As the bright glow died down, the mortal, and amazons opened their eyes, and glanced upon the striking woman in the room. Her long black hair, her beautiful, chocolate brown eye, her tall, curvy, bodacious figure. She held an ethereal beauty. She was dressed in a white, Greek chiton, with a gorgeous, dazzling crown on atop her head.
This woman, is Hera, the Greek goddess of marriage, family, and motherhood. The queen of the gods and Olympus. She was the patron of the amazons, their ultimate sovereignty. She who was revered and held up to the most respect by them.
What ruined her amazing image, however, was the blackened and bruised area on her face, around her right eye, along with the tears cascading down her face. For a moment, no one moved, the uncomfortable silence was broken, due to the gurgling of a sweet and innocent child.
Perseus was unsure of what was going on, yet he knew he didn't like it. He glanced up, and catching sight of the wonderful looking woman in the throne room, he waddled up to her, and held his arms out, looking up, with tearful eyes, and uttered the words, "why you sad, pretty lady? You hurt? Please don't cry no more." (1)
Now everyone knew Hera hated demigods, she hated children (ironic, considering she is the goddess of motherhood), she couldn't help it though, when she saw the young demigod asking her if she was fine, and he was looking at her so adorably, with such innocence and purity, she felt a smile beginning to creep along her face, unknowingly, she was using her godly power, to heal herself. (2)
The sexy queen, bent down, and wrapped her arms around the cute child, and embraced him in a gentle, yet firm hug. The boy, not even phased, knowing he could trust her, on an instinctual feeling, hugged her back. Staying still for a moment more, the others could only watch on in shock, at the befuddling sight before them. After all, it wasn't every day when the queen not only came down from the mountain, but also hugged a demigod child, especially one born out of a broken oath, and through an act of infidelity.
Finally, Hippolyta gained control of her vocal capabilities once again, for she spoke, after kneeling before her patron, crossing her arms over her chest, in an x formation, above her knee (3), "pardon me my lady, but why have you come to Themyscira at this time? How may we, the amazons, be of service to you, your majesty?"
Snapping out of her stupor, Hera said to her faithful follower, "you may rise, and you may relax. I came here to get away from Zeus. We had an argument last night and he hit me. As of this morning, I have decided to annul my marriage to Zeus. Since Themyscira is my domain I have come to hide from his wrath. Though do tell me, who is this child? Who was he born to? Why is he here?" (4)
Sally then decided to speak up, "he is my son, lady Hera. He was born to lord Poseidon, and I, three years ago. Having returned this morning after my training and world seeing sabbatical, I came back to visit Diana and the other amazons, and maybe see if any of them would, alongside myself, of course, train Perseus. I am sorry I did not ask for your permission, but please do not take your anger out on my son, for he is innocent, if you must punish someone, then punish me, it's my fault." the young mother bowed her head, awaiting the verdict.
Hera thought for several moments. Her mind racing and whirling with many thoughts. 'he is most likely the child of the prophecy. I should kill him now, to prevent the prophecy from coming to pass. But if I kill him, it would hurt Sally, which would hurt both Hestia and mother. Although, with the power of Sally and fish face, along with Sally's love for battle, he could be very powerful. Very well, I won't kill him, but I can and shall use him.' (5)
"do not fear, Sally, for I shall not kill your son today, and I will permit his stay on this island, there are dark times ahead for not only Olympus, but the earth itself, if he is to survive, and fulfill his destiny, he must be prepared for a long and brutal road. His training will begin tomorrow." the goddess spoke sternly. Flickering her eyes downward, her eyes softened for a fraction, before hardening their resolve. She placed her hand on his head, his eyes shut, he fell asleep.
Sally let out a gasp, and was about to rush Hera, yet she was stopped, when Hera held up a hand, and stated, "relax, he is not hurt, merely asleep, for we have some more things to discuss, things which he cannot know yet. The boy is to stay here for his training, because if he were to leave this island, he would be in much danger. He is powerful already, I have seen some of his memories, and I know he will get much stronger in the future. My brothers would not hesitate to strike this child down, just to spite his father."
"Lady Hera, if I may be so bold as to question you, why? Just why is my son in so much danger? I don't understand why your brothers would want to kill him, he is just a child." the distraught youthful mother spoke worriedly.
Hera just looked at her sadly, with pity in her eyes, "because my brothers are immature and paranoid assholes, and because of a prophecy. A prophecy that spoke of dangerous times, with the potential destruction of Olympus, brought about by a child of the eldest gods. It does not say how or why, but preserving or razing Olympus. Zeus would sooner see such a, in his mind, threat destroyed before it could ever begin to threaten him."
