Plot: Five year old Percy Jackson was abandoned by his sister who joined the hunt. Eight hundred years later, two twelve year old boys, both children of Poseidon stumble into camp, one is in shock and awe about the Greek world but the other seems to have known about it and has skills that can rival the gods themselves. But one thing confuses everyone, why does he hate the hunt so much?

Pairing: PercyxArtemis

13th Century, Europe

Jennifer POV

”So Jennifer, do you accept my offer?” Artemis, goddess of the Hunt, Moon, Maidens, and Childbirth questioned. A few of her Hunters, a group of eternal maidens that follow her, stared at me expectantly. I have to admit, the offer was tempting. I was being offered immortality from a goddess, but...I looked at the tent flap, where I know Percy is outside. He means the world to me, I couldn't afford to leave him alone, especially if what Lady Artemis said is true. He'll be in danger.

Artemis must've noticed and spoke. ”I understand you care for your brother, but he will become like the rest of them out there.” I shook my head. ”You don't know that,” I said. ”You're ȧssuming.” One of her Hunters opened her mouth to speak, a red haired girl, but Artemis raised her hand, silencing her. ”But I do, Jennifer. My brother is the god of prophecies. He can foretell the future. He said the boy is special.” ”And you ȧssume that he's going to be bad?” I demanded.

”The boy is powerful. My father, Zeus, scents a aura surrounding the boy. A aura he hasn't felt in centuries.” ”And what is that?” She looked me dead in the eye with her piercing silver eyes. ”Poseidon. God of the Seas and Earthquakes.” ”And what does that have to do with Percy?” I demanded. ”He's a son of Poseidon, so what?” ”Thou do not understand how powerful he is,” one of her Hunters said.

She had coppery skin, her nose was tilted slightly. Her eyes were a shiny, almost black color. A silver tiara resided on her head. ”Children of Poseidon are rare, but also very powerful.” ”If trained properly, a child of Poseidon is most likely the most powerful demigods ever born,” Artemis said. ”Stronger than Hades or Zeus's children.” ”He's five!” I protested.

”He doesn't know who he is. I'm all he has,” I said. ”His mother was killed in a raid, he's taken into slavery. He's only five and you said it's only going to get worse.” I shook my head. ”I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to decline your offer. I will not leave Percy at the mercy of monsters, or gods,” I looked at Artemis. ”You can keep your immortality. Unless Percy comes along, I want no part of it.” I stood up and headed to the tent flap till she spoke again.

”I did not want to tell you this, but the boy will die anyway.” I froze. ”What?” I looked at Artemis. ”If you lay a finger on him-” ”Zeus has ordered for me to find the son of Poseidon, and bring him to Olympus.” ”For what?” She looked at me with what looked like pity. ”Execution. Zeus will kill him before he grows up and becomes a threat.” I realized what she meant.

”Are you scared of him?” Her eyes narrowed. ”Watch your words girl,” she warned. ”I have been lenient with you because you have potential. I do not want it to go to waste, especially when it comes from a maiden.” ”You're scared he'll grow up and become powerful, too powerful even for a god to control him.” ”No demigod is stronger than a god.” ”Then what about Hercules?” I questioned.

”You said he held up the sky. Something only an immortal can do.” ”He is a child of Zeus.” ”And Percy is a son of Poseidon. He's more than capable to do it. And you said Poseidon can gain many allies if he wishes to overthrow Zeus. Zeus is scared Percy can do the same, but your brother, Apollo, said he's special. Meaning Percy will be able to do something no one can do,” I met Artemis' gaze evenly.

”Such as defeat an Olympian?” Thunder rumbled dangerously in the background. ”You are smart,” Artemis said. ”Smarter than I thought. But yes,” she nodded. ”That is the reason Zeus wants him killed. Together, he and Poseidon would be a powerful enemy.” ”And you would take the risk of inflicting Poseidon's wrath on yourself by killing his son?” She sighed.

”I am thousands of years old, you are still a child. I have seen boys like your brother, I thought, that maybe, they would be good. But,” she shook her head. ”They end up like the rest. Your brother will be the same.” ”Not that it would matter,” the red haired girl said. ”He will be killed anyway.” Artemis nodded. ”Do you feel any guilt?” I questioned.

