The Labors of Perseus
A/N: Hey, everyone I hope that you have had a good day. This betrayal story will be different in the way that it isn't Percy's half brother being an ass rather something else that I cooked up. This will have underused gods and goddess and will be darker than most of the other betrayal stories. Last thing is that Artemis will be in the pairing but it won't be the usual Guardian of the Hunt plot and that some characters will OCC
Percy POV:
It was a few months after the war and I finally got the guts to ask Athena for Annabeth's hand in marriage. I had already asked Frederick if I could get his blessing to which he said yes then we asked when to expect grandchildren (one of the most embarrassing moments in my life).
I was walking across Olympus wondering why they didn't reward us after the Giant War, I mean I was fine without any reward but it seemed a bit unfair that we saved their butts again and not even a thanks. I put it up to Zeus not wanting to give something that would be against his paranoid ways. Anywho I had reached Athena's temple after a bit of hesitation I knocked on the door.
I should have mentioned that it was nine in the morning and that goddesses also have the tragedy known as bed head. Her normally straightened down hair was in all different directions and instead of her normal armor that she seemed to where everywhere she had a grey onesie with owls. It made her seem strangely normal but before I could think anything else she noticed who was at her door and quickly snapped her fingers and changed into a simple grey t-shirt and jeans but she seemed to forget about her hair.
"Um, Athena you kinda have bed head," I told her and wide-eyed she snapped her fingers again and her hair straightened.
"You will never mention that if you know what's good for you. Now, what did you want to wake me up at this ungodly hour," She said taking me into her place, I also shook my head at the irony of her sentence.
"I wanted to ask you if I could marry Annabeth," I said sitting down on one of the couches.
She raised an eyebrow "Did you ask Fredrick for his blessing?"
I straightened and patted myself on the back for remembering "Yes, I did can I have yours?" Wincing on how demanding that sounded. Instead of smiting me, she gave me a full-blown grin.
"Can I get you water or something?" She asked moving into the kitchen. I was so baffled I subconsciously asked for water. She placed the water on the coffee table in front of me, I took a sip before asking the question on my mind.
"Athena, was that a yes?" I asked.
"It will be if you do some tasks to prove that you're worthy," She stated.
"Excuse me," I said not sure if I heard correctly, she did know that I fell into Tartarus to save her right?
"That you will have some tasks for me if you want my blessing."
"Isn't falling to Tartarus enough," I asked politely not saying the curses that were on the tip of my tongue.
"It did prove your love to her and that saved you from doing the original twelve that I was going to have you do, and a relationship isn't just about love," She said taking a sip of the nectar that she got for herself.
"You were going to have me do the labors of Heracles," Taking all of my willpower to not curse like a sailor right then and there. Fun fact, apparently being descending from Poseidon gives you a sailor's mouth.
"Yes, but then I realized that you did most of them unintentionally and it would be more fun to do something original. I was going to have you do six but you can do three, consider this your thanks for helping Annabeth down there," She replied, sending a grateful look towards me at the end.
Seeing that I would have do these tasks and that I wouldn't get a better deal "What do I have to do?"
"Once you finish one of your labors then I'll tell you the next one, but here's a hint look for the third child of Medusa," She said with an encouraging smile. Before I could say anything she snapped her fingers and I appeared in a desert.
After wandering around for a bit I found I was in the Sonoran Desert. It was kinda nice, it was currently spring so the temperature was not that bad and the cacti weren't that annoying. It wasn't until I just relaxing I felt something on my back.
It was a sea-green backpack. It took it off and it seemed to have more space than it looked. It had a green square that had a sticky note that said TENT, two canteens of water, one canteen of nectar, some trail mix and other snacks, and lastly what looked to be tools to cut open an animal. Weird.
After putting back on I tried to remember the children of Medusa. There was the Pegasus but I guess he wouldn't be in a place like this and there Chrysaor wouldn't be in a desert since the last time I saw him he was a boat and I didn't even know that she had a third kid.
Not knowing where the hell to go I simply went north hoping that I would find whatever I would need to find and hoping I could finish it quick enough to get to Annabeth.
Timeskip:
It had reached nightfall and I found a place to set up the tent. It was on the top of a hill and didn't have that much shrubbery so I put up the tent. It was nicely colored, sea-green with black stripes. It was like a hunters tent bigger on the inside (Thalia took me into her's once and then Artemis saw me and thought the worst and well I barely made it out of there alive). It had a bedroll and a table as well as some extra space to put my own stuff. I sat down and ate some of the jerky, I made a mental note to thank Athena for this, and I went to sleep.
