Neptune sat up groggily and could feel a third degree burn on his chest, he looked to Apollo to heal him but the sun god just glared at him in disgust. He then looked to Artemis to slap her brother but she glared at him as well. His chest felt like it was on fire and he surprisingly coughed up smoke. He saw Jupiter smirking in his direction and he glared at him, he saw the look of shock on all the gods faces but was more concerned about the problem of his son hating him. He wondered where he went wrong, he hadn't done anything to Percy when he was younger yet he hated him. This was the first time he'd seen his son at all and...he was a complete idiot. He could remember Vesta pleading him to visit their son but he had always declined as he cared for his child that he had with his wife. His son Triton, he was taking his time to make sure his son would be a great warrior and made him leader of his army. But then he had met Suzy Johnson, a beautiful mortal that he fell for instantly. Well, they had a kid and he was Poseidon at the time, he wanted to make sure his new demigod son had it perfect. He personally escorted him to camp and introduced him as the son of Poseidon. Jacob was twelve at the time and loved the attention, he was then sent on a quest with Annabeth and Grover to retrieve Zeus's master bolt, and then went through the sea of monsters to get the Golden Fleece. He had never felt so proud and completely forgot about Percy, he wondered where Percy had been the whole time but never bothered to even look or think of him for he thought he had the perfect son Jacob. And now he had ticked off his son who has fire powers, great.
Neptune tuned back into the conversation and was immediately shocked to see Percy hugging his brother Pluto.
"Percy, I can't believe you almost defeated Neptune and didn't call me up to watch the show!" Pluto teased as he ruffled Percy's hair, Percy grinned at him,
"Sorry dad, he kinda provoked me." Neptune's mouth fell open and he completely forgot about his burns. He had replaced him with Pluto, his heart felt heavy as he watched the child he never bothered to care for, hug another man who he claimed to be his father. Neptune then felt outraged,
"What is this! He's not your father I am! I created you!" Percy's eyes lit on fire again and the godly twins began to shake in anger as they watched Neptune verbally hurt their brother multiple times. Pluto was growling and shadows covered the throne room. Percy's hands were ablaze as he glared at the sea god, Aphrodite watched the scene go down with raised eyebrows,
"Percy is hot." This made Hermes and Apollo start cracking up which broke Artemis out of her angered emotions as she rolled her eyes but gave Aphrodite a warning glare not to touch her little brother. Aphrodite didn't seem to notice as she slyly turned into a fourteen year old. He was about to kill Neptune when he felt calmness seep into his body, he looked at his mother who was standing up and smiling at him softly,
"Come to the hearth Percy." She whispered soothingly and he grabbed his fathers arm before they all sat by the fire. He took calming breaths and without looking up said,
"I am a person Neptune, I'm no robot. I'm a demigod, a living being. And Pluto's my father, not you. He was there for me when I was five, he was there to teach me when you never came. He loved me like a father should, but you never did. It went on that way for years until you made me do an almost impossible thing." Neptune looked at his son sadly,
"And what's that?"
"You made me lose hope." The room was in silence again as Percy began to stoke the flames with his own fire. Pluto patted his son on the shoulder reassuringly while Vesta held one of his hands,
"Never lose hope Percy, it's what keeps up going." Vesta said softly while starting to stoke the flames as well. Artemis stopped herself from rushing to embrace Percy while Apollo glared at Neptune,
"Your stupidness surprises me uncle. I thought that you were the one that always treated your children right, why Jacob will probably turn into another Orion." Neptune just looked away from everyone in shame while Jupiter spoke up,
"Well, now that the matters settled lets get back to business. Percy, for being a forbidden child you shall die. Unless any oppose of his death?" All hands raised except for Neptune who was busy sulking. Percy didn't bother to look up from the flames that always seemed to mesmerize him, he wondered what would happen if Jupiter figured out that Artemis and Apollo had aided him, a forbidden child.
"A shame we couldn't rid ourselves of those two hades spawn." Jupiter mused quietly and Percy was on his feet charging at the god. In fear the god hurled his bolt at the demigod but to everyone's surprise he swiftly dodged it and tackled Jupiter, the god was slammed against his throne and Percy's eyes were suddenly aflame for what seemed to be the millionth time today,
"Listen here all mighty god of thunder, I don't care who you are or your dramatic titles! You will leave my siblings alone and won't kill them like you'd did with their mother Maria. You will let them peacefully enter camp Halfblood and you won't touch a hair on their heads. You are nothing but an arrogant god who cheats on his wife multiple times and blows up about everything. Your freaked out about my father breaking his oath but you did as well you paranoid jerk! One of them is even roman which is forbidden, so shut your trap and quit runnin things like its a dictatorship cuz it's not!" Percy roared and released the fearful and flustered god. Hera beamed at the demigod while Artemis snickered. Percy stepped back and Jupiter glared at him in anger,
"Give me a reason why I shouldn't kill you right now!" Pluto was about to threaten war but Percy smirked,
"You need me."
