Athena's Wisest Decision (Percena)

The votes for what the next one-shot should be ended in a tie between Rhea and Athena. Because of this, I'll be starting a one-shot for both of them, but I'm not likely to finish them both at the same time. It'll really depend on what ideas I'm able to get for them and how I'm able to get everything written out. However, things go for these two one-shots though, I hope they turn out alright, like how I do for all my other one-shots, and that you all enjoy them.

Well, despite almost dying at the hands of my evil grandfather and both the mortal and immortal worlds almost being destroyed, I felt pretty great. Turned out the prophecy wasn't referring to me getting my soul reaped by Kronos' scythe after all. Nor was it referring to a choice that would cost me my life. The prophecy had been referring to Luke dying by the dagger he once gave to Annabeth when she was just a little kid and stopping Kronos from achieving his true form to destroy us all. Which lead to the present moment the aftermath of the war ending with Kronos' defeat and Olympus' victory.

"Good . . . blade." Luke croaked as I was kneeling right next to him.

Annabeth limped over with Grover's support. They both had tears in their eyes. Considering their shared past Luke, I guess I could see why they'd be sad. But from the point of view that I had on the overall state of things, it took all my willpower to not sigh, roll my eyes, or even nod my head in irritation. Especially towards Annabeth, considering how I was still pretty irritated at her.

"You knew. I almost killed you, but you knew . . ." Luke gazed at Annabeth.

"Shhh. You were a hero at the end, Luke. You'll go to Elysium." Annabeth's voice trembled.

He shook his head weakly. I turned my head away from the both of them. As dark and cruel as it sounded, I just wanted Luke to shut up and die already. He may have Annabeth and Grover's forgiveness, but not mine. My ability to forgive and forget everything Luke put everyone through wasn't as strong as theirs.

"Think . . . rebirth. Try for three times. Isles of the Blest." Luke breathed out.

"You always pushed yourself too hard." Annabeth sniffled.

He held up his charred hand. Annabeth touched his fingertips with one had as she used her other hand to wipe her tears away.

"Did you . . . Did you love me?" Luke coughed and his lips glistened red.

"There was a time I thought . . . well, I thought . . ." Annabeth started, but then turned her attention towards me, like she was drinking in the fact that I was still here.

Even though I could feel her stare at me, I didn't turn to her. I just continued to look away and for this scenery to come to an end. The only thing that really mattered to me was for this madness to end and to end right now.

"You were like a brother to me, Luke. But I didn't love you." Annabeth said softly.

He nodded, as if he'd expected it. He winced in pain.

"We can get ambrosia. We can-" Grover tried.

"Grover, you're the bravest satyr I ever knew. But no. There's no healing . . ." Luke tried to say, only to cough out more blood.

Then he suddenly gripped my sleeve to get my attention, and I could feel the heat of his skin like a fire. I did turn my head to him, but I wasn't letting up on how I was really feeling about any of this.

"Ethan. Me. All the unclaimed. Don't let it . . . Don't let it happen again." Luke said, his eyes were angry, but pleading too.

I didn't bother saying a word. I just nodded my head once, letting him know I would do it, but not for him or because he asked. I was doing this because Luke was actually right about something for once. The Olympians really needed to stop being such shitty parents and start taking better care of their kids.

Luke nodded, and his hand went slack. The bastard was finally dead. The gods arrived a few minutes later in their full war regalia, thundering into the throne room and expecting a battle. What they found were Annabeth, Grover, and me standing over the body of a dead half-blood, in the dim warm light of the hearth.

"Percy, what . . . what is this?" Poseidon called with awe in his voice.

"We did it. We won, Luke lost, and the son of a bitch is finally going to Hell." I answered.

Annabeth looked at me with shock all over her face. But before she could get anything out, Grover beat her to it by speaking instead.

"We need a shroud. A shroud for the son of Hermes." Grover announced with a cracking voice.

The Three Fates themselves took Luke's body. I hadn't seen the old ladies in years, since I'd witnessed them snip a life thread at a roadside fruit stand when I was twelve. They'd scared me then, and they scared me now, three ghoulish grandmothers with bags of knitting needles and yarn. One of them looked at me, and even though she didn't say anything, my life literally flashed before my eyes. Suddenly I was twenty. Then I was a middle-aged man. Then I turned old and withered. All the strength left my body, and I saw my own tombstone and an open grave, a coffin being lowered into the ground. All this happened in less than a second. I wish I could say I didn't let the terror show, but it did.

"It is done." One of the sisters said.

She held up the snippet of blue yarn and I knew it was the same one I'd seen four years ago, the lifeline I'd watched them snip. I had thought it was my life. Now I realized it was Luke's. They'd been showing me the life that would have to be sacrificed to set things right. They gathered up Luke's body, now wrapped in a white-and-green shroud, and began carrying it out of the throne room.

"Wait." Hermes said.

The messenger god was dressed in his classic outfit of white Greek robes, sandals, and helmet. The wings of his helm fluttered as he walked. The snakes George and Martha curled around his caduceus, murmuring: Luke, poor Luke. I thought about May Castellan, alone in her kitchen, baking cookies and making sandwiches for a son who would never come home and even though I wasn't affected by Luke's death like how Annabeth, Grover, and Hermes were, I did feel bad for Luke's mother. Hermes unwrapped Luke's face and kissed his forehead. He murmured some words in Ancient Greek, a final blessing.

"Farewell, my son." Hermes whispered.

Then he nodded and allowed the Fates to carry away his son's body. Next to me, Annabeth's knees buckled. Grover caught her, but she passed out in his arms.

"She needs help!" Grover yelled.

"I've got this." Apollo stepped forward.

His fiery armor was so bright it was hard to look at, and his matching Ray-Bans and perfect smile made him look like a male model for battle gear.

"God of medicine, at your service." Apollo said as he passed his hand over Annabeth's face and spoke an incantation.

Immediately the bruises faded. Her cuts and scars disappeared. Her arm straightened, and she sighed in her sleep.

"She'll be fine in a few minutes. Just enough time for me to compose a poem about our victory: 'Apollo and his friends save Olympus.' Good, eh?" Apollo grinned.

"Keep trying man." I answered.

The next few hours were a blur. I remembered my promise to my mother. Zeus didn't even blink an eye when I told him my strange request. He snapped his fingers and informed me that the top of the Empire State Building was now lit up blue. Most mortals would just have to wonder what it meant, but my mom would know: I had survived, Olympus was saved. The gods set about repairing the throne room, which went surprisingly fast with twelve super powerful beings at work. Grover and I cared for the wounded, and once the sky bridge re-formed, we greeted our friends who had survived. The Cyclopes had saved Thalia from the fallen statue. She was on crutches, but otherwise she was okay. Connor and Travis Stoll had made it through with only minor injuries. They promised me they hadn't even looted the city much. They told me my parents were fine, though they weren't allowed into Mount Olympus. Mrs. O'Leary had dug Chiron out of the rubble and rushed him off to camp. The Stolls looked kind of worried about the old centaur, but at least he was alive. Katie Gardner reported that she'd seen Rachel Elizabeth Dare run out of the Empire State Building at the end of the battle. Rachel had looked unharmed, but nobody knew where she'd gone, which also troubled me. Nico Di Angelo came into Olympus to a hero's welcome, his father right behind him, even though Hades was only supposed to visit Olympus on winter solstice. The god of the dead looked stunned when his relatives clapped him on the back. I doubt he'd ever gotten such an enthusiastic welcome before. Clarisse marched in, still shivering from her time in the ice block.

"There's my girl!" Ares bellowed.

The god of war ruffled her hair and pounded her on the back, calling her the best warrior he'd ever seen.

"That drakon-slaying? Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!" Ares stated with great pride and enthusiasm.

Clarisse looked pretty overwhelmed. All she could do was nod and blink, like she was afraid he'd start hitting her, but eventually she began to smile. Hera and Hephaestus passed me, and while Hephaestus was a little grumpy about my jumping on his throne, he thought I'd done 'a pretty bang-up job, mostly'.

"I suppose I won't destroy you and that little girl now." Hera sniffed in disdain.

"If you ever wanna try anyways, I'm budget." I told her.

"Hmm." Hera whirled away in a huff.

Dionysus's head was still wrapped in a bandage.

"Well, Percy Jackson. I see Pollux made it through, so I suppose you aren't completely inept. It's all thanks to my training, I suppose." Dionysus said.

"Good to know, Mr. D." I said, which Dionysus nodded to.

"As thanks for my bravery, Zeus has cut my probation at that miserable camp in half. I now have only fifty years left instead of one hundred." Dionysus added.

"That was nice of him." I said as I tried to imagine putting up with Dionysus until I was an old man, assuming I lived that long.

"Don't get so excited, Jackson. I still plan on making your life miserable." Dionysus said.

"Good." I couldn't help smiling.

"Good?" Dionysus repeated as a question, confused.

"Yeah. It'd be fucked up if you didn't. That just wouldn't be you." I explained.

He seemed shocked by my response, but he didn't let it last long.

"Well, just so long as we understand each other." Dionysus said and began repairing his grapevine throne, which had been burnt by fire.

Grover stayed at my side. From time to time he would break down in tears.

"So many nature spirits dead, Percy. So many." Grover whimpered.

"You'll find a way to undo all the damage G-man." I said, patting his shoulder.

"I . . . I suppose. But it was hard enough to rally them before. I'm still an outcast. I could barely get anyone to listen to me about Pan. Now will they ever listen to me again? I led them into a slaughter." He sniffled dejectedly.

"They will listen because you care about them. You care about the Wild more than anyone." I promised.

"Thanks, Percy. I hope . . . I hope you know I'm really proud to be your friend." He tried for a smile.

"Luke was right about one thing, G-man. You're the bravest satyr I ever met." I patted his arm.

He blushed, but before he could say anything, conch horns blew. The army of Poseidon marched into the throne room.

"Percy!" Tyson yelled.

He charged toward me with his arms open. Fortunately, he'd shrunk back to normal size, so his hug was like getting hit by a tractor, not the entire farm.

"You are not dead!" Tyson said.

"Yeah! Amazing, huh?" I agreed.

"I am not dead either. Yay! We chained Typhon. It was fun!" Tyson laughed and clapped his hands happily.

Behind him, fifty other armored Cyclopes laughed and nodded and gave each other high fives.

"Tyson led us! He is brave!" One Cyclops rumbled.

"Bravest of the Cyclopes!" Another Cyclops bellowed.

"It was nothing." Tyson blushed.

"You were incredible!" I said.

I thought Grover would pass out. He's deathly afraid of Cyclopes. But he steeled his nerves.

"Yes. Um . . . three cheers for Tyson!" Grover cheered.

"YAAARRRRR!" The Cyclopes roared.

"Please don't eat me." Grover muttered, but I don't think anyone heard him.

The conch horns blasted again. The Cyclopes parted, and my father strode into the throne room in his battle armor, his trident glowing in his hands.

"Tyson! Well, done, my son." Poseidon roared, which Tyson blushed even more to.

His face turned stern when he turned to me.

"And Percy! I even forgive you for sitting on my throne. You have saved Olympus!" Poseidon said as he wagged his finger at me.

"I needed to get your attention somehow." I shrugged.

He held out his arms and gave me a hug. I realized, a little embarrassed, that I'd never actually hugged my dad before. He was warm like a regular human, and he smelled of a salty beach and fresh sea air. When he pulled away, he smiled kindly at me. I felt so good, I'll admit I had a tear start to form in my eye even. I guess until that moment I hadn't allowed myself to realize just how terrified and worked up I had been the last few days.

"Dad?" I started.

"Shhh. No hero is above fear, Percy. And you have risen above every hero. Not even Hercules-" Poseidon started.

"POSEIDON!" Zeus roared.

Zeus had taken his throne. He glared across the room at my dad while all the other gods filed in and took their seats. Even Hades was present, sitting on a simple stone guest chair at the foot of the hearth. Nico sat cross-legged on the ground at his dad's feet.

"Well, Poseidon? Are you too proud to join us in council, my brother?" Zeus grumped.

I thought Poseidon was going to get mad, but he just looked at me and winked.

"I would be honored, Lord Zeus." Poseidon said and made his way to his throne.