I had barely fallen asleep when I heard the howls. I got up slowly while taking out Riptide. I was about to peek my head out when I felt the ground rumble slightly and the Hellhounds I guessed were outside started whimpering until nothing, no noise at all. I uncapped Riptide and went out. There were a few piles of gold dust but there were also bloody remains of coyotes. That wasn't what caught my eye instead it was the ten-foot-tall snake eating the remains.
Hoping that I could take it out quietly but that was where it all went wrong. I stepped on a dry shrub. I stiffened hoping that it didn't hear it. When it continued eating I almost let out a sigh of relief but I was wrong, it's tail was slowly moving towards me. I was about to cause an earthquake to make to confuse it and then go for the kill but then on the corner of my eye, I saw something red. At that moment I remembered the third child. It was the Amphisbaena, the first one being born after the blood of Medusa's head fell on the Libyan Desert, The Two-Headed Snake.
It was pure luck that I avoided the bite. The other head thought that it was satisfied with the coyote and that I would be much tastier and turned around to look at me. Now looking at I could see it much more, the heads were at least large enough to take my torso right off my legs, each fang was about the size of my forearm with poison dripping down and lastly the horns on the top of each of heads. Did I mention the red eyes staring at me?
After a few seconds of intense staring, it decided that I was a threat and lunged at me. I sidestepped and slashed at its head and I managed to cut off a few of its horns as well as a cut on the head. It shrieked while the other head tried to trip me but instead I jumped on the head and stabbed it. In hindsight, it was not the best idea. It started slithering away to try and shake me off but I had a study grip on Riptide. The head that I climbed up on was hitting itself against the rocks and bushes, it would have been funny if I was not in danger of falling. When it stopped slithering I guess to try and bit me I stabbed its head and it turned into dust.
I just laid there trying to calm down. Once I caught my breath, I looked and saw the skin of the snake, the horns that I had cut off which were three, and a few chunks of meat. That last one was strange out of all the Spoils of War that I had gotten there was never meat, simply shrugging and picking them up while wondering what snake meat tastes like.
After realizing that when on the Amphisbaena it took me quite a bit away. I started walking back to my tent while thinking back to the battle. I guessed that it was the original one since the size of the thing. I had also heard that if you wore the snakeskin of an amphisbaena it would cure you of any sickness so that would be handy. I guess I could put the horns next to my Minotaur horn. There was something about the meat too but I couldn't put my finger on it. Looking at the full moon I felt stronger but I shrugged it off and continued walking up the hill where my tent was.
I had made it in my tent without dropping anything to which I gave myself a mental pat on the back for. I had noticed there was now a mini-fridge so I put the meat in there and put the horns and the skin on the table. Laying down on the bedroll, I reached into my pocket I got the picture I had of Annabeth sitting on the beach looking at the sea, I smiled fondly at while thinking up ring designs. All for you was my last thought before I few asleep.
When I woke up I was on a bed with grey sheets so I was of course on alert. I had gotten out of the blankets when I realized that I had grey pj's on so that meant that someone had changed me involuntary shiver. I uncapped Riptide and opened the door and saw Athena on a couch reading a book, unfortunately, my ADHD got the best of me "Who changed me?" Wide-eyed I put my hand on the mouth.
She kept my gaze for a few seconds until she started laughing, no laughing isn't the right word more like high school girl giggling. If she didn't have her traditional suit of armor I wouldn't be sure that it was Athena. When she stopped giggling she looked back at me and I noticed that her eyes for once weren't tactical and blank but instead, they were filled with mirth. "Gods you really are a Seaweed Brain. Anyways I'm surprised you found the Amphisbaena that quickly, your also welcome to keep the backpack and the tent." She said after snapping her fingers and my grey pj's were replaced with a black shirt and jeans, I would have sworn that she said "Even with godly magic I still can't fix your hair."
"So what is my next task."
She raised an eyebrow "You want to go already? I would have thought you would want some rest."
"I'm ready. Plus I feel a lot stronger after the fight anyways."
Her smile faded into a frown "Was it a full moon last night when you killed it?"
"Yes, why?"
"Not important but look for your half-sister," She said as she snapped and I appeared in a forest on the outskirts of a city. I found that I had the backpack on and I checked for what was in it, it was mostly the same as last time but except I had more food and some squares of ambrosia and matches. Closing it, I went west of the city.
