Perseus: The Imperfect Perfect Child
Chapter six: Daddy's right/Daddy lied?
Third person pov:
The lightning bolt knocked back Kronos about 10-12 feet and left him a little dazed.
Because of his maybe years of experienced Kronos almost instantly regained composure and blocked the riposte from Zeus.
Perseus was about one hundred twenty feet from the battle but Poseidon was merely 12 feet away. Perseus yelled. "Poseidon! Help your brother!" "I am already on my way!" Poseidon yelled back as he stuck out his Trident catching the pole of Kronos's Scythe in between the tines.
As Poseidon saved Zeus Perseus was within leaping distance so he jumped as hard and fast as he could. Just as he was 15 feet above the ground he tucked and rolled devaporizing Anaklusmos as twin Xipthos. As he landed he used his forward rolling motion to pivot and swing with great strength both swords colliding with the current King of the Titan's chest plate.
The weapons cut right through slicing 5 ribs and causing Kronos to utter a chilling guttural scream of agony.
Perseus instead of killing the Titan allowed the leader of this rebellion to kill the Titan Lord. "Zeus, this was your idea, your siblings, and your endeavor. You get the right to kill the Titan." Zeus looked at him a little shock but quickly nodded and walked up to his father.
Instead of raising his bolt he picked up his father's Scythe. He used it to chop Kronos up into millions of pieces and cast him to tartarus.
One month later: Perseus Pov:
After Zeus dealt with Kronos I continued training Zeus and Poseidon. Poseidon grew to be a brother although none knew of my past just the lie I had told them. I had finally realized that Hera was deeply in love with me however I still was not sure how I felt back.
I never talked about it to anyone and I hadn't contacted Ouranos in a while so for now I just lived on Olympus with Zeus his siblings acting as a Head General.
One year later: Perseus Pov
Over this time not much happened but last night something most certainly did. You see lady Ananke herself gave Zeus a prophecy saying that any more children he has with Metis will overthrow him.
Zeus had just turned Metis into a fly and swallowed her. Most were in an uproar and I was just coming to realize that Kronos was correct.
Also I had began to like Hera back and had begun to see her sometimes as in we'd eat out together although so far we had only kissed although I knew from father (Ouranos) that it wasn't true love... yet.
One month later: 3rd person pov:
Zeus has became jealous. Perseus had far too much power and Hera the one he lusts for is in love with PERSEUS! Not Zeus. This is incredibly insulting as he is king, he gets whoever and whatever he wants when he wants.
So why is Hera not instantly getting rid of that upstart and doing any lustful act Zeus requests of her.
Six months later: The void: 3rd person pov:
"NO! We cannot allow him to be in possession of that weapon. We will weaken it and give him other things in return but I will not allow him to wield that primordial level weapon." A beautiful woman said. Her face was oval and her eyes swirling galaxies that seemed to never end with cheek bones raised up high on her head and a rounded forehead. Her eyebrows arched perfectly with no make up she looked better that Eros's wife Philione the primordial of Lust.
A man we know as Ouranos spoke up with a look of pure anger on his face. "No! I dubbed him worthy of the power. He deserves it he will need it." The woman spoke up again. "I understand but unless he is a primordial sworn to me he will not be allowed to use it." The man seemed to just give up knowing that arguing will be useless as she is one of the most stubborn people in the multiverse. "Okay... I knew I'd never win an argument with you anyways mother, Chaos?" He asked the woman. "Yes son?" "When will we take the titan out of him and take him here?" The woman named Chaos raised her eyebrows. "Well, most likely within the century. Give him time to grow up in the mortal world and the godly world first." The man seemed to brighten up. "Okay, you always have a plan right?" She smiled "Yes, of course."
Olympus one week later: Perseus pov:
I woke up in a completely white space less place seemingly weightless as I appeared to be walking on thin air although I had no idea what was going on. "Hello?" I said and at first no one answered but then three ladies popped up out of nowhere.
"Hello, we are the fates." Before I could reply all of my weaponry just appeared in front of them and I was left with nothing on.
"What are you doing with my stuff!?" I demanded. They merely glanced at me. "We are putting it all to the way it should until you grow. Also we will compensate but this weapon or Anaklusmos as you call it is far to powerful.
I just was frozen in space by a higher power as I was powerless to stop them as they chanted. When they finished I just gained knowledge of what they did and disappeared from the place and went back to my original dream.
Line break: next morning
I woke up and instantly remembered what happened. All of my weaponry was modified. Anaklusmos could only be original form, xipthos/dual xipthos, falcata/dual falcata, scimitar/dual scimitar, long sword/dual long sword. That was the thing weakened but the others were strengthened. Instead of twin hunting knives that can turn into throwing knives I have twin hunting knives and a never ending pocket full of ranged weapons shurikens to throwing knives to throwing spikes. Ripper my scythe/gladius now has soul ripping powers like my birth father's. My shield ricochet could transform from a Spartan, Titanic (the kind it is now), Persian, Kite shield, and Legionnaire shields. Also I got a sword made of pure Stygian Ice. It is the most powerful and strongest/indestructible substance in the known multiverse. It came with a letter.
