Jason/Hazel
Thalia/Bianca
Perseus Jackson was born as a son of Neptune instead of a son of Poseidon. Raised by Lupa and her pack for 6 years, he is an unstoppable force for nature against his foes. Brought to Camp Jupiter by Lupa when he was 10, he must fight against Titans and Giants to protect his Family and the 12th Legion and maybe find love along the way.
Chapter 1- Mother Lupa
Lupa's P.O.V
In front of me stood a young boy with a mop of black hair, His eyes were darting around, clearly aware of my wolf pack that was circling him in the shadows, The young boy was holding a stick in his right hand while he had a piece of park that had fallen of a tree in his left hand, His eyes were a gorgeous Sea green that clearly showed off his parentage.
I licked off some scarlet red blood that was on my wolf lips, the blood was from a man that had been chasing young Perseus, his father Neptune had alerted me that he was leading Perseus towards me and that there was a man chasing him. He was swearing and saying some things that should never be said around Immortals, never mind a child, I ended up chewing off his arms and legs before leaving to to my pack to eat...slowly.
I transformed out of my wolf form into my 'human' form, with the flash of my change, his eyes darted towards me while his ears were still listening to the rest of my pack. I put one finger up and forward and one of my wolves jumped at Perseus, he rolled backwards, landing mostly stable a couple of feet behind him.
I then whistled and one after one, my pack jumped at him, he rolled around and dodged all the other wolves, he then slammed his tree bark shield into one of my pack and sent him flying backwards. Most of my pack then backed off but there were a couple that still wanted to test him, but what most of my pack hadn't realized was that while Perseus had been rolling around, he had also been sharpening his stick on the stones.
I watched as he started to slash at the remaining members of my pack with his sharpened stick, it was sloppy movements but it was enough to stop all but one of the members of my pack from attacking again after getting a couple cuts from a sharpened stick.
The member of my pack that refused to stop attacking was called Fenrir, he had always been rebellious, he barley ever listened to me and I was pretty sure that he was preparing to start an uprising in my pack, I had only let him into my back originally because he seemed lost and confused when I found him. Of course he would be the one who would continue to attack even when the rest of the pack had backed off.
Fenrir got ready to pounce at Perseus, His black claws out, growling at the young boy in front of him. He leaped at Perseus who was able to roll out of the way but he tripped on a rock when he got back up and fell to the ground, he picked himself up again but fenrir was ready to pounce again and did so before Perseus had a chance to react.
Three deep claw marks appeared on Perseus's skin right before blood started pooling down his chest, then Suddenly the ground started to shake violently, with pieces of the earth lifting up and flying into Fenrir who was sent flying back through a couple of trees and then into the river almost immediately afterwards. Then the water in the river started to swirl and turned into a whirlpool that dragged Fenrir down no matter how much he tried to stay up.
With the power of the earthquake, I would assume that Neptune was defending his son from Fenrir, however I have known Neptune for several millennia and when you have been around that long, you learn to recognize your fellow gods aura. This was different this felt more mortal, it seemed to be mortal but it was still similar to Lord Neptune's.
That was when it clicked in my mind of who had caused the Earthquake and caused the water to try and drown Fenrir, I singled for someone to go and grab Fenrir and I ran over to young Perseus to see if I could heal his wounds, but when I got there I got surprised as I saw that waster was covering his torso and that his wound had healed over and in its place was three scars that went across his entire torso.
I couldn't believe that a young half-blood boy could have so much power, sure maybe an older demigod who had years of training and had honed his skills but a FOUR year old boy! I've never heard of such a thing! I knew Lord Jupiter had also sired a son who was a year younger than Perseus and from what I knew, he was powerful for a son of Jupiter of that age but apparently he wasn't anything extraordinary.
Two of my pack had grabbed Fenrir and dragged him two me, I growled at him, the best that I could in my human form. He looked at me his fur soaked, I spoke calmly "Why did you do that! We are only supposed to test him to see if he is worthy to be part of the legion, not kill him!"
He looked at me and said "And that is what I was doing, Mistress! If he couldn't fight off me then he could never survive in the Legion! I was just going to put him out of his misery of not being able to hold his own in the legion"
I shook my head and growled "If I do not believe Demigods to be worthy of the legion then I send them back to live in the Mortal world, WE DO NOT KILL THEM!" Growling the last bit.
I spat in his face and said "Fenrir, I banish you to the mortal world as a half mortal, half wolf, never being able to fit in either world. Not only that but I banish you out of America and to britain."
With an agonizing scream and glow, Fenrir was replaced with a man with dark brown hair, he had blood red scars on his face and one eye that was grey, he was wearing extremely shaggy clothes and when he stopped screaming he said something about returning for revenge some day.
He then ran off, using a mixture of his new feet and his new arms, beside me, young Perseus started to move about about, he was strong, being able to even move after being injured like he was is a miracle. I can tell already, that the fate of the Legion is in good, powerful hands.
6 Years Later
It had been 6 years since I took young Percy in and began to train him to join the legion, I had taken Jason in 5 years ago, he was powerful but he had never show the same amount of power as Percy. I had grown very attached to the son of Neptune, so much so that I saw him as one of my sons, n honor that had only been held by a few before.
