Chapter 4: Blessings, Age, and Names
Percy POV
We were called to Olympus and I knew that we were getting our first assignment from Hades. I wondered why they summons us to Olympus though.
When we got there all the Olympians were in their seats and were looking at us.
" Demigod we are here to give you your jobs and get blessed by the four people of your choice,'' Zeus thundered.
" You all well be given a list of names of spirits according to how powerful and capable you are. You can team up with whoever you want and you will be aged until you reach the age of eighteen. Also, you need to make up code names for your selves in case someone tries to catch you or listens in to your conversations.
The order in which they called us was from most powerful to the least.
The order was me, Thalia, Jason, Nico, Hazel, Annabeth, Frank, Piper, Leo, Rayna, Will, and Calypso.
'' Now that you have gotten your assignments you will choose who will bless you. When we call your name please step forward and you may choose. Now let's start. Calypso." My father said.
Calypso POV
I looked at each god and goddess and picked my four
" I pick Demeter, Apollo, Airtimes, and Hephaestus." I felt power flow into my veins and I felt more energetic.
I picked Demeter because of the control of plants and I could now summon different types of plants which can be used to heal or be used as poison.
I picked Apollo because of healing which I know will come in handy since I will be near demigods that are really accident prone.
Airtimes because of the hunting skills and Hephaestus because of his building skills.
" Will S."
Will POV
I had already chosen the gods that I wanted to be blessed by.
" I chose Zeus, Hermes, Ares, and Athena"
Zeus because I could use his powers to defend myself, Hermes so that I will be able to sneak up on my enemies and have faster reflexes. Ares and Athena because of their abilities to make plans and I will now will also be able to be good with other weapons.
''Rayna A."
Rayna POV
'' I choose Athena, Ares, Zeus and Hades"
I chose Athena and Ares because of their battle skill and Zeus because of his power to control lightning. I Also picked Hades because of the control over metals.
"Leo V"
Leo POV
" I pick Hermes, Apollo, Dionysus, and Demeter" I chose Hermes and Apollo because they seem very chill but also because they can be powerful when they want to.
I picked Demeter and Dionysus because I could probably get closer to Calypso by seeing and getting into her hobbies.
''Piper M"
Piper POV
" I chose Apollo, Hermes, Demeter, and Hestia"
I chose Apollo, Demeter, and Hestia because their powers will be able to help me hurt or heal. I chose Hermes because he is the god of lies and charm speak is sort of like lying so his powers will strengthen my charm speak.
"Frank Z"
Frank POV
" I pick Athena, Hestia, Apollo, and Demeter"
I chose them for intelligence, protection, and healing.
" Annabeth C"
Annabeth POV
"I pick Poseidon, Ares, Airtimes, and Hestia"
I chose Poseidon and Hestia because they are very powerful even if they don't show it, but I also chose them to be closer to my Seaweed Brain.
Ares and Airtimes because of their fighting styles.
"Hazel L"
Hazel POV
" I chose Ares, Athena, Hephaestus, and Poseidon"
I chose Athena, Ares, and Hephaestus because of battle skill and intelligence, while I chose Poseidon to communicate with Arion.
"Nico D."
Nico POV
"Zeus, Poseidon, Apollo, and Hermes'' I said this in a bord tone and without respect.
I chose Zeus and Poseidon to be able to protect my self from my cousins, Apollo and Hermes to surprise my friends. Also I will be able to heal faster and prank people better.
"Jason G"
Jason POV
'' I chose Apollo, Ares, Hermes, and Hephaestus"
I chose Hermes for his speed, Ares for his skill with weapons, Apollo for his healing abilities, and Hephaestus so I can be able to hack anyplace.
" Thalia"
Thalia POV
" I chose Airtimes, Hades, Athena, and Hermes.
I just chose them cuz I felt like it
"Percy J"
Percy POV
" Hera, Demeter, Dionysus, and Zeus."
Everyone looked socked when I chose Hera and Dionysius, but I chose them because Hera can look and take people's memories, plus she could predict what people will do just by reading their minds. With Dionysus' powers I could drive a person insane and use grape vines to strangle people.
People looked at me strangely when I said Demeter and Zeus. I chose Demeter because I will be able to control plants to hurt or protect people and I can also summon plants that are poisonous or plants that can help heal. I chose Zeus because I could then not be blasted off when I am in the sky so yay. Also, I could control my storm bringer powers even better. (And people call me a Seaweed Brain).
After I was done Zeus said," Now some gods will bless you whether you like it or not. They want to bless you. Some minor god will also come here. As well as the five rivers of the underworld that want to bless some of you ... surprisingly," he muttered that last part but I was able to hear him.
Just then Hecate, Nemeses, Thanatos, and Hypnos flashed here. Then five other people (who must be the five rivers of the underworld) appeared.
" Us Olympians will bless you first"

(still Percy)
All of the sudden I felt a burning in my back. I held back a scream as the pain in my back got worse. I went on one knee. Then the pain stopped and I felt a weight on my back. I turned around and saw wings! The feathers were black, gold, bronze and silver. I flapped them and then I looked at the gods to explain, but they also looked the wings in wonder
" Can someone explain what just happened?'' Thalia said.
" Well it seems that my son got the blessing of every Olympian. Then that means that all of you blessed him! Even you Airtimes?!" They all nodded yes.
Whoa just whoa.
" Okay now that that is over can we bless them" said Thanatos.

3RD POV
After they were done the minor gods left as well as the rivers, but then the goddess Hebe appeared.
"Would you like me to bless them now" she asked.
"Yes " Zeus responded.
All of the sudden the 12 demigods were covered in a white light and when it was over they looked like they were eighteen or nineteen. Annabeth and Percy looked better than ever and were very good looking with Aphrodite's blessing. Then it was Jason and Piper, Nico and Thalia, Frank and Hazel, Rayna and Will, and finally Leo and Calypso.
'' We will now flash you back to camp half blood and all those souls better be back in the underworld by next year."
When the heroes arrived at camp half-blood they received a message of what their powers were and Percy had the most powers.
" Guys we should make up a name for our group and make up code names like big Z said" Leo said.
They went in cabin 3 and started to talk about their group name
Percy POV
"Well I think we should name our should be Suicide Squad" Leo said. I just laughed at him and said," Dude you are obsessed with that movie.
" What about " The Immortals','' I suggested. " I mean we are immoralish and we are reviling ourselves but at the same time we aren't''
They all angered and we moved on with code names.
- code names -
Percy - Serpent (because he killed a sea serpent and has a lot of scales, so he is planning to put one at each place he steals at and/or kills someone).
Annabeth - Owl (because they are wise and good hunters)
Jason - Strom (because he can create one)
Piper - Beauty ( because she is)
Frank - Animal (because he can shape shift into them)
Hazel - Diamond ( because she can control and summon metals { which also means that she can control the iron in blood})
Leo - Flame (because he could light himself on fire)
Calypso - Prisoner (because she was a prisoner I on her island)
Nico - Shadow ( has control over them)
Thalia - Hunter ( because she was one)
Rayna - Queen ( her name in English)
Will - Light ( because of his father being the god of the sun)
- done -
With that they went to sleep, but stayed in the Poseidon cabin.
