Hello and thank you to whoever is reading this FF. This story will hopefully be a long one spreading through the first five books but also becoming drastically different. Percy will be a bit OP from his training as a spartan and also met a friend during that time who is an OC and i hope you all love him as much as i will love creating him, This story will most likely be a PERCY X THALIA pairing as i read a few and honestly enjoyed it more than some other pairings, it's possible it might change or who knows a mini harem could be done. Nothing is set in stone, but I am shooting for a Thalia pairing. This is my first Fanfiction i have ever written so please take it easy on the hate. I hope you all Enjoy and I hope you all would like to read more.
Chapter 1
"The great prophecy is left in the hands of this small boy! To defeat the titans as a demigod and not even reach adulthood, it's absurd!" Screamed an old lady pointing a thin, lengthy finger at an image of a small boy.
"I agree sister, I don't even understand how we fix this. The child of Zeus is a tree and the two children of Hades are still trapped in the Lotus." Agreed another lady similar looking to the other rubbing her chin.
"The great prophecy was always to be him. We made sure of that, no matter, yet he will not be ready with the training the camp can give him. The world as we see it is doomed and no one can prevent-'' A third lady cut herself off beginning to grin realizing something that can yet save the problem they're in yet.
The other two looked at the third sister intrigued by her sudden cut off. "What is it Clotho?" asked one.
Clotho kept grinning, beginning to nod her head murmuring to herself. "Yes, that can work. It's our only chance…" Clotho turned to her two sisters. "We use the piece of Kronos' soul to change time. Send him back to the ancient times, back to the years the humans speak of to this day. Let him be raised by them. In 8-9 years time he will be brought back and the prophecy will be saved."
"Are you mad?" yelled one of the sisters snapping her head towards Clotho.
"Atropos, even if we don't do this the world is doomed. The titans will rise and after they succeed the Giants will then come and when that happens we will all perish. No matter who the olympians, the minor gods, the demi gods, and us included. We will all perish and be lost to something beyond death.
Before Atropos could counter Clotho the first voice spoke up. "I agree, This is our only chance to fix any of this. When he leaves we keep time going for the present day, we force the prophecy to change from the age of 16 to the age of 18. We will prevent any and all quests that can shift our world from coming up until he returns. When he does he will be 16. With two years remaining before the great prophecy is to come true. He will have eight years to learn to fight and lead and use his gifts.
"Lachesis, do you understand what you are saying? We will be breaking the laws all the pantheons agreed on. We could very much…"
"Very much destroy everything… Lachesis replied, nodding her head. I know, but even if we don't do anything no pantheon will exist and this world we have overlooked for eons will crumble in less than a millennia. The primordials will not only destroy this world but themselves fighting for power between one another." Lachesis added not bothering to look at Atropos. A look of worry covering her face.
"A vote of two to one. We proceed." announced Clotho, "We will send him back to 404 B.C, we have the spartans care for him and raise him. We will have our past selves give him the knowledge and studies soon before he returns, so when he is reunited with the present he can fit in as a 16 year old boy from this time.
All three of the fates nodded, two looking worried while the third looking grim, but all three sharing the look of unsureness of what they are about to do. At once all three begin to chant in ancient Greece, their bodies beginning to morph from old haggard women into three beautiful beings that would rival the most beautiful of humans to ever exist. As their chant went on their cave began to shake and groan. As their chant reaches its peak a fragment of light blue light is removed from the three and connects and drifts to the still picture of the kid that was their main topic of discussion.
The light blue fragments, now one, began to glow bright and brighter now filling the cave with more light than it ever got. The light begins to blind the three women before cutting out and turning to pitch black darkness. Nothing could be said nor heard.
~~SCENE~~
The boy laid on his back in a green field of grass dazed and confused. He picked up his head and looked down to see he was stripped of clothing with nothing more than what he assumed was a cloth diaper. "Hello? Is anyone there?" the kid yelled out looking around sitting up and seeing only an open field with nothing else in sight, not even a tree.
"So he's finally awake." spoke a beautiful voice.
The boy's head spun around and looked in shock as he saw three women sitting down together on a stone bench with a tree covering the sun keeping it away from them. "Wh-Who are you? Where's my mom?" the boy asked, turning his whole body around and staring at the three women.
"You're mom isn't here percy…" one of the women replied as the other three simply looked at him with only a hint of a smile touching their lips.
Before the boy called percy could reply, another of the women began to talk. "Your mom won't be here for another 2400 years."
