Author's Q&A:

PMQ: What is Percy's current age? And, will you tell us about his childhood days with Artemis?

A: In mortal years; Perseus is almost 10, as a God however, he is about 19 and a half. He will continue to age for thousands of years obviously, but just like Artemis prefers to stay 12 majority of the time, Perseus will stay, and vary between the ages of 14-19 as a God, because he wants to. & Yes. I will go over the years in between when he was born, to the age he is now. His adventures with Artemis and Apollo before the present time will have their own chapters, as well as events that transpired around him.

Q: Could you make this a Percy x OC story?

A: The Perseus and Artemis pairing will not be for a very long time. That is probably maybe three to four stories down the line. So, in the meantime, yes, I have a couple other girls he will have romantic experiences with, and will assist in his character development. A few of them HAVE to come in in order to get Perseus's mind set where I want it to be by certain point.

Comment's:

Someone was a little shocked that Perseus is still a virgin, and how quick Artemis abandoned the company of men so soon. Percy is still a virgin as a result of being raised by Hera. It'll be in a chapter of its own when I write some pertaining what happened between chapters 1 and 3. But the short answer is, of all the times, not only Zeus, but Poseidon as well, even Hades and Aphrodite, Ares and whoever else slept with mortals, or even other God's that are clearly married or not, Hera is raising Perseus with her values as being the Goddess of marriage. Meaning SHE wants to raise a Godly male, that does not sleep around and take on so many partners period. She wants him to be married before he even thinks about it, and hammered it into his head, that sex, when you are a child of hers, will only come after marriage. Of course, you don't have to be married before you have sex lol. Long as your both protected and safe. I'm just trying to adapt the story, and what Hera's parenting methods would be after experiencing multiple gods abusing her Domain. Perseus doesn't judge Apollo; his mother's influence has just taken deep roots. With Artemis, Orion hasn't happened yet. When I say an experience happened that she didn't share with the boy's, I meant something completely different. And she hasn't adopted her man hating ways yet. As of right now though, she is slightly pulled away from them. You will know when she becomes the Artemis we came to know in the book.

Chapter 4

"Where is your circlet? And what happened to your hand?" Hera asked her son as they trailed their way to the Hall of Olympus. Where the God's thrones resided.

Perseus and his mother were to meet the other Olympians and their children at the front Gates, stand in line according to their parentage, and wait for the minor gods to take their places in the Colosseum of Olympus.

"Oh, Right!" Perseus said closing his eyes for a split second, and flashing his crown as the son of Hera onto his head. It was more of a circlet you could say. The original big three wore crowns, but Hera as one of the big Four, decided she would have circlet's around their heads. It was a lot more elegant in her opinion, and would set her and her son apart wherever they went.

The circlet wrapped around his head, and was Gold and silver, with three gems placed in the front of it, in an upside-down triangle. The gems that wrapped around the sides were all white, and glimmered in the sunlight. The one upon Hera's head held the same resemblance, but hers was all gold.

"My hand? Um…" Perseus was lost for words. Telling her about his hand meant telling her everything that happened. And he dared not lie to her. She raised him, and he knew as her only child, she paid even more attention to him growing up, and was always able to recognize if he got in trouble.

Hera let out a deep sigh, deciding to let it go, for today was a day of celebration for the god's. She grabbed his hand with her left, as her right arm was currently wrapped around his left, as he escorted her. As she grabbed it, and could sense Perseus felt a shot of pain, shoot through his hand.

Closing her eyes, Hera poured energy into his hand. God's that didn't have healing powers, were able to heal their own children through their connection. She could feel a presence of misery and death in the nerves of his palm and fingers. But it didn't last long, as Hera, very proficient with healing Perseus stomped it out quickly.

"Thanks mom," Perseus said flexing and unflexing his fingers.

"Mhmm. Death mist?" Hera said facing her child. Perseus seemed shocked that she pinpointed it so quickly. "I've been alive a lot longer then you Perseus. I know poison and death when I see it."

