"Ugh, that took way too long," Percy groaned as he flopped himself on the couch.
"You tell me," Zoe groaned in agreement before flopping down on top of him, earning a groan from Percy.
"Zoe, as much as I enjoy being so close, my body is hurting and I wouldn't want anything more than a good nap at the moment,"
Zoe couldn't judge him for that since she was in a similar state and the sound of a nap was very enticing.
"Okay, I'll take a shower and then meet you at our bed," Zoe said before pushing herself off Percy's back, causing him to groan more.
"I feel the love," He muttered to himself low enough so that Zoe wouldn't hear him.
"You okay?" The sweet and caring voice of a Titaness interrupted his silence a couple of minutes later.
Percy slowly got up from laying on his front to properly sit down and look at Calypso. The Titaness was wearing more mundane clothes than the ones she wore on her island. She was currently wearing a yellow blouse along with gray sports shorts for women and was barefooted.
Percy eyed the gorgeous Titaness in front of him for half a second before looking back into her eyes. If it weren't for the fact that Percy was currently dating Calypso's younger sister, then he would definitely be enjoying Calypso's figure, but as previously said, he was currently in a happy relationship.
Calypso noticed Percy's momentarily wandering eyes on her body making her mentally smirk at being successful with her attire's motive. The Titaness was no oblivious girl and knew that she had an amazing body that many Titans desired back before she was incarcerated. Even a few gods visit her island with the promise of freeing her if she has sex with them, but she always denied their offers.
"Yeah, just tired from all of the teleporting around and talking more people into our side," Percy let out a tired sigh while rubbing his face with both of his hands.
"You both have been gone for a couple of days," Calypso said with a frown, clearly not happy that Zoe had spent days away with Percy. "Was beginning to worry when you didn't come back the next day but Nyx told me the entire time difference,"
Percy nodded before standing up and stretching a bit. "We were gone for a couple of days here but it was about 14 hours for us," Calypso nodded and was about to say something else but Percy started heading out. "I'll be seeing you later, Calypso, I'll go and take a shower before heading off to sleep. The last 14 hours have been really exhausting with so much teleporting around. See you,"
Calypso watched in disappointment Percy's retreating form as he went upstairs. She sighed as she realized that it was going to be hard to win Percy's heart back. However, if she had waited millennia to find the perfect man, she could wait until her sister fucks up and take the opportunity to steal back Percy.
With newfound determination, the Titaness headed out of the mansion and into the courtyard to train her powers.
Line Break
"Why are you calling me?" A suspicious and tired Thalia asked the floating image of Katie Gardener in Iris's message in front of her. "It is around 2 in the morning and I don't appreciate being awoken in my sleep,"
The blonde daughter of Demeter sheepishly rubbed the back of her head before muttering an apology. "Yeah, sorry about that. But I have some news for you but they are better discussed in person, so I wanted to know when can you meet with me and a few others?"
Thalia disbelieving looked at the blonde girl in the mist in front of her. "Did you seriously just call me in the middle of the night for that?! Couldn't have you just done it during the day?!"
Katie just smiled apologetically. "Sorry, but this is really important and the less number of people know about this, the better," Thalia just raised a challenging eyebrow at her cousin. "Sorry, but this is really important and something that will interest you since it is about a cousin of ours," She suggestively said while making a trident with her fingers.
Thalia's eyes widened when she noticed the figure in Katies' fingers and immediately nodded. "Yeah, I can be there tomo- well, later today around midday, just need to let Artemis know that I'll be visiting camp for a couple of hours,"
Katie's face contorted into a scowl when Thalia mentioned Artemis, which confused the daughter of Zeus, but the daughter of Demeter nodded. "Okay, I'll let the others know and come to the old place where the Council of Cloven elders used to have their meetings,"
Thalia just nodded before Katie swatted her hand through the mist, ending the call.
The daughter of Zeus was having several thoughts about what just happened with Katie. She was curious and now impatient to know what news the daughter of Demeter had about their cousin son of Poseidon. However, she was confused as to why Katie reacted with such hostility when she mentioned Artemis' name.
Thalia just shook her head at that and decided to go back to sleep and have those questions answer a couple of hours later.
Time skip (10 hours)
It had taken Thalia a bit of time to convince Artemis to let her go back to camp for a couple of hours but she did it. Her mistress had told her about how being with one less member will leave them even more vulnerable because of their already few members but Thalia told her that she would come back quickly.
The daughter of Zeus arrived at camp just 10 minutes after midday. After a quick greeting to Chiron, she headed over to where the Council of Cloven Elders used to hold their meetings.
On her way, she noticed many of the burnt and destroyed buildings around the camp were already rebuilt or almost finished. She smiled at remembering the few months that she spent at camp prior to joining the hunters. Yes, she does miss camp but she never felt at home other than the times she would spend with Percy.
Shaking her head, Thalia kept on her way toward the woods in search of information about the son of Poseidon.
A few minutes later, she came into the clearing that used to hold the meetings but now there was no podium nor was it arranged as a courtroom. It now looked like the inside of a modern classroom with rows of desks in lines and a board at the front. Clearly, Grover had been using it to give directions to the satyrs and close nature spirits.
When she got there, she was surprised at seeing the number of people that were already there waiting for her. She recognized most of the people there. The most familiar faces were Nico, Will, Katie, the Stoll brothers, Lou Ellen, and Clarisse.
After a quick greeting to everybody, she noticed that Annabeth, Jason, Leo, and Piper were nowhere to be seen along with a couple of other people. She was about to ask what was going on until Lou called for everybody's attention.
"So, as many of you may know, we arranged this in order to talk more about Percy's situation. I placed a privacy border around the clearing so nothing that we are discussing here today will be heard by others trying to eavesdrop," Lou announced and everybody nodded.
Thalia was skeptical about the entire privacy situation but knew that anything regarding Percy was better to discuss in private with people they could trust. Her father had become so paranoid the last couple of days so much that he was giving out a reward for any information regarding Percy's whereabouts.
"The people here today are the ones that either Percy talked to us or wanted us to have here today," Lou clarified, making a few of them nod. "For those of you who don't know what is really going on, then be prepared because this will change everything,"
Thalia started to feel a sense of dread as Lou's last words came out of her mouth. She thought back to the call Katie had done and how negatively and hostile she had reacted when she mentioned Artemis' name.