While Zeus was talking some long speech about the bravery of the gods, etc., Annabeth walked in and stood next to me. She looked in good shape for someone who'd recently passed out.

"Miss much?" Annabeth whispered.

Despite feeling a little negativity towards her, I didn't want to ruin anything. So, I was willing to play nice for a little while.

"Nobody's planning to kill us, so far." I shrugged.

"First time today." Annabeth commented.

"As for my brothers, we are thankful *clears throat* erm, thankful for the aid of Hades." Zeus said.

The lord of the dead nodded. He had a smug look on his face, but I figure he'd earned the right. He patted his son Nico on the shoulders, and Nico looked happier than I'd ever seen him.

"And, of course, we must . . . um . . . thank Poseidon." Zeus continued.

"I'm sorry, brother. What was that?" Poseidon said.

"We must thank Poseidon. Without whom . . . it would've been difficult-" Zeus growled.

"Difficult?" Poseidon interrupted.

"Impossible. Impossible to defeat Typhon." Zeus said.

The gods murmured agreement and pounded their weapons in approval.

"Which leaves us only the matter of thanking our young demigod heroes, who defended Olympus so well, even if there are a few dents in my throne." Zeus said.

Thalia was called first, since she was his daughter, and promised her help in filling the Hunters' ranks.

"You have done well, my lieutenant. You have made me proud, and all those Hunters who perished in my service will never be forgotten. They will achieve Elysium, I am sure." Artemis said and eventually glared pointedly at Hades.

"Probably." Hades shrugged.

Artemis glared at him some more.

"Fine. I'll streamline their application process." Hades grumbled with a roll of his eyes.

"Thank you, my lady." Thalia beamed with pride, bowing to the gods, even Hades, and then limped over to stand by Artemis's side.

"Tyson, son of Poseidon!" Zeus called.

Tyson looked nervous, but he went to stand in the middle of the Council, and Zeus grunted.

"Doesn't miss many meals, does he?" Zeus muttered, which earned a pointed look from his brother.

"Tyson, for your bravery in the war, and for leading the Cyclopes, you are appointed a general in the armies of Olympus. You shall henceforth lead your brethren into war whenever required by the gods. And you shall have a new . . . um . . . what kind of weapon would you like? A sword? An axe?" Zeus offered.

"Stick!" Tyson said, showing his broken club.

"Very well. We will grant you a new, er, stick. The best stick that may be found." Zeus said.

"Hooray!" Tyson cried, and all the Cyclopes cheered and pounded him on the back as he rejoined them.

"Grover Underwood of the satyrs!" Dionysus called.

Grover came forward nervously.

"Oh, stop chewing your shirt. Honestly, I'm not going to blast you. Dionysus chided.

Grover did as he was told, but I could tell it was hard to do so. He never was good at hiding his nervousness from anybody.

"For your bravery and sacrifice, blah, blah, blah, and since we have an unfortunate vacancy, the gods have seen fit to name you a member of the Council of Cloven Elders." Dionysus stated.

Grover collapsed on the spot.

"Oh, wonderful. Well, when he wakes up, someone tell him that he will no longer be an outcast, and that all satyrs, naiads, and other spirits of nature will hence-forth treat him as a lord of the Wild, with all rights, privileges, and honors, blah, blah, blah. Now please, drag him off before he wakes up and starts groveling." Dionysus sighed, as several naiads came forward to help Grover.

"FOOOOOD," Grover moaned, as the nature spirits carried him away.

I figured he'd be okay. He would wake up as a lord of the Wild with a bunch of beautiful naiads taking care of him. Life could be worse.

"Annabeth Chase, my own daughter." Athena called.

Annabeth squeezed my arm, then walked forward and knelt at her mother's feet.

"You, my daughter, have exceeded all expectations. You have used your wits, your strength, and your courage to defend this city, and our seat of power. It has come to our attention that Olympus is . . . well, trashed. The Titan lord did much damage that will have to be repaired. We could rebuild it by magic, of course, and make it just as it was. But the gods feel that the city could be improved. We will take this as an opportunity. And you, my daughter, will design these improvements." Athena smiled.

"Re- really?" Annabeth looked up, stunned.

"You are an architect, are you not? You have studied the techniques of Daedalus himself. Who better to redesign Olympus and make it a monument that will last for another eon?" Athena smiled wryly.

"You mean . . . I can design whatever I want?" Annabeth asked.

"As your heart desires. Make us a city for the ages." Athena said.

"As long as you have plenty of statues of me." Apollo added.

"And me." Aphrodite agreed.

"Hey, and me! Big statues with huge, wicked swords, and-!" Ares said.

"All right! She gets the point. Rise, my daughter, official architect of Olympus." Athena interrupted.

Annabeth rose in a trance and walked back toward me.

"Congratulations." I told her, still playing the nice card.

"I'll . . . I'll have to start planning . . . Drafting paper, and, um, pencils, . . ." Annabeth got out, but barely since she was at a loss for words.

"PERCY JACKSON!" Poseidon announced.

My name echoed around the chamber. All talking died down. The room was silent except for the crackle of the hearth fire. Everyone's eyes were on me. All the gods, the demigods, the Cyclopes, the spirits. I walked into the middle of the throne room. Hestia smiled at me reassuringly. Her smile gave me courage to walk. First, I bowed to Zeus. Then I knelt at my father's feet.

"Rise, my son." Poseidon said.

I stood uneasily.

"A great hero must be rewarded. Is there anyone here who would deny that my son is deserving?" Poseidon stated.

I waited for someone to pipe up. The gods never agreed on anything, and many of them still didn't like me, but not a single one protested.

"The Council agrees. Percy Jackson, you will have one gift from the gods." Zeus said.

"Any gift?" I asked.

"I know what you will ask. The greatest gift of all. Yes, if you want it, it shall be yours. The gods have not bestowed this gift on a mortal hero in many centuries. But Perseus Jackson, if you wish it, you shall be made a god. Immortal. Undying. You shall serve as your father's lieutenant for all time. And in doing so, I'll have to put up with you forever" Zeus looked grim at all of this.

"Hmm. That means I can smash him to a pulp as often as I want, and he'll just keep coming back for more. I like this idea." Ares mused.

"Hey Ares, aren't you supposed to be team muscle? If you actually have any intelligence whatsoever in the thick hallow skull of yours, you will not make me come over there and make you team pussy." I threatened.

"Which he actually could most likely do. Not just because he did it once before, but also because he still bears the curse of Achilles in him." Hestia added, supporting her nephew.

That seemed to be news to Ares as he had a look of shock on his face at that, even if only a little.

"Not to mention, the very second you do make an attempt on my son nephew, will lead to me repaying you in kind, a thousand times fold." Poseidon added.

Ares didn't say anything after that. Which was smart of him. With that taken care of, I thought on the matter. Becoming a god wasn't exactly what I'd ask for, but it was a tempting offer. Give or take having to put up with the gods that hated me. I knew how they thought of me and hated me was most likely never gonna change, and that was not a thought I appreciated much. But on the other hand, maybe this was a great way for me to keep my promise to Luke. Help the gods make sure they learned just how much damage was done because of how terrible they were at being parents. Maybe if they could see the benefits of being the parents they're supposed to be through an example set be a fellow god, they'd see how important it was for them to do the same. It was a long shot, but it was worth a try. Besides, I was tired of demigods wasting so much time fighting each other when there were worse enemies of theirs out there. With that, my mind was made.

"I will accept your offer to become a god." I answered.

"All in favor?" Hermes asked, which all the gods raised their hands to.

"Very well then. On your knees Perseus Jackson." Zeus stated.

I did as Zeus requested and prepared for what was to come.

"With the consensus of the entire Council, I, Zeus, king of Olympus, dub thee, Percy Jackson, god of . . . what kind of god would you wish to be known as?" Zeus started.

Based on what I was doing this for, and with the thought of a certain goddess on my mind considering she was a sort of an influence on the matter to me, I already knew exactly what I wanted.

"Loyalty." I answered.

"Loyalty it is then. I dub thee Percy Jackson, the god of loyalty, and lieutenant of Poseidon's army." Zeus said and with a glow of his eyes, a bolt of lightning had structed me.

I didn't feel very much pain, but rather I felt like the power of a thousand suns were surging into my body. The empowerment I felt from this was what I felt from succeeding in bathing in the River Styx a thousand-fold, minus the searing pain that came with it of course. And after a minute of feeling this empowerment, the light faded, and I was literally and figuratively, glowing with health.

"Arise my son and take your rightful place as an Olympian god. Honor guard!" Poseidon said.

"All hail, Perseus Jackson, Hero of Olympus, and my big brother!" Tyson said.

"ALL HAIL PERSEUS JACKSON!" The Cyclops' and even the other demigods shouted.

"Now, we must find you a tutor to help you learn how to control your new power Perseus Jackson." Zeus stated.

"I wish I could, but I have much work to do with my kingdom. So much to clean up, and so little time." Poseidon said with regret.

"Figures." Zeus mumbled.

"I'll do it." Athena spoke up.

All heads turned to her with shock and/or confusion.

"Athena? You would train Poseidon's son?" Zeus asked shocked.

"It would be wise for him to learn from me. Besides, I owe him." Athena said, sending a tiny wink in my direction.

Nobody else knew what that meant, but I knew.

-Flashback-

After yet another exhausting quest, I find myself on Olympus. If anyone expects to feel safe or secure in this place, I would advise you to think again and fine somewhere else that will fall under that category. Olympus probably can qualify as safe to some small degree, but secure, not likely, especially when you have a few gods and goddesses talking about a prophecy that you apparently have a huge part in but don't really know anything about and the gods fearing it so much. Even though I don't know what this prophecy is or how I'm such a big deal about it, I know there are some that do know and every time I ever ask about it, they just leave me in the dark.

Even my dad wasn't very helpful on the matter. When I was looking around the crowded celebration that was going on, I ended up meeting up with him. Well, it was a little more of him coming from out of nowhere and surprising me a little. Basically, the talk was about him being proud of me, that I've done a good job, and that he really hopes that I don't screw up at all. Needless to say, his praise and talk with me made me feel pretty uneasy. Only yet another indication that this prophecy was pretty damn big, and I wasn't gonna know any more than that yet. I mean, it did feel nice that my dad was supporting me and on my side. But I knew he wasn't doing so without taking a few risks. By basically vouching for me back there, he's putting himself on the line, which is something no god likes doing really.

And as if being pressured by my dad wasn't putting enough pressure on me, his least favorite niece Athena had to come along. Even though she didn't say anything at all in the throne room unless she was spoken to first, she seemed like she was in very serious thought about something.

"Percy Jackson." Athena stated.

With how she reminded me so much of Annabeth, since Athena had the exact same gray eyes and blonde hair, I almost mistaken Athena for her daughter Annabeth. It was a good thing I was able to stop myself before I ended up accidently doing that. I'd hate to think what Athena might do to me for it.

"Athena." I acknowledged and bowed.

I was mostly expecting her to be cold and rough to me and everything, given her history with my dad. But in no way shape or form did I, nor could I, expect the chain events that happened instead. While I was still bowing, Athena wrapped her arms around my head and brought me to her in a hug.

"Thank you so much Percy Jackson. You saved my favorite daughter's life. I will never forget this." Athena said.

I was shocked beyond belief to say the least. But it wasn't just because of Athena actually being nice to me. It was also how she was holding me to her. She was holding my head right into her chest. The thing about that was that she was wearing a dress from Ancient Greek culture, so it revealed quite a bit of her body. More specifically for the point I was making, it did nothing to hide Athena's cleavage, and she had my head right in it. I had no way of getting any words formed from my mouth, nor could I do anything about the blush that was on my cheeks. I didn't know if Athena was even aware of this or not, but I was too stunned to say or do anything.

"You have saved Annabeth for me. I am forever indebted to you." Athena said as she finally let go of my head and I was able to get at least some of my senses back intact.

"You're welcome. Anything for my friends." I replied.

"Your loyalty is most admirable. It's a great pity that there aren't any others like you at camp." Athena said.

"Well, I do my best." I offered.

