Chapter 2: Scream

The centaur had seen countless heroes and villains rise throughout his immortal life. Some of them shone bright as a star and burned long after they died, others were nothing but a short flicker of light in a long and blood filled history. And tragically, there were heroes who died before they could have any kind of impact at all, not even making it to the footnotes of the ever evolving mythos surrounding Olympus. However, one thing the centaur had noticed over the eons was the correlation between greatness and tragedy. It was as if the tapestry of fate could not bear legends with an equal amount of downfalls to keep her wheel spinning.

Hercules, Achilles and Bellerophon were only the first names in an ever growing list of bad endings.

As Chiron looked towards the next demigod in front of him, he could only pray that his life would be insignificant and dull.

Eren Yeager. 12 years old, black hair and son of Sally Yeager. His heritage was unknown, and although Chiron had suspicions, he preferred not to speculate on them. He knew the Fates laughed in the face of those who made schemes, plans and tried to predict the future.

Briefly, the centaur had looked into the young boy's past.

It was the same picture he had seen so many times.

Eren Yeager had been sent from school to school, a usual troubled kid that nobody really knew what to do, so they just passed him around, like a game of hot potato.

Eren's grades were below average, but not drastically. His dyslexia was handicapping the boy in some ways but there was also the lack of trying. He spent more time getting into fights than any other students.

Eren's homelife, so far Chiron could find, was pretty stable. After her divine partner left, Eren's mother had been in a relationship with a mortal named Gabriel Ugliano. This lasted until Eren's 9th birthday, after which Gabriel abruptly left.

His grade's improved slightly after that, but not nearly enough to warrant any attention.

Besides that, Eren's life so far has been pretty average for a demigod.

The only thing that caused Chiron to come to his school was the underlying current of power Grover felt coming from the boy. Something that even shook the satyr when he felt it.

And now Chiron saw the young demigod through the split crack in the double doors.

Clearly, Chiron was not the only one who had been attracted to Eren's scent.

Eren Yeager backed away from the demonic creature that broke through Mrs. Dodds flesh. He was trembling, stricken by fear and disbelief.

"You think we are stupid?" the Fury asked, no longer bothering with keeping up her human form.

Chiron saw Eren freeze. The demigod wasn't moving, instead he was going into some sort of shock.

"Impossible, impossible, impossible," Eren muttered, looking at the transforming monstrosity in front of him.

That's not good, Chiron thought to himself.

"The bolt, where is it! You took it from him, give it back!" Mrs. Dodds flew up. Sharp jagged claws lashed out at the demigod's face.

Eren, still reeling from the sight in front of him, somehow managed to react and dug underneath the strike. A mantra repeated through his head. Something that caused him to move, even though his mind could barely believe what it was witnessing.

Chiron would have claimed it were his demigod instincts kicking in, the ancient code for battle that was burned into his being was finally called upon and awakened.

He was dead wrong.

Like a sudden storm on sea Eren's expression changed. In an instant the expression of shock on his face was replaced by one of pure rage.

Eren screamed and without any thoughts behind it, he threw himself onto the Fury, pinning the Hellish servant underneath his own body weight.

Both Chiron and Alecto had been alive far longer than any human. They had seen countless states of the human psyche, yet Chiron had never seen such anger coming from a person.

Alecto, for once, was completely caught by surprise by the suicidal leap of spite the demigod had taken.

"I don't know what the hell you are but"I'll kill you!" Eren screamed his lungs out before burying his fists into the Fury's face. An onslaught of curses and threats came from his mouth, each meaningless threat accentuated by a punch and followed by a more vulgar scream.

Brave, Chiron thought, but absolutely suicidal.

Before Alecto could recover from the surprise Chiron pushed open the doors and tossed the pen towards the demigod.

Eren, despite being caught in his own rage, managed to register the flying object and caught it.

In his hands, the bronze pen elongated and warped itself into a long sharp blade.

The sword was buried into Alecto's body the second after it grew to its full size. It buried itself into the marble flooring of the gallery with a loud and hollow sounding echo.

The monster pinned underneath Eren faded to gold coloured dust.

Chiron decided to make his leave at that moment, deciding that it was best to leave the young hero to himself.

Hopefully he would recover from the shock and believe it was all a hallucination. Something that his own mind conjured up.

He would recover the pen later and work the mist so the narrative that this was an ordinary day would be maintained.

He prayed that Eren would think of this day as nothing but a fleeting dream.

However, if the centaur had stayed a little longer he could have seen Eren Yeager sitting in the empty gallery, looking at his hands and the golden dust that spilled through.

He would have seen the demigod's horrified expression as he realized that this world was not what he thought it was.

The dreadful realization began to dawn on him. There were monsters out there. Something must have sent that creature. It wanted something from him. Someone had threatened to take his life, to take his freedom. And he had been unable to do anything about it,

Everything he had known about this world was a lie.

He was never truly free.


A/N So far the story is still alive. On life support, but alive. If I am to continue this fanfic it will most likely continue in this kind of format. It's a bit different from what I'd normally do, but I think it works better for the kind of story I am trying to tell.

My basic premise is: What if Eren Yeager was in the world of Percy Jackson, how would he change things?

If you have anything to say or want to support the story, please review and favorite. It does help me with my motivation, a lot.

A:No memories.

Благодарю!

С нетерпением жду продолжения)

A: Thank you!

Delta6697: I have questions that I imagine will be answered in future chapters, such as:

Does Eren Yeager completely replace Percy as a character? Is he still descended from Poseidon, if so? Does Percy still exist?

Will it just be PJO, but Percy has a different name and Eren's personality, or are there more prominent differences? This could turn out to be very good, so keep writing, don't give up! I'd love to see the next chapterThank you, and have a great day!

A: I believe this chapter should answer some of your questions.
