AN: Sorry for the long time without updates. As I said in The Son of the Earth, I was busy with life. Many projects, homework, vacation, and other activities.
Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN PJO(this will have to do for the whole story...)
The next day, I wake up in my bed and I am surprised to find Anabeth next to me. Without waking her up, I get out of bed and change quickly. My room is clean, or was anyways, before Anabeth came in and put all her stuff on my desk. We were thinking of getting an appartment just for ourselves. Of course, Anabeth made almost three times more than I did. The main reason for that was that she was the head of Special Operations, she gained much more money than a Captain would. Plus being an architect, she basicly worked for me, but I would not let her to be the only one working.
I went to the kitchen and found a plate with pancakes on it. I smiled as I remembered that, when I was young, I used to adore pancakes. It used to be my favorite breakfast meal, and it still is. I was about to take a few, leaving some for Anabeth, when, I hear Annabeth saying:
"Good morning, seaweed brain."
"Good morning, wise girl" I say, using the old nickname.
"So, what's for breakfast today? She asks me.
"Pancakes." I answer.
"Do you have some maple syrup?" She asks, while looking around.
"Nope, I don't, but I see that you do." I replied while I see her picking up the botle.
We eat for a while, but Annabeth has to go to work. Nothing important right now. She says, but I can sense that something will happen. With all the werehouses we raided just yesterday. But in the end, I asked no questions. I went out for a walk, when, I look outside and I see monsters. I quickly recognise them as Dracena and hellhounds roaming o the streets, with nothing to stop them. I finaly realise that the streets are empty. By this time of day, it would have been faster to walk then to go by car, but the streets were empty. The usual noise of cars and horns blazing is gone, and there is no one on the streets either. Not a living soul in the whole city.
I soon find my mistake. A few blocks north, there was a group of kids. The oldest had at least twelve years old. I walk towards them, then they take swords out of their sheaths and stab me in the stomach. The soaring pain I expected didn't come. I looked down to my shirt and I was surprised to see that there was nothing there. Not even a scratch.
"A mortal? How? He was supposed to be asleep." One of the boys said, probably the oldest.
I was totaly confused. He had called me a mortal, isn't he one too? He had a bronze sword, how would he get that and be allowed to walk with it on the streets, and the most confusing is, why did it pass through me as if I was just air? I touched my stomach, just to make sure that I was real, and, as I expected, I could feel my body.
"Who are you?" I asked just befoe they could.
"My name is Micheal. I am a son of Hermes." The oldest one said.
I became even more confused. A son of Hermes. He must be joking, but, everything else just proved what he said. If the greek gods existed, then, so must the Titans and the monsters. All those people and those things have been real? They were all peices of greek mythology. Now that I think of it, I have been a fool not to notice it before.
"All right. I said who I am, now, who are you?" Asked Micheal.
"I am Capt- My name is Perseus Jackson, but my friends call me Percy." I told him.
"What should we do with him?" I heard themelves talk to eachother.
"He... is 21... could... hostile..." I managed to make out of what they were saying. So, they thought hlI was 21 years old. Pretty close considering that I am 22. Also, me be hostile? I am older than all of them by at least ten years. Plus my training in the army. I could take them out easily. But I don't fight kids. I couldn't make out what they were saying after that.
"All right. We descided to bring you to Camp. I feel as if you are special somehow. I am rarely wrong." Micheal said.
They then brought me to a van. The weird thing about it was it's driver. A man with eyes all over his body. They entered first, and I came in last, so I got the back seat. Half an hour later, we reached the camp, which turned out to be a strawberry farm.
I walked closer to it, then I saw some small cabins. They were filled with different colours and different shapes and paterns. I only realised later that they were made to house the children of the gods. Each cabin for each godly parent. I then hit some sort of barrier. I saw them pass through it with no problem, but they just passed through it as if it was nothing. Which it probably was. Then, Micheal, the oldest started saying something. I only cough the words I, Micheal, Permission, and Jackson. Probably giving me permission to enter. When I walked closer, I could see all of the twelve cabins. They were amazing. The one in the far end, the white one was magestic, but I could see that it has not been ocupied by anyone in some time.
