After my new mom leaves I decide to go for a walk to test out my new powers. Apparently I can grow plants at my will, and will get a permanent power up during the spring and summer months and I will have more 'control' over my water powers. I don't know why my water powers maybe because I am sorta immortal now.
I get to central park and find a nice secluded part of the park, trying to avoid as many people as possible. Cause face it, a little girl walking alone in a dangerous city, probably a good way to be brought into the police station til my parents get back if they dont put me in the system first. While trying to relax to work on my powers I see a group of teens dressed in all black with... Are those weapons? Maybe they are demi-gods. I should leave them alone, they might be on a quest.
I relax and focus on the plants around me. I can feel the water in the plants but not the plants themselves, maybe I need to focus more. After a few minutes I think I almost have it, but I am interrupted by a loud roar.
Minotaur
I am finally free again, I am starving and can't wait to find a tasty demi-god to eat. Maybe I can find that dann sea spawn that keeps killing me. He always smells delicious.
I am walking through this strange mortal city trying to find the smell of a yummy half blood when I catch a mouth watering smell from in the park.
Following the smell leads me to this little girl sitting on the ground. That is strange. I thought that sea brat was a boy and a lot older, but that scent is definitely him or her I guess. That is strange though it has a slight underworld aura but it isn't strong enough to be Hades' kid. Normally I would stay away from any underworldly child but not this brat, she has killed me too many times. I will eat her and have my revenge.
Enough thinking, more eating, I let out a loud Roar and charged at the brat. Right before I hit my yummy meal it disappears. I let out another roar of anger and turned to look for that brat. I see her standing with the sword that has ended my life many times before.
'Maybe I should find another easier demi-god to eat first' I think in the back of my head. It is too late to think, only action matters now.
I charge again this time the brat doesn't move, she is frozen. Perfect. Right as I am about to hit here she slides between my legs and stabs me through the back. Causing me to black out.
Next thing I know I am back in Tartarus slowly reforming. Damn it I got a slow spot this time it will probably take years to reform in this spot. Well at least I won't feel hunger til I am reformed. But I will kill that sea brat one day.
Perci
I am so glad that I can still fight in this little body, I actually think it might be easier. Maybe it is because of partial immortality.
I think that is enough trying to use my new powers. Maybe I should wait till I have to go visit my new mom and aunt/grandma Demeter. For now maybe I show head home, and hopefully avoid my monsters.
Poseidon
Sally and her husband Paul are on their honeymoon so I decide to go check on how Percy is doing. He has been alone in his apartment for 3 days, and Persephone asked my permission to 'adopt' Percy and I wanna see if she did. I hope so, because I won't have to lose my precious child anytime soon.
I am also slightly worried about him. Being alone. Chaos knows how much trouble he has gotten into. I hope his apartment building is at least standing.
I arrive outside and am relieved to see not only it standing but in one piece. I knock on the apartment door and hear a muffled "Go Away". I sigh knowing my son won't get up no matter how much I knock. He can be really lazy when he wants to be. Sally insists he gets it from me.
I mist travel onto the other side of the door, I would flash in but I don't want to accidentally kill him. I see he wrapped up in a big blanket laying face down on a pillow snoring softly. I didn't know he still snores. I thought he grew out of that when he was 11. Yes I would visit my son when he was little and even while sleeping when he got older, no it isn't creepy, he is my son and I care about him being safe, sue me.
I whisper gently, "Percy, wake up, kiddo." He makes a grumbling growl noise reply but not moving. I sigh and shake him a little. " Wake up, Percy." He moves and I hear him grumbling something about no respect- sleep- cookies- gods- Hercules- and Pineapples? What? What is going on in his dreams?
Still softly grumbling he looks up at my a grumpily says "waht, dad?" It is then I notice something wrong.
I mean this is definitely Percy, I can sense his aura anywhere. (no I am not keeping tabs on him, please I am a god I have better things... Okay I am but only slightly.) Instead of a grumpy almost 18 year old boy glaring at me, I have a 7 maybe 8 year old little girl glaring at me like I killed her pony.
Through my shock I managed to say, "Percy? What happened to you?" He, well I guess it is she now, just glares for a moment longer before huffing softly and sitting up.
Despite my son being a girl I am actually quite happy. I have always wanted a demigod daughter, and now it seems I have one, even if it was done... None traditionally. In an adorable child-like voice I get an answer, "Apparently, being a girl and a small child are side effects of Persephone adopting, and blessing me. Even she was surprised."
The way he/she struggles to say curtain letters when speaking just makes it even more cute. I have to stop myself from cooing at it. "Does your mom know yet?" I ask.
Percy shakes his/ her head making the curls in his/ her hair bounce slightly. "I was gonna wait til she came back, but I am worried because I am a child alone in New York that doesn't look good when I need to get something."
I can't help the grin that spreads on my face, "You can stay with me in Atlantis." I say. "Also to you wanna still be called a boy, or called a girl?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.
He/she looks deep in thought, " I guess a girl, I mean I am and it will make it easier to adjust. I mean this is my body, til I somehow manage to get killed." My little girl answers.
Making me smile and pulling her into a tight hug. "Also, I guess I will stay with you till mom comes back, but I promised to spend the day with Persephone and Demeter on Saturday."
I swear my face is going to split by how big I am smiling right now. "That is great, and of course you can go. I am not gonna stop you. You are free to come and go as you please. I will even teach you to mist travel so it is easier." I say.
This causes an adorable little squeal to escape her, "Thank You so, so, so much daddy." She says while squeezing the life out of me. But she abruptly pulls away, "Sorry, I mean I really appreciate that, father." She says playing with a piece of her hair nervously.
I chuckle, "It is okay sweetie. I don't mind, you don't have to be so formal." I say standing up, still holding her. "I quite like having a little daughter to love and spoil, now prepare yourself I am going to flash us to Atlantis." She nods and squeezes her eyes shut and buries her face in my shoulder.
I flash us to my palace and send people to prepare a room for her. I can't wait to see the councils face when they see little percy. Even better Zeus when he realizes my child can now live with me and not go against his stupid rules.
