Hello! I'm back. As I read the comments on the last chapter, I want to thank however it is reading this for commenting. I myself aren't very creative so this is sort of new for me. But, by leaving suggestions I can make the story how you like. So, feel free to comment on anything and I will do my best to fix it, or make it the way you like. Anyway, moving on, these are the votes I've got so far, maybe after a couple of chapters I'll end the poll and make the official pairing for this story. Here it is.
1 - Aphrodite (Loyal): Five votes
2 - Artemis: Two votes
3 - Zoë: One vote
4 - Small Harem: Three votes
5 - Other (Thalia): Two votes
6 - Other (Demeter): One vote
So far A loyal Aphrodite is winning, but, a review from Gennabean, they say 'I kinda wouldn't mind a loyal Aphrodite. As long as it's like she secretly is a warrior and her frilly personality was a facade.' So, if this is a good idea, just say you agree with Gennabean and it will be done! I decided the official pairing will be chapter 5. Anyway, here is the part you've wanted. :)
Perseus flashed away from Zoë, right after he told her about her sister's hunt. Perseus didn't know what to do now since he was banished from Olympus. OK Perseus. Think about the good things of not being able to see anyone who has any connection to Olympus again. Oh goody, this won't go well, Perseus thought. Perseus decided to continue walking through the forest. As he walked, he heard animals chatter and felt the winds. Without knowing, the sun fell and the moon was out. Perseus barely noticed since the moon was so dull and didn't shine at all. Artemis must be really doleful if the moon is like this, Perseus thought. The ex-Olympian decided to set up a home here, as nature was beautiful. But, Perseus was tired, so he summoned a sleeping bag and a pillow. He flashed out of his cloak and into sleepwear and quickly fell asleep in his sleeping bag.
Line Break
Perseus slowly opened his eyes, only to be intruded with a bright light. Perseus quickly closed his eyes due to the stinging in his cornea (That's part of the eye, I looked it up… lol). After a couple of minutes getting used to the light, Perseus opened his eyes. He then sat up and flashed his cloak and quiver full of diamond tipped arrows in it on him, and then flashed away his sleeping bag. Perseus hered a low growl and turned around. He was surprised when he saw nothing. He heard the same growl minutes later when he came to the embarrassing truth, it was his stomach. The hunter then decided to live up to his name sake and go hunt and eat something. Perseus jumped onto a branch and waited for something to come into his radar that he might be able to eat. Perseus soon sat there for 5 minutes and nothing came into his radar. But, he decided to be patient. He waited and waited and nothing came. So, decided that waiting would be useless, he flashed to another part of the forest, hoping to get better results.
Lady Tyche was in his favor apparently as he heard a rabbit moving across the forest floor. Perseus marveled at that animal, watching it move gracefully through the forest. Perseus decided to end its life quickly with a diamond arrow to the heart, making the rabbit fall with a bang on the ground. Perseus took the arrow out and put it back in the quiver since the quiver would always resharpen arrows when they were dull. Also, if he were to run out of arrows, he could allow the quiver to regenerate arrows, and have a set of 15 diamond arrows readyed to be fired, but he tried to think of nature and not litter, so he just had the quiver resharpen the arrows each time he used one. He started to gut the rabbit and prepare the meat, while deciding he would set up camp here, not at the other place. He summoned his tent which was also magical since on the outside it looked like a normal blue and purple tent, but on the inside was a 3 story home. All with working electricity and water, which were also unlimited, so he never ran out of electricity, water, or food. But, he liked to hunt sometimes and make food on his own, since it was boring just to pick food and eat it. He picked up the now gutted rabbit and placed it on the stove. He would normally sacrifice to someone, even though he was a god, just for being nice, but now he couldn't risk it as they might find and detain him. Perseus needed a new identity, he needed to live in secrecy and find a way to make the other gods believe it was Ares who was the spy, not Perseus.
Ares POV - Back when they accused Perseus of treason.