When I got closer, I would see glimpses of children, and Teenagers. And when we aived at the large house, I saw my grade six history teacher, . he looked the same, which was surprising for ten years. He was in a wheelchair, as usual, and when he saw us, he said:
"Nice to finaly meet you. You know, ten years ago, when I was your teacher. You remember Grover? Of course you do. He was your best friend. Well, he is a Satyr and he felt something special about you. I came to investigate, even if you are but a mortal, you are clearsighted. That means that you can see througb the mist. What it is will be a lesson for another time. Well... you are special. Your father wasn't killed before you were born, he actually was a greek god. He is actually Apollo. It is a strange thing what happened. You were supposed to become a demigod, but, something happened. I am why. This has never happened before."
"Wait... slow down please. Do you mean dad is a greek god? Why don't I have amazing powers? Please tell me." I begged.
"You didn't let me finish. Because you were not born... how should I put this? Normally, you do have some 'amazing powers', but you do not 'smell' like a demigod and you don't have ADHD or dylexia. Yo-" he continued
"What amazing powers do I have then? I can control the sun?" I interrupted.
"No, seaweed brain, you have the power of foresight." I heard a familliar voice behind me.
"Annabeth? What are you doing here?" I asked, still in shock of seeing my girlfriend here.
"Well, Annabeth has been with us for many years. She is a daughter of Athena. She was assigned to you for a month, but then she fell in love with you, so she remained. She has still been in contact with us and she is funded by Olympus, but mainly Apollo." Informed My old history teacher.
"But, who are you really? I know that your real name is not Mr. Brunner." I asked
"I am Chiron. Trainer of heroes and leader of Camp Half Blood." Chiro said dramaticly as he rose from his wheelchair.
"Wow... nice feet. So all this god thing is real?" I asked.
"Yes, it is. We could keep you here. You could stay as you have no job anymore." He told me.
"Yeah. Come. Stay here for a week at the least. If you want to stay,there is allways a trainer position that would suit you well open. Gun training. They are all filled with Celestial bronze, so they won't harm mortals." Annabeth invited me.
"Wait, so Celestial bronze can't harm me?" I asked again.
"No, you have the advantages of demigods, but you don't have the dangers or disadvantages of demigods. So, all you can do is see through the mist and probably even manipulate it, and have demigod powers. We know that you have the power of foresight, but we do not know how powerfull it is. Though it needs to be activated. I only know two people that may be able to activate your powers and train you. Ananke and Apollo. We will give you to Apollo to activate your powers and to train you to use them."annabeth informed me.
"All right. When do I start?" I asked
"Today" I heard a voice behind me.
"Come on, son." Apollo said, when I turned towards him.
"Right now?" I asked my father.
"Yes, come on, sun, we will start today after we settle you up at Olympus." He told me.
I went towards him, he grabbed my arm and we dissapeared in a flash of light and we reapeered in a room. I guessed it was olympus. He looked at me and then a look of question apeared in his eyes. A few seconds later, his eyes opened quickly as if he remembered something and then he left to go in another room. He came back with a scroll. He opened it and he started saying things in another language that I could not understand. When he finished, I didn't feel any different.
"What did you say?" I asked.
"I activated your powers. They should all be accesible in the following week." He answered me.
"Wait, I have the power of foresight? Does that meen that I would be able to see the future?" I questionned.
"Yes and no. You will be able to 'see'bits and pieces of the future. You will have visions, voices, nightmares, dreams, and rarely, memories comming to you. It is a difficult task to be a oracle." My father explained to me.
"I will be an oracle? What about the other one? The oracle of Delphi?" I asked, intrigued.
"Yes, and with the power of the oracle, I made you special. It will not be the spirit of the oracle in you, it will be you that will live forever. When I activated your powers, I also activated your immortality. You will not be a god, but you will no longer be a normal, well, different mortal. You will be immortal. More powerfull than demigods, but less than gods." The god of the sun told me.
"It will be a large task. Why did you make me so powerfull? There were many others that you could have chosen. Also, you didn't answer my last question."
"Well, I made you powerfull, because, even before you were born, I had a vision and it showed you in battle. You saved the world, son. You are who I will trust with this power. And the oracle of Delphi, it will be alongside you. You are more powerfull than it, and you can see more, but it is allways usefull to have two oracles." He told me. And then my training begun.
AN: So... how was it? It started some things for the next chapters. Please review. If you have any comments about it or any suggestions, please, PM me and I will do my best to change i. Any suggestions are welcome. I am not sure in what direction I should put this story in. Should it follow tbe original? Different gods want to take over? Suggestions are verry welcome.
