What PJ's Characters Are Seeing and Hearing
Explanations will begin in Chapter 8.
The next chapter has references to fanfics, as well as small glimpses of ideas I had, but I don't think I will do
If anyone thinks that the chapter goes too fast, it is because in this chapter the 'projection' will not stop for the characters present on Olympus. It will show various events to Percy's Greco-Romans interacting with other pantheons
Paranoia and worry was what most of the gods in the hall of the Olympic Council felt, from the moment they sensed the divinity of other Pantheons when they saw unusual mortals fighting unknown gods, but who had a presence very similar to some of the council members, such as Poseidon and Hades.
However, most of the paranoia in some deities was because they were able to sense the divinity of some of the gods that live on Olympus at the same time that they felt divinity very similar to that they felt from the gods of the other pantheons of the world, of the encounters they have had throughout history. But this is as if their 'future versions' or at least gods very similar to them or in some way related to them, were right next to the gods of other pantheons.
Because of this, some gods were looking suspiciously at their divine companions, Zeus being the main one, as he found himself looking in distrust and suspicion at both the lesser gods and their elder brothers, thinking that once again these 'visions of the future' proved their beliefs. While the other gods who were less paranoid and only few wondered the reasons why 'some of them' would be with gods from other pantheons or how it was possible for several different pantheons to be in one place, after all the pantheons of the world didn't have the best history between them.
While the concern was that the gods had spent the last few hundred years hiding the existence of other pantheons from the demigods, just as they hid the existence of the Romans from the Greeks and vice versa, only the difference was that they did it out of pride, not to avoid wars like those that occurred between the two camps.
Although the concern of a few, such as Poseidon, his older sister or his mother, was that it seemed that Percy Jackson's luck would be even stranger and more chaotic than the rest of Poseidon's children or any other Greco-Roman demigod.
Even so, only a few deities were focused on the projection and the origin of it, as they continued to think that there was more to what they saw, that they were not mere visions, that this was more than some kind of clairvoyance.
However, paranoia and worry were mixed with confusion because nothing was clear about the 'future' so they agreed with Apollo when he spoke earlier about the visions not being clear, and the confusion only increased when they saw the beautiful but athletic woman with tanned skin and red eyes.
"{Don't worry, Calypso. She's a friend}"
"{That's a funny word, you bastard!}
"{Hey Rumi... long time no see}"
"What kind of friends does he have? It seems that he would get along well with Artemis" although Bentesicime's doubt and comment was because of the woman's apparent personality, the others shared his opinion in certain respects. Some of which were Rumi's appearance, as she had red eyes, along with bunny ears, and these didn't look like a clothing accessory or fake, others because of the way she greeted Percy, while others wondered about the speed and strength she showed with the kick that blocked the son of Poseidon and finally there were those who could feel divinity coming from her, even though she was a mortal.
"Tsukuyomi," thought Apollo as he recognized the essence of the moon's dominion in woman, recognizing this even though it has been decades since he last encountered a god from Japan, despite his visits, though perhaps it was for the best, since Olympus has been in New York for a long time, and the Shinto gods did not have a good opinion of the Greco-Romans since World War II "Why a mortal?" Leto's son questions what was so special about this mortal, so that one of the strongest gods in Japan would bless her.
Only Apollo was confused again when the image changed to show Perseus training with Rumi, but this time there was no divinity in her, and she seemed slower and less strong, yet both were proving to be out of the ordinary in strength and speed.
"{Is that all?}" Perseus asked Rumi with a smile as he blocked a punch followed by a kick
"{I'm just warming up!}" Rumi replied without stopping attacking
Everyone could see that the two of them were having fun
"Is this before she was blessed?"Apollo wondered at the lack of divinity that existed a few moments ago in the woman with red eyes
"Is that Chinese?"
"Is that Japanese?"
He said that some of the demigods asking out loud, being from the Greek side like Ethan, Selina or Charles, having heard the tourists talking something similar, although then they did not understand it, while now they, like everyone else who did not know the language, the projection had subtitles to understand.
"In the Hades, what's that?"
"¡By Chaos!