After about an hour of wandering, I found a newspaper and found that I was in Ohio and that there have been children missing in the city that I passed. Frowning I put in my backpack in cause I would need it to make a fire I noticed some strange tracks northeast of where the newspaper was. I followed the tracks for a good while until I decided that it was time to stop for the night.
I put down the tent and gathered some firewood and put the newspaper in the pile and started the fire. I contemplated cooking the Amphisbaena meat but decided against it and instead cooking some sausages on a stick. Watching the fire burn I thought back on what Athena said Look for your half-sister. It must have been from my dad's side since as far as I knew mom was having any kids soon. With that train of thought, I remembered that I hadn't seen or talked to my mom since that voicemail in Alaska Gods I'm the worst son ever. I made a silent vow to see her once I finished these tasks and surprise her with the ring.
After sacrificing a few hot dogs to the gods (Poseidon, Athena, and Aphrodite) I tried to think of my godly sisters. Rhode from what I heard was somewhere in Rhode Island, I didn't want to see Kymopoleia again, from what I was told by Katie Despoina was somewhere in Kanas so that was a no, and Charybdis would not be in Ohio not a snowball's chance in Tartarus so who was I missing? As I tried to figure out who I was forgetting my eyes traveled back to the newspaper that was burning and it clicked. Children missing, weird tracks, half-sister I was hunting Lamia. And on that happy note, I finished eating the sausages and went to sleep.
Timeskip:
It had been a month since I first arrived. I almost lost track of the tracks once but found them again along with some blood which I assumed was a child's or some poor dude who got seduced. I was close running out of food but I caught a rabbit so that helped. I was about to enter my tent when I heard a kid scream, I ran full speed towards it hoping that Lamia had not eaten the kid yet.
I had reached a wooden hut but what I saw wasn't Lamia but still bad, some poor girl was getting raped. I punched the dude off of her and knocked him out and was going to leave him to rot but I had a much better idea. "Hey, you ok."
She sniffled "Get away from me."
"I'm not going to hurt you. What's your name, I have a camp nearby if you want to come I have some food,"
"My name's Eisley, please don't hurt me."
"Hey, Eisley how about you come to camp with me and you can meet a friend of mine,"
"You said you had food right and what's your name," She said rubbing her eyes and getting up.
"My names Percy and yeah I have some food," I said giving her a warm smile.
She followed me back to my camp but she did keep a bit of a distance to which I didn't blame her. Once we had arrived I got some of the spare rabbit and started cooking it while she told me how she got there. I also got to see her well. She had brown hair and light blue eyes and was 9 years old that simple fact made me want to go and attack the rapist but I had a better idea. She also lived only with her dad who was a nice person but had a short temper and often got angry at her mischievous nature and eventually she got the hint that she wasn't wanted and ran away. That was a week ago and she found the man when she was looking for food, he gave her a piece of fruit and then he pushed her against the wall and then before he could do anything I arrived. I was going to say something but a flash interrupted me, when looked back up the was intertwining snakes above her head I guess that symbol is universal. "Um, Percy what is this," Eisley said trying to swat it away with her hands.
"Eisley what's your last name," I asked in a completely neutral voice, I guess she will join the hunters after all.
"Harper, why Percy what is this," She asked a scared voice Damnit, Percy this is not the time to make her scared.
"Eisley, calm down. What do you know of the Greek gods," I asked her as she took deep breaths.
"A bit and how is this relevant," She asked, something else that I found out with our little chat she was sarcastic and straight to the point.
"Well you are a child of a goddess specifically the child of Ate goddess of mischief and delusion," As well as a few others, you are too young to know about.
Suddenly looked alarmed "I'm not going into your crazy cult okay," She looked ready to bolt any second but unfortunately that was not what happened.
"Yes, brother she not going to join your crazy cult," Lamia said as she slithered out of the trees.
"Though I must thank you found the girl I was looking for. I never have eaten mischief spawn I wonder how you'll taste," She said in a husky voice licking her lips.
"Eisley get inside the tent and why can't you have a shirt on?" I said as Eisley to shocked to say something back walked in the tent.
"But then how would I seduce men then little brother," Slithering slightly closer while putting her hands on her hips and pushing her chest out.
"First of all welcome to the twenty-first century, no one says seduce anymore just say I'm going to ride you like a train much more modern language and second of all you could meet them at a bar get'm tipsy then you fuck them or in your case fuck then kill," I told her. I guess she was surprised but recovered quickly and just raised a delicate eyebrow.
