Author's Q&A Acknowledgements: What's up guys? And girls? A few people have left some questions in the reviews, and have sent me a few PM's, so I'll answer them all right here and now, coming to you live from the back of my sociology class here at UNCG lol.

Q: (Kind of) Did all the other Gods at the meeting give blood to Hera to make Perseus? & Why wasn't Artemis or Hestia the ones to supply the blood, or be the surrogate?

A: No. But Perseus will be the Champion of both Hestia and Hades. In my version of this story, that also means he will have full access to the powers he gains from them both. And he has the eternal blessings of Aphrodite and Demeter, so he will have powers from each of them as well. & In this version, both Artemis and Apollo will be born relatively close to when Perseus was born. Al I've got it worked out. As for Hestia being the blood donor or surrogate, Hera is chosen as Perseus's mother for reasons that will create further Plot line situations in the long run. Also, Hestia will play that 'Favorite Aunt or Uncle role," in his life. She comes into play greatly further in the story.

Q: (Kind of. I'm rephrasing most of them) Will Perseus remain a God?

A: Absolutely! This entire story, and all the ones that come after it, Perseus will remain a God. I don't plan on following the PJO story line really. These will be completely different adventures, one's God's take a much bigger plunge into.

PMQ: Will we see any of the Demigods from the original PJO & HOO?

A: Yes, more than likely. One of Perseus domains will involve him interacting with Demigod's on a regular basis, but the story will be more center focused on his Godly adventure's. But PJO and HOO characters will make their way into this story frequently.

PMQ: Love the Hera and Perseus concept already. What led you to make that his Parentage include her as his mother?

A: That's a pretty in-depth question. I like it! It primarily starts with the way I grew up I guess. I was raised by just my father for the first 15 years of my life. He implanted in my head and every action I do, to have the highest respect for women possible. Always open doors, and not only offer, but insist on giving a woman of any age your seat. Never have the mentality that a man is better at anything than a woman is. To see women as equals at all times. That said, threw out the PJO books, Hera is already established as a complete jerk. That she only likes "Acceptable," demigods, if even those. Rick had me disliking her in the 4th book almost immediately. But I think it was in the final HOO book, "Blood of Olympus," that I changed my mind completely. SPOILER ALERT: When the God's come flying out of the sky, and help the Demigod's kill the giants. Hera tries to speak, and Zeus tells her to be silent the second she tries. She says "Husband," and once again he just tells her to be quiet. I don't approve of that. Bump he fact that one of her Domains is Marriage, but her husband is constantly taking on multiple lovers. I've been cheated on by a girl, and it was some of the worst pain I've ever felt as a human being, not just as a man. I wouldn't wish that on my greatest enemy. I like Zeus as a leader, but I hate him as a Husband period. Hera deserves better, hence why I emotionally divorced them. I couldn't contradict her domain, so I had to leave them officially married. So, after I read that chapter, I was immediately on team Hera. I wanted to give her something to love that would never hurt her the way Zeus does. Perseus will be a child she grooms and raises HER way. With HER values installed in his mind. I don't approve of Poseidon or any of the other God's cheating either, but Hera is just constantly pushed to the side, ignored, and irrelevant. So yeah, #TeamHera.

PMQ: How often can we expect updates?

A: Lol, frequently. I've always loved writing, and when I read books that I believe have the wrong pairings, I just have to correct it in my mind. I write at least a chapter a day. What I have up are the shortest these chapter's will ever be. We're just starting out here. Simple answer, expect at least 1-2 in a 2 day or less period.

PMQ: When can we expect the Perseus and Artemis pairing?

A: Lol, not for a while. In the books, Percy and Annabeth don't get together till the 5th book. Artemis and Perseus will have moments in this story kind of, but nothing that would qualify as romantic until a next few stories.

PMQ: What Power's has Perseus inherited from Hera?

A: I would love to answer that, but it comes into play sooner than later.

That's all of the questions I was asked. If there are any more questions or comments you guys have, write it in the reviews, or shoot me a PM. I answer them all. Now let's get to business. No one here believes I own any of the Character's in this story, so there really is no need to say it again, just read the description.

