ΠΡΩΤΑΘΛΗΤΗΣ ΤΟΥ ΦΕΓΓΑΡΙΟΥ
CHAMPION OF THE MOON
-PERCY-
"PERSEUS JACKSON!" Poseidon announced. My name echoed around the chamber.
De já vu much?
All talking died down. The room went silent, except for the constant crackle of the hearth. Everyone's eyes were on me; all the gods, the Demigods... the Cyclopes and the spirits.
I walked into the middle of the Throne room. Hestia smiled at me reassuringly. She was in her favored form now, one of a young girl. She seemed content to be sitting by her Fire again, the innocence of young form was back, and she no longer looked haunted as she had during the war, waiting for her family to return, wondering if they even would. The first and perhaps most important sign that Olympus was on the road to recovery...
Her smile gave me courage to keep walking.
First I bowed to Zeus, and then I knelt at my father's feet.
"Rise, my son," Poseidon said.
I stood uneasily.
"A great hero must be rewarded," Poseidon said. "Is there anyone Here who would deny that my son deserves the gift?"
I waited for someone to pipe up. The gods never agreed on anything, and many of them still didn't like me, but not a single one protested.
"The Council agrees," Zeus said. "Percy Jackson, you will have one Gift from the gods."
I hesitated. "Any gift?"
Zeus nodded grimly. "I ask you again will you become a god"
I thought back to the Titan war, Annabeth died in the titan war.
FLASHBACK
Poryphrion pointed his spear at me its tip crackling with electricity, I closed my eyes waiting for the inevitable, I heard the bang, the sharp crackle of electricity and the resounding crash that followed. But I felt no pain. Opening my eyes I saw, Poryphrion had his spear pointed away from me, and as I followed the path of destruction. I saw a crater where Annabeth had been standing. Where she had been standing... Emphasis on 'had been'.
But this was Annabeth right? She could be invisible, she was a daughter of Athena, surely she would have had the sense to move!
But I realized that if I couldn't dodge a blow from his spear…
She had no chance.
Now all that was left was a mass of blood and guts.
My eyes started to water, I needed revenge.
I charged at Porpoise fearlessly. Any self preservation I may have had dies with Annabeth. Raising Riptide above my head, with Frost bite angled forward just in front of my chest. Frostbite was a new sword I created out of water, freezing it and enchanting it so it never melted. It had a crystal diamond like thing at the tip of the hilt. Its blue blade curves at the tip of the sword. There were engravings on the place where the hilt and blade meet.
So overall it looked Awesome.
I stabbed with Frost bite and slashed with Riptide. Then switched, and then again. Poryphrion tried to swing his spear, but was unable to I was just too close and he was just too brainless. I continued to hack-n-slash at Poryphrion. Fueled by rage I let go of all my control letting my power rage free and run rampant. I drew the water to me, unconsciously creating a body from it, one to match mine, except for the fact that it was several times larger and of course. I stood at the center of it. .
I raised the huge version of Riptide above my head. Releasing all the power inside me I stabbed Poryphrion in his heart.
Ichor poured from his wound in torrents as he fell to the ground. Poseidon took his trident Zeus electrocuted it and Hades covered it with a black aura emanating death, making it an embodiment of the powers of the big three. With this he stabbed Poryphrion.
I by then had gone back to normal, well to as normal as I could be considering circumstances.
"Well…I guess we won" I said and promptly passed out… How very heroic of me!
FLASHBACK END
"Yes" I said I was met with more than one blank look.
"I accept" I confirmed, after all, what was left to tie me to the mortal world now?
The gods got off their thrones and formed a circle around me; chanting in ancient Greek.
Suddenly I heard a powerful echoing voice chant over them:
'Peruses Jackson, Born from the Sea,
The thirteenth Olympian he shall be,
he rules the tides, earthquakes and seas
the heart of Moon Goddess he'll seize"
The trance on the Olympians wore off, "what you God are of?" Dad asked
"Um... The tides, earthquakes and seas I guess" I said
"Nice" said Apollo
-Aphrodite-
I waited for that one question; I knew there was a spark between Percy and Artemis. Probably a crush,
So finally when Poseidon asked, "so, where will you stay till your palace is built
, and who will teach you how to be a god?"
I perked up, "ooooh oooooh" I jumped up, ready to make use of the occasion.
"Yes Aphy?" Athena asked.
"How about he stays with the hunt" I said "Artemis can teach him how to be a god since he only needs to improve his archery…" Hah! They couldn't argue with that!
