What PJ's Characters Are Seeing and Hearing
The next chapter has references to fanfics, as well as small glimpses of ideas I had, but I don't think I will do
Confusion, curiosity and various questions arose in the half-breeds, as well as fear due to the reactions that the kings of Atlantis, the Underworld and Olympus were having, which is why none of them dared to express their doubts beyond doing so in a whisper or in a low voice, but they also had other emotions such as surprise, Disbelief, envy, suspicion, a bit of denial and distrust towards the sea demigod who was being shown in the projection, but there was also towards the peculiar mortals who have shown themselves or even some of their own companions by what they saw their 'future' versions do.
As was the case with Charles, who along with his brothers and other members of the Greek camp were looking with suspicion at Luke Castellan, Alabaster and others for the actions of their future counterparts, wondering if these visions were a warning that they would betray their fellow demigods, if so the question was why?... Just for money... it didn't make sense.
While others wanted to refuse to suspect one of the main leaders of the half-blood camp, brothers and friends, such as Annabeth, Thalia, other children of Hermes.
Because of this, they noticed the reactions that Luke and others had had, which depending on who was watching them, made him more suspicious or tried to convince himself that they was just nervous that they was accused of something they did not commit. While those Greek demigods who were aware of Kronos' return just wanted to escape from there, thinking they had a better chance since the duplicates of Rhea and Hestia took away the younger and more ignorant half-breeds who appeared closer to the door, so they now had fewer obstacles if they ran. And at the same time they were curious, envious, annoyed and somewhat resigned to everything they had heard the son of the sea say in the projection...
"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..."
As it was the existence of other pantheons that had surprised them, as well as made them more resentful that the gods kept this information hidden, even now they did not explain anything about it and some deities avoided looking at them.
"Do you know that son of Poseidon?" Thalia asked Annabeth, while inwardly she continued to struggle with how much her friends had grown and aged. But now she was also bothered by the clothes she was wearing, as they were too small for her.
"No, I have never met a son of Poseidon," replied Athena's daughter, but she had already thought that perhaps she would in the future
"Perhaps because he hasn't reached the camp yet," said the son of Hermes, having thought the same as Chase, but then he asked something else. "Annabeth, what do you know about gods from other pantheons?"
"Only what I've read of books about myths and legends," replied the gray-eyed girl
"And why did you read about other pantheons?" asked the oldest of the three again
"I got bored after reading only about Greek mythology. So I thought reading about other mythologies might be helpful or I'd just see how they compare to the Olympians, since I wasn't sure they existed"
The black-haired woman who appeared to be 14 years old and blond 19 years looked at the youngest of them, while internally the oldest reprimanded himself for not thinking about something like that, since his father and the Olympians could have enemies in other pantheons, in addition to thinking that perhaps because of her curiosity, Annabeth discovered the existence of other pantheons in the future. For her part, Thalía wondered several more things, since running away from home after her brother 'died' and living on the street while fleeing monsters, there were many things she did not know. (1)
But the projection changed and surprised everyone again, when they saw Jackson who looked to be 25 years old and was standing on a gigantic root of a tree in a huge and strange jungle, while looking at the starry sky...
But the strangest thing was that there were eight moons in the sky
"WHERE IN HADES AM I?!" Perseus shouted to the night skies
Everyone shared the question of the surprised adult at the projection, though no one said it out loud when the image changed again to show him wandering in a desert, but you could see two suns in the sky
The vast majority of the spectators turned their heads to look at the king of Atlantis, among them were the other sea deities, but Poseidon paid no attention to any of them as he had his full attention on the projection screen, internally wondering over and over again how it was possible that his son had ended up in only Chaos knows where.
"Maybe what I'm about to say sounds stupid" Hermes was the one who spoke, capturing everyone's attention "But is it just me or did the son of Poseidon somehow end up on ANOTHER PLANET?" at the end he raised his voice, which was the clear evidence of how surprised he was
Many wondered the same thing, but couldn't tell when the screen showed Percy who now looked to be 18 years old while he was training with several men wearing peculiar white armor, and then saw Perseus holding a sort of cylinder, only for a blade made of orange light to emerge from it
"What?"