Chapter 3

Boy, was Perseus going to be in for it when Hera got a hold of him. Where is he?! Why must he be late for one of the most important moments of his life? One of the most important moments in her life too! Not to mention his father, Hades, Hestia, Demeter, Artemis, even Zeus. Was he out of his mind?

Hera paced in her palace, wondering where in all Hades could he be. Poseidon had been out looking for him in the ocean for 3 mortal hours now, and Time moved much quicker when you're a God. Hera tried multiple times to contact him through her mind, but even though she could feel that he was alive, her messages just were not getting through to him at all. There were only a few explanations, but even Perseus knew better than that.

Poseidon flashed into her palace, (only because he had permission earlier that he could enter that way after his search. If he tried that at any other time, he would be sorry,) and told her, "Nothing. He's not in any body of water at all. Not the ocean, a river, I can't sense him anywhere."

Hera growled to herself, and said, "Poseidon, your son is going to miss the most important day of his life, you have no idea where he is? The entire ocean, and you can't find our son? I let him stay for a reason Brother." She said "Brother," with a dangerous tone that Poseidon did not like.

"You asked me if Perseus could spend yesterday with you, Triton, and Amphitrite in the ocean did you not? Told me you would have him here," she said gesturing to the floor, meaning in her palace, "On time, and ready, yes? So, explain to me Poseidon, why isn't Perseus HERE?!" Hera said losing all verbal restraints.

Meanwhile….

Perseus, Triton, and Apollo were all breathing heavily. Perseus and Triton more than Apollo. At the moment, they were in the depths of the underworld, fighting off minion after minion. They stayed in constant motion, stepping out of incoming volleys of dark energy, poisonous spears, deadly conditions and such.

"Where is it!?" Apollo yelled to the pair of them, notching three arrows at once. He barely needed to aim to hit his marks, 3 minions and servants of Akhyls.

Triton, wielding his Trident, stabbed it into the ground and launched himself into a group of servants, slamming the first one in the head with an ear-splitting crunch to its skull, and swung the blunt end of the trident to knock it back. Without turning his head, and his trident already facing his back, he stabbed the servant that lunged at him from behind, and it pierced straight through its neck. Triton grabbed his Trident with both hands, leaned back, and brought it around himself in a 360 radius, cutting the throats, or damaging the eyes of the mist covered servants. He spun one last time, bringing his weapon to his side to stare at his remaining foes. They wouldn't be remaining for long.

"Base of the tower! We need to get to the bottom! There is a tunnel that leads in and out, and one that will launch us back to Hades castle!" Triton said. "Perseus! Above you!" he yelled, making sure his little brother saw it.

Perseus was in the heat of battle with 2 lieutenants, and 1 general of Akhyls. The lieutenants wielded a black sword and shield each, the General wielded a spear and shield made of pure death mist.

Perseus spared a split second to glance up and notice multiple ugly harpies were diving straight for him, he had little time to lose.

"I see them! We need to get inside! Apollo, get the entrance open!" Perseus yelled in between strikes.

Perseus refocused himself in the battle he was in, as Apollo launched 6 more arrows with amazing speed, and returned to opening the entrance to the tower.

The general lunged at Perseus from his left side, however the Godling side stepped and spun out of the way. Both lieutenants fought in synch with each other, trying to bear the worthless filth down.

Perseus wielded two different swords of the same length. Anaklusmos, given to him by his father on his 16th birthday, was held tightly in his right hand, made of the best and strongest celestial bronze. Exousia, in his left, was a beautiful Adamantine sword, given to him by his mother. But it was even deadlier, then it was a looker.

Perseus deflected the Death mist spear of the general with the sword in his right hand, and immediately, ducked and spun to his left at the same time under the sword of one of the lieutenants, bringing the sword in his left hand, to the back of its knee, causing it to yell in agony. He intended to stab it threw the heart from the back, but the other lieutenant demanded the prince's attention with a strike aimed at his shoulder, while the general made to sweep out his legs from under him with his spear.

Perseus took one step, lifted his lower body with a slight jump, and flattened his upper body, making him horizontal in the air, spinning twice at an incredible speed, the spear going under him, and the sword going over. The spear however was long, and took the lieutenants legs out from under him, planting him on the ground. Taking advantage of the situation, Perseus came out of his vertical spin bringing down Exousia into the heart of that lieutenant. It exploded into black dust.