Perseus tried to look at the ground, attempting not to give away any signs that she was right. Still furious, Hera shook her head, but smiled slightly. Perseus was an adventurer. Always had been. She knew his curiosity got him into trouble on more than one occasion. He would go on to ignore the danger that came with it, and would put his life on the line many more times in the near future.

Hera smiled. He was definitely her son. She remembered the numerous adventures she took after escaping her father's stomach. Facing death in the face, and narrowly escaping. Although gods couldn't die, it would still take a century to reform. Hestia and Poseidon being exact opposites, fighting side by side, with Hera. She saw so much of herself, and his father in Perseus.

He was so like her.

They turned a corner, and saw the gigantic Hall of Olympus, and the Olympians lined up in front of the magnificent building.

Zeus stood at the forefront of the group, Apollo and Artemis at his sides. Zeus was dressed as a king should be. He wore a white toga, with multiple gems, and jewels upon his crown. His crown was the grandest, and most flashy of them all. Everything about him commanded power and attention.

Apollo and Artemis were dressed fairly the same with a few differences. Apollo had long blond hair down to the top of his shoulders, that seemed to glow even out of the sun light. His toga was the color of the sun, and he had a smaller crown adorned upon his head than his father. He was the most handsome of the God's, even more than his father. And these were his natural looks.

Artemis had on a shining silver toga, with only one shoulder clasped in silver and gold. She had bracelets on her arms and a version of her father's crown on her head. Artemis usually kept her very long hair in a braid, but today she let it down. Her long auburn hair had natural long and wavy curls in them. She had various gems placed strategically in her hair. She was beautiful, and could definitely rival Aphrodite and Hera.

Behind them, his father, Poseidon, and brother Triton, with a space in front of them, for where Perseus and Hera would stand. Poseidon wore a toga, lined with sea blue along the edges. Sapphires rested in his arm braces, and in the front of his crown. His beard was shorter then when Perseus last saw it yesterday.

Triton reflected their father exactly, except for the beard. He was clean shaven as the mortals say it.

Behind them, Hades stood with three of his children around him. 2 sons, and a daughter. Zagreus, Ploutos, and Macaria.

Hades transformed his helm of darkness, into a dark crown, that contained sharp edges on top. Black Diamonds, found only in the underworld, were in every crease of his crown. His toga was black, and looked as though it held living darkness. Instead of arm braces, he had on multiple dark rings, with one being red. Each ring placed on every other finger on both hands.

Zagreus and Ploutos were dressed the same. Black Togas, with 1 arm brace on their left arms, and a gloved hand with a flat black diamond on their right hands. They both had black hair, and looked a like. However, Zagreus had long hair past his ears, and Ploutos had short hair above them. That was how Perseus was able to tell the boys apart. They both had crowns exactly like their father. Only their crowns weren't as big, and didn't seem to be alive.

Macaria, shocking to everyone who first saw her, even Perseus, stunningly beautiful. She had long black hair that stretched down to her waist, at the moment, her hair was over her shoulder. Gorgeous violet eyes. Her Toga was a very dark gray, with multiple black diamonds scattered across it, making it seem like she had little specks of light turning on and off as the sun hit them. Her crown was smaller than her brothers, but it was twice as royal and beautiful. It didn't have as many sharp spikes, just two on the sides, but she had various brown gems in her hair, and a necklace full of gems of black, gray, and brown that clung to her. She had 2 rings that stretched across her left pinky, and right ring finger, in a magnificent glowing blue. She was the middle child. Ploutos being the oldest.

Behind them, Demeter stood with a boy and a girl. Demeter had her hair in a complex hairstyle. On top of her head was a crown made completely out of the strongest, and most fluidly colored trees. They didn't hold gems, but in the knots, were multiple flowers, that only added to the beauty of the crown. Demeter wore a brown toga, with various plants wrapped around her waist and shoulders.

