The Shadow King Chapter 1: 1, a percy jackson and the olympians fanfic

It's lonely being the shadow king. I'm supposed to be the king of a world! Law states that I am the rightful heir of my universe. However I was overthrown by my right hand man. He lured me into a portal that lead to an supposedly inescapable realm, the realm of earth. My soul became one with a boy named Perseus. This young boy was destined to save the earth. He will face many death defying challenges and if he dies, I die. I sent some of my powers to him and hopefully it's enough. I need to preserve as much power as I can if I want to claim what is rightfully mine.

Time skip: 16 years later

Perseus has fulfilled the great prophecy. The Titans are

gone and I feel more powerful, soon I will go back to my home and seize my throne. I have met a woman worthy enough to rule by my side. Her name is Athena, though she doesn't seem to like me. She has threatened me more then once, but I do not like her daughter that way. Annabeth and I are just friends. Nothing more, nothing less.

Perseus

Last week I discovered that I have another soul inside of

me. I spoke to him in my dreams. He was once a king in a faraway universe. Soon we will travel to his realm and take back his throne. His family was killed by his former colleague and best friend. I have to help him, but I don't know if I can leave my friends and family behind. I may not have much of a life here, but I'm thankful for what I have. Apparently 'The Shadow King' has a little crush on Lady Athena. That's right, he can tell me who his crush is but he can't tell me his name. I'm glad he lent me some of his strength though, if he hadn't I would've died a long time ago. Again, why does he like Lady Athena? She hates me! Shadow King would have no chance with her, She's a maiden goddess. She made a vow of chastity and swore it on the river styx. I mean like she is really beautiful and all, but she can easily send me to the underworld, she said it herself! I'm not worthy of her, but Shadow King might be. He is a king after all, and every king needs a queen. Lady Athena might be his queen. Our Queen? Is it possible to separate myself from the Shadow King? Do I want to separate myself from him? He's a part of me now, I don't know if I can lose such an important part of myself.

Athena

Something is wrong with me, but I don't know what.

Ever since I met Perseus (in person) I started getting these weird feelings. Feelings I've never felt before. Aphrodite says that I like him, I don't even know anymore. Do I like him? It doesn't seem possible. He's the son of my bitterest rival. I'm supposed to hate him! This is so frustrating! Why does love have to be so hard?! How does Aphrodite handle these kind of things?! I miss when things used to be more simple and I didn't have to deal with these kind of feelings. Now I feel so... confused. I never feel confused! I remember that two years ago I saw Perseus dancing with my daughter Annabeth and I felt a twinge of jealousy. Why was I feeling this. I talked to Perseus and warned him not to get too close to my daughter. I didn't want her to get hurt but there was another reason, a reason that I didn't know. I'm the goddess of wisdom and knowledge but emotions have never been my strongest point. That was what Aphrodite was for. The next day I sought Aphrodite for advice. I know, the goddess of wisdom asking for advice from the love goddess. I was that desperate. I needed to know what I was feeling, I hated not knowing things. According to Aphrodite I was "falling for Perseus" and that "I have to let my feelings take over". Yeah, as if I would ever let my emotions get the best of me. That would be the worst mistake I will ever make if I did.

Unknown

16 years ago I dethroned my king and best friend. I was

his right hand man and I dispatched him and his family. I don't feel guilty at all. Until now I couldn't sense his position. He seems to be getting stronger. I can't let him end my reign as king! I must stop him. I put his soul into that of a doomed boy. All I have to do is take them both out of the picture. My plan is foolproof! He'll never see it coming. Next thing you know, he's gone.

ShadowKing:

"Perseus," I called out.

"What is it?" He replied.

"You have to be careful, Logan (the traitor) has found

out that I'm still alive."

"How?"

"I do not know Perseus."

"Please stop calling me that."

"Of course Percy."

"Thank you. On to businesses, what am I going to do?"

"Just don't attract to much attention."

"It's not like I try. It just happens," Pers- I mean Percy
