Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson

LAST TIME:

"Freya and I were captured by that asshole for the past week, I just woke up and managed to escape. He also had an accomplice that was the god of silence, he is still alive but missing an eye. Freya is at his house right not and need some help, someone please help her. I promise I will tell you it all in detail later but Freya needs help." Mortal said as the gods nodded as three of them teleported away.

"Man I need some sleep." Mortal said as he slowly began to close his eyes.

"Relapse takes three day's rest okay, just tell Freya I will be awake in three days." Mortal said before he passed into unconsciousness.

"Do you know what this means?" Odin asked himself but Thor answered him anyways.

"That the betting pool that Freya and Mortal are going to sleep together is back on?"

NOW:

YEAR 2071 BC: one year later

LOCATION: Scandinavia

PERCY POV:

It had been one year since the event that would come to be called 'Odr's downfall' also it showed all of the Asgardians just how powerful I was. If I would take Odr on and deal so much damage to him then only Chaos knew how much I would deal against a group of gods. Still I remained free of charges as my almost killing of Odr was in pure self-defense and Odin understood that.

But after that day the gods started to look at me in a new light, no longer a simple human but a god within a human's skin and body. I was known as merciless against all those who threatened me and people I cared for. But I was also known as the one of the power of the unknown, sure the gods knew a little about mana. But what I showed them was like showing someone who had never seen the sun the sun, it was something that was outrageous and went against everything you once believe.

But since that day Odr was forced to serve as a slave for the next 500 years, that person who he was the slave for was none other than Loki. You might think that Loki asked Odin to make Odr his slave but you are wrong, they drew name out of a helmet to decide who would get the slave. Loki just 'happened' to have his name chosen, but who cares that Freya is like a sister to Loki and is more protective of her than Thor and his precious hammer.

After the whole even though Odin said that I was free of my guard duties but Freya herself requested that I stay for the next two years to help her out and get her reacquainted with life without a stalker. I was more or less forced into it by Odin answering for me and making a bellowing laugh to drown out my own answer, which by the way was also yes. But I guess the Nordic god really wants to win that bet I heard about.

Over the past year though Freya seemed skittish to do things that Odr hatted, thinking that something bad would happen if she did them. But I helped her along nicely and quietly as I myself went through the same thing when I left Ares clutch. But hers was much worse than mine but soon she found herself no longer worried about the little things. For the first time in 600 years she final had a glass of mead which Odr refused to let her drink.

To say the least she was happy to do something by her own choice, however she didn't really like the taste of mead and in turn threw up on my shoe after she had a sip. But after than many more things started happening, such as Freya no longer wearing her normal Nordic dresses. Instead she wore plain shirts and shorts that came with a battle skirt and shoulder guard but nothing else.

She was to say the least happy as she enjoyed the pleasantry of having so much more movement then she did with the dresses. She even started carrying around a sword with her on her back that with her now ponytailed hair looked kind of sexy. She was no longer the love goddess and trophy wife she was forced to be she was not the war goddess that she enjoyed to be. Though even with this new outfit change and other habits she still enjoyed her domains of love a beauty.

But in my eyes she was Freya the goddess I started to develop a crush on not to long after I realized who she really was. If Odr wanted a fake women then he could go to Greece and find plenty of them in the alleyways behind bars. But with her mask now taken off she looked like a child getting their first weapon, truly happy and fully enjoying life. As of right now though I was beginning to suspect that Freya was having way too much fun with her new found money should could spend since she was no longer limited to an amount each month by Odr.

"Come on Percy there isn't that many." Freya said as she looked over the 70 new pairs of armor and weapons that Freya just bought.

"Yes there is, do you even have room for all these?" I asked her as I looked over the boxes that each had more than 60 pounds of gear in each. However each box was only limited to the armor and weapons of the set which meant that there were 70 boxes stacked before me in a massive pile.

"Well…" She couldn't finished her sentence as she shot me a sheepish glance.

"You don't trust me, after living in your home for a year I know for a fact that you do not even have room for even 5 sets of armor in your bedroom. Let alone 70 pairs that need to be stored and kept in good condition. Listen I am trying not to be mean here but I need you to pick out 3 of your favorites out of all of these and return the rest." I said as Freya looked at me like a child losing his or her toy.