"Well, you succeed. Such traits would normally be a great weapon for your enemies to use against you, and when they do, you'd meet your inevitable end at their hands. But in your case, it seems to only push you even further and make it all the more guaranteed to achieve the victory you seek." Athena said.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at all touched by her words.

"Thank you, Athena. It's too bad some of the other gods don't share in your wisdom. They all seem to think that because of this prophecy, I'm dangerous." I said.

"You're not dangerous at all Percy. You're just simply misjudged and misunderstood. You may lack some qualities, and that may be dangerous in some cases. But based on what I've seen and heard of you so far, I'd say Olympus in truth has nothing to worry about." Athena offered, placing her hands on my shoulders.

"I don't know Athena. I mean, with how many close calls there were, I'm not entirely sure if I'll be good enough to save Olympus and the world from Kronos." I said, feeling myself deflate from the matter yet again.

"You will be good enough Percy. I know it." Athena said.

"How can you be so sure? I mean, I know you're the goddess of wisdom, but how can you be so certain of this?" I asked.

"I can't pretend to know exactly what the others believe and/or think on the matter. But as the goddess of wisdom, I don't believe Kronos would go through such great lengths to try and kill you if he didn't at all feel threatened by you." Athena stated with complete ease.

"You think Kronos is just as threatened by me as the gods are?" I asked shocked.

"Never has he ever paid so much attention to one young hero before. He knows just as much as the rest of us that fate has much in store for you. And considering how his failed attempt to have the sisters of fate change his fate so he wouldn't be overthrown by his own children turned out so long ago, I'd say he knows you're mostly likely to save Olympus rather than destroy it." Athena answered.

For a moment, I forgot that this was Annabeth's mother that I was talking to. She was just as wise as Annabeth, but she was much less stubborn, arrogant, and prideful than her daughter. And I couldn't help but feel a huge wave of relief in myself at this discovery.

"Just as he did so many years ago, he's burdened with his fear of what he knows will come to past, and his desperation to find a way to make it so it doesn't come to pass." Athena said.

"That's a hell of a point." I commented, which got Athena to snicker with a genuine smile on her face.

"Keep your chin up Percy." Athena started with the typical 'chin up' gesture by using her index finger to raise my head up.

"You've come through for my daughter just now, just as you have in your other quests as well. And I know for a fact you will in the future no matter what, and that Olympus is in good hands through you." Athena said.

Even though this wasn't at all the kind of meeting I'd expect to have with her, I knew for a fact that I had the uttermost gratitude for the goddess of wisdom right now.

"I can definitely see why you're the goddess of wisdom Athena. That is without a doubt, the absolute best advice I've ever gotten in my life." I said.

Athena smiled more, and it had me smiling with her.

"Thank you, Athena." I said.

"It's quite a pity that your father isn't more like you." Athena commented.

I didn't quite know how to respond to that one.

"A young man like you should be greatly rewarded for everything you've done, especially recently speaking." Athena said.

"Honestly, the kind of hug you gave me was more than enough." I said without thinking much on what I was saying.

"The kind of hug I gave you?" Athena asked.

I felt the blush from earlier slowly surface back to my face. Even though I didn't give a very detailed meaning of what I was referring to, I knew it wouldn't take long at all for Athena to see what I was talking about.

"Ah, I see." Athena said as a matter of fact.

See?

"Well, keep using your loyalty to drive you forward Percy Jackson. And in the meantime, I will await to properly repay you for saving my daughter." Athena said with a big smile on her face.

"I will." I promised.

Athena nodded and gave me one last hug, one that I decided to return as a thank you, before turning around and leaving me a much happier and better spirited demigod.

-Flashback ends-

Everyone who wasn't Athena, or I started muttering to each other, not understand what Athena was getting at. But I knew what this was, and all things considered, I probably wouldn't want any other god helping me with such a task.

"So be it." Zeus stated, though he was still lost on the matter.

And with that, my new journey was ready to begin.

-Line Break-

After the assembly was taken care of, the Olympians saw fit to celebrate this amazing and hard-earned victory. It was pretty much like the celebration that was thrown after my quest to save Annabeth and Artemis from Atlas, only Christmas had nothing to do with this celebration. And even though we were overall happy, many of us were still feeling the heartbreaking pain of all the family and friends that we had lost in this war. And even if no one else could see it, I knew Annabeth, Grover, and even Thalia all felt bad for Luke dying. For fuck's sake to them, it was no more than what he deserved. Fuck him.

As for me, I got a few congratulations from most of the other demigods. I even got a few from a few of the gods. The ones I didn't a congratulations from were about a snice as they were willing to be for public, give or take Ares telling me to watch myself if I intend to survive here at all. Hades was nice enough to say I did well, but he was still pissed at me for making a fool out of him back at the River Styx. The only thing he was glad about was that only he, Nico, and I will ever know about it, and no one else ever will. Zeus, well, the nicest I got from him was him asking me not to make him put up with me any more unbearable than what it was mostly likely gonna be. Likewise, that's all I gotta say to him.

The only god I didn't see at the party was Hermes. I'd imagine he was still heartbroken about Luke's death. Unlike the other three, I couldn't exactly blame him. After all, no parent should ever have to bury their own child. So, I went looking for him, and I found him in a side courtyard of the palace. He was staring at an Iris-message in the mist of a fountain. Hermes didn't seem to notice me approach. The Iris-message images were going so fast I could hardly understand them. Mortal newscasts from all over the country flashed by scenes of Typhon's destruction, the wreckage our battle had left across Manhattan, the president doing a news conference, the mayor of New York, some army vehicles riding down the Avenue of the Americas.

"Amazing." Hermes murmured.

"What?" I asked, getting his attention.

"Three thousand years, and I will never get over the power of the Mist . . . and mortal ignorance." Hermes answered.

"You don't say." I replied.

"Look at them. They've already decided Typhon was a freak series of storms. Don't I wish. They haven't figured out how all the statues in Lower Manhattan got removed from their pedestals and hacked to pieces. They keep showing a shot of Susan B. Anthony strangling Frederick Douglass. But I imagine they'll even come up with a logical explanation for that." Hermes carried on.

"As logic as they can. How bad is the city?" I asked.

"Surprisingly, not too bad. The mortals are shaken, of course. But this is New York. I've never seen such a resilient bunch of humans. I imagine they'll be back to normal in a few weeks; and of course, I'll be helping." Hermes answered.

"You?" I raised an eyebrow.

"I'm the messenger of the gods. It's my job to monitor what the mortals are saying, and if necessary, help them make sense of what's happened. I'll reassure them. Trust me, they'll put this down to a freak earthquake or a solar flare. Anything but the truth." Hermes explained in a bitter tone.

I already knew why.

"I owe you an apology." I offered.

"And why is that?" Hermes gave me a cautious look.

"I thought you were a bad father. I thought you abandoned Luke because you knew his future and didn't do anything to stop it." I admitted.

"I did know his future." Hermes said miserably.

"But you knew more than just that he'd turn evil. You understood what he would do in the end. You knew he'd make the right choice. But you couldn't tell him, could you?" I continued.

"No one can tamper with fate, Percy, not even a god. If I had warned him what was to come, or tried to influence his choices, I would've made things even worse. Staying silent, staying away from him . . . that was the hardest thing I've ever done." Hermes stared at the fountain.

"You had to let him find his own path and play his part in saving Olympus." I said.

"I should not have gotten mad at Annabeth. When Luke visited her in San Francisco . . . well, I knew she would have a part to play in his fate. I foresaw that much. I thought perhaps she could do what I could not and save him. When she refused to go with him, I could barely contain my rage." Hermes sighed.

"Welcome to my club. Having to put up with Annabeth is a fucking nightmare." I commented.

"But I should have known better. I was really angry with myself." Hermes said.

"My advice, be mad at Annabeth. Everything'll be a lot easier then. Not like she doesn't give any reasons otherwise." I commented.

That got out a snort of amusement from him at least. I didn't know if he knew I was serious, or if he only thought I was joking though. But it was only for a second before he looked lost.

"Other than the obvious, I'm not sure where we go from here, cousin." Hermes said.

I had an idea.

"A long time ago, you told me the hardest thing about being a god was not being able to help your children. You also told me that you couldn't give up on your family, no matter how tempting they made it." I started.

"I did." Hermes replied.

"Well, as the saying goes, no parent should have to bury their child. And you have other children. Honor Luke by recognizing them. Don't make them suffer like Luke did. Let's help the other gods understand how important it is to acknowledge their children." I offered.

Hermes raised an eyebrow and studied me for a minute, as if he was searching for something.

"This is the reason you really accepted godhood, isn't it?" Hermes stated.

"You gods know a lot, but even you can learn something." I answered.

"After three thousand years, you think the gods can change their nature?" Hermes laughed.

"Yeah, I do. After all, you never are too old to learn a new trick. You can change, and I'm going to be the one to help you all the way. Same with the other gods to. I'm going to teach them all what it's really about to be a parent." I replied.

Hermes seemed surprised by that.

"How can you be so sure?" Hermes asked.

"Because god or not, I'm gonna be the one to kick your ass if you don't." I said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Hermes stared at me for a minute, before breaking out a smile on his face.

"Percy Jackson, you might just teach us a thing or two." Hermes said.

"I intend to." I commented.

"I have a boy in Wisconsin. Two girls in Los Angeles. A few others. Will you help me see that they get to camp?"

"I promise." I said.

Hermes seemed pleased by my answer as he got up and gave a firm friendly pat on my shoulder.

"I think Olympus may have some hope after all." Hermes said as he took his leave.

As he left, I turned my attention to the fountain, just to have something to stare at as I dived into my thoughts. I knew the task I was setting for myself was gonna be a lot of work. Some parts of it were most likely gonna be impossible, even. But I was willing to meet the challenge head on, especially if it meant avoiding yet another pandemic like another war with the Titans. I mean, really. Something like that would've gotten everyone killed. And quite frankly, the mortals already were struggling enough as it is from the Swine Flu Pandemic. What would be next, a pandemic that would make the swine flu look like child's play? ("The Last Olympian" was written in 2009, which was the same year that the Swine Flu Pandemic started in case no one remembers that at all, and here we are having the story foreshadowing Corona for 2020.)

"A penny for your thoughts?" A feminine voice asked, breaking me from my thoughts.

I smirk at it, recognizing the goddess of wisdom's voice anywhere. I turned to her direction about to greet her but ended up stopping dead in my track at the sight of here. Athena stood there, leaning against the wall with her hands behind her back. But what stopped me was how she looked. Her hair was in curls, hanging down to the back of her shoulder blades. And the dress she was wearing was silver, sleeveless, strapless, hugged her figure like a second lair of skin, and that almost revealed her whole legs. And she had a pair of black heel sandals on her feet. I felt like my jaw just fell off my face and landed right on the ground.

"I felt like dressing up. Do I look okay?" Athena asked.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, . . ." I just went, not able to get a single word out of my mouth, and surprised that I didn't notice until now that Athena was truly a divine beauty.

"*giggles* You're sweet." Athena said as she wrapped her arms around me for a hug.

I slowly wrapped my arms around her in response but ended up freezing when I felt the heat of her skin. Looking down, I saw that her dress did nothing to hide her back. Everything above her waist was uncovered back there. I couldn't help but blush and gulp at this, once again not believing that I never noticed just how beautiful Athena really was. And the way she smelled when a whiff of her ended up hitting my nose only made it worse. Orange, jasmine, and rose mixed together. That really made me feel pretty lightheaded.

"Anyways," Athena started as she unwrapped herself from me and then held out to me a cupcake with blue frosting.

"Happy birthday." Athena finished.

"What?" I asked, still feeling in the state of shock.

"You're sixteen now, remember? You made your choice on the first second of your seventeenth year of being alive." Athena explained.

"Oh yeah. Slipped my mind actually." I answered, getting another giggle from Athena.

"Go on, make a wish." Athena said, placing the cupcake in my hand.

"Did you bake this yourself?" I asked.

"Not something I do very often, but I really wanted to do something nice for you." Athena answered.

"You really are one hell of a woman." I complimented, getting her to giggle again.