Hello Perseus, we are The Fates. You see we apologize for the inconvenience but to be honest we don't care this was on order of a higher power. You see your Vambrances and Greaves turn into socks and shoes/and tattoos on your arms respectively. The sword that was too powerful and was the main reason behind this has been altered to the point that you know of, don't you think memory transfers are cool? Anyway It turns into a bronze and gold pen like the blade it won't ever leave you. The sword you got is quite interesting actually. You see it is made from the essence of a titan and a primordial. You will learn of it's powers later as it will grow in power alongside you. It was altered so that it isn't a primordial weapon in a Titan level powered immortal as decreed by prior mentioned higher power. Now listen, it both souls are linked to you. You will slowly gain their blessings. One is powerful and will match your new father's quite nicely. The other won't be that powerful but it will sadly cancel out your time powers completely. This sword as of now is just a normal sword that is made of incredibly strong and sharp metal. This will turn into a ring or a bracelet, ring, or pen... also just to let you know, wow that saying is really IQ lowering... anyways The titan will enhance your strength, proficiency with a spear, and might give you a new power depending on how generous he is feeling. The power from the Primordial you will slowly gain access to over time and will eventually be able to talk to both of them. Now you must reach the level of power Kronos was at to be able to fully access the Titan's powers and you will be able to communicate with him. You must know that to access either of them you must know who they are. We know you'll figure it your vambrances will turn into tattoos now and your greaves will turn into footwear. Your armor will turn into any form of clothing as you already know and your new weapon which is called "Dark Justice" by the way turns into a Stygian glass or Stygian Iron pen, granite ring, or a bracelet made of Stygian Ice. Your bow is the one thing you do not know about that we have changed. It can now shoot Stygian Ice arrows as well and the immediate effects you get from that sword are almost perfect eyesight and slightly I increased reflexes. You must live in the empire known as Persia for a while. Kill beasts and kill evil warlords. Just do what you want for a while then we will call upon you once more. Oooh and one more thing, that sword we know how you like to dual wield well you see you can wield any sword with it as it has perfect balance for you, so you can use anything although you most likely will still use Anaklusmos dual wield still we are just letting you know... another IQ lowering saying. Your spear will still turn into a ring although I don't think you'll need it for much longer. P.S. The sword's name is "Dark Justice", We already know that you will forget that name so we said it twice, you need to focus more Perseus. It's almost like you're a demi-god.
Love, Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos.
"Well that was weird." I thought. "so I gained a lot of potential power, gained an awesome sword, and lost a lot of current power." I though to myself as I mull all of this over. "Also I must go to Persia?" Really?
Perseus had been called to the throne room to discuss some things with the council. As he entered he was soon spoken to by Zeus. "This meeting is of great importance, firstly I wish for Hera to be my wife." He stated bluntly and at that statement Hera instantly grimaced as if horrified at the idea. At this Zeus frowned and his face reddened before he composed himself. "I will be loyal to you and you will be completely loyal to me I swear on the Styx, I invoke my power as king of the gods and take you Hera as my wife." He glanced at Perseus's incredibly angered face. "Also you must sever all ties with Perseus and denounce him saying he is a worthless being." Zeus said while looking smugly at Hera assuming she would instantly do as he commanded and take him as her husband. "NO! No way at all. No way in HADES! I love Perseus not you you disgusting slob." Zeus screamed at her now husband. "NO! This is wrong, this shouldn't happen!" Zeus was furious, then; judging by his expression he came up with an idea. "I know, I invoke martial law as King of the gods. I banish Perseus from ever visiting Olympus again, strip him of his immortality and domains/powers, take his weapons as mine and wipe Hera's memory of any and all love for Perseus." Zeus said with a smug grin.
As he spoke those words he expected Perseus to glow black then crumple into an undignified pile of meat and robe but instead only the part involving Hera and Perseus being banished happened. "Why don't I control your power, domains, and weapons?!" Zeus's face grew red and furious. "WHAT IS WRONG!"
Perseus gazed at Zeus with sadness and Poseidon looked about to fry his brother. Hades, not present at the moment could feel all of the energy from his palace of the Underworld. Perseus spoke finally. "Well, I had hoped that he was incorrect and that my teachings would save you but sadly no... although I do have an answer to your questions." Perseus seemed to smile a bit. "You see, I am far out of your reach. I was trained by beings above you and have power exceeding you. I also can not give you my weapons as decreed by a "Higher Power". So yeah I hope that answers your question." Zeus seemed even more enraged at this, if possible. "Anyways, in hopes to calm you down and maybe pale your face a bit as you look more red than the blood spilled from that woman when you bedded that mortal woman, yeah explaining about her last week may be a bit hard for you and I feel for you especially since your now married to Hera... yeah, have fun explaining that to your "wife" when she wakes up, you did succeed in banishing me from Olympus, oh and by the way. I got even more powerful you weak pile of minotaur shit." And with that he vapor traveled to Persia, just outside of the Greek gods/Olympian's reach.
Perseus Pov: AN: Okay first of all I can't get out of italics for some reason so I apologize for that I'll just try to fix it for the next chapter. Also I need to know. Do you want Percy to get nerfed, or get more powerful over time. I am definitely taking away his time powers and I'll add a little twist along with that. I'll probably add two new powers but at that point he'll have control over liquid, weather, Shadow Lightning, _, and, _. I'm not going to just spoil it now... duh. Also I want to know this, Lemons or nah? And finally I need names for his unnamed weapons. Also guys come on I need more reviews. I can't make the story better with no criticism or tips. _Anyone who can guess what I'll do with the romance part of the story, like harem then I'll let you add or take away one thing from the story but It'll have to get passed by me of course. NOW REVIEW! Like damn...
Apparently Athena had gotten her pride greatly wounded by the fact that I was more powerful than her father Zeus. The All Mighty God of Thunder, Lightning, justice, and theatre. You see her main pride comes from her intelligence and the fact that her father is the king of Olympus and believed to be the most powerful of the brothers even though it is quite obvious that Poseidon is the most powerful. The fact that I had called her "All powerful father, Lord Zeus the mighty" a 'weak pile of Minotaur shit' and was not destroyed after saying so was a great wound to her and her father's pride. Also considering that she hated me and that I was always more intelligent and always had better plans than her put me no higher on her top 10 most awesome people list.
