Zeus frowned at me. I can't even explain how much I wanted to say.
"Don't frown, you`ll get wrinkles…"
I'm sure I would taste his bolt if I did. So I kept my mouth shut. Good choice on my part. Well, it would be… If all of the gods couldn't read my thoughts.
Apollo and Hermes bust out laughing and slapped me on my back so hard I think I'll get bruises. I mean geez talk about Percy abuse.
"Ow..." I mumbled and rubbed my now sore back. But of course that made them laugh harder.
I cautiously laughed along with them though I didn't really see what was funny.
My dad was smiling earning himself a glare from his dear brother, Zeus.
Artemis and Athena were shaking their heads as If they expected nothing more.
Aphrodite and Ares… well they were um, you know… making out. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't even know what was going on around them.
Zeus loudly cleared his throat, getting all eyes on him. Apart from Apollo and Hermes who were too busy with their laughing fit to realise or care what's going on.
At the same time me and Artemis kicked Apollo to gain his attention.
He glared at us, eyes blazing as they switched between us as if he didn't know who to look at. And they call me an idiot…
His head snapped to me and he glared. Artemis smirked as did Hermes and a few other Olympians.
"As I was saying" Zeus boomed "We are here today to reward the demi-gods as to which it would be hard to-"
"Impossible" I mutter under my breath.
"Defeat the titans" He finished his sentence, obviously not happy with me.
And so he rewarded each of my friends in turn. Tyson, Grover (who proceeded to faint after getting his award. Ladies and gentlemen… the new lord of the wild.)
Nico got a weapon which turned into anything… pretty cool if I could say so myself.
"Annabeth Chase, my own daughter" Called Athena, eyes lit up with pride. Annabeth took shaky but purposeful steps towards her mother, kneeled in front of her mother before sending me a small smile and kneeling by Zeus`s feet.
"I have been informed that you study architecture, is this correct?"
She nodded.
"Yes Lord Zeus" She said seriously.
"We, the gods, would like to offer you the place of official architect of Olympus" I saw her whole body tense up in what I hope is excitement. "Do you accept?"
She nodded slowly.
"Y-yes"
Zeus`s face didn't change the whole time. Like he expected no less, typical…
"Rise, Annabeth Chase, Architect of Olympus" She did and hastily returned to her place by Chiron. I flashed her a grin and a double thumbs up. She grinned back hastily.
"What about Percy?" A camper shouted out at Zeus.
"I really don't think that's important" I said sheepishly.
A few of Aphrodite's daughters swooned and gave me the lovesick eyes .Oh hell. Or… underworld.
What's wrong with them. Annabeth, Nico and Thalia rolled their eyes and I smirked at them.
Typical isn't it, they wouldn't touch me with a six feet pole before all of this. I sent the little message to them and watched as they blinked and looked at me with astonished eyes. I winked at them and put some sunglasses on. Because I'm awesome like that.
Wow… I sound like Apollo.
A few more campers chimed in with their asset and soon all of them were shouting it.
Zeus thought for a moment before calling Athena and Dad over to him. They had a quick talk. Athena at first seemed to protest before sighing and giving her approval. My father glanced at he for a while before nodding. Zeus called me over and my dad started to explain.
"Son, you know Dionysus, he made his wife, who was once mortal, immortal once he became a god then married her." I nodded, motioning for him to go on even though I didn't quite know what was going on. "Well, we are giving you an offer. You seem to be close to Athena's daughter. We are offering you to make her your immortal wife, both Athena and I have approved. But, it is up to you to decide if this happens. Even if you decline today the offer still stands. You must choose, Perseus "
I looked to Athena, to dad and back again. Expecting them to shout out `Psyche!` and roll on the floor laughing like Apollo and Hermes did earlier. But they didn't.
I looked at Annabeth for what seemed like forever before turning back to them.
"Your serious?" They each nodded stiffly. I looked back to her beautiful face. I couldn't just make this big decision for her. It wasn't right.
"Can I speak to her? Tell her what's going on? Let her make this decision for herself? I'm fine with it, I wouldn't mind, like at all. But she needs to make her decision" I had to take a deep breath after all that.
"Very well" Zeus said with a sigh, "Inform us when you are make your decision"
I took a deep breath.
"Yes sir" I said.
I stride over to where the the campers were and smiled at Chiron.
"Hey there Chiron" I said
"Lord Perseus" He nodded respectfully.
"Aw, what ever happened to Percy?"
Chiron opened his mouth to answer but Thalia beat him to it.
"You became a god" Yep, still the same Thalia. I grinned at her and I swear I saw her blush a bit.
"Your blushing!" I grinned wider. She frowned at me and it vanished as quickly as it came.
"Am not" She shouted. Nico smirked and carried on annoying her for me.
"You so were" She muttered a quick shut up and smacked him upside the head.
"As I was saying… Chiron could I please borrow Annabeth?" I didn't even wait for him to answer I just exclaimed a thank you before grabbing her hand and dragging her to the beach to our place.