"I want my mom!" said, well more like yelled at the three women as he began to panic wondering if he was kidnapped. Ohhhh how he should have listened to his mom and not used the phone, she kept saying if he used the phone he would be taken away and not see her again. "I'm sorry for using the phone, I will never touch it again. Please I promise I won't even look at a phone again!" Percy begged, still sitting but now holding his hands together.
"Poor boy, I can't believe we just dumped him here and didn't even explain to him what's going on. I wonder why we became so old and haggard in such a short time." said one of the three, while the other two nodded with grim expressions. "Percy even though what you say could be used as a small reason to why you're here. It is not the main reason. You percy are… special, you were born to do great things and be a leader and stop evil from plaguing the world." Added the women deciding to just rip the bandaid off and be blunt.
One of the females held up a hand to stop Percy from speaking and slowly approached him. "Percy, do you want to see your mom again?" little Percy nodded his head quickly. "Okay, if you want to see your mom again you will need to stay here for a while okay? Because if you go back now then your mom will be taken by a nasty bad villain and only you can stop him. But to stop him you need to get stronger like a hero." she finished finally reaching Percy and slowly reaching out to him and began holding his cheek wiping a tear away with her thumb.
"A hero? You mean like Perseus, Heracles and even Achilles?" Percy asked, putting the weight of his head against the hand feeling its warmth begin to make him feel better.
"Even a greater hero. But to be one you have to stay here for a while okay? It's gonna be hard and you might hate it but remember. You must do this to keep your mom safe when you go back okay? Replied the women, giving Percy a warm smile.
"You Promise if I do this I will keep my mom safe?"
"I promise you will keep your mom safe, your friends and everyone else too. But you need to try your hardest, no matter how hard or bad it gets, just remember you are doing it to be a hero that will save your mom and help others who need it, okay?"
Little Percy nodded his head. "Okay I will do it to save my mom. And friends, and you." Percy smiled, still leaning his head against the warm hand.
The woman chuckled and covered her mouth with her hand thinking how right Percy is saying he will keep her safe if he did this. "Thank you Percy, now remember to stay strong little hero and never give up." she finished leaning in and kissing Percy on the forehead.
Percy's last thing he saw and felt was the very beautiful lady leaning in and kissing him on the forehead and it feeling just as warm and safe as his mom's kisses did, before everything went black.
The lady stood up and looked into the distance, her eyes looking for nothing in particular. Behind her came a cough before a voice spoke up. "Wow Clotho, where did all of that come from?"
Clotho turned around with a small smile on her lips, "You two were treating him like a man who should learn the hard truth. That would only scare him and go in circles. I gave him a reason to fight and keep going in half the time it would've taken you two."
"That may be true but you have opened up the possibility of you getting close to him like another mother." replied one of the two ladies still sitting.
"Sister, we are already close to him. For ourselves to go behind the backs of the olympians and using our gift of kronos' soul to bring him here shows we have put more into him than any mortal we have ever made a thread for.
"Unfortunately that is true Atropos. Now we will have to sit and wait until he is ready before we see him again and give him the knowledge he needs." said the final sister sitting next to the one that made the statement.
Atropos sighed before disappearing in a bright light. The sister sitting with her, Lachesis, following soon after. Leaving Clotho alone. "I pray to Tyche for your good fortune Percy… our little hero…"
~~SCENE~~
Percy suddenly woke up in a room with a group of other boys his age called a herd, when he woke up he saw his cloth diaper was now gone and all that laid with him was a cloak that reached from his ankles to his neck. When he looked around he noticed all the other boys were like him only having a cloak to cover themselves. Before he could think a man entered the room before barking orders in a language he never heard before but could clearly understand. Possibly better than english. From there they were taken to the river bank and told they would be making their own beds with the materials they found around the place and that would be their bed until adulthood. Percy was going to ask where the tools were to get the items but was stopped by another boy who had asked the question before him. The man looked at the boy and slapped him before grabbing the boy's hands and telling him these are the only tools he will ever need.
Percy saw the boy get hit and instantly started scouring the area for anything he could find that would be comfortable for a bed. Soon before the other boys finished he had created a makeshift mattress that he could pick up and carry around. Sure it wasn't like his mattress at home but it was better than nothing. Looking around he saw other boys still making their beds, he saw them struggling and was going to let them be but remembered what the beautiful lady said. 'He needs to become a hero. And help the people who need it.' Percy stood from his bed and went and helped the others, he remembered they will be like his brothers from now on so he needed to help his family.
Percy finally stood up after helping the last boy he saw needing help and went back to where he left his bed. When he got there he noticed it was missing. He looked around and couldn't find it. Until he saw another boy sitting on it giving him a grin that made his blood boil. Percy stalked up to the boy with the stolen mattress. "That's mine, give it back." Percy demanded pointing at the bed.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I just found this all alone and knew it was my bed." the kid replied, keeping that obnoxious grin Percy hated up.