So as I wander the deserts of the Persian Empire I stop walking sit down cross legged and just stare blankly forward and think. I was the only god/immortal that technically has no domains and also the only one that is always in their true/divine form but doesn't vaporize people when they lay eyes upon it. I also had received an amazing weapon that apparently has two entities in it, one Titan and one Primordial. I meditated on the weapon for about 30 minutes after drawing it from my pocket and clicking the object. Although I still wonder how it will do in the mortal world considering these won't be invented for millennia. As I did it transformed into a mortal writing utensil then on my mental command it turned back into a pen. Hmmm, that's helpful. But back to the meditating... (Wow I really got to get my whole staying on track thing together... sorry for the inconvenience, but I have Taekwondo in fifteen minutes... then I got an MMA match at my class tomorrow so actually don't expect a chapter till like Saturday EST or so, sorry I just realized that, shit) I meditated on the two power signatures I could feel coming from the sword.
I singled out the weaker power signature assuming that it must be the Titan as the other is a Primordial.
I focused on it and I seemed to enter a different realm or something. I appeared out of no where in a bright all white nothingness. Then I saw a swirling vortex of shadows ahead of me. I walked forward towards it and right before I could touch it I went back into my meditative state.
After thinking about it and using my entire pool of energy to try to discover the Titan trapped in my new Stygian Ice weapon.
I remember that the Fates had mentioned that I would get better with a spear, well Titans that used spears with great skill were Atlas, Koios, Krios, Hyperion, and Iapetus. The aura signifies a darker power source so this would limit it to Atlas, Krios, and Iapetus. Now, I know it's not Atlas due to his punishment of holding the sky at bay from crashing against the Earth or Ouranos coming down from the heavens to finally be with his wife again although really he wants nothing to do with her as of this moment but that's a story for different time.
So this limits it to Krios and Iapetus.
Olympus: 3rd person pov:
Zeus was Bullshit. He was beyond angry that he didn't take Perseus's power, he is pissed beyond belief that only Athena sided with him. He is pissed that he can't have sex with mortals or any other gods because of his new wife Hera. However he did not care. He would simply block her from knowing by using a portion of his power. However because of this he wouldn't be able to stop them from getting pregnant and so therefore he just had to hope. He was currently searching an area where Poseidon had reported feeling a god leave his domain and he hadn't ever felt it before.
One hour later: Zeus Pov
Zeus found a woman of beauty that surpassed all other women he had ever seen. He walked up to her from behind her. "Hello, who are you fair goddess?"
Aphrodite had just left the Sea. Her mother Thalassa had told her that she was not to ever have sex with Zeus. She had said 'Never ever, EVER, fuck that stupid useless piece of shit. You are going to fuck lots of men and we both know that because of your domains of Love, sex, and fertility. But, you must know this all other men are fair game although Zeus is off the list. If you ever fuck him EVER I will kill any resulting children and strip you of your feelings of pleasure. DO YOU UNDERSTAND!?' Aphrodite still remembered it and had been searching for Olympus as she knew that because of her parentage she should probably get onto the Olympian council and also the fact that she is not a Minor god would make it impossible for them to banish her from Olympus.
Just before she could flash to the mountain that she had been taking an hour to find with her senses she was grabbed from behind and heard a gruff and very unattractive voice even though it seemed to hold fathoms of pride and power say this sentence and once she heard it she knew it was the man whore Zeus.
"Hello, who are you fair goddess?"
Right as he had said it Zeus squeezed the woman's ass and was reaching around to fondle her breasts when he got elbowed in the chin and kicked in the balls.
The woman turned around to face him and she had a face of disgust. "NO! I will not be your whore you useless piece of shit. I would never, ever, EVER allow you to have sex with me." After a few seconds she seemed to calm down. "I'm sorry Lord Zeus, I was overreacting it's just that I was thinking of something that angered me and when you did that it set me off." 'It wasn't a total lie, but ugh yeah it was a total lie but whatever.' Aphrodite thought to herself.
AN: By the way the poll just closed down as I had just gotten the selections in. It was Aphrodite in the lead with 4 votes over Athena who had 2. I don't have much of a following and I want to start the pairing soon so I just stopped it here and Aphrodite is perfect as I never really see many and also if we do end up doing lemons they can be great and I can use my vast knowledge of being in college for six years to make them as detailed as possible. P.S. If you are still a virgin after six years of college either you got a college with some ugly ass bitches or you got a college with a lot of really attractive boys and your average. Although usually girls like to toy around with nerds and such for fun sooo... yeah sorry if your under the age of fourteen forget what I just said. It's just facts and if you have been to college you know what I'm talking about.
Zeus thought that meant she would fuck him now so he began to shed his Chiton when she said words that he would wish that he had never heard for millennia to come. "No, it's not and invitation for sex it's simply an apology for injuring the king of the gods as I am a daughter of Ouranos and Thalassa and what her domains are which just made him lust after her more.
Zeus allowed her onto the council as a hope that he would be able to seduce her over the years.
Persian desert: Perseus Pov:
'It had been one week before I regained all of my vast pools of energy and began using my knowledge I have acquired over the 7 or so centuries I have been alive.'
'Now it could be Krios although he usually fought with a sword although he was the greatest spear/javelin thrower on Orthrys. '
'Iapetus was the greatest spear wielder on Orthrys and was trained shortly like six months shortly by the greatest spear wielder in the universe bar Chaos herself. I was certain that it was Iapetus and although I knew that something should happen I didn't know why it didn't.'
