Chapter 2
(3rd person)
When Percy didn't show up to teach his advanced combat class the next morning people were confused, but not worried. On one hand it was unlike Percy to miss class without telling anyone, while on the other everyone knows how hard he works and figured he deserved to sleep in every once in a while. In fact it wasn't until he didn't show up to the campfire that people started to worry. Chiron sent a new camper, a son of Hermes named Rob, to Cabin 3 to check on him.
When Rob came back empty handed Chiron knew there was something wrong, so he had the camp counselors form search parties to find the missing hero. It didn't take long for someone to check the beach and find Percy. Mark, a son of Ares, Iris messaged Chiron to tell him what he had found and before long half the camp was gathered around to see him.
Percy was laying face down on the sand with his shirt off and a note clenched in his right hand. His skin was red and it looked like he'd been there a while because he was partially buried by the sand. But by far the most alarming thing observed by the campers was that the sand in a 3 foot radius was scorched black, and steam was rising from Percy's body.
Chiron made the decision to bring Percy to the infirmary and tasked two sons of Apollo with carrying him there on a stretcher. It wasn't until he saw the boys try and roll Percy onto the stretcher, snatch their hands back like they had been burned, and shouot in pain that he realized what may have happened.
Percy had all the symptoms of a severe ambrosia overdose but somehow his body hadn't been incinerated by godly energy. He helped the boys get Percy back to the infirmary and decided to see what Percy's note said. He took his time getting the note out of Percy's hand without burning himself or tearing it and held it up to read. But all he saw were mixed letters, constantly shifting into different meaningless combinations. He put the note on a bedside table near Percy and headed back to the big house to get some rest.
THE NEXT DAY
(Percy pov)
I slowly opened my eyes to find that someone must have moved me to the infirmary after I blacked out. As I get my bearings I remember my conversation with the fates and wonder how that's going to effect me. I get up and notice that everything seemed to look a little more in focus. Like my life switched from standard to high definition. I look in a mirror see if anything had changed and what I saw made my jaw drop.
I'd grown at least 5'', from 6' to 6'5''. I'd also put on what seemed like 40 pounds, from around 190 to 230. Before I'd looked like a great athlete but now it looked like I should be playing pro football or something.
I look around some more to see if anything else crazy had happened and notice a crumpled up note on the bedside table. He opened it and read, "Mr. Jackson you are now what we like to consider a "three-quarter" god. Basically you get all the benefits of godhood without being shackled to the ancient laws. You don't have any domains and won't unless the Olympian counsel decides to give them to you. In addition, as you became immortal by yourself, without the help of any higher deity (with the exception of us) you aren't classified as any level of immortal. Essentially, you're one of a kind. P.S. enjoy the new body, it's a gift from us to say thanks for protecting the world from Kronos and Gaia."
Wow, I'm a god now. Even after both times denying the gods offer I somehow managed to end up like this on my own. I decide to tell Chiron what was going on and started to walk to the big house when I felt myself being pulled through space and suddenly appeared on the big house porch. "I can flash now that's so cool!"
I walked through the door to find Chiron and the cabin leaders all talking loudly about something.
"Well I need to get there attention somehow…hmmm got it." I pulled all the water vapor out of the air in the room and gathered it into a huge ball. Once everyone noticed how dry the air was and started looking for an explanation I dropped the water on top of them. Everyone started shouting at me before they all stopped and just smiled, like they were just relieved to see me okay. Chiron makes me apologize for getting everyone wet before asking me to explain why I was unconscious and steaming at the beach.
Once I explain the situation everyone starts to stare and it was Clarisse that broke the silence, "really Percy, we leave you alone for 5 minutes and minutes you come back a god?"
After that everything went back to normal and everyone started laughing and talking to him like nothing had changed. For a moment I thought that I'd be able to just keep living my life normally, and nothing would have to change. Until Chiron told me I'd need to iris message my father and set up an emergency meeting of the Olympian Counsel to let them know what was going on.
I use my water powers to create a fine mist and throw a drachma that disappears on contact. I ask Iris to show me Poseidon and a picture of my father appears. In the background I see his siblings, Zeus and Hera. It seems like they're having nice, relaxed conversation about nothing in particular. Zeus points at me and my father turns around. When Poseidon sees me his face lights up and he says, "Hey son what's up?". I tell him what I need and he relays the message to Zeus. He tells me to be at Olympus as soon as possible and swipes his hand through the message, ending the call.
"Well I'm about to surprise them", I thought, chuckling to myself. I focus on appearing in the Olympian throne room and flash out.
A/N: please give me some feedback. I'm open to pairing suggestions although I'm partial to Percy/Artemis because I feel that it would flow best through what I have planned so far.