"I'll keep that in mind little brother. I guess just going topless is a bit forward," She said. In the firelight I could see her features, she had long black hair reaching to her hips, sea-green eyes like mine, and of course her bosom that was left for the world to see. Remember Percy she is your sister I thought But doesn't that make it hotter though the more perversed part of my brain replied Shut up I told it.
"Well I guess we could have some fun before I eat your friend," She said putting both hands on my neck.
"We could have some fun," I replied stabbing her with Riptide instantly turning her into dust. I took a sec to calm down the perverted thoughts going through my head before calling Eisley.
"She's gone now. You can come out now," I told her.
She stepped out looking around then at the dust on the floor then at me "You're a son of Poseidon," She said wide-eyed.
"Yes, he is," Artemis said coming out of the woods.
"Is anyone else going to come out of the woods? And how long were you there?" I asked throwing my hands in the air.
"I got here when the girl got claimed. I sensed Lamia's presence and she was too much of a nuisance to be free. I must thank you Percy for killing it even if how you did it was a bit unorthodox," Artemis said with a frown at the end.
"Well tell that to the 13 kids she ate," I replied harshly.
"Wait who are you and did you just seduce Lamia," She said pointing at Artemis then at me.
"Well, that is man-hater extraordinaire Artemis and yes I did," I said somewhat proudly.
"Should you really be talking about her behind her back then," She asked nervously not wanting her new friend to get turned into a jackalope.
"No, he shouldn't but he's lucky that I like him a bit so that I don't kill now for being a man,"
"I knew you liked me Artemis, but anyways Eisley I guess you've heard about Artemis' Hunt," At her nod, I continued "Well how would you like to join them free immortality and all that jazz," I said.
"It isn't exactly free Percy you need to swear off romantic love with men to join, "Artemis scoffed.
"Oh yeah, Artemis, Eisley here was about to get raped before I stopped him. He's about a hundred meters away and she's nine," I said getting closer to her so that Eisley didn't get reminded.
"I will see him later but what were you doing here?" She asked gritting her teeth.
"Ask your sister. Eisley where do you want to go you can either you with Artemis here and join her hunt or you can you to a camp on Long Island for demigods like you," I asked kneeling to her height.
"I think I want to go with Artemis but will I be able to age I don't want to be a nine-year-old for the rest of my life and Percy are you a God?" She asked clearly nervous.
I chuckled "Nope, I have red blood running through my veins and if you excuse me I need to pack up."
"Why must you leave so quickly," Artemis asked.
"I was here because Athena sent me to kill the Lamia and now that's she's dead I have no more reason to stay here," I told her.
"I must have a talk with dear sister but good luck with your quest for Annabeth," Artemis said with a stoic look but I could see a hint of a smile on her face.
I sighed "How many know?"
"The majority of Olympus. Hermes found Athena watching you do your quest and well he's Hermes," Artemis said with a shake of her head.
"Well if Athena if watching me then, Athena, since I finished, can take me to my next quest place please," I yelled at the sky.
The only response I got was an owl perching on my head. My eye twitched and Artemis eyes shone with humor and Eisley just looked at the both of us in a combination of confusion and amusement. "Can you flash me to Olympus, Artemis."
"Fine, but only because of Eisley here," Artemis said with an eye roll.
I got my supplies and waved goodbye to Eisley and appeared in front of Artemis' temple. As I walked through Olympus to get to Athena the majority of the gods that I past winked at me and slapped my shoulder saying congratulations but I just shrugged them off and said a half-assed thanks, did I mention that I still haven't slept yet?
When I had made it to Athena's temple I was not in the best of moods. I had barely managed to avoid the third group of fangirls asking about the wedding. "ATHENA if you don't open this damned door I will let all the fangirls in and trust me there's a lot of them," I half said and yelled while pounding on the door. I heard some fumbling and the door opened and a hand quickly pulled me in. "You will never do that or else I will make you do labors for the rest of your life," She said giving me a cold stare that would have been scary if not for the sleep mask covering her forehead and once again her grey onesie.
"Athena I'm going to sleep on your couch then you can give me all the tasks you want," I told her before falling asleep as my head hit the cushion.
Timeskip Morning:
I woke up to the smell of coffee, which made me realize that I was not in my tent. I got up warily and reached for Riptide "Coffee," I turned around and saw Athena in her usual armor with a coffee mug in her hands as well as another on the counter "I figured you would want coffee before I sent you on your last labor."