"As we all know, Percy has been branded a traitor by Zeus by telling us that he wants to dethrone him to give the power to a more powerful being, right?" All of the ones who didn't know, which were the Stolls, Thalia, and Clarisse nodded. "Well, as you could tell, it was a lie. Or at least not the entire truth,"
Thalia was confused by Lou's words, already dreading what was the truth. If Percy wanted to go against the Olympians, then this will have much more of an impact than the 2nd Titan War. Percy had so much influence in both demigod camps that he could very much tear down the gods.
"This is the real truth," Lou's eyes turned black, a clear sign of using her powers, and the area around them started to shift.
The natural clearing started to turn into a very familiar room that everybody could recognize. The entire transition didn't take more than 5 seconds and all understood that it was replaying what really happened at Olympus.
"Percy gave me access to this memory so that I can show you instead of telling you in case you don't believe him," Lou stated.
They all saw the throne room as it normally will, but Percy was in the center chained with celestial bronze chains at his wrists and ankles.
As the memory started playing, they all were shocked to hear the interaction between Percy and Zeus. They weren't really surprised when they heard Zeus telling him about having Hyperion's domains when they already had a suspicion about it. They all fondly smiled at hearing Percy deny Zeus' demand, a clear sign of his usual character.
However, when they saw Artemis leave and come back with Percy's parents, they were all shocked. Thalia's sense of dread skyrocketed even more when she saw her mistress summon her bow and aim it at Percy's stepfather.
"First chance, Perseus. Tell us how you got Hyperion's domains and defeated Gaea or the first to suffer the consequences of your actions is going to be this male," They heard Artemis' voice.
Thalia wanted to so desperately intervene but knew that it was a memory and nothing can change. She was praying that Artemis didn't proceed with it and his parents were still alive and the girl inside Sally still growing. Unfortunately for her, she still didn't know that Percy's parents and unborn sibling were dead.
Then they all knew what was coming next since Nico had told them during the meeting just two days ago. However, they were still surprised at how Percy tried to bargain the assurance of his parents not being harmed if he told them the truth. They were even more surprised at hearing Percy demand Zeus to swear on Chaos, the creator, and not the Styx.
However, their surprise turned into shock and anger when they saw Artemis shoot at Paul. Thalia's heart sank the moment she saw her mistress let go of the string, impaling Paul through the heart with one of her iconic silver head arrows.
Their hearts broke when they saw Percy's mother cradle Paul's lifeless body while sobbing. Then their breath hitched when they saw Artemis point a new arrow at Sally.
"Second and final chance, Perseus,"
They heard Percy shout that his mother was pregnant. Their dread increased even more at hearing those words. They saw Artemis vanish her bow saying she could do it, making Thalia momentarily breathe in relief. But that was short-lived as she heard Zeus' threat, making Artemis summon her bow once again and point it at Sally.
They saw Percy's mother trying to plead Percy's case after he was struck by Zeus' lightning, making everybody flinch.
Just when they saw that Artemis was going to shoot, Percy shouted to stop and that he was going to tell them the truth. They knew who Percy was and that he would do anything to keep his mother safe, so hearing him give in to their demands was something they had already seen coming, making all of them sadly smile at his actions.
Then, Percy went ahead and started explaining what happened during his time in the pit and how he learned and used it to defeat Hyperion and Gaea. They knew that something so big as that would make any immortal fear a mortal, but to go to such lengths for the information was horrible.
They were all glad that the tension in the throne room had gone down after Percy started explaining the challenge and the domains. However, it was short-lived when Zeus demanded to have those two domains handed over to him, making them all realize that Zeus was just power-hungry.
They saw Percy plead to not harm his mother when he didn't know how to do it. They heard Zeus shout at Artemis to kill his mother and the goddess saying that it wasn't necessary because he didn't know. But they saw one of Zeus' lightning arcs hit her body, making her release the string, firing her arrow at Sally, murdering her in front of her own son.
They were all silent as they watched Percy on the ground cradling his mother's dying body, sobbing and telling her not to leave him alone. They were all shocked that when he shouted for help to the other gods, they just awkwardly turned away, ignoring his pleading cries for help to save his mother.
Then, the most shocking part of the memory came.
"I'll kill you Zeus, and everyone else who helped you and stood by... I didn't want to accept their offer. I wanted to believe that you gods and goddesses could change and see that I wasn't a threat, but you just made me accept it... Lord Erebus and Lady Nyx, I accept your offer,"
They were all speechless at hearing his words and threat. They knew that if Percy was anything, he was determined to be true to his words and promises. However, hearing whose offer he accepted, they knew that things were very serious since it involved two of the older primordial gods in existence.
The memory ended shortly after Nyx and Erebus teleported out of the throne with a crying son of Poseidon.
"What. The. Fuck. Just. Happened?" It was Clarisse who spoke first out of everyone in the group.
"What you saw was Percy's memory. That is what really happened in the throne room," Lou responded while rubbing a few tears off her face. "It is why Percy was branded a traitor. He wants to change the world as we know it by dethroning Zeus after all of the atrocities he has done. Rape, murder, blackmail, threats, genocide, and so many more that deems him unworthy of being the king of the gods,"
"So what? He wants to let Nyx and Erebus rule over the Earth?" Clarisse asked, still not believing what she saw.
Katie shook her head and answered for Lou. "No, for rules Lady Nyx and Lord Erebus can't rule over the Earth. Only Gaea or Ouranos could rule over it since their domains are directly here, theirs is not," Many nodded at seeing the truth in her statement. "They actually want Percy to rule over the Earth with a new council of a new generation of gods along with old ones to help clean up the Olympians' mess,"
The ones who didn't know about it already were shocked. They all knew that Percy was a perfect leader, even Thalia knew that he was better than her, but to actually see know that Percy was going to be king if he wins was mindblowing.
"But how? He only has the support of two primordials, and while they are strong, they can't get directly involved in this. How is he going to do it?" Clarisse asked, trying to see how Percy was going to accomplish it.
"He hasn't told us in much detail how he is going to do it. He has only told us that he doesn't want to kill nor harm any demigods, he only wants the Olympians so that they are brought into trial for their doings. He said to us that he is immortal and has the direct aid of a primordial when the time comes to fight the Olympians," Lou responded, seeing everybody's reaction to her words.
All of them were shocked at hearing how serious this was. They knew that Percy's fatal flaw was loyalty, so being betrayed by the Olympians really pushed him into doing this. But actually going into a war against the current rulers of the Earth was just on another level of insanity.
"But how will he do it?" It was Connor who asked.
"There are many flaws in his plans and we don't know anything," Travis finished his twin's statement.