Despoena, the girl, was the embodiment of earthly beauty. She was completely natural, in her forest green eyes, and her brown skin. Her hair was just below her shoulders. Her crown was made of wood too, but she kept it quite simple with the tops of daisies all around her crown. She wore a brown toga as well, with multiple white rose petals an inch apart, all across her dress. She also had a white tulip behind her left ear. In her hair, she had multiple daffodils growing naturally beautiful.

Eubuleus, the boy, has curly hair that came just barely below his ears. He had a demeaner about him that just brought the calm of nature around him. He wore a brown toga, with vines wrapped around him. On his crown made of wood, he had multiple different kinds of seeds on them that he intentionally did not grow yet, the way they were placed in his crown, formed a picture of trees.

Behind them, stood Hestia. She had a daughter with her. Her adopted demigod daughter that became a goddess. Hestia looked quite riveting. She wore a white toga, at the bottom, little flames seemed to dance on the edges of her dress. Her crown atop her head, had deep red rubies and diamonds in them. It was brown and gold.

Her adopted daughter, Jiasemia, was never claimed by her Godly parent, and she was an orphan as a baby. Jiasemia had a face beautiful enough to write poetry about, according to Apollo. She had long dark dirty blonde hair, that shrouded around her shoulders. Her toga was white, with yellow at all the edges, and she had a few rings on her hands that were on fire. The crown upon her head was silver, with 4 rubies around her head, all of which seemed to have flames in them.

Behind her, Ares stood alone for once. Usually every domain ceremony, he had four or five children with him, but this one, Ares was standing alone. He did not wear a toga, but his armor was formal. His crown that came down his face like a helmet was on fire at the top. His eyes were 2 small balls of explosions. Ares wore black armor, with every crack and crevice on fire.

Behind Ares was Athena. She did not have any godly children. But she was shrouded in her extremely curly black hair that was just below her shoulders. Her toga was a storm gray, with multiple Greek letters sprawled across the entire of it. Her crown was beautiful as well. Adorned with gorgeous Diamonds that sparkled in the sunlight, and made her already very beautiful face radiant.

Behind her was Aphrodite with too many daughters to describe individually. Especially for the fact that they were all drop dead gorgeous. All the girls looked like their mother, some blonde, and some brunette. One had brown hair. Aphrodite wore a pink toga, adorned it every gem known to the gods. She wore perfect godly make up, and smelled of summer roses. Her crown was just as flashy as Zeus's but not as royal.

Behind Aphrodite was Hermes. He stood next to his daughter; Angelia. Hermes was handsome, and wore completely white robes with no other designs on them. His crown was a simple silver and white crown, shrouded with Topaz's and diamonds.

Angelia however was breath taking. Her toga was white as well, but had various diamonds placed all around her exposed arms. She had glittered topaz dust on the top of her crown, that made her stand out. She had beautiful, full, and long strawberry blonde hair, that subtly became darker the further down her hair went.

Behind them was Hephaestus, and his son Michail. His toga was gray, like an anvil. His crown wasn't like everybody else's. His crown was made of platinum and that was that. Simple and straight to the point. It was strongly crafted however, and gave credit to his craftmanship.

His son Michail was tall and lanky, and wore a gray toga, with red on the edges. On the red of the edges, were symbols of the anvil, and a hammer. His crown was gray and made of platinum as well.

Dionysus was the last god in line. His Toga was wine red, and had black on the edges. His crown, made of grape vines, and had a fountain of wine in the center, gave him a look of hilarity. He had no children with him, but his daughter would be at the next one.

Perseus and Hera got into their places behind Zeus, and in front of Poseidon, Apollo winking to Perseus on the way by. Artemis gave him a dazzling smile without even smiling to big. Hera saw the wink Apollo gave to Perseus, and knew immediately that he was with him on his adventure. The two had been inseparable since they were children.

Zeus gave both the son of Hera, and his mother a nasty look, clearly still angered by the fact that she got up enough nerve to not only divorce him, but divorce him with confidence. He didn't approve of their children being friends, but the only reason he allowed it, was because he knew that Poseidon and him, were just barely on good terms. They did not need war. Not amongst each other. Not again.

