Legacy of the Moonlit Sea
Chapter 1: The Beginning of Their Story
Mount Othrys, San Francisco, Atlas' Torment
Atlas had been defeated, he was back under the sky, Percy quickly tried to recover from his ordeal. He noticed a strange dagger made of crystal nearby glowingly with silver energy. He picked it up and suddenly felt weaker, the crystal now had Sea-Green energy hovering around it. Percy put it in his pocket and with everything that followed promptly forgot about it. He had more important things like Zoƫ to worry about, she'd been badly injured by Atlas.
Camp Half-Blood Several Hours Later.
Percy had been lucky, very lucky, and yet at the same time he'd been very unlucky. The Gods had voted to let him live, due to his saving of Artemis and his father's threat of war. Thalia had decided to join the hunt, leaving the Great Prophecy to fall to him. Lucky him. Percy had gone to speak with Nico only to have the last of the immortal skeleton warriors attack him and Nico, it had then been revealed to him that Nico is a son of Hades. Percy and Annabeth had searched for sometime only to lose him in the forest. Percy after all the excitement and having dinner had gone to his bunk in his cabin to sleep, he'd been so tired he hadn't even bothered to take of his clothes or empty his pockets, as he slept the dagger fell out of his pocket and rolled onto his chest with all of his thrashing about from some interesting but pointless nightmares.
In the middle of the night the Crystal Dagger started to glow very brightly, Percy dead to the world didn't notice. The Dagger's light hit a certain brilliancy like that of the full moon, then the light exploded like a God returning to their immortal form afterwards it vanished and in its place was a young baby, wrapped in a silver blanket. The young babe, a little girl inches herself closer to her new father, this small actions calms Percy and banishes his nightmares.
In the morning Percy wakes to a weight on his chest, he opens his eyes to see a young baby lying on his chest. He thinks about panicking and then just sighs, while weird this definitely wasn't the strangest or most outlandish thing to happen to him in his life. Percy carefully picks the baby up, despite his apparent 'delinquent' reputation he was often paid to babysit on the weekends by neighbors, so he was no stranger to handling a baby.
He checks the time on his clock next to his bed 4:35 AM. He decides to leave camp silently rather than leaving with anyone else, he also didn't want an outcry over the baby in his arms.
As Percy and his new daughter walk towards the boundaries of the camp a centaur jogs towards them , Chiron, trainer of heroes and activities director of Camp Half-Blood "Perseus, where are you head at this time of the morning"
Percy turns so that Chiron can see his face and the baby he is carrying in his arms. Chiron's eyes widen in surprise at the baby in Percy's arms. Percy smiles crookedly and nods to Chiron "When I woke up this little one was sleeping on my chest, I don't know where she came from, but I think that she's mine. I'm taking her to my mother and will return for summer holidays"
Chiron nods in acceptance, like Percy's earlier thoughts he too thinks that this isn't the strangest thing to happen in this Camp "Then I'll see you are the start of the holidays then, if you don't mind what is her name?"
Percy shrugs in confusion "There wasn't a note present when I woke up, so I don't actually know. I'll get my mom to help me out. It'll probably be something from mythology like Andromeda or Diana or something like that. My mom's predictable that way"
Chiron nods in amusement "Well then, I hope you have some fun before I see you next" Chiron then trots away.
Percy smiles in amusement at how quickly the old centaur reacted to his new Daughter. As he walks towards New York a stray thought hits him 'Who is her mother?'
Mount Olympus, 1 Year Later, the After Party of Kronos' Defeat.
Percy smiles at the sight of his friends laughing and enjoying themselves, despite that his mind is still focused on his daughter. His mother had been a mix between grand-motherly love and sheer confusion when he had told her how he had ended up with a baby. But Sally didn't care, she happily started looking after little Selene as she was named. The only other person from the divine world who knew about her is his father Poseidon.
Percy then makes a decision and walks towards his father. Poseidon seeing Percy walking towards him with a serious expression on his face frowns and asks "Percy what's wrong?"
Percy stops walking and thinks for a moment before replying "I've just had enough of this lifestyle, I remember hearing about the fact that the northern part of Alaska is out of the reach of the Gods and I am thinking about moving up there with Selene. But I wanted to talk with you first, so you wouldn't panic if I just disappeared"
Poseidon nods gratefully "Thank you Percy, I would have panicked if you had just disappeared. But, I would like to remain in contact with you if you disappear, as Iris messages can't reach that area"
Percy thinks it over for a second and then smiles "Well, what about a mobile phone? You can easily get my number off of mom if I change it and it's untraceable. I should be able to deal with any monsters that come after me"
Poseidon thinks about that and is about to say something when a voice interrupts "Perhaps I can help with that?"
Percy and Poseidon turn to see a woman around twenty years of age with raven black hair. Poseidon recognizes her immediately "Hecate" Then he frowns in thought "
Why would you want to help us?"
Hecate smiles at Percy "Because of your son's little request, the only thing I was truly upset about was the fact that my children didn't have a cabin at Camp Half-Blood, but Percy solved that. So I'm willing to help with a bit of magic. I can hide your Demigod scent and give you a charm if you need to hide another's, and as a bonus I'll help remove the Dyslexia so you can read and write in English without a problem"
Percy bows to Hecate "Thank you Lady Hecate, I would like that"
Hecate puts her right hand on his shoulder and lifts him up to a standing position "Don't bow to me, if anything I should be bowing to you. But here at are the 'gifts' I mentioned" a small pulse of energy goes through Percy and suddenly an circular amulet with an engraving of three crescent moons facing out from a centre point with the edges of their prongs touching one another appears in his right hand.
Hecate then hugs Percy "Thanks again Percy, hope you enjoy your new life" Hecate then walks off smiling like a massive burden had been removed from her.
