At Sally's house
It had been 3 to 4 months since Perseus had left to start his journey at camp Jupiter. She knew that her son's journey would be really difficult and he would be underestimated and looked down upon due to his lineage. She hoped that even with all this, her son would be able to prevail. She was suddenly bought out of her musing when there was a knock on her door. She checked her hunting knives, which she always kept with her; you could never be too safe. When she saw who was on the door she bowed down; there stood a woman who looked around 20-22 of age, had beautiful black hair and silver eyes, the Goddess Diana, "Lady Diana" Sally greeted respectfully from her bow,
"Rise Sally, how many times do I have to tell you that you don't need to be formal with me?"
Sally rose from her bow and welcomed Lady Diana into her house. Both of them sat on sofa after Sally offered some tea to Lady Diana. After some time Lady Diana broke the silence
"How has life been Sally after you left the hunters?"
"It has been quite interesting life my Lady"
"Drop the formalities Sally; you know I don't like them.
So anything to tell me" Diana asked with her eyebrow raised and Sally knew she had to tell her everything.
So Sally started telling about how she met Neptune and her time with him. Diana listened closely wanting to know how her uncle Neptune managed to attract Sally one of her most fierce but kind huntress. Sally finished her story by
"My son's name is Perseus Jackson"
"Why did you name him after one of my father's famous Demigod Son?"
"Because he is the only one who had a happy ending and I want that for my son."
"Your son has created quite an impression on the legion and surprisingly the gods to, I for one was surprised hearing his name and the skills he had really reminded me of you."
"Please tell me what did my son do, please Lady Diana." Diana chuckled at the curious and pleading expression of her ex-huntress and one of her close friends .
So she started telling her from Perseus first match in the gladiator tournament to the final match.
By the end of it Sally had an expression that only a mother has when she is proud of something her child did.
After Diana finished the story, she asked
"Why didn't Perseus introduce him as a legacy of Venus?"
"It's because I didn't tell him anything about my past related to the godly world, since even without it his scent was quite strong."
"Your mother won't be too happy about it" Diana said with a chuckle.
"I am not" said a sudden voice which surprised both of them and both the huntresses took a battle stance, but when they saw who was it Sally bowed while Diana relaxed
"Mother" Sally said still in a bow
"Oh none of this Sally" Venus replied pulling her daughter into a hug, which she awkwardly returned, even when you are a hundred years old ex huntress you still can't get used to your mother's affection when said mother is a goddess.
"So what are you doing here, Venus?" Diana asked
"Just came here to meet my daughter and talk about my new grandson. Oh how handsome he is, of course he gets it from me, he definitely will have an interesting love life"
"You will do no such thing mother" Sally said in a low and threatening tone and when Venus flinched slightly, it made Diana proud that her huntress is still there even if she isn't part of the hunt.
"I wanted to ask you one more thing Sally before I leave" interrupted Diana for which Venus was really grateful, because you are her mother or not Sally Jackson is one person you don't want to be against you.
"What is it My Lady" asked Sally sending one last warning glare towards her mother.
"During the final match of the gladiator tournament, when the daughter of Pluto was attacking Perseus from the shadows, he was not able to counter all the attacks for a while then all of a sudden he was able to perfectly anticipate her moves as if he had developed a sixth sense?" Sally and Venus had a look of horror for a moment but it passed just as quickly as it came, but Diana noticed this and narrowed her eyes on both of them.
"What is it that both of you are hiding from me?" asked Diana with narrowed eyes carefully observing the mother and daughter as they both had a silent discussion among themselves.
After a while Sally replied "My Lady, before I tell you, you need to swear on river Styx," when Diana was about to protest, Sally put up her hand in a placating manner and continued "It's not that I don't trust you My Lady, but please swear it.
After a while thinking she swore, "I swear it on the river Styx that whatever Sally tells me I won't tell anyone until and unless Sally tells me to"
After thunder boomed outside, Sally and Venus both visibly relaxed and Sally started talking
"My Lady, you remember that my father had migrated from India to England".
"Ah I remember your father Sally, what a gentleman, knew how to treat a lady right and oh with that handsome face…" she stopped when she noticed Diana's glare and flinched.
After a while Sally continued" well my father was not a normal clear sighted mortal, he was a demigod, a son of lord Kartikeya, Hindu god of war and senses. He is type of how Lady Athena is as war goddesses". At the name of the Greek goddess both the goddess flickered in their Greek forms and changed back. Sally seeing they have changed back into their roman forms continued.