Lou could only shrug her shoulders. "We don't know. He only said that he wants us out of the line of fire and he is going straight for the gods,"
Katie nodded before following up on Lou's response. "Yes. He won't attack any of us and those who attack him will either be incapacitated or killed if necessary," That statement made everybody shiver. The words kill and Percy in the same sentence didn't make sense unless there was a not in there. "He doesn't want our support either if that is what you are asking. He made it clear that he doesn't want us nor any demigod to interfere in this war that he is with the Olympians,"
All of the demigods were in silence and thinking of the entire situation. All of the campers knew what Katie and Lou meant with their explanation and Percy's words while the only huntress present was torn between her loyalty to Artemis and her cousin.
However, any time that Thalia thought of how Artemis' ruthlessly killed Percy's stepfather and 'accidentally' killed his mother, her loyalty to the goddess decreased and was about to vanish. Moreover, the thing that finally broke her loyalty to the goddess of the Moon was the fact that Percy's unborn sibling was also killed.
"Remember, this discussion stays here and nobody else can know about it," Lou reminded everybody as she finally decided that the conversation was done. "Take your time to properly process the truth of what happened between Percy and the Olympians. This is the worst scandal in history and if the truth gets out, we can only imagine what the repercussions will be,"
All of the demigods nodded before Lou vanished the privacy spelled that she had placed around the clearing and all of them left for their own things.
As they separated, each demigod was thinking of the situation. Percy had done something that nobody has ever accomplished. Gaining the immortality and domains of an immortal was something that had never been done, so the fear of the gods over Percy wasn't misplaced. However, the way that they forced the truth out of him was what was wrong.
They could've just made Percy swear an oath to never use it and not talk about it to anybody. But no, Zeus was power hungry and wanted those domains for himself and finally be the absolute ruler of the Earth with Gaea's domain of the Earth and Hyperion's over heavenly light.
Nonetheless, the one that felt the most betrayed by the earlier revelation was the daughter of Zeus. Her loyalty toward her father, her mistress, and most of the gods had been broken by their unjustified actions against Percy. The boy she had come to admire and have loved almost since she first saw him, had been betrayed for just knowing how to kill an immortal and take their domains and immortality.
With those and many more thoughts and feelings, Thalia made her way out of camp and back to the hunters' camp. It will take some time for her to properly act around Artemis again and not let her fury against the goddess show, but she will just tolerate the goddess until Percy reveals himself and avenge his murdered parents and unborn sibling, with her not interfering at all even if she is ordered by Artemis and her father.
"Just be careful, Percy," Thalia whispered as she ran through the trees and made her way to the spot where Artemis was going to flash her back to camp. "I don't want to lose you,"
Line Break
Time Skip (1 month Earth, 7 months Tartarus)
A deafening sound of an explosion echoed through the dark burnt wastelands of Tartarus. A show of lights ranging from galaxy purple to green and blue to yellow, illuminated the area, contrasting the regular dark red and black environment.
"You ready to give up?" The voice with a slight English accent of Nyx came from her spot on top of a boulder so black that you couldn't tell any details. "Or are we going to go until you pass out like last time?" She mocked Percy.
The son of Poseidon was standing a couple of meters away from Nyx. His breathing was heavy and beads of sweat were rolling off his body. His black and white training clothes were almost in tatters as his skin had a couple of white ichor on it. The white tips of his hair and galaxy-purple and sea-green eyes were glowing from the use of power.
"You know me. I don't give up too easily," Percy responded as he fixed his posture and purple energy started gathering on his hands. "I need to push myself further if I am to defeat the Olympians,"
Over the course of the last 7 months, Percy's training had become even more rigorous and demanding. Zoe's training had been kept almost the same besides the fact that it mostly centered around her domain powers and energy use as a primordial to get her ready once she ascended to her primordial status.
However, Percy's was a bit different than Zoe's. While his training had remained the same routine, the difficulty tremendously increased each time he mastered the previous level. Nyx and Erebus would push him to his limits even more since he was an immortal now and his energy was greater than when he was a demigod.
Each day, he would spend hours training and sparing with the two primordials. His regular speed had increased to the levels of what a regular immortal would fight in the presence of a mortal, so he needed to achieve the speed of the faster immortals when fighting in the presence of a mortal. Clear examples of those would be Artemis, Hermes, Athena, and his own father, so he needed to achieve those speeds.
He still hadn't fought in the mirror world at half the speed of light that regular battles would take. Nyx and Erebus had explained to him that his new ascension to immortality was still too fresh for him to experience and needed to let his body get used to his domain's energy before engaging in such rigorous battles.
Nyx smirked at Percy's words and sent a torrent of tendrils of darkness at him. The son of Poseidon was quick to react and used his magic to manipulate the space in front of him and turn it into a wall of pure light.
Both attacks collided and canceled each other, making Nyx nod in appreciation of her student since the attack was too fast for regular immortals to react to, only warrior immortals could have reacted as fast as Percy did.
However, Percy concentrated on the energy around him and created chains of Styngian iron from the metal found in Tartarus to use against Nyx. The primordial of the night was no amateur and used the darkness of Tartarus to fight off or parry his chains.
The dark chains clashed and fought against the tendrils of darkness even if the darkness was attracted to the metal, but Nyx kept them in check to fight them off. The chains didn't give up and started forming a circle around Nyx in an attempt to surround her and finally get her.
However, Nyx was far more experienced and more powerful than Percy and created a dome of darkness around her to protect her as soon as the chains tried to chain her. The metal collided against the dome and was pushed back by a sudden increase of power from Nyx. The chains broke and pieces of dark metal flew around at high speeds, forcing Percy to create a dome of energy around him to protect him just in time from a piece of metal that was going straight for his sternum.
"Very well done and thought Percy," Nyx appraised before a smirk formed on her lips. "But you just lost,"
Percy was momentarily confused until he saw a wall of darkness surrounding his energy bubble before engulfing him with his shield. Percy felt the force of the darkness trying to break his shield so he concentrated and pushed energy into it to prevent it from breaking.
"Come on, Percy. Why don't you give up now that you have no way out and about to be defeated?" Nyx slowly approached her bubble of darkness. "You know that no matter what you still can't defeat me and it can't suddenly happen when you are still less than a year from getting your domain,"
Percy knew that Nyx's words were right and will soon lose if she kept the pressure in him the same or increased it even more. He gritted his teeth as he pushed even more energy into his shield, preventing it from breaking and slightly pushing back against the darkness.
Nyx was surprised at seeing him trying to push back and had to give him credit for not giving up. Percy had really surprised her and her husband over the course of the last 8, almost 9, months with his determination and fierceness during his training.
