Imagine that instead of just giving birth to Percy, Sally Jackson has five children of the Sea. Theodosia, Achilles, Orion, Odessa, and of course Perseus. Each child except for Percy has a physical defect that gives them a hard time in both the demigod world and the world outside of it. How does this change the fate of the world as we know it?
Sally wept over her children for one last time, it was for the best she knew this. They couldn't stay with her it wasn't safe. Their sents were too strong, and monsters easily picked them up even though they were only a few months old. There was also no possible way that she could ever separate them from each other. They were all each other had, and it would be cruel to do so for the sake of them living without knowing why a piece of them was missing.
She met Chiron on Half-blood hill where she was told that some nymphs would take good care of them until they could walk and be around other campers. But still, her heart broke because she knew that she would miss everything, from first steps to potty training and cute little arguments that they would have with each other. She had given each of them a name so that they were apart of this world, their own world where myths came to life. "We may never meet again, and I have nothing left to give but this chance that you may live for however long that might be. I need you to take care of each other. Goodbye Thea, Ori, Oddie, Kili, Percy." She whispered softly to them and kissed all five of their heads. Slowly backing up before turning around and walking down the hill, large tears welled up in her eyes.
"A mother's love knows no bounds. To keep all of her children safe and together she would give up raising them herself, ensuring their happiness before her own." Chiron commented to Mr. D when he appeared. "Yes, it would appear so. Now isn't this wonderful we have five new whinny brats to take care of." Mr. D's sarcasm was not lost on the old centaur. "Yes my lord. Now you can gain all the experience that you missed out on with your own children by helping to take care of these ones."
Mr. D's face looked startled as he was handed one of the children which he held awkwardly. "Chiron are you insane I have no idea how to take care of this... this thing. Take it back before I drop it or turn it into a dolphin!" The God panicked. "I believe that the one you're holding is named Odessa, best to use her name so that she knows what she is called my lord." The Nymphs giggled behind Chiron as they all began walking back to the big house. The god slowly followed. Each step painstakingly slow as if he was walking through one of Ares minefields still holding his cargo at arm's length.
The baby gurgled at him happily raching out for him. "Oh no, not a chance you mongrel." He summoned vines which wove into a cradle and set her in that as he quickened his pace to join the others little Odessa squealing the whole way. "Something is off with you, child, very strange indeed. I can't tell if I like that about you or should feel disturbed." He muttered under his breath. Once settled in the big house on one of the softer rugs the five babes slept peacefully as the god begrudgingly set about fixing one of the guest bedrooms into a nursery so that the children could be kept close and well taken care of.
"Tell me their names again." Mr. D demanded the Nymph who was currently watching the children as he made the room safer for infants. "Well my lord, This boy here with the brown hair is named Orion he is blind as far as we can tell." Snorting at the irony, Mr. D eyed the small child that she was pointing at. He supposed that Artemis may or may not have cursed him with blindness for having the same name as one of her old lovers... or maybe it was Apollo, he never did like the hunter. "Next to him is the raven hair boy named Achilles he has blue eyes and seems to be the quietest out of all the children. As well as the most observant." Switching his gaze onto the other child, he noticed that while the other children murmured or babbled in their sleep, he appeared to be making no noise whatsoever. Interesting...his thoughts were cut off by her continuing. "Theodosia is the little girl with brown hair. She has Sea Green eyes and appears to have trouble hearing things, we are planning on having a child of Apollo check up on all of them tomorrow so we'll be sure to mention this." This child merely tossed around in her sleep allowing an endless supply of druel to escape her mouth and land on the rug as she did so. Not really worth his interest. Of that, he was assured. "The last little boy is called Perseus, as you can see he also has black hair when he opens his eyes they are an even more dazzling shade of Sea Green than his sisters are. So far; there is not a single abnormality to be found with this child but only time will tell." The moment he laid eyes on this brat he knew that he would be trouble more so than any of his siblings would be. Hopefully, he would not be squeezed to death by vines or turned into a shrub or dolphin when he's older. "And last but not least the little mischief maker that is gripping tightly to your pant leg is-" "Odessa I'm aware." Mr. D cut off as he gazed down at the girl whose hand was clenched tightly into a fist as she was unwilling to let go of him in her sleep. Dark Raven hair with deep blue eyes that reminded him of the depths of the sea when he would bring sailors madness and cabin fever in their new submarines and such. It was clear, there was something wrong with this child... something not entirely whole. Only time would tell how much trouble these five would bring as they grew older. Mr. D prayed for what seemed like the first time in a long time that the fates would show mercy upon him for dealing with these infants.