-AT THE HUNT-
"WHAT!" Zoe yelled in outrage as Percy smiled at her sheepishly,
"I said, that Artemis is sending us to camp Halfblood for a while. She needed to hunt down a monster and had to do a solo mission." Zoe was fuming at the very thought of that wretched camp, those disgusting males always messing with them and taunting them for being girls. And then she puts an arrow where the sun don't shine. They were suddenly teleported to the camp and Percy looked around in surprise, there were numerous training stations like archery, sword fighting, climbing the lava wall, and other things that had Percy's mind swimming in fascination. Zoe saw this and rolled her eyes, she then smacked the back of his head making him yelp,
"Keeping up with my role as an actress, now get out of my way boy!" She snapped and the hunters snickered while Percy rolled his eyes and walked around. The hunters walked behind him and even though Percy's hood was up, Zoe couldn't help but notice that almost all the girls were starring at him. She felt that ugly feeling build up again but could realize while all the girls were starring at him, he was a tall and mysterious teen with visible muscles that you could see through his hoodie. He was walking next to a black wolf and had the walk of a confident man who seemed fearless. A golden bow was slung on his back and hunting knives were sheathed at his waist, he wore a golden guitar necklace that made him look even more mysterious. He had on black, steel toed boots and had an alertness that showed he was a great warrior.
Thalia saw him and quickly ran up to him,
"Surprised you escaped the man hating goddess and my father. How do you do it Perce?" He chuckled and slung his arm around his cousin,
"Well Thals, I have been told on several occasions that I'm awesome. So there's your answer." Zoe bristled with jealousy at the two and fought to keep herself from yanking Percy away from her. Thalia laughed and gave the hunters a side ways glance,
"I thank your being stalked." She whispered making Percy snicker softly,
"They probably just wanna kill me, no biggie." Thalia just shook her head in amusement as she led him to the big house. The hunters went to their cabin and Zoe sat down fuming that Percy was with another girl at the moment. She wondered if they liked each other, she didn't realize that they only saw themselves as cousins.
"Hi Alpha." Thalia greeted and the wolf smiled at her before turning to Percy,
"Dude you better be careful. Zoe's jealous of you and Thalia." Percy looked down at Alpha in confusion,
"How would you know?"
"If I can smell fear, I'm pretty sure I can smell jealousy."
"Well why is she?" Thalia tried to keep up with the conversation but it was a little one sided so she zoned out and thought of her friend Luke.
"Uh I dunno, maybe it's because your wrapped up with another girl."
"I'm not wrapped up with her, she's my cousin for Zeus sake!"
"Well Zoe clearly doesn't know this."
"Why would she be jealous anyway?"
"Wow your head is full of kelp."
"HEY!" They soon stopped talking once they saw a centaur approach them. Percy stared up at him and gave him a nod,
"Hello Chiron, I'm Percy Jackson." Chiron seemed surprised that Percy knew him and gave him a small smile,
"Hi Percy, welcome to camp Halfblood. And who is your godly parent?" Thalia looked at him expectedly,
"Son of Hades." Chiron looked surprised but nodded,
"Okay we can just set you up in the Hermes cabin-"
"It's fine, Apollo took pity on me and allowed me to stay in his cabin." Percy lied but he knew that Apollo wouldn't mind, after all he didn't want to be crammed in the Hermes cabin. Chiron smiled at him again and gestured to a fat guy with a hawaiian shirt,
"This is Mr. D, he's the camp director." Percy didn't have to ask who he was for he had met and learned about the god of wine. Mr. D eyed him,
"Why don't you take off your hood boy?" A crowd began to gather and Percy had forgotten it was even on. Alpha growled softly at the drunk who glared at him in return. Percy took his hood off and a series of gasp were heard and all of which he ignored. Alpha sat beside his master and Percy began to scratch him behind the ears. Thalia was still under Percy's arm and she smiled up at her cousin who ruffled her hair fondly. She glared at him as she tried to smooth it out.
Chiron was in shock at the boys eyes, they were a sea green not black. They also had a red ring around the irises and they pulsed with power.
"I remember you! Perry here was just on Olympus." Mr. D said causing more gasps to be heard. Percy turned and glared at the demigods,
"Don't you guys have some dummies to hack?" There was grumbling before part of the crowd dispersed while the remainder of the crowd listened to the conversation curiously. Not wanting to give away his parentage and personal problems he walked away with Thalia.
"Perry, you can't have that dog around here." Percy kept walking,
"When you get my name right, I'll start caring. Not that I would anyway, your not touching my wolf." There was a chorus of oh's and Alpha snarled at the wine god before catching up to Percy.
"Thanks boss." Percy smiled down at his wolf and gave him a pat on the head. He entered the Apollo cabin and waved goodbye to Thalia,
"See you at lunch." She called out to him before disappearing. The Apollo kids looked at him in confusion,
"Claimed?" One of them asked because Percy stuck out like a sore thumb. Black hair and green eyes while the others had blonde hair and blue eyes. He shook his head,
"Son of Hades, your father said I could stay in this cabin." Some looked at him in confusion, others in fear, and a few in disgust. Alpha growled at them making the campers jump in fear. They eyed the wolf warily and Percy started to stroke his fur which made the angry wolf calm.
