As soon as Chiron finished speaking, Harry doubled over in pain, his eyes screwed shut, as he fell to the floor and curled in on himself, Annabeth rushed over to him, panic and fear all over her face, "Harry what's wrong", Harry didn't respond, he just wrapped his arms around his stomach and cried out in agony, Harry suddenly went quiet, then let out a final scream, as he did, lightning exploded outwards, throwing Annabeth away from him and causing the nearby campers to be thrown onto their backs. Only Chron and Mr. D were unmoved, as the lighting dispersed, Harry was no longer screaming, he was simply lying on the floor, panting, sweat dripping down his face. As the campers stood back up, Annabeth ran back to his side, only to stop suddenly, and in a tentative voice, called out, "Harry"
For Harry had again changed, his hair was now Blonde with tints of red, his eyes a strange combination of storm grey and sky blue, and his muscles were more defined, taking him from lean to muscled.
As Harry sat back up and drew in a breath, Chiron trotted forward, "Are you alright lad", he asked, staring at Harry with slight caution.
Harry just nodded, "I'm okay, but that was the worse pain I've ever experienced" he replied, his breath still shaky.
"You accessed your full divinity, with two godly parents it changed much of you, but I've never seen such a reaction", Chiron replied.
Thunder rumbled in the sky, as it did, Mr. D stared up, then looked back to Chron, "I'm being summoned" as he finished, he looked back to Harry, he said nothing, but simply nodded to him, and he disappeared.

Council Room Mount Olympus
Sittin in the council room on mount Olympus sat the Olympians, their seats of power, the room housed the 12 Olympian Gods, around the throne room sat the Olympians, they were all in attendance, Demeter, Apollo, Area, Artemis, Dionysus, Hephaestus, Hermes, Aphrodite, Hestia, Poseidon and Hera were all sat in their thrones, all asking why they had been summoned, before they could utter another word, in a flash of lightning and a small thunderclap, Zeus appeared on his Throne.
"Brother, why have you called us here", Poseidon questioned, dressed in his usual beach outfit, with a loose surfer shirt open and shorts, his Throne was held together with fishing equipment, his Trident at his side.
"It has come to my attention that Athena has created another Demi-God", Zeus spoke to the room, the other gods looked at Zeus in confusion, why did this deem for them to be summoned
"And why have you called us for this", Appolo questioned, staring at his Father, asking the question the others were all thinking
"This affects us, Apollo, as the child was Fathered by a God from another Pantheon", Zeus rumbled, thunder echoing across the room
The other gods were silent, a demigod born of two godly parents was rare, but one that crossed Pantheons was almost unheard of.
"Athena, do you have nothing to say", Zeus snarled out as he looked at his daughter.
Athena simply stared back at her Father, her face betraying nothing, and with a face set from stone, walked to the center of the council room and addressed her Father and the other Olympians, she explained what had transpired, that one of Hecates blessed had performed a fertility ritual and had requested help, Athena agreed as the mortal already lived by many of her divine attributes, "But I had no idea another that her husband had also performed the same ritual, nor that another God had answered, the revelation was as much as a surprise to me as it was to you"
As Athena finished, the other gods looked at her in surprise, whilst Athena had mothered other Demi-gods, she had never done so in this fashion, Before she could move back to her seat, Artemis sat forward in her throne room, her silver eyes staring at Athena, "And who is this boys Father sister"
Athena looked back to her sister, "It would appear that Lily Potter's husband prayed to the Norse Pantheon, and Thor, the God of Thunder, strength, fertility, and consecration answered him". Once again, no one in the Council room spoke, still struck staring at Athena
Thunder rumbled as Zeus slammed his fist against his throne "This will not stand Athena, never has a demi-god crossed Pantheons, you have no idea the repercussions that could come from this, he will leave the camp immediately, he could be a danger to the o.." before Zeus could say another word, Hera simply muttered "Zeus", as she did, she looked to her husband, and in that single breath, Zeus fell silent, "You shall do no such thing husband, this is the first demi-god to be birthed within my Domain, James and Lily Potter are as much as this child's parents as Athena and Thor, as such you will take no action against him unless he has done something to deserve it", Zeus looked down, still angry but would not argue with Hera here.
"I Agree", hearing this all the other gods looked to the final Throne, where Hestia, the Goddess of the Hearth and Home sat, she was in her preferred 9-year-old form.