Perseus did not like Zeus either. When Zeus found out that Hera would be divorcing him, he became angered, chained her above the hole of chaos, and left her there. Perseus hearing his mother's screams, even at 2 years old, went to his father, but he wasn't at his palace. Amphitrite was however, and he told her what was happening. Amphitrite grabbed Perseus, and flashed them both to Hera, and she released her. Perseus was crying at the sight of his mother being chained like that, and immediately went to her. She hugged her son, crying, and thanked Amphitrite eternally, forming a friendship between the two since that day.

The time to head to the ceremony came when they heard the loud gong of Olympus's clock. The god's, following Zeus, Apollo, and Artemis in the lead, made their way to the Colosseum. Thousands upon thousands of minor gods filled the sidewalks and streets of Olympus. And at the sight of their rulers, they all bowed and stood up, marveling.

Hera, with her arm still wrapped around Perseus's, waved her hand, and he followed suit. She ensured Perseus learn, that when someone of royalty, meets their people, they will wave, and give a kind, bright smile. The Olympian god's followed suit and all waved to the minor gods as well.

The walk to the Colosseum was long, in the sense that it was far away. Perseus wasn't one to immediately just tell anybody he was the prince of Olympus. He didn't mind when people called him, "Your Highness," or when people bowed to him. But he always told them to just call him Perseus, and that it wasn't necessary to bow to him.

But at the moment, Perseus felt great honor being the son of Hera, and Poseidon. 2 Of the big four. He smiled, and waved at all of the minor gods.

And soon, they approached the Colosseum, which was 90 times the size of the Hall of Olympus. The other minor gods were then given thirty seconds to flash into their seats, the restriction taken off by Zeus.

To their left, about 22 minor gods approached them. They were minor gods that would be getting their domains, and their parents standing next to them. They entered through a different tunnel into the Colosseum, taking their positions on the inside. The Olympians then spread out, breaking the line, children still staying with their parents. Poseidon went with Triton over to a body of water on Perseus's right. Hestia and Hephaestus went and stood by a pillar of Greek fire. Hermes went to the Area close to Zeus. Perseus and Hera stood by a floating blanket of gold.

Aphrodite and her Daughters stood by what appeared to be floating pink smoke. Other Olympians stood at different things around the Colosseum that Perseus couldn't see because, he was only on one side of it with his mother. His mother unwrapped her arm from his and stood waiting. Perseus was confused as to what he was to do next. As were all the Godlings getting their domains today.

But Perseus knew to stay silent, and watch what his mother did next. They stood and waited, no doubt that the minor gods getting their domains were getting in position.

Another gong sounded.

Perseus watched as his mother gripped the floating Golden blanket in front of her, and he followed her lead. She spun inwards into it, and Perseus did the same with slightly less grace, suddenly very nervous.

Suddenly, Perseus and his mother were spinning constantly, and in an instant, the gold surrounding his vision disappeared and was replaced with the inside of the Colosseum. The huge blanket of gold moving rapidly around them, and disappearing into a magnificent explosion of gold sparkles.

At the same time, Lightning exploded from the sky, slammed into the aground, and Zeus, Artemis, and Apollo were standing next to them. Water streamed powerfully in the air, as his father, and Triton materialized out of the wet particles. Aphrodite and her daughters, poofed in out of nowhere, and what came a split second afterwards, was an extremely captivating smell of roses and perfume.

Hades and his children walked out of the shadows of fantastic figures showing up behind them. There was a statue nearby, and the figure of a woman poring wine, suddenly poured out Dionysus. Hermes and his daughter floated down in a grand display of white swans.

Demeter and her children formed out of a beautiful, grand, and well-aged tree, and took solid shape. Athena burst out in a display of pages, and the letters on those pages, jumped off the parchment and formed the goddess. Ares came out of two black rocks that smashed together.

