"We figured that much," said Athena. "How exactly did all of this ever happen and how are you involved Himeros?"

"I developed the Mark when I was on the verge of fading a few centuries ago. I tried to give up my domain of god of unrequited love and in doing so I accidentally lost all my power and almost killed myself." The Olympian council nodded to him to continue even Aphrodite who was in tears at hearing the truth about her son.

"A few weeks ago I noticed that Perseus was in pain it was truly immense and gave me enough strength to manifest myself in front of him. I decided to help Perseus by giving him the mark of Himeros which I had thought I perfected. I gave him my blessing in conjunction with the mark as he needed a part of me to accept it." Himeros shook his head sadly and looked at Percy with regret clearly shown in his eyes.

"He was supposed to find his true love and live happily ever after. In return all I asked was for a fraction of his power that was to aid me in getting a physical form to come back to my family." Himeros looked at Aphrodite and gave his mother a sad smile.

"I'm a monster because of you," said Percy. "It is really difficult to control what you gave me, I am ashamed of my actions and the worse part is that I'm starting to like it. I should be grieving my dead child and Clarisse but I can't shed a fucking tear for them. They died in front of me and I felt nothing!" Percy said in an agitated tone. Percy could only feel hate, he realized he was making a scene and calmed himself done and took a few deep breaths.

"Himeros you have to find a way to remove it or stop whatever it is doing to him. Perseus cannot go on like this." Said Zeus. Himeros looked at Zeus apologetically and shook his head.

"I can't Lord Zeus, I never thought I would need to remove it and never created a ritual for it. I'm afraid Percy will remain like that unless he expels his hate towards the world." The Olympians were confused as to what Himeros meant and only Athena build the courage to ask the logical questions to solve this problem.

"What does his hate have to do with any of this? What exactly does your mark do? What does your blessing do? Why was Percy not like this before?" Himeros squinted and thought for moment.

"Percy's hate is a way for him to grieve without feeling any pain. All the pent up emotion in him his trying to find a way out and hate appears to the only way he can do it." Himeros looked around the room to make sure they understood.

"As for my mark it enhances Percy's emotions as well as those he interacts with to make sure he finds somebody that loves him." Percy narrowed his eyes at him capped his broken sword.

"So you manipulated my love life? Why did it feel so real? I know I loved Clarisse, it does not make any sense." Percy was trying to understand if everything he experienced with Clarisse was a trick or his emotions were all fake as well as Clarisse's.

"No, both of your emotions were real, my mark just made your emotions mature faster to the point your love for each other was at their peak. Clarisse always had feelings for you and you for her but you guys were too dense to notice them from the looks of it. You probably would have gotten there with her eventually but my mark helped you both clear your minds and realize your feelings for each other." Himeros explained to Percy.

Percy realized that what Himeros said was true. His relationship with Clarisse was meant to happen but not until a few years. When he first kissed Clarisse his mind became clear and he knew that she was the one. Then they were together for such short amount of time but their relationship seemed perfect and not rushed at all. Himeros was right, his mark helped Percy find his love but if it was not for his mark Clarisse would still be alive.

"My blessing is actually pretty basic, they are an increased alteration of my own powers to an exponential degree. They affected Perseus a lot since my godly powers are just too strong for mortals. My blessing gave him endless sexual endurance in all possible ways and the obvious overwhelming lust. The lust was supposed to go away as long as Percy found love but that is not possible now…" This was troubling news for Percy as he did not want to be a mindless sex addict for the rest of his life, he knew that the more he fought it the stronger it got. Percy looked around the room for the gods guidance but started checking out the beautiful goddesses, his problem only made it worse as he got an erection looking at Demeter's bust.

Percy got on his knees and placed his head on the floor before all of the gods. "Please Himeros, there has to be something I can do about this. I'm getting aroused by the beautiful goddesses, make it stop," Athena blushed slightly but managed to make a frown, Hera was outright flushing as it's been years since she was called beautiful. Demeter and Aphrodite noticed Percy's erection outline and squealed in delight as they were causing it but Artemis was downright murderous, even Hestia managed a small blush.

"Please somebody knock me unconscious or something, I don't think I can hold it much longer." Percy was taking deep breaths on the floor trying to calm himself down with all the force of his willpower but the urge was too strong.

"I want you Demeter, I want your sexy body on me..." Percy panted heavily as he licked his lips. "I'm going to fuck you so hard… spread them and make this easy for the both of us!" Percy rushed towards the shocked goddess but was hit in the head by the butt of a trident and knocked unconscious.

Everyone was shocked that at what Percy was about to do more shocked it was Poseidon who took action.

"What have you done to my son Himeros?" said a sad god of the seas. He never expect Percy to succumb to such heinous act. "My son would have never done this, he would have sacrificed his life for a random campers, give mercy to an enemy, he would have starved to death for his friends, for god's sake he jumped to Tartarus, he would have never done this, why is this happening to him?"