"What do you know of this child Hestia" Questioned Poseidon.
"I have spoken with him many a night when he was unable to sleep, he would sit with me and talk, he is an intelligent, Kind, and caring child, he has done nothing to warrant any kind of reparations Zeus", Hestia finished, her eyes now alight with blue flames.
"Very well, as the Child is one of Athena's he may stay at the camp, until such time he has done something to prove he is a danger to the others there", he finished, unhappy they had gone against him. The other gods soon left, but not before Athena gave both Hera and Hestia a grateful nod.
...
Camp Half Blood
"What a day" Harry muttered as he sat on the end of his bed, after discovering he was the son of Thor, the others began to look at him differently, Annabeth told him to ignore them, but it was obvious they were now cautious of him, he was a not even a demi-god technically. Once Mr.D arrive back at the camp, he announced at dinner that he would be allowed to stay at the camp, Harry breathed a large sigh of relief hearing this, he did not want to leave his friends behind.
As Harry stood from his bed and began to dress for bed, he was startled to see a shimmer of light by his bed, as he turned to look, the light was gone and in its place was a silver necklace, as Harry picked it up, he could feel the magic around it, the necklace was silver, it had an interlinked silver chain, each had a tiny rune etched on it, at the center of the chain was a pendant, it was Mjolnir, the symbol of his father. The Pendant was beautiful, it was silver as the rest of the chain, and like the chain itself, it held runes over the pendant, as Harry's magic examined the necklace, from what he could decipher they were protection runes woven in.
As Harry put the necklace on, the moment the pendant hit his bare chest, it became warm, and gave him a feeling of peace and serenity, it was a gift from his father, and he couldn't help but smile.
...
Thanks to all that happened throughout the day and from his quest, he was exhausted, yet sleep would not come, he lay in his bed staring at the canopy for hours, yet sleep would continue to allude him, as he lay on his back, he held the Mjolnir pendant between his thumb and forefinger. With a large sigh, Harry stood and quickly dressed. As he walked out of the Cabin, he began to walk aimlessly, it wasn't long until his legs took him to the great Hearth, but unlike the other times, the girl was not here to tend to it, he knew it was Hestia, he learned it was her before he left for this quest when he found out he panicked, he had complained about his life and his issue to a Goddess, but Hestia never seemed to complain, she would just listen, and as he sat at the Hearth, he wished she was here again, he always slept well after speaking to her.
Just as he finished thinking this, the fire flashed Green, and out walked Hestia, seeing her he couldn't help but smile, as he stood, he bowed to his waist, "Lady Hestia"
Hestia smiled at the young Demi-god, "Hello young Haraldir, I heard your prayer from the Hearth" as she finished, she sat next to the hearth and began to tend to it, Harry sat next to her and gave her a quant smile, "I'm sorry if I have taken you away from your duties".
Hestia silently laughed next to him, "I've come to enjoy our nightly talks, what is on your mind"
And so Haraldir explained his worries, and his confusion over what happened, Hestia sat there listening to him, at the end, she simply gave him a smile and said to ignore those who are now looking at him differently, that it would pass and he would be stronger for it.
...
It has been 3 weeks since Harry discovered he was the son of Thor, since then his close friends had ensured him they weren't freaked out, they treated him just the same. He continued to study with them and made time for Annabeth, they had become even closer now and would constantly be found sitting and talking to each other, whether it be about their hopes for the future, or on simple matters like school work. Harry had also become friendly with Clarissa, they had both sparred each other to the point of exhaustion, it had started with their Weapons and ended with their fists, from this spar, mutual respect had formed. He had also met and became fast friends with Dean and Ellen, both were twins and the son and daughter of Apollo.
Harry continued to Train with Luke, but now he was wielding Elding and his full heritage had been unlocked, Harry was now able to beat his opponents with relative ease, on a simple spar with luke he had bested him within five moves, and had luke without his sword and Harry's hammer embedded in the sand next to him. It was now only when Harry went up against multiple opponents and fought without the aid of magic that he struggled, he had sparred with Luke, Clarissa, Annabeth, Dean, and Ellen, and he had managed to win, but barely.