”Why can't you leave him alone? He's young. He won't remember any of this. Let him live a normal life.” ”His life will never be normal anyway,” Artemis said. ”Once he understands who he is, his aura will grow stronger, drawing monsters near him and those surrounding him. Would you prefer it if Ares, the god of War. A son of Zeus and my immortal brother, is sent to hunt him down?” She questioned.

”Or Athena, the goddess of Wisdom, Poseidon's arch rival, is sent to hunt him down? Neither will be merciful when it comes to the boy. I am far more lenient than my half-siblings. Let it be quick and painless. It will be over before you know it.” ”Easy for you to say,” I said glaring at Artemis. ”He isn't your little brother.” She nodded.

”Take your time. This is a lot to process, when you make your choice, tell me.” I nodded, so many thoughts were swimming around in my head at the moment. I can join Artemis and receive immortality, never age, never get sick. But I'll be leaving Percy. I thought. But Percy will be killed anyway, for being a son of Poseidon. Why should I have to join him?

I quickly shoved that thought out of my head. So I got two choices. I was torn. I really wanted to join, but I couldn't afford to leave Percy. Even if he will be killed, I want to stick up for him, even if the result is death.

”I,” I couldn't seem to get the words out. ”I choose,” I looked at the tent flap, where Percy was outside, probably looking for me. Guilt and hurt wormed its way into my heart, along with shame. ”I made my choice,” I turned back to Artemis and her Hunters. ”Yes?” She probably already knew my choice. ”I-I accept y-your o-off-offer.” I looked down, my world already seeming a little less brighter.

”I know this is tough,” Artemis said. ”But you made the right choice, trust me. We will guide you through the hardships. We're your family.” I flinched, remembering I told Percy the exact same thing. ”Recite the oath,” Artemis said. ”I pledge myself to the goddess, Artemis.” ”I-I pledge myself to the goddess Artemis.” ”I turn my back on the company of men.” I recited it, but in my head, I heard this.

I turn my back on Percy. ”I accept eternal maidenhood, and join the Hunt.” ”I accept eternal maidenhood and join-” My voice gave out on me. Tears blotted my vision. I closed my eyes, trying to prevent the tears from spilling. Please Percy, please forgive me.

”And join the Hunt.” A silver glow surround me. I felt healthier and stronger, but guilt wore me down. Artemis said something but I didn't register it. I felt hands on my shoulder.

I had the sudden urge to look up. I did and saw a female and male in the shadows, looking at me in disgust. ”You will regret this.” I heard a voice hiss in my head. I couldn't help but shudder at the voice.

It was female, but it sounded ancient, older than Artemis, and much more deadlier than Artemis. I closed my eyes and shook my head. When I opened my eyes, they were gone.

”Come on,” Artemis said putting her hand on my shoulder.

”Let's go meet your family.”

”Here comes Apollo.” Artemis said looking up at the sky. ”Look away so you don't get blinded.” Percy stood beside me, looking tired but still smiling nonetheless. The guilt from last night coming back twice as strong. I grabbed his hand and squeezed, knowing this is the last time I'll be able to do this. The sun started to rise.

”Look away.” We all looked away, except for Percy, who was looking around confused. ”Look away Percy,” I said quietly. He turned towards me and smiled. ”I'm glad you're talking to me,” he said smiling. ”I was worried you were mad at me.” Not mad at you Percy. Mad at myself. I tilted his face to the side. ”Please close your eyes.” He was confused, but nodded nonetheless and closed his eyes.

I felt the heat get hotter and hotter, the light blinding me, even through closed eyes. When I felt like I went blind, the light died down. The heat subsided, but it was still warm. I opened my eyes and had to blink a few times to regain my vision. When I regained my vision, I gasped. Before me was a chariot, but what had me in awe was the chariot was on fire as a man walked out, seemingly fine, as if the fire didn't bother him. ”Artemis!” He said happily. ”It's been too long. You never stop by, how have you been?” Artemis sighed.