"But their all my favorite." She said as she looked at the open boxes as she compared designs of the armors.

"I realize that but you still have to choose." I said in a exasperated tone as she looked up at me with a face that said she was going to cry.

"You're making this harder than a mother making a decision between her two children." She said as I let out a huge groan as I face palmed.

"This is nothing like that honestly sometimes I wonder if you even realize how wrong you are." I said as I shook my head as Freya let out a huff of frustration as she crossed her arms and just glared at me.

"How am I wrong?" She asked as I mentally slapped myself for bringing the conversation to this point. Even if I was powerful enough to bring a god to his knees and nearly kill him in the process I was still a man. And all men know that if I women asks you why or how she is wrong you are officially screwed. I bet if Chaos was a male and made this mistake he would be sleeping outside for a week.

"W-What I didn't mean wrong I meant…t-that you were comparing two completely different level of decision in a unfair way?" I said it more like a question than I should have but it seemed to give Freya the slip as she simply nodded lightly as she discovered she did compare two completely different level of decisions.

"Well I guess you are right but at least let me get you a pair or two from the pile so we can have at least five." She said as I sighed and nodded. I did like Nordic armor that was for sure but my but with my everlasting life there was no need for it.

"Okay I guess…" I said as Freya smiled and me and hugged me in her excitement, I just inhaled her scent of roses as I just wanted to stay like that forever but Freya had other plans as she pulled away.

"Lets get started." She said happily as I gave her a small smile as she pulled me towards the mound of armor in hopes of finding me a design I like so I could get my own.

LINEBREAK:

After a few hours we finally made it hope as I carried four boxes on my back as Freya carried the last one in front of her as we talked.

"So you got head butted by the Egyptian god of death?" She asked in disbelief as I nodded remembering the jackal headed god.

"Yeah hurt like a bitch let me tell you, I swear that that man has no brains at all. But I guess if he did he lost them when he head butted me." I said as I swore I heard a sneeze but didn't peruse it.

"Oh gods Mortal you are so funny." She said as she opened up the door to her house to find it dark inside due to the sun setting.

"I know." I said with a flip of my hair as I set the boxes that were tied together in the corner of the room as she set down her new 'favorite' set of armor on the counter as I used my mana to light a candle in the middle of the room. But she just rolled her eyes at my antics as she opened up the box ad began to take out the items inside.

"What do we have here?" I asked as I noticed a letter on the ground by the door as I went to close it. I just bent down and picked it up and flipped it over as it revealed the seal that had a Omega on it as I froze.

"What is it?" I heard Freya ask as I quickly stuffed the letter in my cloak as I turned to her and smiled.

"Just a spider." I said as her face fell quickly as she almost instantly appeared on a chair as a panicked face was shown as she quickly looked around the room. I however just raised an eyebrow as she didn't make a sound the entire time until she deemed it was a spider free area.

"I am going to have to talk to Loki about getting a new barrier about bugs." She said in a slightly angry tone as a smile slowly spread across my face that turned into a grin.

"Oh is the great goddess of war afraid of a small spider?" I asked as her head whipped to me as she saw my shit eating grin. (Athena hasn't turned archaea into a giant spider yet)

"Mortal I swear you say anything I will gut you." She said to me as I kept smiling as I raised my hands up.

"Oh my lips are sealed…but the only other war goddess I know is Athena and she isn't afraid of spiders." I said as Freya's eye twitched.

"Well maybe she should be." She said in an angry tone but she shivered a little as if she had a flashback. But me being the ever so slick player I am used this as a opportunity, I just slowly stalked up to Freya who had her back turned to me. I then wrapped my arms around her whole upper body and lifted her up as she let out an eek.

"M-Mortal let me go!" She said as she face gained a few shades of gold as I shook my head as she squirmed in my grasp but gave no yield.

"No way I don't want the spiders to get to you." I said in a childish tone as she gave me a glare.

"If you don't let me down this instant I will-!" But I cut her off as I began to walk through her house and twirl her a few times as she let out a girly scream.

"Stoooooop iiiiittttt!" She said as I gave her a few twirls as I found us in her bedroom as I dropped the dazed goddess on the bed. I then proceeded to raise my arms above my head like a diver's position and began to slowly fall onto the bed with Freya bellow me. She was to dazed to notice as I fell on her as she let out a loud oomph and then coughed a few times as I went dead weight on her.