The spar had started with Clarissa running to his front, Annabeth and Luke coming from the sides, and Dean and Ellen had both used their bows to be able to attack him from a ranged distance. As Clarissa's spear thrust towards him, he batted it away with his hammer, with his added strength, Clarissa had to twist with her spear otherwise it would be knocked out of her hand, as he turned and approached Luke, he was about to strike when his reflexes kicked it and brought his hammer up to block an Arrow shot form Dean, this had cost him, as Luke was now fast approaching with Annabeth coming in from behind, Harry quickly ran forwards and attacked luke, trying to create some distance from Annabeth attacking him from behind, he managed to use his strength to nock Lukes sword away and he quickly nocked Luke off his feet, as he fell on his back, Harry span around and swiped at behind him, expecting Annabeth, only for his hammer to swipe through the air. Before he could move, he found himself being tackled from behind and Elding was knocked out of his hand, as he fell he managed to twist his body and grab who was tackling him, only to find whoever it was was invisible to the naked eye.
'Annabeth' Harry thought, he knew his sister had been gifted with a magical hat from their mother that would make the wearer invisible, Harry managed to push her off, causing her hat to go flying off with her, revealing Annabeth to him, he quickly pressed his advantage and kicked her chest, ensuring it was light enough not to seriously damage her, as he stood, Clarissa was now running at him, at the same time, several volleys of arrows had been fired and were now heading straight from him, without Elding he would not be able to block them, so he quickly ran towards Clarissa, as he ran, he slid on the ground, Clarissa quickly jumped over him, but he had timed it perfectly, as Clarissa jumped over him, the Arrows began to fall to the ground and hit Clarissa in the chest, thankfully the arrows were blunt but they would still cause a bruise to form where they hit.
As Harry got back on his feet, she summoned Elding back to his hand, as it flew back into his palm, Harry trew it in the direction of Dean and Ellen, as he threw it, they stopped holding their bows and scattered away from eachother to avoid the hammer, with the Archers taken care of for the moment, Harry tuned back to Clarissa, she had stood back up and was now staring at Harry, her reath labored, "Come on thunderboy", she tauted him, Harry did not take the bait, he quickly ran to Clarissa and they begin to fight close and personal, with Clarissa using her spear, but at such close range she was limited to what she could do, soon Harry had caught the spear and wresteled her control away and threw the spear to the other side of the grounds, they soon traided fists, both getting hit multiple times, but it was not until Harry caught her next hit that he was able to twist her arm and trap her in place, after a few momens of struggle, she realsied that she was unable to escape, she tapped out.
...
After their spar session, the group was walking back to the cabins, "Damn Harry, you keep getting better and better, you're going to be unstoppable soon" Luke exclaimed and patted Harry on the back, Harry ducked his head but gave the older boy a quiet "thanks", as they all walked back to the cabins, they were soon stopped by a gang of Clarissa's brothers, the leader walked ahead of the gang, he was easily 15 years old, he was a strong 6 foot in height, dwarfing Harrys 5 feet, as he stops walking, he looked Harry up and down and it apparently unimpressed, as he lets out a snicker, "I don't understand what all the fuss is about, look at him, he's pathetic, he's unworthy of wielding that weapon", as he finished he began to laugh, looking back at his gang and getting them to laugh at him too.
Harry was beginning to get mad, Before he could speak, the boy turned back around, "And what's the big deal, I mean Athena is nothing but a book worm and a pathetic patron, and I bet Thor could do better, he must be ashamed to have this as his offspring" as he finished, Harry was staring at the son of Ares with true hate in his eyes, How dare he call his mother a book worm or Pathetic, and who was he to say that his father was ashamed of him' as Harry clenched his fist and gritted his teeth, lightning began to dance at his fingertips.
Harry gave a deep breath and walked forward, "I don't know who you are, nor do I care to, but I will give you one chance, and only one to apologize for what you said about my Mother and for what you said of me".
The boy just laughed ever harder, "My name is Sherman, and why would I apologize, Athena is a book worm, and once I'm done with you, Thor will see what a freak you are".
Hearing this, Harry snaps, and quicker than anyone could predict, Elding was in his hand and he threw it straight at Sherman, as it hit his chest, he was thrown back, his body sailing with the hammer. As they both landed, the spectators are silent, simply staring at him, and they followed the war hammer and it is summoned back into Harry's hand. Once Elding is back in his hand, Harry stalks forward to the coughing Sherman who was rubbing his chest and struggling for breath, as he walks over to him, he drops Elding, he wants the pleasure of doing this with his own hands.