"It was a fun and good fight, but you are done, Percy," Nyx closed her fist and the pressure on the darkness around his energy bubble exponentially increase, creating a crake on the purple and green shield.
Percy grunted and was pushed to a knee as he felt his hold on the bubble slipping. He knew that he was moments away from losing and came up with a last plan to get Nyx.
"Yeah, but I won't go down without a fight," He grunted from inside his bubble as he concentrated on his last attempt to win.
Nyx was amused by his words and just grunted as she increased the power in the darkness. The cracks on the shield increased and were just a couple of seconds away from breaking when Nyx did a final push and the bubble broke with a shattering sound of glass breaking before the darkness was pushed back by an intense amount of light.
Nyx cringed at the feeling of the radiant light but was quick to disappear into a nearby shadow.
Percy came out of the bubble as his body radiated light so intensely that the entire desolated area around him turned completely white. He could feel how the energy was coursing through his body to give off the light, but he could also feel how exhausted he was and the intensity of the light surrounding him exponentially increased until he gave off a faint glow.
"You lose," the familiar voice of Nyx came from behind him before he felt the sharp and cold edge of a tendril at his throat. "But I gotta give it to you that it was a good final attempt to win,"
Percy grunted before yielding.
"Yeah, but I still can't beat you," The young immortal then stood up and looked back at the embodiment of the night. "Sucks how just because of race you are stronger than me," He bitterly muttered.
Nyx could only feel empathy for Percy and guided him back to her mansion. "Don't think like that dear. We primordials are pure energy while lesser beings get their powers from us so what did you expect?" She pointed out a good argument that Percy couldn't find fault in it. "Did you seriously think that the Titan Kronos was able to beat Ouranos because he was more powerful than him? No! He along with his brother jumped him when he was out of his domain and during his state of surprise he chopped him before he could react. If Ouranos had the time to react, he would've gotten out with great struggle, but he would've,"
Percy nodded, finally understanding the difference in power between a primordial and a lesser immortal being. He had always known that the difference in power between the races was great, but he thought that it might have been somewhat similar to the difference in power between an elder Titan and an elder Olympian. They could still fight, but the Titan would always have the advantage in energy and powers with the godling struggling to keep up with the elder immortal.
"Now, let's go back before Zoe and Calypso strangle each other like the last few times," Nyx hurried as a teasing smile appeared on her face.
Percy groaned as he rubbed his face with his hands, not wanting to think of what will entail this time if the sisters fought once again.
Over the course of the last 7 months, Calypso and Zoe had gotten to know each other. They were getting to learn about their different styles of life and their strengths in their fields. While Zoe was stronger in the sense of fighting and power, Calypso was better at healing and manipulating the elements with her knowledge and power in sorcery.
However, getting to know each other also led to the two sisters butting heads quite often. They would fight for more major things. First, it was because of how they saw humanity; Calypso would think they were okay while Zoe would be mad about them polluting and destroying the Earth. Secondly, they would fight whenever Calypso would comment and compliment Percy and Zoe tried to stop her in ways that would be deemed too harsh.
As they approached the mansion, they could hear the shouts of the sisters, making Percy groan at the incoming headache of trying to dissolve the issue between them.
"You think you have the right to suggest that?!" Percy heard Zoe shout at Zoe as they entered the hallway leading to the main living room.
"Yes!" Calypso shouted back. "You think that I would easily let go of him after everything that he has done?!"
Percy was lost on what they were fighting about while Nyx just smirked and waited patiently for the incoming drama. The primordial of the night had been notified about the fight between the sisters by her husband just as her sparring with Percy was about to finish. She also knew exactly what they were fighting about, or more correctly, who were they fighting about.
"But you are not his girlfriend! I am!" Zoe shouted back just as Percy and Nyx entered the room. "So if you think you can just weasel in and try to take him from me, then you are seriously mistaking!"
"What is going on?!" Percy shouted, way confused about what they were fighting about and dreading that it wasn't what he was thinking.
Flashback(10 minutes)
Calypso arrived at the mansion's main living room to try and rest for some time before going back to training her healing powers. She had been pretty tired the last couple of weeks since Erebus had increased her training, leaving her completely drained of her energy every day after her training.
As she entered the room, she noticed Zoe, her almost identical sister, laying on top of a large couch facing the couch, a clear sign of how exhausted she was from Erebus' rigorous training exercises that she was ordered prior to her own training.
"You good, Zoe?" The Titaness asked as she sat on a couch adjacent to Zoe's.
The heiress of the Earth could only groan and nodded, not having enough energy to give an oral response. The Titaness could sympathize with her younger sister when it came to how exhausting and demanding Erebus and Nyx's training could be.
"Dam, I could really use a shower and a massage," Calypso absentmindedly commented as she relaxed on the couch.
"Good idea, I'll get Percy to give me one later tonight," Zoe innocently comment, not wanting to leave out the opportunity to taunt her sister on the fact that Percy was dating her and not Calypso.
The Titaness knew exactly what Zoe's intention was on her offhand comment, so she decided to play her game.
"Yeah, I'll probably ask if he could give me one too," Calypso teasingly smirked as she noticed Zoe's body stiffen at her words. "I could probably bargain by giving him one after he gives me mine,"
Zoe was quick to sit up on the couch and send her older sister a menacing glare. "Don't you dare," She hissed. "He isn't your boyfriend and isn't appropriate,"
Calypso raised a challenging eyebrow at the heiress of the Earth. "Really? But who said that it would be inappropriate? All it is is a massage to let our muscles relax," Calypso spoke as if it was her entire intention but both girls knew better.
"Yeah, as if the last 7 months of your attempts to seduce him weren't any signs of you wanting to get him," Zoe spoke in a much firmer and offending tone as she thought of the several attempts from her sister trying to seduce her boyfriend. "You don't seem to understand that he isn't yours and is happily dating me. So let me make this clear once again, sister." Zoe then leaned forward as her eyes sent her sister a murderous glare. "He is with me and is loyal to me. So get it into your head that he will never be with you,"
Calypso knew that Zoe was perfectly aware of her own attempts in trying to get Percy to notice her and see she was the better option, but his own flaw was keeping him from even thinking about it. The Titaness knew that if were anyone else, they would have already given in and dumped Zoe, but Percy was loyal to a fault and thus was much more complicated.