"Where did he get that?"
"What kind of weapon is that?"
"Where the hell did he get that?"
Hephaestus, his sons, the sons of Ares and some others uttered several exclamations of amazement at the futuristic sword held by the son of the sea.
Then they saw Perseus training with an orange-skinned woman with what looked like tattoos on her skin, and no one was sure how to describe what she had instead of hair, while she was using another sword only this one was blue instead of orange
—{You learn fast}—
The woman said in a language unknown to everyone, which they could only understand from the subtitles in various languages that appeared at the bottom of the screen
"{Thank you Shaak}," Percy replied to the woman
"{When it comes to fighting}," the woman known as Shaak added before saying, "{But being a Jedi is more than just fighting}"
"Jedi?"
"What's a Jedi?"
Several wondered what the woman who wasn't human meant, but they didn't know what she was either
"{The good thing is I'm not a Jedi}" Perseus replied with a smile and a shrug
"{I know}," she said, reflecting Perseus' smile
"Am I the only one who believes that she is an alien?" some asked their companions such as Hermes, his sons Travis, Connor, Chris, some sons of Ares, of Hephaestus, and those who heard them did not know what to answer, although some looked at them as if they had said something idiotic
Then the picture changed to show various military camps during the night, with the men who were wearing the white armor and Percy with them, where they could see different night skies
"Artemis, do you recognize any constellations?" Hermes asked his sister, since she had one of the domains related to the night sky
"No," the goddess and moon of the hunt was slow to answer, as she couldn't identify any of the night skies that were shown, no position of the stars matched
"...Other planets then," Hermes said as a conclusion to what they were seeing.
A conclusion that was only reinforced when everyone saw various places, whether cities, towns, forests, jungles, mountains and much more, where they could see humans living with beings that were not, as well as several carrying a cylinder similar to that of Perseus and the woman called Shaak, although most of them wore a kind of tunic. Besides seeing that in most places people used technology that seemed much more advanced than that of mortals on Earth, or that some of the men in white armor who took off their helmets, had the same face
"In the name of Chaos, what did you get yourself into?"Poseidon thought as he ignored the doubts spoken aloud by various surprised individuals throughout the throne room, at the same time questioning whether this was the result of having broken his oath, but if so why did not the same happen with his brothers' children, only then he remembered something Percy said at another time about his son's 'future'...
Three old ladies are very bored and find fun with me...
"Why would the moirae be so interested in you?"The god of the seas wondered just before the image changed again
Now the screen showed Percy who looked to be 18 years old and there was a man very much like him, as if he were an older version of the son of the sea as he looked to be 30 years old. The only reason they didn't think it was Poseidon was because the gods could sense that he was a demigod, only Hebe and others like the gods of the underworld could realize that man was thousands of years old
Although both sons of the sea were seated at a table with a beautiful woman who had Native American features, who only exuded divinity not mortality, unlike another man who had the same eyes as the king of Olympus
Many could hear Hera's growl, with Zeus feeling his annoyance increased at the sight of another supposed son of his, plus he could also feel Hades' gaze on him
"Maybe she needs to get away from Olympus for a while," Oceanus said to his wife quietly
"It would be several years or decades, if everything we hear is true," his wife added
For his part, the king of the underworld was not at all upset, as his confusion and surprise was greater, as he could see that the soul of Zeus' son on the screen was thousands of years old, but since it was possible for a son of his brother to have remained hidden for so long, the same was true of Poseidon's children, for the soul of the older of the two was the same as the demigod who was with Hestia.
How did Hades know that?... Because he felt when Bellerophon and the other demigods of the past appeared on Olympus, since they had been touched by death. At that moment Hades had not claimed anything because there were more pressing priorities.
