A/N This is my first fanfiction so don't mind if you don't like it.
Also, I only own this story and not any of Rick Riordan's characters.
Lastly, The Kane Chronicles and Percy Jackson crossover, the trials of Apollo and Magnus Chase and the gods of Asgard did not happen.
Happy reading and give as much review as possible!
INTRODUCTION PART 1
Brooklyn House (21st nome), New York
Sadie's pov
(A/N No I am not doing her British accent)Today turned out to be a very interesting day. As you know after the great sun-eating snake named Apophis was defeated everything went back to normal, and fyi the definition of normal at Brooklyn house is ankle biters painting the statue of Throth in multicolour, Felix bringing a mini Antarctica in the middle of summer and our other initiates trying not to destroy the house while practising magic(punishment for that is no dessert for a week) and doing their summer holiday homework. So in short it was a set's favourite pastime chaos.
Now you would be asking where am I in the midst of this. Well, I was doing my project which was to find the whereabouts of a creative evil magician named Setne's ghost. I was in the library trying out some searching spells along with my boyfriend Walt.
Suddenly a bright light engulfed both of us causing us to close our eyes. When I opened my eyes I found myself in a very strange place. I pulled my wand and staff out of duat and took a defensive position. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Walt doing the same. We waited for something to happen.
My gut feeling was that I should not be here. There were 18 kids, and two of them seemed very similar. And is that one-half donkey? a very peculiar pony man and are those giants? This place is strange, really strange.
Cairo (1st nome), Egypt
Carter's pov
Yep as Sadie summarised today can be written as the strangest of days in the history of the strange days right next to the one when supreme god Ra was singing nursery songs and trying to eat Sadie's doorknob and yes also when my girlfriend turned into an old man. (A/N in the serpent's shadow)Now you would be asking why I am comparing today with those days. When one of your oldest enemies comes to you to ask for alliances and to seal it you have a book reading session with them. Who does that? it is literally ridiculous, no pun intended.
But what can I say we are in a weird world. Ok, I should start from the beginning. You see an evil psychopath ghost is on the loose, whose name you might have guessed is Setne. And I was in the first nome discussing our next steps with Uncle Amos and my girlfriend Zia yey! I love to state we have been dating for almost a year and a half.
When I saw one of our newest initiates running towards us. (A/N Yes 1st nome gained some new initiates duh!) He says to me"Sir some woman is waiting for you," At this Zia glares at me in suspicion. I raise my hands in the truce and say" He said 'Woman', and I am still a teenager". She blinks and turns away while Uncle laughs. The boy continues "She said her name is Bast. Isn't there a goddess having a similar name. Should I allow her to come in?"
By the time he finished, we were all gaping in shock. Bast here! Were gods not pushed back in duat when Aphopis left? All I could do was nod my head as a sign to let her enter.
He takes leave and a few minutes later Bast comes in. She hasn't changed a bit from the last time I have seen her. But what should I expect from her after all she is a goddess! Back to the topic as soon as she entered I started my twenty questions round "Bast! What are you doing here? I thought gods were no longer allowed to interfere directly ? Is there any problem with any other enemy as powerful as Aphopis rising? ", at this I shudder, " Because we still have not found Setne. Is it about him? Has he caused any more trouble down there that you have to ask for help? Because-"
At this, Bast cut me off with a laugh. "Carter breathe, seems like Sadie is affecting you ", I scowl at her and demand" Answer those questions Bast we have to catch a wanted ghost ". she replies, "Why Carter you didn't miss me?"
My face softens up," Of course, We missed you, especially Sadie but right now my priority is Setne as he is most probably in his destructive mode. So forgive me if my words hurt you. " " No, it is fine. I was just teasing you. And to answer your questions. No there is no enemy or any problems down there. Geez, can't a cat come to just meet her kittens? I came here for an important job. And yes I have come to talk about Setne only. As you might know, after the fall of Egypt, the Greeks and Romans defeated us and took our place. What you don't know is that Greek and Roman Gods are as real as us." At this, I could only gawk at her and try to process it all.
So there are other gods and maybe even other mortals related to them. Weren't there stories of them siring children with mortals? Are there Greek monsters too? "I know what you are thinking. Yes, there are mortal kids of gods, technically they are called demigods or half-bloods and they have monsters too. That is why you are prohibited to go in Manhattan. But you see yesterday, The Fates, they are three old women who decide the fate of gods as well as demigods as the name suggested, came to us and gave a proposal to combine both forces to avoid future conflicts. Also if we join hands we would get more hands to help in search of Setne and he could not even ignite enmity between us as the party on both sides will know about his plan. So what do you think should we agree? As you are the Pharoah so you are the one to decide.", She finished.
By the time she ended, I was a bit confused ." This proposal sounds very good. Ages-long enmity turning into friendship. A good idea indeed" Zia said."But it will only work if implied properly. One mistake and this would be similar to having world war 3" Uncle commented apprehensively.
In the end, I decided to take the dangerous path. Hey, what do you expect from us Kanes? We always try to take the hard way no matter what. I nodded my head in agreement and said " Fine let's see where this road takes us to. So... what do we have to do to tell we agree to their conditions?" "Oh nothing, you just have to attend a reading session of books about your adventures on the summer solstice, which by the way is today, to show them that you are no different than them.
