Story start
Third POV
The realm of Asgard was bustling with activity. Unlike the usual feeling of joy and excitement that the city was known for, now only nervousness and acceptance could be seen on their faces. Considering the circumstances, this was expected, as only a month was left, before their realms faded out of existence. Ragnarok was inevitable.
Suddenly, a blood curdling feminine scream of pain was heard across the realm. At first, the citizens thought that someone was dying, but the next sound caused a sigh of relief and smile amongst the people. It was the cry of a newborn. It was even louder than the first scream of it's mother. Only one thought occurred into the minds of the people. ' Our lady has given birth .'
Line break
A couple walked hand in hand towards the largest palace in Asgard. The man had the posture and physique of a true warrior, a commander at that. He was 6'6 tall with bulging muscles. His blond hair were long and untamed. It looked as if he had just woken up. He had startling royal blue eyes, hardened from all the battles he had seen.
The lady, on the other hand was beautiful to say the least. Standing at 5'11, she had soft yellow eyes, that held mirth in them. Long black hair Cascaded down her shoulders . She wore a simple white dress. Even though she had just given birth, she still managed to look beautiful.
She carried a small baby wrapped in a blue bundle in her hand. The baby boy had a loud voice, just like it's father. He also had similar royal blue eyes, the only difference was that whereas the man had completely blue eyes, the child had yellow colour to his sclera, making him look extremely cute, but also dangerous. He had raven black tufts of hair like his mother . The baby was sleeping soundly , not a care for the activity happening around him.
As the trio entered the main halls of the palace, they saw two men present there.
An old man was seated on a huge throne in the centre of the room. He was in his late seventy's . He wore an eye patch on his right eye. But the other eye showed the wisdom that the man possessed. He had a regal look on his face, but a small smile played on his lips. The smile increased when he saw his youngest grandson sleeping in his mother's arms. The man knew everything about the boy's destiny. It was hard, painful and tiring, but in the end , the boy would emerge victorious. The boy would be even greater than his father.
The other person standing in the room was about the same age as the man who had just entered. But whereas the first man was a warrior, this man was more of a politician. He had a tongue of silver. Just a look in his golden eyes could tell you not to go against him. He stood at 6'3. He would not harm you violently, but the mischievousness in his eyes told you that what he would do for payback would be much worse.
But now, his usually mischievous eyes held a rare warmth in them . When he set eyes on the baby in the woman's arms, a tear of happiness dropped from his eyes. But he quickly wiped it away with his hands and pretended that he was rubbing his sweat away.
The couple walked towards the centre of the room, stopping ten feet from the throne of the old man and bowed down to him. The old man gestured for them to stand and spoke in a voice befitting a king, " Thor, my son . I see that Lady Sif has given birth. It is indeed a pleasure to meet my youngest grandson."
The man, now identified as Thor,rose with a proud smile on his face. The lady beside him, known as Sif, also rose with a grin on her face. Thor spoke with an equally authoritative voice, "Yes father. About an hour ago, Sif gave birth to our fourth and youngest child, Perseus."
The old man nodded while smiling gently. The man with the golden eyes , however was confused. " Brother, congratulations on your son. But why have you given him a Greek name?"
The old man, who was none other than Odin, the all- father answered for Thor." It is because I asked him to do so , Loki." The man now recognized as Loki seemed surprised, but accepted it.
Odin's expression suddenly turned serious.
" Thor, Sif, I know that you do not want to be separated from your child, but it is the only way to ensure his survival. And he needs to survive for the legacy of Asgard to carry on.". Thor looked as if someone had impaled him with a knife , whereas his wife just started crying softly. But both of them nodded nonetheless.
" Father if I may ask, what is this about? How will Perseus survive, when we are destined to fade in a month? Even you can't fight against fate itself, right?" Loki asked.
" Son, you are right. We are destined to fade in a month, but Perseus here has a different destiny. I have seen it myself. He is destined to do many great things. But for that , he will have to be sent away from Asgard."
Loki nodded, sad at the thought of spending less time with his nephew, but happy that his nephew will survive.
Thor asked the question which was present in all of their minds, " But father, where will we send him? Won't all nine realms be destroyed?"
Odin smiled and shook his head ." No . Eight out of nine realms will be destroyed. Midgard will remain, as all links from Asgard to Midgard have been destroyed. "
Realization passed through the faces of the other three gods. But then it settled on uneasiness. Sif was the one to break the uncomfortable silence, " But Lord Odin, won't the Greek gods kill Perseus when they realize he is Norse, added that he is an immortal son of Thor and Sif?"
" Zeus will surely try to kill him, but I have someone in their council who owes me many favours. "
Loki spoke up, " Who is it , father?"
The all- father answered, "Poseidon, god of seas , and Zeus's big brother. The strongest Olympian on the council. "
Thor nodded with a huge grin on his face. After all, Poseidon was like a little brother to him. He reminded him of a little more serious Loki. He remembered the friendly arguments he had with Poseidon about whose domain was better. Poseidon was the only Olympian other than Hestia, who knew about the Norse gods.
Loki nodded in satisfaction at his father's answer. He had heard a lot about Poseidon from his older brother. He actually looked forward to meeting the Greek god .
Sif remained impassive about it. She was only worried about her son at the moment.
