PERCY POV

I woke up early the next morning, only to find several fish swimming around me, looking at me with excitement or confusion.

"Son of Lord Poseidon?" They questioned.

"Um...yes?"

They became ecstatic and swam around me at a faster speed, I noticed my shirt had disappeared, and my shoes were also gone. I shrugged and got up and heard several nervous giggles from the door. I looked up and saw several mermaids glancing at me from the door, they noticed the massive black scar from Erebus' spear and averted their eyes.

I frowned, "Is it possible to take a shower, or does me being in he water at all times mean I am always clean?" I asked materializing a teal shirt the color of the ocean.

"Um well the latter, um...Prince-"

"Percy, I don't like being called Perseus, also no formal titles, just Percy." I said grinning.

They flushed and nodded before leaving. I materialized some black jeans and black combat boots, I tied the laces and materialized a black cloak, which I wrapped around my shoulders. I walked into the throne room and noticed a very pregnant Amphitrite and Poseidon looking at me as I approached. Amphitrite was looking with a slightly cold and slightly curious expression.

I bowed formally to her, "Lady Amphitrite," then I turned to dad, "Dad."

She nodded. Dad smiled and patted me on the shoulder. Amphitrite rubbed her stomach and smiled, "He's moving." she said looking at Dad who beamed at her.

"What are you naming him?" I asked, honestly curious, since I didn't know whether or not my presence here would affect what he would be called.

"Triton." She said.

"He is your heir, right?" I said to dad with a wide smile, he nodded.

My smile became even wider and Amphitrite gave me a slightly confused smile, "You don't want to be the prince?" She asked.

I laughed, "It's not that, I don't think power suits me really well, I would have no idea how to do things, heh, I would probably drive you all up the wall."

She nodded and looked at her growing child, "Why are you so happy?"

"I get a little brother."

"B-but he-"

"I know, he isn't a real brother, but I am hoping that maybe we can be good friends, like real brothers should be. I know you probably don't like or hate me seeing as I am your husband's bastard (Poseidon flinched at how casually I said that), but I just want the chance to try to get into your good graces."

She nodded a bit flabbergasted, but I simply grinned, "You have to tell me when he is born, got it?" I said sternly to dad.

"You really matured from your time in the stars, Percy." He said chuckling.

"Really?" I said honestly surprised, "huh."

"The solstice is today and I was hoping, that you would like to be there with me." Asked Dad.

"Sure, it'd be pretty cool to see Olympus in full swing during the old times." I said grinning.

He put his hand on my shoulder and flashed us to Olympus. I looked around and for some reason it was more amazing seeing Olympus as a part of the Original landscape than it floating over the Empire State Building. Clouds obscured the surrounding mountains and Olympus was crowded as citizens, nymphs, and godlings made their way across the streets. I got many flirtatious glances but smiled back politely.

Poseidon chuckled and patted me on the back, "Quite the ladies man are we?"

"Oh quiet!" I mumbled my face red.

"Come on Percy, Airhead will start another mini-drama if I am late again." He said glancing at the large room I recognized as the throne room in the distance. I rolled my eyes, but grinned all the same.

I wanted to wait outside but he forced me inside, much to many of the god's and goddess' shock.

(A/N okay I know that if I were to follow the timeline Dionysus wouldn't be here as a God and Selene and Helios would be here, not Artemis and Apollo. In spite of this, I have decided to let Dionysus, Artemis, and Apollo be on the council as well as Selene and Helios. I think Aphrodite was already in the council but then again I am not sure, so please try to tolerate me as I alter the past for plot [and just so you know, I feel terrible about doing this to all of you and you have my full permission and blessing to flame me for this and drop the story]

-Y.A.R.N.)

I walked first to Zeus and kneeled before repeating the action to all the gods. when I was finally done, I got up and stood next to my dad's throne; he conjured a miniature throne made for me out of the floor. I sat down and watched as my dad assumed his 20 foot form and sat down. The gods were looking at me with a mix of emotions.

Artemis was looking at me with a confused expression. Selene's expression was slightly more open. Helios and Apollo were giving me matching grins, to which I smiled back enthusiastically. Hermes smiled kindly and I grinned back, Hephaestus was regarding me with a utterly curious expression, to which I gave a nervous grin, Hera was looking like I was a powerful piece in a game of chess, in response I shivered involuntarily. Demeter pretty much ignored me, so I didn't have to worry too much about her. Dionysus was drinking wine and just giving me a calculating look, I simply shared a brief nod with him. Athena was looking at me disdainfully, and I closed my eyes and dipped my head in a small bow of acknowledgement, to which she looked shocked. Ares was looking at me with some excitement while he cleaned a knife in his hands, I looked back with a completely and totally blank expression. Aphrodite was looking at me in a very uncomfortable way which made me fidget and shift, much to Selene's and Artemis' obvious delight and amusement. Zeus and Hades were both giving me matching looks of surprise and slight approval and disapproval.

