Percy's Point of view

As the gods continued to bicker about what to do I was trying to decide how to answer if they did decide to go along with dad's idea. I knew that becoming a god could be a new start for me, but was that what I really wanted? It was hard to make up my mind with the gods yelling, and it seemed like I wasn't the only person annoyed by the bickering. Hestia raised her voice to be heard over the others and said, "Enough! this yelling isn't getting us anywhere we need to make a decision!"

After Hestia practically yelled at them the rest of the Olympians shut up, I guess when Hestia yells the others know it's best not to argue. The gods talked more quietly for a bit before Zeus finally said, "I can't believe I'm saying this but Poseidon is right, all in favour of making Perseus Jackson a god and a member of this council?"

Most of the gods raised their hands I noticed that Dionysus hadn't, but then again he has never really liked me to begin with. For that matter, he seems to hate all demigods except for his own kids. Even Ares raised his hand, although I guessed he only did it for the same reason he'd been pleased with me getting offered immortality the last time and that was because he could beat me up and I would just come back. If that was the reason why he agreed with it I knew I wouldn't let him use me as a human punching bag.

As for the others, my dad's speech must have really gotten through to them. I was honestly surprised that so many of them had agreed to it. As I was still thinking about what I wanted to do Dad looked at me with a hopeful expression and asked, "Son will you accept?"

I thought for a minute I could forget about Annabeth, I wouldn't have to worry about monster attacks or the gods possibly trying to kill me. It could be a new start, Deciding that it was my best option at that moment since I'm pretty sure the look on Zeus' face meant that if I didn't accept this time he might try to blast me with his master bolt. Regardless of whether he would or not, I decided I wanted a change so I said, "It would be an honour to become a god and a member of the Olympian council,"

After those words left my mouth Dad looked to be the happiest I had ever seen him he had a bright smile on his face as he looked at me happily, I knew he was proud of everything I'd done over the years, and he had told me before that I was his favourite son. Without a word The gods stood and began chanting in ancient Grek, I only understood bits and pieces of what they said but I guessed that they were beginning the process of making me a god, whatever that was.

I stood there not feeling any different until I saw a ball of golden light form in front of the gods, it seemed to float there for a moment before it started coming toward me. When it reached me it entered my chest and that's when I felt it, I felt excruciating pain similar to how I felt when I bathed in the river Styx I managed to keep it the scream that was threatening to escape my mouth.

When it stopped I could see that my dad was looking down at me worriedly. That was when I saw a flash and seconds later I saw the fates standing in front of me. I'd seen them three times before and honestly, that was three more times than I wanted to see them but anyway, after they appeared they announced, "All hail Perseus Jackson god of time, waves, tides, swordsmanship, loyalty, and heroes. The fifteenth Olympian,"

The gods looked rather shocked by me getting time as one of my domains and honestly I was as well. Looking at the fates Zeus said in confusion and annoyance, "But heroes are my son's domain,"

The fates replied, "We believe Perseus is more deserving of the title, we also wish for him to have more freedom from the ancient laws so he can help your children when they need it since you seem to believe that they don't," basically the fates gave us all a general idea of what laws I would have to follow, and what ones I didn't. Once that was over with the fates left just as quickly as they had come.

Moments, after the fates left, Hestia came over to me, She asked, "Perseus will you be my champion?"

I was rather surprised, to be honest, I wasn't expecting her to do that and she honestly looked like she was afraid I'd say no. I replied, "Of course Lady Hestia, I would be honoured to be your champion,"

She smiled but reminded me that we were pretty much equals so the formalities I was used to using were now unnecessary. After she reminded me of that she sent a wave of power to me, it was too much power all at once so I passed out, thankfully I'd already sat down when the gods were making me a god so I didn't really fall down.

Poseidon's Point of view

After Percy Passed out Apollo took him to his infirmary, a short time after, Apollo went to check on him since he probably wouldn't stay unconscious long. When Apollo came back he was Grinning at Hermes and I was pretty sure I knew what they were thinking. They were probably thinking about asking Percy to go with them when they go to "Woo the ladies," or at least that's what they usually call it.

