Chapter 7: Trilingual

Hermès escorted his little half-brother to the library and couldn't help but marvel at how much he looked like Zeus. His sharp features and pale-ish skin, even the power radiated from the young demigod was comparable to Zeus, however, he also looked like Poseidon and Sally. Yes, Zeus is obviously prominent in his DNA, however, Sally and Poseidon can be easily be seen in the youngling.

"I remember when you were little, Perseus."

"Hm?" Confusion flashed across the teen face

"We used to do all sorts of things together. We would prank Athena, and ruin Aphrodite's hair and makeup and hid Hephaestus's things. Ohh… the good ol' days."

"I'm pretty sure, we also got in trouble with Zeus, multiple times."

"Father has always been a party pooper, ever since I stole Apollo's cows."

They arrived at the library and kept talking until a very unhappy Athena shushed them.

"What took you so long?" She Asked Perseus.

"I was eating."

"Gods, you take forever to eat. Now come on we have to teach you quickly, the crowning is tomorrow after all."

"Yes, my dear. Let's get to it." Hera appeared from behind a bookshelf.

"Bye, Hermès." Waved the son of Zeus.

Hermes walked out and left the kid to suffer the wrath of Hera and Athena.

"Here, first things first, read this." Athena handed him Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare.

"But I have dyslexia!"

"Yes, maybe it would be faster if we read it to him." Added Hera

"But-" Athena tried.

"Athena, we have a deadline. Which is tomorrow."

"Fine. Queen Hera."

They took turns to read out to Perseus, who was having a hard time concentrating.

When they were done Percy asked, "So do I have to go all Shakespeare?"

"No, you do not, however, there are some things that are not allowed." Started Hera.

"Like cool, awesome, dude, bro, man, abbreviations like LOL or ASAP, contraction may be used but not too often, contractions are like don't, won't, didn't. NO SWEARING. I'm serious, Percy. And then… you may call higher beings M'Lord, M'Lady or king and queen or sir and miss. You may speak however you wish to in GREEK. You may swear and use slang but it has to be in Greek." Finished Athena.

"Um, I can't speak fluent Greek," confessed Percy

"We will be teaching you Greek as well as the language as the gods."

Percy wanted to argue that you can't learn TWO languages in a day, but he decided against it. And then they began with the learning.

The next day

Percy had not slept that night, instead, he was in the library with Athena and Hera, learning Greek and the language of the gods.

It was surprisingly easy for the savior of Olympus, maybe it was his 'dyslexia'. But by the next morning, he knew how to speak both languages fluently.

"Mama, boró na stamatíso na doulévo tóra kai a páro proinó?"(mom, can I stop working now and go have breakfast.) Pleaded Perseus with his best puppy dog eyes.

"Nai, o gios mou, échete kánei kalá kai eímai polý perífanos Gia esás, ton prínkipa you"(yes, my son, you have done well and I am very proud of you.) Hera smiled

Percy walked out of the library before anyone could change their mind.

As Percy was walking down the stairs to the dining 'room' he saw his father talking to a servant. They locked eyes and Percy smiled before a nymph came to take his breakfast order.

"My prince, what shall you wish to eat today?"

"Can I have some blueberry pancakes, Umm, what's your name again?"

The nymph looked stunned for a second before answering, "Crystal, my name is Crystal."

"Well, nice to meet you, Crystal." Crystal blushed before gaining her composure. "I shall bring you your meal, M'Lord." She ran off.

"Now the last time I checked you had a girlfriend."

Percy turned to Zeus. "I do, but what does that have to do with anything?"

"Well, you can't just go around flirting with every nymph you meet."

"Father, is it so uncommon for people to introduce themselves to others that it is now considered flirting?"

"We do not need to introduce ourselves, everyone knows who we are."

"Well, you do not know everyone else's names and the servants are people- Well nymphs- too, I suggest you try being friendly to them"

"Prince, Perseus. Your breakfast is ready." Someone called from the distance.

Percy scowled at the term 'prince'

Zeus followed Percy to the dining table.

"You will have to get used to people calling you that, it will happen a lot more often when you are crowned tonight."

"I know, dad."

Percy ate his breakfast.
