A/N: Thank you for all of the wonderful support! I really appreciate it. I would also like some reviews on how you like the story so far. Am I making things interesting enough? Constructive criticism, please... not destructive. :)

Also, if you somehow missed it, Polyamourous relations was requested. Harry is married to both Daphne and Susan, but that does not mean that Daphne and Susan will be intimately involved.

Chapter 12:

Harry

-What happened before-

Harry stepped out of the portal and inside of Camp Halfblood. Looking around, he smiled at the shocked looks he was getting from the demigods. "Hey, what's up?" he asked, closing the portal and putting the artifact in his pocket.

Nico ran over to hug Harry. "Harry! I'm so happy to see you!"

"Hey, kiddo." Harry ruffled Nico's hair. "What's been going on?"

Nico smiled, fixing his hair, and said, "Well, the ship building will take another month to finish. All of Hephaestus' cabin is working hard on it. They say that it will be a masterpiece."

"Are they going with the smaller design?" Harry asked, curiously.

Nico nodded. "They went back and forth on the pros and cons, but eventually decided that they only needed eight bedrooms, a war room, and a storage room below. The bedrooms are little more than a bunk room, so it's not taking up too much room for the ship."

"Good," Harry said. He turned as Chiron came up. "Hey, Chiron!"

"Harry! It's good to see you!" Chiron placed a hand on Harry's shoulder. "How are the girls?"

"They are both fine." Harry grinned. "Daphne's pregnant." He had to share the news, he was that excited about it.

"Congratulations," Chiron said.

"Thanks, man. We didn't know it, but she was pregnant when we were last here, and when she found out, I was busy with wedding planning, so she waited until Susan and I got back to tell me." Harry could feel his cheeks hurting from grinning for too long. Even Nico and Chiron were smiling.

A girl slowly made her way over to the trio. She walked as if in a daze. Her eyes seemed to spear Harry's soul as she spoke, "The child of Lightning, chosen for greatness, shall go Northwest to save the trapped Death. A giant to fight, an eagle to find, and a friend to save await the dark-haired savior. To find your happiness, and reach your full potential, you must become your truest self. The eagle returned to Jupiter, a snake shall reap your wrath. A camp destroyed if not for quick action."

Harry stared at the girl in shock. Another prophecy?! "What does that mean?"

The girl blinked out of her daze. "It means that you have a quest, Harry Potter."

"Who are you and how do you know my name?" Harry asked warily.

"Harry, this is Rachel Elizabeth Dare," Chiron introduced the two.

Rachel smiled. "After the battle against Kronos, I came here and took in the spirit of Delphi." She shrugged. "Now, I get taken over by the spirit and I spout prophecies every now and then."

"That must suck." Harry frowned, looking at her in sadness for her situation.

"Sometimes, but then again… If I didn't take on the spirit, I wouldn't be able to enter this camp. I'm a normal mortal, but I could always see the strange and unusual."

Harry tilted his head. "So, you're not a demigod, but you're not really a mortal." Rachel smiled and shrugged.

Chiron looked back at Harry. "Well, it seems like you have a quest to go on. Let's get you set up for a quest, with money, food, and more."

Harry nodded. "Of course."

Nico put a hand on Harry's arm. "Looks like you'll be taking a detour before you find Percy."

Harry nodded. "I'll try to hurry up on this side quest, and go to find Percy. Don't worry, Nico." He gave the younger boy a hug. "Your older brother will be just fine."

"Oh, he's not-" Nico started to say.

Harry shook his head. "You don't have to be related as brothers to be brothers. You might be cousins, but you can also connect with him as a brother."

Nico smiled. "Really?"

"Really," Harry replied. He saw Chiron smile in pride from the corner of his eye. When he was led to the store, Harry only got enough money to last him a month. Harry had a feeling that this particular quest wouldn't take more than that.

…

Harry found himself in Alaska a week later, unsure of how he got to the island. He looked around the island, seeing the ruins of a camp, weapons lying around, and other artifacts. "What's all this? Weapons, armor, a giant eagle, and …" His voice faltered as he saw the person in chains. He rushed forward, calling out, "Hey! Are you okay?"