"Mother of gods your heavy, get off me." She said as she gasped for air as I just began to laugh as she tried to push me off but failed greatly.

"Not until you tell me why you are afraid of spiders." I said with my face in the soft sheets of the bed as Freya eventually gave up on trying to push me off. She then looked in my direction as I caught her eyes with mines as I glanced up at her as I gave no signs of moving.

"Fine…it was a few years before you came here, I-I was with Loki on another planet-."

"Another planet!" I nearly yelled as I had no clue she traveled to other planets as she hushed me.

"The gate of Asgard can transport any being to any one of the nine realms now hush." She said sternly as I nodded.

"Well back to where I was…I was with Loki on another planet and was helping search some old ruins in hopes of finding anything of value that we would keep out of the hand who wish to throw the nine realms into chaos. We found nothing but when we were leaving we encountered…the crawlers." She said with a shiver in her voice as I was truly curious as of now.

"Crawlers?" I asked her.

"I thought I asked you to keep quiet." She said in a stern voice as I closed my mouth.

"The crawlers are basically giant spiders, one of them is easily 8 to 9 feet tall and basically does everything a spider can do but supersized. Well when we were battling them I got stuck in some thread and managed to get myself caught in a mass amount of crawler thread. In turn one of them found I was an easy snack and decided to save me for later and began to cocoon me in thread." She said as if it was the worst experience ever which I bet it was up there along with having to clean Ares feet.

"By the time I knew it I was fully cocooned and was scared to death as I heard Loki shouting for help. The last thing I knew there was a gut wrenching pain in my abdomen as I was stabbed by a stinger and I passed out due to poison moments later. When I woke later I was in Asgard in the medical beds, Loki was by the side of my bed. Apparently Asgard sent Thor to help. Eventually though I came to see each spider as a crawler and it j-just freaks me out." She said in a tiny voice as I felt my emotions get the better of me as I grasped her shoulders.

She just looked at me confused as I was now standing by the side of the bed as I pulled her into a hug. This surprised her to say the least as she slowly wrapped her arms around me as I felt her tiny hands grip my shirt. At the same time I felt her face fall upon my chest as she didn't shed a tear, but I could feel her enjoying the warmth of the hug and the comfort I was giving her.

"Thanks Mortal." She whispered as I smiled, but seconds later I heard a small snore come from my chest as I slowly pulled the fully asleep Freya off me. But she wouldn't let go of my shirt as I was forced to pull it off and let her snuggle up to it. I just watched in fascination as Freya inhaled deeply from my shirt as she seemed to put her at ease. But me being my self-conscious self I sniffed my armpit to find it clean as I gave a shrug.

I then turned my eyes to my cloak that was hanging up on the end of the bed I just bent down and lifted the letter out of it. I just examined it for a second as I turned to Freya, she was sleeping soundly even with her light armor on. But to help her out I carefully teleported her armor into my arms as I set it down beside the bed. I then pulled a blanket over her as I covered her half naked form since she only had on a shirt, bra, and panties.

"Now what do the great Olympians want?" I asked as I walked into the other room and took a seat at the dining table with the candle still on it. I just looked at the blood red seal that I could almost feel the aura of Ares come off of. It was full of malice and hatred but I gave it no mind as I popped the wax seal open and flipped it open.

But there was not letter inside of it as I looked inside it to find nothing as I raised an eyebrow, did the idiot forget to include the letter? But then I looked inside and saw something metal as I again raised an eyebrow, I just turned the letter upside down and out dropped a key. It was a simple iron key that I held up I the light as I examined it.

It gave off not magic or mana as far as I could tell and looked like a simple room key to be honest, but as I turned it over I noticed it had a name and room number on it. I almost froze as I read the name of the inn on it as it was the very one I slept at on my last night in Scandinavia. It was Thor's Tavern, room number 23 on the second floor on the very end with no windows. I almost crushed the key in my hand as I felt anger fuel me as I knew what this meant.

But slowly I uncurled the slightly bent key from my hand and slowly raised it to my face as I looked at it thoroughly. I just grinned like a mad man as well I chuckled ever so slightly as I realized tomorrow was the 23 of the month. It must have taken the god of war a long time to come up with a plan this this good I would give him that. But then again it could be another Olympian seeking me for a mission.