"Is that magic?"
"What are those symbols?"
"By Jupiter!"
Several exclaimed as Annabeth just like her brothers, Hecate's sons, the legionaries and many more when the image changed to show another training, where the woman was now on the defensive, while Perseus now had part of her body covered by various marks that were glowing.
"Glyphs?" commented the more intellectual ones like Athena
"Tattoos?" most of the demigods wondered about the marks, which when they appeared also covered the torso of the son of the sea because of the ones they could see on the neck and where the arms meet the shoulders.
At the word "tattoos," Sally almost looks reproachfully at her son, or at least she would have if they were normal and didn't shine.
"Don't start, Zeus!" exclaimed Poseidon when he saw that his younger brother was about to speak, no doubt feeling like all the other gods that Perseus' power had increased with those marks on his body.
"I think it's more important to ask ourselves, how is it that a mortal is so strong?" sHades said, being more curious about that fact than to distract Zeus, since neither of them felt the divinity of a few moments ago, although his question distracted his younger brother.
(1)"Greeks... Romans... Etruscans..." Athena murmured as she recognizes the style and shape of some of the glyphs, although she had difficulty due to the fact that the two individuals in the projection were training, but of the glyphs she could distinguish, these were only half, although the others looked similar in some aspects.
"Atlantean," thought the deities of the sea and the ocean as they recognized the glyphs that Athena could not, because they were in Atlantean, the very language of Poseidon's kingdom, although the subjects of the kingdom spoke many languages such as the different dialects of Ancient Greek or Ancient Latin.
"Did Father bless him?" Herophile said quietly to her sisters, but she was also heard by the other members of the marine family
For their part, the demigods knew that the markings were not normal even though most of them did not recognize them, nor what they were for, and several were thinking that it was part of the reason why the son of the sea survived so long. Thought that led them to wonder why the son of the sea had them, generating various theories: that it was the reward of a search, a gift from Poseidon himself, favoritism for being the son of one of the big 3, and several other theories.
With some of the theories causing some of the demigods to resent their divine progenitors more or become jealous of the son of the sea.
But then the image changed again to show...
"Shut your mouth, you dirty dog! No one can force me to do something I don't want to do, not the gods, not this wretched mongrel!"
"How dare he!?" Zeus bellowed as the screen showed a red-eyed blond man in golden armor
"By Chaos," said Têthys at Zeus' attitude
"What happened to him?" Oceanus asked at Zeus's attitude, addressing no one in particular, at the same time as him, his wife, and most of the gods realized that the blond on the screen wasn't a mortal, and they could feel some divinity emanating from him, but it was something else.
But he wasn't the only individual like that, for they could see many more individuals, wherever they were, with Perseus being there as well, appearing to be 18 or 19 years old, and he was the only one with anything deadly about him and once again he had his two arms
"Who is that?" they saw and heard Percy ask some girls who looked to be between 12 and 14 years old
"Ha, you see?, he's just a mongrel who doesn't even know his superiors!"
Listening to the blonde, many couldn't help but compare him to the most arrogants of the gods, while many of those present were annoyed at his words.
"Is he Greek?"
"No," replied the young woman who had hair and a peculiar shade of blue
"Roman?"
"Neither," replied the purple-haired girl
"Egyptian, Nordic?"
"Egyptian?"
"Nordic?"
The gods tensed at the questions asked by the demigods and legates, as well as ignored the glances they gave them for answers, which only caused frustration and annoyance, especially to the most resentful.
For their part, several gods such as Zeus, Athena, Hera and others were sending furious looks to Poseidon, who ignored them as he wondered what was going on with his son. " "What kind of damn luck does he have?"
"None of those... how come you know them?" asked the purple-haired girl, who gave Athena and Poseidon a familiar feeling, as if they had known her
"Three old women get very bored and have fun with me"
"Three old women?" some repeated or asked, only for after a few brief seconds several of them to turn pale as few beings are described this way.
"I don't... it's not possible," muttered Poseidon, not realizing that he wasn't the only one.
"I still don't know who that guy is."
