Hey, I apologize for the painfully short chapters, but since I am under severe time constraints I will do my best to make it as long as possible. I thank you once again for reading.
A disclaimer: I don't own PJO or any of the original characters but the plot is mine.
Percy POV:
I have finally got to the cave, the auburn haired girl has followed me all the way back to the cave. I sat down in a corner, with my head resting on my knees. "Will you tell me why you were crying now?" The little girl whispered, she's persistent, I'll give her that much. "Not if I can help it" I whispered back.
She scowled at me but sat at my side. "I'm Artemis" she said tiredly, she rested her head on my shoulder, "Perseus" I said back nonchalantly, gently trying to shrug her head off. "Where did you come from" she asked, her head still on my shoulder. "If I told you would you be quiet?" I asked. She nodded.
"Heaven" I said seriously and closed my eyes.
Time-skip: 1 hour later
Leto Pov :
I got up to see Artemis was sleeping sitting up next to Perseus who seemed deep in thought, even though he was sitting in the corner he stood out. For a five year old immortal he looked surprisingly handsome. He had windswept, messy raven black hair, sea green eyes, tanned skin and a muscular build. I walked over quietly. He didn't seem to notice me until I was three feet away from him, but when he noticed he visibly tensed up. I smiled a reassuring smile at him.
"Hello Perseus," I chided. "How do you know my name?" he demanded. I looked at him oddly. "Artemis told me when she came in carrying you last night." He looked shocked. He looked over to Artemis with a look of gratefulness in his eyes. I smiled at this. He gently lifted Artemis's head and laid her head on the ground, I thought he was leaving, but he did something that surprised me: He bowed to me. My jaw hung open but what he said shocked me even more. "I thank you for your hospitality, please convey this to your daughter too. I have barged into your family and I apologize for that. I will go further for that is my family's last wish. Thank you and goodbye" He said tears in his eyes, he got up and was moving to leave the cave. I grabbed his hand before he could leave and said "Why don't you stay with us, the island can get lonely and at least Artemis will have some company as she grows up" I said hoping he would stay.
"Thank you so much" He said and before I knew it he was hugging me. "I have one last question," I asked in a slightly lower voice. "You want to know about my past" he said surprisingly. I nodded. He closed his eyes and I felt a sea green light enter my head, the light showed me all Perseus memories, from the time he was born to the time he hugged me. As the memories faded away, I realized I was crying as this young godling had been through so much. I hugged him knowing that keeping him here was the right decision.
Third Person POV:
A year later Apollo was born, Perseus had gained all the knowledge Thoth possessed as Perseus was the sole champion of Thoth, he gained minor powers of creation and energy and major powers over destruction, evil, storms, violence, foreigners and being the son of Anukhet he got powers over water. Over the years Apollo and Artemis got very close to Perseus and even gave him a nickname: Percy.
Perseus, Mastered all the weapon known to mankind, from bows (which he was good at as it was his mother's symbol) to swords (which he was naturally good at) to axes. He however had three preferences: the Bow of the Nile (Which he forged in the memory of his mother), The Staff of storms (which he forged in the memory of his father) and The sword of Destruction which only Perseus could yield, Perseus cooled the weapon in his own blood and to make the blade more destructive he carved the hieroglyph "Shutmew" onto the blade. He called the blade "Riptide" as it came in and swept peace away. Just like a riptide. It was rumored to be so destructive that at the very sight of it the opponent of the yielder would be plunged into destruction. Artemis saw Percy as a perfect hunting companion as both of them were amazing with the bow, she knew Perseus was better than her at archery but would not show off. She secretly harbored a massive crush on him. When he walked past, he would make almost any female swoon. Rumors of this immortal spread wide and far.
In the end, this would only lead to his enemy finding him.
Apophis Pov:
So the little godling has been revealed once again I will take what is close to him and make him the perfect tool of destruction.
So that's another chapter done. As I said before, time constraints. I do apologize. I would like to thank everyone for their reviews, I will do a shoutout chapter soon. Thanks to all the who take the time out to read this. You all rock.
Cheers,
SF.