"But unlike demigods of other war gods and goddesses, demigod children of Lord Kartikeya receive a higher form of enhanced senses and if perfected they can defeat whole of armies alone." She finished
After a while Diana asked "do you have it Sally?"
"Yes but to a certain degree, Lady Diana" Sally replied
"And to how much degree Perseus will have it?" Diana asked further
"Last night Lord Kartikeya visited me in a dream and told me that Perseus if he trains hard enough can perfect it" Sally replied
"So do you plan on training him?" Diana inquired
"I can't even if I want to train him, because Perseus had received the whole of power over my grandfather's domain of senses, as I am not capable enough." Diana nodded to that and was about to take a leave when Sally asked "Can you do me a favor My Lady?"
"What is it Sally?"
"I am not capable of training him to his full potential but if all of hunters train him, under your guidance then he can reach his full potential." Silently asking for the favor, after thinking for a while, Diana replied
"Okay, but in addition to training him he also will have to accept the role of my champion, which he will receive after training in which he will have to gain the approval of all of my hunters. And you also have to visit the hunt Sally" Diana said
Sally who had worried expression while Diana was thinking was absolutely delighted not only because Diana had accepted her proposal and will make her son her champion but also upon seeing her former sister in arms. And hugged Diana, Venus who had been listening to the conversion without interrupting (bet you forgot about her) also joined in the hug, really happy for her grandson, also not wanting to miss all the fun.
After Sally and Venus calmed down she asked "So when will be Perseus coming home", seriously sometimes she forget that Sally also was a daughter of Venus.
"He should be coming back around may for his summer vacations" replied Sally
"My lady" stopped Sally when Diana and Venus were about to leave "yes" both replied
"I will be teaching him for a month by myself if it's okay with you" said Sally, Diana gave a nod and both goddesses left
Up On Olympus
Inside The Throne Room
Jupiter sat on his throne thinking about the recently concluded gladiator tournament at Camp Jupiter. He also recently received grave news from Apollo about the Great Prophecy. Apollo told him that the Great Prophecy has also been mentioned in the sibylline books, which meant that it also applied to Romans.
He knew many of Neptune's demigod children have been more powerful than his, but no one had till now threaten his children's accession to being the leader at the camp Jupiter, but this son of Neptune was different, children of Neptune have at most reached the rank of centurion or being a member of senate.
But this Son of Neptune was not only challenging his son's accession to the position of the leader but also challenging the hierarchy system. He knew that the son of Neptune has a good chance, since Romans respect strength and he has strength. Also he knew they are many legionaries and senators in New Rome who oppose the system but till now had no worthy champion to back them up. He had to help his son but he couldn't do it directly as it's against the ancient laws. Then an idea came in his mind, his wife Juno deeply cared for the boy if he talked with her, surely she would have an idea on how to help Jason without breaking the ancient laws. With that thought he left for her palace.
Inside Juno's Palace
Juno was sitting on rocking chair thinking about any way to help her champion. Jason had bought her honor in the legion by proving his worth in the legion as a great warrior. And then comes this sea spawn and defeats him. She had to help him but she couldn't train him because she was one of the peaceful goddess and Jupiter couldn't directly interfere too because of the ancient laws.
Suddenly an idea formed in her head, and she knew this had to be discussed with Jupiter before implementing it. She was about to leave when the man himself came to my palace.
"Juno, I need your help" Jupiter asked with a slight pleading look on a face
"What is it?" asked Juno while keeping a blank face but on the inside she was really happy seeing the pleading look on her husband's face.
"I want to help Jason become stronger, but I have no idea how without directly breaking the ancient law." He said
"I have an idea, we could send Jason to Mars for the summer without anyone's knowledge in the legion and Olympus" Juno told Jupiter her plan
Thinking for a while he finally spoke "Yes we could do this, but what Jason would say to the legion, they won't allow him to go without any reason?"
"I will inform the legion that there are some duties as my champion that he needs to perform during the summer." Juno said after thinking for a while.
So both of them left the palace planning the future training of Jason, not noticing a lady with black hair and grey eyes has been listening to their conversation.
With Minerva
After listening to the conversation between Juno and Jupiter, Minerva got worried that this can ruin the chances of abolishing the hierarchy system in the legion which had grown considerably stronger since Perseus won the gladiator tournament.
She was walking as she was thinking this; she was bought out of her musing when a hand was rested upon her shoulder. She looked up to see Diana and noticed the happy expression on her face. She was about ask her, when Diana beat her to it.
"What got you all worried Minerva?"
So Minerva told her all that she heard and why it worried her, when she finished her explanation, she saw a worried but a determined expression on her face.