I went over and took a sip of the coffee, I nearly spat it out in surprise. It tasted like coffee but it also tasted like my mom's blue cookies, I guessed it was a mixture of coffee and nectar. "So what am I going to do, send me to fight Ladon, train with the Amazons, or make me stay with the hunt?" I asked, an involuntary shiver at the end. I had thought up on the things Athena could have me do during my hunt for Lamia
She raised an eyebrow "Not even Heracles could fight Ladon, the Amazons honestly like you so that wouldn't work, and I believe Annabeth cannot marry a corpse."
I finished my coffee "Fine then what am I going to do?"
For the first time in the conversations I've had with Athena, an evil smirk appeared "Well you'll be going Circe's Island Linny."
"Was that a Wonderpets reference? Wait WHAT?"
"You heard me," I could see that she was enjoying this.
Seeing that I wouldn't escape this "How long am I going to be there?"
"Five months. Don't worry I already sent a letter to Annabeth saying that you are doing tasks for me when you left to look for Lamia. I also made sure that no god would tell her or mention it out of Olympus." Another evil smirk appeared.
"I know I going to regret this but how?"
"I would release Artemis induced castration."
"That would work," I squeaked out.
"Well you finished your coffee time to go," She said as she snapped her fingers. Before I got flashed out I could hear Artemis scream "ATHENA, OPEN THE DOOR."
I appeared on the same beach I had washed up on with Annabeth. While I was cursing my luck the same lady with the clipboard appeared "Hello dear, is this your first time at C.C. Spa and Resort?"
"No, my second actually and if you could take me to Circe," I told her.
"Oh, ok then," She said shock portraying her features.
As we walked through what must have been the renovated island I saw that there was something new such as the arcade and the training arena. Heading up the stairs I heard someone talking to Circe "You will not charmspeak him. You will not turn him into a guinea pig or whatever you're turning men into these days."
As I entered, I saw Circe looking as she did before but with a scowl and there was a woman who had black hair with brown highlights and a simple white shirt and jeans as well with zero makeup while simple she took my breath away. Then I realized who she was, Aphrodite. "Swear it or I make all of your handmaidens fall in love with random fish," Aphrodite threatened.
Circe suddenly looked scared "You can't do that," But it sounded more like a question.
"Honey you haven't even seen my flames."
" I swear to the River Styx to not charmspeak or turn Perseus Jackson into an animal," Circe said as thunder boomed in the sky sealing the oath.
"Oh, I didn't see you there Percy, I hope to see you here later," Aphrodite said before she flashed out.
"I don't want you here anymore then you want to be here so just stick to the arcade and jack yourself to sleep or whatever you disgrace of a gender do," Circe said with a scowl as if not turning me into an animal was the most displeasing thing she could do.
"Ok then," I said surprised at her sheer boldness.
"Paige show him his room, please," Circe sighed out as a girl about my age came in through the door. She had red hair with blue eyes and seeing her wet hair and bikini she came out of the pool and then became apparent why Athena wanted me to stay here. Scowling I followed Paige to where my room was and noticed that there were fewer animals than last time, that brightened my mood a little. After taking several twists and turns we had made it to my room, it was somewhat simple a couch facing a TV, a marble countertop kitchen, a bed with white sheets, and of course the bathroom. When I turned back to Paige to thank her she had already left. Sighing, I went to the kitchen to finish up the designs on the ring Soon Annie I chuckled Don't call me Annie!.
Timeskip Two months:
My time in Circe's Island was oddly fun. The training area I was extremely grateful for since I was able to make sure that I didn't lose my touch and I think I may have improved. The arcade was also fun to be in after not being able to play video games for six years, unsurprisingly I was really good at Beat Saber. The women didn't try to seduce me every minute like I thought but instead kept there eyes on my body as I found out when I went swimming (which I didn't do again sadly for obvious reasons). I also got the final designs for the ring and I had planned when to ask her, the 28th of November.
However, my time of relaxation was coming to a close. One day when I was in the training arena fighting against the dummies that actually moved, Circe had came into the area, odd since she couldn't stand being within twenty feet of me but it looked like she was looking for something. Thinking she was going to make some misandrist remark I simply ignored her presence, what I didn't see was when her eyes landed on me said eyes nearly popped out her head. "So Circe what brings your divine presence to this lowly arena," I quipped.
Instead of saying something sexist, she surprised me "Tell me Perseus, have you ever done magic before?"
I looked incredulously "You do realize I'm not a child of Hecate right?"
"Answer the question," If I looked closely I could see she was slightly embarrassed.
