Hey everybody! So sorry for the late update, my roommate spilled Mountain Dew on my computer and I just got a new one. As for the Percy pairings, there will be three. One Greek, One Roman, and One Goddess. The wives will be immortal and the only lovers of Percy.
The Roman has been decided; Reyna is now the official lover of Perseus!
The Goddess has yet to be decided, but it is between Hestia and Aphrodite, I'll flip a coin. I swear that I will be completely honest with the outcome. (End of chapter)
The person who can P.M. me the correct answer to the following question first will choose.
Question: Who is Reyna's godly parent?
I sighed in content as I felt the power start to truly course through my veins. It was exhilarating. I just kind of stood there for about ten minutes letting it sink in.
Then, a centaur appeared with a bow in his hands, the arrow pointed straight at me.
"Whoa there dude. Can you lower that thing? I don't think it'd be healthy to have an arrow sticking out of my back," I said backing up a bit, trying to look frightened. It took a lot out of me not to laugh, that arrow would barely pierce my skin.
"Who are you? How did you take down the three Kindly Ones and the Minotaur? I've never seen you here before, and you haven't had any training," the centaur asked wearily, I now recognized him as Chiron, the hero trainer.
"I'm not sure, it just came to me," I told him, it wasn't a complete lie, it did come to me.
He still looked cautious, but put his bow down.
"Well, I must introduce myself. My name is Chiron; I am the activities director here at Camp Half-Blood, a camp for children of the Greek gods. You are a demigod, Mr.…"
"Uh, Percy. Percy Jackson." I hated that last name. I really did.
"Ah, Mr. Jackson. I am still in awe of your fighting skills, instead of the usual introductions; I'll send you to Luke. Wait here while I go and fetch him."
He then started to gallop of in the direction of what looked like an old camping cabin, turning back to look at me and then shake his head, as if he was battling himself.
I know, it was probably wrong, but I read his emotions. And his mind.
He was confused, and was thinking that I may be a son of Zeus. Hah yeah right.
For about 5 minutes I sat on the ground fiddling with my ring, shooing off girls, and gazing at the sun that Uncle Apollo was driving.
Suddenly, I felt a wave of anger course through me, and I didn't know why. My head jerked away from the sun and downwards towards the clip-clopping of hooves.
"Percy, this is Luke. He'll show you around camp and get you situated in cabin 11. Luke, this is Percy. He just took down the Minotaur and the Kindly Ones, single handedly. You might want to exchange notes," Chiron introduced us, gesturing wildly with his hands.
"Annabeth, can you go away? Please?" Chiron asked a blonde girl that I just now noticed. She kept on looking between Luke and me. I could read two emotions, Love and Lust. Wow.
"No. I think I'll stay a little bit longer. You know, help Luke introduce him," she replied dreamily, looking straight at me.
I suddenly became aware that my shirt was unbuttoned, so I buttoned it up. I didn't know a god, a god of love, could feel self-conscious.
I looked into Luke's eyes, and I saw things in his head, Kronos, hatred of the gods, stealing of the bolt and the helm, his fate.
Before I knew it, some unknown instinct overcame me, and I went primal.
There were two things on my mind, traitor and kill.
A bow appeared in my hands, and a deep godly voice forced itself out of my mouth.
"Luke Castellan, son of Hermes, you shall die for your treacheries against the gods and for your dealings with the evil titan, Kronos!" I boomed at him.
He started to flee, and I followed two arrows already nocked.
A bright silver light rippled over my head, and I think I turned silver. I let my arrows fly from the bow, watching as they raced towards their target.
The hunt had begun.
I know that was like super short compared to the last one, but I wanted a cliffhanger. I'll update on Friday, now that I have my new computer. Oh right! The goddess coin toss!
Heads: Aphrodite
Tails: Hestia
And the winner is: Aphrodite
Congratulations Aphrodite! You became Percy's goddess wife!
Thanks for reading,