"What's going on right here?!" Barked the man seeing the two boys arguing.
"He stole my bed. I went to go help the others who needed it and he took it."
"I don't know what he is talking about, I found this lying by itself and decided this would be good for a bed and took it." the kid replied
"So you are both saying this is your bed?" the man asked, his face turning into an evil smile that made both boys pale.
"Since we seem to have a problem with this bed." the man announced aloud for the others to hear him. "And two of you say it is yours how about we settle this." the man added when the final kids walked up and started to circle the two boys and man.
"Settle it ho-" Percy tried to ask but was cut off by a punch to the jaw by the boy who stole his mattress. Percy fell on his back dazed seeing two of everything and the boys around him starting to cheer. Percy tried to get up but was instantly kicked in the stomach by the boy who laughed. Percy's air was blown out of him and he struggled to breath. He wanted to cry, he was confused, why was the other boy hitting him and why wasn't the man doing anything about it. He just wanted it to stop and go back to his mom… His mom, Percy remembered again how the lady said he needs to stay strong and keep fighting for his mom and to save everyone. If he gave up now he was never going to see his mom again and she'll be taken and get hurt by the bad guy. Percy knew he had to do something and do something now.
Another kick was sent towards Percy's head but was blocked by his arm. He grunted in pain but for some reason he knew that was the correct choice. Percy quickly jumped up and wiped his mouth seeing blood on his arm. A punch was then thrown at Percy who barely dodged it. Percy balled up his fist and threw his first ever real punch at someone. He closed his eyes and felt his fist connect with something hard. He opened his eyes and saw the boy fall back, blood falling out his nose. Percy looked up at the man who stared at him like a statue with no emotion. Percy looked back down and saw the boy slowly trying to get up. Percy realized for this to end, either he or the boy can't be able to fight anymore. Percy took a deep breath before taking a step back and launched his foot at the boy's head, the boy again fell onto his back, blood now flowing from both his lip and nose. Percy looked and noticed the boy had fallen unconscious. The cheers died down and Percy looked up at the man, a tiny smile nearly impossible to see on his face. The Man shoved the makeshift bed into Percy's hand and began to speak to all the boys. "Let this be known to all of you, Don't take anyone's shit and if you plan on giving shit out make sure you can give it or else you will end up like this." pointing at the boy who began to stir awake.
"Now since not everyone here has a bed it looks like we're going to have to stay here a bit longer before everyone does have one." The man said, the boys all looked at the boy with the bloodied lip and nose standing up and looking around getting his bearings straight. "Since this shit giver doesn't have a bed we are going to need to wait until he can make one. While he is making one the rest of you are going to be doing something else." The boys looked up at the man confused and questioning. "See that dead tree?" He pointed to a tree at least fifty yards out. " I want you all to run to it and back here and keep doing that until this one here finishes his bed." The boy looked up to the man and then towards everyone else, the adult had a large evil smile on his face while the boys were now looking at him with hate in their eyes. "He is not at fault." the man added, "the one at fault is all of you who let him slack off and try to find the easy way instead of helping him, you are all brothers now. You will all eat, sleep, piss, shit and live with one another till death. To let one fall behind is to let You all fall behind.. NOW GET RUNNING!" the man Yelled out, causing all the kids to run towards the tree holding onto their beds.
~~SCENE~~
FIVE YEARS LATER
Percy had reached the age of 12 like the rest of his brothers, from there on they were pushed to seek out an older spartan to bond with as an older brother. Percy thought of it as an older brother program he had heard about when he was still living with his mom and in New york. Percy soon became deep in thought of his old life he slowly would forget of everyday. The one thing he still remembers was his mom. Percy sighed thinking to himself, 'just four more years and I can go home.' sure he was told everyday he would live and die a spartan, Percy did believe that after the first four years of being here but something. Something like a voice told him he would be reunited with his family and his old life. Percy tried to ignore that little voice thinking of it being just a piece of him wanting to give up on this training that he knew benefited him physically and mentally than possibly anything he would ever experience back home.
Percy didn't realize his feet were moving on his own while they were lost in thought and soon he bumped into an older boy, "Watch where you're going little one." the older boy snarled at Percy pushing him back.
Percy stumbled a few steps back before glaring up at the older one, "Who the fuck you calling little? Because you're only a few inches taller than me and obviously your balls look like grapes so we both know you weren't talking about my cock."
A few boys of various ages chuckled at Percy's reply. "Interesting for a fish fucker to have an opinion on my balls." the boy looked up at the sky and added, "Ah the sun hasen't set yet you can still find the a fish in the stream to give you a nice fucking."