"But you don't deserve him!" Calypso shouted as she stood up from her position on the couch, glaring at her sister. "He is too much of a good man for you to have. You have hatted men for millennia and now you are dating one! How much of a hypocrite you are for branding all males as animals and brutes just because one arrogant prick son of Zeus utilized you and broke your heart once! While I had my heart broken by several and the only one that showed that is the best is taken by my sister who doesn't deserve him!"
Zoe was initially stunned and angered by her older sister's words, but then she thought about them. Calypso was right. Almost all of her life was spent as a man-hating huntress and tortured and killed hundreds, if not thousands, of men because of trying to flirt with her. However, she resolved her prejudice against males after meeting Percy and regretted her past actions. So, Zoe wasn't going to let Calypso use that against her.
"Yes, I know that I have been a huntress and hatred towards males for millennia," Zoe admitted but her voice was firm. "But I want to change and Percy came to my life, giving me the perfect opportunity to a life that I thought I would never want. But now that he is with me I want that life and I won't let you come between us,"
Calypso was taken aback by Zoe's confession and knew that she was head over heels for Percy, but to the point of wanting a full family, if what Zow was insinuating was what she was thinking, was just a bit astonishing. The Titaness would have never thought that the former lieutenant of the hunters of Artemis would want to have a family with a man.
Nonetheless, Calypso knew that Zoe would try her best to not fuck up her relationship with Percy because if Zoe was anything she was determined. So, thinking of a stray thought that she once had while being frustrated after her unsuccessful attempt at trying to get Percy's attention, she blurted it out.
"Maybe we could both date him,"
Zoe was expecting a response from her older sister, maybe an insult or more reasons why she didn't deserve Percy while she did. But she hadn't expected her sister to suggest that, and that is how they found themselves in their current situation.
Back to the present
Both sisters turned to where the familiar voice came from, only to find a tired and annoying Percy looking back at them. They saw the state of his clothes and couldn't help but stare. Both sisters blushed at seeing his muscles peaking from the several holes his shirt had while a bit of lust and desire traveled through Zoe's mind.
"Percy, you are back from your training," Zoe announced as she went up to him.
However, Calypso was closer to him and immediately went up to hug his side, eliciting a growl from her younger sister. Percy was surprised by the girls' actions while Nyx and Erebus, who just teleported into the room, wore grins on their faces at the oncoming entertainment.
"Get your hands off my boyfriend," Zoe growled as she pulled Percy towards her.
Calypso wasn't just a Titaness in the title and her hold held firm around Percy's arm. "Why are you being so possessive? I'm just greeting him," She pulled Percy back.
"Yeah, but that is not the correct way of greeting someone with their arms between your tits," Zoe harshly responded before wrapping her arms around Percy's torso.
Percy had been oblivious to his arm's position with Calypso until Zoe pointed it out. He rapidly removed it from between the Titaness' breasts as he felt his white ichor rise on his cheeks, giving them a white tone.
"S sorry for that, Caly," He quickly apologized while avoiding eye contact with her.
Calypso smirked at seeing her effect on Percy and spoke in a soft but flirty tone. "No worries, Percy. You don't have to worry where your hands are with me,"
Percy's blush intensified as well as Zoe's anger. The heiress of the Earth was just moments away from dragging her older sister out of the house and to the training area to teach her to keep her hands off Percy.
"Children, there is no need to fight," Erebus interrupted the glaring contest between the sisters before it scaled to a fight. "Why don't you all go to your rooms and cool off," Erebus suggested but they knew that it was an order.
The sisters huffed before going their separate ways to their rooms. Zoe led Percy to their room upstairs while Calypso watched in jealousy from the first floor.
"Now, don't feel too sad about your situation, Calypso," Nyx spoke as she approached the angry and sad Titaness. "Things may be complicated at the moment, but be sure that things will even out in the future," She spoke with a suggestive tone, which Calypso was able to notice.
"What do you mean by that?"
Nyx just smirked before turning around and muttering loud enough for the caramel-colored hair girl.
"You will just have to wait and see, dear"

Zoe shut the door to their room with a loud bang, a clear sign of her anger toward her sister. Percy could only tiredly sigh as he was dragged by Zoe to their bed.
The primordial heiress got onto the bed before pulling her boyfriend with her. She immediately cuddled up to his side as she forced him onto his back.
Percy could only sigh and wrap his arms around the beauty in his arms as he knew it was the only way she would calm down after the intense fight with Calypso. He was amused that the only way to calm down the former lieutenant of a group of man-haters was by cuddling with a man, more precisely, him.
"Are you going to tell me what that was about?" Percy softly asked after a couple of moments of silence and noticed her rage diminishing.
Zoe slightly shifted in his arms before he felt her grip on his tighten. "She wants to be with you,"
Percy could only nod as he already knew about Calypso's attempt to seduce him. Sure, he might have been oblivious in the past, but it didn't mean that he was always that way. Most of the time after he discovered he was a demigod, he had to act as oblivious as possible in order to not give the gods any reason to kill him if they notice he was smart. Also, betrayal tends to make one as cautious as possible and notice anything around them.
"I told her that you were mine and that she wouldn't come between us," Zoe tightened her grip around him as she nuzzled her head into his chest. "She said that we could share you, but I immediately put that idea down. She doesn't have the power nor right to suggest that,"
Percy was surprised at hearing Calypso's suggestion of sharing him with her sister. However, he wasn't one to date two people since it went against his fatal flaw as well as the morals that his mother had taught him as he grew up.
"Yeah, she doesn't have any right to suggest that," Zoe smiled into his chest at hearing his agreement with her. "But it also doesn't mean that you should have started a fight with her... again,"
Zoe scowled into his chest but ended up sighing in defeat at his words since she knew he was right. The fights between her and Calypso had started to take a toll on her and she could tell that it had affected Percy even more but he wasn't showing it because he was supporting her and trying to solve the situation. She loved him for caring so much about her, but Percy needed to understand that there were some things that she needed to take care of herself.
At that moment, another thought came into her mind: What if Percy finally gets annoyed by her and her fights?
The moment that thought came through her mind, her blood ran cold, making her body stiffen at the possibility. She knew that Percy was patient and loyal, but how far will he deal with her until he had enough and leaves her? Maybe he would go to Calypso seeing she was very understanding and easygoing, just as Percy, making them almost perfect for each other.
Zoe shook her head at those thoughts. She couldn't lose Percy after everything that they had gone through. Percy was the only man in existence to make her feel truly happy as well as be her true self with him without having the fear or annoyance of being judged by everything she does.
