Chapter 3: Introduction.Nobody's pov.
It was the summer solstice in ancient Greece. Heroes of old aka Perseus, Andromeda, Hercules, Theseus, Bellerophon, Odysseus along with Chiron, Zoe and minor gods Asclepius, Pan, Enyo, Triton, Amphitrite, Triton and Persephone were invited to watch the 'important' council. Which, to say in short, was being proceeded like this.
" HADES, how dare you to touch my precious Kore?"
" ZEUS, when are you going to stop womanizing? "
" I won Athens fairly Kelp-of-brains! "
"When are you going to stop flirting with my huntresses? "
" As you wish Lil' sister. "
"I am older than you."
Suddenly, They heard screams and saw children falling from the sky. Before anyone could react, something very strange happened. They all held each other's hands and the momentum of their fall lessened. Also one of the kids turned into an Eagle and they landed safely.
As they landed, they took out their weapons and huddled together most probably discussing something. That was when Hermes noticed three kids were wearing flying shoes similar to the ones he wore. He cleared his throat loudly...
Andrew's pov.
The first thing I noticed was our clothes were changed. All the boys were wearing togas and girls peplos, like people used to wear in ancient Greece. My brain, on its own accord, conjured an image of a Seaweed brain in such a dress. I sighed sadly knowing that was not possible (Not only because she was not here but also because she loathed dresses and makeup).
That was when I noticed my surroundings. It was a grand hall designed in Greek architecture. It reminded me of a picture of the throne room of the real Mount Olympus in Ancient Greece. That was when it dawned upon me. Toga... Ancient Greece...
Someone cleared his throat behind us. We all turned around to find our parents sitting on their thrones confirming my suspicions.
Before I could utter something, Lord Zeus thundered " WHO ARE YOU? AND HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT -?" Baam. A wooden box fell on his head. He grumbled something about no one respect for the king while other gods tried not to laugh at Zeus's antics.
"He can never change. "Thalia whispered next to me with a sigh. " Does he always act like that? "Jason asked. Grover rubbed his face and said "Always. "
"Guys, Didn't you notice something different about our surroundings or our clothes? "
That was when screams pierced through the hall and everyone snapped their heads towards the sound. " I AM WEARING A FUCKING DRESS. " That was Piper and Thalia. *Reyna raised her eyebrows at them as they both fumed.
Grover, not to further anger the already steaming girls, squeaked "Yeh, also this is not the throne room you designed, Andrew. Or, the one that was destroyed. " This retrieved Thalia from her dark thoughts.
I shook my head positively. " The only logical reason for this is, that some god messed up again and sent us back in time to Ancient Greece.
Everyone groaned. I knew what they were thinking. Not another god. Hera's stupid exchange program was enough to last a lifetime. But they are gods and they get bored quite easily. What can be better entertainment than a time exchange program?
That was when, out of the corner of my eyes, I noticed something fluttering on the top of the boxes. I snatched it and started reading aloud.
Dear Gods and Demigods of the past (The people of the past rose their eyebrows) and the future demigods (We sighed)
I couldn't help but notice you longing for your hero. That gave me a brilliant idea, and with the help of Fates, I sent some of the future demigods in Ancient Greece to read about the greatest demigod ever born ( At that Hercules and Zeus puffed their chests while Hades muttered 'Drama King'), who is also very loyal (We shook out heads in positive) and quite beautiful too (I growled while Hercules looked green). Her name is Penelope ( Odysseus perked up) Persis Jackson. (Hercules looked ready to explode while I smirked.)
Fates have asked Gods to try to learn something from these books and warned them not to hurt the future demigods or else... (Gods gulped). Also, these demigods will only tell their names and their parent.
Lastly, time will be stopped in future for the convenience of these demigods.
Thanking you.
Your most awesome and coolest Gods Hermes ( Sons of Hermes cheered)and Apollo (Will rolled his eyes) and fates.
P. S. We will send more people as the meeting will proceed.
P. S. S. This is only for the future gang. Don't read it aloud as we don't want Poseidon to destroy the planet. That would suck. We are trying hard to save Percy. So don't worry about her. She will join you as soon as she can.
I sighed in relief. If the god of medicine is saying Percy will recover then she should be fine. I cleared my throat to snap everyone out of their thoughts and passed the note to Jason for others to read. I opened the crate to find five books kept in sequence. My throat went dry when saw an image of Percy holding Riptide in the first book.
" Read their titles, child. " Hestia asked kindly. I nodded.
" Percy Jackson and The lightning thief.
Percy Jackson and The Sea of Monsters.
Percy Jackson and The Titan's Curse.
Percy Jackson and The Battle of the labyrinth.
Percy Jackson and The Last Olympian."
I read them in sequence. The more I read, the more their mouth fell open. In the end, they looked like fishes out of water. Omg, I am thinking like my girlfriend. The only ones who were not gaping were Grover, Thalia and me.
My mother recovered first and cleared her throat, snapping everyone. " I think we should start with the introductions. "
"But before that, I have a question to ask. How did you survive the fall? " He asked looking at his sons.
"I can fly. " Jason stated at the same time Stolls and Chris said " We have flying shoes. " while Franke replied " Shapeshifting". I doubt the gods heard them as they were staring intently at Jason. " Are you the son of one of the Anemoi?"
