A/N (I recommend reading this): I'm going to MAKE THIS CLEAR. Just like I mention on my bio page about every other fanfiction I done: I DON'T OWN THE PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIAN SERIES OR IT'S CHARACTERS as the rights goes to Rick Rioran. Also I suggest you guys start paying attention to the Author notes and my warnings that I left on EVERY chapter of EVERY story.
Sorry if this chapter is too much like the book.
Due to the limited number of characters posted, I'm forced to post only the names of the characters telling their tales in this story. When I get to the House of Hades and Blood of Olympus, I'll list off the first four characters listed in the order they tell their tales. I'll post the pairings if the two of the four characters listed are a pair. Other than that, the Pairings stay the same for this story.
Jason x Piper
Percy x Annabeth
Frank x Hazel
Leo X Calypso
If you haven't figured it out, each of the members of the Prophecy of Seven practically has a position. Keep in mind in the original series Juno started this when she told Percy he was the glue that holds the group together, so I thought to give the rest a title. But no matter what title they have they still depend on each other. Titles will be added for some as the series continue
Jason: Leader of the Group
Piper: Peacekeeper
Leo: Mechanic, Admiral, and Seventh Wheel (by Nemesis)
Percy: Glue that holds everyone together
Hazel: Mist Manipulator
Frank: Muscles and Praetor
Annabeth: Battle Strategist and Consultant
Lastly I want to make clear that once 'The Tales of the Heroes of Olympus' is done I won't start immediately on 'The tales of...' version of the Trials of Apollo until that part of the Percy Jackson series is done. Just as I waited for the end of the Blood of Olympus to start 'The Tales of...' series. By waiting until that series ends, it might help me come up with something to add to it.
Warning: Certain ancient Greek names matches words use of foul language but no foul language was intentionally used. Also I dropped the '& the Olympians' in 'The Tales of the Son of Poseidon & the Olympians' as well as replaced the '&' with ':' in the short stories of that part of the series. So if you haven't read them yet read before reading this story as stuff that happened in them will be mentioned:
The Tales of the Son of Poseidon: the Early Adventures
The Tales of the Son of Poseidon: The Lightning Thief
The Tales of the Son of Poseidon: The Sea of Monsters
The Tales of the Son of Poseidon: The Titan's Curse
The Tales of the Son of Poseidon: The Magical Labyrinth
The Tales of the Son of Poseidon: the Stolen Chariot
The Tales of the Son of Poseidon: the Sword of Hades
The Tales of the Son of Poseidon: the Bronze Dragon
The Tales of the Son of Poseidon: The Last Olympian
The Tales of the Son of Poseidon: the Staff of Hermes
The Tales of the Heroes of Olympus: The Lost Hero
The Tales of the Heroes of Olympus: The Quest for Buford
The Tales of the Heroes of Olympus: The Son of Neptune
The Tales of the Heroes of Olympus: The Mark of Athena
The Tales of the Heroes of Olympus: The House of Hades
Lastly, any one who wants to do a Demigods and Olympian reads story using 'The Tales of the Son of Poseidon' is allowed as long as you inform me about it.
Full Summary of this chapter: With Reyna Calypso Nico and Hedge taking the Athena's Parthenos back to camp half-blood and the Argo II racing to Athens for the battle against the giants, its a race against time to save the world and both camps. The only problem is that Gaea is trying everything in her power to stop the one thing that could stop her plans and get the blood of a male and female demigod she needs to wake up. Told in the tales of Nico, Reyna, Piper, Leo, and Jason
Jason's POV Part VIII
"I never did like poison." Kymopoleia waved her hand and the murky clouds dissipated. "It's a nasty habit. Secondhand poison can kill someone, you know."
I wasn't too fond of firsthand poison either, but I decided not to mention that. The oxygen was getting thin and I doubt our battle with Polybotes helped.
Kymopoleia turned to us. "I did my part, now you two must do your part. I expect a shrine in both camps."
"We will keep our end of the deal. Once we win this war and the rivalry between Greeks and Romans is over, it should be easy convincing the Roman Engineers and the campers from Athena Cabin to work together in building your shrine," I said.
"Who knows, with the speed the Roman Engineers build with Athena Cabin's designs, we probably build cabins, temples, shrines and monuments for all the Greek and Roman gods faster and we'll make sure each and every one gets scrapings of food in camp," Percy said, "Maybe even for those that already faded like Helios, Silene, and Pan. I mean, just because they faded, doesn't mean we should forget them, right?"
"Right," I agreed, "And you'll be the first on the list, Kymopoleia… the storm goddess who beheaded a giant and saved our quest."
Kymopoleia stroked her jellyfish hair. "That will do nicely." She turned to Percy. "I'll be watching your progress Perseus Jackson. Be careful though. The Mark of Achilles only makes your skin invulnerable, not your insides. I don't know the full details but I'm certain Gaea has plans to make you bleed on her earth, even without your Achilles Heel."
"Thanks for the warning," Percy responded. "But even with my personal loyalty or not, I'll take my risk at the Acropolis with my friends."