I thought about what to wish for, and out of everything, there was one thing my mind couldn't help but go to. I wish I could get more of Athena's complete beauty. With that wish in mind, I blew out the candle. With the flame gone, Athena pulled the candle out for me. I started eating the cupcake then, and it was delicious. Not as good as my mom's bakery of course, but it was definitely a dead second. I tried to focus on eating it, but when my eyes landed on Athena again, that made it difficult. She was licking the candle clean, but she was doing it slowly. She had her head facing the direction of the wall as she did it. Even though I was probably overthinking this, I couldn't help but think that she was purposely teasing me right now. I had to put all my focus back to eating my cupcake, but it wasn't easy. Everything about Athena was really starting to turn me on and fill my head with quite a few perverted fantasies.

"Thank you." I said as I finished the cupcake.

"You're welcome." Athena replied as she threw the candle at the Iris message in the fountain, and they turned into a gust of wind.

"Come. Let's dance." Athena said, wrapping her arm in mine and taking me to the dance floor.

All I could do was gulp again, feeling heat rise to my face, and having a difficult time trying to shake it off as we got to where everyone was dancing at. Bringing me to the dance floor, she wrapped her arms around me and began our dance. I wrapped my arms around her after, but still had a difficult time getting my head out of the gutter. I could feel a few pairs of eyes towards us, but I was too busy trying to get my head out of the gutter.

["Tonight" by Emphatic]

If I ask you what you need right now

Would you tell me the truth?

Cause I can't imagine how

To live my life without you

A smile from an angel

A touch on my shoulder

With you I know I want to grow older

Tonight, we could do anything

In your arms, I'll be alright

All of my life, searching for someone

In your arms heaven is closer tonight

Athena leaned in on this, holding us together so no empty space was between us. I felt the temperature going up quite a bit to say the least.

I may not be the best man

Got my looks but I can't dance

Make mistakes like anyone

I know it's true

When you finally find the reason

You're my sky for any season

You know that I'd do anything for you

I'm holding you close, I won't let you go

In my arms, heaven I swear

Tonight, we could do anything

In your arms, I'll be alright

All of my life, searching for someone

In your arms heaven is closer

A drop in the ocean, a door that's left open

Time has been frozen, we live in this moment tonight

Athena had her face against mine and started to sway her hips against mine. By now, I had to have been as red as a tomato.

A smile from an angel, a touch on my shoulder

With you I know I wanna grow older

Tonight, we could do anything

In your arms, I'll be alright

All of my life, searching for someone

In your arms heaven is closer tonight

"Let's go." Athena suddenly said the song ended.

Then she flashed us away from everyone. Where we ended up flashing to looked like more or less like a bookstore. Like the bookstore in the movie "El Desperado", starred by Antonio Banderas, only a greek culture version of it.

"This your place?" I asked.

"Yeah. But with how I usually tend to do nothing but read here, and I've pretty much read every book I have here at least once, I don't spend much time here anymore." Athena answered leading further in.

"Sounds boring." I commented.

"Yeah. I usually try to hang with Hestia most of the time. And Artemis occasionally." Athena replied as we arrived in the kitchen.

Boringness help me cool down a bit, but only a bit.

"Water?" Athena offered.

"Yes please." I answered.

Athena got two cups and filled them with water, one for me and one for herself. She offered me my cup, which I was more than happy to accept. I wasn't sure if my power over water was gonna be of any help for this situation, but I was happy to try anyways. And I was grateful to the peaceful silence and just drinking water time we were having.

"Some birthday, huh? Defeating the lord of time, being made a god, having a whole different life ahead of you, must be overwhelming, huh?" Athena stated.

"Definitely will take some time to get used to. But I'll get there eventually." I answered.

"I certainly hope so. I would hate to see you have a nervous breakdown about all of this or something." Athena commented.

"Well, either or, definitely a birthday I'm happy to remember for the rest of my life. And thanks, for giving a minute to celebrate it, by the way." I said, finishing up my water.

"Speaking of which, I haven't given you your present yet." Athena said.

"You didn't have to get me anything Athena." I said surprised, but grateful.

"I know, but I really wanted you to have something special. Something I was hoping you would deeply appreciate and cherish for the rest of eternity." Athena said.

"Thanks. So, what is it?" I asked curious.

Athena finished her water before speaking.

"Close your eyes." Athena said.

"Okay." I said, closing my eyes.

"No peaking." Athena said in a softer tone.

I just nodded my head without a word. I had no idea what she was giving me, nor did I have any idea as to what exactly she meant by something special. My mind was racing at all the possible possibilities that the gift could be. But I knew I was about to find out s I heard her move. I was expecting her to tell me to open my eyes and or hold out my hands. What I got though was her pressing her lips against mine for a kiss. I was once again shocked in place as I felt Athena kiss me. There was so much heat and passion I felt from her lips, that I felt like I was in a hot tub with the water turned to the highest heat it can go. It wasn't until the kiss ended that I slowly opened my eyes and looked at Athena with shock in my eyes.

"Wow." I breathed out.

"What do you think?" Athena asked.

"My first kiss. That'll definitely be something I'll never forget." I said out of breath.

Even though Annabeth kissed me once in the Labyrinth, I don't count that as my first kiss. Sure, it was a first a girl kissed me, and I'm not an expert with women, but with how that kiss was in the middle of a matter of life and death and it was more of a way of saying good luck, I wouldn't say that's a first kiss.

"It's not the kiss." Athena said.

"I don't get it. What's the gift if not the kiss?" I asked confused.

"Me." Athena answered and then grabbed both sided of my head and brought me in for another kiss.

This kiss was filled with even more passion than the other as she seemed to eliminate the space between us. But as what she said sunk in, my state of shock faded away and I found myself kissing her back, trying to offer the same passion. The kiss led to me pushing her against her kitchen counter and my hands groping every part of her exposed back. Athena started moaning into the kiss as my hands explored her exposed skin. That moaning lead to her then turning the heat up by shoving her tongue in my mouth and started Frenching me. That got me to start moaning with her, with one of my hands leaving her back and moving to her exposed leg, lifting it up to my waist to grope it and try to bring us closer to each other. That got Athena to wrap that leg around me and her arms around my neck to try and do the same.

I don't know how long we were at this. It could've been a few second, a few minutes, maybe even longer. I didn't know, but I didn't care either. The only thing I did care about was the goddess I was making out with and being lost to the world with. The kiss didn't stop or falter at all until we both needed to catch our breaths. Trying to catch our breaths, we just stayed how we were, looking at each other. Not saying a single, we just stared at each other, having what people would probably call a lovesick look.

"Athena." I whispered.

"I want you, Percy. I want us to be together. I want you to be my other half." Athena said as she started rubbing her nose on mine.

"Really?" I asked.

"I can't stop myself Percy. Ever since we first met, I can't stop thinking about you. I can't really explain it, but I've found myself attracted to you when I first laid eyes on you. I feel a desire to have you to myself, to be with you, to complete myself with, and to spend the rest of eternity with." Athena answered and then started kissing the side of my face.

"Wow. I guess there is power in a birthday wish after all." I commented out loud to myself.

"This is what you wished for? Having me?" Athena asked.

I didn't really mean for her to hear that. But I said it, and now she knows. Might as well come clean because of it now.

"Yes. Out of everything I could've wished for, this is what I wanted. Having the beautiful goddess of wisdom in a relationship." I answered.

"Good. Because as of right now, I'm all yours. And I want you just as badly." Athena replied.

I went in to kiss her again, which she was happy to take, and then we just held each other. I felt like I was the luckiest guy in the world as I held Athena, thanking Chaos for this great fortune, and excited what fate had in store for me now. As we held each other, I ended getting a whiff of her scent again, only much more than before. Considering everything, I didn't bother trying to not be turned on by the smell of orange, jasmine, and rose. I just let myself get turned on and let my arousal be free.

"You must be tired." Athena suggested.

"Not much, really. Plus, I can't quite exactly say I have a place to stay on Olympus yet." I replied.

"Well, there's plenty of room in my place. But, you know, it only has one bed." Athena said as she started tracing the back of my legs with her foot, which it and the other got free of her sandals some time ago.

"Sounds good to me, if you don't mind the Son of Poseidon's water." I commented.

"Take me to bed. Right up the stairs." Athena commanded.

Moving my hands to where her thighs meet her ass, I lifted her up in my arms with her wrapping her arms and legs around me and began leading her to her bed. I wrapped on arm around her waist and the other under her ass to make sure I had a good grip on her. As I started heading up the stairs, Athena started kissing me again. I kissed back but stayed focus on getting up the stairs, so we didn't end up falling down and getting hurt. But knowing that Athena and I were a thing now seemed to give my hands a mind of their own as they moved up to grab Athena by her ass, left hand on her left cheek and right hand on right cheek. Athena gasp at the sudden movement. I was worried I might've done something wrong but didn't need to worry long as Athena tightened her hold around me and started grinding her body against me. Needless to say, the more of her I saw, felt, and smelled, the more I wanted.

"I want you so much." I moaned as we reached the slightly opened door of her bedroom.

"Then take me. I'm all yours." Athena moaned back and shoved my head into her swelled up cleavage.

Despite how turned on I was, I couldn't stop the blush from appearing on my face again. I've never been this close to a woman before, nor have I ever had this kind of attention from a woman before. And the smell I was getting from her was just intoxicating. Athena was just impossible to not feel aroused by. And to think that this woman was the niece that my father has that he despises so much. But I was more than happy to test these new waters. I'd imagine his reaction to learning what's happening between Athena and I would make him go apeshit like a tsunami.

Moving into Athena's bedroom, I started kissing and licking her cleavage. Athena responded with a series of moans of pleasure and started kissing and licking my face. I brought her to and sat her on the edge of her bed. With her seated, I moved my hands to the top of her dress, which was at just above her tits since her dress was strapless. I stopped when I grabbed her dress. I looked up at her with a look that asked her if this was okay. Athena just smirked at she placed her hands above me and guided my hands to pull her dress down, revealing her tits. Then she pulled my head into her chest again, and I happily started to devour her tits. Athena moaned as she held me close to her and started kissing my head again. My hands ended up roaming and groping her back as I worshipped her tits.

"Percy, I only wore this dress for at the party for you. Now that we're away from the party and alone, having this dress won't due anymore. Help me out of it." Athena moaned out.

As I helped her out of her dress, I noticed that not only did she have no bra on, as if there was nothing covering her back didn't make that obvious enough, I saw that she had no panties on as well. With that making me want to test the new waters even more, I got on my knees in front of her and brought her netherlips to my mouth.

"Oh Percy." Athena gasped with a moan.

Feeling creative, I decided to grab her by her ass and moved her off her bed so I could eat her up in my hands.

"Oh Chaos, don't stop. Don't stop. Keeping going, son of Poseidon." Athena moaned as she wrapped her legs around me and started grinding herself against my face.

She had some strong legs. Her thighs seem to have a perfect blend of fitness and jiggle in them, just like her ass. It made me think of a few women I've heard who are like that. Such as Jennifer Lopez, Iggy Azalea, Ariana Grande, and quite a few others I could name. But I wasn't gonna dwell on that since I only wanted one hot piece of ass on my mind, and that was Athena.

"More. I need more." Athena demanded while beginning to move faster.

Feeling that she had a good enough hold to keep herself from falling, I let my hands roam and grope all around her thighs and ass, craving the feel of them in my hands. Athena's moans got louder and her grinding on my face got more eager and frantic. I took that as an inspiration to eagerly run my tongue up and down her netherlip. Athena was throwing her head around in her moans. The was she threw her head around started messing up her hair. Something I imagined she'd have a bit of a fit about later. But I liked it. I thought she looked even hotter from it, especially since I was the one causing this to her. I decided to take it up a notch and started to tongue fuck her as I sucked on her clit.

"Oh fuck!" Athena yelled as she tightened her legs around my head and grabbed two fistfuls of my hair.

I kept eating the goddess of wisdom out until she finally came. And it was quite a first orgasm for her. I could only lap up a little of it because it ended up splattering all over my face. A little of it even got on the corner of Athena's opened mouth. Just like dog saliva, my powers over water can keep me from getting wet from water, but not a woman's orgasm.

"Oh fuck." Athena whispered as her hold on me loosened.