But at this point I didn't care as I let the smile fade from my lips and I slipped the key into my pocket. At the same time I looked over at the letter and picked it up, I then used mana to light it on fire as I watched the fire eat away at the letter and the hot wax cascade off my hand. But I felt no pain as I watched it slowly be destroyed by the fire until there was nothing left but a puddle of hardened wax. I just snapped my fingers as the wax was teleported to a random location never to be seen again.

"So the god of war wants to play a game huh, let's see how well he can keep up." I said as I reached over to the candle in the middle of the table and pinched the wick as I put out the flame. As I did I sent the room spiraling into a darkness, the only light however was my glowing green eyes that starred into the darkness as if searching for an answer. But with a blink the light was gone and the room seemed to die in a way as the darkness fully consumed it.

LINEBREAK:

THIRDPERSON POV:

"Ares this place is disgusting, did we have to come here?" Complained the goddess of love as Ares grunted a little.

"Yes Aphrodite now silence before we are discovered by hostile gods as they listen in on your babbling." He hissed at her as Aphrodite's eyes lit aflame in anger, nobody told her to shut up. But she just gritted her teeth in frustration as she let it pass as she knew if they did get in a fight there was a large chance the Nordic gods would find them. But with them being in a distant country from their home each only had the power of a minor god.

"Fine but when we get home you are so sleeping on the ground for the next month." She told him in a silent but very angry voice. Ares just looked at her like she was joking but her straight forward and very unusual serious look said she wasn't joking. He simple sighed deeply as he grabbed the horrible drink of mead and downed the rest of it as he coughed a few times.

"Whatever let's just hope that idiot got the message, I don't wish to be in this horrible place for as long as I need to." He said as the barmaid came over with a new mug of the mead as Ares grimaced, but he grabbed it no less and took a swig as the barmaid smiled and ran back to the bar. Ares may have hated the beverage to no end but he knew that he had to blend in thus his current disguise.

Ares was forced to grow his hair out to bellow shoulder length and forced a beard to grow out about 6 inches as well. He also gave himself the features of the people which was ease with a little magic, but he also was forced by Aphrodite to make his build a little shorter than normal and a little wider giving him a 6 foot height with huge shoulders. Aphrodite on the other hand simply changer her hair color to blonde and changed her clothes and that was it.

"You know he is smarter than he looks." Aphrodite said absent mindedly as she sipped lightly on her glass of water. Ares then slowly turned to her his face full of a hidden emotion which only Aphrodite could translate to anger.

"That boy is as dumb as Hephaestus when he hit his head on Olympus's front porch after mother tossed him away because of the freak he is." He snarled at her but was quickly met with a loud bang and a face full of water as he was shocked to say the least. He just stared in silence at Aphrodite slammed her now empty mug on the table and stormed out of the bar. She simply gave him one last glance of pure rage and slammed the door to the tavern effectively cracking it as she did.

"I must say you sure know how to treat a women, but I guess that is just how you have always been." Said a new voice as the liquid on Ares face started to steam in his rage. But before he could draw his blade however he found himself frozen, not because of some power or anything but in pure surprise. He just continued starring at the king of Nordic gods Odin himself as the god raised an eyebrow at Ares actions.

"O-Odin." Ares said as he got up quickly and bowed to the god as sweat poured from his brow. Even Ares the greatest war god in the Greek pantheon knew that this man before him packed enough power in him to face the big three on even grounds. But as he bowed to the king of the gods before him Odin just chuckled lightly as Ares looked up at him fear evident on his face.

"Please do not bow for any longer or the people will begin to notice." He said as he walked past Ares as if he was a simply human and he was royalty. Ares simply nodded quickly and took his seat as Odin took the one Aphrodite has stormed out of. As they did they just starred at one another as Ares tried to hide his fear, in truth Ares was very afraid of this man in front of him. He has seen him fight once long ago before the pantheons split, it was like the fates themselves gave this man the power of an entire pantheon to himself.

"You must be wondering why I am here." Odin said bluntly as Ares nodded.