After the minute of shock had ended, Zeus raised his master bolt and stroked his fingers across it, "Brother, what is that...boy?"

Dad's eyes narrowed but I tapped his shoulder with a water hand and shook my head. Everybody gasped as they saw.

Poseidon sighed and said, "He is my son, Perseus Jackson."

"Just call me Percy, you know if it would be okay with you all." I said openly.

"You dare have a child!" Roared Zeus, "Not to mention you neglected to tell us until now? He is already in his twenties!"

"That hardly seems fair considering you have your own son, Zeus." I said evenly, "He is only 18 or 19 himself, and frankly he could me stronger than me."

My dad smirked, knowing how unlikely that was.

The other god began to mutter as I talked, Apollo and Helios, both said, "I kinda like him. Hey! Stop...*matching sigh and glare*"

I burst out laughing, and Artemis and Selene started laughing with me along with everyone else in the room.

"S-sorry..." I managed through my chuckles, "That was too funny."

"He seems rather respectful for a young man that powerful." stated Hades thoughtfully.

"Thank you, I try my best." I said a bit impishly.

Hermes chimed in, "Yeah, okay, this kid is good in my book. He seems nice enough."

I grinned at him.

"He is rather handsome." purred Aphrodite, looking me over.

"Um, I hope you don't mind," I said earnestly, "but could you stop eye-raping me, it is extremely uncomfortable."

Poseidon, Artemis, Hermes, Helios, Apollo, and Selene began laughing so hard, Dad accidentally slammed his trident into the floor causing a mini-earthquake. Everybody groaned as the room shook. Poseidon straightened out eventually and managed to restrain himself to a few coughs and strangled chuckles. Hades was fighting and all out smile, and Zeus had bitten his knuckle, to keep from chuckling. Hera was fighting an all out grin, while Hephaestus was leaning on his throne's armrest, gripping his aching sides. Aphrodite simply blushed furiously and lowered her gaze to the floor.

"Sorry," I was but I knew better than to say sorry outright, "but I prefer not to be feeling like I am being violated by being stared at."

Another round of snickers broke out. Zeus, though knew we needed to get down to business and slammed his master bolt into the floor. He began discussing his demigod son named Perseus, and everybody stared at me and him confused, until I explained that I was a different Perseus. I rested my cheek on my hand and tuned out the rest of the voices speaking in turn and closed my eyes. I internally groaned as Zeus rambled on and on. It was even worse than school lectures, and at let at those I could doodle in my math notebook or something. I began to doze off and soon I felt a small tap on my shoulder. I turned and saw my dad smiling.

"The meeting has been adjourned, time to go." He said as I stretched and yawned.

I nodded and leapt of the seat which melted away into the floor.

"You get yelled at for me?" I asked curious.

"Nah you left a rather good impression on the Olympians, even Ol' Deathie thinks your worth keeping around." Dad chuckled.

As we walked out of the Throne Room, Apollo slung his arm around me, "Hello Percy! Want to hang out?"

"I would but I have some business to take care of, alright? Maybe next time." I said patting his shoulder.

"Fine, but I am going to hold you to that, also you may want to stick close to your dad, Aphrodite, and Ares, seemed determined to meet you." He said.

"I think I would take Ares over Aphrodite any day." I said shivering.

Apollo laughed and smacked my on the back, "Percy, I think you and I are going to be great friends."

I smiled, "I'd be lucky to have that happen."

He smiled and flashed away. Dad and I walked until I sensed a hand about to touch my shoulder, I whirled and leaped away. I was about to summoned Atman when I realized it was just Aphrodite. I groaned unhappily. My dad rolled his eyes.

"Well, don't you have good reflexes?" She said smiling.

"Sure, do you need something?" I replied.

"Just wondering if you were free."

"Nope, busy, busy, busy. Dad can attest to that." I replied curtly, "I actually have to go and see something so if you wouldn't mind, I need to go."

"Fine." She pouted, "Just keep in mind if you need someone to talk to, I am here."

'No matter how much I try to forget, I still remember.' I thought, "Rrright..."

My dad patted me on my shoulder and I was flashed away in a whoosh of sea green.