'I am certain it's Iapetus but then again why would he want to help me? He had always ignored me on Orthrys. I mean gained a sort of warrior bond with him on the battlefield as he fought powerfully on the battle field and never used his full power. When we fought in Thessaly I had realized that he had not full control over his body and was afflicted by Kronos just like in the final battle he didn't really want to fight his brother's children and he most certainly didn't want to kill Hestia as I had noticed a little spark there but it was probably just lust by both of them though? I'll have to talk to her about that later as I know that Zeus will take her of the council as out of fear of her power.'
'So I just simply thought of why it would be Iapetus and not Krios.'
'I mean Krios has a dark aura although it's not always dark as in during the night time it's very light in fact and during the day it's more faint but most certainly darker of an aura. I know that Iapetus was not evil but cast a dark aura because of his domain which is sort of similar to Krios as he is not typically an evil Titan just very devote to his brother Kronos.'
'Also they mentioned abilities. The only ability that Krios has is to always know of his location and he can use the energy from stars but that is used very little as he can destroy stars when he does that and one time he almost destroyed the star Beetlejuice which is a very large star and is only 430 light-years away.'
'I don't think that this 'higher power' would not let me have an overpowered sword but let me be able to absorb enough power to destroy this solar system so Krios's out of the picture.'
'Therefore it's Iapetus.'
I wanted to test out my spear abilities to see if maybe I had activated the power from this sword, "Dark Justice" is the name if I remember correctly.
I tapped my spear ring and it popped out. Once it did though my sword "Dark Justice" hovered off the ground.
I stared in wonder and shock as my spear formed with my sword.
They came together "Dark Justice was now a spear.
It was the most beautiful spear I have ever seen.
It was mainly Stygian Ice although there were celestial bronze and imperial gold flowing up it like a candy cane.
'What the fuck? Did I just lose my sword or just WHAT?!' I though as I looked at my spear that was now in my left hand.
It was perfectly balanced. The tip was even sharper than "Dark Justice's" edge.
I though about it for a minute before I got an idea. 'How about I try to will it to become a sword.' I can't believe that with intelligence over 10x that of Athena it still took me that long to realize what to do. I though about "Dark Justice's" Sword form and it turned right into the beloved sword I know and love. I drew Riptide and it felt perfectly balanced with "Dark Justice" The Fates didn't lie.
I willed it into it spear form again and it changed for me. I held the spear in front of me and realized that the fates had said that I must be at Kronos's power level. Now I can beat him in a fight but he was still more powerful than I. It's like a power lifter can is more powerful that a pro UFC fighter but if they fought the UFC fighter would knock the power lifter on his ass with a well placed right hook or a good spinning back kick.
So I had to gain power eh? Okay so I have to I improve on my powers. I can't contact my father as he is with the Primordials as of now in the void. So I had to train my weather powers by myself.
Twenty Years later: Persian desert, Present day Iraq, ancient Mesopotamia: 3rd Person Pov:
I had trained for the past twenty years. I focused on my wind and water powers as lightning was at max. Shadow lightning only increases when everything else does as well. Regular lightning goes with weather. I was now able to summon Hurricanes using purely weather powers and be able to use my water powers to form Ice balls and ice spike and allow them to get whipped around in the hurricane. I can summon lightning without a storm just as well as an incredibly powerful child of Zeus. I can use more lightning is basically what I'm saying. I can channel wind better and of course I can make much more and much more powerful storms and weather.
I had discovered that I'm technically 50% primordial and 50% Titan although when I meditated on it and came to the basin inside myself I am not.
FLASHBACK: Perseus Pov: AN: You see, this and the next chapter will both be filler chapters. I need to finish off the prologue then I'll get into more action and have a bunch of battles and a war most likely. Then I might do the Giant War to end it all off but after that I'll most likely do a huge time skip to present day or so.
I had been meditating and trying to get a good visual on my powers and how far each one is when something insane happens. I am looking inside myself sort of but not like those monks and shit it's more like actually peering into your soul and aura.
I saw a random pair of Stygian Ice doors and just stood there for a minute. This had never happened before. So, I did the only reasonable thin and opened them. What I saw next was just straight up shocking. I saw a bunch of cylinders. One was full of shadows and completely dark with a spear and flexed arm insignia on the side. The next was full of Earth and had a picture of an Earthquake on the front. 'So the primordial is Gaea huh? Okay, that's helpful.' The next was full of storms. There were mild rain storms. There was a separate cylinder on the top that was sunny and it had different forms of beautiful days in it and the other was hail, snow, pouring rain, tornadoes, hurricanes, thunder storms, etc... So that was my weather powers, awesome. Then next to that was a sphere with shadow lightning bouncing around at all times. It was a sphere the same size as the smallest of my unlocked powers.
You see each of those cylinders ='s a different power/domain whatever and the size of each cylinder shows you how powerful each one is. Now you see Shadow Lightning is as powerful as you are in total. It can be controlled of course but however much I can use my power that I can use the most that's how much shadow lightning I can use. How much power I can put into it depends on how much power can I put into whatever powers I can put the most power into. It's like a secret weapon although if I use it too much it drains my life force. (Think of Revenge of the Sith and what happened to that emperor guy except it didn't happen 'till much later so he can use it much more than just like 20 seconds like from that movie) Or I can use it and once it depletes my energy I can just go unconscious for about five days and when I awaken I'm okay. But usually when I run out of energy it would be because I am trapped with no weapon and I can't use my other powers.
