Chapter 2 The Curse
Percy POV
To say I was stunned was an understatement. I was overcome with so many emotions but the most prominent one was pure rage.
I looked at Annabeth who kept looking forward, unfazed and as cool and collected as she had always been.
I looked at Jason who was grinning.
From this moment to the end of time I would never forgive Jason Grace.
When I looked over at Piper my heart fell. She was in tears and wasn't doing a very good job of hiding it.
I hugged her and then on pure instinct and impulse I kissed her.
This was by far the best feeling that I had ever experienced.
I pulled away and looked at her. Our foreheads touched and she new what I was thinking right away.
"Piper McLean, who do you choose," said a Zeus that was cockier than ever.
"Percy Jackson," she said while still looking into my eyes.
"Yes." I said before Zeus could say anything more.
Piper McLean and me were to be married for all eternity, I think I could live with that.
Leo and Nico chose to stay single.
Zeus addressed us, "Now you need a domain, a place where you will exert you rule the most. Leo?"
"Philadelphia." Leo spoke without any hesitance.
"Nico?"
Nico thought about it and then replied "L.A."
"Jason?"
"San Francisco."
"Annabeth?"
"New York."
"Hazel?"
"San Francisco."
"Frank?"
"San Francisco."
No surprises there.
"Percy?"
I thought about which city had the most to do with storms.
"New Orleans." I answered with confidence in my voice.
Piper also answered New Orleans.
The meeting had adjourned and I was walking back to our palace with Piper.
There was a bright flash and suddenly Aphrodite was standing there.
"Sweetie could you give me a second with Percy?" Aphrodite asked.
Piper nodded and kept walking.
"I'll catch up to you," I called. I turned to a very pissed looking Aphrodite.
"Hello Percy, how's it going?" She asked
"Good, I guess." I responded.
"If you do anything to hurt my sweet little Piper I will end you." As the sentence progressed I got more and more scared. Who knew Aphrodite could be this scary.
"Yes ma'am." I responded. I ran off to see where Piper was.
100 Years Later
Piper and me had lived peacefully on Olympus for the past 100 years; even one of my demigod sons led a quest to destroy the Hydra, not bad.
This year was special though because Piper had just given birth to our first child, a boy named Theseus, who was named after his uncle. He was to become the God of the Great Lakes in Michigan.
There was also some troubling news, The Primordial Gods were rising and the Gods would have to destroy them.
Over the past 100 years many things changed.
Leo got married to the Goddess of Snow, Khione. Nico got married to Nemesis, the Goddess of Revenge.
The two camps, Jupiter and Half-Blood combined to make Camp Demigod in New Rome.
The Greeks weren't too happy about that.
There was a prophecy involving three Demigods, a son of Ares, a son of Jason, and a Daughter of Demeter.
The three had to go to the Sea of Monsters and defeat Circe. (Original, right?)
Going back to what I said earlier Zeus called a meeting to discuss the Primordial threat.
"We cannot simply stand by and let them gain power, we must crush them while they are still weak."
Piper was standing next to me holding our baby. Leo and the rest of them were sitting on the other side of me.
Suddenly someone was in the center of the room. Before Zeus could react he spoke with such calmness to his voice that it was almost soothing.
"I am Ouranos, Primordial of the Sky and I will end this foolish war that will soon commence on one condition."
Hephaestus asked, "What condition?"
Ouranos looked at us cruelly, "You must sacrifice a God to the Primordials."
It felt like time had stopped itself. We must have been sitting there for hours while he just watched us.
"I'm waiting." Ouranos spoke coolly.
It all happened so fast I didn't have time to process but next thing I knew Jason Grace was standing in the middle of the room with my son.
I shot towards him but I was too late, by the time I reached him my son had a sword through his throat.
Jason was now holding my dead son while Ouranos looked on in joy.
"I guess this is what the Olympians have come to now, bye-bye." He said wickedly and then he disappeared the same way he appeared.
I turned toward Jason and gave him a punch that would kill a mortal. He flew back and smashed into a wall, as he fell to the ground there were visible cracks.
I heard Annabeth scream behind me, "Percy, how dare you strike my husband."
I turned to her but before I could do anything she was on the ground and Piper was standing over her.
Piper had tears in her eyes and was crying uncontrollably.
I turned to the Olympian's, "How could you let him do that." I said as I pointed to Jason. "HOW COULD YOU LET HIM KILL MY SON?"
Hera stood, "Silence boy, the loss of his life saved the life of many."
I was so blind with rage that I just couldn't think. "You Olympians will fall and the world will be a better place. I swear it on my life. Feel the wrath of my curse."
I grabbed Piper and teleported to my room; I heard a knock and opened the door. Standing there were Leo and Nico.
Nico spoke up, "Before you do anything stupid, we just want to let you know that we are with you 100% on everything. I can talk to my dad and arrange a rebellion with us and the other mistreated Gods."
I looked him dead in the eye. "I would love that."