Percy got worried once he felt Zoe stiffen and lightly shake. He knew that Zoe was rare to show vulnerability, but there had been a couple of times in which she did. Prior to her doing so, she would go rigid before shaking and finally breaking down in tears and sobs.
"Hey, it's okay, I'm here," Percy pulled her up and Zoe immediately wrapped her arms around his neck so tight as if she was afraid that he would disappear. "Just talk to me when you are ready,"
Zoe couldn't form a response as she heard his words. It was a miracle that she had found Percy and made him fall for her when there were more women out there who could be better girlfriends compared to her.
Yes, she had been caring and loyal to him, but she had also given him several hard times in which he would do something that was accidental or nonintentional and she would make a fuse about it. For instance, during the first weeks that Calypso had been at the House of Night, Percy accidentally bumped into the Titaness from her backside, making them tumble forward but Percy was quick to wrap an arm around her and another on a wall to keep them from falling. Zoe had been walking towards them when she saw it happen and was surprised at first, but when he saw Calypso grinning she got furious. She was so mad at him for doing it that she didn't talk to him for the rest of the day until the night which he spent kissing her until she gave in and started a heated makeout session.
Many more similar or different situations happened over the course of the last 7-8 months and she was confused as to how Percy was still with her. Zoe knew that if Percy was giving her attitude she would have told him to get over it and even hit him until she would dump him for being annoying, but Percy? Percy had been patient, caring, and affectionate to her the entire time. He never lost his patience, raised his voice at her, or even gave any signs of hitting her. He had been the most perfect man and she was making it hard for him.
"I'm sorry," She spoke, barely above a whisper. "I'm so sorry," Zoe cried into his chest as she let her gates flood with tears.
Percy knew that something had happened inside her head as he knew that it wasn't her previous fight with Calypso that she was apologizing about. He just tightened his grip around her before using one hand to rub soothing circles on her back.
"I have been the best girlfriend ever since we started dating, but I promise that I'll be better from now on," Zoe promised after her tears stopped and composed a bit of herself.
"It's okay, Zoe-" Percy tried to reassure her but Zoe was having none of it.
"No, it isn't, Percy," Zoe pulled away from him, propping herself on her left arm and looking at him directly. "I have been giving you a hard time for things that you aren't responsible for. If our places would have been reversed, I wouldn't have been as patient nor as caring as you are with me,"
Percy finally understood what the entire thing was about and nodded. If he was being honest, he was actually happy that Zoe brought it up herself and not him because he never thought about it in the way Zoe did. His affection for her was so much that her moments of attitude were cute to him by now. They prove to be a challenge for him to find out ways to make it up to her even if the reason she was mad wasn't his. Yes, he was head over heels for Zoe.
"So from now on, I'll be better and access everything before acting. I love you for being so patient and caring with me," Zoe confessed before her hands shot up to her mouth after she realized what she had said.
Percy was surprised and beginning to blush once he heard her words. They had been dating for 8, almost 9 months, but they had never said that they love each other. He was pretty sure that Zoe did love him but hadn't said it because she was waiting for him to be ready after his situation with Annabeth. However, what Zoe didn't know was that Percy had been in love with her for so long that he doesn't remember when he first started loving her.
"I love you too,"
Percy confessed to her after he noticed the worry and fear in her eyes at believing she said something she wasn't supposed to. He decided that it was already time to confess his true feelings for her once and for all, and what better way than to reassure her that he also loves her?
Zoe's eyes widened at hearing his mutual feelings and the intensity of them for her. The chance of her hearing someone confess their love for her had always been nonexistent. She had spent almost her entire life at the hunt denying the company of men and love, so hearing Percy, the love of her life, saying that he also loved her was too much for her.
The heiress of the Earth immediately crashed her lips with his before moving to straddle him. Their mouths met in a very heated and needed kiss that left both of them breathless and with the need for more by the end of it.
"You don't know how much those words mean for me," Zoe quietly confessed as her eyes watered looking directly into his sea-green and purple-galaxy color eyes. "You are my one and only, Percy,"
The young immortal was moved by her words and tightly wrapped his arms around her before turning them so that he was on top. He then whispered a few words before they both would engage in what would be their most passionate makeout session to date.
"The feeling is mutual, Zoetheria,"

"Are we sure about this?" A worried Zoe asked from her spot next to Percy. "We don't know how they would react or if they would make you responsible for it,"
Percy could only chuckle at his worried girlfriend and tightly hugged her against his body in a way to comfort her.
"It's fine, Zoe. If things come to worst, I'll just create a portal and get out of there as soon as possible," Percy pulled back from the hug but still in each other's arms. "But I need to know how things are going down there in Atlantis and if they have any information about my father. I can't keep going any much longer knowing that he is suffering somewhere by Zeus because he was defending me,"
Zoe couldn't argue with him because she knew that Percy's loyalty was too much for him to ignore, especially when it was to the only person who publically supported him against Zeus.
"Okay, but make sure that you are careful, alright?"
Percy was still getting used to seeing this side of Zoe. The side in which she is visually concerned for him and how much he means to her. He had never thought that he would ever get to see this side of Zoe prior to their relationship, but he was more than glad to be the only one to see it.
"Of course," Percy gave her one last sweet kiss before moving over to the lapping waves of the sea on the shore. "While I'm absent, don't fight too much with Calypso," He gave her a stern look, making Zoe huff and nod.
Percy just rolled his eyes at his girlfriend's reaction before using his powers to create a thin layer of oxygen around his entire body and using the waves to propel him to the legendary underwater city.
Time Skip (30 minutes)
The son of Poseidon had never actually been to Atlantis on his own accord or his own way of traveling. The last and only time he had been there was after the explosion of Luke's ship, Andromeda, prior to the battle of Manhattan. So Percy had to rely on his own powers to sense the power from the city and the gods there to guide himself.
After finally locating the power from two powerful gods, pretty sure they were Triton and Amphitrite, he was propelled towards the underwater city of Atlantis.
It had taken him just under half an hour to get there and be let in by the guards around the city limits. As he swam towards the main castle, he noticed that the people of the city weren't too active or friendly as he would've thought. But then who would be when your king and god haven't been ruling over his people for over 10 months? It certainly gave them a sense of worry and trepidation.
Atlantis had changed over the course of the last 2 years. The castle was newer and a few carvings on the walls had him battling the Titan lord, which he didn't know if he was too keen on it.
Percy finally arrived at the throne room of Atlantis and waited for the queen and prince of the seas to arrive, leaving him alone to marble at the throne room.