"Well it wasn't for the entertainment that was just an added bonus. What I have come her today is as of why you have the guts to walk into my realm and demand a meeting with one of my great friends." He said as he gently rubbed his eyepatch as Ares's unasked question of how Odin knew was answered.

"Y-You are not called the all father for nothing I see…I have come to pick up my slave. He is needed for a transaction in our pantheon." He said as Ares steeled himself as he hardened his tone, knowing Odin would most likely incinerate him if he was weak around him.

"Ah I see…what kind of transaction might I ask?" Odin asked in an emotionless voice that just made Ares shiver.

"One of a diplomatic entity, I have sworn on the Styx to not reveal anything more than what I have told you by my father." He said with a gulp as Odin just began a bellowing laugh that startled Ares.

"Ah yes Zeus that great god of the skies and thunder, why I remember him like it was yesterday. Tell me does he still shave his face every day, I remember him saying that beards had not strategic values in a war." Odin said in an honest but curious attitude. But Ares just grimaced at the idea of his father without a beard, even the idea made him shiver a little.

"Unfortunately he doesn't anymore." He said as Odin laughed even harder as he pounded his fist on the counter of the table as he laughed. Ares was both curious and fearful of the gods display as he wiped a tear from his one eye. At the same time the barmaid brought over a large mug of mead for the kind of Nordic gods as he gave her a thankful nod.

"Oh little Zeusy giving up so easily, well it doesn't really surprise me to say the least. But where was I…oh yes the topic or your slave." He said in a stone like voice as Ares gulped.

"Well to be honest if I could Ares just the simple thought of you controlling Perseus against his will makes me want to crush your skull right here and now and be done with you. But I cannot unfortunately as in doing so would send both our pantheons into a war in which we do not need right now with the earth rising." Odin said with sadness as Ares a shiver down his spine as he looked at Odin stare blankly into the mead in his mug as it shined back his reflection.

"You see Ares I have grown to like Perseus, as a matter of fact he has started falling in love with one very lovely women in my realm. They are so in love and they don't even know it themselves, it is heartbreaking to see you rip him away from her. Especially so you can simply marry him off to a Mayan goddess so you and their Pantheon will remain in peace. Though I do see the importance of the treaty I cannot say I am pleased to hear that Perseus is needed to complete it." He said starring at the god of war as he gulped.

"I-It wasn't my idea sir-." But he was cut off by the wave of a hand and a very bored look on Odin's face.

"Yes I know it was Athena's idea, though I can see why." He said as Ares was confused as of why Athena did think of it in the first place. But with that Odin brought his mug to his lips and drank the whole mug right there as he let out a large burp afterwards. The whole tavern lit up with cheers as he lifted his glass as they cheered louder. But after the display he set the mug on the table and looked right at Ares.

"Ares I am not happy nor am I please about this gamble your fellow Olympians are taking with Perseus life that should be his own. I can see that most of you see him as not as a human but as a possession that can be tossed around and played with. But I will give you a piece of advice war god." Odin said as he stood up and walked over to Areas and began to whisper in his ear.

"You might want to let Perseus go of his binds to you before the great war starts, or you will truly find out how much Perseus is willing to go through to kill you." With that Odin left the god of war alone as Ares was in a slight state of shock of the events that just happened. However Ares did know one thing, it didn't matter how many deities came up to and told him to release Perseus he would never do such a thing.

Perseus was one of the greatest resources he had ever came upon, a mortal blessed with an endless life and with the curse thrust upon him it just made it better. Ares just clutched his mug as it threatened to break under his grip as he struggled to control himself. However as he looked back at Odin leaving he noticed about 7 people of the 30 in the tavern got up and left to.

Ares just watched in horror as each of the people looked at him with glowing eyes signaling godhood. As the last person took a look at him a smirk appeared on his face as he turned to Ares and spoke to him.

"You know Ares if I were you I would also let go of your other slaves as well, Thor can only stand so much abuse to his daughter. Also you might want to rethink telling your daddy about this, his powers over lighting are simply that of a bug to wolf when Thor is serious. If I remember right anyways, but should I say have a good day god of war." Said the man with a smirk as he jogged to the door where one man with light blue eyes was standing as he saw thunder class across his pupils.

At the same time you could hear the rain start outside as thunder rumbled the land as the man talking to Ares turned to the one with blue eyes.

