Hey Peeps, ImASickBoi here, just letting you guys know a few things before reading this fanfiction.
Firstly: I'm British, and The PJO Series, is, Obviously, Set in America, a place where I have Barely any idea about, so if I get things wrong like, School Systems and Legal ages, etc sorry.
Secondly: This Fic is Mainly Centered On The Romans. Now, I'm taking Classical Civilisation as A-Level, which is the study of Ancient Greece and Rome for all those people who didn't know, but I'm by far no means an expert, especially on the Romans, so if I get things wrong please don't blame me, I've only just started to learn some more crucial parts of Roman Civilisation and am by no means completely confident in what I'm writing about
Thirdly: I Do have Dyslexia, so if words are spelt wrong or are wrong in general I'm Sorry, but it's not my fault as I've probably not noticed, if that's the case please just point them out to me instead of being a dick about it. Also, my auto correct loves changing 'If' to 'of' and vice versa so please excuse that as well.
Fourthly: Please Enjoy, I'm assuming if your reading this, you already know its an OC story and if not, now you know, so please don't hate that it is, most of not everything I write are OC's just because they're more fun to write as you have tons of leeway and don't have to stick to certain characteristics, etc.
Finally: Please leave some comments on pairing for the main character, I'd prefer if it was kept with actual characters, so please stay with that, but I don't particularly mind if he was to be kept single
Anyways, Thanks and Enjoy
If one were to look into the home of one Sally Jackson, they would usually see a pretty happy looking woman in her mid-twenties, aswell as two young children who looked so similar yet so different.
The eldest of the two, not that anyone could tell, sported a mess of Raven Black Hair, Tanned Skin and Sparkling Blue eyes while the Younger of the two had a more controlled hairstyle that was just as dark aswell as a pair of Crystal blue eyes.
To anybody else they would look like a small, loving family, but if they were of the other part of the world, the hidden part, they would feel the raw power eminating from the two boys, they would also feel the similar yet different energy the two radiated.
And it was for this reason that this scene wasn't what people would see on this fateful day if they looked inside the Jackson Household, as instead of a calm, happy mother, she seemed to be shouting, her face red from Rage, with tears streaming down her face, her children having already been put to bed, and fast asleep, she was free to scream at the only other occupant in the room
The man was tall, around 6'3 with black hair, a neatly trimmed black beard, a deep tan, and sea-green eyes that were surrounded by sun-crinkles, he was wearing a black suit, fitted perfectly to his body with a deep blue handkerchief kept neatly in his breast pocket.
Currently, the man was seen trying to pacify the woman, as he held his hand out palm up in the universal sign of Stop, to which the woman complied to, even if she looked to hate that she did
"I Know I cannot ask this if you Sally, its unfair and unjust to separate them and to do this to you, but it Is the Rules, Greeks and Romans Do Not Mix and They Do Not Meet. I hate to do this to you Sally, but it has to be done, Valentine will be leaving with me this night to go to Lupa."
Sally looked affronted but sighed, Neptune could understand what she was going through, he himself was, he would be separating his sons, his children, but even the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans were separated for a time, it wouldn't be to long before the two were Re-united, he would see to it that they would, Jupiter be damned.
Finally Sally Spoke, "You Will Swear to me that he will be safe Posei-Neptune, Percy to, I'm being forced to leave one son, I won't be leaving another."
Neptune sighed but nodded, it was fair enough,he would have to call in a few favours to Trivia to thicken the most around her but she would still have to mask his scent somehow, and that was what he told her, before he embraced her in a hug
"Just... Just let me say goodbye before you leave with him, I won't be seeing him for a long time after all." Neptune nodded, and Sally quickly departed from the hug and to her sons rooms, not surprised in the slightest to find her eldest, Perseus, still asleep while Valentine was still slightly awake.