The walls were white but with a slight green tint to them. The floors were made of what he thought was a combination of some type of cement with green coral. The main path to the three thrones was white with golden borders. And the main feature of the room: the three thrones.
The one to the left was just a simple sea-green colored marble throne with red velvet cushions with no big or fancy details. The one to the right was bigger and consisted of what he thought was silver combined with gold and marble with velvet cushions as well. The one in the middle was the biggest but the most simple one. It was almost like the one to the left but just plain white marble with silver highlights and sea-green cushions.
Percy had no doubt of which throne belonged to who, so he decided to appreciate the fact that he got his simplicity from his father as well as his mother. He felt a pain in his heart at thinking of his mother but quickly pushed the feeling away as he felt the arrival of the remaining royal family.
The son of Poseidon turned around to be met with two familiar people that he hadn't had the chance to properly interact with outside of war.
The first one was a tall and clean-cut, young man with long raven-black hair, the same tone as his father's. He had the same sea-green eyes that Percy would have before the entire gaining of domains. He had two merman tails instead of one, a clear sign of his status as non-mortal besides his green tone skin. He had a clear look of annoyance and disgust on his face, making Percy mentally groan at seeing his half-brother, Triton.
The other person in the room was a middle age lady with long black hair that was adorned with a circlet of polished red crab class and a net with pears pinning her hair back, mocha-brown eyes, and a beauty that would leave almost all goddesses in the dust. She had only one tail and was dressed in a rather simple white gown along with a silver ring on her left ring finger, her status of marriage to his father. The woman had a look of surprise and concern on her face, something that he wasn't expecting from his stepmother.
"Perseus, it is rare to see you here," She softly swam over to him, the look of worry never leaving her face. "If you are here it must be important,"
Percy was initially taken aback by her worry but quickly pushed it down. "Hello, Lady Amphitrite and Lord Triton," He gave them a quick bow before addressing the situation. "Yes, I'm afraid I am not here for a pleasant visit," He heard a few words of how his visit wasn't pleasure from Triton but he ignored them.
"What is going on up there, Perseus? We haven't heard or seen my husband in almost a year. His domains are barely maintained and we haven't heard anything from the Olympus, not even Hermes and he comes quite often for his deliveries," Amphitrite quickly announced and Percy nodded, a look of sadness settling across his face.
"Yeah, I need to tell you both all about what happened after defeating mother Earth," Percy said, ignoring the looks of desperation from his father's family temporarily before summoning three chairs for them to seat, once again ignoring their reactions of shock. "Please, take a seat, this will take some time,"
Time Skip(1 hour)
After over one hour of explaining, several interruptions from Amphitrite, and diminishing comments from the prince of the seas, Percy was finally done telling them about what had been going on for the last year.
The queen and prince of the seas had been initially surprised and shocked at hearing him explain everything from the start, from Tartarus to Zeus' betrayal to him and Artemis killing his parents. There were several interruptions and emotions throughout the story from the royal family, but they eventually settled down and were silently thinking about his words.
However, Tirton's silence and mixed emotions quickly turned to rage towards the 'demigod' in front of him. Triton didn't know that he was immortal now and had his domains since he only got to the part of him escaping from Olympus and taking refuge far from them, so he thought that it would be too easy to take his rage on him.
Percy felt Triton's rage exponentially increase as well as it is directed at him, so he was quick to summon a shield of energy to stop the prince's trident directed at his chest. The impact of the godly weapon against the energy shield was so strong that it created a small explosion of power, sending Triton back while Amphitrite was protected by one of Percy's shields.
"Calm down, Lord Triton-" Percy could not even finish his sentence when he was assaulted by a beam of energy that his shield quickly canceled.
"Shut up you insolent, repugnant mortal!" Triton screamed in rage as he swam up to him and tried hitting him with his trident, only moving him back slightly from the force. "All you have caused since your birth has been trouble and death! Now you have also caused the kidnapping of my-"
Triton's rant was quickly cut short by his mother, who had somehow left Percy's shield, pulling his ear and painfully twisting it, earning a groan and moan of pain from the prince of the seas.
"Shut it! You are acting like a fool and should start acting like a prince!" Amphitrite tightened the force on his ear to make her point. "Perseus is here to tell us what has been going on with Olympus while we have been deserted for months with no information about your father! So shut up and sit down!"
Percy was just standing there, watching the queen of the seas scold her oldest child as if they weren't gods, making Percy mournfully remember the times when he got scolded by his mom whenever he was acting up or being reckless.
"Now, are you going to sit down and behave like the millennia-old immortal that you are?" Amphitrite said before slightly twisting his ear once again. "Or do I need to make myself more clear?" She threatened with a tone that even made Percy shiver at being reminded that no matter who you are, your own mother will always be the scariest person in your life.
The prince of the seas' eyes immediately widened in fear before frantically nodding while trying to avoid more pain.
"Good," She released his ear before sitting down once again. "Now, why don't we let Perseus finish his story and then we can talk," She ordered more than suggested with that sweet tone that mothers use whenever they are trying to implement fear.
"Yeah, that sounds good," Percy immediately agreed, not wanting to go against his stepmother when he wasn't against her. "There is still a lot more to tell,"
The princes of the seas reluctantly nodded before taking his previous seat on a new summon chair since his chair had been destroyed during his first attack on his half-brother. Percy created another seat with his powers and got down to talk a bit more about after escaping Olympus and what his plans were.
To say that the mother and son were shocked by his plans was an understatement. They had both believed that Percy would never go against Olympus, but his fatal flaw had been broken by Zeus and most of the council so it wasn't that much of a shocker after they thought about it.
"So you want to go against the king of the gods as well as all of those who support him?" Amphitrite asked, her tone full of disbelief and shock.
Percy nodded. "Yes. He has been a tyrant ever since the defeat against the Gigantes the first time. Gaea told me the truth before our fight on how the Golden Age was called that for a reason, which Nyx and Erebus confirmed for me,"
Amphitrite nodded with a look of understanding while Triton was completely lost on what they were talking about.
"Sorry, but I don't follow,"
Amphitrite looked over to her son with a look of regret before telling him how the ruling of the Titans had been greater than what Zeus' was, but ever since Kronos got the prophecy he made everything worst and that is why the Olympians fought against them to take control.
"Wh-why wasn't I aware of this?" Triton was hurt by this revelation.
The queen of the seas looked over to Percy and her stepson just nodded, understanding that he already knew. She took a deep breath, either was it water or air, Percy didn't know, and looked at her son apologetically.
