The Goddess Guard
Iris was in her palace walking to her bedroom with her guardian hiding in the shadows when she heard footsteps echoing through the corridor to the right of
her. She looked down the hallway to see the love goddess strutting towards her with a bright smile on her face and a bundle of something in her arms. When she reached
Iris, she caught sight of what was in her arms. It was a beautiful baby boy with his eyes closed and his tiny chest rising and falling steadily' signifying he was
asleep. Iris gave the Aphrodite a peculiar look. The goddess just kept on grinning like a mad woman.
"Why have you brought this boy here?" She said in a kind tone."I was wondering if you wanted to have a new son, one that you can take care of personally" Iris would be
lying if she said she wasn't interested."Doesn't that go against the ancient laws?" Aphrodite shook her head."No, he is not your own child" Iris nodded."And why can't
you take care of the baby?" Aphrodite blushed the slightest bit."Because he is going to be the most handsome man this world has ever seen, and I can't have him
thinking of me as a mother" She said. While Iris just shook her head a little bit. But she would pick a new son over a lover any day."I will do it then" Aphrodite
squealed in delight."Oh and do keep him a secret please, I'm begging you" That last part was extremely hard to say."Ok I will keep him secret, now hand over my son
over"Iris said, excited to get son she can actually care for. Aphrodite grudgingly handed the baby to Iris. The baby's eyes shot open in surprise from the loss of
warmth. Iris gasped at the sight of his eyes. The iris' were a brilliant purple color, but the pupils were very odd. They were a silver color. Iris knew what this
meant, but she would not let him go to her, not yet any way. Aphrodite gave one last adoring look to the baby before flashing out. Suddenly a tall boy with blond hair
and blue eyes stepped out from the shadows.
"You know that he is one of us don't you?" Iris nodded."But I will not give him up to his killer yet, I will shield him from her until becomes immortal again" The boy
behind her nodded."That only gives us twenty years to make this boy a great man" Iris nodded in agreement."You are one of the most respected in the Goddess Guard, and
one of the most skilled. I expect you to train him to be a fearce warrior in battle, while I will teach him to be a kind gentle man" The guardian chuckled."I've
always wanted to have a little brother" The infant in the goddess' arms reached up and started to play with her luscious brown hair."And I have always wanted a son"
FIVE YEARS LATER
Iris sat in the grass with a peaceful silence while watching her son. Kids ran in the field in utter chaos. They played games and ran around the field while
one single child sat in the middle of it. He had a calm and gentle face that showed no interest in playing, but instead watching and observing. Even from a distance
his mother could see his immature but handsome facial features and his beautiful purple eyes. He glanced up slightly and put his index finger. A butter fly landed on it
and he smiled. He admired it for a while longer before he got up and slowly walked to his mother. When he reached her she smiled warmly.
"I'm ready to go train now mom" She nodded and stood up as a blond haired young man came into the view. The young boy smiled and waited patiently for the guardian to
approach them. When he reached them the boy walked over to him and hugged his leg."Hi Jason I'm ready for my training" Jason smiled at the boy as he let go of his
leg."Alright Percy, our next lesson starts right in that forest" He pointed to the dense forest right next to the field. Percy nodded as they started to walk towards
the woods. When they reached the woods Percy did his usual five mile warm up run.
When Percy came back he was sweaty and panting slightly Jason pulled out a beautiful ring. It was an electric blue band with two words engraved into it in
greek.καταιγίδα φέρνει 'Storm Bringer'. Percy saw the ring and knew that he was in for a treat. Jason handed the young boy the intreaging ring.
"Put it on and twist it"" He said with a smirk. Percy did as he was told and a beautiful bow appeared in his hand and a quiver full of arrows on his back. It was the
same electric blue that reminded Percy of Jason's eyes. There were many swirly lines engraved in it that looked like it was supposed depict wind. Percy smiled at the
beautiful weapon in his hand that seamed to feel so natural in his hand. Jason opened his mouth to say instruct his young brother but before he could Percy had notched
an arrow with ease and master foot work he aimed high. When he let loose the arrow flew with immense speed. A slight thunk was heard and about three hundred feet away a
squirle fell from a branch with a blue arrow pierced through its stomach. Jason wasn't in slight awe but also in a little bit of a frightened look. He was frightened
because he knew what was happening, his body is making the connection with his old life as the connection with his goddess got stronger. And if she ever found out he
and Iris had hid Perseus they were done for, although he had a feeling that Perseus wouldn't let that happen,
As Percy trained more he had realised why Percy was one of the most respected guardians in his past life. Jason could not wait to witness what Percy was like
when he was back in his twenty year old form, but that was a long time away. Right now Jason had to train young Perseus in battle while his goddess taught him how to
be a calm, gentle, patient and good man. Speaking of right now, at this time Percy had his silver hunting knives sheathed and his bow in its ring form. That's when
Jason felt the godly presence that he had feared to encounter before his twenty years with Perseus was up. Suddenly a group of teenage girls stepped into view. They
were led by a girl with auburn hair. Jason quickly pulled Percy behind him in a protective manner. Percy did not fight it, if his brother was doing something he had a
reason.
"Do not move Percy" Jason said out loud. He mentally slapped himself for saying his brothers name even if it was a nickname he knew Artemis was smart enough to
decifer it. After two seconds her eyes widened and she had her bow up and pointed at Jason, the hunters quickly followed suit.
"Hand him over BOY" She hissed."I'm afraid I can't do that my lady" Artemis became angry."And why not" She yelled."Because you lost your chance six years ago" He
said. The moon goddess gasped."He whent through rebirth for me" Jason slightly shook his head."He doesn't know you any more" Her eyes saddened before they became
determined."We'll see about that" She snapped her finger and a ornately made bow that looked a lot like Artemis' symbol of power. She stepped forward."Hey Perseus" Percy did not move,
even though he was curious about the voice that sounded a little to familiar."Percy please do not move Jason said while mentally asking for help from Iris."Perseus
don't you remember me, we used to be best friends, you were my guardian. Look this was yours" Percy's eyes scrunched up. His five year old curiosity won over his five
years of patience training. He walked out from behind Jason and took a step towards. Jason reached out for him but he couldn't move without getting shot by the
hunters. Artemis saw the five year old that was slowly walking towards her and her eyes filled with tears. She knew it was Perseus. He had the same raven black hair
and his features were a little similar, then she noticed the little boys eyes. She realised why her pupils changed into a purple color. When she he reached her she
knelt down and showed him the bow in her hands."Isn't it beautiful?" She asked while Percy nodded.
"But I have my own already" He twisted his ring and as it turned into Storm Bringer she smiled."That is a beautiful bow she said, if you come with me I can teach you
how to use it" He just shook his head."I already know how, and Jason can teach me" She frowned knowing he would never come with her. She knew she had to use force.
When she was about to try a hooded figure appeared."You would not even be able to if you tried" He said. He looked tall and had beautiful white wings. He let off a lot
off power and there was a slight purple glow from underneath the hood. Jason took his chance and quickly lunged and scooped Percy up. Right when the hunter were about
to shoot Iris appeared with a hood on as well. The man began to glow slightly."Leave now" His voice emanated power. The hunters and Artemis' eyes glazed over and they
silently got up and walked away. Percy was the unfazed for some reason that even he didn't know."Who are you?" The man stopped glowing and turned to them. He brought
down his hood revealing the most handsome man any of them had ever seen.
"I am Eros primordial of love, and your father"
