Ch 5: Lessons start.

(Percy)

I was brought out of shock when Aphrodite squealed. I saw everyone staring at me and asked them, "What?" But the voice that came out was so smooth and melodious that it surprised me. It took me a while to realize that it was my voice.

I was very conscious about myself when Hermes exclaimed, "Dude, you have wings. That's wicked!" Saying so he summoned a mirror in front of me. I saw a very handsome man staring back at me. It was only then did I feel the weight of something on my back. It wasn't uncomfortable and was very light. I turned around to see that I had sprouted two beautiful white and pink wings from my shoulder blades. I reached around to touch them to see if they were real or not and felt silky smooth to touch. I gasped in shock. I was too absorbed in my reflection to hear Zeus say something but was snapped out of my reverie when he shouted , "All hail, Perseus Jackson."

I was just wondering what Zeus had said when there was a flash and out stepped Hades. He started arguing with Zeus and father when a voice boomed, "Stop your bickering or else…."

I immediately recognized the voice. It was the same voice that had spoken in my dream. I exclaimed, "I know that voice" while Zeus took it as an offence and thundered, "Who dares threaten us?"

"It is I, Chaos, creator of the universe. Hades?"

Everyone gulped as we could feel the power of the voice.

"Yes, my lord?", squeaked Hades.

"You shall not interfere with Percy becoming an Olympian. Am I understood?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Good. Now behave, everyone." Saying so the voice faded.

I was shell shocked to know that I was going to become an Olympian. I was pondering about this in my head when a small quake shook the throne room and out of the ground rose a golden throne with the pattern of waves rose out of the ground directly opposite to Zeus'. I felt myself drawn towards it and went and sat on it without any conscious thought.

"Now we shall discuss about Percy's education." , said Zeus.

"Wow! Wait. What do you mean by education?", I said making a time-out gesture.

"As in how to learn to control your godly powers and how to look after your domains. Now Apollo shall teach you about your godly powers. Anyone has any objections?"

When no one said anything, Zeus continued, "Artemis will help you with tides and hunt while Aphrodite shall do the same with desire. As for time and humility, Athena shall give you any advice you want. For now the meeting has been adjourned. " Saying so Zeus flashed out. Ares and Athena also flashed out but the others stayed behind to congratulate me.

I heard Apollo and Hermes chant that they had me by their side hence they can woo some ladies when they suddenly yelped in pain. I turned towards them to see that each had an arrow sticking out of their backside. I saw Artemis walking towards me, bow in hand and gulped as to what I did wrong this time. She approached me and said, "Your first lesson on the control of your tide and hunt domains will be on the night of the next full moon." Saying so she flashed away.

I went to Apollo who was removing the arrow out of Hermes and asked, "So, when do we start?"

"Today night at 7:00 pm sharp. For now, go sight-seeing." He and Hermes flashed away leaving me alone with none other than Hera.

I turned towards the queen of Olympus and bowed saying, "My lady."

"There is no need to bow Perseus. You are now an Olympian and hence we are equals now."

"I may be an equal in position but in experience you all are my superiors."

"Still humble, I see. Even after becoming a god, you haven't changed much. But beware, if you cause any more trouble in this family, you will have to face me."

"Understood, milady."

She nodded once and flashed away leaving me alone in the humongous throne room. I turned to leave when I saw Hestia looking at me from alongside the hearth. She smiled at me knowingly. I always felt at home when I was around her. She motioned me to sit beside her. I did as she asked and looked at her, curious as to why she was smiling.

"Percy, if anyone deserves this then it's you but know that you can't visit any of your friends or family until you have gained complete control on your forms."

"But I am in perfect control!", but to disapprove with me, my body flickered.

"It is for their safety that I am asking you to do this. Don't try to learn everything from Apollo and be careful of Aphrodite.", she said in a knowing way. I didn't understand what she meant but nodded and left the throne room. As I didn't know how to flash around, I was stuck to walking. Wherever I go the citizen of Olympus(minor gods, nymphs, etc.) would stare at me and then bow down.

As I slowly made my way to Apollo's palace, I wondered how my friends at the camp would react, how mom and Paul would and most of all how Annabeth would react. I thought about what Annabeth would say about all this. She would always have a plan to work out things but I was what she called a Seaweed brain.

I finally reached Apollo's palace to see that he was flirting with a passing nymph. She and friends saw me and blushed a deep red and sighed dreamily. Apollo looked hurt but came over to me and said, "Don't worry, its their first time seeing you. Slowly they will leave you and come back to me."