Despite being tense and worried because it was basically a fact that the secret about the existence of other pantheons could no longer be hidden, both the gods and the demigods, legates and mortals were looking at the blond who was getting more and more annoyed by how the son of the sea spoke a couple of meters away from him, So he abruptly pushed aside a boy with light blue hair and goggles, with the purpose of standing in front of the son of the god of the sea.
"Listen to me, mongrel! I am Gilgamesh, King of Uruk, the first hero in history and the King of Heroes! Two-thirds of me are divine and the rest are human..."
"Mesopotamians too," Rhode commented without realizing that he said it out loud, and couldn't help but look in the direction of where Sally Jackson and her son were, realizing how worried the mortal was, but now she could see her half-brother, who was in the same state, due to Oceanus altering the veil he put on the boy, in case he has to be taken out of there and it is his granddaughter who has to take her half-brother out of Olympus.
But they couldn't finish listening to the tirade of the king of Uruk, because the image changed to show Percy in what looked like an oriental shrine talking to a man in traditional clothes, and again Sally Jackson's son had only one arm, while the other was a prosthesis
"{... I need to talk to your boss}"
"{I'm afraid I don't understand, young man. I am in charge of this sanctuary}"
Few like Apollo immediately recognized that Poseidon's son was speaking again in Japanese, but they were wondering why he was in the sanctuary of a foreign god.
"{That's not what... Never mind. SUSANOO!" At the cry of Percy Jackson, the mortal was going to complain to him for screaming in a sacred place, but he froze, just before a sea fog emerged out of nowhere and from this a black-haired man, with a great body and unnaturally attractive. And those present on Olympus could smell a sea breeze.
"¡POSEIDON!" Zeus was not the only one who claimed this time the king of Atlantis, Hades, Hera, Athena, Demeter, even the wife of the king of the sea, in the face of the 'future' actions of his demigod son
"We don't know what's going on!" was the only thing Poseidon said before his and everyone else's attention returned to the screen as Percy Jackson was shown fighting other deities, all of whom were wearing oriental clothing.
One of the gods was fighting Perseus in a forest and using a bow, while another was fighting Perseus with a sword in the city, with both of them flying, only the eastern god was doing so over a strange water-terrestrial creature.
Zeus growled at the sight of Poseidon's son in 'his domains', as well as the eastern god
"Is he arrogant enough to go fight with other Pantheons?!" Artemis couldn't help but exclaim, earning an annoyed look from her father and the god of earthquakes, as well as other looks from the half-bloods.
"I doubt that," said Hephaestus
"It's true, we saw him older, not to mention the way he fights and the power we can feel," Macaria said, agreeing with her cousin. In addition to also earning several looks from those who were not gods and some of these, while the screen changed again.
They all saw Perseus speaking on a bridge in the traditional style of the East, while talking to another man who, like the previous ones, exuded a presence that only the gods had, in addition to the power felt by the deities
"Oh where are my manners, I am Tsukuyomi, god of the moon," said the god
"In the name of Pontus, what did your son get himself into?" Amphitrite hissed at her husband, she may not like her husband's children, but she wasn't Hera, besides this stepson of hers seemed more tolerable than most with what they'd seen, but no one had gotten into this kind of trouble before
"Only Chaos knows," Poseidon replied, but his wife and children could hear some defeat in his voice, they weren't sure if they imagined it or not, but they didn't, the stormbringer was wondering if this would be the result of his broken oath.
But his sense of defeat increased when the screening showed his son fighting monsters from other Pantheons, where he saw him fighting an oriental dragon, some aquatic creatures, floating heads with a mouth with pointed teeth on the nape of the neck, a beautiful woman from the waist up, but her underside was that of a giant spider.
With other members of the spectators...
Pessimistic feelings of guilt and worry were driving Sally Jackson to the brink as she watched her son in deadly struggles over and over again.
"Mom..." young Percy's voice managed to snap her out of her thoughts and made her look at her 12-year-old son, who was watching with fear and worry about his apparent future
"Percy..." He heard the pain in his mother's voice and when he looked at her face he could see the tears she had shed.