Anyways from that same place that I had found my power with each power I had also realized that genetically I am half primordial and half Titan because Ouranos adopted me but I can't be until I gain the powers of a primordial for each power/domain. Then I will be a Primordial Titan I guess.
Anyways I was almost up to par with Kronos at the moment and my time powers had completely disappeared and once I ate this ambrosia I would be at full power then I will be able to access Iapetus and his powers.
Perseus Pov:
I held "Dark Justice" in front of me and began to chant in the language of the Titans. The spear began to glow and then I said in I release you of your dumbness. (Dumb means mute, mute means you can't talk)
I then hears a deep resonating voice in my head. "AHA! Finally I can talk to you. Now listen my boy and don't talk yet. I give you my full blessing and release you of Kronos's curse." Atlas said to me. 'What the fuck is he talking about. What curse.' Right as I said that I began to glow bright golden and then it dulled and I glowed black for a minute before the gold in my eyes was replaced with the darkest obsidian color you could think of. "You see, Kronos wanted the perfect soldier. Now he had the most power but he didn't have the biggest power pool if you know what I mean. Like he had the smallest store of power but he had the most power. Basically his power was like a level 10. Do you follow?" He asked. 'I really am super confused what the hell is going on' I thought to myself. But I said "Yeah, yeah, carry on. "Okay so Kronos's domains made him incredibly powerful even though he had the smallest pool for said power. I however (Iapetus) (By the way; major plot twist, don't kill me?) had the greatest pool of power. I had a ton of it but weaker domains than my brothers so I got a power of like level 7.5 if we are still using this analogy. So Kronos wanted you to have an insane pool of power like me but have very, very powerful powers therefore making you unstoppable." 'Holy shit! Kronos isn't my dad. And... wait... what the f*ck is Iapetus my dad?!' "Okay, I'm following." I said out loud.
"Okay good, so basically he had me mate with that daughter of Atlas to give you inhumane strength which I see it has considering you do 10,000 push ups with three hundred fifty pounds on your back. Back on track here, you are really my son Perseus." He seemed to let that sink in for a minute. Although I already had assumed this Iapetus actually saying it. "WAIT WHAT!" I screamed. Iapetus allowed me to yell about him yelling until I had calmed down to the point I wasn't screaming at him about being a lying piece of shit before accepting it and calling him a deadbeat dad for not taking off the curse of Kronos and also for not being around me all the time at Orthrys and about not blessing me earlier, and about siding with Kronos in the war, and finally about not telling me.
"Perseus you're a smart boy I know you already can guess or know half of those things." 'Okay in truth I do, I know that he isn't lying, also I know that the curse Kronos put on was to keep my loyal to him and to not allow me to know who my father is as of the fact that if anyone would side with the gods it would be Iapetus. Even though he was the darkest and most violent of the five older brothers he was also the most family oriented. He wanted to support the gods as he knew their cause was right but he stuck with his family. Although really the main reason was because he wouldn't kill his children no matter what, and also he would not fight his brothers. Although he defended Atlas he would never kill one of his brother's children but warriors equal fair game. I also knew that he couldn't be around all the time due to Kronos, and I also knew that he couldn't tell me all about it because of Kronos as well. Oh, that backstabbing son of a bitch.
I finally spoke out loud again. "Okay, you're right, Dad." When I called him dad he seemed to smile so wide it was threatening to rip his face in two even though I can't see him I can sense him and sort of see his face in my head but not really. 'This will take some getting used to.'
"Well anyways what does your full blessing give." I asked my new found father although I still considered Ouranos my father a lot more than I do Iapetus.
"Well, you will be an expert with that spear, you will have twice the control over shadows than that Hades fella s it isn't his domain just a side thing he gets from said domain. Ooh, and also you can shadow travel and condense shadows into weapons although that's really energy depriving. Finally you will also gain a little more strength."
I was a little surprised at that. That was a supreme understatement. 'If that was minuscule compared to the Primordial's power who I now know as Gaia, then I think I will be extremely powerful.
"So, I was wondering what do I have to do to unlock Gaia and her weapon? Also before you respond I got to let you know that I do not see you as a full blown dad as my father is Ouranos now and you will be like a really close uncle now okay?"
"Okay I understand completely. Also you won't need to train on my powers because of the fact that I am your father and they have been trying to break through the barrier set by my gay ass fucking brother a long time ago." I laughed a little at that one. "Yes Perseus even ancient Titans cuss too okay? Now to answer your first question to unlock Gaia's weapon you must scale the highest mountain, simple as that. And, it's not Olympus as you think I asked her when I was asleep with her in the weapon how. Also to unlock her blessings and to talk to her you must simply gain power so that the Primordial energy doesn't destroy you."
"Okay well what is the level of energy I need." I asked my new found birth father.
"Well you must have power that rivals a primordial. The weakest being Erebus, however that is all pool energy if you understand what I mean. Now how powerful it's more the store of energy and how much you can do with it. So basically you need to be able to have 1.3 times the energy pool that you have now. That will make you equal with Erebus and then you will talk to her and negotiate what powers you will get. You will still be less powerful than Erebus because of his regeneration powers and his ability to turn into a million shadows but that's for a different conversation. You see you will eventually have to train with all of the Primordials to meet their "Primordial standards" then Chaos will name you a half-primordial and your powers will be named your domains. However it will be different. You will be a different kind of deity. I do not know any more because mother never told be the rest as she said it is not for you to know young Perseus. Also try to think of me as your grandfather figure/mentor for now.