The person in chains looked up and Harry was temporarily shocked at the beautiful face. The being before Harry stared up at him in shock and disbelief, before saying, "You look like me." Even his voice was beautiful and lilting. "You must be one of my descendants."

"My name is Harry Potter," Harry said.

"Oh? So you gathered all three of my artifacts that I left for my descendants to find." He smiled at the teen before him. "My name is Thanatos and I am the god of Death. I left those artifacts for my descendants to find so that I could find someone to take over the majority of my duties."

"The cloak, wand, and the stone?" Harry asked. Thanatos nodded. "Why do you want to find a replacement?"

"I'll tell you later," Thanatos said. "First, you must free me."

Harry nodded sheepishly. He couldn't believe that he had been so foolish. Harry started to banish the chains, one at a time, when a set of thundering footsteps caught their attention. "A giant?" Harry cried out. He was in shock at the sight. This wasn't like the giants back home.

"Yes," said Thanatos. "Normally, these giants can be defeated by a god and a demigod working together to defeat them, but this is Alaska where the gods don't have powers. You will have to get him out of Alaska and then he can be defeated."

"Got it," Harry said. He quickly banished the last of the chains holding Thanatos and then turned to the giant that was heading his way.

"Before you go," Thanatos said. "You should probably take the eagle with you. The place where your friend is, is looking for it."

Harry turned his head to look at the eagle again. "Levioso. Accio. Reducio." With those three spells, the eagle was sitting nicely in the palm of Harry's hand. "Now to take care of this giant," he said, placing the eagle figurine into his pocket and pulling out the tiny broom, before returning it to its normal size. There were runes all along the broom to keep its magic running even with shrinking for transport. Harry hopped onto the broom. "Need a ride," he asked his ancestor.

"I'll take it," Thanatos replied. He hopped onto the broom behind Harry, holding tight to the boy's waist.

Harry laughed. "I won't let you fall," he said. "I'm a good flier." Harry took off, weaving back towards the border of Alaska, shooting spells at the giant. "Come on, you big ugly. Follow me." He laughed when the giant roared with anger at the spells hitting him.

"What is this?" the giant yelled, swatting at the air. He stomped towards Harry and Thanatos. "You will die, small flying people! I cannot be killed except by god and demigod together, and the gods have no powers here."

Harry laughed, leading the giant away from the island, still shooting spells back at the giant. He didn't care to know what the giant's name was, not in this situation. Suddenly, as they came to the border, the giant disappeared from behind them. "What?" Harry asked.

"Watch out!" Thanatos hollered.

Harry looked ahead of them, and saw the giant. "Shit!" he yelled when he saw the boulders that the giant was throwing. "Hold on," he told the god behind him. Then he was bobbing and weaving, avoiding the boulders easily. Harry brandished his wand and shot the blasting curse at the giant. The first one made the giant stumble back.

"Again," Thanatos said.

The second blasting curse had the giant stumbling back again, getting closer to the border. Harry throws a third blasting curse, making the giant fall to the ground into Canada. Harry smirked. "You got this?"

Thanatos chuckled. "Yes, you did the majority of the work, and now it's my turn."

Harry landed, and watched as Thanatos dismounted. Then Thanatos blasted the giant with one hit, turning him to dust. "Well, that was anticlimactic," he said.

-Back to the present-

As the giants descended upon Camp Jupiter, chaos erupted within the Roman camp. Harry fought valiantly alongside the Roman demigods, determined to defend their home against the monstrous attackers. Amidst the clashes of swords and the roar of battle, Octavian's accusing voice cut through the tumult.

"It's him! Potter is the one who brought the giants here!" Octavian's accusation rang out, his tone filled with malice as he pointed a metaphorical finger at Harry from where he lay tied up on the ground.

Ignoring the false accusation, Harry pressed on, his focus unwavering as he continued to battle the encroaching giants. Percy Jackson joined Harry's side, lending his strength to the fight. Together, they fought back the tide of enemies, their swords flashing in the dim light of the battlefield.