The demigods for their part had for the moment stopped most of their jealousy and resentment of the gods, seeing monsters and beings from other pantheons, as when the image changed to show what looked like some kind of giants made of ice and others of fire, very strange animals, some of which looked like a cross between an animal and a plant, rock, etc. Others with very strange shapes, which made them realize what the eldest Perseus wanted to say to the other demigods:
"You really don't have the slightest idea what's in the world. And I'm just talking about this world to begin with"
The words echoed in the minds of some, what else was there in the world?, how many monsters were out there that seemed more dangerous than the monsters they know and for which an unknown number of demigods have died?.
Viewers' concerns and confusion increased once again when the screening showed another.
But viewers' concerns and confusion increased once again when the projection changed to show Perseus again with his two arms, while he looked 18 or 19 years old, in some nightclub that was a complete mess, while a lot of gunshots could be heard nearby
The son of the sea was looking at a red-haired woman over 2 meters tall with muscle, and yet she was beautiful, biesides she was wearing green armor and a mace
"Great... You're a battle maniac." Perseus Jackson spoke angrily to the woman
"I hope you don't break so easily," the red-haired woman said before attacking him
The next thing they saw was that the projection was divided to show various moments of the fight, everyone could see them fighting hand-to-hand in one of these, where the woman with a strange and unknown divinity was demonstrating her superhuman physical capabilities.
In another of the divisions both were fighting with their respective weapons, Perseus's being a sword made of bone.
They also saw other moments when the black-haired man used his powers over water to fight, as well as lightning bolts inherited from his father, the bringer of storms.
"Who the Hades is she?" said Hermes at the woman's prowess in combat, but he was also surprised by his cousin's
None of the half-breeds, whether Greeks, Romans, Amazons, or huntresses, could deny that if any of them fought the red-haired woman, they would surely be dead. They could not believe the speed that Perseus showed in attacking or the resistance to the blows he received, which must have broken his arms, ribs and other parts of his body where he received them
Zeus despite his paranoia and annoyance at seeing that his nephew was using one of 'his domains' again, conveniently forgetting that his brother was the bringer of the storms, was more concerned about the goddess of an unknown pantheon that everyone saw. He was hardly the only one, especially when the divisions disappeared, showing only a moment.
"Did you really think your little magic tricks would work, Atlantean?" the woman said when Perseus attacked her with blades made of water and had almost no effect against the green armor, and then she punched him hard in the chest that sent him flying. "This is Apokoliptian armor. It was forged by master craftsmen in the bowels of Apokolips to resist the power of beings far more powerful than you."
"Apokoliptian /Apokolips?" many couldn't help but say the words they heard for the first time in the history of the Greco-Roman pantheon and many gods shared glances with each other, worried that they are a future enemy.
"But if you want to fight properly, then it's only fair." The redhead pressed, her expression changed to one of disappointment. "I was getting bored anyway. You may not be Aquaman, but at least I was hoping for more fight, Atlantean."
"Aquaman, wasn't that the name they called him before?" said Apollo, as did several others in various parts of the Olympic Council hall, as it caused them more confusion.
While the Perseus on the screen stood up after spitting out some blood, only to acquire an annoyed look, almost furious at the redhead's words and any liquid from the place reached his person, covering him like a kind of armor and various electrical lighting began to run through his body, in addition to making the liquid that covered him boil.
"This woman looks like a female version of Ares," Hebe remarked to her husband, when the redhead smiled at the power that the son of the sea released in the face of his fury. But the god of strength only nodded, but looked very carefully at the projection
"I was expecting Wonder Woman, but you'll serve as a warm-up, Atlantean."
"I'm not Atlantean!"
Triton and some other of the gods of Atlantis were for a moment offended by the claim of Sally Jackson's son
"So what are you?-"
"Where did she come from?!" many exclaimed that phrase or variations of it when the demigoddess sight who was the daughter of Zeus, also known as Diana came out of nowhere and hit the redhead woman, sending her flying against a wall, which she went through.
Others were more surprised by the force of Diana's blow, which made them wonder if like Hercules, she gained the same superhuman strength. But they couldn't delve into that thought, because the image changed again to show Perseus again fighting the red-haired goddess.
