A/N Hello and Happy Birthday!
I hope it is someone's birthday when they read that
Anyway, I am sorry for the wait. I have been busy traveling and working. I promise to finish this story, though I am thinking of writing my own book series.
Please continue to review as it makes me smile whenever someone PM's me or writes a comment.
Regarding a few of the reviews
TheMag1c1an: I know that, but I wanted to make him have wings, and I thought that was a cool and original idea with it.
Draconic King: I said I needed people, and you are one of the few that actually gave me one, so thank you for that.
Not sure if I need to keep saying this, but I am not Mr. Riordon.
After I heard the beast speak, I reached for my sword, turning slowly. But before I could draw it, I felt the power each of them were emitting causing me to stop. The power I felt from them made me want to bow before them and grovel for my life. The one on the right felt vaguely familiar while the one on the left I could tell was of the sea, but much older then him.
No...
I know who these people are. I finish turning slowing and ready to defend against a helpless fight. "Tartarus and Pontus here to fight?" I ask with almost an eagerness to it. Was I ready to die? I have nothing left to live for. Then I looked over and saw my little sister. I will not let somebody hurt another girl in my family. I was helpless against Gabe, but I will not stand by so these two can hurt them. Not without at least giving it my all. I get into a ready stance and will at least give them enough time to escape before I fall.
The one on the left, Tartarus, started laughing while the other one, Pontus, handed him a pouch.
"I told you that he would be willing to fight us to let them try to escape" Tartarus spoke as he finished laughing. "No boy, we are not here to kill you or your family over there." He said as he pointed towards Hebe and my sister.
Just then Pontus piped in "No, we want to help you. We know what you have been through with everything and everyone and want to help you with your new 'situation'. We are well aware of what happened between you and him, so we offer you this," Pontus paused" our blessings."he ended.
I stared at them for a few minutes while I processed what he just said. They are offering to both bless me to help me? What if it is a trick? What if they just want to kill me? No if they wanted to kill me, I'd be dead already. "What's the catch?" I questioned.
"No catch" Tartarus stated, "We just know of something very, very bad coming and we want the best shot for Olympus to stay in power. I want to rewrite what people think of me. Not someone who is nothing but evil, but a good deity that people can hang out with on the weekends. If you chose to accept both the blessings, then you will have the power of all the Olympian council combined. You can have a few minutes to think if you need." He started with an aggressive tone, only to change to a sad tone, to finally land on a hopeful tone.
I thought about the offer. I could be strong enough to never let those I care about fall to harm. I could protect the hunt easier. But more importantly I could protect my sister. I could also take revenge on the camp. I mean, who could stop me? If I could take on the entire counsel in a fight, what would puny demigods be to me? I glanced over at Hebe who is holding my sister and playing with her. She looked up and saw me staring at her. She smiled at me. I knew what I had to do.
"Lord Tartarus, Lord Pontus, I will accept your offer on 3 conditions. The first bering that you remove the marriage of Heracles and Hebe, so Hebe does not have to be married to such a monster and can pursue a relationship if she so chooses. Secondly, you will see to it that my mother and Paul end up in the Isle of the Bliss, they deserve it. And finally, only one of you bless me, the other blesses my sister. Those are my conditions. Take them or leave them." I finished my conditions to the two immortal beings only to be slapped.
"Perseus Jackson! You are refusing a gift from the Primordials and on my account as well. I will not have it. You are to selfless and need to think of your own wants and desires sometimes. You need to ta-" Hebe never finished before Tartarus cut her off.
"We accept, but only if you will follow our 3 conditions. I will bless you while Pontus blesses your sister. The first condition is that you cannot try to kill yourself anymore. You are needed for the next war. Second, you have to let a goddess adopt you to help with the grieve of the passing of your mortal mother. And finally, you become my son." Tartarus ended with a smirk.
I'd like to say I thought about the offer for a few minutes, but in all honesty, once he mentioned that I am needed in a future war, I made up my mind immediately.
"I accept you offer, dad."
3rd Person
After Percy spoke he got hit by a beam of dark energy. While he got hit with that, his sister got hit by a wave of power herself, though hers was a shade of murky blue. Once the light from the two died down, Pontus stepped forward.
"All hail Jackie, daughter of the sea, Pontus. You will be as strong as a minor Olympian. That would be the lower six, she will also be able to beat Poseidon in a fight because her control is from the oldest sea, not some upstart."
Percy walked over to her to mock bow and noticed some physical changes now. She had bright blonde hair, like the color of the reflection of the sun, which looked like it flows like waves and her eyes were a rich blue like a beautiful day at the beach. The sclera part of the eyes looked as if made of foam from waves. And she was so tan, Apollo would be jealous.
Then Tartarus spoke. "All hail Perseus, son of the pit, Tartarus. You are as strong as the three strongest Olympians with an edge on Hades for the same reason as your sisters. You will always be welcomed in the Pit as it is your home and you are its heir should anything happen to me. Now come give me a hug before we leave."
And so they hugged. After the first generation gods left Percy ran to a mirror. The first thing we noticed was how pale he was. Now I know what you are thinking, how can he be as pale as Hades, but let me tell you, he is a lot paler then him. Then he moved to the his eyes. They were orange and brown. Like a fire. I wonder which goddess adopted me he mused silently. But what caught him the most was his hair. His hair was always dark, but now it was pitch black. It looked very strange with the hair to skin color scheme, but the best part was that he and his sister were complete opposites. He laughed to himself as he quietly teleported back to the hunt.