Despite the chaos and the accusations hurled his way, Harry remained resolute, determined to protect Camp Jupiter and its inhabitants at all costs. With Percy by his side, he fought with courage and determination, pushing back against the relentless assault of the giants.

"To find your happiness, and reach your full potential, you must become your truest self." Rachel's words echoed in Harry's head as he fought. He looked around when things seemed to quiet around him. He could feel the exhaustion in his body as the magic usage left him feeling tired and drained, but he had to keep going. 'If I'm going to save everyone, I need to become something more,' he thought to himself.

A giant ran towards Percy, yelling, "I'll get you, Son of Poseidon! I was born to oppose your dad!" The ground shuddered at his footsteps.

Harry felt desperation filling him as he hurried to save his friend. He felt his magic rising within him again, but something felt different. "Percy! Out of the way!" Harry didn't know it, but he was starting to glow.

"Close your eyes!" Reina yelled, making her voice carry as only a true leader could. "He's ascending!"

Harry barely noticed the Roman demigods and Percy closing their eyes and covering them. He only knew that he was in pain as his mortal shell burned away. Not even being the "Master of Death" saved him from this. He gritted his teeth as the pain got a little worse, before he was suddenly standing there in his true godly form. Harry looked down at his body, seeing the heavily muscled (but lean) form and what looked like rather long hair. (A/N: Think that one guy from Pretear)

Harry slowly pulled in all that extra power inside, shrinking down to human-size and losing the glow. He would have to master this new power. But first he had to deal with the giants, who had also covered their eyes from the light.

"Harry?" Percy asked.

Harry looked back at him. Percy still had his eyes closed. "It's okay. You can open your eyes."

Percy was the first to open his eyes. "Woah! What happened to your hair?!"

That had the other demigods opening their eyes to look. Harry shrugged. "I don't know." He turned to look at the giants that now seemed worried. "But first, we need to take care of the giants."

"Heck yeah!" Frank said. "Now with you being a god, we actually stand a better chance of surviving." He grinned at Harry… who smiled slightly.

The giants never stood a chance after that. The demigods, buoyed by Harry's new godly status, attacked the giants in full force. A quick jab by Harry, with the knife Octavian had used on him, and the giants were destroyed. The demigods cheered as their enemies were defeated. And then Harry turned to Octavian who still lay where he was and asked, "Reina, what do you want to do with him?"

Reina sighed. "I don't know. We need answers for why he would attack without orders, but I don't want him dead."

Harry nodded. "The questioning is all yours." He remembered the other line in the prophecy Rachel had given him. 'A snake shall reap your wrath' "I will punish him justly after that."

Reina glanced up at him in surprise and nodded. "Very well," she said before turning to Octavian. "Why did you attack Lord Harry?" She ignored the wince from the newest god.

"Because he is a danger to our camp." Octavian sneered. "And now we know that Jackson is a Greek, so we should get rid of him too."

Reina scowled. "How is Lord Harry a threat to the camp?"

"He's a stranger! Probably a Greek too!" Octavian glared at Harry. "I wouldn't put it past Poseidon to have sent both of his sons to our camp to destroy us."

"I'm a Brit," Harry said, harshly. "And, as much as I wouldn't mind it, I'm not Percy's brother by blood."

Percy sent Harry a smile before looking at Octavian. "I wouldn't blame my father if he wanted to destroy this camp. You Romans certainly haven't been honoring him. Hell, you treat Pluto better than Neptune!" Most of the Romans, Reina included, bowed their heads in shame. "Frankly, if there wasn't so much animosity between the two camps, we could probably be friends." Percy sighed, a little sad and drained.

Harry turned to Reina. "Do you have all of the answers you need?"

Reina nodded. "You may punish him however you wish. I wash my hands of him. I need a new Auger," she muttered the last bit to herself.

"Very well," Harry said. He turned to the furious, but shocked, former auger. "For your sneaky ways against your leader, and the attack on my person, you will spend one week as a snake... defanged and poison-less... or until you learn to respect your leader and not be so power hungry. I will only let you off the hook early if someone asks me to. But then you'll spend the rest of your punishment time doing whatever that person says." Harry smirked a little cruelly. Payback was a bitch...