six years later: 3rd person pov:
Perseus had been training with his spear and finding new things a bout it. Apparently because he now has Iapetus unlocked the weapon itself has changed. Now instead of turning into all of those things it just either turns into a watch on his left or right wrist or it can make a sheath. Currently Perseus is a walking arsenal. He has "Dark Justice in his right hand in spear form. And his left hand is in his armor's built in bottomless pocket with his hand wrapped around Anaklusmos in pen form. His Hunting knives are his dual ringed ring on his right hand. His throwing spikes, throwing knives and Shurikens are all slung over his left shoulder as they are really just a little bag with a foam in them with them all stuck into the foam and once he throws one another takes it's place in the foam 'till he uses all one hundred of each kind then they begin to refill. He can't use them until he waits thirty minutes so it is not like an all powerful tool. He has his Trusty shield on his left wrist as a bracelet that 's over his gauntlets that cover his forearms. Also just to make matters even worse for any and all opponents he has a ring /drachma that can turn either into a Gladius or a beautiful Scythe made of Imperial Gold, mortal Gold, and Orthrytic Granite.
He drew his right arm back balancing his spear perfectly like he has been doing it for millennium which is a few hundred years longer than he has but he might as well have because of his skill, while he pulled his left arm out of his poked and went to slap his bracelet against his chest to summon his shield but before it reached his chest he took three steps forward and launched his spear over his head striking a Maeonian draken right tin the skull effectively vaporizing it.
That was his last test from his mentor/grandfather Iapetus. Although before he could ask his Grandfather what is next for him a small group of monsters burst from the surrounding woods.
Perseus had recently moved a bit over to Asia so that he doesn't have to spend years to make it to the Himalayan mountains.
Once he saw the first monster emerge from the bamboo forests he noticed that the small army was mainly made up of Laistrygonians and Scythian-Dracaena. He quickly leapt up about fifteen feet then called upon the wind to launch him another 30 feet or so. Once he was 45 feet he did a quick backflip and as he did he pulled his necklace forming his beautiful Imperial gold and Olympian silver bow, drew the string back and five Stygian Ice arrows formed. he fired all five and repeated the process five times 'till all of the Scythian Dracaena had died. Once they were dead he hit the ground hard summoning his shadow lightning abilities he laid waste to the other monsters.
Right as he went to turn around and continue his walk to the Himalayas and talk to his mentor he heard a cracked branch and a roar. Perseus instantly brought his right hand to his throwing weapons pouch. He drew three throwing spikes and spun gaining insane amounts of momentum and right as he launched the spikes he realized it was the Nemean Lion so he threw them at both eyes and the slightly open mouth. He spun one more time after releasing sending a hurricane force wind behind each spike and only behind the spike nowhere else accelerating each spike beyond Mach two ad sending them deep inside the Lion before it turned to dust leaving it's invulnerable pelt.
The son of Ouranos pondered what to do with the golden pelt as he stared at it bent over feeling the fur. He eventually decided to change it's appearance to an incredibly thin fabric called linen and laid it on himself under his armor so that he would never get injured by a stray arrow, spear or dagger etc. that found a chink in his armor.
Right as he was about to leave again an arrow collided with the tree mere centimeters from his face. Of course he knew that the arrow was coming the moment the string was drew back. So he altered the air pressure to cause a sudden gust to knock the arrow a few inches off course and subtracted a little force by blowing a hard wind in the direction of the arrow.
He then sprinted the next 20 feet towards the nearest tree in about .6 seconds and sprinted about thirty six feet up the tree before kicking off and flipping back dodging about 86 arrows that attempted to catch him as he rolled and spun in different directions mid-air. When he hit the ground he pulled his right arm back drawing a shuriken on each of his five fingers and whipped all of them slicing all of the strings on five of the offending shooters. He followed up by spinning and bringing his legs in to drop to the ground spinning on the balls of his feet as he willed "Ricochet" And "Dark Justice" With Dark Justice in spear form. He jabbed so quickly with the spear that he sliced each arrow down the middle with his leaf shaped tip on his spear before spinning it making the Dory slam directly into a thrown knife effectively snapping it in two before raising his shield to block a blast of silver godly energy. Said goddess was shocked that this mortal had blocked and dodged all of her arrows and all of her handmaiden's arrows as well then completely repelling her blast of pure energy.
The half Primordial then willed his shield closed and back into bracelet form before tapping the second bar on his left handed ring summoning his scythe. He used the blade to slice/catch all of the arrows shot at him for the next five arrows before realizing that his opponents won' run out of arrows so he hurled the scythe end over end and the butt of the weapon hit the goddesses' temple knocking her unconscious. He then dispatched of the handmaidens with impeccable ease wiling the dory on his spear to go flat as he knocked out all of said handmaidens.
He then walked over to the defeated and unconscious Goddess and said three words, UGH! Fuck, me. (Not like have sex with me no more like fuck you but fuck me... confused yet?/\/\ \/\/ /\ /\ \/ /\\/\/\/\/\/\\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ MMMWWW still not confused?)
The next morning 3rd Person POV:
Artemis awoke to a very well built man standing about six foot eight inches tall. (He grew when he gained Iapetus's blessing since he could be a full Titan now hence he could grow to eighteen feet now whenever he chose to) He had weird eyes they seemed to not be able to choose what color they are. the part that is usually all white is Sea Green like a son of Poseidon but the irises are stormy grey and electric blue they seem to swirl the pupil that should be just black is a twinkling darkest of dark onyx black with the occasional twinkle though. His armor clung to his body like a glove showing every muscle, all ten abs, the huge chest, the arms that look like they could one handed pull him up a branch and launch him to the top of a mile high mountain while also looking like he could swing tree to tree like a monkey. Very athletic body although each muscle is clearly stronger than anything else she had ever seen. It was clearly obvious how athletic this being was and how he had avoided all of her hunt's arrows along with hers with such skill and grace.