And finally, Hestia, her daughter, and Hephaestus and his son, burst out of two enormous Olympic torches in two grand balls of fire, that kept the torches lit.

The millions of minor gods in the Colosseum exploded in cheers and yells, of the magnificent display. The sounds would have exploded the head of a mortal or demigod easily.

The Olympians and their children walked into a semi-circle at the middle of the Colosseum, as Zeus laughed and said loudly—

"GOD'S GODDESSES AND GODLINGS! IT IS MY GREAT HONOR, TO WELCOME YOU TO THE DOMAIN CEREMONY!"

The minor gods once again exploded into a loud cheer.

"TODAY IS THE DAY, THAT WE HONOR THE GOD'S WHO HAVE PASSED THEIR HARROWING AND PILGRIMAGE!"

The minor god's that were getting their domains, were all standing far to the right, while their parents stood far to left. They, just like Perseus and the Olympian children, smiled, and waved, making the crowds cheer yet again.

"AND SO, WE LET THEM DISPLAY THEIR POWER, AS IT IS, WILL AFFECT GREATLY WHAT DOMAINS THEY WILL BE GIVEN! GODLINDS! SHOW THEM THE POWER OF WHICH YOU PASSED YOUR HARROWING!

Perseus, as well as all the Olympian children, and the minor gods receiving their domains today, flared their powers. A few minor god's as well as Perseus and Angelia, who could fly, took to the skies. Perseus activating his magnificent golden wings, and launching himself into the air. Angelia right with him. A few minor gods that could fly took to the skies as well. Some had chariots, others had wings. Some only controlled the air. Other's flew with their weapons, and others flew because of their armor, or an animal. Perseus and Angelia crossed each other in the air, and high-fived each other while laughing with joy.

The Olympian children and minor god's who couldn't fly, made a show of the powers they had while on the ground. Some wielded power magnificently, others had fire, and various elements. Someone controlled snow and such. Some had control over the earth. Some played music that mesmerized the crowd. Some caused a small storm around themselves. It was an incredible display. Perseus also brought some water up with him, and launched it in all directions.

All of the Colosseum shook with cheers from the Minor gods still at the bottom, shaking the very bones of the complex.

After their display, all the gods receiving their domains brought their power back within themselves.

Perseus and Angelia landed at the same time, next to their parents again. Hera was flashing a brilliant smile at Perseus, proud of her baby boy. Perseus, then bowed to her, as did all the other godlings to their parents.

"AND NOW GOD'S, I GIVE YOU, THE FATES!" Zeus completed.

In three bright flashes, three women flashed themselves into the middle of Olympus, and the Colosseum went wild again, cheering for the three women that had given each god in the audience that had their domains, their domains.

Now it was the Olympians turn to bow to the fates, and the Children followed.

The fates spoke as one, when the all looked at them.

"All hail the Olympian gods!" They announced in very raspy voices.

"ALL HAIL THE OLYMPIAN GODS!" The Colosseum repeated to them.

Perseus came out of his bow, holding his arm out again to his mother, and he escorted her to her throne, in the semi-circle. As did all the Olympians, taking their seats. Perseus, as well as all the Olympian Children sat at the foot of their parent's throne. Perseus looked over to his father and Triton, who both flashed him great and happy smiles.

"Every thirty years," the fates said, speaking in unison, "We hold the domain Ceremony. And attach the destiny of each god that has passed their harrowing, to their fate. To be given domains, is to be given your godly life. Your godly duty. And so, shall it be your fate, for eternity. Let what is bestowed on you today, be your greatest strength. In the name of the fates, so let it be."

"SO LET IT BE!" The Colosseum responded.

"And so, we begin with the minor gods. Stand as your name is called, kneel in front of us, bow your head, touch the ancient disk on the ground, and accept your fate." The fates said in a finally.

As each Godling stood up and came to the fates, so did their parents step up, claim, and introduce them to the fates.