I moved her back to the edge of her bed to make sure she didn't end up hitting the floor. She took a minute to catch her breath. I decided to lap up whatever of her release that got on her and try to not have my face touch her skin since the release she got on me was still there. Speaking of which, she still had droplet or two on the corner of her mouth.

"You got a little bit on your corner lip." I said.

Athena said nothing, just had me watch in absolute rapture as her nimble tongue lick them up. It was incredibly sexy.

"And you have it all over you." Athena commented, smirking.

"Indeed." I replied.

"Come here." Athena ordered as she brought me up to her.

I said nothing as she brought me to her and laid me down on her bed right next to her. As I laid down on the bed, she leaned down to me and gave me a firm kiss. Then she lolled her tongue out and started cleaning my face of her orgasm. I felt very aroused at the attention I was getting from Athena. Sighing in delight, my hands seemed to find a mind of their own as they started groping Athena's whole body. They apparently seemed to really appreciate squeezing Athena's tits and ass the most. Athena moaned at the feeling of my hands groping her body and took her time cleaning my face up.

After a few minutes of her slowly cleaning me up, she started to slowly trace her lips and tongue from my face down to my neck. I just moaned as my hands started tugging her ass towards me. Athena seemed to understand the craving I was feeling right now and started moving her lower half of her body towards me. Then she snapped her fingers, and all my clothes were being removed from me and floated on a dresser in the room, leaving my in the nude just like her. Being freed of my clothes, Athena returned planting kisses on me. I could help myself from having a few minor gasps and intakes of breath as her lips and tongue continued to travel downward. She started to tease me as she reached my nipples.

"Oh Athena." I moaned as she deftly flicked her tongue on my nipples and tugged on them as she lightly bit onto them.

I couldn't help but wonder if this feeling was what women get when their nipples get played with. But I didn't wonder for long as she started going even further down, tracing my abdomen with her tongue. I felt goosebumps all over me at her teasing, and my mouth was practically watering as Athena also brought her lower half of her body right next to me. But her teasing came to a halt when she reached my waist. Athena looked back at me and smirked at the hitch in my breath as her soft hand gently grasped my flesh rod and began stroking it. She also made sure to start swaying and shaking her ass as it was in my one o'clock. My hands once again started moving on their own accord as my left hand grasped her left ass cheek, and my right hand went under her and reached up to grab her right ass cheek.

Quick joke: What did the one ass cheek say to the other ass cheek?

Together, we can hold this shit back.

She laid down on her abdomen, trapping my right arm underneath her and placing her ass right next to my face. The combination of Athena stroking me and her ass being in my grasp turned me on and got my cock to its full erection.

"Thank you, Athena." I said as my way of thanking the gods, or just God, for letting me have such a breath-taking moment.

Without saying a single word, Athena took me into her mouth, starting by gently sucking on the tip before moving her mouth down along the shaft, getting as much of my erection in as possible and using her hand to massage what she couldn't.

"Holy fuck Athena." I groaned into her ass as I started squeezing and groping the glorious six and started sucking on it as she continued to get more and more of my cock down her throat.

Athena only moaned in response. It was quite a mystery how a virgin goddess could feel so good at doing such activities. I guess she wasn't the goddess of wisdom, intelligence, and other things for nothing. Either or, I groaned into her ass as I sucked and lightly bit on it and Athena began deep throating me and managed to press her nose into my nut sack. I even felt her take an intake of breath through her nose, getting a whiff of my smell, and letting the air out of her nose and onto my nuts, leaving goosebumps on me again.

"Oh fuck! I don't think I'm going to last much longer Athena." I hissed, struggling to maintain control of myself under Athena's pleasurable assault.

I couldn't even help myself from wanting even more. So, I brought Athena's pelvis onto myself and began a 69. Keeping a firm grip on her, I pulled her tightly to my mouth and licked her from clit to asshole. I hungrily probed her ass with my tongue, enjoying her ass about as much as I did her pussy. Athena started to moan and wither in my grasp as I assaulted her ass. She seemed to be in as much pleasure as I was, but it also seemed to inspire her to suck harder and rock her head back and forth at a faster pace. Her faster pace had my hips start to meet her to the point she was taking me past her throat. I was worried I was gonna end up choking her, but with how her reactions to what we were doing didn't change, I had a feeling she was gonna be just fine.

"I'm gonna cum!" I said against her ass.

I didn't know if she was able to hear the words come out given how her ass made anything from my mouth sound like mumbles. But she seemed to get the message as we both started going faster and harder against each other. And kept at it we did, to the point where I couldn't hold back anymore and came straight into her mouth. Athena screamed as she had a few drops of an orgasm pour from her pussy. A few drops which I was more than happy to lap up. We both let each other out of our mouths as we tried to catch our breaths.

"Oh Chaos. That was amazing." Athena moaned.

"You're so fucking amazing." I got out as I groped and rubbed my hands all over her ass, back, and thighs.

Athena just gave my tip one last kiss before rolling off me and turning around to lay beside me. We said nothing as we took a minute to catch our breaths.

"I've never felt so alive." Athena breathed out.

"That makes two of us." I commented.

"And to think we almost died just recently." Athena commented.

How right she was. Kronos almost won the war. Just a few more inches, and he would've won. Luckily, things didn't turn out the way he intended, and we were able to take his victory from him. One hell of a way to have a birthday.

"Best birthday ever." I commented, earning myself another seductive look from Athena.

"Not yet, it isn't." Athena responded.

"No?" I replied.

"Not until the deal is sealed." Athena added as she slowly traced her finger on her netherlips.

Despite already experiencing an orgasm, I was still turned on and rock hard. So, Athena didn't really need to say anymore to get me to move over to her and hover above her. She wrapped her arms around my neck and spread her legs apart and had them bent up.

"Once we do this, there's no going back Athena." I said, wanting to make sure she was 100% on board with what we were about to do.

"We both want it, Percy. So don't worry about anything. Take me." Athena said, digging her fingers my hair in the back of my head.

I leaned down to kiss her. This kiss was a slow and passionate one to express the feelings I was developing for her. As the kiss went on, I reached down and rubbed my cock's head up and down her slit. With every up stroke I brushed her clit with my cock's head. Ever so slowly, I moved into position to seal the deal. Athena raised her hips, so my cock was lined up and aiming at her virgin hole. I pushed forward just a little until I encountered her hymen

"This'll hurt Athena." I warned.

"I know. I'm ready." Athena responded.

I firmly kissed her and hugged her tightly as I plunged my cock through her hymen and fully buried myself in Athena.

"OH FUCK!" Athena screamed against my lips.

Still holding and kissing her, I didn't move inside her anymore after that. But I started kissing her face, ears, and neck, and comb my fingers in her hair to try and distract her from the pain she felt. Athena just whimpered and groaned in pain. She even had a tear run down the side of her face. I kissed that away as I continued to try and distract Athena from her pain.

And that's how we remained for the past few minutes until Athena started slowly rocking her hips against me. I took that as her way of saying she was ready to continue. So, I started rocking my hips against her as well. We had a slow and steady pace to make sure I didn't end up hurting her any more than what I just did. My strokes remained slow until I gradually deepened them until I was taking full but gentle strokes into Athena. Athena wrapped her legs around my waist as I started to speed up.

"Holy fuck, you're tight." I groaned.

"Don't hold back Percy. I want it. I want it so bad. Fuck me." Athena moaned.

And with that, I was giving Athena the full speed, deep, hard fuck she demanded. My mind ended being a scrambled mess as I continued to fuck her, and Athena made no effort to stifle the "Oh fuck!" and "Don't stop!" that kept coming from her mouth. Each one seemed to make me put more effort into fucking Athena to the point where I was fucking her out of control and making loud slapping noises every time my hips contacted hers, and with every thrust, my balls were hitting the bottom of Athena's ass.

"YES! THAT'S IT PERCY! THAT'S IT! FUCK ME! FUCK ME LIKE I'M YOUR WHORE!" Athena screamed.

I was too bust fucking her to make a reply. But I was more than happy to do just as she said. And making Athena moan nonstop for the next several minutes was just as wonderful. It was starting to make me body feel sore though, but I continued to push through. And the more we fucked, the closer my next orgasm began to build up.

"Athena, I'm gonna cum." I breathed out.

"DO IT! CUM IN ME! FILL ME WITH YOU CUM! PAINT MY WALLS WITH YOUR SEED! OH FUCK!" Athena screamed and then stopped meeting my thrusts as she came on my cock.

I thrust into her a couple more times until I couldn't hold it back anymore and let out my orgasm in her. We both collapsed as we were both spent and tired. I tried no to crush her, but the soreness I felt didn't help much.

"Now it's the best birthday of your life." Athena got out.

I just gave Athena a firm kiss in response. I had half a mind to tell her that I love her, but I had a feeling it was too soon for me to say such things yet. After all, we only just became a thing, and despite the obvious things about each other, I felt like it'd be hard to say that I love her when I didn't know her on a personal level just yet. But I knew for a fact that I had very strong feelings for her now.

"Would you mind if I stayed the night?" I asked instead.

"I don't intend to let you go." Athena answered.

And with that, we just wrapped ourselves with one another and fell asleep in a firm and heart filled embrace.

-Line Break-

"And that's the reason why I originally decided to be a virgin goddess." Athena said.

"Wow. That's one hell of a story." I commented.

It's been almost a month since the war ended, and I accepted godhood from the Olympians. It was nighttime, and Athena and I were currently laying in Olympus' gardens with me resting on a small curve in the garden's surface, and Athena laying on her back on me, and me having my arms around her. We were here, sharing life stories with each other. And of course, we've been keeping our relationship a secret from everyone. Everyone thought our relationship was just her teaching me how to live as a god and how to control my powers and dominions. Which we were truthfully doing, but not as much as we were making out, goofing around, and having sex.

I shared with Athena a few more details on all the quests I went on in the past as well as what kind of life I lived before I found out the truth about me being a demigod and how the two parts of my life compare with one another. Like back before I learned the truth, Grover and my mother were the only friends I had, and no one else was interested in being a friend of mine. And like how when mom needed to protect me, mom and I had to put up with Gabe Ugliano, who I always called Smelly Gabe, and the reason being he was nothing but a lazy ass slob. Or as I tend to think of him as after I rewatch the 1998 Godzilla movie a few months ago with Rachel, a douche bag, gutter slime, dog shit, puke chunk. Truthfully, I'd say both sides of my life had their pros and cons.

Athena shared many interesting things about her that I never really knew much about before. Like how the reason why monsters fear the aegis shields exactly is because the very first one was the Aegis she received as a gift from Perseus, and even though other ones don't, hers works like Medusa's gaze and turns anyone who looks into the shield's eyes into stone.

She also shared with me the story of her childhood friend Pallas, who was all but her equal in the art of war. However, one day, as they were practicing some martial exercises, Athena accidentally killed her friend. Grief-stricken and wanting to preserve her memory, she added her friend's name to her own. That's why many people know Athena as Athena Pallas.

Another story was the story of her and Arachne, a mortal craftswoman who boasted that she was more skillful than Athena herself. Athena offered her a chance to repent, but after Arachne refused, she challenged her to a weaving duel. The goddess fashioned a beautiful tapestry which illustrated the gruesome fate of the mortals who had the hubris of challenging the gods. Arachne, on the other hand, chose for a subject the stories of the mortals unjustly victimized by the gods. She didn't even have a chance to finish it: enraged and offended, Athena tore Arachne's fabric to pieces and turned her into a spider. As such, Arachne is doomed to weave ever since.

And what seemed to be her personal favorite story, the story of her first time being a mother. The story of her adopted son Erichthonius, an early king of ancient Athens. Athena visited Hephaestus' workshop to ask for weapons. However, the smith god tried to seduce the virgin goddess, who fled in disgust. Hephaestus chased her and managed to catch her, in order to rape her. Athena resisted and during the struggle, Hephaestus' semen fell onto Athena's thigh. The goddess took some wool to wipe it away and threw it on the ground. Which ended up getting Gaia pregnant. Out of that, Erichthonius was born. Athena decided to raise him secretly under her wing and hid him in a box.

