Chapter 4: Welcome to Olympus
Zeus looked at Percy, "Council dismissed." he announced. Once every god had left, Zeus walked towards his son. Percy looked at him warily, "So?"
"Walk with me, Percy."
Zeus started out the throne room and Percy ran to catch up with him. The father and son walked in silence until Zeus said, "I'm sorry, Perseus."
Percy gave Zeus a confused look. "For everything, the lies, the prophecy, the secrecy, not being there for you when I should've."
"Yeah, you should've been there," Percy frowned, "You all should have. Hephaestus should have been there when Leo's mom died, Ares should have been there for when Frank's mom died, Hades should have been there for Nico when Bianca died, Aphrodite should've been there when Piper was getting in trouble with the law, you should've been there for Thalia and Jason and me.." Percy sighed, his anger subsiding, "But I forgave Poseidon, and i'm gonna forgive you too. But that doesn't mean that i dint need you."
Zeus stopped walking abruptly. Anger brewing in his eyes, "You're right, I messed up. And i won't ever forgive myself for letting him do that to you."
Silence fell upon the two.
"I want you to be honest with me, no lies. The entire story."
"Well, I met your Mother and we… made you, and then I had to leave. But your powers were attracting monsters, and your mother was struggling to keep you safe. So, I decided to help, we took you to Olympus, for make 6 months when you were 3 years old, we blocked your powers as a son of Zeus and Poseidon gave you powers over his realm, but we had some difficulties. When you first met the olympians your eyes, they changed. From, your original eye colour, blue, to green then black, and red. We dismissed it as a trick of the light because it never happened again. Then we removed the powers of the sky and when we gave you the power of Poseidon, it didn't work, the powers rejected you, but the next day, your appearance changed and your powers worked perfectly fine. We decided to keep you on Olympus, watch you, make sure everything was fine. And everything was, you seemed in check, nothing abnormal. Besides some mishaps due to some inconveniences. So, we sent you back home, and your mother asked me about Gabe, I told her it was possible for you to be hidden and then she-"
"Married him. So I don't look like this, and I shouldn't have these powers, you put it in me?"
"Yes."
"And what do i look like?"
"You shall see soon, son. You will also remove the blockade, so you will have your original powers, and assuming the prophecy is talking about you, you will also have other powers. And will need to start training and learning how to use them. But as of now, you will be required to drink this and go to your room, where Hecate will help you."
"My room?"
"Well you will be staying at Olympus so a bedroom would be required. Let me show you."
Zeus started walking again and percy hastily caught up with him.
"So how long will i be staying here?"
"For as long as it is required for you to do so."
They stopped walking outside a door, with golden lettering on the door:
Perseus Jackson
Zeus looked at his son, and gestured to the door, signaling him to go inside, "I hope you like it." He whispered. Percy walked into the room closely followed by Zeus. The room was huge with blue walls, and a large window with a view of the sky, there was a king sized bed and wooden floors. The room was obviously mad for Percy, there was a soccer/basketball court. Just his room was the size of his mother's entire apartment. There was a closet and another door that he guessed led to a bathroom. And the ceiling was full glass, looking up at the sky.
"What do you think?" Zeus questioned.
"It's… great. Thanks, dad."
Zeus beamed at his son, the way Percy called him "dad" sounded natural as if he had been calling Zeus that his entire life.
"You get some sleep. Hecate and I will help remove the blockade."
Percy laid on his bad, it felt like sleeping on clouds. There was a knock on the door and Hecate stepped in.
"My lord." She greeted, "Perseus." She nodded to him.
She walked towards the bed and smiled sweetly, the next thing percy knew he was fast asleep
