Percy Jackson and The Lighting Thief
On the OlympusGods were arguingas usual, nothing new nothing same but still the same. They were so busy that they didn't notice the bright light in the middle of the throne room and the people which it brought. It was only when Apollo saw some images when he was listening to music and wasn't paying attention to other that he noticed them. He stared at them for a while not wanting to draw attentions of others to see them. The people more like kids their kids were standing there but he didn't recognise any of them. Hmm from the future that means. He thought. The kids were looking at each other. Until they all were staring at few of them in between them. Like they were seeing ghosts.
"Hello" Apollo said to them. Their heads snapped to his direction. "Do you know how did you get here." They all shock their heads no. "Alright. Don't worry we will find out soon enough." It was at this moment the rest of the gods saw them. "Who are you? And How did you get in without our permission?" Zeus Thundered loudly. Apollo could swear he saw the dark haired green eyed demigod roll his eyes at Zeus like whatever I don't care. The rest were a little worried. Some looked around in awe. Just the five of them looked annoyed at Zeus outburst. It was really amusing. He saw the rest of them look at the black haired and green eyed demigod. Hmm he is their leader. Interesting. The demigod looked at the blonde haired girl and nodded. "Lord Zeus. If you have not called us here, we don't know how we got here. We were at the camp and then suddenly we were brought here. We thought you summed us." The girl explained. Just then there was another bright light in front of Apollo and over Athena. A card fell through the light ahead of Apollo he caught it before it fell and ten books were dropped in Athena's lap.

Fates
Apollo read it out loud. Just as when he was finished he felt different and saw that every other gods in the room have shrunk to their mortal size and their powers were to the minimum. Apollo looked at the books. In front of Athena and back at the kids. They all were watching the same people that they were before. The one of them took a step forward towards the other he noticed that both of them were his kids from future and one of them was crying. "Michael" the crying one called everyone saw him jump in the boys arm and started crying. The other was shocked "ahh...Will are you alright?" He asked softly in confusion. The dark haired green eyed stared at Michael with guilt and regret and amazement. He stepped towards them then stopped. He looked like he was fighting to hug him and run away. The blonde girl noticed that and softly spoke " go". He didn't look back and jumped at Michael. "I am so so sorry." The boy said crying. The boy looked around trying to understand what had happened. "Percy. What are you apologising for? Hey it's alright. Shh." Michael hugged both of them trying to comfort them while trying to understand what was happening. The boy simply didn't stopped saying sorry to Michael. He looked at others all of them had tears in their eyes. Apollo was looking at them and suddenly understood "Oh. You all are from different times." He thought out loud. That's when he understood the reaction of everyone. Michael had died for them. But he is here from before that time. The rest of them knew what had happened. The blonde hair girl looked at him with tears in her eyes trying to understand how i knew that. He rolled my eyes they all think i am stupid. He looked at other and understood that they all were from different times. Those they were staring at had died at some point in the wars mentioned. The gods were discussing the issue at hand. Which Apollo was ignoring. He heard Poseidon say loud enough for Apollo to notice as well. "We can not hurt the children if you haven't heard they are our own children from the future. And they fought in the wars. That means not one but more. So get that in your head."
"Why should we care about these abomination. They are-" Hera said and was cut off.
"They are our children nothing else. Just because we are stupid enough to cheat and to do stupid fucking shits doesn't mean that they are abominations. And call my children abomination again i will make you pay for eternity. They are kid. You are goddess of family you should understand this more than anyone not the other way around." Apollo snapped.
"What would you know about family. It's not like you know anything about-" Aphrodite started
"Finish that sentence. I dare you. We all but mortals right now. You may be the eldest of the gods but right now we are all vulnerable." Artemis cut her off. "And you would know anything about family you being cheating on your husband for centuries." Athena spoke while looking at the books in her hands.
"Why are they crying?" Lady Hestia said cutting everyone off she was looking at the kids. Apollo snapped his head towards them again and saw they all were hugging each other while they cried.
Apollo spoke softly "they all are from different times. The confused ones probably didn't make it through the wars. The others might have watched them die." Apollo was looking at his son. He just wanted to go to them and hug them both hide them with himself and never let them leave his side.
"Oh. That would mean..." Hestia started and looked at the kids with tears herself. He looked at the black haired green eyed demigod he was hugging a bulky kid. Probably son of Hephaestus. Who was looking at Apollo like he understood what had happened. Apollo saw number of emotions passed through his eyes before he accepted and told him it is ok. And hugged him just as tightly. "I don't blame you." He said softly to Percy was his name. "Nico told me what you said. I know that you don't blame me." Percy pulled back and looked at him. "That doesn't mean that ... " percy trailed of. "... i know." Son of Hephaestus said back. "Nico told me that you went to Elysium. Thought you should know." Percy told him softly. "Well thanks. You have grown quite a lot since i last saw you. And your eyes they-" percy cut off son of Hephaestus. "It's been a long time probably. When are you from."
