A/N: Update, all of my stories are off hiatus. I know right, that was quick. In fact you might not even know I was on hiatus but I was. I owe it to loonaticslover13, the author inspired me to continue to write. So thanks.
Okay Percy just called the gods their normal names without the Lord or Lady because all the gods love him. Exception would be Lady Artemis though. But he only calls her that our of pure fear, not wanting to get turned into an animal.
POV: Percy
I couldn't believe my ears. Did my father actually say that my grandfather was rising? No, this couldn't be.
"Dad, please say that this isn't actually happening. This is a joke right?" I asked. My dad shook his head and sighed. I knew what he was saying was the truth, but I refused to believe this. It can't be happening. Why couldn't Kronos just wait a few hundred years to rise?
I shrugged it off and put on a brave face. I was determined to find my father's helm of darkness, and my uncle's lightning bolt. I had already chosen. I was going on the quest with my brother, Nico. I didn't know anyone else so my daddy suggested going to camp half-blood.
I quickly agreed because I wanted to retrieve the items as quickly as possible. I hoped to retrieve the items before the summer solstice, that was about in sixteen days. It was settled, I was going to camp half-blood for a few days then I would hurry to find the items in the remaining days. Nico was coming along with me and Uncle Zeus had a cabin built for my father... my daddy, Hades, is a Olympian after all.
The only question was who was going to claim me. I was sure my daddy was going to but I didn't want Poseidon to. It would confuse the campers.
I voiced it out loud to daddy and he just chuckled
"Percy you do know that you are now called Prince of Olympus... along with Prince of the sky, sea, and underworld. Everyone knows who you are. They all know you are the only Adopted Son of Hades." He snickered as if I was missing something.
"Oh, well that clears everything up. Which cabin am I going to stay in then?" I asked daddy.
"You can stay in any cabin you want." Daddy frowned
"I want to stay in your cabin of course, daddy" I assured him and he grinned.
"You know me well "He commented
"I did live with you for a while so... I guess I should know you well" I stated the obvious
"Sometimes I really wonder if you are actually related to old Barnacle Beard, you are way too smart to be." He observed
"Thanks daddy, I am not related to him. I am related to you and you alone. So of course I am smart." I rolled my eyes.
Daddy just shrugged and flashed both Nico and I to Camp Half-Blood. We appeared right before the arch and a few campers appeared. They gasped in terror and bowed low to the ground before sinking into the shadows. I saw them run into camp without a second glance. I knew they were scared so I did something to embarrass them.
The shadows created a solid wall and they ran into the wall head first. I laughed out loud, when they groaned and clutched their heads. I heard daddy chuckle, Nico however was on the ground full blown laughing.
I grabbed Nico off the ground and I walked into camp. I looked back and daddy was staring at us. He had this sad look on his face so I walked back and gave him a tight hug.
"Bye, daddy" I whispered, I tightened the hug and he grunted.
"Not so tight son." He grunted and I laughed and pulled back.
"Daddy, I am going to miss you. I promise to IM you everyday though." I promised
"I will miss you too, son, Percy you better IM me or else the shadows will find you and bring you to me. Then I promise NOONE will be able to save you from my wraith." He sternly said
I gulped and took a step back.
An unknown shape flew passed me and hugged daddy. I looked closer and Nico was hugging daddy. Nico was crying and sobbing, daddy was trying to reassure him but it didn't seem to be working.
"Daddy, will I see you again?" He sniffed
"Of course Nico, I promise you will see me again. I will visit you if you want. Every night I will come to the cabin if you want. Screw the ancient laws, as well as Drama Queen." He chuckled when he used Zeus' nickname.
"I would like that. Please visit us daddy. Percy can IM you when we are in the cabin." He sobbed again before letting daddy go.
"Bye" Nico and I said in unison as Daddy dissolved into the shadows.
I walked under the arch for the second time tonight and wrapped my arm around Nico.
"Don't worry, daddy will visit us" I said. Nico stopped sobbing and smiled before we continued to walk towards the dining hall.
Camp was currently in the middle of supper when we appeared. Every single demi-god stopped and stared at us while we went to the Hades cabin.
