Chapter 7
3rd Person POV
After Percy left the camp Annabeth had gone to Olympus to prepare for her stay in Atlantis.
Annabeth had entered her bedroom door to find two of her friends sitting on her bed.
"Hi Piper. Hi Hazel. Where were you guys? I didn't see you at the new camp opening."
"Oh yeah, sorry we couldn't make it. We were preparing for the trip." Piper spoke with a smile.
"So you guys are doing it?" Asked Annabeth.
"Yup," confirmed Hazel.
"We are going to tail Percy for you and send updates every once in a while about how he's doing and if he's in any danger." Spoke Piper.
"Is it all five of you?" Asked Annabeth.
"Of course. Do you really think Jason and Frank would really let him go off alone? They suggested we follow him before we even told them the plan." Spoke Hazel.
"Thank you guys, I'll try to join you as soon as I can." Spoke Annabeth as she pulled them into hugs.
"We got it covered. Just take as long as you want down there in Atlantis, there's no need to rush." Spoke Hazel.
"Sure thing," Spoke Annabeth.
"Before I forget, were supposed to meet in the throne room in an hour or so." Spoke Piper.
The three girls talked in Annabeth's room until it was time to go to the throne room for their meeting with the Olympians. They entered the throne room to find the 14 Olympians already in their seats and Jason and Frank already in there. Surprisingly Nico and Thalia were waiting alongside Jason and Frank.
"Now that everyone is here we should get down to business," Spoke Hera.
"Yes come on and hurry," Spoke Zeus.
"We are gathered here today to figure out your sacred animals and determine your weapons of power." Spoke Hestia.
"Each of you may have been feeling a personal connection to a certain weapon or a fondness to a certain animal and today you will know your weapons and animals." Spoke Hera.
"Now come forth and claim your titles." Spoke Poseidon.
Piper stood first, "I, Piper McLean, Goddess of Natural Beauty and Persuasion claim the Black Panther as my sacred animal and the weapon of Katoptris and the Cornucopia as my weapons of power."
Aphrodite stood, "The mighty Black Panther, a creature whose beauty captivates the attention of all and is fitting for the Goddess of Natural Beauty. The Black Panther is also known as the Phantom Cat or the Dark Hunter. I, Aphrodite, claim you, Piper McLean, as the Night Hunter. All Hail Piper McLean, one of the Seven Goddesses of Night."
The air got cold as the room was covered in darkness. Artemis disappeared from her throne and reappeared in the middle of the room wearing a beautiful silver floor length dress. Hecate appeared in a flash of flames wearing an all black dress with a black veil covering her face. Selene descended from the skies in a sparkling silver dress that captured the lights in the room. As if a star fell from the sky came the Goddess Asteria, Goddess of Nocturnal Oracles and Falling Stars. The darkness gathered in the middle of the room and out of the darkness appeared Nyx, Primordial Goddess of the Night, and Achlys, Primordial Goddess of the Eternal Night.
They all stood before the council, "We, the Six Sisters of Night, accept Piper McLean into the Council of Night as the Night Hunter."
Selene and Artemis shot moonlight at Piper. Hecate shot a blast of Magic while Asteria raised her hand at the sky and a falling star descended upon Piper. Nyx and Achlys joined hands and shot a beam of darkness at Piper. Piper stood as all six powers collided with her and she felt the strength of the Night. A light started to shine and she held it as if holding a child. From the Light came the small form of a Black Panther cub.
She bowed her head and cuddled her newly found cub. The goddesses of Night flashed out of the room as Artemis and Aphrodite returned to their seats. Hecate just moved to the guest section and sat in one of the temporary seats.
Hazel stepped forth next, "I, Hazel Levesque, Goddess of Wealth and the Mist claim the White Tiger as my sacred animal and the Frakir and the Spikards as my weapons of power."
Gasps were heard throughout the room. In the tales of old the Frakir and the Spikards were great magical weapons that belonged to great wizard Merlin. After the Frakir rejected the Spikards and was discarded by Merlin it was said to be lost through time.
The doors burst open as a rope burst through the doors wrapping around the left wrist while a ring appeared on the right hand. To control both magical weapons at the same time would prove the beholder as a great user of magic. To just summon the two into the same room proved that the wearer was worthy of the great power.
Hecate stood, "Behold the Goddess of Magic who has called two great combatants to join forces and tame the mighty weapons of Merlin, a Goddess who I claim as my successor for the title Goddess of Magic. Behold the goddess whose sacred animal blends with the mist, Hazel Levesque, the White Tiger."