Kymopoleia smiled for the first time since we seen. "I can see why you're father's favorite child, Perseus Jackson, and why Triton took interest in you. Even when you're about to confront your fatal flaw, you still choose to fight for what's right where you are needed."
Percy frowned a bit. "Triton? You heard from him?"
"I heard news of him," Kymopoleia said. "Apparently someone released the two of my brother-in-laws from Tartarus and they have joined the war front intime to break out all of the sea monsters in Atlanta and has moved north to fight Gaea's forces in Long Island. Whether they will succeed or not is yet to be determined."
"Kymopoleia, you should be an Oracle," I said, "You give depressing predictions like one."
The goddess let loose a dolphin laughed. "You amuse me, son of Jupiter. Never before have I seen a child of the sky so willing to fight side by side with a child of the sea. I hope you live to defeat Gaea."
"Uh, yeah… about that. How am I supposed to do that?"
Kymopoleia tilted her head. "You should know the answer. You are a child of the sky, with storms in your blood. A primordial god has been defeated once before."
"Ouranos," Percy said, "The first god of the sky. The Kronos and his brothers slayed him by tricking him to come to earth where he's weaker."
Kymopoleia nodded. "And if Gaea does wake… well, it won't be an easy task, but you must do something similar. And if the rumors I heard about the prophecy line 'An oath made with final breath' has already come true in Tartarus, and you two survived, I hope you will remember your promise, young Pontifex."
Percy had one of his rare confused looks, but I understand. "We're not priests?"
"No?" Kymopoleia's white eyes gleamed. "Well then, changes will have to be made. By the way, your ventus servant says he wishes to be free. Since he has helped you, he hopes you will let him go when you reached the surface. He promises he will not bother you a third time."
"A third time?"
Kymopoleia paused. "He says he joined the storm above to take revenge on you, without knowing you have grown stronger since the Grand Canyon."
"The Grand Canyon…" I recalled that day on the Skywalk, when one of my jerk classmates turned out to be a storm spirit. "You got to be kidding me? I'm breathing Dylan?"
"Yes," Kymopoleia said. "That seems to be his name."
I shuddered at the thought. "Well, Dylan will be glad to know I plan to release him as soon as I reach the surface. And if I knew it was him I lassoed, I wouldn't have gone for someone else."
"Dylan says he won't argue since he wouldn't have attack your ship if he knew you were as strong as you are now," Kymopoleia said.
"About our ship…" Percy said.
"It's still in tact, but barely," Kymopoleia said. "It should hold together until you reached Delos, but after that, I suggest someone repairs it."
"Sounds typical."
"Farewell," said the goddess. "And if the Fates survive, I pray they smile upon you."
…
Good thing we left after that, because I was running out of air (Dylan's air—gross).
On the way up, Percy spoke up. "Don't tell Annabeth about me using my powers to manipulate Polybotes' poison. I think she's still freaked out about that power since our encounter with the goddess of misery."
I nodded. "Don't worry. It'll be our secret."
"Thanks," Percy responded. "And thanks for helping me convince Kymopoleia to help us defeat Polybotes."
"That's what bros are for, right?" I asked.
"Yeah," Percy responded. "Truth was, before Juno kidnapped me and erased my memories, Annabeth and I had discussed about continuing the project of building monuments for the minor gods—especially to those that had disappeared, but…"
"With Juno forcing the two of us in an exchange program and Gaea resurrecting the giants, I'm guessing t slipped your mind?" I asked.
Percy nodded. "I didn't even think about it until Kymopoleia mentioned how she felt about not being honored and feared. That's why I brought up about building her a monument in Camp Half-Blood."
"Yeah, and now we have to expand that project in Camp Jupiter," I responded.
"Octavian will probably have an aneurism when he finds out," Percy laughed. "You should have seen him when the Romans agreed to build a temple to Iris on Temple Hill. If he wasn't out voted by the whole camp, he probably would have done something to prevent it. By the way, what does Pontifex mean exactly? It sounded like an important Roman title."
"It means priest. The Romans used to have a pontifex maximus, who oversaw all the proper sacrifices and whatnot, to make sure none of the gods got mad. I guess since we offered so much, your sister though we were two of them."
"It might be a good thing there's two of us," Percy said, "We can take turns overseeing the temples, shrines and monuments being built in either camp. And since I know Annabeth likes to oversee her work in progress, she probably wants to come with me to oversee the Roman engineers building her designs."
I laughed. "At least you won't have a hard time convincing your girlfriend to come with you to Camp Jupiter for that reason. I don't even know how Piper would react to the news."
"Isn't her dad a big time movie star in LA?" Percy asked. "Maybe during the school year you can stay with them so it be easier to arrange rides to San Francisco when needed?"
I never thought about that, but Percy had a good point. "Percy, you are smarter than you look."
Percy laughed. "Yeah… I guess so. Funny thing, when I ever talked to my dad about something serious, he would make this joke that I been hanging around Annabeth too long and that she's rubbing off on me."
I laughed. "Well, first thing first, we need to make it back to the ship, check on our friends and go to Delos to get advice from Artemis and Apollo," I responded.
"Good point," Percy agreed.
A/N: I am halfway through The Blood of Olympus. At least I hope I am. Either way, thanks for reading everyone.