Others soon began to crowd around the two as they began to exchange quips at one another. After a while some of the boys started to instigate it as more than simple witty quips and more as true insults to cause a fight. Of course Percy knew this and ignored it, but the other boy could be seen getting a bit irritated, starting to get convinced Percy may be truly insulting him. Percy raised an eyebrow in confusion before realizing the boy was a son of Enyo and could of course be angered easily to start fights.
In Sparta Percy had discovered at the age or 10 boys that showed more promise in their physical and mental attributes were to be tested in very particular ways to show if they had the blood of a God. After a month of constant punishments and over the top trainings that would even cause an adult spartan to be exhausted Percy had discovered he was the son of Poseidon when he had felt the water call to him when he was cornered in a fight where he was left against five other older boys.
Before Percy could say anything to put it all to rest the boy swung at Percy causing him to quickly block the punch before sending a kick towards the others gut, the kick landed true but barely pushed him back a step. Both boys soon went at it trading blows and kicks, both dodging and blocking some hits but also taking their fair share. Finally Percy kicked out the other one's foot causing him to stumble seeing this would be his only chance he charged the boy trying to tackle him down.
Percy realized that was a mistake as the boy regained his footing and caught Percy. The boy brought up his elbow before slamming it down on Percy's back causing him to grunt in pain and loosen his hold. The boy brought Percy up to finish him off but was caught blind sided by Percy slamming his head into the boy's nose causing his head to snap back as a loud crunch could be heard. Percy was caught in a daze from the use of the headbutt and saw his opponent had quickly recovered and slammed his fist into Percy's nose also causing another loud crunch to be heard. Percy tried to keep his balance but fell on his back dazed and seeing two.
The boys who were watching the fight cheered on the obvious victor of the fight before dispersing leaving the two boys on their own like was custom too after a fight since it was obvious neither boy suffered from any fatal wounds. Percy slowly sat up before spitting a thick glob of mucus and blood before slowly grabbing his nose and readjusting it to its proper placement. Percy looked up squint eyed and saw a hand held out for him. He took the hand and soon was face to face with his opponent. "For a fish fucker you know how to throw a punch." the boy chuckled
"For a corpse fucker you know how to take a punch." Percy replied remembering some rumors how Ares' and Enyo's children had a thing for the dead.
The boy threw his head back and let out a loud laugh, "You know little one you're not half bad, name is Ajax," Sticking out his hand.
"Perseus, or Percy." Percy replied, taking Ajax's hand. Percy shook it and gave the other boy a grin. Knowing he found his older brother.
~~SCENE~~
Two Years Later
Percy and Ajax were racing through the forest trying to see who could beat who in a leg race. The race had started when the two had come across three beautiful females talking, "Why hello there daughters of Aphrodite." spoke up Ajax with a smile bright enough to blind Apollo.
The ladies looked towards the two demigods and giggled beginning to blush. "What makes you think we are children of aphrodite?" spoke up one of the females stepping out of the group.
"Because I don't think anyone with a smile and breast like yours could be anyone but." Ajax replied, taking a step forward towards the female.
The female rolled her eyes, "you do have a good point." she said, tapping her finger to her chin before slowly sliding it down to her collarbone. She made a face like she was thinking, "But, I do wonder why you two approached my sisters and I."
"We didn't even realize we were walking in this direction until we were these few feet away from you." Percy piped up winking at the other girls causing them to blush a bit. "Isn't that right Ajax."
"Oh, so you were lost in our beauty? How interesting." the female spoke again, her face soon turned to worry. "I take it you want some of our time. I know my sisters would gladly accept." the beauty delicately touching Ajax's arm now. "But I just don't know if you have the stamina to satisfy us." she finished pulling her hand back and pouting.
Percy knew she was teasing the two and was going to humor her before Ajax spoke up. "Oh we have the stamina, we'll prove it to you in some way." Nodding his head, quickly wrapping his arm around Percy's shoulder, pulling him in and whispering something in his ear. "This is going to be easy."
Percy groaned in frustration knowing Ajax just made their time and getting with the beauty's a lot harder when it should have been just some witty replies. The female face went up in a grin Percy could tell was of mischief. "Oh is that right? Well to prove your stamina I think it would be best if you fetched me and my sisters an apple from the trees. We are quite hungry you see."
"Those trees are at least a three mile run." Ajax replied knowing that would barely cause him and Percy to break a sweat.
"Do i hear complain-" the head beauty asked before being interrupted.
"Of course not, we'll get you every apple we can."
