Percy

Triton was really annoying me so I just raised my hand and he was thrown back into the wall where he fell, unconscious at the sheer power of force that I put on him. For a while there was silence but then the inhabitants of the underwater world stated chanting my name while the medical staff went to go and sort Triton out. I swear I could see Amphitrite giving Poseidon a stash of drachmas, like they had betted on the outcome of the match. I was glad my Dad had won.

Then one citizen stood up and said, "Why, Poseidon, my lord is Perseus not your heir to the throne? It is obvious he is better than Triton." At which Amphitrite shrieked in rage then turned around and started to come towards me like she was going to kill me. She took out her blade and lunged at me trying to stab me while my father watched in horror, but I simply dodged; but she kept on advancing, trying to stab me but eventually she was restrained by the merpeople.

When Amphitrite had been taken off another person stood up and said, "My lord forgive me for saying this but I think you should find a new wife, preferably one who isn't insane, and you also need a new heir, Tritons a bully!"

Poseidon smiled, "I am too happy to deal with this now, though it shall be dealt with later. For now let us join in celebration of my son's return!"

While the party was going on I looked at my phone, yea I know what you're thinking that was really anti-social of you, but I really needed to message my commander, to tell him to ready the troops, and so I wrote him a message. I then checked my messages seeing that one of them was from Callie, the mortal girl, who I had taken a liking to her message said:

Hey Percy,

Thank you so much for the gifts!

I have not had this much fun well, ever! Though I would like you to explain things to me, only things

have been getting weird for me lately, I mean i must be seeing things, monsters, and creatures. I was

wondering if we could meet up, I mean if you want to.

Callie

After reading this, I sighed she was probably a demigod, no wonder she had such a powerful aura, she must be a son or daughter of Zeus or Hades. Still I would meet up with her and arrange for her to be taken to camp. I also needed to have a word with the Gods about claiming their children. I was in the middle of thinking this when my Dad came and sat down beside me bringing some drinks, that you could drink underwater. Though I politely declined as I could not drink or eat god food. He frowned at this but eventually as we talked that frown disappeared and in its place was a smile, it was good to be home.

"So son, you will not believe what happened yesterday!" Dad started and I turned to listen to him, curious.

"Well Zeus got talked down to by some higher being! His face afterwards, was priceless!" And we both started to laugh.

"What else happened in my absence Dad?" I asked.

"Well after you, well, disappeared, everyone was in a real state I mean we gathered to have the burning off your shroud, but everyone was arguing, and yelling at that dreadful girl, Annabeth."

"Well I am over Annabeth completely, yet at first I was in a real state, I couldn't believe what she had done! But really Dad she isn't horrible, she just made bad choices, which I find odd, seeing as she is Athena's daughter!"

"Have you dated anyone besides Annabeth?" He asked and I paused.

"Well I guess you could say that but none of them worked out too well, you see Eliza set me up with some friends of hers, which I find weird because she's always saying "don't waste your time dating people who are not your soul mate!" but for me she just doesn't want me to find my soul mate." I then stopped because my dad was looking at me with a weird expression. I then realised I had said Eliza's name and quickly changed to listing all of my past girlfriends.

"Well there was Delilah, Freya, Tara, Molly and Jess, but none of those lasted more than 1 date so I don't even think you could count them as girlfriends."

After a delightful morning spent with my Dad I left, promising him that I would return tomorrow, he smiled at that and I walked out, so I wouldn't give anything away while Triton was still unconscious in the medical room and Amphitrite was still in chains In the dungeon.

I then appeared on the beach of camp half blood, in which I saw many distinct changes, though I wouldn't stay, for a chat with Chiron or Annabeth, I had to go and find Nico, or Thalia, as they still remained my close cousins. I sensed their presence down from the underworld, so I teleported into Nico's bedroom in Hades' palace, where I saw them watching a film, it looked like gladiator, so I sneaked in and sat on the sofa whilst they were both staring intently at the screen, both of them hadn't aged, only Nico looked about 19. Maybe at that age he had gained immortality.

Suddenly Nico turned to look at me then jumped and pointed at me, Thalia looked to where he was pointed and gasped.

"Percy! Your back." Nico and Thalia both screamed and I just laughed.

"Now Percy, where have you been?" Thalia asked blinking back the tears, she was obviously really thrilled to have me back.

"I was-I was busy." I said, failing to think up a decent excuse in time, well if I really wanted I could just pause time, but I preferred things to be more natural.

"Busy, Percy, busy? For 10 ********* years?" Nico screamed and then I sensed Hades walking up the stairs so I hid under Nico's bed the same with Thalia and put a metal force field around us so Hades wouldn't sense us. As the door of Nico's bedroom opened Thalia was breathing slowly, trying not to be heard, we could see the boots of Hades' shoes, but nothing else.

"Hello, Nico, my son, I would like you to refrain from using such language otherwise Persephone will turn you into a shrub again. So who were you talking to?" Hades asked peering intently around the room.

"Well you know in Gladiator, the bit where he fights that battle with those clueless slaves and they are meant to lose but they end up winning?" Nico said quickly, no doubt he was a really good liar, Hades looked confused and Nico gasped.

"You-you act like you have never seen the film gladiator before!" Nico stated incredulously, he stared wordlessly at his father while his father didn't know what was happening.

"Right that is it! You need to watch it now!" Nico shouted and Thalia and I groaned.

Typical Nico. At that moment Nico rewound the movie to the beginning and started watching it with Hades, completely forgetting about Thalia and I who were still under the bed, Thalia didn't dare try and get Nico's attention as then that would revealed us both, and I couldn't send a mind message or use any of my powers without revealing myself to Thalia, Hades and Nico, and as much as I trusted my cousins, it wasn't the time to give my identity.

