That Which Does Not Kill You Makes You Stronger

by Pikachupercyharryfirestar

(Jeremy Hoffman and the minor gods book one) My first Regular story, plz read and review constructively Part of a series. I procastinate, so no regular updates. No flames will be permitted. Flames will be reported and if it is a guest, i will personally delete the review.

11. Chapter 9

AN: It would appear that I'm working on a new story! Well, it's not happened yet. Also, Mr. "Guest", I have an idea of who you are, if you really know who I am (This guy is on my other story, The Olympic Marriage). In fact, I dare you to name yourself, "Guest". I have a few suspicions. Kennedy? Joshua? (and no, it's not a coincidence that they happen to also be my OCs' names, I based them on them, they used to be great friends) Show yourself.

Anyways…

Chapter 9

Cheryl POV

A dark rag cloaked me as I was walking over to my cabin, dragging me to the Underworld. When I got there, I saw a man with eyes that you could stare into indefinitely, and would still not see an end. My "father" figure, a man who had adopted me for a few years. I knew his name now. Hades. "Hello, father." I said. "Hello, Cheryl. I suppose you think that I am your father. That is not the case. I am just your great great great great grandfather. Your father is another man, one you would not expect." "Who?" "That I have sworn to not tell. Know however that you are stronger than most demigods if you knew what your powers were and how to control them." "Even Percy?" "No, not him. His parentage traces back to many gods and Titans from a long time ago, though he does not know it. His power rivals us, if not being more than us." "Well, can you at least tell me Percy's parentage?" "You know his father is Poseidon. His mother's great grandfather is in fact one of the lesser known gods, whose existence we only discovered recently." "Wait, so there's this secret god?" "Yes." "Ok… so why did you bring me here?" "You need to learn about your parentage and how to use your powers, including the ones I have blessed you with." "But I thought you said you can't tell me who my father is?" "Yes, but he can." I saw a bright flash of light, and as the light dimmed down, I saw someone who was supposed to be my father. Oceanus. A Titan. "Hello, my daughter. I am sorry I did not reach you earlier, but anywhere else on Earth, you would be killed instantly. Even off Earth, for that matter." "Wait. So you're my father. And I'm supposed to have control over the sea." "To a certain extent, yes." "Well then, let's get to training me!"

AN: Yes, I know this is a bit short, but I was carried away reading other stories, like "The Black-Hearted Warrior" by Izzybella12. BTW, great story, go check it out!