A low creeping mist entered through the doors of the throne room and crept its way up her legs gathering in her arms forming into a White Tiger cub. The cub curled up in the arms of Hazel and Hecate disappeared in wisp of mist.
Hades stood, "The gift I give to you is this."
He waved his hand and the ring on her finger changed from the form of a dragon to the form of a white tiger that growled and curled around her finger. She stared shocked at the ring before smiling up at her father.
"Thank you," She said before going to stand next to Piper. The two cubs stared at each other before crawling from the laps of their goddesses and playing on the floor.
Frank stood up next, "I, Frank Zhang, God of Animals, War, and Leadership claim the Red Dragon as my sacred animal and I choose to create my own weapon of power."
Frank generated a bow from thin air imbuing within it the powers of war, leadership, and animals. It was a recurve bow that was the perfect length that generated arrows the color of red.
Ares rose from his seat transforming into his Roman form. Mars spoke, "This is to be the Ducibus Bow, The bow of leadership and is only to be used by a true leader. Those who find themselves blessed by Frank Zhang will have the protection of the Arrows of War and find safety in all corners of the world. Hail the Guardian Beast, Frank Zhang."
The bow in Frank's hands transformed into a small Red Chinese Dragon that curled around his neck. Frank moved to sit next to Hazel and Piper as his dragon slithered to the ground playing with the two cubs letting out puffs of smoke.
Jason stepped forward; "I, Jason Grace, God of Winds, Bravery, and Swordsmanship claim the Hawk and the Cheetah as my sacred animals and the dual weapon coin as my weapon of power."
Zeus stood changing into his Roman form, "Behold a true ruler of the winds. With the betrayal of Aeolus this past war the gods have needed a new God of the Winds and I think it fitting for you to have such a high position. So, I now present a new God of the Winds, Jason Grace."
The twelve Anemoi appeared before the council. Boreas, Eurus, Notus, Zephyrus, Aparctias, Apheliotes, Argestes, Caicias, Circios, Euronotus, Lips, and Skeiron. A gentle breeze blew through the room and appeared before twelve men was Aura, the divine goddess of the breezes. The twelve men got down on one knee as if bowing before a royal. She nodded to the council as the twelve being rose before the divine being. She stood before Jason.
"It will be a pleasure working with you." Spoke the goddess.
"The pleasure is mine." Spoke Jason.
"Behold a true ruler to the winds of the world, Jason Grace, the God of the Winds. He has gained the respect of a divine being and will be respected." Spoke Aura. From her hands formed a staff like no other with a large crystal diamond atop. She slammed the staff down on the floor and a rush of wind entered the room swirling around Jason and lifting him off the ground.
As Jason touched the ground the twelve men disappeared from sight. Aura took one last look at Jason before sending a breeze towards him.
"My gifts to you." She spoke. He watched as the breeze swept around him and formed into the shapes of a mighty hawk bigger than any he had seen and a baby cub cheetah.
"Thank you," he spoke but as he looked up he found the room empty of the divine goddess. Jason moved off to the side leaving Annabeth standing in the middle of the room alone.
"I, Annabeth Chase, Goddess of Emotion, Life, Knowledge, Architecture and the Sea claim the Black Tiger, Killer Whale, and the Phoenix as my sacred animals and this, the dagger to replicate the Cursed Blade of the First Great Prophecy, as my symbol of power."
Gasps were heard throughout the room as Annabeth had claimed three animals as sacred animals and each took place on the three realms of the world; land, sky and sea. The Olympians and all who were gathered watched as she pulled the pin from her hair and it grew to be an exact replica of the knife given to her by Luke. The dagger gleamed a bright white light before dimming to a slight glow that emanated from the weapon.
Athena stood, "The Phoenix, an extinct animal that represents Eternal Life. To bring a species back from extinction shows the power given to her as a Goddess of Life. She travels through all domains, absorbing knowledge, controlling emotions and is claimed by the sea. Behold the Goddess of Souls, Annabeth Chase."
Annabeth hands rose. Copying the motion of the hands raised a flame from the hearth and water from the aquarium of the hippocampi. Colors started to become visible glowing around Annabeth and words and symbol swirled around her combing together. From the flames came the chick of a phoenix, the water formed into the calf of a killer whale swimming through the air and forming from the knowledge and visible emotions floating around Annabeth came a small black tiger cub.
