When I opened my eyes I couldn't really see anything. I just saw gold.
I scrunched up my face and blinked furiously. I wouldn't have even noticed Apollo, my dad, Hermes and Zeus watching me if it wasn't for their murmuring.
"I guess he's still a dimwit" Muttered Zeus, back to his normal I hate Percy so much self.
"My son is not a dimwit" Said my dad bitterly, though I could tell he was bursting with pride inside.
I frowned but didn't say anything.
"Yeah" I groaned. But I sounded different. Like some handsome dreamy movie star that all the girls wanted times a thousand. It wasn't me. It wasn't Percy. My eyes widened. "Whoa, that's not normal!"
I frowned deeper as they began to chuckle.
I felt someone's arm wrap round my shoulder and i stiffened slightly.
"Ah Percy, I have a feeling were going to be great friends. Finally I have someone who looks as good as me. Apart from Aphrodite and Hermes of Corse. No offence to the other gods but you all choose to look so old. And now I have someone to woo the ladies with. Fantastic."
"Apollo?" I said, still shocked by my different voice and slightly worried by the prospect of wooing the ladies, but actually looking forward to it. Even though I couldn't see him I knew he was grinning.
"In the flesh" He stated proudly. I heard my father and Zeus sigh.
"Percy, Apollo here will be your mentor in your godly duty. Just try not to have as many demigods as him" Zeus stated "My brother here would be quite disturbed if his sixteen year old son sired any children"
"Translation" Apollo whispered in a sing song voice to me "Try not to have more than two in your first year"
I couldn't help it, I cracked up. Even my laugh was different and insanely handsome. One word: weird.
Then something hit me.
"Uh, lord Zeus, what exactly am I the god of? How am I even alive? I should be dead. I mean, I heard you and the fates and stuff but I thought I was just going loopy. This is crazy. I can't even see. I just see gold" I widened my eyes a fraction to emphasize my point.
"Well Perseus-" Zeus began but was cut off by my father.
"You're the god of Time" He began, but I guess like father like son because I interrupted him.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because Percy" He was cut off by Zeus.
"You defeated the titan of time, did you not?" He explained boredly.
To tell the truth I was shocked to silence.
They carried on.
"You are also the god of: Animals, don't even ask why, Demons and sorry to break this to you but you share a few titles with Aphrodite seems she insisted you should"
I almost immediately felt the blood drain from my face.
"She what!" I shouted
"She wanted you to become the male god of Beauty and desire, probably so she can spend more time with you. Anyway seems she is the goddess of love she gave you the power over Puppy love" Everyone in the room barked a laugh, except me.
"Why" I whispered in one short straggled breath.
"You were very close to that daughter of Athena, I guess it's her way of re-paying you for messing with you" My father answered.
"Oh uh ok, anything else" I honestly think my brain will explode if I get any more information.
"Nothing else yet, you can be granted more titles in time" Apollo said breezily.
I nodded numbly muttering an ok.
"Also guys" I frowned once again "As I said before, I can't actually see"
There was silence before Apollo's cheery voice filled the room.
"Oh sorry, Percy. You're going to have to go to sleep for a while for that to heal so… night kiddo"
I gaped then snapped.
"Wait what!" My new voice sounded a little threatening. That was about the time my head fell to the pillow.