The goddess gave the box to the daughters of King Cecrops of Athens and told them to keep the box shut. However, two of them, Aglaurus and Herse, curious to see what was inside, opened it and saw the infant Erichthonius wrapped around a snake. Driven in madness due to the sight, the two sisters along with the third, Pandrosus, fled and fell off the Acropolis to their deaths.

When Erichthonius reached adulthood, he drove the usurper Amphictyon out of the throne, and became the new leader of Athens. He was married to the naiad Praxithea, with whom he had a son, Pandion the First. Throughout his reign, Erichthonius was protected by Athena, for whom he created the Panathenaic Festival. It was also believed that he invented the four-horse chariot, and after his death, Zeus was so impressed that he transformed him into a constellation, the Charioteer.

Speaking of Athens, she thought it'd be humorous if I learned more about her quarrel with my father for Athens. Poseidon claimed that the city would benefit more from him than Athena and to prove this, he struck his trident into a rock, creating a seawater stream which welled up in the Temple of Erechtheion on the north side of the Acropolis. Athena did nothing spectacular, merely planted an olive tree. Cecrops, being the first king of Athens, was the judge of the contest, and decided that the olive tree was much more beneficial, since it gave the Athenians fruit, oil, and wood. Needless to say, my father was pissed about this.

Even though she originally wasn't tempted at all by romance, passion, or love beforehand, Hephaestus trying to rape her made her think she was best being single. But being a mother to Erichthonius made her happy for a time, and it was happiness she wanted to have as often as she could. And when she discovered her ability to have children the same way Zeus brought her into this world, she decided this was what she would do to avoid anything happening like what Hephaestus attempted once.

"You live one hell of a life as a former virgin goddess." I stated, earning myself a smile from Athena and her rolling on her stomach to look at me.

"Of course, had Poseidon brought you into this world sooner, I could've learned much earlier the joys of being romantically involved." Athena responded.

"Better late than never. Though I still can't believe we're a thing." I said, combing my fingers in her curly hair.

"Me either." Athena said before bringing my hand to her lips and pressing them against my palm.

The interesting thing about our relationship was that I felt like the relationship was something you'd find on a porno. A teenager fucking his friend's mom, how pornographic is that? I never thought I'd be in such a position. But I don't have any reason to complain.

"It's quite pornographic, ain't it?" I said, saying out loud my thoughts.

"Pornographic, huh?" Athena asked, getting in a seductive mood.

"A teenager fucking his friend's mother. That'd be something some people could stumble upon if they looked up porn videos." I answered.

"Hmm, so they'd watch something like this?" Athena asked before her tongue lolls out against my hand and licks her way up my index finger.

"Or this?" Athena continued before putting my index finger in her mouth, sucking on it.

I wasn't expecting such a gesture. As much as I liked it and was steadily becoming aroused by the action, I was weary as to how far it would go. Not that I didn't want it, I always want Athena. It just wasn't really the best place. Athena however seemed to throw all caution out the door for herself as she slowly engulfed my finger, up and down, repeating the action. She giggled as she took my finger out of her mouth.

"But what about this?" Athena continued and traveled down to my crotch.

I felt myself get overheated and moaned as Athena undid my pants and brought my forming erection out. Then started moaning even louder as Athena started jacking me off. I was getting excited and tense. The pressure was building, and my heart was beating rapidly.

"Athena." I moaned.

She then moved back up while keeping a firm grip on me.

"Is this for me?" Athena said and then wiggled her tongue on my lips.

"You already know the answer." I replied, felling my resolve to be cautious crumble as my hand once again seemed to develop a mind of their own and moved to grip Athena ass.

"You never can keep your hands, mouth, or tongue away from there, can you?" Athena stated.

"Not my fault you have such a scrumptious ass and delicious thighs." I replied.

"Well maybe we should spice them up." Athena suggested.

I didn't know if I caught on to what she was referring to, but I didn't have to wonder much as she stood up and moved up the skirt of her dress. She had no panties underneath, so she went right to straddling me and grinding her ass against my full erection. It was then that I knew exactly what she was referring to. And with that, whatever resolve I had was completely destroyed.

"Oh Athena." I sighed.

Athena just smiled as she aimed my cock at the only hole of hers that I haven't fucked yet. I've been tempted to so many times after our first time, but I doubted she'd ever want that, so I never brought the suggestion up. Glad to be wrong. Athena slowly started to lower herself and when my cock head pressed against her asshole, she kept pushing until she managed to fit the tip inside of her.

"Chaos, you ass is just as tight as your pussy ever was." I groaned in delight.

"It's certainly a new feeling. But I think I can get used to it." Athena breathed out as she continued to lower herself.

Athena started to tremble as she got me fully buried inside her ass. She just sat there for a minute, trying to get used to the new feeling. I really wanted to just fuck her senseless, but didn't want to push my luck, so I waited and enjoyed the amazing tightness I was feeling around my needy erection.

When Athena seemed ready to continue, she started rocking herself up and down. I started groping her ass and legs as she started bouncing on me. Like she said earlier, I never can keep away from that ass or those thighs of hers.

"Oh Chaos, I should've done this with you from the start." Athena moaned as she started bouncing harder and faster.

"Chaos have mercy, I love the way you ride my dick." I grunted out as I started thrusting inside her.

After a few minutes, Athena, without any warning, came all over me, with me following just shortly after. We just remained how we were, doing nothing but catching our breaths. We should've stopped there. But I was still rock hard and wasn't getting soft yet. And one look into each other's eyes had us both see the same thing. There was no stopping here. We started what we started, and we had to go the rest of the way to achieve the state of complete satisfaction. So, Athena quickly moved up so she can move my cock from her asshole to her soaking pussy and started bouncing again with me thrusting back up her again.

"Anal fucking you has made you so wet Athena." I moaned as I didn't hold anything back and thrust into her with all my might.

"Just shut up and fuck me!" Athena demanded.

And fuck her I did. Loud squelching sounds echoed as our bodies kept impacting against each other and our orgasms from before started flying around us. Feeling a desire to spice things up even further, I placed her legs on my shoulders and while keeping them there, I leaned up into a sitting position and wrapped my arms around her while still fucking her. This new position had me feel like I was going deeper than I ever did before this past month.

"YES! FUCK ME PERCY! FUCK ME WITH THAT COCK! KEEP FUCKING ME UNTIL YOU FILL MY CUNT WITH ALL OF YOUR SEED!" Athena screamed.

This kept up for another few minutes, me making so many slapping noises from our bodies and Athena demanding more from me, until I felt her walls tightening and squirting another orgasm. I held my orgasm back for as long as I could to make this last as long and possible, but after another few minutes of violent pounding and her orgasm making us both even wetter than before, I couldn't hold it anymore and just exploded.

I let Athena's legs drop at both my sides and rest against me as we both just sat there, trying to steady our breathing.

"That was amazing." Athena breathed out.

"The best time so far." I agreed.

Given how Athena was always one for the smart answers, I learned to follow along with it. With a snap of Athena's fingers, our mess was cleaned up and my now soft and satisfied erection was back in my pants. But neither moved from our sitting positions. We just took a minute to just stare at each other with a stupid smile on both of our faces. And all we both could see in the other's eyes was one emotion and one emotion alone, love.

"I love you." I admitted.

"I love you to." Athena responded.

No further words were needed as we just leaned in while wrapping embracing each other and made out with powerful firmness and swearing passion. Unfortunately, this beautiful moment wasn't long lived.

"ATHENA!" A voice shouted.

We turned to see my father Poseidon standing a few feet away from us with shock and rage all over him. And to make matters worse, Zeus and even Hades were with him. Hades had a look of shock on his face. Which wasn't exactly a look I'd ever expect to see on his face, but given how shocking this scenery was, I guess I couldn't blame him. Zeus on the other hand, he didn't yell, but with how red and pissed he seemed, it was perfectly clear there was gonna be a shit storm starting very shortly.

"Oh fuck." I said.

-Line Break-

You know, the one thing about secrets is that they never last forever. What happens in the dark, eventually comes out in the light. Athena and I knew this, but we tried to hide our relationship anyways, and for no other reason that despite wanting to be together, no one else would support us. I gotta say, it's moments like this where it sucks to be right.

After Athena and I were discovered and caught red handed, Athena and I were literally dragged into the throne room. Athena being dragged by Zeus and I by my father. Each of them having a look of rage on his face. And they were not gentle at all with dragging Athena and I to the throne room and throwing us both on our knees in the middle of the room. Just then, we were handcuffed with celestial bronze cuffs that were chained to be attached to the ground, which not only kept us in place, but also prevented us from being able to use any of our powers. Things were gonna get ugly.

"I never would've expected this kind of behavior from either one of you, especially you Athena." Zeus said in a low tone.

Athena said nothing, only look anywhere other than her father.

"And you, Percy Jackson, how dare you defile my daughter by putting your filthy hands on her." Zeus continued.

"She's been teaching how to live as a god. I was being thankful to her." I tried, though had a feeling wasn't going to change anything that was to happen.

"Looked to me that you were being more than just thankful to me." Zeus growled.

"Well, you know, everyone has their own way of saying thank you." I pressed on.

"Silence!" Zeus exclaimed, causing lightning to erupt outside Olympus.

As much as I wanted to say I wasn't getting anymore nervous that what I already was, that wasn't the case. I was starting to feel my worries skyrocket.

"And as for you Athena, what do you have to say for yourself?" Poseidon asked, stepping forwards alongside his brother.

Athena took a moment of silence as if trying to think of what she should say. As everyone already knows, she's infinitely smarter than I am. Though with how severe of a situation she and I were on, I just hoped she was able to figure something out.

"Athena, . . ." Poseidon warned.

"Regardless of what is said and done, you know what you saw." Athena answered.

Guess she wasn't interested in denying anything.

"Athena, you are a virgin goddess. How does a virgin goddess like yourself possibly find herself possibly on the verge of breaking her vow of maidenhood?" Zeus demanded.

'One month too late.' I thought but kept that thought to myself.

On another note, sounds like the elder gods only saw the kissing part. They weren't around yet to see the fucking part.

"Father, I know this is the last thing you'd ever want to hear, but I care about Percy more than anything and anyone else in this world." Athena answered.

Zeus laughed at that, and it wasn't a funny, humorous, kind of a laugh. It was a cruel and void of any real feeling kind of a laugh. Clearly, Zeus was finding this to be the most ridiculous thing he's ever heard.

"You care for Percy Jackson, how ridiculous." Zeus cruelly said.

"You are uncapable of caring for my son Athena. You have no care to feel for him." Poseidon added.

"You have no idea as to how wrong you are father." I countered.

"And as for you Percy, I pride myself in being your father." Poseidon started.

I just made a look to that.

"But this, this I cannot and will not allow." Poseidon finished.

"You may be my father, but you have no right to dictate any aspect of my life." I said.

"And I will not allow you to talk back to me either." Poseidon added.

"Percy's old enough to make his own decisions Poseidon. He's a grown young man, and a god of Olympus. What he does with his life and who he spends his time with is his decision and his decision alone." Athena threw in.

"She brings up quite a point, you know." Hades, who just leaned against his throne with his arms crossed and had a neutral look on his face, said.

"You're gonna defend this Hades?" Zeus asked in a challenging tone.

"I'm just pointing out that your daughter is correct in what she says. I mean, how could she not be right? She is the goddess of wisdom after all." Hades answered.

Despite how Zeus wasn't one who enjoyed being challenged in an argument, especially by his brothers, he had no way of being able to counter that.

"Be that as it may brother, this is still unacceptable. Athena was meant to be training him, teaching him his expectations to being a god. She should not be kissing him, let alone putting her filthy hands all over my son." Poseidon responded.

"She already has. I don't see why she can't continue." I countered.

"Continue?" Zeus asked.

And just like that, I had a feeling I made a big mistake.

"How long?" Zeus asked, though whether he was asking me or Athena, I didn't know.

"How long what?" I asked, even I had a feeling I already knew.

"How long has this been going on between you to?" Zeus clarified.

Neither Athena or I said anything at first. We just turned to each other. It was obvious we were both getting nervous and scared for one another. Our secret was about to be exposed completely, and we were both dreading it.

"Answer me!" Zeus demanded, making more lightning go on outside the throne room.

"Since my birthday." I answered.

