Hello everyone.
Percy POV
It's been a week since I became an Olympian. Nothing really interesting had happened but to be honest, I was partying for most of the time. Chiron lifted a lot of the rules regarding parties in camp after the battle was finished. He said it was because all demigods deserved to enjoy after the stress we've all been subjected to.
So Charlie, along with the rest of Hephaestus cabin, created their signature magical fireworks enchanted to take the forms of historic battles before shimmering away. This time, there were a couple of new additions. One was the demigods taking a stand at the base of the Empire State Building and another was me and Annabeth in the throne room fighting Kronos. While both of us started blushing a little, we couldn't help but marvel at the amount of detail present in the display. That was the night after I became a god.
The next day, all of us went back to Olympus where there was a party. Every time a new god gets his/her domains, there is a party. Except since this was a new Olympian, the party was much grander. The best types of wine and vodka were there, the muses were singing along with Apollo in a concert, Dionysus created a huge dance floor, I with my dad's help created an Olympian size swimming pool to the side with fresh water.
Only negative was that I wasn't allowed to drink the alcohol since it would react badly with the way my blood was transforming into Ichor now leaving me sick. So I got to watch all my friends drink in celebration while I couldn't.
That night, after transporting everyone back to camp, I didn't feel sleepy at all.
"Chiron, I noticed yesterday and today, how come I don't get sleepy anymore" I asked having only slept for 1 hour last night
"Gods only need about 5 - 6 hours of sleep per week. Since you became a god recently, you would need one or two hours per day. Within a month, it will reduce even further."
Thinking how much about my powers I could learn with the extra time I had, I got really excited and left after saying goodbye to Chiron.
Since that day, I enjoy till 10 with my friends, sleep for an hour till 11 and then started to practice my powers till 8 in the morning. I learned my powers of water just increased with me having more control. I realised I could turn parts of myself into pure water but it drained a lot of my energy. Water also near instantly healed me now. I could slow down time to such an extent that it would seem that it stopped. Only problem was learning it was a lot harder than my water powers. My dad explained that it was because I had my water powers since I was born but only recently got my time powers. Swordsmanship, I didn't notice any major difference in my powers but I decided I would explore more with it later.
Last night marked the end of celebrations in Camp Half-Blood. After everyone went to sleep, I went outside and got in my car. Starting it up, I opened up the glovebox as my dad told me the last time I talked to him. There was a file detailing the upgrades and blessings given to my car.
It was blessed to never crash and avoid all traffic around it, could convert into a boat or submarine by pressing the blue and green buttons on the dashboard respectively. It was blessed by Hermes such that it could never be stolen by anyone no matter where I leave it. I could send it back to it's parking space by pressing one button on the key courtesy of Hephaestus. My dad also blessed it to never be damaged by water even if it was in it's car form. There was a compartment which can hold my weapon in it. The final feature was one that combined the power of the three gods such that it could sense monsters within a 1 mile radius. That final feature only worked in it's car form.
I drove my car over to Empire State Building and parked it. Using my personal key I had for the elevator as an Olympian, I entered the Olympian Throne Room. Only Hephaestus was currently present inside. I was about to collect my symbol of Power from him but we were both waiting for Uncle Zeus and my dad to show up. Five minutes later, they both walked in and sat on their thrones. I was still leaning on a column in the room.
"Percy, your new throne has been constructed. It shall be placed to the direct right of Poseidon's throne" Zeus said as a new throne rose from the ground and settled in said place.
It was a black leather throne in the form of La-Z-Boy. There was a slot in the side of it to keep my sword, a large bluish hourglass on the back which was because I was the god of time and blue because of my domain of tides. The hourglass was being held up by a black pegasus in it's front two legs and a glowing blue sword in the back two legs.
I went and sat in throne causing a huge rush of power to flow through me.
"I'm assuming you like it based on the smile on your face. Also, your symbol of Power shall be given to you today. Hephaestus, bring in Percy's weapon"
Hephaestus picked up a large cover next to him and we all shrunk down to human size and gathered in the middle of the throne room. He uncovered the weapon and handed it to me as a surge similar to the one I felt couple minutes ago surge through me again. It was a three foot long Greek style sword the same as Riptide. The name Anaklusmos was still plastered on the side. But, the similarities stopped there.
"Your sword is the best work I made. It is made of a combination of Celestial Bronze, Imperial Gold and a metal which I recently found. I have yet to name. It looks silver except it is stronger than both the previous metals and seems to absorb energy and can redirect it into a focused blast. The three metals have been melted in a single furnace and melded together. It can also transform into any form of weapon you choose. But the main form will always be the sword. Because of the unnamed metal, when you use your powers, my guess is that it will glow in a colour corresponding to the power used. Gold for time, blue for tides and red for swordsmanship."
After that, we all connected our hands together with me holding my sword and permanently bound it to myself by connecting it to the hearth. Hephaestus because he designed it, Zeus as the King of Gods and Poseidon as my dad. Since two of the big three were powering the ritual, I was told no one except me could lift and wield the weapon.
"Why don't you test if the power and glow thing actually works" my dad said.
I slowed down time outside the gods and the sword actually glowed gold. My dad summoned a wave of water and tossed it at me. Out of instinct I stopped it in mid air with my water powers making the sword glow blue.
"I think it does, but are the powers with swordsmanship?"
"As far as I know, you are now a master in every single form of sword fighting invented though only their proper styles. You still have to use them seperately to create your own style. You can also be defeated or at least challenged by another who is a master of the sword for a particular style. So try your chosen style and spar with me" my dad explained.
I kept Riptide in sword form and charged him slashing at his legs to test him. He blocked almost instantly with his sword which was actually just trident in sword form. We fought for couple more minutes after which I started to notice the weaknesses in his technique of sword fighting. Utilising it, I feinted a low blow at his legs but jumped up at the same time levelling my weapon at his neck. My sword was glowing red when I saw his weakness.
"I can apparently see the weakness of any person fighting with a sword if I am against them or concentrating on them. And also Hephaestus' hypothesis about the glow relating to the power is also proved correct" I stated.
"Percy, now you have received everything a new god gets. Your Palace is ready for you based on Annabeth's design. You can flash directly to it by thinking about palace. We have also informed the Romans about you. Do you remember that you have to meet them in 4 days?"
"Yes Uncle, I remember"
"Good, then everyone is dismissed." Zeus stated as all of us flashed out to our respective palaces. I was at the doors of my palace. It was a three story tall mansion spread over an acre of land. The doors to the palace could only be opened by me and those I give permission to with the door handle in the shape of Blackjack's wing. Right inside the door, there were stables with Blackjack currently sitting inside them. There were 4 other stalls currently empty. Blackjack's "stall" was the size of a wealthy mortal's master bedroom. There was 7 rooms and a game room. The game room had a 80" TV and an Xbox One stationed beneath it with every game compatible with it placed in stands positioned on either side of it. There were also Blu-ray versions of all my favourite movies placed on the left side stand. The master bedroom was on the first floor with a king sized bed. The wardrobe was empty as I would need to fill it. There was a swimming pool with a filtration system built it on the second floor. The third floor was just a huge blank area for training or anything I would like to do. After checking out the rest of my palace, I realised most of it was in gold, green or blue colour.
Going to my bedroom, I laid down on my bed which had to be most comfortable thing I ever laid on. Thinking about my meeting with the Romans, I drifted off to sleep
A/N:The no one can lift thing is from Thor and Marvel. Romans will be in next chapter, I thought this would be over very fast but it was longer than I expected so Romans is delayed. It will be out within a week. Read and Review guys