"So what got you all happy today?" Minerva asked changing the topic
"I met one of my ex-huntress Sally Jackson today" she told her. Minerva felt as if she had heard this name, then it clicked
"Is she related to Perseus Jackson?" Minerva asked
"Right on spot Minerva, she is his mother" replied Diana
Then she explained her about the visit and how she plans to train him on the request of her ex-huntress. Minerva had a thoughtful expression on her face, after a while she spoke something that shocked Diana
"May I help with his training?" asked Minerva
After seeing her shocked expression, Minerva rolled her eyes in annoyance
"Oh don't act so shocked, if Jason would be getting training from mars and I am sure he will get Bellona to help him, its two major roman war gods training him, I think you could use my help "
"But, you are..." Diana trailed while speaking, but Minerva understood
"I know but my Greek form is powerful enough to train him and agrees with me to train him. Inform me when you start training him" replied Minerva, leaving Diana standing there shocked
In camp Jupiter
Everyone was excited for today's party; it was well known in the legion that the party after the gladiator tournament is one of the best parties that happen in the legion, everyone was getting ready and some looking for dates.
The party started and everyone came, some with dates and some with their friends, but in all this the couple that stood out was of Amenda and Chris, once they entered many of their friends cheered causing their faces to become a deep shade of red.
The party carried on with people enjoying themselves, but Perseus seemed to be quiet uncomfortable, Amenda seeing this excused herself and made her way towards him.
"Perseus you seem to be quite uncomfortable, may I know the reason" asked Amenda softly
"It's just that many girls are staring at me and I am not comfortable with that" he replied blushing red in embarrassment.
Amenda laughed softly "Do you know how many guys would give anything to be in your position?" she replied jokingly, "Come on let me introduce to some of my friends" she finally said taking him with her towards her friends.
Amenda and Perseus soon joined Chris, Rebecca and more of Amanda's friend and began talking with each other; soon they were joined by Leo who was looking for Perseus.
"So you finally had time for your friend Leo?" jokingly asked Perseus
"Sorry man but I got late handling all the ladies" replied Leo in the same manner, while everyone else was shocked how Perseus was joking around as they took him to be a serious guy, but soon got over there shock and started joking around with him and having a good time.
The party was coming to an end and people were starting to move out and returning to their homes, barrack etc.
Amenda seeing the opportunity, took Perseus aside
"Praetor, do you require something" Perseus asked
"Yes, I want you to meet me at my private office tomorrow at 10 am" Amenda replied
"Okay, goodnight Praetor" replied Perseus and left for his barrack
Amenda (next morning)
I was waiting for Chris, Rebecca and Perseus in my office, when there was a knock on my door
"Come in" I said
When the door opened it revealed to be the three people she was waiting for. They exchanged greetings and sat down.
"Perseus, the entire legion knows about your challenge to the hierarchy system", I started but was interrupted by Perseus
"If you called me here to convince me to stop, then with all due respect Praetor it would be useless", after what he said Perseus looked like he expected to be yelled at but all three of us started laughing, after controlling our laughter I started to explain to him
"On the contrary Perseus we would like to help you, you see even before you came there always existed a group of people who challenged the hierarchy system but till now we were without a champion, but now we would like you to become our champion to remove this system." When I finished Perseus had a thinking look, but then he got a smirk
"Okay I am in, so what should be our next step" he asked
"Do you have any plan?" I asked him seeing his smirk and it widened when I asked him about a plan
"War Games" he simply replied and all three of us understood
So planning has started both on Olympus and camp Jupiter, next chapter will have war games and start of both Jason and Percy's training.
Kelorus - thank you I really appreciate your words
MoonBoyTastic- thank you, your review really touched me, I plan on continuing this story but I plan on making percy and Jason good friend or at least warriors in arms, but there always will be a little jealously in Jason
Venompool – thank you for your review, but Percy is serious because he is bought up as a roman and romans are generally serious but he will be laid back with people he trusts. Also I haven't thought of any pairing yet, I will be setting up a poll in future but it will not be a percabeth that is for sure.
Guest- I know the gods are ooc but it's a fanfic so that should explain, also the gods have interfered with demigods lives see the old myths
Next chapter will include some politics with some ocs given by Kelorus and war games, it might also include the start of perseus training with Diana and the hunt. It will also include the views of the people who support the system.
I want to ask, should I include more of the Hindu Gods or just mentions, tell me through review or pm
That's all for time being, merry Christmas to all those who celebrate and a happy new year if I am not able to publish the next chapter within this year