I was sure that if they did ask him they would be disappointed since Percy is still upset over the Athena spawn, and even if he wasn't he probably wouldn't be interested in picking up women. Sure Percy has only ever been in one relationship but I was pretty sure that once he moved on from the Athena Spawn he still wouldn't be interested in one night stands or short flings that would be over quickly. I was sure his loyalty wouldn't allow him to behave that way, but Apollo and Hermes obviously hadn't realised that yet. While we waited for Percy to Join us my mind wandered from him to Sally.

Despite how long it had been since I left her I never really moved on from her, I wasn't sure if her feelings for me were completely gone or if deep down they were still there waiting to be brought back up, like a nearly burned out fire revived by adding some new sparks. Once Apollo sat back down I returned my attention to the meeting as Zeus spoke. He said, "We are here to discuss Perseus,"

"What's so important about that kid?" Ares growled.

I doused Ares with water, more to shut him up than anything, but I couldn't help but be amused as he spat out the water that had gotten in his mouth. Zeus contined explaining, "We are here to discuss his sacred animal, his symbol of power, his duties, his domains, and his Roman form,"

I could tell Zeus was far from thrilled by some of the domains Percy had received, for one Heroes used to be one Heracles' domains until the fates just took it from him and gave it to Percy. I was pretty sure I understood their reasoning, Percy had done more than Heracles, and was a better person than him as well. On top of that Percy had gotten time as a domain and that meant that along with his other domains Percy would be extremely powerful, possibly more powerful than the rest of us.

"His Symbol of power could be his sword Riptide," Apollo Sugested.

We all agreed with that, after all, it made sense since it was really the only weapon he had ever used since he couldn't lose it and it almost never failed him. I was slightly surprised when Athena said, "One of his sacred animals could be the Pegasus since he is Poseidon's son,"

I hadn't expected her to make any suggestions considering what we discussing, but she had still said my name with obvious distaste in her voice showing that her opinion of me hadn't changed. This had to be one of the few times I agreed with her though since Pegasi weren't technically already taken, well you could argue that they are mine since they are a kind of horse but I would let Percy have them since they were an obvious choice.

Athena continued, "Another option could be the pheonix since he is Hestia's champion,"

I couldn't argue that one either since it seemed like a good idea, it's not too often that I agree with Athena but this was one rather rare occasion. I said, "We already know what his domains are," and I repeated what the fates had said,

Stating the obvious Hermes said, "He has a lot of domains, he will be powerful,"

I was sure that we all had realized that already, and I knew that he might be just as powerful, or possibly more powerful than I am myself. That didn't really bother me since unlike my brother I'm not particularly paranoid about being overthrown, I was sure Percy wouldn't do that no matter how annoying Zeus can be. If Zeus eventually does do something to push Percy to his limits, well too bad for him.

All that aside I was proud of Percy He'd been through so much yet he was still pushing forward trying to move on with his life, I hoped that finally he might get some peace after everything he'd gone through so he'd be able to enjoy his life rather than wondering if something was going to go wrong or even if he'd live to see the next day. I hoped that he would finally have some peace for once rather than having to fight almost constantly.

Demeter spoke up next and I was slightly surprised that she actually said something to do with Percy rather than her statement being about cereal or farming. She'd said, "Since he is the god of heroes he can be the camp director at Camp Half-Blood,"

That suggestion certainly got Dionysus' attention since he said, "I wouldn't have to put up with those insolent little-

I interrupted him saying, "You have a son there remember,"

He shut up quickly after that and moments afterward Zeus spoke again. He said, "Perseus won't start at the camp until Dionysus has finished his time there,"

Dionysus was visibly disappointed by that statement but I didn't bother reminding him of his son again, clearly, in his mind, Pollux wasn't enough reason for him to want to stay at Camp Half-Blood, but I figured that by the time Dionysus is done Percy will probably be fine with taking on the position.

Not long after that Apollo went to check on Percy, and when he returned he was once again grinning like an idiot, He said, "Percy's awake,"

At his words, I couldn't stop the smile that spread across my face, and after he returned to his throne we just waited for Percy to join us since we would have to tell him everything we'd decided.