They would say the standard introductions, "I present to you my son/daughter," and say their name, and their parentage. The fates say their name and continue on saying, "—we bestow upon you the domains of—" say their domains and continue on to say, "should you accept that which be bound to your life." They say, "I accept," and the disk below them and the fates pulses, and shines on them, sealing their domains. The fates then ask, "Be there anyone here, who wishes to bless them, or make them their champion?"

The god's that wish to bless them, come up and say, "I—" their name, "Upon thee eternally bless you. So, should you accept the duties that come with them.

They say, "I accept," The disk pulses once more, and the powers given are sealed. And the next one steps up.

There were around 40 minor gods getting their domains today. On top of the Olympian children.

For each God that got their domains, the Colosseum would explode in cheers. When a god got blessed, or became a champion, they would again cheer just as loud. No architecture on earth, could sustain the noise and soundwaves coming from the Colosseum.

Perseus watched God after God, get their domains, and the closer it got to him, the more nervous he got. Perseus's hands began to sweat, and he felt like fidgeting, but he stayed still with practiced stability. His mother taught him at an early age, proper manners, and behavior. Part of it was staying still in moments of importance.

Hera could sense Perseus's nervousness heightening, and placed her hand on his shoulder.

Its ok my love, Hera spoke into his mind. You will get your domains, and you will be fine. I'm right here.

I know, Perseus thought back to her without turning his head. I just can't help but wonder, what are the fates gonna link my life to? Its forever, and forever for us, never ends.

Shhh, be calm my love, Hera responded. Whatever it is, it will be of your greatest traits, and you have many.

Noticing that Perseus was still on edge, Hera spoke to him from her heart.

Remember when you were born, and you had a slight problem with your heart?

Yes, Perseus responded. You, told me it was too small to pump all of my blood.

Indeed, I did, but there was a reason. Something was trying to attack you. Something recognized what you would be in the future, and decided to end you as a baby. At your weakest.

You never told me that, Perseus said back to his mother. You said it was a simple fix.

No. It was not Hera said to her son, it was a three-month process of you going in and out of good health. It was fatal, and I almost lost you on many occasions. I told you it was a small thing, because I didn't want to scare you at the time.

This wasn't helping, Perseus was freaking out even more. So why tell me now, if you were trying not to freak me out! He said desperately back to his mother.

Because, I always knew you were meant for greatness, Hera said smiling to herself as the next Godling was called.

What? Perseus said, still not understanding where the "helping" part was supposed to come in,

Hera chuckled and said, Percy, you're a fighter. As a baby, I knew you were meant for greatness because you fought. I couldn't help you. Your father couldn't help you. It was all you. But you fought Perseus, before you even knew what fighting was. You fought for your life, and I knew, just by the way you were still smiling and giggling, while it was all happening, that regardless of what life or the fates will throw at you, you will overcome it. Because you are a fighter. You always have been.

Perseus didn't even realize he wasn't nervous anymore. He just listened to the words of his mother, and he wasn't afraid. A single tear fell down his face. He thought of his father, his brother, Amphitrite and his mother. He realized even if he struggled with whatever the fates linked him with, that he always had a net of family to fall back on.

Thank you, mom, was all Perseus could muster to say back to her.

Hera mentally kissed him on the cheek and said, Anytime my love.

And she withdrew her hand from his shoulder, watching the smile that she had come to know, com back on his face.

The final minor god was given her domains, and The Colosseum made even more noise, if you could believe it was possible. Even Perseus and the other Olympian Children cheered.

"And now, for the Olympian born!" The fates announced the even louder Colosseum crowd.

All the Olympians, and their children stood up in unison. The ones that didn't have any children would stay standing, but stay put.

Perseus would be last. The fates went in the order of royalty and level importance. He would be the final to be called. Because that of all things, was something he wanted. To be the center of attention at the domain ceremony.

And so, the fates called the first one down.

"Angelia!" The fates called in unison. Angelia made her way to the fates, as her father presented her.

"I present to you, my daughter Angelia, whose mother is a minor god known as Zenenia." Hermes said.