The three animals swarmed around Annabeth. The killer whale swam through the air as if swimming through water glowing a shade of blue leaving the scent of the sea lingering in the air. The small phoenix had no trouble taking flight and leaving behind a sense of comfort, home and a trail of fire. The tiger cub wandered the ground defiant to all acting as a leader would and challenging any who stood in his way glowing a dim white light contrasting with his dark black fur.
The animals made their way back to Annabeth as she moved to the side to sit next to the other four gods and goddesses. Hestia stood from her throne.
"Now that that is taken care of, let us move onto other matters. Nico di Angelo and Thalia Grace please come forward." Spoke Hestia. The said people moved from their seats by the thrones of Artemis and Hades, respectively, to the middle of the room. After that was done Artemis and Hades stood.
"As congratulations for your long servitude to Olympus," started Artemis.
"And courageous efforts in fighting for the gods and sacrificing your lives," continued Hades.
"We the gods and goddesses of Olympus have deemed you worthy to join us as a God and Goddess of Olympus," Spoke Hestia.
"Do you accept?" Asked Hera.
The two stared at each other in shock before looking at their respective patron, "I do."
"Then by the power trusted to me as King of the Gods I declare you immortal beings until receiving your designated titles, weapons, and animals." Spoke Zeus. Zeus slammed his thunderbolt into the throne room floor and golden lighting bolts fell from the sky hitting the two warriors surging with power.
A flash indicated the arrivals of the fates, "We, the fates deem you, Nico di Angelo, a God of Hellfire, Shadows, Ghosts and Night. Your sacred animal is to be the Horses of the Underworld, Body of Shadows and Mane of Hellfire. Your symbol of power is the Skull Ring that turns into your Stygian Iron Sword. Behold the King of Darkness."
With that Nico was surrounded by darkness and the sounds of hooves beating grew as a horse burst from the shadows. The body made completely from shadows while it had a dark green Hellfire mane. The mane was the same color as Greek fire mixed with red and blue slivers of lesser flames. He reluctantly touched the horse's mane finding that he couldn't be burned.
The fates turned to Thalia, "We, the fates, deem you, Thalia Grace, a Goddess of the Wild, Hunting, and Clouds; titles from both your mistress and father from which you serve. Your sacred animal is the Bear for its great strength and incredible hunting skills. You will be granted with the power to send someone up into the realm of Ouranos. Your symbol of power will be your spear and bow crossed over each other behind the shield Aegis. You will also control the stars a common power between your father and mistress. Behold the Queen of the Stars."
Stars fell from the heavens as the smell of the forest entered the Throne Room. Clouds floated through the doors of the throne room. An illusion that they were in the forests, where the wild was untouched by men, entered the vision of all who was gathered in the throne room as the stars and clouds gathered together forming a bear cub. The cub landed softly on the ground before falling asleep amongst the tall grass of the visions. As the vision faded away the fates were nowhere to be seen and the cub was left curled at Thalia's feet.
The meeting ended soon after that. Jason, Frank, Hazel, Piper, Annabeth, Nico and Thalia all sat outside the throne room amongst one of the grassy hills on Olympus. They made occasional small talk but mostly watched as their newly formed animals interacted with each other and played. They stared mesmerized at the creatures flying through the air or running on the land, each its own unique beauty.
-Beacon Hills- *Percy POV*
We had just landed in Beacon Hills. We exited the airport and I followed Talia as she headed into the outskirts of the Town towards the Forests. As we made our way into the forests Talia and I transformed into our wolf forms. We both had midnight black hair but I had a silver stripe representing that I held the sky. We ran until Talia stopped in front of a burnt down house and then she howled.
At first nothing happened until a man burst through the front door. He was a werewolf with his claws extended and his red Alpha eyes glowing.
"Who are you?" He growled.
We transformed back into our human forms.
"Mom?" He asked.
"Hello Derek."
The man named Derek stood on the porch with an expression of shock left on his face. Slowly his claws retracted and the facial hair started to change into his normal face. He stood there for a few seconds before slowly walking forward. My body tensed because I didn't know what he would do.
"Don't worry Perseus, he is my son." She spoke as if she felt my discomfort. She met her son halfway between the house and me as they embraced. Derek held onto her with face that said he couldn't believe she was there in his arms.
"I thought you were dead," he spoke while still embracing his mother.
"Not quite," She said.
"Did the rest of the family make it? How did you escape? Who is he? Where have you been?" He asked after pulling away.