Perseus let go of that sword in order to grab the spear coming at him again from above, and shifted the generals spear into the lieutenant's heart from the back, who's leg he stabbed though, turning him into black dust as well. His hand stung from the contact and he immediately let go, his hand taking some of his attention distracting him, as he grabbed his other sword. The general seeing a slight opening kicked the prince with his right leg, and knocked him back with a back lash from his shield.

"Perseus!" Triton yelled, but remained where he was, fending off the servants that attempted to attack him from both sides.

Perseus recovered quickly, ignoring the painful sensations in his hand. He'd deal with it later, and took a stance, digging his feet into the ground, ready and alert. His left sword arm more forward than his right, in a position to attack, and his right remained closer to him, in a perfect defensive position. The general was no fool, and was experienced as well.

He was still aware of the Harpies diving fast above his head, all this took place in a matter of a few seconds, God's had incredible speed, and fought at them.

The general held his shield in front of his chest, crouching, and had his spear on top of it, aimed at the son of Hera. They ran to each other, weapons at the ready. The general made a show of trying to wear the prince down, but he was not just a boy.

The both his swords deflected all incoming attacks, such as the way the general was currently using his height on the godling to attack his head from above. Perseus brought his sword up with his wrist faced inward, deflecting the spear up, and out of the way, giving him the opportunity to turn his right sword into an attacking weapon.

His right sword now by his ear, he brought across his body with blinding speed, to knock the shield out of the general's hand. It didn't go exactly as planned, the general hand an iron grip, but it did remove the shield from being in front of his body as the general's hand and shield went away from him. Perseus used this split-second opportunity to lurch forward with the sword in his left hand. The general was slightly to slow, but managed to divert the sword from his heart, with the alternative being, the sword pierced him at the ribs, and slashed diagonally down to the right, opening his left side.

Perseus pressed his attack, blow after blow, and eventually found a grand opening. The general attempted to stab him through his stomach, but the son of Hera side stepped and spun to his left. With his spear still forward, and Perseus on his left, the prince ended the general by, elbowing the general upwards. He flipped the sword in his right hand to hold it backwards, stabbed the general through the stomach, and brought Exousia across his body, and upwards, relieving the general of his head, and kicking him away as he exploded into black dust.

Looking up, the harpies had their claws stretched out towards him, ready to grab him, or rip him to shreds. Either way, he wasn't going to let it happen.

"Entrance is open!" he heard Apollo yell from behind him.

Servants and minions were now coming in and began overflowing the area around the tower.

Perseus threw both of his swords into the air, and what came down was a trident known as Kilironomia. He snatched the trident out of the air, and yelled "Get inside!" to his older brother and Apollo.

Apollo laughed, smiled and said "Your gonna do the thing, aren't you? Show off!"

"Just get in!" Perseus yelled back slightly laughing to himself as well.

He slammed his trident's fork end into the ground, and the ground began to shake, causing an earth quake, and the ground all round him to fall and crumble off the cliff nearby. But before Perseus could fall with it, he bent his knees, and launched himself into the air, at the harpies, twisting himself out of the way of its claws, gripped one of their wings, and stood on the back of a harpy.

The prince, caused the Harpies to sharply pull out of their dive, and fly up and in circles. The harpy under him was snapping her teeth over her shoulder, trying to bite his ankles.

"Here," he said, shoving his trident into the monster's mouth, and jumping to the next one, with experienced accuracy as the beast exploded into golden dust.

The next harpy was slightly readier for him however. This harpy extended her claws at the incoming godling, and prepared to kill. Out of nowhere it seemed, an arrow the harpy didn't see because it was focused on the flying god, struck it in the head. Before it could explode, Perseus used what was left of its body to launch himself at the remaining two flying straight at him.

He launched his trident at the one on the left, at a speed to fast for her to dodge, and gold dust exploded around her, blinding the harpy next to her for a second. Perseus snatched his trident out of the air, and landed on the back of the last harpy, grabbing her wings, and forcing her to dive. She let out an ear-splitting scream at being forced to dive.