"No." He said tiredly. "I think we should start the introductory session. Myself Jason Grace, son of Zeus-", before he could finish, Hera jumped on Zeus and choked him. " YOU FUCKING BASTARD HOW DARE YOU CHEAT ME AGAIN. EVEN IN THE FUTURE. " Jason squeaked while Zeus was turning pale from loss of oxygen (if it was possible )as his sisters Demeter and Hestia tried to coax Hera to lose her choke hold.
After a few minutes of struggle, she released Zeus and went back to her throne, fuming. Zeus massaged his throat and waved at us to continue.
Thalia stepped forward and threw Zeus a look filled with pity. He noticed it and hid behind Demeter's throne. " Myself Thalia Grace, Daughter of Zeus and Lieutenant of Artemis ( Artemis and Zoe looked confused.) and For more info, you have to read these books. Also, ANDREW stepped forward before Hera gets ballistic again. "she half-screamed and pushed me forward.
I rolled my eyes at her antics and straightened up. " I am Andrew chase, Son of Athena. "" WHAAATT. ATHENA YOU BROKE YOUR OATH. " Now it was Artemis's turn to throw a tantrum. Before I could open my mouth, Stupid Leo exclaimed " What, Athena is a virgin goddess. I mean- she has like a dozen of children. I shot Leo a glare and he silenced. At the same time, Artemis was looking like she would gut someone if she didn't get her answer. " Mom is still a virgin goddess in future. We, her children are a product of her and another mortal's thoughts. " Artemis blinked and then looked away, embarrassed for losing her cool.
"Myself Nico di Angelo, son of Hades," Nico said scaredly, looking at Persephone. Persephone And Demeter glared at Hades. " My lord, Do you have something to say in your defence? " Persephone said in a deadly calm voice. On the other hand, Hera shouted " NOT YOU TOO. AND HERE I THOUGHT YOU TO HAVE MORE SENSE THAN MY GOOD-FOR-NOTHING HUSBAND. "Lord Hades shifted in his seat and pleaded with me to proceed.
I nodded at Hazel and she shuffled hesitantly. "M-Myself Hazel Levesque, Daughter of Hades. " At that, something strange happened. Hades, Persephone, Poseidon and Amphrithite snapped their heads at Hazel. "A da-daughter. I have a daughter. " " Yes, You have many daughters in future. Why are you so shocked about it? "
" Well, only Zeus out of 'the big three' has daughters most frequently. While the daughters of Hades are not exactly unknown but still they are very few, like once in a millennium. Daughters of Poseidon on the other hand, well truthfully, they are no female demigods of Poseidon to date. Amphitrite stated sadly. " Why is it so? Why are there no daughters of Poseidon? I mean surely he has immortal daughters like Kymopoleia." Piper asked. "We don't know for sure. The fates once told him that there will be someone special who would bear him a demigod daughter but to date, there never has been one."
" You are saying as if it is a very bad thing. " Hera admonished. "Yes, at least you don't have to see him have a daughter with other women. With time, maybe he will stop sleeping around " Persephone finished. Amphitrite snorted and said " Firstly, I am not jealous of other women just because he sleeps with them. I have self-esteem and I knew what I was getting into while marrying him. Secondly, I don't treat my stepsons as if they are dirt beneath my feet for something they had no control over." She ended while Poseidon and Triton silently cheered for her in the background. All the mortal children of Zeus and Hades( some immortal ones also) had the same expression on their faces. Why was she not their stepmother? Grover and I, who already knew of Amphrithite's affection towards demigods were trying not to laugh at others' expressions.
Before a catfight would break in between the big three wives, Piper intervened with her charm speak. " Let's resume the introduction." Everyone nodded. " I am Piper McLean, daughter of Aphrodite and Charmspeaker. "
Then she pushed Leo to the front. " Make way ladies, ( All the women raised their eyebrows) Leo Valdez, the amazing son of Hephaestus and fire user coming right here. " He pointed with both hands at himself. We all rolled our eyes at his antics.
Frank politely stepped and said" I am Frank Zhang, son of Ares, a descendant of Poseidon and a shapeshifter. "
" We are-"
"Travis and -"
"Conner Stolls"
"Sons of Hermes and official pranksters. " They ended together. Hermes gave them a thumbs up which they reciprocated. Clarisse stepped forward and hit them in the back of their head.
" Now that these doofus has finished. I am Clarisse La Rue, daughter of Ares. " Ares who was flirting with Aphrodite( typical), choked on his breath. "A d-daughter, I have a daughter." Aphrodite who was annoyed by the intrusion hit him in the back of his head and said. " Good thing. Now you will learn how difficult it is to be a woman. " And with that, they went back to flirting.
Clarisse sighed while Piper and Frank looked green. Chris stepped awkwardly and said " Soo, myself Chris Rodriguez, son of Hermes. "
" I am Will Solace, son of Apollo. " Will said shortly and went back to stand next to Nico making him blush.
Grover stepped forward but hesitated. He looked at me questioningly and then at Pan. I understood his dilemma. What about Pan? I shook my head in negative. It would be better if they find out about him through the books. He looked relieved and said " My name is Grover Underwood, a satyr and I am a keeper of half-bloods. If you wish to know what a keeper is read the book. "
" I am Reyna Avila RamÃrez Arellano I am daughter of Enyo. Now that the introductions are finished let us begin the reading. "
Everyone nodded. I picked up the first book " Percy Jackson and The lightning thief.
Chapter 1: I Accidentally Vapourize my pre-algebra teacher. "