"Oh thank you, please hurry, my sisters and I are quite hungry" the women replied, playing the act of begging and leaning in kissing Ajax cheek. While another sister walked up and did the same to Percy.
Percy and Ajax looked at one another before turning around and bolting to the tree line in the direction of the apples. "Please sister, did you really need to do that?" the one who kissed Percy asked.
"They'll be back in a handful of minutes, don't worry."
Percy and Ajax were soon approaching the apple trees. "Four sisters, two for each of us. Praise the gods." Ajax huffed next to percy.
Before Percy could reply a loud roar was heard in front of them before a scream of pain that quickly died out. The two demigods reached the opening of the forest and found themselves in the middle of a massacre. Bodies of three dead men torn to pieces. Legs and arms thrown about and more blood than should be possible splattered all around. Percy looked around, steeling himself and trying not to feel sick even though he could smell the piss and shit from the dead already. Percy felt something grab his leg and he nearly jumped and quickly looked down to see a fourth man missing his legs. "Get out of here and call for help, this was supposed to be Hounds of Hades." croaked out the man before his grip on percy went limp and his eyes lost their life.
Percy looked up at Ajax and was surprised to see the son of Enyo pale, he was looking towards the other side of the clearing and not at the dead man that just spoke. Percy's eyes followed and he instantly went pale with his brother. The thing they saw was the beasts they learned about themselves and Percy knew well since his father was the reason for it, The Minotaur. Percy gulped . The dead man was right. They needed to run and get help. Percy went to grab Ajax's shoulder but froze as a twig snapped under his foot from the shift of weight. Instantly the Minotaur's eyes met the two and roared.
The monster took one step and then another picking up speed with each step. "He's charging us." Said Ajax stating the obvious.
"I can see that." Percy quickly replied, getting into a fighting stance beginning to summon any water around him he could. "We can't out run him and we can't risk him following us back he'll kill more of us."
Ajax nodded his head in agreement. "So we have to fight it."
Percy's eyes shifted to glance at Ajax and saw the smile plastered on his face. He then felt the aura of a madman and bloodlust seep through the air and into his own body. Percy let it consume him letting the abilities his brother possessed consume him. Percy felt the adrenaline spike through his veins and a smile grin soon took over as he formed a trident with the water he accumulated.
"You got right I go left, remember he can't shift his movements." Percy ordered adjusting his feet to dodge to the left.
"Of course," replied Ajax crouching down and retrieving the spear of the fallen Spartan. "You know this is going to be a pain without armor. Our cocks are still out." Ajax chuckled.
Percy was about to reply but didn't have time as the Minotaur finally reached them. He dove to the left and turned, throwing the trident aiming for the calf of the right leg and the trident landing true hitting the beast. The Minotuar howled in pain as the liquid trident punctured his leg and was ripped out in the same second. He turned to face the one who caused him the pain but was met by a deep slash to his right side when turning, forgetting about the other demigod entirely in those few seconds. The beast grabbed his side and roared, swinging his fist at Ajax who was caught by surprise by the half bull being able to recover quickly.
Ajax tried to block the blow with his shield and arms but the force behind the first was too powerful and he was sent flying into a tree cracking the wood with his body. Ajax fell to his knee and spat a wad of blood, "Is that all you got you son of a bull fucker."
The Minotaur's nostrils flared and he turned to charge at Ajax, he quickly closed the gap on Ajax and was only 5 feet away before his left leg toppled under his weight and a sharp pain was sent through it. The Minotaur looked down and saw a spear was now sticking through his thigh and golden ichor was squirting out with each beat of his heart. He put all his weight on his right leg and began to pull the spear out. As he began to tug on the spear a yell was let out startling the beast. "You forgot about me?" The half bull turned and was met with a hard knee to the mouth sending him flying back instantly feeling his Golden blood flood his mouth. Percy landed and dove at the spear pushing the head of it into the other leg causing it to skewer both legs and locking them within the bronze spears staff.
The Monster tried to roar in pain and anger but was met with a foot to the throat. He looked up and was met with the boy who he had slammed into the tree smiling at him like a bad man. A chill was sent down his spine as he lost his ability to breath from the crushed windpipe but knew he could survive for some time and could heal the injury. "For being one of a kind you're one weak fucking heifer" Ajax laughed before stomping on the bulls horn snapping it off in the process. "I'll take one of these for me, maybe I can show the beautiful girls and they could forgive me for no apples."
Percy Grabbed another spear close by from one of the other dead spartans and walked back standing over the Minotaur. "I don't know, you sure took that punch pretty hard." Percy joked, leveling the spear towards the lying down half bull. "Let's see what you give me for sending you back to tartarus, heifer." Percy whispered just loud enough for the beast to hear. Before he could react the spear was plunged into his heart causing him to go still and curse the boy before being sent back down to his new home.