"You know few weeks before your sixteen birthday. And you."
"I turning 17 in few weeks."
"Well i knew you will survive that means we won the second titan war?"
Percy smiled softly and sadly at that "yes"
"You don't sound happy."
"Lost so.."
"It i...was a war of course we will los..- Percy did Selena made it."
Percy eyes and head fall down at that. "She... she...she was the bravest of them all."
Son of Hephaestus didn't spoke just stared at Percy. Who didn't looked up from floor. And slowly tears started to flow down his face. "Oh. Well. We will be together in Elysium forever than." Percy looked at son of Hephaestus slowly. "Yeah." Spoke so softly like that is the most amazing and beautiful dream he had ever seen but the dream he can never have. They hugged one last time before they went to others.
I looked back at gods they wanted to ask themselves but Zeus looked annoyed that he wasn't the centre of attention he was keeping quiet because Lady Hestia was glaring at him. No one wants to get those glares. When the kids were all calming down she spoke softly. "Are you alright."
They all nodded and some spoke softly like yeah or yes. Hestia waved her hand and different kinds of drinks appeared in front of the kids. "Drink some and whenever you are ready tell who you are and who are your parents."
All the kids stared at Lady Hestia like she is some kind of ... well. God. Only Percy, the blonde girl, the strays and a skinny dark haired and eyed with black clothes bowed to her. The rest followed their example and did the same. "Thank you Lady Hestia." Percy spoke with respect and gratitude. Everyone of gods were surprised. So were the kids they didn't knew who she was but few of them did. Apollo stole a glance at his aunt she was also surprised. When Percy stood up and told others to take a drink the did but he waited till last and looked nervously at the gods and shuffled his feet. When Apollo met his eyes he saw the dark circles under them how skinny he really was but his eyes they looked so broken. He understood now what the son of Hephaestus was talking about. When Percy noticed that Apollo was studying him he looked back at Lady Hestia. "Can i have something blue please." All the other kids snorted and rolled their eyes. Apollo looked at his aunt she was smiling in amusement. "Of course." The last glass changed its color. Percy eyes sparkled a bit. "Thank you." He took the glass and went back to the groups. They all were looking a bjt better.
"Now introduces yourself." Zeus thunder again he was probably annoyed at them.
Percy sighed. And looked at the Blonde girl. They seemed to be talking with eyes. The girl nodded and stepped forth.

Leo Valdez. Son of Hephaestus
Michael yew. Son of Apollo
Will solace. Son of Apollo
Connor and Travis Stroll. Sons of Hermes

Charles Beckendorf. Son of Hephaestus

Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano. Daughter of Bellona
Grover Underwood
Dakota. Son of Bacchus
Gewn. Daughter of Venus
The kids introduced themselves and nodded to their respective parents and stood behind the other there were kids of the minor gods in them as well which surprised Olympians and Hades. Now only six were left. The first one who stepped forward was a girl with red hair.
Rachel Elisabeth Dare. Oracle
Apollo's head snapped to the girl. He couldn't believe it. The rest of gods looked at Apollo. Apollo looked so happy.
"Really? I get a girl for Oracle back?"
Percy spoke from behind the girl.
"The curse on the Oracle broke at the end of the last titan war."
Apollo was bouncing on his spot. And jumped on his sister with tears flowing down his face.
Artemis knew Apollo was going to either jump on her or Hermes or the girl. Still she was taken by surprise. The all were shocked.
"My Oracle is back. I told you."
"Yeah yeah." Artemis looked at the girl than at his brother than at Hermes. "Now get off me."
Apollo scramble to his feet and went to the kids. (He looked around 20 at the time)
"Apollo-" Zeus started to say to get back on his seat. But stopped when other gods gave him a pointed look. He sighed. "Sure"
Apollo didn't noticed them at all. He went Rachael and hugged her.
"It's so good to see my Oracle. I already know you will be my favourite. Thank you so much."
"Sure. Lord Apollo."
When he pulled back and looked at the girl. He kissed her forehead like a blessing.
And looked at the kids. He saw his children and walked to them and hugged them tightly.
"Thank you both of you too."
Both of them were shocked and didn't know what to do.
Michael started. "Aah...your welcome?"
"It's was because of-" Will started to say
"Will!" Percy stopped him and shocked his head and told him to hug him back.