As for Perseus Jackson on the screen, he was the one who had him most surprised because this was a god, and no doubt the most observant gods noticed it, since Hades could see the reaction of the other deities, who tensed, because like him, they could realize that the divinity of his nephew on the screen, despite being contained in some unknown way, was much more powerful than all of them. the gods present together.
"They should have told me they were demigods," said the beautiful woman as she served dinner to everyone. "I mean, I felt they were different, but I wasn't sure. I know a lot about those in your classW
"Demigod," blurted out some of those who could sense the divine power in the future Perseus Jackson, in a very, very low voice, because he wasn't.
"Selu is a goddess of agriculture and corn. We've been together for almost three hundred years. Next month is our 311th anniversary," said Poseidon's other son
Trystan McLean couldn't help but say in total surprise, as it was the name of the great female spirit that the Cherokee natives worshipped and his daughter was just as surprised to learn some of the stories of her ancestors that her grandfather told them, but as far as they knew she was a spirit, not a goddess. In addition to that she was married to another Cherokee spirit, although some stories said that her own children killed her
"Um...! Congdatulatons!" Percy said with his mouth full.
"Don't talk with food in your mouth!" Selu scolded him. "Gods, he really is your brother. Are all the sons of Poseidon like this?"
"What is that supposed to mean?!" Triton complained, before hearing some of his sisters laugh briefly in a low voice "It's not funny!"
"Just relax!" Kym said, ignoring the look that followed
Only Poseidon's heir didn't notice that his mother smiled slightly at the remark about her husband's offspring, even though said husband had been about to get into an argument with his younger brother
"How dare your son-"
"For Chaos's sake! We have no idea what's going on!" Poseidon interrupted his brother's complaint, who was still not paying attention to the demigods or noticing that the image that the Romans had of him and the rest of the gods is fracturing "If you let yourself act so paranoid, we could understand what is happening"
"What happened to them?" was the question that the Titans of the Sea had on their minds, at the same time that they regretted not spending more time on the surface to find out, since the few times they visited the surface to update a little with the changes of the world, they usually stayed near the sea, on some beach or coast usually.
"Aaahhhhh!" a cry of pain coming from the projection could be heard, again attracting the attention of all the spectators where they saw again Perseus who appeared to be 23 years old who was thrown several meters, while holding a long combat staff made of metal in one hand
Poseidon reflexively clenched his trident when he and the others saw that the future version of his son lying on the ground had a broken nose, split lips, and horrific bruises all over his body and face
"{Can you still continue?} "The Son of the Sea's opponent was a humanoid ape holding a metal staff
"Is that Chinese?" asked the few mestizos and legates who recognized the language like the Zhang family
While the gods were again amazed at the divine being who was fighting against the son of the sea
"{Just give me a moment}," replied the son of the sea as particles of water gathered on his body to begin to heal his wounds. "{How come you are so strong?}" he asked when he was able to sit up without pain.
"Are they training?" said some spectators, surprised at how calm the two were, while most of the half-breeds tried to identify the humanoid ape, even some gods, since only a few immediately recognized him as Sun Wukong, the monkey king.
"{It's not my fault that the Greeks and Romans don't know how to really fight}," Sun Wukong replied mockingly and amusedly, as if it were an irrevocable fact
Most of all onlookers were offended by what the monkey king said
"I will castrate you," some huntresses murmured, making plans to hunt him, they were not the only ones, children of Ares, Athena, the goddess herself and several others made plans or oaths about making him regret saying that
Perseus, for his part, only snorted before standing up with his staff, since the wounds he had had healed quickly with the water that accumulated in his body.
"At least you're learning," Sun Wukong said, taking a fighting stance, just like the son of the sea
Few like Poseidon, the sea deities, Hecate and other gods, paid attention to the speed with which the son of the sea healed all the bruises that covered his body and face, as well as his broken nose and split lips. Although the demigods and legates did pay close attention to it.
"That would be very useful," Goddess Rhodes thought as she looked at her half-brother, if he had inherited such a gift, it would be of great help to him during training.
