Percy's Point of view

I woke up in a room that looked to be in an infirmary, as I looked around I saw that just about everything was gold. I began to wonder if this was part of Apollo's Palace, and that theory was pretty much confirmed when I spotted a couple of statues of Apollo in the room as well, not to mention that he appeared in the room with a bright flash of light not too long after that. Apollo had his usual bright grin on his face as he noticed I was awake.

"You're awake," Apollo said, stating the obvious.

"How long was I…" I asked trailing off at the end. The reason why I trailed off was because my voice sounded different. It was more pleasant sounding than it was before, and I was pretty sure Apollo noticed since I thought that his grin might have gotten even wider after he heard it.

"Two hours," Apollo said answering my earlier question.

Apollo spoke again saying, "You should change your clothes, You're a god now and we don't wear camp T-shirts,"

Apollo made some new clothes appear for me and since they didn't look too bad I didn't bother complaining. He said, "I'm going to the throne room to tell the others you're awake, join us when you're ready,"

I just nodded acknowledging his statement and then he left in a burst of gold light that I no longer had to look away from. I couldn't help but wonder if I could do that now, I figured I probably could but it was best not to try anything yet I had no clue how to do it and I thought it was best not to screw up. I went and picked up the clothes that Apollo had left and started to put them on.

I took my camp necklace off and put it in my pocket, for now, I wasn't going to get rid of it, but I couldn't really wear it anymore either. I noticed that there was a mirror on the wall for some reason, only Apollo would put a mirror in an infirmary. I looked in the mirror and I got a pretty good idea of what was making Apollo grin so much.

I wasn't entirely surprised to see that my appearance had also changed, I was a bit taller and even more tanned, I was more muscular as well, not so much so that it looked unnatural but it was still noticeable. My hair seemed to be a bit messier, but it still looked good, the most obvious change was my eyes, they were no longer just sea green, they were gold with flecks of sea green in them.

Honestly, my new eye colour unnerved me a bit since it reminded me of Luke and the Second Titan War, but I guessed I would have to get used to it. I knew that I might eventually be able to change my appearance but I guessed I would probably get used to the changes in my appearance eventually. After those thoughts left my mind I started heading to the throne room.

As I walked to the throne room every nymph and Minor god that I encountered bowed to me, it made me feel kind of awkward, to be honest since I was used to being the one who was supposed to show respect not the other way around. Some of the nymphs and minor goddesses that I encountered even stared at me for a bit longer than was necessary and apologized once I noticed.

Being a god would definitely take some getting used to but it's not like I wouldn't have plenty of time. As I walked a random thought occurred to me, it dawned on me that my new eye colour was the same as the boy from my dream the night before. I was a bit confused about that at first until it occurred to me that the boy had more in common with me than just his eye colour.

The only explanation that I could think of seemed almost unbelievable, but it made sense, I wondered if I had seen my future son. Once I reached the throne room I wasn't all that shocked when some of the gods seemed to be staring at me. Out of all of them though Aphrodite was the worst, it seemed like she'd forgotten Ares and Hephaestus and now she was just interested in me.

I certainly didn't want to know what thoughts were going through her head at that moment and I decided to break the awkward silence. "Now what?" I asked, hoping the gods would snap out of it. Zeus was the first one to come to his senses and he Announced, "We were discussing your domains, your sacred animals, your symbol of power, and your Roman form,"

"What are they then?" I asked, kind of curious.

Dad answered, "Your symbol of power is your sword Anaklusmos, your sacred animals are the Pegasus and the pheonix, and once Dionysus has finished his time there you will be the new director of Camp Half-Blood,"

I was relieved to know that I wouldn't have to return to camp for a while since Dionysus still had forty-seven years left at Camp. When I realised that I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief since I didn't want to have to go back there any time soon.

"What about my Roman form?" I asked since they hadn't told me that yet.

It was Zeus who spoke up this time and he said, "We have decided that you will have the same name for both forms, also, A palace will be built for you here on Olympus and if you so wish you can have another palace built wherever you want. A cabin will also be built for you at camp half-blood,"

After Zeus finished I just nodded in response. Based on my dad's expression I was pretty sure that he wanted me to have an undersea palace as well but I was in no rush to do that, one palace would be enough for now, maybe someday I would change my mind and decide that I want another palace built under the sea, but I decided that I was just one guy so I really didn't need more than one.

I also figured that the cabin at camp would just be honorary, at least for a while since I wasn't over Annabeth, and it would take some time for me to move on from her. Not to mention that I knew how hard demigod's lives could be and I didn't want to put someone through that. As those thoughts were going through my head Hestia spoke up. She said, "Perseus, We never got the chance to discuss the advantages of being my champion,"

She gave me a general idea of the new powers I got from her and then I thanked her, although it was hard for me to not be formal with her since out of all the gods she was probably one of the ones I respected the most. That was when the ground started shaking and several of us glanced at my dad thinking he might be causing it although we had no idea why.

