyebrow. He knew why she was in a bad mood. Everyone was in a bad mood because Percy was growing up, and they would have to teach him combat, which was something no one wanted to do.
Athena sigh. "My apologize."
He nodded. "Don't worry about it. I know the feeling."
"Why don't we wait a little longer?" Aphrodite asked, eager to put to wait Percy's training.
The gods were about to answer, but there was a golden flash, and they sigh, already knowing who it was.
Sky stood there, dressed in battle, unlike the last time they saw her. Her golden armor shone, like her eyes. "What? Not happy to see me?"
Hera tighten her hold on Percy, hopping she was wrong on what thoughts crossed her mind.
"It's not that," Zeus said. "It's just that we were thinking about-"
"I know what you were thinking," Sky said. "But it cannot be done."
"We cannot battle train a one year old, Sky," Hera insisted. "He's too young."
Sky snorted. "He will begin battle training once he's two. Right now, all of you must teach him of you abilities. Apollo and Artemis will teach him how to hunt and hold an arrow, how to use the sun and the moon to his advantage. Ares will teach him how to fight. Zeus will teach him how to use lighting, and flying. Poseidon, teach him how to use the sea. Hades, teach him how to treat the dead. Everyone else, I assume you know what you have to teach him?"
Aphrodite nodded. "I must teach him how to Charmspeak."
"I, how to lie and steal without being caught," Hermes said.
"Farming will make him stronger," Demeter said.
"He has to be fire resistant," Hephaestus grumble.
"He has to drive people to madness," Dionysus said.
"He must be the wises in Earth," Athena said, thinking of the other ability she would give him.
"He will need to know everything," Sky said.
Hera, not looking at all happy, sigh. She didn't want Percy to get hurt, or have to fight, or do anything that meant danger. She knew what she had to teach him.
"You shall begin tomorrow," Sky continued. "Who wishes to go first?"
Poseidon sigh. "I shall."
Sky grinned. "Excellent." And with that she vanished.
Poseidon rolled his eyes. "She's so dramatic. I do not know where she got it from. It's Zeus that's dramatic."
"Shut up, I am not dramatic," Zeus defended.
Hera cut in before they could get in an argument about it. "Shush," she said. "You'll wake Percy up."
Both gods immediately shut up.
Athena smirked. "We finally learn a away from them to stop arguing," she said, smugly.
Poseidon glared at her. "Look, Owl Face-"
"Anyway," Artemis cut in. "When do you start with his training, Uncle?"
"Tomorrow," Poseidon said. "Let him rest for now."