Young Percy didn't know why, but he had a bad feeling, so he looked suspiciously around him, especially at the black-haired woman with sea green eyes who was staring at him for a brief moment in a strange way that made him very nervous.
But back on the screen, everyone could see that Perseus' arms were uncovered, as well as other body parts that were uncovered such as his neck and head, where he began to subtly glow exactly where his veins were with a color that looked like a mix between gold and green.
Perseus launched the attack against Sun Wukong, at an unreal speed, which seemed to be on par when they saw and heard him whistling against the unknown blond god who used a trident, so no half-breed was able to keep up with the combat and some gods were in the same situation. But the gods who could keep up with the pace of combat or training, could see that the Monkey King matched the speed with ease, and similarly blocked each of the son of the sea's attacks.
Seeing the difference in skill between the two individuals on the screen, along with comparing it to the best members of the Roman legion or half-blood camp, the demigods, legates, and others were both concerned and amazed.
But the astonishment and concern increased when Perseus was again shown fighting against individuals and divine or supernatural beings from other pantheons, which proved to be far more dangerous than those of the Greco-Roman pantheon. Fights where they could see that the son of the sea had to fight with everything to survive and win.
"They wouldn't stand a chance."
Individuals like Chiron or Nike were the ones who were worried, because if any of the mestizos were to face someone from another pantheon, they would not have a chance.
"They'll regret it."
Others, such as Zeus or Hera, put aside paranoia about internal enemies within Olympus for the time being, to focus on the threat they were perceiving from other pantheons or at least the divine pantheon of China and Japan, which are the ones they have seen so far.
Half-breeds such as the descendants of Aphrodite or the more distant legates were very worried about running into one of these creatures, some had even prayed that they would never run into one without realizing it.
"How did he get it?"
"How is he so strong?"
"Is this what the children of the sea are like?"
Others, however, such as the most ambitious legionaries who wanted to be praetors or have a position in the senate, some of the most resentful Greeks like Luke or Thalia whose fatal defect arose for a moment, wondered how it was possible that the son of the sea was so strong, how did he get that strength and power?...
"Greek"
"Roman"
"Ancient Greek"
"Greek and Roman"
On the other hand, Theseus, Hades, Hippolytus, Heracles and some others analyzed the way Percy Jackson fought that was shown in the various confrontations, where they could see that in some confrontations his style was like the ancient Greek, in others the Roman, others showed a mixture of both, but they also saw that some had the tattoo of the legionaries, while others don't,
Just as they noticed that in some visions where Percy Jackson had the Roman tattoo, it had more or less service stripes, just as they noticed that the scars that Sally Jackson's son possessed seemed to vary in shape, size, and place on his arms, face, and other parts of the body.
Chiron was also among this group as he noticed in some of the visions that the son of Poseidon seemed to use the style of ancient Greece, while in others he used the modern version that the old coach teaches campers, which he created by adding the forms of fighting that were used in France, England, Spain, and more nations as the centuries passed and theWestern Civilization shifted.
Hades on the other hand was more confused as he noticed that the souls in some of the different visions seemed to be the exact same age, but Jackson was fighting very differently, with different enemies, just as the divinity in his nephew could be stronger or weaker, the way he reacted, the way he was-
"Is something wrong?" Persephone asked her husband in a low voice when she noticed how focused he was on the projections.
"I think... I don't think they're visions of the future," Hades said
"No?"
"I don't think so... they are too detailed, we can feel the divinity of the son of Poseidon, who varies too much in his power..."
She didn't say anything as she listened to him say the facts he seemed to have put together
"In some... fragments, he seems to be more accustomed to fighting than in others. You can also see that he had better control over the gifts he inherited than in others... and several other things..."
"But if they are not visions, what are they?" she asked
"I don't know, and part of that also happened with the daughter of Zeus and I don't understand what those strange mortals have to do with it"
#(1) Thalia is supposed to have run away from home after her mother gave Jason to Juno, to appease her, she was supposed to be 9 years old then, so she ran away from home between the ages of 9-10.
