Kori.

So... yeah. We're doing this. I wanna state for the record that I, Percy Jackson, am totally against this. I mean, who would, in their right mind, want to be a fourth-wall-breaking character in a PJatO fanfiction, right? Not me. Wait, the author is telling me something. He says I'm not the protagonist and that this is just a prologue. Apparently, I'm not even gonna be able to break the fourth wall in the following chapters.

Well, poop.

Okay, so let's get on with what we're here for. I'm Percy Jackson, black hair, green eyes, half god. And thirty four years old, yeah. Wise Girl died a while back, and I'm (only sort of) over her. Paul and Mom are dead too, they died a few weeks after her. Was kind of in a funk for a while after that... But I'm okay now, I swear! No really, trust me.

I've retired from demigoding. (Hestia took it upon herself to make sure of that.) Zoë's sword is reunited with her in Elysium, I live in NYC, blah blah blah.

Now, the thing you're here for is...

I have a daughter! Black hair, violet eyes, kind of lanky. Her name is Kori, which literally means 'daughter' in Ancient Greek. I know, I know, so uninspired. But it was her mother's choice, and I had to just go with it.

And who is the mother?

It's Persephone.

Again: I know, I know! What was wrong with me, right? Well, it was mostly a mistake. I was drunk on nectar and thought that it was a mortal and that it was a one night thing.

Turns out, the general social norm about having a baby—that you at least get to know the person before doing it—gods don't care about it.

So... yeah. I raised Kori decent enough, kept her from demigoding, loved her as much as I could. I'd say I'm great at parenting.

Except for the swearing. That's... that was a mistake. (Sorry for the f-bombs, readers.)

Anyway, Kori Jackson is fourteen, untrained, sweary, sweet, fourth-wall-breaking, and pretty much just me. The following chapters are her story. Prepare to be amazed.

What do I do now, author? Just wait for them to go to the next chapter? Okay, will do. Wait, one question first, am I going to break at least some fourth walls in the following chapters, too?

What do you mean 'Shut up'? Fuck you, I won't shut up! I'll go on talking, you can't make me shut up you brainless son of a—

Whew! Sorry, people, that guy just wasn't shutting up.

So... this is the prologue, and I think it gives you a nice glimpse at the story and how it's gonna be written. I have yet to find any long PJatO fanfics about breaking the fourth wall, so I made one up. Hope you have a good time.

Oh, and it does what it says on the tin: This is a sequel to Riordanverse. We'll have adventure, emotion, (some) romance, magic, all of it. Stay tuned!

Proceed with caution: ten-thousand-word-long chapters ahead. Also note, this is a re-upload with better editing and a better prologue.