"You can't be serious." Hades said with a hint of surprise in his voice.

"No uncle. He's dead serious." Athena responded.

There was a moment of silence in the throne room. Athena and I both didn't dare to break it without either one of our fathers going ape shit.

"The two of you, all this time? This is why you offered to train him? This is what you two have been doing this whole time while we all thought you were actually training him?" Poseidon asked, each question with a raise in his voice.

"For the record, she actually has been training me." I said.

"Percy Jackson is Poseidon's son Athena! You're my daughter!" Zeus said.

"I'm more than perfectly aware of that father. What's your point?" Athena demanded back.

"This is disgusting." Zeus commented.

"FYI, we didn't ask to feel the way we feel. It just happened, and we're both happy about it." I said.

"Nothing is going to happen!" Poseidon joined in.

"It's a bit late for that Poseidon." Athena said.

"IT ISN'T HAPPENING! It STOPS RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, THIS MOMENT! FINISHED! DONE!" Poseidon raged on.

"That's where you're wrong father. Because nothing's ending. Whether you like it or not, Athena and I have made our choices. You don't have to like them, but you do have to accept them." I said.

"OVER MY DEAD BODY!" Poseidon raged on.

"I think they might actually approve of that." Hades commented.

"As Percy said, . . ." Athena started, only to be interrupted by her father.

"I don't wanna hear this nonsense anymore than Poseidon does. You two are not gonna be together.

"I love him father, and he loves me. I've never been any more happy than what I am now." Athena said.

"I'm not listening to this nonsense Athena. You time with Percy Jackson is over." Zeus demanded.

"No, it's not. Let me make something clear to you father. We're not asking for anyone's permission or blessings. We're telling you as a curtesy that Percy and I love each other, and that is the end of this discussion." Athena said in a defying tone.

Despite how it probably wasn't a wise thing to say, it certainly was brave. And I felt so much admiration to the love of my immortal life.

"Let me be clear with you daughter, it's not gonna happen. You two are cousins for Chaos' sake. Do you even have any idea as to how sick and repulsive this is?" Zeus demanded.

"This coming from the guy who married his own sister, only to cheat on her multiple times and not have a care in the world how it might hurt her." I countered.

"You shut your mouth, insect! I will not allow some sea spawn you to be with my daughter!" Zeus demanded.

"And I will not allow my brother's wretched daughter with any son of mine!" Poseidon added.

"Well too bad. You don't have a say in the matter. So, it's not up to you two to decide." I said.

"Absolutely not! I will not allow something as twisted as let some sea spawn be with my daughter." Zeus said.

"He's a great man and he has done more than enough to earn himself my heart." Athena said.

"And once again, you're the one to talk. Swearing on the River Styx to not bring any children in this world after learning of the prophecy, only to be a Judas on the matter, and have one anyways." I added.

"I will not hear another word come out of your mouth, Jackson." Zeus threatened.

"And I will not let you tell me who I can and can't be with." Athena retorted.

"Damn it Athena, I am your king! I will not allow this!" Zeus said.

"Neither will I." Poseidon added.

"You can't say or do anything about it. I love him more than I love you, more than I love Olympus, more than I love myself. And I'll be eternally damned before I let anything, or anyone take that away from me!" Athena said.

"You think we can't?" Poseidon challenged.

"His days of being welcomed to Olympus are over. Percy Jackson is banished." Zeus declared.

"King or no king, you don't have the right to stop what we share with one another." Athena said, although I think Zeus may have gotten us on this one if he's gonna banish me.

"I'll dictate whatever the hell I want." Zeus said.

"By all means then, be the dick you were clearly born to be. Doesn't change shit." I threw in.

"You will not be with her Percy. This is a sick joke." Poseidon said.

"No one's joking around here father. And I know damn well that Athena is the best thing to happen to me, ever." I said.

"And I love him Poseidon. Percy Jackson may be your son, but he is a great man and has some of the best traits I've seen in a hero in a long time. Which is more than what I can say for his pig of a father." Athena added.

"Oh, so that's what this is, huh? Your way of getting to me, turning my own son against me. Seducing my son and whoring yourself around him." Poseidon accused.

I had to say, with how they were insulting the other's offspring, it was a huge wonder how they were able to keep their argument directed to us and not each other at all. Guess they're both too busy being angry at us to care very much.

"Watch it father." I retorted.

"Me watch it?" Poseidon challenged.

"Yeah, you watch it. You watch what you say before you cross the line any further." I warned.

"You're never allowed on Olympus territory again." Zeus said.

"You'd dare alienate the savior of Olympus? And what do you even know about being in love? You're afraid of love, father. You don't even know how to feel real love. It's always about your desires and your selfish wants. You don't give a damn about anyone or anything about yourself." Athena challenged.

"Not another word out your mouth Athena. And by law, if Percy Jackson steps foot on Olympus ever again, he will be sentenced to Tartarus." Zeus demanded.

"If he's banished, then so am I." Athena said.

"Your place is at Olympus." Zeus said.

"My place is by his side. If he's not welcomed here anymore, than neither am I. I relinquished my place on Olympus, and I no longer have a throne here." Athena declared.

"Wow." Hades whispered to himself.

"Enough is enough. I'm putting you on lockdown Athena. You will not be allowed to leave your temple, and you will not be allowed to leave it without my consent." Zeus declared.

"And as for you Percy, you will be locked in my palace dungeons until this nonsense ends." Poseidon declared as grabbed ahold of me and began teleporting me away.

"NO, ATHENA! / NO, PERCY!" Athena and I yelled and tried to grab each other's hands, only be kept apart and Poseidon forcing me to leave with him.

(Hope this scene is okay for everyone. I kinda had to write this scene over and over again just to get it written in a way I thought was accurate enough.)

-Line Break-

Even though it's only been days since Athena and I were separated, it felt much longer than that. Nothing to do in the cell father had me locked in but miss Athena and long to get out of this prison and see her again. And the worry I had for her wouldn't go away either. The month we shared together was the best time if my life, and for our time together to be gone was devastating.

And my father was no help either. He left a celestial bronze collar around my neck, which was meant to work the exact same way the cuffs Athena and I were restrained in the throne room by worked. So not only was I stuck in my cell, but I had no way of getting out either. Occasionally, my father would come to my cell, expecting an apology and for me to declare that I would forget Athena. Both of which, I refused to do every single time. Needless to say, our father/son relationship was demolishing fast, and there was probably no chance of it being repaired now.

Which brings me to being locked up in a cell for yet another day, just doing nothing but lay on my bunk and staying as silent as a shadow. I didn't even bother eating any of the food that was provided for me. I didn't anything from my father, and I didn't want him dictating my life the way he was. I just wanted Athena back.

I didn't know how or by who, but as I just sulked in my misery and longing, it seemed someone was listening to me and answered my prayer. My prayer was answered by the unexpected arrival of Aphrodite showing up in my cell. It was a surprise, but completely unexpected. But what was even more surprising was the form she had taken, and that was the form of a mermaid. Instead of legs, she had a gold mermaid tail.

"Hello Percy." Aphrodite greeted.

"Aphrodite, hey." I replied, getting off my ass and speaking for the first time in a few days.

"Some situation you're in." Aphrodite stated.

"Indeed. Wait, my father's palace is underwater. How are you down here?" I asked.

"I was born underwater. My domains may not include water at all like your father, but because of my birth, being underwater is no problem for me." Aphrodite answered.

"I see. Well, any particular reason why you've taken the form of a mermaid?" I asked.

"Even though I can breathe underwater like you and your father, I can't exactly travel very well underwater in any other form. In this form however, I'm able to travel through the water with complete ease. Plus, I think it suits me." Aphrodite said as she started swimming in circles to prove her point.

"I see." I replied, accepting her answer.

"Indeed, you do." Aphrodite replied.

"Well, it's always nice to see you, but I'm afraid I'm not really in the mood for any visits right now." I said as I started to make my way towards my bunk.

"Who can blame you. Having a forbidden love and being denied of it being allowed to last." Aphrodite replied.

I probably shouldn't have been surprised, but I couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

"You knew about us?" I asked.

"I did, and I thought it was beautiful. Nothing is more touching than forbidden love. That's why I kept your little secret for you. I also found it quite arousing, going from possibly being with the daughter to potentially being with the mother." Aphrodite teased.

I had nothing to say to being with Annabeth's mother. But I was grateful that at least one of the Olympians was on my side of things.

"Thank you." I offered.

"My pleasure. Nothing like a forbidden love to make one's love life such an adventurous experience." Aphrodite responded.

"So, why are you here exactly? You know my father could be here at any given moment, and I don't think he'd be so happy to see an unexpected visitor in my cell." I asked.

"I've come for you Percy. A certain god has agreed with me that if you and Athena truly want to be together, then no one should stop you." Aphrodite said as she swam her way in front of me and with a key she got out, removed the collar that my father wrapped around my neck.

"Another god? But who? Why?" I asked confused.

"Take my hand and see for yourself." Aphrodite said, offering her hand out.

I was a little iffy about this, but if Aphrodite was truly on my side and wanted to help me, it was probably for the best to do as she said. After all, given how I was being locked in a cell by my own father, it wasn't like I had much of anything left to lose. So, I took her hand and we ended up being teleported out of my cell.

As the light around us faded, we found ourselves at a place I haven't in a little while, and quite a frankly, a place that I was personally hoping I'd never come back to.

"Percy Jackson." Hades said.

"Aphrodite, why are we in Hades' palace?" I asked.

You heard right. Aphrodite took me to the dining room of my uncle Hades' home. We were in the Underworld.

"Relax Percy." Aphrodite, who was no longer in a mermaid form and had her legs again, said as she walked forward.

"Getting Percy out was no problem, Hades. How about your end of our arrangement?" Aphrodite said.

Before Hades could get an answer out, someone had already beaten him to it.

"Percy?" A feminine voice said.

I turned around and was happy to see the only woman I've been longing to see.

"Athena." I managed to get out.

"Percy!" Athena exclaimed as she made her way towards me.

I met her halfway and tightly wrapped my arms around her. She was just as beautiful as ever. Apart from when I got my mom back after thinking I lost her, I've never been so happy to see someone again in my whole life.

"How sweet." Aphrodite cooed.

"Zeus had all gods take turns in keeping an eye on Athena in her temple. I got her out when it was my turn." Hades explained.

Even though I heard them, I didn't pay much attention. I was preoccupied kissing Athena with all the passion, love, and lust I had to offer in the kiss. And the kiss didn't stop until we needed to catch our breathes.

"Thank you." I got out for both Aphrodite and Hades.

"Why though?" Athena asked.

"I love supporting forbidden loves. Such forbidden fruit has such an exotic taste to it." Aphrodite answered.

"So, our relationship is an apricot to you." I stated.

Aphrodite only winked in response.

"Seeing how you two are reminds me so much of how no one supports my marriage with Persephone, especially Demeter. Yet despite that, Persephone and I truly do love each other and have spent so long sharing and cherishing our love. In Olympus, I couldn't help but see myself and Persephone in the two of you." Hades explained.

It was pretty weird that Hades would actually be willing to help me in such a situation, especially considering how our last meeting here turned out. But it was still deeply appreciated, nonetheless.

"I'll never forget this uncle." Athena said.

"Now, we need to move. There's not much time left for me to stall for you." Hades said, making his way towards Aphrodite.

"Indeed. Come you two." Aphrodite said as she offered her hands again, with Hades taking one of them.

I took her other hand while Athena held mine. With the four of us joined in hands, we were going through teleportation again. Only this time, I had no idea where we were. It looked like we were on a mountain top. On the mountain top was a beautiful, luscious garden filled with hundreds and thousands of flowers and plants, some inviting looking springs of pools, and a very clear and perfect view of both the sky and the mass of land below.

"Wow." I breathed out.

"Where are we?" Athena asked in the same state of awe that I was.

"This is Mt. Dikte. The mountain on the island of Crete." Hades answered.

"This is where father was raised and hidden from Kronos at by Gaia." Athena said.

"As well as the nymphs who live on this mountain to." Aphrodite added.

"If you two stay here, you'll be safe and hidden from my brothers." Hades said.

