No reviews? I'm disappointed.
I do not own Percy Jackson, i only own Seth/Theron and his children. They are property of Rick Riordan and i am most definitely not him.
Othrys Looks Better - chapter 39
Poseidon was the only one that acted and ran towards his brother trying to help him, but Theron waved him off and stumbled to the body of Luke.
"I have a few minutes before The Fates come," Theron said to the Olympians as he placed a hand on Luke's head and Hermes tried to stop him, but Poseidon blocked him from going towards them. Theron started muttering in a language older than the gods, the language of the Titans. An electric blue mist seeped out of the floor and hovered above Luke. Theron held it in his hand and placed it over Luke's mouth. The smoke was slowly drawn down into Luke's mouth as Theron continued chanting. Luke drew in a sharp breath and his eyes opened as Theron sat back apparently satisfied. The Olympians' jaws dropped as Theron brought someone back to life.
"Hades," Theron said weakly. "He's in Manhattan."
"Apollo," Poseidon said urgently. "Heal him."
Apollo nodded as Theron drew in a sharp breath and gave the Titan some Ambrosia then pulled Backbiter out of him and immediately set to work. Theron lost consciousness as he rapidly lot ichor and slumped to the floor.
"Zeus," A voice said from the fire and the Olympians turned to face Hestia. "I believe you have some apologising to do to our brother." The hearth then slowly cleared, showing the Olympians the three mortals in the fire. Poseidon rushed over to Percy and gave him a bear hug whilst Athena worriedly checked on Annabeth who was still unconscious.
Zeus thought for a moment before walking over to Theron with his master bolt in his hand. He then gave his older brother a mild shock and woke him up. "Ready?" Zeus asked and Theron nodded as he raised his hands towards the master bolt. Zeus then blasted electricity and Theron absorbed it, glowing brightly as the current flowed around him and healed his wounds whilst giving him a burst of energy.
"Help me down to Manhattan," Theron ordered and his brothers nodded before Poseidon took a hold of him and flashed out. Zeus quickly followed along with the other Olympians.
In Manhattan the demigods were barely holding back the monsters, Theron quickly strode forward towards the monster lines as his power increased in the presence of the few hundred monsters. His stopped a hellhound from mauling a demigod with a simple glare and stopped in the middle of the street. "Stop!" He roared and his voice echoed around, all the monsters immediately paused in their attacks and bowed to him. "Go," Theron said quietly. "All of you. Back to Tartarus, now." Several monsters didn't look happy, but complied. Within minutes the battlefield was clear of every monster and Theron walked to the next thing he had to fix. An angry goddess blasted him with divine energy and he allowed the attack to hit him, making him fly into the side of a skyscraper as Persephone tried to kill him.
"You killed him!" The goddess of spring said angrily.
"No, I didn't. I stabbed him in the chest. I made sure I didn't kill him, he is my brother." Theron said sadly and the Olympians could make out the details of Hades, the god of the Underworld. Demeter was kneeling beside him and ichor pooled around the elder god.
"Theron," Demeter said. "I know you-"
"No you don't. None of you do, I have less than a minute to right everything as much as I can, so let me do it." Theron almost pleaded with Persephone and Demeter.
"Daughter," Demeter said, "Move out of his way."
"But he-"
"He is Hades only chance. Do you want Hades to go to Tartarus?"
Persephone shook her head and moved out of Theron's way. The Titan quickly flashed to Hades' side as the demigods crowded around. Theron frowned and his hands sparked with electricity which he shoved at the god, Hades yelled and several Olympians moved forward to try and restrain Theron, but the elder gods stopped them. Theron slumped back as the electricity in him was exhausted, Hades had stopped bleeding.
"Do you need some more?" Zeus asked as he made his master bolt spark.
Theron looked at Hades and thought for a minute before nodding and Zeus blasted him again. "Thanks," Theron said quietly, but didn't use it to heal Hades anymore and just stood up. Persephone and Demeter helped Hades to his feet as Theron stood there in the middle of the street.
"So, what happens now?"
"We will go to the throne room and decide." Zeus declared and each god took hold of several campers to flash back to the throne room. Theron saw Chiron limping and made his way over to him, the centaur was wary of the Titan at first, but allowed him to flash him back to the throne room.
When Theron arrived all of the gods had taken their thrones, he helped the centaur over to the campers then without saying a word walked to the centre of the room. "What will you do with me this time, brother?" He asked curiously as he looked at Zeus.
"We can't do the same as last time, Zeus," Poseidon warned. The campers had no clue what was happening.
Zeus looked at the assembled Olympians then said clearly. "This matter is for the children of Kronos to decide." Several Olympians started complaining, but were interrupted by a flash. The three Fates stood in front of the Olympian council.