"Hey do you want to trick them?" I whispered to Nico and he nodded in return. "Follow me then" I shot back.
I filled my plate with food, and then I walked toward the Hades table. But at the last moment I stopped and sat at the Hera table.
I heard the entire hall gasp as one and I smirked before saying a quick prayer to Hera. I knew she wouldn't blast me but I still wanted to thank her. I grinned at Nico and we returned to the Hades table.
Chiron trotted up to me and said
"How did you not get blasted by doing that?" He asked "I know you are the Prince of Olympus but even Zeus himself would be blasted." Chiron continued
"I didn't know that. Auntie Hera is one of the nicest people I know." I decided to play the innocent little one. Chiron and the entire hall gasped in unison again and I "pretended" to look all confused. "Why do you look at me like that? It is true Auntie Hair Bear is one of the nicest." I said boldly. A few people fainted and Dionysus walked in just then.
"What are some brats doing on the ground. GET UP!" He yelled in their ears they all hurriedly got back up and sat down. "That is better. Percy, my boy, there you are I was getting worried." He yelled across the room. I few more people fainted and I smirked. A black hologram appeared above me and a helm of darkness was shown. All the campers bowed, including Chiron. Chiron was about to announce my father to everyone but I thought it was already obvious and I cut him off.
"Why if it isn't the wine dude." I said
Dionysus just glared for a second before shrugging it off.
"I would tell you otherwise but I could care less, right now, Peter Johnson." I glared daggers at him and more people fainted. What is with this camp? I opened my mouth to correct him but I knew better. Daddy told me never to correct him.
"Fine you win this one but you only win because I am tired and want to return to my cabin. Come on Nico." I motioned and we left the hall, but not before Dionysus shouted
"Whatever lets you sleep better at night, Peter!"
Nico had to drag me to the cabin to prevent me from trying to strangle Dionysus.
I flopped down on the bed inside the cabin. I looked around at the surroundings.
The entire cabin was painted a solid back. But on every wall there was a picture of skeletons, demons, furies, and daddy. I smiled at the sight of one of the furies. Alecto, she loved to follow me around. I think daddy put her up to it but she would comment on everything I did and then report all the bad things to daddy. I would get in trouble often but sometimes she let me off the hook.
Nico who spent a shorter time didn't know much about Alecto. Alecto unfortunately had to be put to work in the fields of punishment, due to the rise in deaths. We didn't see her often but we knew she was doing a good job before daddy would come home sometimes laughing his head off at some of the things she did to those poor mortals.
Nico flopped on the bed across from me. I jumped up and landed right on his bed. I pulled the covers over him and trapped him inside. He struggled to get out but I refused to let him escape.
"Per-cy please" I heard him plead from inside. I grinned and let him go. He gasped when I let him out. "Air, the sweet air." He gasped, clutching his throat.
I erupted into laughter before remembering I still had to IM daddy. I hastily took a drachma out. I tossed it and asked for daddy. Daddy appeared, he seemed to be pacing but stopped when he noticed Nico and I.
"Why didn't you IM me earlier?" He demanded as soon as he saw me. I thought this over before replying.
"Daddy I am sorry for not IMing you before but I was busy, with stuff."I hastily said.
Nico jumped into the conversation just then.
"He was busy trapping me under my own covers!" He complained to daddy. Daddy just stared at him in confusion.
"Why didn't you just use the shadows to get out then?" Daddy leaned his head to the side.
"Darn, I forgot about that." Nico replied, smacking his head.
"Well don't forget it next time" Daddy huffed, disappointed.
"I won't." Nico promised
"Don't worry daddy I will make sure Nico doesn't forget." I gave him an evil smile that daddy didn't see because I turned around and pretended to search for something. I heard Nico grumble in protest but I ignored him. "So were you doing before I called?" I turned around to face him.
"Nothing interesting" He replied casually. My eyes narrowed, from the way his face was pale during the beginning of the call I knew better. It was obvious daddy was worried sick... but I didn't mention this because I knew better than to tease him. I heard a knock on the door. "Coming, give me a minute please!" I shouted in the direction of the door.