The son of Hera aimed the Harpy in the direction of the entrance that Apollo and Triton were standing at. There was a small patch of land in front of the entrance that Perseus didn't destroy. Apollo raised his bow, and shot the harpy, dead between the eyes.

Perseus jumped off and landed, rolling into the entrance following his brother and Apollo.

Triton then slashed the bottom end of his Trident across the entrance, and caused it to collapse in on itself.

The godlings all leaned against a wall, and caught their breath.

"That's another point for me, I'm in the lead for saving your fish brains," Apollo joked out loud to the brothers.

"I could have easily killed both of those Harpies myself, I just wanted to give you the opportunity to do something more useful than looking for a hole in the wall," Perseus joked back.

"Hey," Apollo said in between breathes still smiling, "If I hadn't found the entrance, we'd still be out there fighting those hairy ghouls."

Triton shook his head, laughed and said, "I don't know, I think I would have found it pretty quick. I am the brains."

"And the sushi," Apollo said that sent the godlings into a fit of laughter.

"Which way to the artifact?" Perseus asked his brother, looking around.

"This way," Triton responded catching his second wind, and ran in a direction, followed by Perseus and Apollo bringing up the rear…

Meanwhile….

Time was running out, and still no word from Perseus. Hera was on the verge of snapping again. She knew her suspicions had to be correct, if it had been going on this long, and he hadn't shown up yet.

Perseus was in the underworld…

Hera flashed herself to the entrance of Hades dark castle. She knew he would be here, he never missed an important event such as this. Making her presence know, Hades appeared out of one of the few shadows in front of his castle and made his way over to her.

"Sister, what—" but he was cut off.

"Go get Perseus! Now! I know he's in the underworld, and you can sense him. Get him this instant!"

Hades held his ground, and would have responded, if he didn't know how important this day was for her. And him. For all the gods.

Hades heaved a deep sigh, and flashed himself to his palace in the underworld.

Meanwhile…

"This is it?" Perseus said to Triton, staring at the round artifact in his hands.

"Yes, that is what we are looking for." Triton said taking it from him, and stashing it in his pack.

"Uh, guys?" Apollo said at one of the two entrances, keeping watch.

"I thought you said what we were looking for was a weapon. This looks like a ball of metal to me." Perseus said back to his brother.

"It is a weapon," Triton responded.

"Guys..." Apollo came in again.

"How in the world is that little thing a weapon? What are we gonna do, choke a mortal to death with it?" Perseus said.

"It does more than that, you seaweed for brains." Triton said securing it.

"Yeah fish tail? What could that little ball possibly do for us?"

"HEY, FISH BOYS!" Apollo yelled.

"What?!" the brothers said in the middle of their little spat, looking back at him.

"We're out of time," Apollo said simply, gesturing to the noises they heard.

The servants had found a way to climb up to the entrance, and blasted the rubble away. The boys looked at each other one more time, before making their way to the other side of the dungeon. There, was a path there, that would shoot the boy's up to Hades castle.

Perseus stopped Apollo and looked at Triton, "Get it back to the surface Triton, we'll lead them away."

"We'll what?" Apollo said to his best friend.

"Are you out of your mind? I'm not leaving here without you! Father will have a field day." Was Tritons response. "Come on, the portal is right here."

"I agree!" Apollo said.

"We can't," Perseus said back to Triton, "We will get back the physical way. If we all go through the portal, they will follow, and we will never get them off our scent. Take the Artifact to the surface, we will meet you on Olympus."

Triton knew his brother made sense, but still didn't want to leave him. This was his brother after all. His little head ache of a brother, but they loved each other.

"Don't die Percy," Triton said stepping into the pathway of the portal.

"Hey!" Perseus began to say, but Triton was already gone to hear it.

There was a vicious growl coming from the entrance into the dungeon.

"Time to go?" Apollo said to Perseus.

"I think so," he said back nervous, but laughing.

The boys turned around and sprinted up the third path, full of stairs that went up in a spiral. Apollo nocked an arrow, and shot over Perseus's shoulder at the lanterns full of fire, and they began to spread on the ground. The castle was mostly wood after all. The only direction to go was up now.

The boys ran up as fast as a god possibly good, until a huge chunk of the castle was suddenly pulled away and smashed, making Apollo and Perseus crash into the wall from the impact.