"Zeus had ordered the rest of his brethren to tell the story that he wanted and not the real one because he was afraid of what could happen if they knew the truth," Triton's eyes widened at hearing the reason behind his mother and father never telling the truth, but he could believe the 'king' of the gods doing that. "Of course, almost everybody knew the truth because they were alive to see it, but they weren't fools to go against Zeus and evoke his wrath on themselves or those they care for. Which is why we never told you the truth in case you acted too hostile and caused trouble to our family,"
Triton was enraged by the revelation of his mother, but he knew that she and his father had done it from the good of their hearts. Any being from the sea tends to act on their feelings and not think about the consequences, which he was sometimes glad for it since it could come in handy in battle, but he understood the reasoning of his parents.
"So the second generation of gods don't know the truth about the ruling of the Titans?" Triton asked in a low voice after a couple of moments of silence, trying to come to terms with the news in a calm and controlled manner.
Amphitrite nodded. "Yes, son. If every god and goddess knew of this, Zeus would be afraid of how they would react to him taking control of the world because he didn't like the Titan lord and his paranoia," She answered with as much honesty as she could, making his son feel better at knowing he wasn't the only one and there were hundreds of gods out there that didn't know of the truth either. "Kronos was a fearful ruler, that much is true, but he was fair, strict, and impartial with everyone. But since he got the prophecy of one of his own betraying him, that is when the trouble started and Zeus decided to take that to his advantage,"
As the conversation between the mother and son happened, Percy just kept silent and watched the duo. It brought painful memories of himself and his mother, but he knew that he needed to cherish those memories, just as Nyx had told him during one of his breakdowns.
"I'm in,"
Percy was shaken out of his own thoughts by his half-brother's words.
The young immortal looked up to the prince of the seas with a confused look.
"Sorry, what?"
Triton rolled his eyes in annoyance before taking a deep breath. "I said that I'm on your side in this war that is to come against Olympus,"
Amphitrite and Percy were shocked by Triton's words that all they could was blink a couple of times before Triton repeated his words once again, but with more annoyance that is.
"Yes we heard you, son," Amphitrite stood up and went over to Triton, placing a hand on his cheek. "But are you sure about this? You will be going against Olympus, the longest and greatest ally of your father and Atlantis-"
"Father and Atlantis were betrayed by Olympus when they kidnapped him when defending his son, which he has the absolute right to do, but they still betrayed us because of Zeus," Triton spoke, with complete determination in his voice. "We have been looked down on by Zeus ever since I could remember and he also caused the death of my daughter Pallas, something that I still need to have revenge for," Tritons deathly hissed at being reminded of his daughter's death because Zeus couldn't see Athena lose against the daughter of a minor god.
Percy was shocked at hearing Triton's words but he just knew the basics of what actually happened to Pallas from his history lessons at camp. "I'm honored to hear your agreement of joining me in my war against Olympus, but I don't want to put Atlantis in a tight spot for supporting me in this war-"
"You don't have to involve our city, only I will be assisting you in this fight. The citizens of Atlantis don't have to get involved in more wars after just this last one," Triton quickly interjected, earning raised eyebrows from the other two in the room. "I can only help you from the seas so don't mind the against you. I'll talk with our sister, Kymopoleia, to help me keep the seas on your side. She will be more than deleted to keep away Olympus forces out of the seas with storms and violent waters,"
All Percy could do was stare at his half-brother, not properly believing that Triton was on board with his idea and helping him as much as he could from the seas.
"You don't have to worry about us, Percy," Amphitrite quickly interjected before Percy could respond. "Atlantis is no ally of Olympus anymore after Zeus took our lord away from us and threatened you as well as killed your parents. They betrayed us, so they have no support from us and you will have all of ours,"
Percy was rendered speechless at hearing his stepmother's words. He had only come to Atlantis to tell them the truth as well as to let them know of his plans so that they would be kept away from them. However, he never thought of the possibility of Amphitrite and Triton being in favor of his plans as well as supporting him against Olympus.
"I-I have no words," He stuttered, only to be engulfed in a hug by the queen of the seas, which left him even more speechless than before.
"There is no need for it," Amphitrite broke the hug as he looked at him with a motherly smile. "It is horrible what that fucking lightning god did to you," Percy winced at being reminded of his parents' demise. "But be sure that if you ever need to talk to somebody, you can come to me any time and I'll talk to you. There is no reason for you to be in your situation,"
Amphitrite may have been seen as another Hera whenever it came to the children of her husband with another woman, but it was the contrary. She had come to terms with her husband's infidelity a long time ago and knew that she couldn't always keep him to himself, after all, he was a god. She could be cold towards her husband's demigods, but she had never done anything to them as Hera had done, she actually respected them.
However, Percy had become the greatest exception to her. When she first learned about Percy's existence, she had been furious at learning that her husband had cheated on her after the oath. Despite her initial anger, she calmed herself after she saw him grow up and become a very distinct demigod from the rest of her previous stepsons. She saw how he became the strongest demigod in history and saved the lives of everyone in the world by defeating the Titan Lord and now that she learned that he defeated mother Earth. But the moment she learned about his parents' murder by orders of Zeus, she felt her motherly instincts flare up, telling her that she need to do something for the poor young adult in front of her after everything he has gone through.
Percy felt a warm sensation inside of his body, something that reminded him of whenever his mother had tried to soothe him. It was very much weaker, but he could still feel it. It was definitely shocking at hearing Amphitrite being so warm and motherly, but he chalked it up to sympathy.
"Yeah, I'll keep that in mind," Percy quickly responded after he regained his thoughts. "I better get going, I still have to visit the Romans and see how they have been doing,"
Percy quickly said his goodbyes before opening a portal that lead to San Francisco, leaving behind a preoccupied queen of the seas and a stoic but more respectful prince of the seas.
"You know that he will change the world, right?" Triton spoke after a moment of silence.
"That's the thing, son," Amphitrite said with a tone of pride of fondness that he had never heard. "He has already done it and won't stop till he is done,"
Triton knew that his mother wasn't so easy to accept his father's demigods, but he saw that Percy's story had moved his mother in ways that he had never seen before. The young immortal's words had changed the queen of the seas more than anything before and he was looking forward to what it would mean in the future.
"Yeah, let's see how this plays out later in the future,"
Amphitrite then looked over to the thrones in the room before snapping her fingers and a smaller throne appeared next to hers, but this one was sea-green with galaxy-purple highlights.
Triton's eyes bulged at seeing his mother's actions, not believing that his mother had accepted his half-brother so much up to the point of giving him a throne next to hers.
"There, it looks much better,"