Jason, the son of Jupiter on the other hand never had the same connection with me, even though he only came a year later, probably his pride and the fact that he had literally just been dropped off here by his mother who then drove off along with her Greek daughter Thalia.
Luckily, Percy and Jason saw each other as family but that didn't mean that they didn't have a fierce rivalry, both were very competitive and head strong although Percy can now but up a poker face and will make a great politician one day.
Lord Neptune and Lord Jupiter had arrived a couple of days ago, to tell me that that the current Praetors of the twelfth Legion would be coming to see if Perseus and Jason were good enough to be members of the twelfth legion. Both of them had warned me that the male...Mathew was one of the current Augur's main men but still had his doubts on him but that still meant that he was very biased and hated children of Neptune and believed children of Jupiter to be all mighty and powerful, which they were in most cases.
However the Female Praetor... Mahri, was apparently only looking at how well they can fight or if they are of any use at all, if not they will let them stay in new Rome, she was also looking forward to seeing what Perseus could do, which I am very happy about. There were supposed to arrive tomorrow but with the recent increase in monster attacks, I wouldn't be surprised too see them a couple of days later.
A glow appeared behind me and turned around and said "Hello, Lady Trivia. may I ask why you are here?" she looked at me and smiled slightly "I'm sure that you have heard that Lord Jupiter in a bid too keep his son safe, allowed Juno to becoming young Jason's patron"
I nodded my head head at her because it was common knowledge along the Roman forms of the gods that Jupiter in order to keep his son safe and quell his wife's anger had called his son Jason after his wife's favorite hero and allowed her to become his patron.
she spoke once again and said, "Well Neptune approached myself and Bellona to see if one of us would be willing to become patron of his son Perseus, Between the three of us, we decided that I would be the best choice as my powers can work both in battle and in politics while Bellona would have just increased his already incredible strength 10 fold."
I nodded my head and said "I am sure he will be honored to be your champion, may I ask what that amulet is in your hand?"
I showed it too me and said "This Amulet has two weapons, One a sword made out of Imperial Gold and the other a bow with a quiver of arrows. I want to see which weapon he can use the best, then after I see that, I will lock away the other one for now until he is better with that weapon."
My eye widened, "Your'e giving him a disguised weapon?" she nodded "I would never leave me champion defensive, Juno has given her champion a weapon so why shouldn't I?"
I just shrugged my shoulder and took my first proper look at her, she had dark straight brown hair that went down to the middle of her back, she had beautiful hazel eyes and had a perfectly chiseled chin. She was wearing a white robe with a small gold belt that was wrapped around her waist. she had some deep brown sandals that showed of her perfect feet.
She walked over to where Perseus was and started to talk to him, a couple of seconds later they disappeared, I decided that in the meantime to continue training Jason, so he would be prepared for tomorrow, where I am sure that he will be made to fight his cousin.
About 2 hours later, Perseus and Lady Trivia returned, Perseus had sweat pouring down his face but he was grinning like mad, Trivia then came over and said, "Perseus isn't that bad with a bow but compared to his sword skills, it is nothing."
I grinned at her and replied, "Well I could've have told you that" she shook her head and disappeared.
1 Day Later
The next day, The two Praetors arrived, the male Matthew had bright blond hair and was the son of Mars, he was wearing armor over a white toga, with a bow on his back, one eye was grey showing that he had been blinded either when he was younger or was born with a disease.
Mahri had dark brown hair and had some stunning green eyes, she was a daughter of Ceres, her eyes were looking at Percy with great care. She was not wearing a toga or armor, instead wearing a purple track suit with a white streak going right down it. She had a sword and shield on her back that reflected the sunlight sending across the woods around us.
The two of them bowed and |I said "Rise Praetors, how is the legion doing." Mahri was the one to answer, "The legion is doing fine, Mother Lupa, but I am interested to see what these two recruits can do, They may be the ones to restore the complete honor to the legion."
Matthew eyes were glaring at Perseus, his hate barley being kept at bay. He said gruffly "Yes Mother Lupa, Do you mind if we see the new recruits!"
I nodded and shouted "Perseus, Jason, the Praetors are here, too see if the two of you are good enough to join the twelfth legion." both Perseus and Jason hopped up from where they were sitting and bowed at the Praetors.
Both then walked over to an open clearing, with myself following and the Praetors walking right behind me. Perseus and Jason got into position, Jason flipped a golden coin and it landed on heads, a golden sword appeared in his hand.
Perseus wrapped his hand around the amulet that he had received from Trivia, with a golden glow, A golden sword appeared in Perseus's Right hand, it was slightly longer that Jason's and had writing along blade.
I growled and shouted "Begin!" The two prepared to attack.
A/N hope you enjoyed this chapter, I have changed some things such as Jason being 4 when he was brought to the Wolf House instead of being a baby and being a year younger than Percy. Lupa is also much nicer in this version and does not eat demi-gods that she believes are unworthy
Then The Obvious one, Perseus is the son of Neptune and goes to Camp Jupiter which you will see in the next chapter. I decided that Percy should be the Champion of Trivia after reading Children of Roman.