Ares wasn't really listening to his father rant. He just sat back and tried to stay normal. If people found out he was a spy, (A/N I know it the books that Luke convinced Ares to hold onto the bolt and helm, but in this version Ares will steal the Bolt and Helm. But Luke will still host Kronos) they would so things that even Ares would find horrific. Ares knew who Zeus took to traitors, even if that meant punishing his own son for treason. But Ares craved war, and this was a golden opportunity. He remembered his master, who was Kronos, told him in the future, (Not for a while) maybe like, 3 centuries later would have to try and steal the three master weapons. The Bolt from his father, the Trident from Uncle Poseidon, and the Helm of Darkness from Uncle Hades. The truth was, ever since Zeus had sliced up Kronos with his own scythe, Kronos had been slowly rising everyday. Kronos said that he would be able to rise in around the time Ares was called to steal the big three's weapons. Ares was broken out of his thoughts when Zeus said that there was a spy among the council. People were confused about the enemy, as Zeus had said there was one. Then he accused Perseus of being the spy, but before he had said, Perseus was looking at Ares. Ares hoped he didn't look revealing, otherwise he could be easily told out by Apollo or Athena. Apollo for as he is the god of truth and Athena since she is smart. Ares couldn't help but shrink a little at the Hunters glare. Luckily, that's when Zeus decided to frame Perseus for being a spy. Ares unshrunk when Perseus's glare came off him. Ares watched as Hermes jumped from his throne and charged Perseus. He also saw Hermes try and trip Perseus, which should've happened since Hermes was the god of speed, but was amazed at how Perseus flipped and knocked out Hermes. Ares was about to jump at Perseus next but Perseus turned into a cheetah and ran off. Ares was about to run after Perseus but was cut off by his father.
"Don't Ares, we will worry about him later, but, I can strike him down with lightning," Zeus commanded.
Ares nodded.
After a few minutes of watching Zeus, Zeus's face turned red with rage.
"What's wrong father?" Athena asked.
Zeus mumbled something.
"What was that?" Athena asked again.
This time, Zeus spoke louder.
"He got away, since he landed," Zeus grumbled.
Apollo tried to hide his laughter, but was definitely able to when Zeus glared at him.
All right, so good so far, if you keep this up, I'll be able to reform in no time and we will rule the earth! Kronos spoke in his mind. Ares grinned. The plan was working.
Narrators POV - 283 years later: 17 years before Kronos rises
A baby's cry could be heard in the hospital of New York. A girl sat there with a baby boy in her arms, while her husband, Poseidon sat there two.
"Okay Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, you two may go home now, or, you can stay in the hospital a little longer," the doctor stated.
Sally looked at Poseidon.
"What should we name him, Sally?" Poseidon asked.
"Perseus," Sally said, without hesitation.
Poseidon then chuckled.
"Who is he named after, my other son, or Zeus's," Poseidon asked.
Sally and Poseidon flinched when Posedion said his other son. Poseidon realized this and immediately apologized.
"I'm sorry Sally, I-I haven't seen Perseus in years, and I miss him. But, you know I didn't bed Hera. He may be my son in blood, but that was because Hera wanted a baby, but you know she was a virgin goddess. So, I lent her some blood of mine and she did her Hera thing," Sally chuckled at that, "and walla! I got a new son. I loved him like I conceived him, but you know I technically didn't."
Sally accepted that answer with a nod.
The baby then looked up at the pair and smiled. Little did the trio know, they were getting watched by Kronos. Kronos grew a fearful look for a minute, before recomposing.
"This boy could be my downfall, he must be eliminated," Kronos mumbled. Kronos turned to a boy who was about 3 or 4.
"Befriend him, then kill him, got it!" Kronos screamed.
The boy gulped and nodded, then ran off.
Kronos grinned. "Perfect."
And Scene! Was it good. IDK. Anyway, leave a comment for the pairing, since its coming to an end soon. And, uh, ya, by.