Percy's eyes widened in surprise as the Minotaurs body had disappeared, which he knew would happen but was shocked to find no spoils of war was left. "Oh that's bull shit." Percy groaned seeing he got nothing from defeating the monster.
"Nah, he didn't even leave you that." Ajax Quipped, holding his side and leaning against the tree trying not to laugh too hard.
Percy and Ajax proceeded to look around to see if there were any other beasts around before collecting the armor and weapons of their fallen brothers, placing them in the middle of the opening. They left the bodies there to be collected by others as they were not equipped to bring back four larger men through the thick forest they had come from. Finally they started to make their way back to the city. During their trek through the forest a large storm started to brew causing lightning to whip and thrash around thunder booming in the distance. "Wonder what has Zeus angered." chuckled Ajax still holding his side in one hand and the horn in the other.
"Probably got caught fucking another nymph by Hera and is being talked down too." Percy joked, causing both to chuckle.
The duo took a few more steps before three females appeared before their eyes. Percy instantly summoned a trident and readied himself, while Ajax got into a fighting stance using the horn like a dagger. The three females looked at the two with amusement in their eyes before one took a step forward holding a hand up. "Percy, have you already forgotten about us?"
Percy narrowed his eyes at the lady before his hands lowered and the trident vanished into mist. "I- its you three again, but how… you look the exact same." Percy took a step forward feeling the warmth of her hand pulling him in making him want to go to her.
Ajax saw Percy take a step forward and then another before grabbing his shoulder. "Percy what are you doing, do you know who these three are?" Ajax asked, confused.
"They're the three who brought me here, the ones who told me I needed to do this to protect my mother." Percy replied pointing a hand at the three fates looking as serious as possible at Ajax.
"By the gods and everything else you were being fucking serious?! I honestly thought you were drunk that night and were just telling me a dream you had." Ajax's arm dropped from his side as he looked at Percy and then the three fates and back at Percy, more lost than ever.
"Percy something has happened, the gods have found out you are here, they can sense you don't belong here and fear you are one of the titans offspring. We need to send you back now." the one who held her arm up to Percy said her face breaking into worriedness.
"But I have two more years to go, you said." quickly replied Percy slowly pulling his arm back.
"That was true but you killing the minotaur caused problems… The minotaur was supposed to survive his encounter with the four warriors and then kill the fifth that came across it." one of the sisters replied glaring at Ajax.
"But there wasn't a fifth man, just me and Ajax."
"We know, but tell me Percy if you weren't there then…" asked the third sister trying to get percy to figure it out himself.
Percy stood there for a few seconds before his eyes grew more wide than they've ever been and slowly turned to Ajax. "You were supposed to die…" Percy whispered to Ajax, causing the son of Enyo to turn pale, realizing himself what the three sisters were hinting at. Percy's head snapped towards the three, "But that shouldn't mean the gods should know who I am, they have plenty of children each, I know my father has at least a few dozen himself scattered around Greece!"
"Percy… When you killed the Minotaur he cursed the gods and you for killing him. Now that isn't the problem, the problem was one of the gods decided to look into why the Minotaur was roaming the world again and saw the demigod he cursed being you was not one they recognized. They don't know who you are exactly but know a demigod they haven't birthed before is walking freely and they fear you might be one of the titans' offspring." Clotho quickly said.
Suddenly a large thunderbolt came shooting down aimed right for Percy. "PERCY!" screamed Ajax diving to push the boy out the way. Before Percy could realize what happened his vision went dark and was brought back just as fast, now he stood in a large cave dimly lit and on his side breathing heavily.
"That was close," breathed Clotho, wiping a bead of sweat from her forehead.
"You brought the other one with him, sister, great job." Spoke up Atropos, glaring at the boy who escaped death a second time.
Percy looked up and saw Ajax was actually partially over him also breathing heavily. "You know Percy, sometimes I regret being your chosen brother." Ajax groaned, falling off Percy and onto his back staring into the cave ceiling.
"You tell me that at least three times a day, you have two more to go." Percy chuckled, also staring into the ceiling now.
Clotho took a step forward looking down at Percy, "Percy we must hurry the others can still find you in here."
Percy looked up and got to his feet wobbling a bit before stabling himself. "Fine, but if I go back I want Ajax to join me," Percy raised his hand to prevent the three sisters from arguing. "You three said it yourself he should be dead. That means he shouldn't be here right now, sending him with me would cause no problems since he would have never had an impact."