Poseidon shakes his head in exasperation "I don't think I'll ever understand why weird things like that happen around you Percy"
Percy shrugs in confusion "I think that Tyche loves me for some reason"
Poseidon nods in agreement with Percy's comment "At this point Percy, nothing about you could surprise me anymore"
Percy smiles at his father "Anyway, I guess it's time for me to disappear, I've spent far too long here. I wonder where I'll move to, somewhere interesting"
LMS
Over the next three years Percy spent his time training, interacting with his daughter and getting a diploma in Marine biology. After finishing his diploma 9with a bit of help from the mist) he moved to Alaska, specifically to a house on Channel Island not far from the town of St. Michael. The only requirement to doing so was that he had to keep an eye out on his pollution and keep track of the native wildlife for the Government, since Percy had asked for and gotten magic spell tomes from Hecate he easily set up some magic to fix the first problem and the second was merely a matter of counting the Reindeer, wolves and other large animals on the island while keeping an eye out for pests.
His daughter Selene grew into a five year old little angel, that absolutely loved the outdoors and after seeing an archery competition in the Olympics was hooked and constantly begged her father for a bow, he'd told her to wait until she was six before she'd get a bow (Percy had thought her a little young and short for a bow, but he wasn't an archer himself)
After moving to his new home Percy spent time buying archery equipment for himself and his daughter. He wasn't going to let his little angel upstage him in Archery, despite his best intentions Selene was a natural, but she was happy to explain to him how to use a bow as she saw it and with her help Percy actually ended up a competent Archer.
Percy also learned how to use Hunting Rifles as he not only needed it in case the nearby wolves got too aggressive, but it was helpful in gaining friends with some of the locals in St. Michael, once they found out he'd got a Rifle and hunting license, he often went on trips with some of the guys and girls while some of the less aggressive wives and sisters would look after Selene, who despite being good friends with the girls her age couldn't stand the boys. She hooked most of the girls her age into archery as well and they were often found practicing when the weather was fine (And sometimes not so fine) outside.
Percy as a Marine biologist (and State Ranger) often travelled far from his home, if he was only gone for a day or two he would leave Selene with her friends, but if he was gone for more than a couple of days he would take her with him.
Once he was asked to go to Hawaii for a conference and he managed to wrangle not only rooms and tickets for himself and Selene, but all of her friends as well. Their parents trusted Percy so they let him take them on a summer vacation to Hawaii.
It was at Hawaii that Selene first met her godly grandparent.
Hilo, island of Hawai'l, largest island in Hawaii.
Percy and Selene were spending a day at the Bayfront park with her friends, when a familiar person starts walking towards Percy.
Percy spotting the familiar figure shouts out "Dad!"
Immediately Selene was attentive, she'd always wanted to meet her Grandpa, when she saw a tall man who looked almost identical to her dad in a Hawaiian Shirt with Bermuda shorts she wasn't disappointed.
Poseidon grins at his son, he'd heard a lot about Percy from some of the ocean creatures, Percy was well known for his studies on pollution and its effects on marine animals, so well known that environmentally friendly companies often sent him prototype products meant to clean pollution from the water, almost all of them worked and Percy often got a large supply which he happily tested whenever he could.
Poseidon notices a little girl with auburn hair and his son's green eyes next to Percy and he smiles at her "Well hello, I imagine that you'd be little Selene then aren't you?"
Selene nods happily at Poseidon "Yep, and are you my grandpa?"
Poseidon grins back at Selene "I most certainly am, I wonder if your father has taught you some of the family secrets yet?"
Selene looks a little confused, while Percy shakes his head "Not yet, although I have taught her not to show off her ability to breathe underwater. She hasn't yet learned the secrets, although I'd imagine you're going to tell her aren't you?"
Poseidon nods happily "I am, mostly for the fact that that annoying little law doesn't apply to descendents, only children"
Percy raises an eyebrow in query "Is that your way of asking for some grandfather-granddaughter time?"
Poseidon just raises his own eyebrow back "And if it is?"
Percy nods in acceptance "Okay, but you have to tell her"
Selene pouts in confusion "Tell me what?"
Poseidon grins at Selene's pout and walks up to her before kneeling down in front of her "Tell me Selene, what do you know of Greek Mythology?"
Selene perks right up, she loves Greek mythology "Like the gods, Poseidon, Athena and Artemis?"
Poseidon nods in response to her answer "Yes, although I would like to know why you chose those specific gods?"
Selene grins broadly while Percy hides a grin of his own behind his hand "Because they're my favorite gods"
Poseidon smiles in response to her grin "Well that's nice, because I've two of those three"
Selene's eyes go wide "You mean the Greek gods are real? Wait, which one of the three haven't you met?"
Poseidon nods to her question "Yes little one the gods are real, and I've never met Poseidon"
Selene looks at Poseidon in confusion "Why not"
Poseidon looks around like he's hiding a secret and motions for Selene to move closer like he's about to whisper in her ear, Selene moves in to hear while Percy tries not to break down laughing.
Poseidon whispers "Because it's very hard to meet yourself"
Selene jerks back in surprise with her eyes so wide that they almost resemble and owl's "You're Poseidon?"
Poseidon grins and nods "Yes I am"
Selene spins around to glare at her father "How come you never told me?"
Percy sighs and kneels down next to his father to face Selene face to face "Because Selene, the world of the Gods isn't always a nice place, I had to watch some of my friends die in a pointless war when the Lord of Time tried to take back his throne"
Selene's eyes go wide "Wait you mean Kr-" Percy's hand quickly cover her mouth
Percy holds a finger to his mouth making a 'shush' gesture and says "Names have power Selene, when you call a god, monster or titan's name they can sometimes hear what you are saying"