"Thor lets go you're letting your powers get ahold of you." He said as Ares watched the rain fall around the both of them as Thor continued looking at Ares.

"Fine Loki but the storm is not of my making, it looks like Perseus will arrive soon." But with that he closed the door to only to be opened again as Aphrodite walked back in. But as Ares looked through the door the only trace of the group of gods was a giant intricate mark on the ground and smoke. The rain quickly washing the mark away as the door closed as Aphrodite ringed the rest of the rain out of her hair and walked over to Ares.

But her face still said he was in the dog house as her eyes burned with hatred, she angrily grabbed her seat and pulled it out. She then turned the back of it to Ares as she crossed her arms and legs as he sighed deeply at her antics. She was pissed he could tell that much but he could only wonder why as he watched the barmaid bring the goddess a towel and a glass of water which she accepted with a smile.

"Listen Aphro-." But he was cut off by her hand going in the air.

"The only reason I am coming inside is to escape this dreaded rain, I may be a goddess but a cold is a possibility at this point with my powers. I do not forgive you either about what you said about my husband." She said as he grew angry.

"You cheat on him for Zeus sake, why the hell are you mad at me?" He asked as he was hit in the face with a now wet towel. She just turned to him with anger still very present about her.

"You wouldn't understand even if I got you a picture book and read it to you, but I see that are so dense you wouldn't understand it anyways. For now shut the hell up and don't talk to me, I don't want you to even look at me for the next 48 hours." She said as she whipped her head back around and noticed a male looking at her with a seductive gaze. She just took a glance at Ares and smirked as she got up and walked over to the male.

To say Ares wasn't pleased would be an understatement as he officially broke the mug in his hand as the drink went all over the table. The barmaid tried to clean it up but Ares didn't pay attention to her as he watched his girlfriend openly flirt with a male at table. He just watched in rage as Aphrodite worked her magic and easily coxed the male into sleeping with her. In the next second they were on their way up the stairs with her breasts pressed up against his arms and a sleazy smirk on the man's face.

Ares stood up in that moment to go kill that man and have his way with his girlfriend to the point she would be begging him not to stop. But he was stopped as the door of the tavern was opened revealing a man in a black cloak that was completely dry. Suddenly a massive boom of thunder struck overhead along with lighting as it lit up the sky. But past the man and in the darkness you could clearly see a smoking patch of ground the lighting had just hit.

The man simply scanned the room until his gaze fell on Ares as he began to walk over, but at the same time the dinner had gone quiet as they all starred at the man. However with Ares super hearing he could hear whispers of the men in the room as he picked up a few things. Such as 'Is that Mortal?' '-god in a man's body' '-wander of darkness' 'killer of thousands' and much more as he watched the man take Aphrodite's old seat and sit in it.

However he just sat there in silence before the barmaid rushed over and with worry very evident on her face as she approached the man. But his gaze didn't leave Ares as the god slowly sat down in his seat. However the young 14 year old barmaid managed to gather up the courage to finally speak as she starred at the possibly scariest table in the whole dinner. With Ares in his scary looking Scandinavian form and this so called 'mortal' it was possibly the scariest thing ever.

"M-Mortal sir the owner wants to know what your business is here tonight." She managed to squeak out as a smirk played on the lips of the man. At the same time he slowly took off his hook as the young girl suddenly blushed at the sight. He was probably the most gorgeous man she had ever seen and probably ever see. His semi long charcoal black hair and sea green eyes that shown like the ocean, but what took the cake was his face that looked to be molded our of granite.

"I haven't come for trouble let me ensure you, I have just come to see a…old friend." But at the word friend Ares saw a flash in the man's eyes. Ares in truth didn't realize how powerful Percy was in that moment as he simply felt a flicker of his power. However that flicker was just enough for Ares to smirk at the human before him.

"Oh god's thank you…w-wait…I mean would you like a drink?" She asked as Percy simply laughed and nodded as she ran away a blush very present on her face still. As she left Percy turned to Ares and frowned deeply as Ares just glared at him.

"So tell me Ares what does 'my oh so great' master want his most humble servant to do now?" He asked in a mocking tone as Ares almost lost it.

"You're going to get married." Ares said with a smirk as Percy's face fell to complete shock.

REVIEW WHORE POWERS ACIVATE
