(Annabeth)
"Percy Jackson has been made a god." , mother simply stated.
"What?" , I exclaimed.
"You heard me right, dear. Percy was made a god two days ago. He is the god of time, tides, humility, hunt and desire."
"Bu…but..h..how..?" , I stammered.
"He was about to die after Hermes' temple collapsed and the only way to save him was to make him an immortal." , she explained.
"But how did the temple collapse?"
"It was already weak from Kronos' attack and when Poseidon let out a minor earthquake in anger, it collapsed."
"Where is he right now? I want to talk to him."
"He is not allowed to meet any mortal as he has to yet gain control of his powers. I know how you are feeling but what happen was for the best. A powerful demigod like him was a liability to Olympus. Now that he is a god, we have nothing to worry about."
I was shocked that my Percy will never be with me. I had lost him as soon as I got him. Now I felt like I should have confessed my feelings much earlier. But something was very fishy about this whole thing. What was Percy doing in Hermes' temple in the first place?
"What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing, mother. I was just wondering what Percy was doing in the temple in the first place."
"He was told to wait there by Hermes so that he could be presented to the council concerning an important matter." , she answered nervously but she an expression on her face that looked suspiciously like fear. I wondered what she was hiding from me.
"You should not stay in Olympus for much longer. It is not safe for you with a untrained god around. "
"Mother, will you please tell him that I and his mother are very much worried about him?"
"Sure dear but let me tell you something. Now that he is a god, you can't continue your new found relationship. If you, by chance meet him then it would be better for you both if you end it."
"But mother…"
"Please understand, Annabeth. It might work for some time but in the long run it never will. You shall grow old while he shall remain young forever. Think what will happen to him when something happens to you. Do you think he will be able to bear loosing you? It is best if you end it now." , she said soothingly.
"Thank you mother. I will keep it mind" , I said tearily.
As I turned to leave, I felt there was something that Athena was hiding. I will find it out.
As I was leaving the palace, I came upon none other than Percy himself. What I saw shocked me beyond anything. He wore a sleeveless white tunic belted at the waist that fit tightly around his muscular torso and black jeans as dark as his hair. He had wings of the shades of white and pink. Even his eye color had changed from green to gold.
"Percy?"
(Percy)
I had just flashed to Apollo's temple and was trying to find him when someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around to see Apollo smiling at me slyly.
"What?" , I asked.
"Did you enjoy your time with Aphrodite, Percy?" , he asked winking at me.
"I don't know what you are talking about."
I couldn't help but blush. It was true that I didn't like Aphrodite but she was still very beautiful.
"Oh! You know exactly what I am talking about. So how was it?"
"What are you talking about?" , I asked acting dumb.
"The kiss, you idiot."
"Wait! How did you know about that? Were you spying on us?"
"No, I wasn't spying and everyone on Olympus knows that you rejected her. It was cast live on Hephaestus TV. "
"What?"
"Yep, and Ares is pretty mad at you."
"But why was it being cast live?"
"You are the hot topic on Olympus right now and will be for the next few years and everyone knows that Aphrodite has you in her sights hence Hephaestus wanted to catch her with you. And I should say he found it very funny."
"I think I am going to have a talk with him. I can't have my life being made into some sort of entertainment.", saying so I flashed to the entrance of Hephaestus' palace.
If I thought the cabin back at camp had a steam punk theme then that would be nothing compared to the palace I was standing in front of. It had so many machines sticking out of it that it felt like the entire palace was a moving. I knocked at the door and entered to find myself in a huge workshop. Hephaestus was there tinkering with some automaton.
"Hephaestus! Do you think that my life is a TV show?"
"Ah Perseus! Sorry about that. I only wanted to catch my wife cheating on me. I didn't mean any harm to you."
"I don't care. Promise me that you will never do this again."
"Calm down, okay. I promise. Is that alright?"
"On Styx, if you will."
"Humph.. I promise on river Styx that I will never shoot or telecast your life ever again. Satisfied?"
I nodded and left to visit Athena. As I walked into her palace, I saw none other than Annabeth walking out of it. She saw me and her eyes grew as wide as dinner plates as she took in my appearance.
"Percy?" ,she said shocked as she took in my wings and clothes.
I know that the chapter is short one but the next one will be a big and lengthy one.