Will nodded and hugged his father for the first time. Michael followed his example. Apollo was kissed on their heads. And dragged them along to where he was sitting now there was a sofa for all of them and sat their with arms around their shoulders protectively and glared at Zeus to say otherwise.
Lady Hestia spoke before anyone could shout. "Rest of you continue. And Zeus we will be here with the kids for days probably we cannot avoid them might as well talk to them as parents."
"The a-" Zeus started to say.
"Is stupid." Both Poseidon and Athena spoke at the same time. They looked at each other and made face like they couldn't believe that they said the same thing. Lady Hestia looked at the kids to continue before another argument broke. The nodded their thanks and one of them stepped forth.
Nico Di-Angelo. Son of Hades. Born before the oath.
Hazel Levesque. Daughter of Pluto. Born before the oath.
The gods looked at each other and at Hades. Who looked at his kids. And glared at Zeus.
Thalia Grace. Daughter of Zeus. Lieutenant of Artemis.
There was pin drop silence for few moments. Than Hera slowly turned towards her Husband.
"You broke the Oath. And cheated again. Why am I surprised. You are di-"Hera shouted.
Zeus looked like he wanted to disappear.
Poseidon interrupted Hera. "You can talk to him about this in private. Let them continue." Poseidon nodded towards Percy. Who nodded back. Poseidon was taken back by his appearance 'oh i did broke the oath too.'
Jason Grace. Son of Jupiter.
"Twice."
Percy Jackson. Son of Poseidon.
Percy spoke before Hera could start again. With confidence and authority and fire like challenging anyone to say otherwise. Everyone(gods) was taken back by the tone. They all understood the meaning of that. The reason why they had taken the oath had come to pass. This person was the leader of the group who fought war against the titans and won. Hero of the Olympus. The children behind him stood tall as well.
Apollo understood the undertone and the broken look that percy had before. He had carried the punishment of his father's broken oath the most. More Than the others. But right now his eyes and posture reflect power. The aura around the Son of Poseidon is really powerful. The broken look from before had all but disappeared.
"You broke the oath." Zeus shouted.
"Well you broke twice." Poseidon countered. Shrugging.
Percy had a amused look on his face. Everyone behind him were trying to control their laughter behind their hands.
When Percy felt like he was studied he looked directly at Apollo's eyes. They stared at each other. Percy was studying Apollo. Apollo was just admiring him. Percy gave a small smile at Apollo before looking back at the chaos.
The gods were arguing about the broken oath.
Apollo felt his kids shaking with laughter at his sides. He whispered "well at least they are arguing about something new."
Both Will and Michael fell into giggles. He looked at the other gods.
"You cannot prevent a prophecies. It would have come to pass one way or another. I did warned you before, that you should not try to prevent it. By making an oath you put your children under the consequence of broken oath. I warned you again and again. But you didn't just make an oath but decided to drag uncle Hades along. Even when he did not wish to do so. And he is the only one who didn't broke the oath. We are immortals we cannot die if we broke the oath on Styx but it is passed on our demigod children they suffer because of us." Apollo spoke in the loud enough voice so that everyone could hear and listen. They all looked shocked at Apollo.
"What. Did you forgot that i am god of prophecies, reason and logic." Apollo glared at them.
Athena blinked. "Apollo is right."
"So these books. We have to read them?" Ares asked annoyed. " they lead to war probably." Aphrodite added helpfully for Ares. Who looked exited. Everyone rolled their eyes.
"What are Roman and Greeks doing together?" Demeter asked.
Reyan and Percy looked at each other. "We are allies. And friends. And family."
"It should not been done we have kept both camps hidden for your own sake." Hera growled.
Percy, Jason, Thalia, Reyna and Annabeth glared at Hera. Annabeth opened her mouth to speak. "Annabeth." Percy spoke softly to her. "What!!" She hissed. "Just imagine when they realise because of whom that we are together." Percy whispered to her softly. Apollo was watching closely but didn't heard anything. But he saw the amusement dancing on his face. And how the rest relaxed while other were coughing into their fists to cover up their laughs.
"We cannot tell you. If these books are about what happened you will see why and because of whom and how." Percy stated he had started calmly but was gittering his teeth at how. Was trying to look composed but his eyes were furiously glaring at Hera who didn't notice.