"What in all of Hades was that?" Perseus said.

"Giant!" Apollo responded looking out of a window aimed on the outer wall of the spiral staircase.

Apollo was right. A giant had come to the castle and began breaking the flaming building apart.

"Well that's not what you want to see." Perseus said.

"What?" Apollo said joking in the midst of the entire situation, "50-foot-tall blonde giants with murder in their eyes, and death on their lips don't do it for you?"

"I've already got a blonde best friend who I can barely tolerate right now," Perseus couldn't help in joining in on the irony of being 4 steps away from life and a giant who's only purpose in being alive is to kill god's.

Apollo laughed as they raced up the stairway as fast as possible, enjoying the thrill of this lovely morning. Perseus and Apollo had been best friends for as long as they could remember. Both being princes of one of the big 4, Perseus being born of 2 of them. The gods had made Hera one of the Big four two years after Perseus was born. The Olympians agreed, especially Hera, Hestia, Demeter and Athena, that at least one woman should be one of the leaders of Olympus. And seeing as how Hera was the most powerful goddess on Olympus, she was picked almost instantly. So being the son of the Queen of Olympus, the King of the seas and of one of the original big 3, made Perseus the official prince of Olympus, out of the two boys.

Perseus and Apollo were both around the same age give or take. Artemis was born before Perseus by 41 days. Hera gave birth to Perseus 12 days before Leto gave birth to Apollo. Triton was born 8 months before all of them. As children, Perseus, Apollo Artemis and Triton were all great friends, the went on multiple adventures together. However, because Triton was herald to his father in the seas, Triton was not able to be around his little brother on many occasions. His duty was to the sea, and he already had multiple friends in the ocean.

Artemis, Perseus, and Apollo were all still the best of friends, but something happened in Artemis's life that made her sort of disconnect from the boys. When she was 12, something happened that they knew had changed her forever. She couldn't look Perseus in the eyes without feel some form of guilt that she never told Apollo or Perseus the reason for. Eventually Artemis formed her band of hunter's and all of her time was spent with them from that moment on.

That just left the two boys, the Princes of Olympus, and best friends. The princess of Olympus was still involved, just not as much as before.

Apollo wasn't married, and had a number of Demigod children. Perseus hadn't so much as kissed another woman since his birth, other than his mother, and that was only because he could never escape them. Eventually, Perseus just learned to except them by a certain point.

"We're almost at the top!" Apollo now had to yell, the giant outside was reeking absolute havoc on the castle, and it would not stand for much longer.

Perseus behind him yelled, "I've called for some back up! She will be here soon!"

"And if she doesn't, we can always die by those things outside!"

"I'll pass sunshine!"

"Whatever you say Fish breath!"

They sprinted up until they reached the top of the castle, which had multiple places open to the outside areas. If that giant knocked away enough of the castle, they were in for it, and they didn't have long with the fire rising. Perseus noticed the building was extremely warm.

"Remind me again, why you shot that fire?" Perseus said hoping and praying she got here in time.

"I'm honestly not sure anymo—" Apollo was cut off by the castle lurching forward, sending the boys into a sprawl all over the floor. Eventually the building was hanging sideways off of the ledge. Perseus and Apollo were hanging on two different pieces of wood, across from each other.

"You just had to show off and shoot that fire, didn't you?" Perseus said to Apollo, still joking, but a lot more nervous.

"Yeah," he responded trying to keep from smiling, "I'm the show off. I'm the one who fought 2 lieutenants, and a general, shook off a cliff, and went Harpy jumping. I'm definitely the show off."

"Can't you fly?" Apollo asked Perseus, knowing the answer anyway.

"Can't you shut up?" They broke out in laughter.

Perseus eventually had to let go with his left hand, the consciousness of the stinging returning.

Come on. Come on. Where are you? Perseus thought to himself.

"We're gonna have to let go any second now. That fire is right next to us," Apollo stated looking to his left.

Perseus saw it to, looked back at his best friend and said, "Count of three?"

"Why wait?" Apollo said while grinning.

Perseus shrugged, feeling she was close and said, "Catch up if you can!" And let go.

Perseus was falling a few seconds ahead of Apollo who was screaming, "WAAAHOOOO!"