"Thank you. I . . . I can't believe you actually went to this length to help us, Hades." I said.

"Don't get carried away Jackson. Despite the whole King of the Underworld and very edgy personality in me, even I can be a softy when it comes to love." Hades replied.

"I'd be disappointed otherwise." I offered, earning a nod from Hades.

'After all, you did give Orpheus a chance to try and get his wife back. Even if that was a different occasion and it didn't end very well for him.' I thought.

"Are you two sure about this? What if they come looking for us here?" Athena asked.

"Don't count on it. My brother Zeus hasn't come here since before the first Titan war. And Poseidon doesn't pay any attention to this place. It's literally the last place they and any god for that matter would ever expect to find you two at. Not too mention, the nymphs who live here have a special talent of keeping this place hidden away from people they don't want to be found by. It's how it was all the easier for Gaia to keep Zeus from being discovered by our father." Hades answered.

"They'll know that my escape was most likely made possible because of you. Father will blame it all on you uncle." Athena said.

"Or if the other gods don't ever find out about you helping us, Zeus will still blame and probably punish you for failing to keep Athena locked up." I added.

"*Snickers* What more can my brother do to me, other than what he's already tried in the past already?"

"Be careful regardless uncle." Athena offered, earning only a nod from him.

"Come, we must go before it's too late." Aphrodite said.

"Indeed." Hades responded as he took Aphrodite's hand.

"Enjoy your new love lives, you two. Oh, and speaking of love lives, . . ." Aphrodite said as she and Hades teleported away.

As their glow faded, Athena started to glow. The dress she was wearing was replaced by a black corset. And it was a strapless corset that hugged her body like a second layer of skin and swelled up her chest. And there was nothing covering anything below her waist. Her ass and netherlips were exposed to the light of day. All she had on below her waist was a pair of fishnet stockings and black heels. Athena and I were shocked at first. But my shock quickly turned into arousal. Athena seemed satisfied by my reaction but at the same time a little uneasy about it though.

"I was gonna surprise you with this for our one-month anniversary." Athena explained, looking away from my face.

"You are such a divine beauty." I breathed out.

Athena looked up and whatever uneasiness she had was instantly gone and replaced with a smile.

"I've missed you so much Percy." Athena said, making her way towards me and wrapping her arms around my neck.

"It's been a living hell not being around you to Athena." I replied, placing my hands on her waist.

"And now we're free. We have nothing and no one to hold our love back now." Athena said.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." I replied leaning my forehead against hers.

"Well then, . . . pants . . . off." Athena demanded in a seductive mistress kind of a manner.

And off my pants and underwear came off. I thought about taking my shirt off, but with how Athena only said pants and she has a corset on her body, I decided the shirt would stay on for now.

"Now . . . on the ground." Athena then demanded, still having the seductive tone and look all over herself.

I laid down on my back and awaited my beautiful goddess. Athena smirked as she saw my erection start to form from the sight of her. Moving to stand above me with her feet on each side of my head, Athena lowered herself, so she was sitting on my face and started a 69 for us. She went right to work in getting my rock hard as I responded by grabbing an ass cheek in each hand and licking both her pussy and asshole without letting those fishnet stockings stop me. We both moaned into the pleasure we gave each other. But the 69 didn't go on long enough for either one of us to cum for the other. Just long enough to get us in the right mood.

"You know damn well what I want Percy." Athena said as she got up, turned around and stood before me with her legs at a 45-degree angle.

"And you know I want it just as bad." I replied.

"Then do it now." Athena challenged.

Not needing any further instructions, I got up and went right to picking her up by her ass and rammed my cock straight up her pussy.

"Oh yes Percy, yes! Don't hold back! Abuse me! I want you to fuck me like you'll never see me again." Athena moaned against my face as she tightened her legs and arms around me.

I was more than happy to oblige as I rammed inside her from head to sack. Though I wasn't entirely sure how I'd be able to meet her expectation of fucking her like I'm never gonna see her again. That is until an idea came into my mind. I had no idea if it was gonna work really, but I intended to try anyways.

While still ramming inside Athena I made my way over to the pools. Athena was too occupied with feeling the pleasure I was offering her. If she noticed I was walking at all, she didn't acknowledge it. Once I was in a pool, I felt a wave of weightlessness in me and with newfound stamina, was now jackhammering inside Athena.

"OH FUCK!" Athena screamed.

Athena made no effort in trying to keep things at a lower volume. She just screamed, yelled, and thrashed her head around like a maniac. But I felt like it wasn't enough. I wanted more. I needed more. I haven't had Athena for a couple of days, and I desired to make up for the time we weren't one with each other. So, I held nothing back as I grabbed her corset by the chest portion and ripped it off, revealing those perky tits of hers. Athena let out yet another gasp as I grabbed them with both hands and started squeezing them like stress balls. I wasn't gentle at all as I took both tits in my mouth and started devouring them in their entirety. I felt her stiffen as she arched her back and pushed her chest into my face and held it there, her fingernails digging into my scalp.

"OH FUCK, YES! YES! YES! YES!" Athena screamed and shook with every thrust.

And it could've just been me, but I thought I could feel the water we were in heat up and bubble up. It felt like the earth shook every time our hips met. My mind was in pitch black, all I could see, hear, feel, smell, and taste was Athena. And yet she was feeling just as wild as I was. We were simply at it like two crazed animals. Like two grizzly bears fighting over a salmon, almost clawing at each other's skin with hunger neither of us could keep in check. This was the wildest we've ever been together. If being separated for just a few days could do this and/or being in a body of water, I was feeling a powerful temptation to do it all over again. Well definitely sex in water, being away from each other, probably not.

"PERCY!" Athena screamed as she came on my cock, her orgasm slushing out of her cunt and dripping down my cock.

But my orgasm had yet to come yet. I had a feeling it was because of the water, but I had no way of knowing for sure. Either or, I was still horny, and I still needed my release. As Athena tried to catch her breath, I moved her up to remove my cock from her pussy and moved it to her ass. With my hands still gripping her ass, I spread her cheeks apart and rammed in her ass.

"OH FUCK!" Athena gasped in a very sharp intake of breath, not expecting this at all.

And just as I did with her cunt, I jackhammered with a whole new level of stamina inside Athena ass, and I craved every single second of it.

"FUCK ME PERCY! FUCK ME LIKE A WHORE! OH FUCK, IT FEELS SO FUCKING GOOD!" Athena screamed.

"Good gods Athena, what would the rest of the Olympians say if they heard you talking like this?" I teased.

"FUCK THEM! FUCK THEM ALL TO TARTARUS! ALL I CARE ABOUT IS MAKING YOU MINE EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY! Athena responded and tightened her legs around me in a very vice grip.

She kept one hand on my shoulders while her other hand traveled down and started playing with her own clit.

"Let me help you with that." I said as I added my finger in and started to finger her pussy.

"FUCKING FUCK ME!" Athena screamed.

Athena was shaking apart, completely unravelling in my grip, as a gush of her warm juices splashed out from between her legs. She almost lost her grip of me and would've fell if I didn't keep my hold over her. Her body quivering with unimaginable ecstasy, with me feeling a little of the same state. As for the rest of me, my orgasm was building up, and I felt it becoming the biggest load I've ever had. Or as I'd probably call it, a gunk shot.

"How have you not cum yet?" Athena demanded, but with how tired she was, it sounded more of a person dying of thirst while watching another person drown.

"Must be the water. Son of Poseidon and all." I answered as I moved over to the edge of the pool.

"Noted." Athena said.

When I reached the ledge, I sat Athena down on the grass and moved my still raging cock from her asshole back to her pussy. She pants as her legs rewrapped tightly around my waist and rolls her hips around. I began kissing her as I began to jackhammer in her again, leaving only my head of my cock in her before spearing her again just like before. She arcs her back and brought her chest and my head to each other again as I continued making love to her.

"This is incredible." Athena moaned.

"Breath taking." I agreed.

With one fluid motion then, I moved her to lie on her back and brought her legs up to me. I still had an addicting fetish for those delicious thighs and legs of hers. Even though they didn't stop me at all, I felt those stockings of hers were no longer needed. Same went for my shirt. So, I tore both off so were both in the complete nude. Being freed of those, I started running my mouth, teeth, and tongue on Athena's legs as I continued to spear her with my flesh rod.

"I'm getting close Athena." I moaned out.

Athena only response to moan more and wrapped her legs behind my neck to up the ante. I felt to myself that this was righter than anything else before as my hands roamed every corner of her body.

"DO IT PERCY! FILL ME WITH YOUR CUM LIKE NEVER BEFORE!" Athena demanded in her moans.

"ATHENA!" I exclaimed as I finally unleashed my orgasm deep inside of her.

My orgasm triggered yet another one from her, but it was absolutely nothing compared to mine. Feeling utterly spent and tired, I gently leaned down and laid with Athena. Athena and I said nothing as we just took a few minutes to lay down and catch our breaths.

"Oh Chaos. That was the yet." Athena moaned.

With my power over water, I used it heal us and help us regain our strength.

"We should do it in water more often." I said as I wrapped up healing us.

"Glad you think that. Because you're not going anywhere." Athena said as she pounced on me and started yet another round.

'Thank you, Aphrodite and Hades.' I thought to myself.

-Line Break- (3 years later)

"How are they love?" I asked as I came in the room where Athena was putting our two born babies sleep at.

"I just got our daughter to sleep. Our son on the other hand is still filled with a lot of energy." Athena answered.

After a year of hiding in Crete, we IMed Aphrodite and arranged for us to be married. I proposed to Athena on my seventeenth birthday, and she was more than happy to say yes. My own birthday present to me. After spending a few weeks getting everything we needed arranged, we had our wedding. It was simple and traditional, but elegant and wonderous all at the same time. Sometime after our wedding, we discovered that Athena was pregnant. We were both beyond excited about being parents. It felt a little weird to Athena to make a baby by not thinking of their births at first. But with how this child was hers and mine.

It was a baby girl that looked just like her mother. We named her Gabriella. She was a pretty quiet little munchkin, but was still all the more adorable. After her birth, we had our second child. Our son Mathyius was a baby version of me. He was quite energetic for a baby. Always trying to hogg both his mother and I from his sister. And he's taken quite a bit from me by having power over water. Gabriella did to, but it was clear she took more from her mother.

"Quite a high-spirited little guy, ain't he?" I commented as I came next to my wife to look at our baby boy.

"Indeed. I blame you for that." Athena commented.

"Me? Hey, you were the one who carried and gave birth to him." I commented.

"Right after you pumped him out of you and put him inside of me." Athena countered.

"I don't recall you ever complaining. Plus, you wanted me to put him in just as I did Gabriella." I countered.

"And as you did our third one." Athena added.

I should add real quick that Athena is currently a month pregnant with out third baby. What can I say? It's impossible to keep my hands off my delicious wife.

"The more, the merrier." I replied.

"Just help me get the kid to sleep." Athena said with a shake of her head.

After almost half an hour of trying to get Mathyius to sleep, Athena and I made our way to our bedroom. We stripped ourselves of our clothes and got right under our covers. Truthfully, this wasn't exactly the kind of immortal life I ever thought I'd live. But then again, things rarely ever go as planned. All I do know is that Athena and I made the best choices of our lives when we started our relationship. And every day, my gratitude for the results grew.

"I love you Athena." I said.

"I love you to Percy." Athena responded as we wrapped ourselves around each other and fell in a peaceful sleep.

Let me just say, being the god of loyalty was truly rewarding.

This fanfiction was based off a Percy x Athena story that was posted on DeviantArt over a decade ago by now. A story that I really liked. Unfortunately, the story as well as the account it was posted by, are gone. Or at least I think they are on the account that every time I ever tried looking for the story or account for the past couple of years, I had no luck in finding either one at all. But it was a read I really enjoyed, so I guess this is my way of trying to bring that story back to life, despite not remembering every detail about it with how long it's been. Hope you all enjoyed it. Sorry for the long wait by the way. Things have been pretty rough and wild for me lately to say the least. But if you've read the author notes of any of my recent updates, you already know about it all by now. Life keeps happening. Anyways, stay tune for the other one-shots. The Percy x Rhea one-shot will hopefully be posted very soon.