"NO, we already endangered ourselves and the rest of Olympus by bringing you here, we will not be sending some Spartan who's the child of Enyo to the present day." Atropos yelled, stomping forward. "How dare you try to make a deal with us, boy especially now."
"I accept," Clotho piped up with a hint of amusement in her eyes.
"You can't be serious sister, do you know what will happen to us if the gods find out?" Atropos spat, pointing a finger at her sister nearly poking her eye.
"Even if we send Percy back alone we still risk punishment from the gods. I believe it's best to send the boy with Percy. Percy is two years younger than what he should be, and the boy is only a son of Enyo; he won't shift the prophecy or endanger it. Plus another spartan will help in the inevitable war to come. I know you agree you just don't want to admit it because he escaped your shears." said Lachesis walking forward and smiling at Ajax, "I always liked the ones who caused my older sister misfortune." Giving the spartan a wink.
"By the gods if this backfires i will drag you down to tartarus myself Lachesis!" Atropos bit back now pointing the finger at her younger sister who was still smiling at Ajax.
"Alright it's settled." Clotho clapped once gaining everyone's attention, "now you two; before we send you back, we need to implant the knowledge our future selves gave us to give to you." Clotho moved up towards Percy and gently cupped Percy's face. "Lachesis does it for the other boy, I don't trust Atropos… Now This is going to hurt a tiny bit, boys."
"Ha last time we got told that I pissed blood for a week and-" Ajax was cut off as he was kissed by Lachesis and a pain like no other shot into his head, it felt like hades himself was skull fucking him in the field of torment. He tried to scream but couldn't since his mouth was at the moment occupied by a sister's fate. Ajax's eyes shifted to his right and saw Percy Also kissing one of them. But unlike him who was trying to pull himself off, Percy was holding the cheek of Clotho looking like he was enjoying it. 'This fucking mad man is getting his rocks off on this?!' Ajax decided to just shut his eyes and wait for the pain to finish and that's when it hit him. Knowledge, the knowledge of what the world was like in the 21st century, what kind of music was listened to, the foods that were eaten. The technology he was learning to use. Everything was flying into him and he let it, he stopped fighting and finally the pain subsided. The Pain dropped and the kiss almost felt enjoyable. Ajax's hand reached for Lachesis face, going to caress it but before he could he was shoved back.
"All done!" Lachesis shouted before leaning back in and whispering into Ajax's ear, "you aren't that bad for a kisser you know." before backing up herself and winking at the stunned boy before walking away with a sway to her hips leaving him dumbfounded.
Ajax stared at the moving hips of Lachesis and almost chased after her before remembering about percy snapping his head towards him. Percy and Clotho had slowly parted before she leaned in and whispered something into his ear which caused Percy to turn a shade of red even blood would envy before coughing awkwardly and nodding his head silently. Then Clotho stopped holding the boy's face and slowly stepped away. "Now… you too will know most of the basic things to fit in with the other demigods and humans around you. I do request you keep the details of being from Sparta a secret until it can no longer be hidden." Clotho looked at the two boys who nodded, Percy still blushing, too embarrassed to look into Clothos eyes. Clotho grinned seeing Percy's state and then proceeded. "We will send you to our future selves who will then send you where you need to go." Clotho finished before turning her head and nodding to her sisters.
They walked towards the boys and surrounded them holding one another's hands before beginning to chant in a language not even the two demigods could make of. Ajax leaned into Percy and whispered, "What did Clotho-"
"Nothing," Percy replied quickly, shaking his head starting to turn the deep red again.
Before Ajax could say anything more, his vision went dark before he felt a stretch go across his whole body not missing an inch before feeling like he was floating and lost, before everything began to spin and his air get knocked out of him. He began to rapidly blink his vision slowly coming back to him and finding himself on the floor of where he just stood with percy also slowly getting up trying to suck in a deep breath of air. "That wasn't that bad. Better than the kiss." Ajax coughed out.
"You must be a shit at kissing because for me it was…" Percy trailed off.
"'It was,' what Percy?" said a soothing voice.
"You didn't like my kiss Ajax?" It might have been two millennia later but I still liked it." spoke another voice pretending to be hurt.
Ajax slowly looked up and saw three very old ladies that look like they'll turn into dust any moment. "Lachesis?..." Ajax asked, confused.
Clotho stepped up and turned herself into her younger more desired self followed by the other two and spoke up. "It's nice to see you two boys again. It might have been only a second for you, but 2,400 years for us." clotho looked at percy before winking at him and seeing Percy go beet red again. 'Poor boy is going to have that hang over his head forever.' "Okay you two, we're sending you to Percy's home city in front of a building. You will walk into that building and go to the 10th floor and room 1009. You will then go from there."