After watching the 2 hour long film from under Nico's bed, the film finally finished and Hades got up.

"Wow that was an epic movie! Though I wished they would include us Gods in the movie. That was certainly one of the best films I have ever seen, though it doesn't beat Disney's Hercules, I mean I love the way they portray me in that! I mean that blue flame on top of my head? Genius!" I stifled a laugh, I wanted to signal to Nico to just keep spilling the beans on Hades.

"Well son, I best be off, don't forget to feed Cerberus!" and with that Hades left.

Thalia and I came out from under the bed, and I acted like my muscles were sore from being cramped for so long but of course they weren't. Thalia and I glared at Nico and he shied away from us.

"What the hell was that Nico?" Thalia screamed.

"Well um my Dad hadn't watched gladiator before! Could you blame me, I mean Perce what if you found out that your Dad hadn't seen the little mermaid?"

"I wouldn't really mind to be honest but I guess I do get where you're coming from, but seriously Nico did it have to be now?"

"Sorry guys, how about we watch another film or play on the Wii for a bit? I got Mario kart!" I laughed.

"Nico how old are you?" he blushed.

"Well I gained immortality from my Dad in 2015 so oh forget it! I hate maths!" Nico screamed and Thalia and I laughed.

"Hey guys I should be heading of so…." I started but was cut across abruptly by Thalia.

"What, you can't leave you just got back." She sounded really hurt.

"Yeah we haven't even played Just Dance yet Percy, you can't leave!"

"I am not leaving for very long, I will see you guys soon! Don't worry!" I said but they still wore their worried expressions.

After I said goodbye to Thalia and Nico I told them I would make it back to the mortal world by myself and I manifested a pearl for effect and stamped on it, it transported me to Olympus where I appeared in my cloak and hoodie, ready to find out what the Gods had decided. I entered the throne room to find the Gods all on their thrones, chatting quietly amongst them; however when I walked in the room fell silent.

"Well," I started. "What have you agreed on?" I asked staring at Zeus, my golden eyes lit up for effect and Zeus flinched involuntarily. My Dad was looking really cheerful, and the whole room seemed to be debating the causes of it.

I looked into Aphrodite's thoughts wondering if that was the best of ideas "Oh I wonder why Poseidon is so happy, he has been really down the past decade, his son's disappearance really affected him, also his wife cheated on him, well actually I don't think he knows that, still. Hmm maybe Percy has returned! That is the only explanation, that or he has finally gotten back together with Sally Jackson i have been trying to renew their relationship for a while now, and he still can't see that she is perfect for him! Well better start to concentrate now, this higher being he is so hot-"

"My brothers believe that it is best to give you the rock. As we do not want an enemy such as you, so you can take it, if you beat me in a duel." He said and I started laughing, it was obvious that Zeus though he could beat me, still I wanted the Elixire diamond, and I didn't want a war between us so I said, "Sure Lord Zeus, if you dare. Met me in the amphitheatre in 3 minutes." I grinned wickedly then proceeded down to the amphitheatre; this was going to be fun.

As I walked out I felt every eye on me, the muses were all in the stands along with a lot of minor Gods, Nymphs, the Olympians themselves and funnily enough, demigods as well. I saw a blond lady sitting with the demigods chatting to them, she looked about 26 and it was then I realised who it was; it was Annabeth.

Annabeth was really beautiful, she had her lovely blond hair all cut of so now it was shoulder length, and she wore a nice blue top with jeans and boots, though she had this distant look in her eye that suggested that she had been through some sort of trauma. There was so much pain in her grey, intelligent eyes. My eyes were drawn to the diamond wedding ring she had on her finger and the necklace that I had given her for her 16th birthday, I can't believe she still wore it!

The demigods looked like they were on a trip, they all wore the orange camp half-blood T-shirts and were all watching us; eager for the fight to begin.

At this moment the match began and Zeus, who was in full battle regular, began to circle me cautiously, analysing my strength, I did not need that hesitation, I just lifted my hand and Zeus flew back into the wall. I saw my Dad's eyes widen as he knew that was the move I had performed on Triton. Zeus got up and I saw the demi-gods eager for more of a fight, so what the heck? I advanced on Zeus bringing out another toy: Starchus my favourite spear, I didn't use it often, because it didn't wound anyone higher than a God however I could not use Vapor as that would probably equal in Zeus going to Tatarus for a while, and that wouldn't be good. So I advanced at Zeus quicker than ever and began spearing him so quickly, he tried to counter my attacks, but he was too slow and was not strong enough.

The demigods cheered whilst the Olympians gazed at me and Zeus in horror, I laughed when I heard what Athena was thinking, "So either because we haven't seen Zeus fight in ages or he is just becoming too old or it is because this being is really really powerful and is trained in every combat move, even with a spear."

I then got really bored and threw my spear at Zeus, it hit him in the heart and then everyone gasped, Zeus wore a confused expression mingled with pain and fear. I walked up to him slowly, removed the spear then raised my hand above his heart and closed my eyes. The wound healed itself, then Zeus got up and did something that surprised everyone, he shook my hand but said in a tight voice, "Who are you?"

I did not reply, I just got up and started walking towards the gate, the demigods all rushed up to me, wanting autographs I smiled but told them that wouldn't be possible.

One kid then accidentally tripped over my cloak and riptide fell out, a horrible realisation dawned me as I turned around to pick it up, but Annabeth already had her hands around it.

She looked at the pen for a minute or 2 then uncapped it, Riptide grew into the lethal sword, she stared at the sword, and then looked at me, the Gods had started to gather around as well, sensing the disturbance and the drama.

"Percy?" She asked.
