Olympus and Olysia
Disclaimer: I don't own PJO
Apollo POV
When Percy and I assumed our compacted godly heights, I could see our friends going wide eyed. Our kids looked strangely okay with the change of height. While our mortal friend looked close to having mental break downs.
James walked over to the centre of the throne room with a look that changed into a big smile, "You're all god and goddesses?" he asked after he bowed before us. Which is curtsey, but Percy hates when people bow before her. It makes her feel higher than they are.
Father smiled at his gesture. He had always been one for protocol. Sure it was only right they bow before us in respect, but he wants them to grovel at his feet. Well he used to until my lovely wife gave him a real talking to. Which is not fun I might add, how do I know? O well I have had my fair share of scolding. Things got ugly when Hera used it as an opportunity to scold him over cheating on her again and again for thousands of years. She said and I quote "Why can't you be like Apollo? Sure he was man-whore, once he found someone he loved he doesn't even think of cheating" that was the only compliment I have ever gotten from her. She is right about the cheating; I lost attraction to other women when I fell in love with my wife.
"I see you know some common curtsey when I the presence of your betters" Hera said with a wide smile. "But don't be frightened of us. We may be gods, but that does not mean we are hard-fisted we too know some curtsey"
I was honestly surprised by the change in her attitude. I guess I have the kids to thank for that. They may not have been her direct grandchildren at first, but they did when she adopted me as her own.
"Thank you my lady" James said respectfully. "If I may ask who is who starting from the earthen throne and obsidian throne"
Hades smiled. "I will entertain your question mortal" he said to our friends, that's about as nice as he gets. "I am Hades lord of the underworld"
"And I am Thalia goddess of The Earth" she said with a wide smile "And wife of Hermes"
Hermes beamed at her. He was clearly in love, what a change from when he first joined our council"
Dania looked straight at a heavily pregnant Athena wide eyed. "Excuse me Milady, but you would happen to be Athena would you?" she asked and Athena nodded
"Yes child I am Athena Primordial of Wisdom" she said looking at the girl who has captured my son's heart.
"B-but how are you with child?" she fired another question at the goddess.
Athena laughed contently. "I am with child, because I gave up my oath to be maiden" she said. "The father of the child is my husband, so all is right"
"Who is you husband Milady" Dania's mother asked.
"Hydros Primordial of water" Athena said with loving smile.
"Wait until you find out Artemis' husband-"I never got to finish
"Delian!" Percy scolded
"Hey, that hurt" I whined and our friends looked relieved that we didn't change with our heights, so they laughed along with everyone else.
"Daddy, I'm going to tell Aunty Diana you are making fun of Uncle Moros again" Kat said with her tongue stuck out.
"O, please don't" I pleaded. "What do you want?"
"Can you show me how to become like you and mom" she asked with puppy dog eyes that I just cant resist.
"You know there is something called asking someone and it's not called blackmail" Lio said earning a glare from his sister, but he was not scared. After being under the crushing gaze of the mom look, all other looks are child's play "It's called please"
Percy glared at the kids, who were ready to start arguing again. "Now Kat, you are in big trouble young lady. Blackmailing your father is my job." She said. "Now I guess we will have to teach a little on how to assume your godly heights"
Percy stopped for a moment for our kids to prepare themselves for what is to come.
"Right, first close your eyes and let go" she said to them and they did as told. "You might want to look away from them with your eyes closed Dania and this goes for your parents too"
Dania looked like she wanted to protest, "Why?"
"Because, before they can assume their a godly height they must first Assume their immortal form to unlock their powers and that form would incinerate you completely that includes your soul which I still that of mortal" Percy explained to Dania who looked fearful.
The kids had closed their eyes for a few minutes trying to let it all go. Then Lio's form rose into the air and his body exploded into an intensely illuminate light only a primordial could possess. Moments after Lio had assumed his immortal for the Eione and Marino also changed into equally luminous light, while they were in the middle of their changing Kat join her siblings and her light was equally as bright as theirs. Their light show lasted for a few seconds before they returned to normal. Lio who had already undergone the transformation was looking at everything in a new light. He seemed at peace. His body was relaxed and at ease, he wore a bright contagious smile.
"That was amazing" he said. "It was like I made up part of the universe."
His sibling looked dazed.
"Scott, now it's your turn" Percy said "do as they did"
Scott nodded and within seconds his body exploded in a bright flash of light that was sadly not as bright as our kids, but that was to be expected. They are the children of two Primordials the king and queen no less. So the odds were on their side. When Scott stopped glowing he wore the same dazed look as the others.
"Now let yourselves grow to our height" Percy said. "Visualise it in your head first then it will happen"
They all started growing almost immediately after Percy told them how. They all walked over to an empty throne and sat upon it. Scott's eyes widened at the power as the throne turned obsidian black with the waves of time.
Dania and her family had now started looking again and were surprised that Scott's throne was different from our kids' thrones.
Athena rose from her seat and smiled, "All hail Lord Christian Scott Blofis god of time and the ages" she announced as the gold tendrils that bind him to his domains went through him binding him to his domain. "The thirteenth Olympian"
Our mortal friend looked left out. Before my sally got up from her seat and turned into her mortal height. "Dania, do you love my grandson?" Sally asked and her eyes said all she needed to know. Sally looked at Percy and I "Percy, you don't you? Is it why you wanted them here?"
Percy smiled and I had no clue what they were now talking about so I tuned them and started staring at Percy's shimmering ink black hair that was like the waves of the ocean. I could smell the scent of sea salt, which was strangely very appealing to me. I could see he green eyes light up at something that was said to her. Her smile was so warm and inviting that you just want to be around her.
I was brought out of my musing about my lovely wife by someone kissing me sweetly on my cheek. When I looked over I saw Percy laughing at me. "Why are you laughing?" I asked not really sure what just happened.
Percy shook her head. "I said let's transport our friends to our home on Olysia" she said.
"You didn't say that" I said. "I would have heard you"
She just shook her head. "Sometimes I wonder what goes through your head Delian." She said with a smile that is just so infectious that everyone found themselves smiling. "Let's flash out"
"Okay" I said before we all flashed to Olysia. Which was not in America, but spread through every country and Pantheon. All Pantheons were sub servant to our council, but we let them handle their own affairs.
Eione's POV
When did something called flashing to take us home or something like that I was surprised at how vague familiar the whole place was. I think we lived here for a while before going to Manhattan. We were in a what looks like a throne room, but this one was absolutely massive and the power rolling from each of the twenty-two throne that were there was insane, but the throne in the middle radiated power on completely different level to the others. The sheer force of power was making my knee weak.
I saw my parent sitting on the two thrones in the middles as they rose to even greater height. They were 100ft tall and quite frankly terrifying. I cant believe they are my mom and dad.
'My parents are awesome'
I saw Grandpa Poseidon, Grandma Amphitrite, Uncle Tri, Uncle Hermes, Aunt Zoƫ, Aunt Athene and Aunt Hestia all sitting on their respective thrones. They all looked so regal and powerful, but they lack the proud expressions of the Olympians. They looked grounded.
Dania and Her parents were gaping again today.
I saw mom summoning the a beautiful sword that rested on the side of her throne. I saw dad summoning a beautiful golden bow that looked like it could fire arrows hotter than the sun.
Dad rose from his throne and looked at us all. "I call upon the Primordial council" he said.
Nothing happened for a few second before several bright flashes of light illuminated the entire room.