The same boy spoke up,"You know our father?" He was about to blurt out that he was Apollo's little brother but held his tongue.
"Not well, he took pity on me allowed me to stay in your cabin." The boy nodded,
"Well I'm Will Solace." He thrust out his hand and Percy shook it, Apollo's other children gave him a look of disapproval, except for the girls who looked gob smacked. This is gonna stink.
Artemis was running through the woods when a flash of gold light appeared in front of her. Apollo looked at her stoically,
"I know what you've been doing." Artemis glared at her brother for intervening with her mission,
"I don't have time for this idiot! Get out of my way!" Apollo ignored her and narrowed his eyes at her,
"I know what You've been doing to Percy and it isn't okay." She froze and looked into his blue eyes in alarm. She didn't think her stupid brother could figure it out, she thought it could be swept under the rug and forgotten about.
She decided to play innocent because she didn't know for sure if he even knew what she was hiding,
"What are you talking about!" She snarled in an attempt to keep up her usual cold demeanor, she then mentally face palmed when she remembered that Apollo was the god of truth and could easily detect a lie.
"Don't play stupid, you have been babying Percy and it isn't okay. All the times you two spar you go easy on him so it ends up a draw. I mean, when you two first had a draw it was because you left your stomach exposed. That's a vital area that you know must always be protected. You did it on purpose so he would feel good about himself, stop doing this. That's not the only time, I know it isn't. If he is to be the best you must start training him hard core, I've seen his future and he has a lot of hardships to face. Artemis, he has to play his role and he must win, he can't do that if you keep up this fake fighting." Artemis was surprised that Apollo was intelligent enough to find out her secret and come up with such a speech. She knew that she needed to stop babying him but he was her baby brother, she liked seeing him so happy when he thought he had bested her. He was an extremely good fighter but she was better. She then realized that if she kept up this facade then he could get himself killed, and that's the last thing she wanted. She couldn't imagine Percy's death, but she could envision him on the ground with a spear through the heart because of his lack of training.
"Your right Apollo, I'm sorry. I didn't even know you had the intellect to deliver a speech like that." She confessed and Apollo beamed,
"I'm just awesome like that. I'm also very bright." She scoffed and rolled her eyes,
"I've got a hunt to do."
For Percy, pretending you didn't know your sisters or best friend was difficult. He always wanted to run up to the group and hang out with them like old times but he had to keep them safe. Percy was hanging out with Thalia and Annabeth at the archery range. The hunters were there as well and he kept glancing over at them to see what they were doing. The girls would sneak him sly smiles but missed having Percy with them. Percy turned his attention back to Thalia and Annabeth and asked the question he's been wanting an answer to,
"Why did Luke join Kronos?" Thalia's once happy face turned bitter while Annabeth stared at the ground. She was about to speak but Bianca and Nico ran up,
"Are you Percy?" She asked and he gave them both big smiles,
"Yep."
"Our dad told us to find you, he said-"
"IS THAT A WOLF!" Nico asked excitedly as he stared at Alpha. Percy laughed and Bianca glared at her brother for interrupting.
"Sure is, his name is Alpha." The wolf eyed the excited Nico warily,
"Boss, this kid is creepin me out." He complained and snapped at Nico who yelped and jumped behind the wide eyed Bianca. Thalia and Annabeth started snickering while Percy looked at his wolf disapprovingly,
"Alpha, is that anyway to treat my siblings?"
"The little squirt was askin for it! IS THAT A WOLF? Wow, I should stare at it and make it feel uncomfortable!" Alpha mimicked Nico's voice sarcastically making Percy chuckle,
"Your just sensitive."
"Seriously, you were just complaining about these chicks lookin at you funny. Wake up call stupid, their checking you out!"
"Why so hostile?"
"It's all that kids fault! His freakiness is making me feel all violated, and when I feel violated I get grouchy." Nico and Bianca stared at their brother in confusion and Annabeth waved them off,
"Ya, he can talk to wolves. Don't ask me how." Their eyebrows widened in shock which made Thalia laugh. Percy looked at Nico apologetically,
"Sorry, Alpha doesn't like people staring at him like that." The eleven year old scuffed his feet on the ground in embarrassment while Bianca shook her head,
"Anyway, dad told us to find you. He said something about training." Percy's eyes widened before he smirked,
"Let's go."
And what do ya think. Someone commented that Percy was turning into a Mary Sue because he could tie with Artemis. Said person is correct, Percy can't be that powerful or the story would e boring with lack of actual challenge. And shout out to J-Storm 12 for being awesome and pming me, also giving me some much needed advice and self confidence. And for the people confused about the roman and greek gods in the throne room, the gods that went to roman form only did so because it was specifically them dealing with Percy who is roman. It would make no sense for Hermes to turn into Mercury because Percy isn't really his problem. Artemis stays in her Greek form because its her job to teach Percy about the Greeks. Any way, comment.