When we looked at him Dad pointed out the real cause of the shaking. A new throne had appeared beside Hades it was pretty obvious that it was mine since it was gold with a sea green wave pattern on the legs and an hourglass on the back. I wasn't exactly thrilled about who I would be sitting beside since Hades had tried to kill me twice but he couldn't do that anymore so I wasn't really worried or anything.

For a minute I just stared at the throne, knowing it was mine but still not quite believing it. I recalled the time I'd sat on my dad's throne to get his attention and how powerful I'd felt while on it. I guessed the feeling of sitting on mine would be similar especially since two of my domains are sea-related, yet after I finally snapped out of it and spoke the only thing I could think of to say was, "Wow,"

Most of the gods seemed amused by how I was acting but then again it had been a while since they'd made a demigod an Olympian so I guessed that they hadn't seen anyone as amazed as I was in a while. "Why don't you sit on it, Percy?" Dad said while smiling at me proudly.

I wasn't sure how to grow to the height of the other gods but apparently, there wasn't much to it since thinking about doing it was all it really took. It was a little weird at first to suddenly grow roughly four feet, but once I had adjusted I walked over to my throne and sat on it. When I sat on it I felt power surge through me comparable to what I had felt when I had sat on dad's throne. only this involved different domains and since I was now a god I wasn't going to get fried to a crisp by sitting on it.

I could now see basically anything related to my domains. I could see the lines of time, I could sense the waves and tides of the oceans, I could see all the heroes on the earth, I could tell if people were loyal or not, and who or what they were loyal to, and I could also see when people were practicing swordplay. After I'd adjusted to all that Zeus announced, "You are now an official member of this council, all hail Perseus Jackson god of time, tides, waves, swordsmanship, loyalty, and heroes, the fifteenth Olympian,"

After Zeus announced that I was an official member of the council I was informed that Apollo would be training me in most of my powers, I would go to my dad if I had any trouble with my sea related domains but I figured they would be pretty straightforward since I'd been using my water powers since I was twelve. As that meeting continued discussion arose about when we were going to tell the camps about me.

Some of us thought that there was no real rush, let them wonder about what had happened to me for a bit, and then we'd surprise them. Most of the other gods agreed that I should at least learn some of my powers before I reveal myself to the camps. I Guessed that was probably a good idea since I wouldn't want to hurt someone by accident. We didn't make a decision on when to tell the demigods that day, and before too long the meeting ended.

A few days later after another meeting Dad and I were the only ones left in the throne room, I walked over to him and asked, "Have you told Tyson about all this?"

I was wondering about if he had told Tyson about me becoming a god, although knowing my dad I wouldn't be surprised if half the sea had heard about it by now. Due to that I was kind of surprised when Dad replied,

"No I haven't I've been rather busy with you, but he may have heard about it from someone else since many of my people have heard,"

I wasn't too annoyed with him for not telling Tyson, We'd both been pretty busy the past few days so really I just decided that I would go see him and tell him myself but I would probably go see my mom first. I knew my mom definitely needed to know since she may have heard that I'd left camp form some of my friends considering that they probably went to her thinking that I might have gone home after the breakup.

After we finished talking Dad and I both turned, preparing to leave, Teleportation was one of the first things Apollo had taught me, although So far I'd only learned the way that involved assuming my true form. Anyway, dad left heading for his palace, and I headed to my mom's apartment to visit her. I appeared outside the door to her apartment thinking that if I just popped right in I would probably scare her.

I knocked on the door and waited for her to open it, once she did I expected her to be happy and hug me or something, I certainly wasn't expecting the response that I got. When she opened the door she obviously didn't recognise me and said, "Hello, Who are you?"

Let me tell you that it stung a bit to have my own mom not recognize me. Sure I knew my appearance had changed but I thought she would still recognize me, I replied, "Mom it's me Percy,"

Looking slightly embarassed my mom said, "Percy," sounding almost questioning.

"Why do you look so different?" she asked obviously confused.

I replied, "Let's go inside, explaining might take a while,"

She nodded and we headed into the apartment and shut the door. W e sat on the couch and I told her how Annabeth had dumped me when I'd been about to propose to her, and that not long afterward I'd learned she'd been cheating on me. My mom was sympathetic toward me when she heard that but honestly I hadn't really thought about Annabeth since I'd become a god, due to the fact that I'd been rather busy.

I told mom how I had woken up somewhere in Dad's palace and that he'd comforted me, and took me to Olympus where he'd convinced the other gods to make me an olympian.

"Did they?" she asked sounding rather surprised by everything I had told her.

Grinning, I replied, "Yes,"

For a moment she was speechless until she finally managed to say, "I'm happy for for you Percy, you deserve it, you've done so much for them and it's about time they acknowledged it,"

I replied, "Thanks mom, although I'm honestly still stunned by how many of them agreed to it, I mean most of them don't like me that much,"

I told her what my domains were, we talked for a little while longer, I told her that Apollo was training me and I asked her to not tell camp about what had happened to me if they contacted her. We still hadn't decided when we would tell the camps about me so we didn't want them to find out early, I wanted to see Annabeth's shocked face when she realized that I'm now a god and that I wasn't interested in taking her back.
