No Turning Back
AN/ 'Sup, awesome readers. So, Anyway, I read your reviews and I put thought to it. The chapters are kind of rushed, because I post anything that just comes into my mind. I'm changing that style though, after this explanation chapter. I did think it it would mean a longer wait for newer chapters. But, I promise it will be worth the wait.
I'm also doing the triple editing thing now, because sometimes I sometimes forget to write certain words and letters.
This chapter is kind of like an explanation for everything I just threw in at the first two chapters. I'm trying to explain this in the eyes of different people that was a part of Percy/Aella's life. The story will have the occasional flash backs, but I just figured an explanation like this is needed. I'm just going to say that the these first three chapters were introductions or...yeah.
But before you dig into that, I wanted to talk about the pairings and such. My first thoughts when I imagined this story was Fem!Percy and Jason, but I wanted to know what you guys thought. A lot had suggested ApolloxFem!Percy, and the Luke thing just came to me. Just keep on suggesting, guys. You never know when a good plot twist is gonna happen. Reviews are appreciated. :P
Percy Jackson. Son of Poseidon, Hero of Olympus, One of the Seven, Bane of Kronos, Gaea and countless monsters, survivor of Tartarus, and many more.
Percy Jackson. Son of Poseidon, Fiance of Annabeth Chase.
Perseus "Percy" Jackson. Son of Poseidon, brother of the Prophecy child and Hero of Olympus.
Perseus Jackson. Ex-Son of Poseidon, Former Hero of Olympus, Ex-boyfriend/Fiance of Annabeth Chase, Spy for Gaea and Kronos, Murderer of the Prophecy Child, Prisoner of Olympus.
Perseus Jackson...
Percy Jackson. Savior of Olympus. Proven Innocent.
He accused Alex of being a spy of Gaea, and he says that was one of the reasons he killed him. It was the only logical explanation, because I know my Percy would never kill someone without any reason. I wanted to believe him, even when his explanations seemed unbelievable. But I didn't. My mother was watching, and I couldn't bring myself to say I believed in him. I was forced to pick between someone I love and someone who I wanted to love me. I broke up with him when he came to Camp Half-Blood for the last time. It hurt me more than it hurt him, and I just know he would understand if he knew...

Jackson was banished yesterday.
Almost all the Olympians voted for Jackson's banishment, only a handful disagreeing. It disgusted me, sickened me that even my dad believed Alexander. They were blind, and prideful just like the Athena girl. If only they saw what that bastard (Alex) had been doing. They're going to regret this.
Because I know we'll need him again, and this time, I'm sure he's not going to be there to save our sorry asses.

Do you know how hard it is to stop a whole camp of heavily armed demigods from assaulting a different camp? It was really hard, especially since I wanted to give Camp Half-Blood, uh, a special gift too. The camp had already proclaimed Percy as our honorary praetor, and what the Greeks did to him was unacceptable.
I couldn't believe it though, couldn't believe how the Greeks acted. They were Percy's family and the moment he wasn't needed he was thrown away. I thought the Greeks were better than the Romans, because they all acted like family.Who said, Opinions can't change?

Don't judge me, but I never really knew Zeus before. The only thing I knew about him, was that he was the worst "godly" father ever. I didn't actually think he was a prideful, ego-maniac king. Over the past few months, I've grown to really really "like" him. Especially now that he finds out Percy wasn't lying about Alex James being a bastard. Surprise surprise.
I gotta thank the Athena twins though. They were the ones that found evidence on Percy's innocence. I'm not the only one expressing my gratitude though, Camp Jupiter threw a party to them. And both me and the twins were very much surprised, but I didn't really know how crazy the Romans could get, so I didn't judge.
I'm happy, I went to Camp Backstabbers that day though. I went there to pick a few stuff from Bunker 9 and maybe visit the Oracle, since she never talks to the Greeks unless needed to. You'll never believe it, but the Greeks that believed in Percy was actually welcomed to live amongst the Romans, and I happily complied. Me and Calypso are actually going to collage there, and it's actually nice.

They're really stupid. I mean, really really stupid. If they think that giving us immortality will make up for everything. They're idiots. That's all I have to say.
UPDATE: I know Percy's soul isn't in the underworld. There are missing souls too, and that's what I'm doing now. Finding Percy and the missing souls...
UPDATE: My dad is trying to be nicer to me now. Because, Poseidon's being a real baby and crying over Percy, I can't help roll my eyes, 'cause Percy technically isn't Poseidon's son anymore. Last time I checked, Poseidon abandoned him.. I hang out with my dad though, and I'm actually glad he's one of the few gods that vouched for Percy.

I swear, I'm going to kill that Kelp Head once I see him. I know I'll see him. He's alive. He is.
Death Breath said he was alive. He is alive. Almost all of us are looking, because we know he's out there. Breathing and alive. Because we know he escaped the Cyclopes Poseidon sent. He's alive.
And once, I see him. I'm going to kill him.

I've been watching Perseus for years. I watched him grow from the scrawny demigod into a fearsome leader. I saw everything from the moment thee won against Gaea to his proposal to the daughter of Athena. I saw his new brother come and ruin his life. I saw him kill his brother when he threatened to kill everyone Perseus loved. I saw his fiance cheat on him. I saw his friends leave him. I saw him get banished.
I've been watching Aella Omega for months. I watched her grow into a brave young warrior. I saw her save young demigods from thou mercy of monsters. I saw her recruit demigods who were treated badly. I saw her recruit people, creatures who wanted a family. I saw her ask her mother if she could talk to me. I didn't see her, but I heard her ask me. I heard her ask me if I wanted a family.
I answered 'Yes'.

Elysium gets boring after a while, you know? But, I guess, wishing for something-anything-to happen wasn't the greatest wish ever. I didn't expect the female version of Jackson to come and offer us in...joining her evil army. I didn't get it at first. Heck, I didn't believe she was actually Jackson the first few time she explained it. Not until she said the gods threw her like some used toy did I understood. I don't know why, but I just felt like I knew what she was going through.
The moment, I realize it was really her-him-whatever, I went to full apologizing mode. It never really hit me, of all the horrible things I've done until I apologized. Until I apologized to her.
UPDATE: Selena and Beckendorf and a few other souls joined a few days after I joined. We had to be careful though, Lady Chaos couldn't conceal a whole lot of dead souls coming back to life.
UPDATE: Training with Jackson was actually cool. It was very different from the time I was training her-him? Because she was more experienced and she was techinically the "master" now. And the fact that she actually forgave me. It was the first time I smiled in ages.

AN/ Thoughts? INTRODUCTION finally over. If you want something explained, please just tell me. Don't worry though, all the things I left out will appear in the story. I don't know when I'll get the chance to update again, since I'm setting a goal for longer chapters.
