The Traveling Night: a Harry Potter/Percy Jackson Crossover Fanfiction
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and the Olympians or any of their respective characters. They belong to the wonderful people that created them whether it is by train or something else (which are true with J. k. Rowling). Nor do I own either of these challenge ideas. They alone belongs to DZ2, a rather delightful author.
Plot: Twice-Blessed Half-Blood Challenge Response as well as a mix with parts of DZ2's 'My Immortal Past' challenge: Those gods that have faded after they're believers forgot them have been reincarnated time and time again, only to remember some of who they were while they waited to be reborn once more. Lily Potter nee Evans was once such goddess, but having already died two unnatural deaths centuries before, she has become her true self. Harry Potter, meanwhile, is in a dilemma. His name came out of the goblet of fire and is forced to compete. Will he find help at Camp Half-Blood? Alternatively, will he be left behind once they discover whom his mother is? In addition, why does he dream of sacrifices being left on an alter and people being sacrificed to others?
Author's note: I know you people are probably mad about me doing another story when I have several others, but this one seems like a good challenge of my skills. Don't worry; I will still work on my other stories as well.
Challenge Information: DZ2's 'Harry the Twice-Blessed Half-Blood' Challenge: a Harry Potter/Percy Jackson (of Heroes of Olympus) crossover: every Half-blood has one god-parent. However, Harry is different because of one reason: through the ways of the divine, he has more than one god for a parent/guardian.
DZ2's 'My Immortal Past' Challenge. After being exposed to the Dementors at the end of Prisoners of Azkaban, an ancient seal within Harry begins to unlock. Now, with darkness looming and dangers ahead, our favorite Gryffindor discovers a forgotten past.

Prologue~
Lily watched with a small smile as James used his wand to create small bubbles for their young son, Harry, to play with. For several days, she had had a feeling that something was going to happen and that this would be the last time she saw her son for years. Lily shook her head and began to tidy up the living room, keeping an eye on the two. Out of the corner of her eye, Lily saw James leap to his feet, eyes wide in fear.
"Lily, it's him! Take Harry and run!" James said, snatching up his wand. He knew that it was only a matter of time before that monster, Voldemort, would find him. He just didn't think that one of their friends would be the one to betray them. 'I should've known,' James thought as he saw Lily escape up the stairs with Harry in his arms. 'Professor McGonagall always did say that a person's animagus form reflected their true self.' He snorted. 'It's sad that I'll be leaving this form behind, but I've done as much as I can to help Harry. Dad be damned if I let anything bad happen to him,' James, or as he was really called, Hermes thought. Taking a deep breath, he prepared to defend himself and his family as the front door exploded inwards.

Lily was in Harry's room, quickly setting up a rune array around her son's crib as she heard the fighting downstairs. She had put several heavy pieces of furniture in front of the door, even though she knew they wouldn't keep the self-styled dark lord out for long. "Hang on, Harry," Lily said as she let drip one drop of blood onto the runes, starting the activation process. They would call on the help of the goddess Trivia to protect her son should she die.
She turned quickly when the door was blasted open, standing in front of my son. "Not Harry, please not Harry!" she pleaded with the mad man in front of her.
The robed figure laughed as he gave her three chances to move before striking her down with the Killing Curse. Shielding his eyes as an odd silvery light shown from her downed body, he moved to the crib and the babe in it. He lifted his wand to kill the one that was said to be able to defeat him and just as the sickly green light approached Harry, a pale gold light stopped it in its tracks. It was sent back with such force that Tom Riddle's body disintegrated, leaving behind only his cloak, wand, and the crying form of Harry Potter in his crib, a small cut on his forehead forming a lightning bolt.

(Twelve years later, Hogwarts Medical Ward)
Harry and Hermione looked at Ron as they had just watched Sirius fly off into the night on Buckbeak to freedom. Harry shook his head as Ron started asking Hermione how the two of them had been in two different places at once. On the back of his neck, a small seal in the shape of an eagle began to disintegrate, glowing softly.
Author's note: Whew that was a doozy of a prologue. I had to keep looking through different religions to find one I felt the most comfortable with. I partly blame the idea of which god he is the reincarnation of on the old Animal Planet show 'Lost Tapes' as well as an old show that had been on PBS kids that isn't on anymore. Sorry if this seems to suck, but I wanted to try and finish this so that I can soon start on the first full chapter. Peace out!