Then she realized she staring.
She blushed really deep before actually realizing who it was that was hovering over her. "You monster get away from me!" She screamed at Perseus before attempting to slap him across the face. Keyword there "ATTE/\/\PTED". Right as her hand began to travel through the air said hand was knocked away with a single finger from Perseus as he held both arms down so that she couldn't do anything. He then tied each limb to the bed so that she wouldn't injure him as he explained things and asked her questions. He had no sexual intentions, though the female in front of the Hybrid immortal was a very attractive girl.
"Well my name is Perseus, now the real question is who are you, why are you here, who are those little girl scouts following you around and finally what bullshit lies did daddy tell you about me?" Perseus said to the girl.
"Well my name is Artemis, I was sent to hunt you down and kill you for your disgusting crimes! Also they are HUNTERS NOT Girl scouts. Also my father told me no lies about you! You are a disgusting pig and should be skewered, burnt, and eaten by monsters.
Perseus just smirked at her. "Wow I must have really pissed the old retard in the sky off eh little guy? Still cant blast a mountain apart can you though little buddy?" Perseus said and the sky thundered with such ferocity that Artemis expected the useless piece of shit to faint but he merely laughed at it. 'HE LAUGHED AT ZEUS! How can you laugh at the most powerful being in the Universe.'
Perseus could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her. "First of all Zeus is pathetic, also I trained him, and also he is SOOOOOOOOO... far from being anywhere near the most powerful being in the Universe, even the world. He's after all the Primordials, Chaos, the first Titans, and me."
Artemis stared at the man next to her. "HA! You think those pathetic Primordials stronger that father! That's hilarious and the Titans are but mere play things compared to him." Artemis said to Perseus and could barely keep the smirk off her face.
So Perseus decided to tell her his full story. After swearing to the Styx, and Chaos not to tell anyone.
Thirty Six Hours Later: 3rd Person Pov
"...and that's what happened now I'll do a memory transfer so you can get the details, memory transfers with that much info can really weaken the user for a while if they don't already know it if you don't know that yet." The goddess Artemis as Perseus had newly learned her name just stood there dumbstruck as everything her father had told her was unraveled in mere hours by a single, incredibly hot, sexy, powerful, influential, special, one of a kind, but still single man.
Perseus Pov: 15 minutes later:
After Artemis left without a word after learning of the truth while being under oath so she can't tell anyone I went back to what I had been doing before. I willed my watch to turn into it's spear form and went to talk to Iapetus. "So, Grandpa what do I do now?" I asked my mentor/Grandpa.
"Well now you have to get to the top of Everest then you can talk to Gaia and she'll decide with you what powers you get."
Five Years Later: Mt. Everest: Perseus Pov:
"Wow, that's all I can say right now. I got delayed so many times to the fact that I was fighting monsters from Crete and I was in CHINA! I mean really does Zeus really hate me that much. Apparently the Olympians are FAR more worshipped than all the other deities so therefore they have no space that is not their rule now, on this Earth at least. They are the most powerful wherever Western Civilization is it appears at least that's it so far as they have stayed in Greece and are weaker whenever they try to venture out of it.'
So I had finally reached the peak. Peachy, just peachy. So I took out "Dark Justice" and concentrated on the Powerful Earthy aura. (Again, "Earthy" is that a word?) After a few seconds the sword as it was turned into a huge axe. It had a strong war axe on one half of the head and on the other side a single hammer. One end of the poll has both of these. Like axe and instead of just having the handle for the rest it has a flat hammer like thing behind the axe blade. It seems to be able to shrink too. The handle is made of Gaian Granite mixed with Stygian Ice and the Axe blade is Stygian Ice mixed with Gaian Granite. Mostly Gaian Granite. The hammer head is Gaian Granite mixed with Stygian Ice as well. The same consistency the entire way through. 70% Gaian Granite.
When it hits stuff the weight of it is multiplied up to five times depending on what I want. It can way from 50% normal weight (150 pounds normal) up to five times that which would be 750 pounds. So this is like my heave hitter. It's going to be what I use on huge opponents and the smaller form is just an axe that weight about 30 pounds and is like 2 feet long.
Right before I turned it back into a sword to find a place to train with this new weapon and find what I must do to gain access to speaking to the Primordial of Earth, First Daughter to Chaos, and my Grandmother/mother? I don't know. Anyways I hear her in my head. It's a voice that's as soothing as a hot spring but I can tell that it can sound like an avalanche too. "Hello young deity, you have grown very powerful and I am not going to beat around the bush with you. I gift you with my battlefield abilities with that weapon. Once we are done here I will leave this weapon you have named "Dark Justice". Before you ask what I mean I'll explain it to you. I can only be present in the void currently. So once I am done here I will always have to have essence in this weapon and therefore with you as it's attached to you but listen. Primordials all have two sides. Ouranos got rid of one and only has one now, same with Aether and Hemera. You see Ouranos and Aether, and Hemera all destroyed their evil aspects as with Ouranos he hated it and with Aether and Hemera's case they just hate evil and barely had any in them. Now with me I am equal 50/50. Unfortunately I was raped by Tartarus while banished to the Void. You see this then brings my evil side more to like 65% of me and rising. So if you haven't guessed yet all Primordials bar Chaos have an evil and good aspect so to speak. Although some have destroyed one side. The children I spawned with Tartarus are completely evil as Tartarus is about 99% evil naturally. So we must do this quickly before my evil aspect takes over more. I think you will have to fight that aspect although I will fight it to delay as long as possible. Now I will tell you what I think."