The princes of Olympus began picking up even more speed as seconds of free falling only grew higher and higher. Even in the midst of a painful death, the boys worked off their nerves by pulling flips and tricks in the air, and laughing at each other. As children, they would jump off of Olympus and see who could fall closest to the mortal world before saving themselves by flashing back up to their home. Even Triton enjoyed this game when he was on Olympus. Not that he had much of a choice in the beginning, when the boys tricked him into standing by the ledge, and tackled him as they all fell yelling. Triton eventually came to yell with joy.

Suddenly, they both heard a roar come from their left, and below them.

Nyssa! Perseus yelled in his mind at the now incoming Wyvern. Over here girl!

Nyssa was an incredible flying monster. She was the size of a dragon, with wings to match. Black was the base color of her body, as her scales were a deep purple with tiny white glowing dots all around. The membrane of her wings were also a very deep purple, and had many veins within. She was 30 feet long. 9 of those feet belonged to her tail. Her skull was huge, with powerful jaws and a sharp nose. Eyes of which the iris was 2 slits.

"Well how about that!" Apollo said, repositioning himself to land on the Fantastic beast comfortably, Perseus following suit.

She swooped right under them, and scooped them up, before turning upwards and flying them straight to the Palace of Hades.

Apollo nocked multiple arrows, and shot them at the incoming harpies that tried to catch up. Apollo was standing, but remained unmoved, and still shot with deadeye accuracy, having the time of his life.

Perseus and Apollo on top of Nyssa, came to the entrance of the palace of Hade's and landed.

They hopped off of her, and Perseus kissed her enormous head, and gave her a well-deserved scratch behind the ears session. Apollo scratched her as well. Perseus was able to summon many, almost any beast he had ever heard of his mother summoning, and they loved him as much as he loved them. Apollo learned quickly the first time Perseus did it, that the beasts he would summon only favored the son of Hera. But a few of them, such as Nyssa warmed up to him, and allowed him to touch them.

"Out of the jaws of death no?" Apollo said to Perseus.

"Maybe for you," he said laughing, and the same time telling the truth. "I can fly on my own remember?"

The boys laughed at each other, and were just glad to have made it out in one piece, before—

"Where have the two of you been?" Hades called out behind the two.

Perseus turned and bowed to him. "Uncle, how are you?"

"Perseus," Hades regarded him in as warm a way as possible, giving him a hug. "Have you forgotten what day it is? Where the two of you are supposed to be?"

Perseus was by far, Hades favorite nephew. He spent many occasions with him and his children in the underworld and had always respected his uncle. He was also great friends with 2 of his children.

Perseus stepped back and said, "What are you talking about uncle?"

"Yeah, I'm not sure what you mean either." Apollo added.

"Boys," Hades said knowing they were both in for it, "you do have prior engagements. As do we all."

Perseus still didn't understand, until he heard his brother's voice in his head.

"Perseus! You and Apollo need to hurry up and get to Olympus! You're going to be late for—"

And that's when it clicked for Perseus and Apollo. They said at the same time "The Domain Ceremony!"

"They do remember," Is all Hades said before he told them, "The two of you had better get to Olympus now. And be quick about it. Perseus your mother is already having a fit."

"Oh, we are so screwed…" Apollo said checking the time of day with his mind. "We have 8 minutes to get there on time!"

Perseus wasted no time in running back to Nyssa, and climbing on her back. He would have flashed himself there, but only the God's whose domains that reside here, keep their powers in the underworld. Perseus had to reach the surface. Apollo climbed back on Nyssa as well.

Tell father, and my mother I will be there soon. Perseus thought to Triton, who confirmed that he would do it.

"See you at the Ceremony Uncle!" Perseus yelled back at Hades who held one hand up to them in farewell.

Perseus and Apollo reached the surface, and tried to flash themselves into Olympus but were unable to. On this day, it resembled when mortals graduated, flashing into Olympus was cut off. It was something the Gods decided to do in order to make it feel a lot more real. It required family to show up at the gates of Olympus.

Once they broke the surface, Perseus told Apollo that Nyssa would get him to his father as fast as possible. Perseus was a lot faster when he flew his own way. With his mother being married to the God of the skies, she had a few gifts of the sky, that passed down to him.