"Actually, Zeus," Atropos said. "This matter is for us to decide."
Zeus narrowed his eyes, but nodded reluctantly, "Of course."
"Theron, son of Kronos," Lachesis said loudly. "You directly disobeyed our orders." The Olympians looked shocked and Theron flinched slightly.
"If I had left him-"
"It does not matter," Clotho spat. "Luke Castellan was to die. We ordered you to leave him be. Not to mention in the process of disobeying us, you have broken an ancient law. Have you forgotten our agreement?"
Theron paled and lowered himself into a deep bow. "I have not forgotten. But Luke-"
"What would your father say?" Lachesis asked. "Yes, you saved Olympus like we said. But you disobeyed us at the same time."
"Luke had a short life!" Theron yelled. "We destroyed it. I have given him a second chance!"
"It does not matter. Luke was supposed to be the hero of the Great Prophecy, you have stopped that. For your actions we have decided to punish you." Atropos said harshly. "You will have two more millennia in our service. Else we shall make right what should have happened at the end of the Titanomachy."
Theron gritted his teeth. "Of course I will serve you."
"Remember our agreement, Prince. Else Othrys will lose more than its King." The Fates threatened before flashing out.
Theron started cursing The Fates and stood up from his bow as the Olympians tried to process everything they had heard.
"What were they talking about?" Zeus asked curiously.
"I made a deal with them before the end of The Titanomachy," he said the name with bitterness.
"What was it about?" Poseidon asked his older brother.
"Our father was meant to fade after The Titanomachy," Theron admitted. "I made a deal with The Fates to stop that so that one day we could rise again and take what is rightfully ours. I would serve The Fates and Kronos wouldn't fade."
"The world is not yours," Zeus said as he gripped his throne.
"Not yet," Theron grinned. "But it will be again sometime."
"The Titans will never rise again!" Zeus thundered. "Your time was over when father ate our siblings!"
"I stand by what I said." Theron said stubbornly. "Yes, I have seen that you rule the world justly in my time as Seth. And yes, father has an unhealthy habit of wanting to kill you. But this is the most time we have ever spent together, I have to admit, I am starting to think of you as family. Well, except for some of you. Several of you have done things to me that I shall never forgive and I still want revenge on, but you are family."
"And you never kill family," Hades said from his temporary throne.
"Correct," Theron inclined his head towards the god. "So, for now I shall try to persuade father that not all of you are bad. Of course, he hates you, Zeus, and I will never be able to change that. But I might be able to change his mind on some other things."
"So you intend to go back to Tartarus, then?" Poseidon asked.
"The surface world is nice and all, but Tartarus has become my home. Besides, the sooner I go down there, the sooner it is until father lifts my punishment for betraying him, again." Theron scowled. "And, Luke," he looked at the son of Hermes sitting at the base of the god's throne. "I give you two favours to ask of the Titans. Choose them wisely." Luke nodded slightly at the Titan as the elder gods shifted slightly in their seats.
"Brother," Poseidon said and when Theron looked at him he continued. "You owe me. I saved your life."
"Actually, its 3-1 to me - I bothered to save your son from our father, and saved you once again." Theron grinned as Poseidon scowled.
"I could have blocked the stab," He argued and Theron laughed.
"He was about to stab you, I got put in a head-lock with Backbiter at my throat for you." He then looked around at the Olympians. "I have given you all a gift, use it wisely. You can contact me by Iris or Arke messages if you have to." Theron grinned as he looked around the hall of the gods, "I think Othrys looks better." He said simply before summoning StormWraith and the shield that had saved his life to him and disappearing in a roar of fire.
"That was eventful," Athena said. "Father, you have some explaining to do. Why have we not known about him?"
"Your father is too paranoid," Poseidon grinned.
"I am not paranoid!" Zeus shouted indignantly.
"As I was saying," Poseidon continued. "Theron is the oldest child of Kronos, the Prince of Othrys and Titan of Hunting, Elements, Monsters, and Fate."
"Don't forget The Underworld," Hades said.
"When was he born then?" Athena asked curiously.
"How about we start from the beginning," Poseidon stated. "Theron was born before the death of Ouranos after Kronos and Rhea declared their love for one another…" The elder gods explained everything, all of them taking a turn to narrate what they each remembered the best up to the end of The Titanomachy.
So now Theron is revealed to everyone (except the Romans) and i have also opened up a reason to do a story from Theron's birth to the end of the Titanomachy, the 6 elder gods telling the others about him.
I have the last chapter left, the finale.
Should i go straight into HOO or do a story (prequel) about Theron being born up to the end of the Titanomachy? I need to know by the end of this story so i can start writing immediately.
I have started my Percy Jackson Teen Wolf xover so if you could just take a look at it if you are interested in that.