"Heya sweetie" Sally cooed as hse walked over to where her son was, wrapping him in a hug "Hewwo Momma" Valentine muttered back, unintentionally breaking Sally's heart a little more than it already was, she hugged him a slight bit tighter before breaking the hug "Hey, there's somebody here to meet you, come say hi"
Little Valentine nodded, his wavy black hair bobbing along with him as Sally helped him out of bed, before picking him up and walking him through to where Neptune was.
Neptume was a slight but surprised at Sally Bringing Valentine through, but calmed down when he realised it was probably time to leave
When Valentine had woken up enough to register what was happened, he gazed at the man with a look of caution that wasn't fit for most 3 year olds, but was quick to accept the man's presence nevertheless
"Now Sweetie, I need you to listen to me veeeery carefully okay?" Valentine bobbed his head up and down making Neptune smile a little at his son, to most you couldn't tell, but if the knew the God enough,you would recognise the slight tilt of his lips. "Now, your Going to be staying with him for a while alright sweetie, but you'll see me again soon alright." Valentine was confused but nodded nevertheless "Alright Sweetie, you be good for momma alright."
Carefully, and with teary eyes, Sally gave her youngest child to Neptune with a stern look that reminded the God of why his other form initially fell in love with her. As Sally turned her back to the Pair, a golden glow filled the room and Sally was left alone, before breaking into sobs in her living room.
With Neptune, he had flashed away, putting his son to sleep while he did to make sure he wouldn't die from seeing his divine form, before arriving close to the Wolf House.
Silently, Neptune placed his son on the forest floor near the wolf House, departing back to his Oceanic home, with only a quick glance behind him. He knew that his son would be alright when he awoke, it was only a matter of if he would survive his meeting with Lupa and if he would be judged worthy of being a Roman.
Meanwhile with Valentine, he had just woken up to find himself in a strange place with nothing and nobody around. Cautiously standing up, Valentine took in his surroundings, noting that his first assessment was correct and he had no clue where he was and was most definitely alone, well, that was until he heard a snap which caused him to turn his head in that direction. Nothing.
If he was older, he would've instantly recognised this as a scare tactic, creating sudden, loud noises in a otherwise quiet area with nobody else around, but he wasn't and he was still young, but he did at least, remain calm.
Turning back around again, Valentine came nose to nose with a giant, snarling black wolf in his face, instead of freaking out like any normal person, nevermind child, would do, Valentine instead stared back into the wolfs eyes, quickly getting lost in the hetrocromatic wolfs blue and grey eyes.
Suddenly, the wolf lowered itself, and any experienced hunter would tell you it was going to attack, but Valentine wasn't, he had to act solely on instinct, which was why he ducked when he felt his gut telling him to, and the wolf flew over his head, Valentine, even as a child, still had the skill to dodge left when the wolf landed and pounced again, luckily he was spared from the following attack by another growl that had the first wolf sit on its haunches
"Enough, He has proven himself worthy for one so young" the voice was feminine, and a even larger, white wolf stalked through the forest towards him, instead of feeling threatened by this wolf though, Valentine felt a comfort like he had felt when he was with his momma, lowering his guard significantly "Bring Him to the wolf House for training, we'll make a Roman Out of him yet" and with that, the she-wolf walked away, not even bothering to ask his name or give her own, before she left, leaving Valentine with the wolf from before who huffed at having to bring him along, but nudged him to follow anyways
Alright Guys, I know this is a short chapter but that's because I wanted it to just be an introduction to Valentine and the story I was settingAnyways, you may have already started to notice the differences between Valentine and Percy already but if not I'll clear them up. The Romans were well known for being militaristic, and my thought process was that the Roman demigods were even more connected to their ADHD than the Greeks in terms of battle sense, which is how Valentine is able to hold off against the Black Wolf for so longSecondly, how smart/nature he is for his age. In contrast to Percy, who had Barely seemed to grow up from his childish phase, I have Valentine being more serious, like Neptune is hopefully portrayed at the beginning.The next chapter, whenever I write it, will start with a time skip so be prepared, but I hope this is good enough for y'all for nowPeace outImASickBoi