Sally, understandably, was quite shaken by this. "but if this prophecy is so dangerous and makes my son so deadly, why are sparing him? Why allow him to live and train here? I don't understand." she was quite hysterical now.
The queen just sighed, "honestly? I wanted to kill him, but I can't for several reasons. He is, technically, family, if I killed him, it would upset both Hestia, and my mother. Another reason, is because you can't fight fate, eventually this prophecy will come to pass, at least by going this route, I can attempt to control the outcome, in a sense. Truth be told? He is already cursed by being the subject of a prophecy, why make his life harder?" (6)
Hera then dismissed the trio of women, "take the child back to wherever he is staying, get him something to eat, and some armor and a weapon, because starting tomorrow, he will be trained in physical combat, armed and unarmed, along with the abilities utilizing energy, and his demigod powers. We will make this child the most powerful demigod to exist." there was a glint in her eyes, one that would have made Ares both scared, and proud, had he seen it. The glint, of torture promised training.
The next morning, Perseus was rudely awoken, bright and early. Standing above him, was his pretty cousin, Diana. She grinned down at him, with smug look in her eyes. "time to get up cousin, it's training time." she grabbed him by the leg, and dragged him to the arena.
Making it to the arena, Diana quickly got her cousin some small, standard training armor, along with a small shield and the sword Sally got from Poseidon, Anaklusmos.
Diana, calling out to the boy, "don't worry, little cousin, I will hold back."with a feral grin on her attractive face, she sprinted at him.
Bringing the sword up, he barely managed to glance the blow of of her own, he stumbled to the side. She waited for him to gain his balance again, before thrusting her own sword forward. He spun to the side, and jabbed his gleaming bronze blade. It missed, she moved like a cheetah, she was fast and deadly. She was power and speed incarnate. He didn't stand a chance, after she dodged his swing, she decided to finish it. She swung her blade up, catching his and knocking it out of his hand, and with a loud clatter, it fell to the ground. He gulped, and looked at her, expecting anger, yet she didn't look to angry or sad, merely, indifferent.
He looked down, sad at disappointing her. She told him softly, "there is no shame in being defeated little cousin, I have been practicing with the blade for centuries, even when holding back, the fact that you could at least catch my blade with your own is impressive. We have many years to train you up, and I can promise you, by the time you are ready to leave this island, you will be the finest damn warrior this world has ever seen." she smiled at him, before leading him over to an area of the arena, which held a massive lake, created by Poseidon and Hephaestus, so he could train his water powers. The boy would need every advantage he could get, there were many powerful enemies in the world.
Not much happening in this chapter, I know, but with the training started, which keep in mind, he is 3, so of course he is going to be weak, but he will get much stronger, I assure you.
Now some things to address.
1.) yes I know it's cringey, but I would imagine a woman would find a 3 year old Percy, as very cute and or adorable, lol
2.) Zeus is an abusive ass. I know Apollo is the god of healing, but I would imagine that all gods, have the ability to heal themselves, at least small wounds, such as small bruises or cuts, when in human form.
3.) not really sure how to describe this, but it sounded kind of awesome, lol. Basically, get on one knee, put your arms over your chest in an x formation, and bow your head, that's what it is.
4.) I know Hera technically has no physical domain, like her brothers, but since she is the patron of the amazons, I gave her dominion over Themyscira. She has ultimate say and power here, no other deity can come here unless she says so.
5.) Hera may change her attitude later, she may not. She is smart and manipulative, and cruel, but she's not stupid, she knows Percy is a key player in events to come.
6.) like I said above, she is smart, and to be honest? She is kind of sensible, I said KIND OF, lol
should I have other saiyans show up? Like vegeta? Goku? Raditz? Same universe or different universe?
Who should be in the Percy x multi?
Any other characters from the DB franchise (any version of it is welcome, just give reasons, valid and good reasons)
what women from any of riordan's works?
Other fandoms?
Do you guys want me to go over the training, or would you prefer me to skip it and give little snippets of it, or just not show it at all? Let me know.
What age should he leave Themyscira? Why? How?
Just for hypothetical sake, three questions
1.) should Percy get SSJ (and any of its other stages) if so, when? How?
2.) should fusion play a part in this fic? Tbh I can't really rationalize this one.
3.) I am toying with the dragon balls in this, lol though I have to admit, not really sure on if I want to use them, since if Percy were to die, would he even be able to go to other world (db universe) ?
Now some fun questions, just curious, won't impact the story
who, in your opinion, is the hottest goddess?
Primordial goddess?
Titaness?
Demigoddess?
Huntress?
Amazon? (DC, and riordan)