"Daddy, can you come over later when the person is gone?" Nico asked
"Of course, Nico, I will I did promise you remember?" He chuckled. "Just give me a minute, I will come." He swiped his hand through the message and the connection was lost.
I walked towards the door and opened it. Luke was standing next to the cabin, leaning on the wall.
"Can I help you?" I asked. Then I noticed his sleeping bad in his hand. "Why do you have your sleeping bag?"
"Sorry about this but the Hermes cabin added a few more people today and I needed a place to stay because I gave them my bunk. If you guys don't mind, can I stay with you?" Luke asked raising his eyebrows. His eyes grew big and he gave a pleading stare.
"Luke, you know I would do anything for you we are like brothers. Even though we have only known each other, for about a few years" I rolled my eyes and invited him in. "Nico, you might not remember Luke but when we broke out of Kronos's place we also freed many demi-gods in the process. Some were killed there but many escaped and joined Camp Half-Blood, like Luke." I explained to Nico and he nodded.
The Hades cabin had more than a few bed so we all got our own. Hades, my hellhound, was resting on the floor. Zeus, the giant eagle was staring at Luke however. Zeus continued to stare and Luke stopped where he was.
"Is that a giant eagle?" He choked out
"Yep, I got it from Zeus." I chuckled at his expression. "Dude, your face is priceless." Nico joined me and we laughed our heads off.
"Not funny, I have never met my father..." He looked down at the ground.
"Don't worry Luke you will meet your father." I promised him.
"That is not possible..." He mumbled "He doesn't want to meet me anyways..." He continued
"What is nonsense, Hermes... Lord Hermes has always wanted to meet you. When he would visit the underworld all he would talk about is you and your accomplishments." I said
"Really, he wants to meet me?" He asked hopefully
"Really, you can meet him right now if you want." I said looking outside the cabin. "Follow me." I whispered and snuck out of the cabin. Nico stayed behind, he had seen Lord Hermes way to many times. "Lord Hermes, I have someone who wants to meet you" I whispered into the gloom
"Can he hear you?" Luke asked surprised I didn't have to yell.
"Yeah of cours-" I was cut off by Lord Hermes coming and teddy bear hugging me "Can't breathe... need air" I gasped and he frowned
"You my friend are such a party pooper." He shook his head, in disapproval.
"Whatever you say Germies, that is besides the point though, Luke here wants to see you." I gestured to Luke. Hermes gasped and turned toward him.
"Luke, my precious boy" He exclaimed and pulled Luke into a huge hug.
"Dad, it is good to finally meet you. Why didn't you visit me?" Luke sobbed
"I couldn't the ancient laws but I promise to be a better father." Hermes said with tears in his eyes. I didn't know from what though. Luke and his hug or he was actually sad. Probably the later, Hermes and Luke stayed like that for a few minutes, just sobbing into each other's shoulders. "Thank you Percy, for bring me to see my boy."
"You're welcome Hermes. I will leave you two to yourselves then. It seems you have a little catching up to do." I replied as I walked away slowly. Backing away I ran to my cabin and shut the door. Nico laughed at the expression my face but stopped when he noticed Luke coming back with Hermes.
"That was short" Nico gulped
"I want to see you, that is why!" Hermes exclaimed before he lunged. He landed and on the bed. Nico having rolled to the side missed most of the impact.
"Hermes, come on stop it please!" Nico managed to say between laughs.
"Fine, but only if you promise to IM me more often. It has been too long." Hermes replied still tickling Nico.
"I promise" Nico gasped and Hermes stopped
"Better, I will see you too later" He point at Luke and Nico. They both gulped and looked at me. I nodded and went to their beds. Hermes left and we were left along again.
"Geez, I am grateful to meet my father and everything but is he always like this?" Luke questioned
"Yup, all the time just wait, sometimes he comes over for a sleepover when he doesn't have much mail to deliver." I smirked and he gulped once more.
"I am glad I don't live with him" Nico said looking down at the ground.
"What do you want to do tonight?" I asked
"Nothing just rest. Tomorrow we can do everything in the world, but I am tired." Luke replied.
I brushed my teeth and put on PJs. After hitting Nico in the heat with a pillow I returned to my bed and fell into a deep sleep.
