I do not own PJO or HoO, those all belong to Rick Riordan.
(3rd POV)
Perseus was enjoying the Roman gods a lot more than the Greek gods. They might essentially be the same being but the way they acted was almost entirely different. Granted that Jupiter still slept around just as much as he did as Zeus but somethings will never change. The Romans were a lot more innovative and would make new inventions to society for the better. They had a general want to be better that the Greeks never had, which was why Perseus watched over them so much. Sure he had all the time in the world and could literally do anything he wanted. Not to mention could see everything in the Universe as it happened, the joys of being truly omnipotent.
One day he decided to actually walk upon Earth for the first time. Unlike every other creation Perseus had never really been to Earth. He always just watched from afar as they made their own decisions. So he headed to his favorite city and disguised himself as a poor beggar, he wanted to see what the people were really like and what they would do. Walking through the streets of Rome was nothing like watching from his throne room, although he didn't like the way people avoided him. He drew that up as the people being weary of him being a newcomer and wanting to believe the best of one of his first creations.
As the day went by the people still wouldn't come any closer to him. When he walked up to some of the shops he was quickly told to get lost and never come back. So went away and began thinking of ways of coming back to the shop in the future. Perseus had never been shown such disrespect before and couldn't fathom the way that they treated their fellow man. Even if Perseus was really just a man but the people didn't know that. Finally, the day was coming to an end and Perseus didn't want to go just yet. He wanted to try an get a room in one of the inns, but every time he tried the innkeeper told him they had no room for him. Perseus knew they did have the room and simply wanted to attract a better customer base. This really irked Perseus and cemented the idea of him coming back the following day only much different from the previous day.
So Perseus went back to his throne room and told the nearby angels of his day. They were surprised of his visit to earth and even more of the reactions of the people. Perseus sat back after retelling his journey to Earth and started to further his plans for the next day. As night turned to day Perseus had a fully formed plan ready for the days journey back to Rome. He would have the same look as he did the previous day only he wasn't a beggar this time. No Perseus was dressed as royalty and was probably showing off just a little bit. He wanted the people who scorned him the day before to see what they had turned away.
Perseus made his way down the same streets as the day before and this time the people didn't give such a wide birth. The shopkeepers almost didn't recognize him, the key word being almost. Some even paled and swore at having turned him away the day before. He still didn't buy anything but that wasn't the point he was making to the people. The point was to always be good to your fellow man else you might offend the wrong person. Perseus didn't just snub everyone however just the people that had snubbed him earlier. He gave away some money to the poor and even had a meal with some of the people.
Perseus thought that it was hilarious that the Olympians had no idea that he was ever on Earth. Let alone at the heart of western power where they were at their strongest. Even when Perseus went to some of their temples and looked around still they had no idea. He decided to do something miraculous though as the days were becoming a little boring watching nothing happen from his throne room. So he went towards the biggest temple in all of Rome, Jupiter's Temple, and released a small percent of power. Just enough for the Olympians to notice and for Jupiter to nearly blow his top over the unknown source. Once that was done he vanished into thin air leaving the surrounding people in dismay.
Perseus appeared in his throne room a moment later and watched the recent Olympian Council meeting. Already Jupiter was screaming at his children to find out what the power surge in front of his temple was. Neptune, Ceres, and Venus just sat through the meeting without a care in the world about what the source was. Perseus thought it was hilarious watching the rest of Olympus scramble to find him and him knowing that they never would unless he wanted them to.
Already Diana and Mars had set of to Rome to find some type of clues. There weren't any to be found but again they didn't know that, other than that they questioned so of the citizens to try a piece together the puzzle. They mostly were told the same thing about how a man came the previous day disguised as a beggar and how he returned rich the next day. They returned to Olympus and reported their findings to their father without any delay and left Jupiter to try and piece together what happened.
Another chapter down and a somewhat story-line/Character personality forming. Trying to get some baseline of how Perseus acts before eventually getting into the book timeline. Thank you to all who have been following me and my stories please continue to do so review to let me know your thoughts. I will try and stay active and put up many more chapters and stories in the future.
I also recently put a poll up about the next story, so if you want any say in which goes up first please do that.