Seeing that his sons had accepted the fact , the all -father closed his eyes and used a huge amount of power to establish a portal for one person from Midgard to reach Asgard.
After a few moments, a bright flash of light signalled the arrival of the Greek sea god.
Once the light died down, there stood a man about 6'2 in height. He had raven black hair and sea green eyes. He also had a small stubble. He wore a Hawaiian shirt and some shorts. As soon as he realized that he had been transported somewhere, he immediately summoned a trident and got into a fighting stance. But as his eyes landed on Thor, they widened dramatically before a huge grin spread across his lips. He ran forward and embraced his best friend in a huge hug. Thor was like a mentor to him. He always looked up to Thor.
Once they were done with their welcomes, the all- father cleared his throat, an amused expression on his face. Poseidon noticed the powerful god and immediately dropped down into a deep bow. He knew that the all- father was incredibly powerful. His power was equivalent to the power of seven primordials combined. Thor himself was as powerful as three primordials combined. Nothing less than Chaos himself would be able to defeat Odin.
Odin just chuckled at his thoughts and asked him to stand.
" Lord Odin, not that it is not nice to see you, but why have I been summoned here?"
Thor then explained to him the whole situation about how the other eight realms were fading. Poseidon was barely able to keep his tears at bay as he hugged Thor again. " I will miss you Thor. You were always like a big brother and mentor to me."
Thor nodded and whispered soothing words in his little brother's ears. Once Poseidon calmed down, he turned to Loki and extended his hand towards him." I am Poseidon, Greek god of the seas . You must be Loki, it is a pleasure to finally meet you. Thor has told me much about you."
Loki grinned back at him while shaking his hands. As soon as his hand made contact with Poseidon's, a shock of electricity ran through the sea god's body. Loki burst out laughing while Thor and Odin chuckled at his antics. Once Poseidon regained his bearings, he turned to Sif. He bowed his head to her. " You must be lady Sif. Thor has spoken highly of you. Glad to see he wasn't over exaggerating. You would easily give Aphrodite a run for her money. "
Sif smiled back at him and thanked him for his compliment. Poseidon then turned to the all -father. " Are you sure that you don't have ADHD, Poseidon? " The all -father asked while chuckling.
The god of the seas flushed in embarrassment and shook his head, muttering an apology for getting distracted.
"We have called you here for a very important reason. This will be a favour to us if you help us, Poseidon." Odin spoke.
Poseidon immediately responded, " Anything for you, Lord Odin. I owe my life to you . And please, this is no favour. You are like a father to me."
Odin smiled at the young God gently . " My boy, I want you to adopt my grandson. His name is Perseus. He is the youngest, yet most powerful son of Thor and Sif. Will you do it?"
Poseidon didn't even hesitate for a second.
" Yes, Lord Odin. I will adopt him and love him like my own son. Any son of Thor is like a son to me."
Thor smiled at his little brother when he heard this. He slowly walked towards the crib where Perseus was sleeping. He gently picked his son up and kissed him on the forehead. This woke his son up, who gave a loud giggle at the sight of his father. Thor handed the boy to Odin. Odin placed a hand over the boy's forehead and muttered an incantation in a language so old, that only Buri, Odin's father could decipher it. Perseus glowed golden for a second before his aura faded .
" What have you done, my Lord?" Sif asked while panicking.
" Relax , daughter-in-law . I have only hidden his aura. He will be able to access his powers from you both when the time is right. Also, he will be a mortal till he turns sixteen. "
Sif and Thor were not happy that their son was now mortal, but knew that it had to be done.
Poseidon then stepped forward and spoke in ancient Greek, " I , Poseidon, Lord of the seas, earthquakes and horses, adopt Perseus, son of Thor and Sif as my own son. From now , he will also be a son of the sea."
A sea green aura surrounded Perseus. When he next opened his eyes, they were same, except for the sea green ring around the irises. Now his eyes looked like feathers of a peacock, just a million times more beautiful.
Odin then turned to Poseidon. " I will teleport the boy to your palace in twenty eight days from now. Till then, he will stay with his parents here. " Poseidon nodded and bowed one last time to the all-father. He then gave a small hug to Thor, and waved towards Sif and Loki. He was then enveloped in a bright flash as he was teleported by the all -father. Odin looked really tired .
" I will only be able to do that once more now. If anyone else had tried it except for Thor, they would have faded. But even Thor can do it only once. And I know the proper time when he will use it. Unfortunately, we will have faded by then. " The others nodded to this. Odin then dismissed them.
This boy was something special. Even though Odin knew everything about the boy's destiny, he was not sure about it. The boy was unpredictable.
That's when he realized why he was not sure. Dread filled his mind as he thought about it.
The boy was out of Fates grasp. Fate had no control over him. Which meant that either the boy would bring peace to Midgard,...or destroy it .
What the outcome would be, only time could tell. But one thing Odin was sure of , was that Asgard's legacy would go on.

I have noticed that votes regarding Annabeth are conflicting. Many people want her in the harem, but an equal number of people are against the idea of her being in the harem. So, in the next chapter, I will announce another poll. If Annabeth is in the top 6 or 7 and you want her in the harem, comment yes. If you do not want her in the harem, comment no. Thank you.