Before Sherman could stand, Harry was in front of him and quickly punches Sherman in the nose, Sherman's head reeled back from the force. Sherman was quick to shake his head and get back into focus, he was even quicker to stand, his face contorted in anger and rage, he screamed and ran at Harry, but to Harry, it was like he was running in slow motion, as Sherman threw a punch, Harry twisted his body sp the punch went wide, Harry quickly capitalized on this and threw a punch to Shermans ribs, enjoying the resounding crunch and cry of pain that he heard back, he then twisted around as was behind Sherman, he kicked out his legs, causing Sherman to fall onto the floor on his knees, both giving a loud crunch as they hit the floor.
Harry was soon in front of him and clapped both his hand onto Shermans Ears, with Sherman now disoriented and moaning in pain, with ringing in his ears, Harry used a strong swing kick that connected with the side of Sherman's face. Sherman was now lying on the floor rolling in pain, he had several cracked ribs, his knees were dislocated and his ears were loudly rinning, Harry walked in front of him and summoned Elding, as it flew into his pam, he dropped it on Shermans chest, causing Sherman to lose his breath and let out a loud cough, with the hammer on his chest, Sherman couldn't move either himself of the hammer.
Harry squatted next to Sherman and whispered low into his ear, "What a pathetic being you are, Ares must be so disappointed to have you as a son, pathetic", as Harry finished, he stood and picked up Elding, Sherman was now able to breathe again and gave a small wheeze as he tried to breathe as deep as his cracked ribs would allow him before he could move, Harry smashed Elding into the ground next to his head, causing a large crater to form and sand to explode outward, covering Sherman. "Ever Disparage Athena or Thor in my presence again, and I'll tear you apart".
As Harry finished, he walked away, Shermans gang parted for him, not wanting to deal with his ire.
Chiron was quick to move forward, he had witnessed the entire scene but did not feel the need to get involved unless it became truly dire, "And that is why we do not insult another demigods patron of parent" As Chion examined Sherman, he tutted, "You have several cracked ribs, a dislocated knee, and one of your eardrums has perforated, consider yourself lucky you will heal from this".
...
For Haraldir, the last two months had been hectic, since discovering he was the son of a Norse God, he immediately searched his Library for any mention of them. Learning of his paternal family was not all Haraldir had been doing, they also began to give offerings to his Mother and Father during dinner, he even gave an offering to Odin and Frigg, his Paternal grandparents.
When he gave an offering to Frigg, the feeling and sense he got back were of bonds, of sweetness, and love, from Odin, he smelt blood and fire, and he received a feeling of wisdom and power.
Haraldir had also begun to take expand his magical repertoire, it was all thanks to his Mother, about a month ago his Library had grown, and now it housed books on magic, both ancient and old. COnjuration was now instinctual, he could create and manipulate the elements at his will and even began to learn how to teleport, it started small just from one end of his room to another, he could now jump from his room to the Big House at the other end of the camp. He had soon learned that he specialized in destruction and creation, and seeing who his parents were, it was no real surprise. He soon learned how to read and manipulate Runes, he was soon able to write Ancient runes and any surface.
...
"Thank you, Lady Hestia, I always seem to feel better after our Chats", As he finished, Haraldir bowed to the waist to the Goddess of the Hearth and Home, who simply waved back to him and walked through the fire, it had been a little over 4 months since he learned he was the son of Thor, he continued to train his body to the limit, he was now sporting a very muscled and strong body, he was still growing, he now stood at an even 5'2, tall for his age. His Blond hair was now hanging down to his shoulder, he would wear it in a loose ponytail.
As Haraldir was walking back to the camp without dear, he knew the Harpies would leave him be, they had quickly learned to leave him be after he sent them all back to Tartarus the last time he was walking around the camp late. As he was walking back to his cabin, he stopped dead, he wasn't sure what came over him, but a feeling of distress and anger washed over him before he could think more, a scream echoed through the camp, As the other campers and Chiron walked out to see what was happening, Haraldir was already running to where the scream was coming from, as he ran, he passed the camper, all yelling to him about what was happening.
Haraldir soon found himself at the entrance of the camp, as he looked out, he could see three small figures running, as they got closer to the entrance, he could see them. It was two young children and a satyr running to the gates but it was what was behind them that caused their creaming, with every step the earth shook, as the creature stood atop the hill and stared down at the running children. Soon the monster bent low and began to run, as Haraldir watched he could see they wouldn't make it, they would be killed before they make the barrier.