"Well, I manipulated the Mist a couple of times, I had the Curse of Achilles, I also," I looked around to see if anyone else was in the arena, luckily there wasn't "I hosted Nekhbet once, and looking back at it I think I may have sent a ward at old step-father."
At the mention of Nekhbet, she flashed us at her office "You know of the Egyptians!"
"Yes and the Norse as well," I said rolling my eyes.
Eyes wide she asked, "Who else knows?"
"Only Annabeth."
Sighing she said "It was smart to keep it secret. I asked because I sensed a strong sense of magic, normally I would have ignored that as most often it's a sign of a goddess flashing but when I realized that there were no goddesses I traced it and saw that it was coming from you. My guess is that when Nekhbet left you, she left residential magic in you but strangely it's not Egyptian magic but rather Greek, perhaps the Greek magic in your body infused with the Egyptian," She mumbled to herself.
"How much magic exactly?" I asked
"Enough to rival some of the strongest children of Hecate and possibly Medea," She said.
"Just to clarify what do you mean by magic?" I asked, if I remembered correctly Hylla said that this island was also known as the School of Magic.
"Well, I guess an explanation is in order. There are two different types of magic Elemental and Neutral. When you manipulate water you are actually using Elemental magic, Neutral is the type of magic that you see with Hecate. Think of it like this Hecate is like a middle school student where they know a little of everything but then gods such as your father are college students researching one subject. I assume you know elements, well it's not common that a magician can have control of elements but a magician has never had the ability to control time or Chaos. Neutral, however, is different depending on the spell that you use have different effects from tracking an ant to being able to make objects appear so long as you have touched it. You to my knowledge are the first magician to have Elemental and Neutral magic veins in them," Seeing my confused look she explained "Normally an Elemental magician only has access to the elements that they have learned but when in use it takes a lot of energy as I'm sure you've felt but you can build stamina towards it. With a Neutral magician, they can have some access to the elements but only though some very difficult spells that take a lot of energy out of them, they can also build a stamina towards it but in no way close to real Elemental magic. WIth Neutral spells depending on the power of the spell the more it takes out of you in the same way that Elemental works you can build stamina. But with you being a mixture of both can summon elements without getting exhausted and you can use Neutral spells as well," She said in a near gleeful expression.
"So what now?" I asked.
"Well I can't just let a magician of your capabilities be taught by simple half-bloods and I fear that my usual teachers will not know what to do with you so it seems that I will have to teach you even if you are male," She said with a sigh but somehow she still looked excited about either teaching me or most likely torturing me by teaching me.
"When and where?" I asked knowing that this was my best chance to learn.
"Every day at 9 am in the arena," She said with a sadistic grin.
Third Person POV:
"Are the potions ready Aviana," A man said through a walkie talkie.
"They're close to finishing Al. It isn't easy to make enough potions for two camps," Aviana said inside of a small hut in the woods of Camp-Halfblood.
"Well you need to finish soon this is our best time to do it when he is gone. Our sources tell us that he will be on Circe's island for the next three months and do you have the seduction potion ready?"
"Yes and were taking a large bet with her but as an insurance policy, I managed to get some basilisk poison. If it doesn't work then she'll die and he'll be heartbroken but if it works then he'll see it and be heartbroken and even if he forgives her then she'll be dead anyway."
"Aviana I could kiss you right now."
"You would kiss your sister what would the gods think of you."
"Fuck you."
"Love you too Al, as for an update they should be ready in close to a month."
"Good, when there ready dispatch them to our allies in the Roman camp they should be the easiest to manipulate and you already know the rest."
"There might be a change in plans Al. Nico hasn't been sighted in either camp even before Percy left but Annabeth has been getting closer to a son of Hermes since Percy left. They seem to be merely platonic but here's the kicker it's Jake."
"You aren't fucking with me are you, she's getting closer to Jake of all people. I guess the stars really did align sis."
"Talk to you next week Al, love you.
"Love you too sis."
As the radio cut Aviana went to picture a table. It was a picture of a blond man with a scar on the left side of his face with strangely gold eyes, "All for you my love," She said as she kissed the picture.
A/N: And done. I hope that you enjoyed my take on the typical betrayal story. The pairing is still undecided but I have two people already in mind but you are welcome to add more since I plan on Percy to have multiple loves. And for all you who don't like a harem pairing because it doesn't make sense, I have an actual reason that was hinted at in this chapter that explains the harem, just don't make it too big at least three other people.