Perseus leapt off Nyssa and flashed in his royal golden wings for a split second, before they flapped, and became invisible.

"Maybe it would have been better to die by the giants!" Apollo yelled over the rushing wind passing over his ears, and blonde hair, "It would have hurt a lot less than what our parents are going to do!" Apollo said enjoying his last few moments of air.

Perseus agreed and said, "See you at the ceremony! Say hello to Zeus and Artemis for me!"

And with that, Perseus sped off 4 times as fast as he was flying on Nyssa. She would get him there in time, but Perseus had to get there now. Not entirely for the ceremony, but so his mother would have mercy on him.

Meanwhile…

Hera could feel Perseus's presence approaching. He was coming in fast too, no doubt realizing what he was almost late for, and wanted to get back to her as fast as possible.

Hera saw a flying mass, with a golden Aura around it, coming in fast, and straight for her.

As mad as Hera was, she couldn't help but think, Wings? That's how he chose to shape his gift of flight? Hera preferred a flying chariot, but that was just her.

Perseus landed in front of his mother, after slowing down substantially. He walked up to his mother very slowly and carefully, as Hera looked him over.

His hair was a mess. His face had sweat all over it. He had a bruise from what had to be a weapon or shield on the side of his head. His Armor that she had custom made for him remained in its pristine and exquisite shape. But it was covered from head to toe in black, and golden dust. Hera concluded there was more than likely 3 times more than that, that was supposed to be there before he took flight.

"Hello mother…" Perseus said bowing to her.

She stood there, staring at her son, with her arms crossed, and fury in her eyes.

"Percy…" she muttered so quietly, if he wasn't a god, he wouldn't have caught it.

He didn't even bother acknowledging his nick name and telling her he didn't like it, this was definitely not the time.

"Mother, I'm sorry I am late, I forgot that today was the Domain Ceremony, and I just—" Perseus began to say, but Hera held up her hand, cutting him off.

"We will talk about where and why later. But as of right now, get out of that armor. Put on your ceremony clothes, and let's go." Hera said using every amount of patience she had left, not to act out right now.

"Yes mother," Perseus said, flashing out of his armor, and changing into a Toga built for a king.

It was white, with gold clasped at his shoulders. All the female goddesses would wear a white toga, with only one shoulder clasped, on the left. and it would hang like a dress. Perseus flashed on his formal foot wear, white Greek sandals, with golden clasps on the buckles. Perseus had a brown belt that went from the top of his left shoulder, to the bottom of his right hip. The female goddesses, such as Hera, would be wearing it around their waste. Perseus and Hera would be the main mother and son, wearing gold. Other gods had their own color's, and this was theirs. They looked as royal as you could possibly bet. After all, the prince of Olympus was to be given his domains today. Hera would not tolerate any other appearance for such a special event.

Also, as Hera's own personal touch, since each god would have their own as well, Perseus wore gold metal bands on his wrist, same as Hera's.

"You look beautiful mother," Perseus made an attempt at trying to break the tension.

If this had been anyone besides Perseus, besides her little prince, she would have jumped down their throats she was so mad. But because she was a mother, this was her child, it was an important day, and said "Thank you."

Perseus feeling slightly better about the situation held out his arm to his side, for his mother to take. She slid her arm through his, and they walked to the Ceremony. With just enough time to be on time.

Author's note's: My god that was a long chapter lol, and they will only get longer. I wanna thank the people who reviewed, and sent me messages. 9 reviews may not seem like a lot, but I'm very humbled and thankful to those that are enjoying it so far. We have barely even scratched the surface. Perseus will stay this age, or in this age range or majority of the stories now. He's around 18, 19, so we will roll with that. The next chapter, obviously he will be getting his domains, so if anybody has any ideas what they could be, please to not hesitate to send me your ideas. Death Fury, I really like those ones you put in the reviews, and he will absolutely be getting most of those. Any other ideas anyone has, don't be shy. And lastly "Orangutaaaaaaaan? Realllllllyyy?" Lol, I'm stupid. But for real though, if you know what that is from, me and you are cool for life. Catch you all in the reviews, and in the next chapter.