"Easy my son. I was the only one to escape and that was due to an old friend of mine. I was recovering my strength with the help of my friend and this is one of her family members. He is to stay with us until his family deems it time for him to return." She said.
"Why was he sent here? Was his family in some sort of danger and they sent him away?" Derek asked.
"He has a name and no, I was sent here to manage the Western Coast and check up on things with a allied pack on this side of the nation." I interrupted.
"I don't recall you saying where you're from," said Derek.
"Because I never said it," I replied. Derek growled at me before Talia interrupted us.
"You never fixed up the house Derek? Where have you been staying?" Asked Talia.
"I didn't think anyone would want to live here after, you know, the fire. I've been living in a studio in town." Spoke Derek.
"So, am I going to invite myself to live with you or are you going to ask? Also, have you begun to rebuild the pack and how's everyone else like my old associates?" Asked Talia.
I started to tune out their talking and turned towards the forest. I started to feel the life around us and the call of the wild. I also felt the sorrow surrounding the area and the death that occurred years before. I could feel the disturbances in the earth where there were traps laid down on the ground and there were no monsters in the surrounding areas; well, none that were Greek and could be turned to dust. Most importantly there was a magical power line running through the town and a magic power supply somewhere in town. He would have to bring someone in to investigate this magic while he dealt with the other wolves. My body started to change, not in the werewolf change but started to become younger. It was slow but I felt my face start to lose its mature tones, my height start to shorten a bit and my muscles started to lessen. I started to look younger like how I did when I was 16 after the first titan war.
"So, you have to go to high school?" His focus returned to the conversing family members.
"Yes he will be going back to school. He'll be starting his sophomore year with your Omega, Scott." Spoke Talia.
"What?" I asked. Derek gave a stare that clearly meant 'are you kidding?' while Talia gave me a mischievous smile.
"You're going to school and will have to become acquainted with Derek's pack." The statement was aimed towards me.
"I don't want to go back to school." I exclaimed.
"Just because you become a werewolf, doesn't mean you stop being human." Said Derek.
"No one said I was human," I thought. "Right. But I finished high school."
"Yes but you barely passed and you were absent for most of it. You start school tomorrow at Beacon Hills High. Now Derek if you'll please take us to your current living quarters."
"Sure. Jump in." He led us to a Black Chevrolet Camaro.
"This is your car?" I asked.
"Yes, now hurry up and jump in or get left behind." We drove for a little before arriving outside his studio. He led us up to the studio and showed us where we would be staying. I had my own room that I could decorate with a private bathroom. He said that the kitchen was always stocked since he had multiple people coming in and out. He also said that there would be a few people who would pass through and he'd introduce us to them later.
-Time Skip-
"So how'd you get bit?" Asked Derek.
I hesitated, Could I tell him?
"My friend who I told you who runs one of the strongest packs in America bit him. She seen his potential and his family agreed to it." Spoke Talia.
More like was forced into it. I thought.
"What pack is that again?" Derek asked.
"The pack of Romulus." Said Talia.
"Romulus? Like the original pack of Rome you used to tell us about?" Asked Derek.
"Yes Derek, the one and only Romulus pack who has traveled from Rome to help one of Percy's family members." Artemis and Lupa won't even come near this Alpha Pack without my confrontation with them to test their strengths.
"You have a powerful family." He said while looking at me.
"Don't I know," I said a bit mockingly.
"Who's your family to the Romulus Pack?" Asked Derek.
"That is none of your concern," I said off handedly.
"You'll find out later, maybe." Spoke Talia.
A breeze swept in from the window and the smell of the woods drifted up into the loft. It was unusual since the loft was in the middle of a bunch of building and the woods were about a few roads away. A flash caught my eye from out of the window and the silver light of the moon shone upon a lonesome figure. I quickly made an excuse and walked down to meet the figure.
"Lady Artemis."
"Perseus." She spoke.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I would like to inform you that your friends, Nico and Thalia, have joined godhood as well and they received their sacred animals, weapons and their domains." She said. She reached out and touched my head as a flash of pictures and words went through my mind.
"The information I have given you is all you need to know about what has recently happened on Olympus." She spoke before turning away.
She stopped, "Oh and you will be receiving company."
Before I could respond she flashed away in a bright silver light leaving nothing but darkness and confusion in her wake.
A/N: Hopefully you guys liked the domains, animals and weapons? Review about those. Next scene Percy meets Scott and the pack. Percy's mysterious visitor will also be making it's appearance.