"Percy has a strong will and good character so he fights the godly lust. However the more he fights it the stronger it gets. He feels attracted to Lady Demeter but he knew it was inappropriate so he fought it with so much force the lust completely overwhelmed him and he had such a strong counter reaction." Himeros explained. Demeter was trying to figure out if she should give in to Percy, he wanted her so bad and she knew that with his unlimited sexual endurance he could definitely please her and fulfill her wildest dreams.

"I'll do it!" Shouted Demeter as she stood from her throne. That confused the gods since there was no reason for her to give in, Percy was completely subdued. "Maybe the only way to sate his godly lust is with godly sex and while I'm at it I'll check how much of that so called 'endless sexual endurance' young Percy has," said a grinning Demeter. Poseidon was shocked his sister would suggest such a thing with his son, especially as he had just tried to force himself upon her. "I'll call a meeting when I'm finished with him," Demeter snapped her fingers and she along with an unconscious Percy disappeared.

"I have the gift of the oracle and I did not see that coming," said a grinning Apollo.

"Endless sexual endurance you say Himeros?" Aphrodite asked her son, Himeros raised an eyebrow at his mother's question but simply nodded.

"Well Himeros, say that my aunt Demeter's hypothesis is correct, Will Perseus need constant sex with a goddess to keep his lust under control?" asked Athena asked curiously. She did not want to admit it but if she could get her hands on him she would break her oath to experience that so called infinite stamina Percy supposedly had. Athena had heard from her children that Percy made love to Clarisse an entire day until the girl could not take it anymore and maybe just maybe Athena would break her oath for some of that. Purely for for intellectual curiosity of course.

Himeros had wondered about this but did not have a definite answer, only possibilities. "It is possible Demeter is right but Percy is still a decent men and will not like having been reduced to that. You heard him say he was ashamed of his actions when the was lust free." Himeros told the goddess of wisdom.

"Percy will only have urges when near women, from what I can conclude. If he stays away from them he will have a normal life, as normal as a life can be without female companionship." Himeros explained what was probably the best possible choice for Percy as he was now cursed by his hand nonetheless.

"My hunters do just fine without male companionship, if Perseus is still a decent male like you say, he will do the right choice and distance himself any female he could cause harm to." Said Artemis.

She had mixed emotions as to what was going on with Percy. On one hand he was angry that he could not grieve the death of Clarisse and his child, he also put immense effort to counter the godly lust but it just backfired on him. However on the other hand he had tried to rape Demeter that was a big no-no for Artemis.

"Percy is different, his fatal flaw is loyalty. He will always be a hero and try to defend the campers. He cannot go without the people that he loves," said Poseidon. He was truly sad at everything that was happening to his son. He wished he could do something for him but he could not think of anything that could help his son.

"Why was he wielding a broken celestial bronze sword?" asked Hephaestus. Hephaestus was extremely interested as celestial bronze was stronger than hardened steel but managed to break in half. Hestia rose from her spot and headed towards the center of the throne room.

"When Percy was fighting Ares, my nephew overpowered him and in a display of strength broke Riptide in half. In that moment Percy accepted his death but asked Ares why he was doing this. Ares screamed at him in a fit of rage describing how Percy took his most valuable things in life. That distracted Clarisse enough for her to be caught off guard by a pair of hell-hounds and caused her death." The room was silent. Himeros did not know about what happened but now understood why Percy was so angry, he was angry at the world but mostly angry at himself for being weak and living at the cost of Clarisse and his child's life.

Hestia looked at Artemis who just looked at her aunt confused. "He said that that day two heroes had died. That the broken blade will always remind him that he had failed to protect them. That Zoe, your hunter, died saying she was honored Percy carried her blade. He wondered what she would think of him if she could see him now." The gods did not know what to think about this. Percy had always been a hero but now only saw himself as a failure.

Artemis was now more confused than ever about Percy from what she heard from Hestia. Percy will still use Riptide, but he wanted to keep it broken as a reminder that he failed those he loved the most. Even though he could not grieve them he will make sure he never forgot that he is no longer a hero, that the hero died when Riptide broke in half, one that died when he failed to protect what he loved the most.

"Nephew is there anything you can tell me about the future of my son?" Poseidon looked at Apollo who was surprised to be called.

"I'm afraid my gift does not work that way uncle. I can only hope to get a glimpse in his future if the fates allow it."Apollo tried to invoke the power of the oracle and at first nothing seemed to happen. Then he caught glimpses of Percy's future he wished he hadn't.

"Percy does leave the camp for the sake of the campers. He travels mostly alone and hunts down monsters. He saves and helps endangered demigods as well assists them if they are in dangerous quests." Everyone seemed relieved that Percy's future was not so bad and Percy manages to find some kind of peace and purpose, everyone but Apollo.

"However that is not all," everyone was eager to know more about Percy. "He becomes a liar, a thief, a cruel torturer and a murderer..."