"Angelia," the fates said, "We bestow upon you the domains of, Tidings, proclamations and name you the Daemon of messages. Should you accept that which be bounded to your life."

"I accept" Angelia said while kneeling, and her head bowed.

The disk below her, and the fates pulsed, and began shining light on her.

"Be there anyone here, who wishes to bless her, or make her their champion?" The fates asked loudly.

Aphrodite stepped up and said "I upon thee eternally bless you. Should you accept the duties that come with it."

"I accept," Angelia said, head still bowed.

The disk below her, once again, pulsed, and a pink aura surrounded her from the disk. Her original scent, now had a hint of lavender, which many in the Colosseum found amazing.

With no one else coming forward, the fates sealed her domains in the ancient speaking, and she returned with her father, to his throne, and sat at the foot of it.

Godling after godling went, as follows.

Next were the daughters of Aphrodite, who all got the domains of different types of beauty and love. Two of which were blessed by Demeter.

Next came the son and daughter of Demeter.

Eubuleus-Scholars, vines, and photosynthesis.

Despoena-Mysteries and Arcadia.

Next was the son of Hephaestus

Michail-Coals, and God of the Anvil.

Then Hestia's daughter.

Jiasemia-Embers and warmth. She was also blessed by Aphrodite.

Next were the children of Hades.

Zagreus-Serpents.

Ploutus-Wealth.

Macaria-became the blessed by death, as well as the goddess of Ghost, and the princess of the underworld. Demeter stepped forward, and made her granddaughter her champion.

Next came the first son Triton. Perseus held his breath, as his brother stepped forward with their father.

Triton became the messenger of the seas, and the god of shells.

Next, both Artemis, and Apollo were presented to the fates, at the same time.

"I Zeus, present to you my twin son and daughter, Apollo, and Artemis, children of the titan Leto." Zeus told the fates.

Both of them kneeled, and bowed to the three women.

"Artemis," they began with her first, "We bestow upon you, the domains of Chasity, Maidenhood, the hunt, the Moon, Natural Environment, and make you the goddess of Archery. Should you accept that which be bounded to your life."

Artemis spoke up and said, "I accept."

Aphrodite came up, and blessed her, with eternal beauty.

"Apollo, we bestow upon you, the domains of, Music, Healing, the Sun, Poetry, and Archery. Should you accept that which be bounded to your life."

"I accept." Apollo said, with a lot of restraint from adding some kind of comment after wards that would get him in a lot of trouble.

Perseus almost chuckled to himself at the effort.

Aphrodite blessed him with eternal charm.

As no one else stepped up, the now proclaimed twin archers, stood up, and joined their father at the base of his throne.

That only left…

"Perseus!"

Perseus stood up with his mother, as his father stepped from his throne, to stand on the other side of him.

The only thing Perseus could think of in this moment was, Left foot, right foot. Left foot, right foot. Left foot, right foot.

It seemed like it took forever, but Perseus eventually made it to the fates, kneeled, bowed his head, and placed his hand on the disk in the ground.

"I Queen Hera, present to you, my son, Perseus, fathered by Poseidon, King of the seas." Hera said while bowing, and in a strong confident voice.

"Perseus," the fates said, as the prince held his breath.

"We bestow upon you, the domains of, Tides, Ice, Fatherhood, Demigod's, Swordsmanship, Balance, Royalty, the Bridge, Stars, Loyalty, and we title you Eklektos and Prince of Olympus. Should you accept that which be bounded to your life."

Many of the Gods went silent, or began to mutter. Perseus was titled Eklektos. It wasn't just a name. It was something ancient, but the Godling didn't know what that would mean. Both Hera and Poseidon were both a little stunned, but caught themselves.

Perseus is Eklektos? They both thought to themselves.

Perseus took a deep breath and said, "I accept." The disk below him pulsed once. Perseus could feel something shoot up his arm, into the rest of his body, and the light coming from it, he felt it priming him.