I wonder what happened to him. Apollo thought to himself. Apollo noticed Will was also glaring at the floor to not give it away. Apollo squeezed Will's shoulder and pulled him close. He felt Will relax at that. That's when he noticed the injuries on everyone. He gasped. He let go of Michael and knelt in front of Will. Will looked startled at looked back at Apollo. "Dad?" "Are injured anywhere?" Apollo looked at Will with concern. "It's alright father. We had just came from war." Apollo looked even more concerned at the reply. He looked at the other kids they all were supporting injuries. He looked back at his son. Apollo was getting angry at Fates when he felt his power returning. He smiled. Apollo put his hand over Wills head and closed his eyes. Will gasped when he felt his injuries and bruises heal. He sighed. And slumped back into the sofa. Apollo looked at Michael he saw that he was alright. And moved to the others. When he stood up he saw that they all were standing. He waved his hands and comfort chairs sofas blankets all appeared behind the kids. The kids all looked at them and started to relax. Going in pairs or whatever they all were near where Apollo and kids were sitting. Will got up and dragged Nico to sit with him. Percy and the seven looked at each other and shrugged and sat next to Nico with Thalia. The others sat with their friends or half brothers or sisters. Apollo started healing at the end and came to the seven. Every one of them sighed and relaxed at being healed. When he reach Percy. " first Nico and Thalia." Percy said. Apollo rolled his eyes and went to them. When he was near Nico he saw that Will and Nico were arguing about Nico's health. "I am perfectly fine." Nico snapped at Will. Will opened his mouth to say something but Apollo got to it first. "I'll be the judge of that Mr. Di Angelo. Now Will tell me why were you arguing with him."
"He shadow traveled from Europe to America with two people and ... ahhh ahem... -" will looked at Nico and they sheared a look.
"An extremely powerful and heavy magical thingy." Percy spoke from where he was sitting next to Thalia. Apollo and everyone else looked at Percy. "What?!" Percy asked when he saw everyone look at him. "Really heavy magical thingy..???" Annabeth asked. "What else was I supposed to say?" Percy asked offended. "You are such an idiot." Annabeth sighed. "If you can come up with something better that please go ahead and say it. See if you can come up with better answer." Percy replied back. Apollo was working on Nico. While he listened to them arguing. Everyone was watching them bicker. The argument was getting heated. "If you were-" Annabeth was cut off by Thalia. "Annabeth!!" Annabeth turned to Thalia "what???!?" "Jezz what happened to you." Thalia was looking between them Percy was really calm. Annabeth was fuming. When Apollo got to Percy. "I am alright." Percy spoke calmly. Apollo took Percy hand quietly and forced the to open up. Percy let him. Apollo traced the half moon scars which were formed by Percy's own nails. He had unconsciously pressed too hard that it drew blood from his palm. When Apollo had traced them Percy's hands healed before anyone could notice. Percy didn't even realise that he was calming slowly because of the warmth which was spreading through is veins because of Apollo. Percy blinked when he was calm and looked at Apollo who had moved to his cuts on his shoulders and back. It was healing slowly. Apollo spoke slowly to percy that he only percy could hear. "I am not healing you completely right now you need rest and food lots and lots of both. The injuries are reduced but i can only heal so much. So sweet dreams." Percy looked like he was about to protest but Apollo touched his head and he slumped into peaceful sleep for once. Apollo hmmed and went to sit between Michael and Will. Next to Will Nico was sleeping peacefully too snuggled into Will. Apollo smiled at that. And looked up he was also tired as he had used so much power to heal the kids. "What did you do to my son?" Poseidon asked calmly.(well like calm before storm) "he is just sleeping nothing to worry about. Both Nico and Percy were already at the brink of unconscious. I don't even now how they were still standing. Could be purely out of stubbornness like you Uncle P and H." Artemis rolled her eyes and eyed his brother. Who was smiling and was in content. He looked happy for some reason. She looked at the kids they all were relaxed were snuggling with each other. She looked at the two boys who were sleeping. Her lieutenant was cozy with these males. And that too son of Poseidon and Hades. She wanted to ask why. But she saw daughter of Zeus shift son of Poseidon so that he was sleeping in her lap. The other put the blanket over him and shifted so that he could sleep peacefully. She remembered from the moment they saw these kids. They were on guard around us. But she also saw that they had lost many of their friends and only some of them were here other were just gone. She wondered what happened to her Zoe. Was war the reason she have a new lieutenant? She noticed the glares the kids gave and the respect the male Percy gave to Aunt Hestia. It was surprising. She also noticed her brother watching them and she saw the administration in his eyes for son of Poseidon. She hoped it remains till that. Her eyes drifted to her brother again. He was holding his son like they would disappear. Just than it clicked in her mind. That one of them will be dead. Oh. That's not good. If he got attached to them he wouldn't be able to...
"Should we wake them before we start or not?" Hades asked.
"Let them rest. We can start the books they have already lived through." Apollo replied.
"I'll start." Athena said and picked up the book.