Submitting to my fate I asked "What about Sadie and Walt? Shouldn't they also be there? " "Don't worry about them. They will be brought there too." " Ok, one last question why summer solstice?Why not any other day " "Huh oh I forgot to mention that summer and winter solstice is the day when the council of Olympus comes together to discuss and the demigods are also invited.
Usually, they chat about stupid things and the fates were getting rather tired of listening to that nonsense. They thought it to be a good idea to read the books on that day for a change." Suddenly a portal appeared in front of us. We stepped into it to reach the place of last thought was what kind of 'useless' talk they would do as gods are Batman better or Superman.
600th floor, Empire State Building (Olympus), Manhattan
Percy's pov
"Batman is better than Superman. "
"Air disasters are better than ocean disasters. "
"Stop pestering me you, cereal women"
"When will the day come when you will stop sleeping with other women."
"Stop flirting with my huntresses."
"As you wish, baby sis."
"And for the umpteenth time, I am older than you."
"I won Athens fair and square fish face!"
(My favourite one!)
As you guessed we were attending the summer solstice council meeting but everything was happening other than the meeting. Gods fighting like 5 year-olds, Travis and Conner planning their next prank while Katie kept eyeing them, Annabeth reading a book, Thalia snoring, Nico, Hazel, Frank and Reyna were discussing something related to funerals, Drew trying to flirt with Jason who in return was avoiding her and talking to Leo and Piper. On the other hand, Grover was listening to Lord Hermes who was telling him more about his duties as Lord of the Wild. Clarisse with her dad was egging them to fight with Chris trying to divert her attention. Chiron was keeping one eye on the gods and another on us. And I was sitting near the hearth happily chatting away with my favourite goddess Hestia.
Suddenly fates appeared in the middle of the room cutting everyone. We all stood up. Clotho said "Hello Demigods and Gods, You see we got bored with your useless banter and have decided that you need the plan to ensure no future war occurs-"But she was cut off by Uncle Zeus who thundered, "Who will even dare to pick up fight with us? Don't they know that we are the strongest pantheon to have survived a whole millennium? "Clotho wrinkles her nose irritated to be cut off and says"You know as well as I do that there is another pantheon too who survived ."
Murmurs about other pantheons begin around us. Lady Athena says"Are you talking about the Egyptians?"Lachesis says"Yes we are talking about them only." Then she turns to us and says "You see heroes there are not only Greeks and Romans gods but also Egyptian too. After Cleopatra's death the last queen of Egypt, they went underground, due to some reason, and worked from there only. Once a very strong pantheon became weaker with time even though they exist worldwide. But recently they have grown stronger trying to regain their former glory." "Ok, why did they become weak? And what happened recently?"Wise girl asked.
Atropos answers her," In the last few years a lot happened but for you to know one of Egyptians' oldest enemies was defeated. And the answer to your questions is given in the books." At that, Everyone looks interested, "And noticing their strength we decided it is time to create friendship between us and will increase our strength as well as avoid any future war."
Lachesis continues "So we have decided to invite them here and read a few books on the adventures of their heroes. "At this everyone except Athena and Annabeth groaned. Don't get me wrong I love the idea of befriending another pantheon and especially avoiding war but being ADHD and dyslexic I can't read to save my life.
Clotho ends the conversation by saying "Oh by the way they will be here any minute."
And the next minute a kind of door appears to their left and in comes 8 people. Two of them were women and 6 men. One woman has multicoloured wings with matching eyes. Other women had kind blue eyes and walked like flowing water. The next man seemed to be flickering between 2 people one time his skin was dark brown another time blue. Fourth was even strange looking with 2 coloured eyes silver and gold. He held himself like a king. The next one was an old man with a light glow around him and eyes orange in colour. Sixth looked like a crazy scientist with Einstein's hair and held a book. 7th one was a dark-coloured dude wearing a red suit who had an aura of evilness around while the last one was a small guy kind of dwarf with a mishap face like someone had hit him on the face with a hot frying pan multiple times. It was clear that they were gods from the power they radiated.
Wise girl seemed to be in a deep thought supposedly trying to recall them. Uncle Zeus shook hands with the 2 coloured eyes one signifying him to be king of Egyptian gods. Clotho waved her hand and different thrones appeared. The goddess with multicoloured wings said "Few more people are coming please wait for them before we all start introductions. "
So we waited and another door appeared, similar to the last one, came out 4 people two kids and two middle-aged people one man and another woman. The woman was wearing a jumpsuit and also radiated power like the ones who came earlier claiming her to be a goddess. The man had a cape on his back that looked like a lion's skin. He had dark skin colour. His facial features matched the boy's. The teenage boy was around sixteen years old looked quite muscular, like he practised a lot, and held himself as a leader. He was wearing linen clothes like a ninja and was holding hands with the girl .oh no Lady Aphrodite is so going to love this session. The girl had mocha-coloured skin and looked pretty intimidating in her camouflage dress.
Lady Hestia summoned another throne for the goddess and a sofa for the other three. Lady Athena said, "Now that everyone has arrived.."She got cut off by the boy who said," But what about Sadie and Walt?"
Immediately a bright light appeared and vanished leaving in its wake two more teenagers. They saw us but, did not notice the Egyptians, and took out two sticks from thin air and got in defense position which I thought to be funny. I looked around and saw that all the Greeks and Romans seemed confused or were trying not to laugh except Lacy and Drew, who looked like they have seen a ghost.