"Ready for the second round, Atlantean?" The redhead grunted as she pointed her bridled mace at him.
"Again, I 'm not an Atlantean," Percy growled
"So what are you?" The woman asked mockingly.
"I'm the son of Poseidon, bitch!"
"Then a demigod of an Insignificant God"
"WHAT?!" the voice of Poseidon thundered so loud that half-breeds, mortals, and some gods had ringing ears
But despite his screaming, everyone was so surprised that anyone would dare to refer to Poseidon like that, who was annoyed with the red-haired goddess on screen, but was left with the annoyance when the screen changed again to show Perseus, this time in talking to the some of the individuals they saw earlier inside a kind of green bubble, But their clothes looked a little different.
"Annabeth" Athena, Thalia, Luke, and a few others couldn't help but say, when they saw a woman who appeared to be 25-year-old Anabeth Chase, a few others noticed that Perseus looked the same age.
But what everyone noticed was that they were dressed in some sort of tactical suits
"Wow, wow, wow, wait a minute," said the one in the reddish armor with the strange and unknown energy. "If you are demigods, what does that mean to God, with a capital 'G'?"
Many of the Greek campers couldn't help but remember asking a similar question at some point when they found out they were children of Greek gods.
"We've never met him, not even an angel or a demon. But we know from a good source that Thor, the thunder god of Norse mythology, once challenged Jesus to a duel, take it as you will..."
Another of the secrets of the gods comes to light and more questions arise, How does Sally Jackson and Poseidon's son end up in these problems?, How and why are you involved with other pantheons? Apokolips? More questions, but no answers. But only a few are beginning to realize that the dangers within the Greco-Roman pantheon are just the tip of the iceberg.
(1)
The Etruscans were a people of unknown origin, inhabitants of central Italy, who eventually integrated themselves into the Roman Empire and Roman mythology.
Very few Etruscan texts have survived: only two short, incomplete and a modest number of recorded inscriptions, the Etruscan language as such is still not well understood.
Some Etruscan equivalents:
Achile: Also Achle. Legendary hero of the Trojan War. Equivalent of the Greek Achilles.
Aita: Also Eita. God of the underworld and ruler of death, equated with the Greek Hades and the Roman Pluto.
Cel: Also Cilens or Celens. Terrestrial deity, equivalent to the Greek Gaia. Represented as Ati Cel ("Father Earth") or Apa Cel ("Mother Earth").
Culsans: God of gates and portals, corresponding to the two-faced Roman god Janus.
Fufluns: Also Puphluns. God of plants, happiness, health, and growth in all things. He was the son of Semia and was worshipped at Fufluna or Pupluna, which the Romans called Populonia. It was briefly adopted by the Romans, but was quickly replaced by other Italic fertility gods. He would have been the equivalent of Bacchus (Dionysus) under the name Pacha .
Hercle: Also Herc or Horacle. Etruscan form of the legendary hero known to the Greeks as Heracles and to the Romans as Hercules, associated with fortress and water. The difference between the Greek and Roman names of this figure is the result of Etruscan influence on the Romans.
Menrva: Also Menarva. Goddess of wisdom, war, art, schools and commerce. She is the Etruscan counterpart of the Greek Athena and the Roman Minerva. Like Athena, Menrvawas born from the head of her father, Tinia. Menrva, Tinia and Uni were part of a triad of ruling gods. Menrva found men unpleasant.
Nethuns: God of fountains, he later expanded to all types of waters, including the sea. He was supposedly the same as the Greek god Poseidon and the Roman Neptune.
Tinia: Shortened to Tins. Chief of the Etruscan gods, ruler of the heavens, husband of Uni, and father of Hercle. Associated with the Greek Zeus and the Roman Jupiter.
Uni: Supreme goddess of Etruscan mythology, wife of Tinia. With Tinia and Menrva, she was a member of the ruling triad of Etruscan deities. Uni was the equivalent of the Roman Juno, whose name would have derived from Uni, and the Greek Hera.