Haraldir let out a small sigh and ran into a full sprint towards them, as the children and the satyr looked up, they were startled to see someon running at them, before they could speak, Eldring formed in Haraldir's hand and with a leap, he jumped over the children and landed on one knee. Haraldir was quick to stand, the monster did not seem to care, it just continued running down to him, as it got closer, a flash of lightning lit up the dark camp, and with the flash of light, Haraldir was able to clearly see what the Monster was, it was a Minotaur, a gigantic half man half bull being, as it ran to him he could clearly see two huge horns adorning its head.
Haraldir simply let you a large laugh, and threw Elding straight to the head of the monster, as it hit, the monster's head veered off the side and soon the rest of its body went with it, and it fell crashing through the multitude of trees. Haraldir held out his hand and Elding flew back into it, he soon ran straight to the beast, and just as he approached, the beast lumbered back onto its feet, as it was turning around, Harladir swung Elding from his left across to his right, he hit the monster hard in the chest, careening it through the air.
The monster was breathing hard as it struggled to stand, Haraldir calmly walked towards it, wondering how to kill this best, a huge bellow suddenly came from the Minotaur, and with speed unexpected from one its size, it was back on his feet and swung its arm towards Haraldir. Haraldir was struck across his body, the back of the Minotaur's hand struck him and sent him flying across the forest.
Haraldir was breathing hard, his body wracked with pain as it shook involuntarily. But Haraldir managed to stand, and he looked up, the ground began to shake again as the Minotaur ran back to him with its head lowered and horns ready to skewer him. Just as he prepared to fight this beast, a large 'CAW' was heard overhead, Haraldir had to jump to his right to avoid the minotaur, as he spun back around, another large 'CAW' was heard, and as Haraldir looked up, he saw two large ravens sat atop a tree stump, simply staring at him. Before Haraldir could look at them more, a large yell followed by two smaller cries of anguish was heard behind him, it appeared that one of the children had released its knife from his sheath and was running to the minotaur, the other two children were screaming at him to 'STOP' and to 'GET BACK'.
Time seems to slow down, Haraldir could see the child running towards the minotaur, he knew the child would not survive, suddenly his head was filled with knowledge, as he shook his head, Haraldir threw Elding straight to the Minotaur, as it crashed onto its back shoulder, it was forced to twist itself around, and was not staring at Haraldir as he summoned Elding back to him.
The mighty beast let out another bellow to the heavens, as he did, the heavens opened as rain and thunder lashed down onto them, as the Minotaur lowered its head and was soon running back to him, Haraldir stood his ground, he didn't move, he simply raised Elding to the sky, as he did, a patch of light was seen overhead and a great bolt of lightning struck Elding.
Haradlir said nothing, he simply pointed Elding to the minotaur, and with the knowledge he just gained, let loose a torrent of lightning straight to the beast. As it struck, the beast was forced backward, it was soon on its back writhing in agony and lighting filled its body. Haraldir stopped the lightning, as he did, he heard it again, 'CAW, CAW', as he looked past the beast, he saw them again, the two Ravens, as he stared at them, he realized who they were, Hugin and Munin, the two Ravens that brought his Grandfather knowledge.
As the beast struggled to stand, Haraldir simply held Elding up to the heavens, and spoke, "I dedicate this death to Odin", as he fished, he ran, he was running as fast as he could, and he was soon just in front of the beast and with all his might, he lept to the sky, Elding's strength helping him to lift into the air, as he sailed he was soon over the Minotaur, and with a great bellow, he slammed Elding down onto its head, as he did, he passed through the monster and Elding was embedded into the ground, with Golden dust surrounding him, the monster's body offering no resistance as Eldings might destroy what was in front of it.
As Haraldir stood, he was struck by how exhausted he was, as he looked he caught sight of the campers that had run to the entrance, they were all in Armor with weapons ready, but they all just stood there their mouths agape as they stared at him. With a tired sigh he simply grinned at them, as he looked behind him, he could no longer see the Ravens, they had gone. Haraldir simply limped back to the entrance, his body aching and shaking from the pain he was under, it appeared that when the beast had struck him, it had broken a few of his ribs. As Haraldir passed the protective barrier, a wave of peace and calm surrounded him, before his eyes rolled back into his skull, and he fell forward into unconsciousness