Little did Perseus know, those 2 words, would change his life forever, and put him on the path of an adventure that would never end.

"Be there anyone here who wishes to bless him, or make him their champion?"

Hades, and Hestia stepped forward, as well as Demeter, and Aphrodite.

"I Hades eternally make you my champion, and give you the powers of the underworld. Should you choose to accept the duties that come with them. "

Perseus took yet another deep breath, and said, "I accept."

Another pulse shot threw the disk, and up his arm. Suddenly, Perseus could feel access to another whole part of the planet. It wasn't that he felt stronger, but he felt a variety of newly yet to be discovered powers, surging threw his whole body. The sensation nearly made him dizzy, but Perseus kept his head down, and his hand on the disk.

Hades went back to his throne, as Hestia stepped up and said, "I Hestia, eternally make you my champion, and give you the powers of the Hearth. Should you choose to accept the duties that come with them.

Perseus prepared himself for the pulse, and the sensation that would shoot up his arm, after saying, "I accept."

It came.

Hestia went back to her throne and sat down.

"I Demeter, eternally bless you, should you choose to accept the duties that come with it."

Perseus decided instead of prepping himself for it, he'd just blurt out, "I accept."

The pulse, and all the sensations came.

Lastly, Aphrodite stepped up, and said, "I Aphrodite, eternally bless you, should you choose to accept the duties that come with it."

Perseus had his teeth clenched, as he was trying to keep himself under control with all the powers being sent up his arm, and primed through the light that shined on him.

"I accept," Perseus said immediately holding his breath after saying it.

The final pulse went through the disk, and shot up his arm, and it took every amount of mental restraint he had, not to yell at the top of his lungs, and pull his hand back."

As the fates processed the domains he had just received, they recited, "As other Olympians have made you their champions, your additional domains, are shadows, night, the Fade, Flame, Nature, chivalry, will and drive."

As the fates sealed the powers within Perseus, the final pulse went through, the disk, and sealed his domains, forever.

Perseus didn't hesitate in pulling his arm up, as the light from the disk faded, and he was flexing the muscles in his arm. His entire body was tingling with powers he wasn't used to, or had ever felt before.

Getting his bearings, Perseus, bowed to the fates ones more, and walked back to Hera's throne. He sat down at the base of her throne.

The fates announced, "All hail, The Olympians!"

"ALL HAIL THE OLYMPIAN GODS!" The Colosseum responded back to them, and the fates flashed out, not to be seen for another 30 years.

Zeus stood up, and gestured for everyone in the Colosseum to do the same.

"I GIVE YOU," Zeus began, "YOUR NEW FELLOW GODS!"

This was the loudest the Colosseum had been yet. It was even hurting other God's ears.

Zeus gestured to all the new domain having gods, to stand with him.

Perseus was still a little dizzy, but he stood proud, all the same, as did his mother, so proud of him. As did his father, brimming with Perseus's courage.

"AND SO, LET THE FEAST, FESTIVAL, AND CELEBRATION, BEGIN!"

Author's note: And so, our heroes have their domains. Thank you to everyone for favoriting, following, and your comments and support. Yall are some real ones. Also, I got a few people asking, if Perseus could be with another character. The Artemis and Perseus pairing is not for many stories down the line. That's how I originally wanted to see this go. But I'm always open to my audience and their Ideas. So, BAM! I just gave you multiple females. Yeah, they are technically still his cousins, but I myself am trying as hard as possible not to see it that way. Annabeth is technically his cousin too, so, I mean….Anyway, for his first romance, I will be putting up a pole with the name of all the girls that were mentioned, and you guys can pick who you like most for the first romance. It will be open for about 2 weeks, so that will be plenty of time for character development, so you guys can choose which character you like best then if you want. But the Perseus and Artemis thing will happen at some point. Unless I see that people like who wins the pole more than the Idea of Artemis. She has my vote though. Anyway, I'm gonna go head and eat dinner. It's also cold as a mug up in here. A'ight, Later!
