Chapter Two
Reunions and Some Answers
So the polls are closed and only a few votes although I also got a review who answered the questions, thank you for that by the way. The few who did voted chose book appearance, which now that I think about it was probably for the best anyway. So if there is anyone who preferred the other options I am sorry. Also there is going to be a detail in Poseidon's appearance that is not in the books but it is not a mistake it hints at something that I will eventually reveal. Feel free to guess what it is. I love to hear your thoughts so long as it's appropriate and not rude. Some of Percy's conversation with Poseidon is going to be quoted from the movie, which I don't own, they will be in italics. Though some of it will be from the book, those will be underlined. There would also be parts that I add that would be in normal font. I also got the discription of Zeus and Poseidon from the meeting in TLT, though it would be slightly paraphrased. Now for the story.
When Percy went to Olympus after his quest he was met with two of the Olympians, though you could tell they were brothers. One wore a pinstriped suit had black hair that was slightly gray and rainy gray eyes. The other had the same black hair and sea green eyes as Percy. He wore khaki shorts ashirt with coconuts and parrots all over it. On his arms were silver armbands that reminded Percy of the ones Genie wore in Aladdin. (A.N. That's the detail I was talking about.) After Percy returned the bolt and explained what happened on the quest, Zeus left leaving father and son alone.
"Your uncle has always had a flair for dramatic exits. I think he would have done well as the god of theatre. I don't expect you to forgive me, but I want you to know that I'm grateful."
"I didn't do it for you I did it to save mom."
"Please. I don't have much time."
" why didn't you come back."
"I wanted to. When I was with you and your mother I became less concerned with my responsibilities. By the time you turned five I had already turned into a human.
"Is that a bad thing?"
" For a god? Zeus thought so when he found out he brought me to Olympus and made me immortal again. But I was always watching over you. Just because you didn't see me doesn't mean I wasn't there. When you were in trouble I tried to help. You must go child. But first know that your mother has returned."
"My Mother?"
"You will find her at home. Hades sent her when you returned his helm. Even the Lord of Death pays his debts. When you return home, Percy, you must make a important choice. You will find a package in your room."
"A package?"
"You will understand when you see it. No one can choose your path, Percy. You must decide."
"I'll leave you then." With that Poseidon watched as his son left.
I skipped around with both the movie and the book. The main reason is this story is inspired by something Poseidon says in the movie, and I wanted to have Gabe's demise be like the book. Some of the things that was said between the two, mainly by Poseidon, doesn't fit in this universe, so I had to find a way to merge the two. Plus I love the line about Zeus' dramatic exit.
