I wanna give a big thank you to the readers. I thought initially that this would be a minor story, but with all this support, I will do my best and make sure I write as much as possible. Currently though, I'm working on another book, something I would maybe want to get published If it turns out well. Anyway, here are the votes for pairings.

1 - Aphrodite (Loyal): Eight votes

2 - Artemis: Three votes

3 - Zoë: Four votes

4 - Other (Thalia): Three votes

5 - Harem with Aphrodite, Artemis, and Zoë: One vote (I took off Demeter. Sry. I replaced it with this.)

6 - Other (Calypso): Two votes

Anyway. Enough of the cringy 'Thank you and please R&R' let's get onto the story!

Sally's POV

Me and Poseidon were currently on the front porch of our home, and we were looking down at our bundle of joy.

"What should we do with him, Poseidon?" I asked. I looked up to see Poseidon's eyebrows scrunched together in concentration. When he did that, it always made my heart flutter.

"I'm not sure, I have to leave soon though, because the longer I stay, the more powerful his scent gets. But, I can take you to my palace underwater, and make you my queen," Poseidon offered.

I looked at Poseidon with confusion. What about Amphitrite and Triton?

"What about Amphitrite and Triton?" I asked, voicing my thoughts, and also curious to know what Poseidon would say about his current immortal queen and son.

"Currently, I'm having a fight with them, and Amphitrite wants to break up, I wanted her to stay, but now that I have you, I don't know," Poseidon said, kind of guilty.

Poseidon was loyal to a fault, and I knew this. I knew he felt bad about Amphitrite and Triton, so I placed the baby down on the chair I sat in and pulled Poseidon in for a loving kiss. It wasn't anything special, but I poured all of my emotions into it. When we broke away, Poseidon smiled gratefully at me. That also made my heart flutter. Pretty much Poseidon being with me made my heart flutter. I picked up Perseus again and played with his small amount of hair.

After a moment of playing with Perseus (A/N Don't get it mixed up, perverts… ;), Poseidon sent me a look that said 'can I play with him?' (A/N Perverts I SWEAR TO GOD!), I accepted and let Poseidon play with him. (A/N *Insert Author smirking smuggly* That's what I thought, Perverts). After a few more minutes of Poseidon playing with him (...), Poseidon and I put him to bed, while after we went to our bed to enjoy the rest of the day. (A/N Okay, go ahead perverts, Alright I'll stop now… lol).

Line Break - When Perseus is in class, age 12.

Well, when they said we were going to have a fun time on this field trip, I thought they weren't lying. But, like everything in my life, they were wrong.

So, I start out in class, like everyday. I was watching the teacher do math equations, while processing zero percent of said information. You know when you're reading a book, and you move your eyes over the words, but you process nothing! That was what I was currently doing. Some much so, that when the teacher asked me a question, I stared at the board and didn't hear her, like the dumb dolt I am. That's when I noticed the teacher calling my name.

"Perseus, Perseus, PERSEUS!" The teacher bellowed.

That's when I snapped back to attention, looking at the teacher expectantly. I noticed she had an eagles sweatshirt on. Did she like the eag- CURSE ME AND MY ADHD!

"FOR THE LOVE OF HADES, ANSWER THE QUESTION PERSEUS!" My teacher shrieked.

I snapped back to attention, again, may I add, and actually responded to her.

"I'm sorry mam, what was the question?" I asked, trying to be as formal and respectful as possible so I might not have to be punished too hard. Also, did she say for the love of Hades. As in the greek god of land. Wait no, not land. Air? Water? For the love of the lord! Hades is the god of the underworld. That's right, an- wait a moment. WHO THE HELL SPOKE IN MY MIND? WHO ARE YOU? I thought, or, yelled in my head. The voice chuckled. Who I am doesn't matter, but you might want to answer Mrs. Dodds, she is quite pissed right now.

"PERSEUS. COME OUTSIDE, NOW!" My teacher screamed.

I gulped. Mrs. Dodds can be scary when she needs to be.

Your right. The voice said in my mind.

Who are you? I thought back.

You'll find out soon. He said.

Cut the crap. This stupid movie cliche, 'You'll find out soon' is really annoying. Now, who are you? I thought angrily

The voice chuckled. All in due time, Perseus.

How do you know my name? I asked.

Your father named you after me. He said, his voice fading.

My mouth hung open. Father. That word seems unfamiliar to me. I never had a father, except for my lame excuse for a step-father, Smelly Gabe. All he did was get drunk and hit me and my mother. Well, I followed Mrs. Dodds out of the classroom, expecting to get scorned for my actions. Surprisingly, she turned into a bat lady. She screamed something along the lines of "WHERE IS IT" and then dived at me. The scary part is when a man appeared out of nowhere. He looked like an assassin with a dark cloak and a pack of diamond-tipped arrows. He had a bow in his hands with an arrow already ready. The man looked at the bat lady.

"Halt," he said.

The voice sounded oddly familiar, wait, this was the man in my head.

"Indeed, Perseus," the man spoke, turning to face me.

The bat lady-

"Fury," he said.

The fury suddenly stopped when the man spoke. She had a glint of fear in her eye, before it turned to one of recognition.

"No, it can't be," the fury spoke.

The man nodded.

"Perseus," it spoke softly.

The man nodded again.

"Why are you here?" It asked.

"Alecto, you must leave. I don't want to kill you, but rest assured, and you can tell Hades this, that this Perseus," he gestured to me, "is not the thief, now, run along."

The fury, whose name I guessed was Alecto, nodded and flew off. I stared at the man in confusion. I tried to form words, but they came out as a jumbled sentence.

"What-fury-lady-bat-girl-Hades?"

The man chuckled.

"I have a lot to explain, don't I," he said.

I nodded.

"Well, it started out like this," the man started.

And then he starts to explain. But, Percy's reaction will be in the next chapter. Evil aren't I? I apologize if this chapter wasn't very good. It wasn't :). I just tried to finish this so I could work on other things, but, tomorrow I might be able to work on it some more. Remember, this is chapter 3, chapter 5 is when the pairing (s) is official. Anyway,

Yours Truly,