Before I could respond I heard Gaia again. "Okay you are for sure getting full control over Earthquakes. That's about five times Poseidon's control over them. I'll give you full control over ground or better known as Geokenesis. You have full control over ground, dirt, rock etc. You can stop there or you can also gain the ability to turn yourself into rock however you would have to sacrifice two powers you already possess.
I decided to just stay where I was and let Gaia give me these things so far and think about what she had said earlier later. "Yes Lord Gaia. I accept your gracious gifts." I said with as much respect possible.
"Okay prepare yourself." Was all she (Gaia) said before beginning to chant in an ancient language. I felt the power course through my veins and I could see every plate in the Earth and everything. It all happened naturally but I noticed that I could change it. Like I could make a new trench open under water etc... Then before I could close my weapon away into watch form and go train 'till I meet the Primordial regulations when she spoke in my mind one more time.
"I am doing a large memory transfer to allow you to know all about the whole entire aspect good/evil thing and so that you get what I'm doing. You see I'm leaving my good aspect with you in this weapon so that I cannot have my entire body be taken over by the evil side because if that happened I would destroy everything on the planet." So brace yourself.
Ten years later: Perseus pov:
I am now a master with all of my weapons and had combined Anaklusmos with "Dark Justice" by using an ancient Protgenus ritual. I had formed the two together so that I had the ability to turn "Dark Justice" into dual wield in all three forms. While now Anaklusmos was simply either it's regular Celestial Bronze and mortal Gold Xipthos form or it's in a dual Scimitar form. I had learnt that I was actually better with a single sword than with two when I use "Dark Justice" After all my training having an extra hand was really helpful and I didn't need two swords to defend from arrows and it also allowed more movement with only one sword. However when I ran into hordes of monsters you'd often see me dual wielding hunting knives or my Scimitars.
I had finally met the regulations set by Chaos and the original three siblings from said creator, Chaos. Ouranos, Tartarus, and Gaia. In that order. (That's not how the myths have it but too fucking bad this is an AU, and it's fucking Fan fiction, I do what the fuck I want with the damn myths #rantmuch)
I sent a prayer to father asking him to teleport me tot he void so I can get my place and job from Chaos.
The Void: 3rd Person Pov:
"Chaos what will we appoint him?" Ouranos asked Chaos s Tartarus and Gaia cannot decide as they have both gone far to far to the dark side. (HaHaHaHaHaHaHa, get it dark side like you know Yoda and shit... oh, um so I'm the only one who found that funny, ohhh... awkward)
"Well Ouranos, your adopted son will not be a full Primordial. Neither will he be a Titan. He will have the power of a Primordial but he can follow the rules of the Titans as they have no ancient laws that apply to them. So he will be of great assistance later on."
Ouranos seemed to smile at this before breaking out into an all out grin. "Yes we'll have the best of the best train him."
"I think I sense him now, let's teleport him here now so we may discuss this with him too, so lets get him here eh?" Chaos said.
Perseus got teleported right into the middle of the room and Chaos along with his father explained everything all about how he will be trained and such, and how long it will take. Because of his experience with his powers they will just increase his power and his pool of power to that of a Primordial.
After chaos and Ouranos finished chanting Perseus glowed a dark grey and electric blue aura before it disappeared replaced by wild shadow lightning and a dark Earth brown aura with cracks all over it. The that too disappeared replaced by a deep onyx black aura with occasional sparkles.
"All hail Perseus PrimalTitan of Weather, Shadow Lightning, Earthly materials, Earthquakes, Liquids, and shadows." As Chaos finished I glowed a bright white light before it dimmed.
Chaos spoke once more. "Listen Perseus, you are not a Primordial being, you are more of a protector to Earth sort of. Basically we are giving you what was your birthright technically and also you must understand this. No Ancient laws effect you. You are a PrimalTitan, the first ever. You are not the embodiment of any of those domains you have. You are also not limitless like many of us Primordials. Such as Ouranos can use Lightning for eternity. He IS Lightning. He IS air. Just plain and simple. You on the other hand will have to rely more on your fighting abilities because if you were to ever fight a Primordial which I am sure you eventually will. You would lose. You would have to win with battle skills. You couldn't dodge Aether's light blasts forever, same with Nyx, Erebus etc... You must understand that for you to be able to win you would need your powers as backup and assistance. They are only a first primary weapon in huge battles or with beings with similar limitations to you."
"Okay I understand Milord." Perseus said after the explanations.
Chaos Spoke again. "You see Perseus the next millennia will be a living Tartarus for you. You will start your training with your current best weapon, your spear. You will train with the greatest spear master in the Universe. Tartarus. Now before you say he's evil, he is evil but you must understand he holds nothing against you for now just don't tell him about how you most likely will be the one that stops him, his wife, and their children." Chaos explained looking straight into Perseus's eyes.
"Yes, Yes Milord, I understand this and I will train my hardest. Will you teleport me there and will you explain it to Tartarus for me please?" Perseus said as he began to glow black.
"Yes, of course." Already done, for you Perseus now go."
And with that he was teleported to Tartarus's arena.
Tartarus's arena: Perseus Pov:
"Hello, Perseus, new student to me." A booming voice said and it seemed to resonate from everywhere which it did as they were in Tartarus so technically he was all around me, hmm, mmm that is really a really odd situation then.
Just as he was about to talk a bit about himself to get introduced to his new mentor he noticed a huge and incredibly deadly spear getting thrust straight at his face from a being that just emanated power and fear. Just as he saw the spear coming he willed "Dark Justice" out in spear form and went to block the spear but he was too late and Tartarus...