The two stood up straight and nodded. Clotho was about to snap her fingers when Atropos suddenly piped up, "hold on, hold on, i might be heartless but i'm not going to let them embarrass themselves further." Atropos Flicked her wrist at the boys and they stumbled back catching themselves. "There not you won't be swinging your penis around everywhere you go."
Both boys looked down and saw they were dressed in modern day clothing. Ajax was sporting simple dark jeans, a tight fitting black T-Shirt and a red plaid button up layered over it with the sleeves rolled up followed by thick and heavy boots that felt off on the spartans feet. He quickly got used to them but still felt a bit odd. Percy wore the same thing but instead of black and red they shirt was now a White and the Plaid was a sea Green.
The two fidgeted around feeling suffocated by the unnatural amounts of clothing on their bodies after living with nothing but a cloak for half their life. But knew this would be a lot better than going out with the wind hitting their balls. The two other sisters raised an eyebrow and looked at Atropos. The eldest sister raised her hands up and looked taken back, "what? Just because I don't stuff my tongue down a boy's throat I can't make them look decent to the human eye?" Both sisters' faces turned to a look of agreement nodding their heads.
Clotho studied the two and noticed how similar they were physically. Percy stood at a height of 5' 10 with promise of growing another few inches by the time he was an adult, while Ajax stood at a solid 6' 0 and would stay there. Both boys' bodies had the same amount of muscle mass with nearly no fat to take up their bodies. They of course followed the norm of spartans where every man aged 14 and up had the similar physique of a marble statue. The biggest difference was the faces. Percy's face was more pointed with a sharper jawline and jetblack hair pushed back with his sea green eyes. While Ajax took on the quality of a more wide face with a square Jaw, his eyes were a deep red that can be confused as a deep brown at first glance. While his hair was also jet black and pushed back but still shorter than Percy's. The power radiating off the two was impressive also, from intense training at a young age all the way till now their godly gifts were pushed to the front and were strained everyday giving them more control and being able to abuse them more with ease. Clotho smiled mentally patting herself on the back knowing she made a great choice by doing this. "Okay then you two, don't get yourselves killed and remember. Don't tell anyone the truth unless they already know." The two quickly nodded once before disappearing into a bright light.
~~SCENE~~
Percy and Ajax opened their eyes and found themselves staring at a building. A very large building at that, they walked inside and found themselves in what can only be considered luxury. Ajax let out a low whistle and spoke in English having learned the language during his kiss with Lachesis, "I wonder who we're meeting that can afford this."
Percy nodded and started to move to the elevators, and stepping in, he was about to press the button when he saw Ajax hesitate. "Oh come on you," Percy said, grabbing Ajax by the collar and yanking him in, "I swear you can fight the Minotaur head on but gods forbid you step into an elevator."
"Go fuck a fish," replied Ajax letting out a deep breath trying not to seem a bit anxious.
Percy pressed the button saying 10th floor, the doors closed and the elevator began to move up. "This does feel a bit weird, makes sense saying i haven't been on one of these since i was seven." Percy said standing up straight still as a rock, his training still embedded in him. Percy glanced at Ajax and saw him the same way but can see a twitch in the boy's eye knowing he just wanted to move and cling onto something.
The elevator finally reached floor 10 and they stepped out and headed to their right, finally they reached room 1009 and Percy lightly knocked on the door. After a few long seconds a voice was heard behind the door. "Coming, give me a second." after a lock being undone could be heard and the door opened. "Yes how may i-" the voice cut off, "P-Percy?" The lady asked, tears instantly beginning to fill up in her eyes.
"Mom?" Percy asked, his voice almost caught in his throat, tears threatening to leak out his own eyes. Instantly Percy's mom also known as Sally basically tackled him and hugged tightly afraid if she let go he'll disappear again.
Percy hugged her back, his tears beginning to leak onto her shoulder, "it's okay mom, i'm here mom."
Sally finally let go after a long few minutes, still holding onto one of Percy's arms afraid he'll vanish and wiped her tears with her free hand, "Oh my boy is finally back home… Oh, who's this? Sally asked looking towards Ajax who felt like he was protruding on a touching moment.
"Hello ma'am, I'm Ajax, your son's Older brother if you may." Ajax replied remembering to take her hand and give it a gentle shake.
"Older brother? I don't remember having another son?" Sally said, letting out a tiny chuckle.
Percy eyed Ajax telling 'great fucking job how do we explain this' with his eyes. "Uh mom how about we go inside and we can talk about everything in there. Percy said gently pushing his mom inside and glaring at Ajax who was rubbing the back of his head mentally cursing himself.