”Everyone, this is Apollo, god of the Sun. The son of Leto and Zeus, and sadly, my twin.” ”Don't forget Artemis, I'm the oldest.” His eyes widened as a silver arrow embedded itself in a tree, missing his head by inches. ”Apollo for the last time I'm older than you,” she growled before pinching the bridge of her nose and speaking in a more calmer tone. ”I need you to take these four demigods to camp,” she said pointing at four more demigods and Percy, who hid behind my leg. I gently pushed him forward.

Apollo nodded. ”Sure thing lil sis, hop on everyone.” Artemis spoke, ”Apollo, do be careful. Last time you brought demigods to Camp Half-Blood, they fell out of your chariot and you didn't even realize.” He waved it off, looking at the demigods till he saw Percy. His smile widened. ”What's your name kid?” Percy hid back behind my leg and clutched, refusing to let go.

”Apollo, you're scaring the boy,” Artemis said but if Apollo heard her, he didn't acknowledge it. ”Percy,” he mumbled shyly while Apollo nodded. ”Well Percy, my name is Apollo,” he extended his hand out to him. ”God of the Sun, Medicine, Prophecies, Archery, and Poetry.” Percy's brow furrowed, showing he didn't understand a word Apollo said.

Slowly, he shook Apollo's hand.

Apollo smiled, as if it pleased him Percy shook his hand. ”Alright everyone hop on.” Apollo smiled as the four demigods slowly got on the chariot, looking around for something to grab, but Percy seemed excited. ”Come on sis,” Percy said. ”Let's go check out this camp.” He pulled on my hand, but I stayed glue to my spot. He looked at me confused. ”Hey,” he started to pull harder. ”What are you doing?” I shook my head, trying to stop the tears from falling.

”Sis,”hHe started to pull with more urgency. ”Come on.” I looked at Artemis for help. She noticed and gestured for Apollo, but he stayed in his spot. One of the campers stepped out of the chariot to grab Percy, but Apollo shook his head. ”Let her do it,” he said. ”It wasn't you who left him.” Percy looked at me pleadingly.

My heart hurt. ”Percy,” I choked out. ”I'm can't come.” I led him away from everyone else. ”W-Why?” I looked at him, his sea green eyes looking slightly dull, as if he already knew what I was going to tell him. I told him everything.

When I finished, he stared at me in shock and betrayal. ”You-You,” his eyes were glistening. ”You left me. You don't even know them!” He screamed. ”You left me, for them!” He pointed in the direction of the Hunters and Artemis.” ”Percy,” I reached out to grab his arm, but he scrambled away from me. ”Get away from me!” I heard footsteps nearing us.

”Percy, just listen-” Every time I tried to grab him, he scratched, clawed, and bit to get away from me. My heart was shattering more and more. The Hunters emerged with their bows along with Artemis, the campers had their weapons out. Apollo emerged, walking casually, like it was a normal day for him.

One of the Hunters sent a arrow straight towards Percy.

My eyes widened. I moved towards him, but before I could reach him, something weird happened.

As the arrow sailed towards Percy, the shadows around us moved towards Percy and started to surround him like a shield. The shadows swallowed the arrow. It was silent, everyone staring at the wall of shadows in shock and surprise. A few seconds later, the red haired girl who shot the arrow cried out in pain. The silver arrow lodged deep in her thɨġh.

Before anyone could react, Artemis spoke. ”Apollo,” her voice was calm, but filled with shock. ”What are you doing?” I turned and saw Apollo had a golden bow out, a arrow in it, but he had it pointed at Artemis's head. ”Doing something I should've done a long time ago.” ”What are you going to do? Kill me? Father will have your head.” She spoke with confidence, but I sensed her uneasiness.

Apollo laughed. ”Of course not,” he said. Ignoring the twenty to thirty arrows pointed at him. ”Then why are you doing this?” ”Because what you're doing is wrong. You know it, so do the rest of the Olympians. Only I, Aphrodite, Hermes, and Poseidon went against this. You never could say no to father. You have a weak will like the rest of the Olympians. Can't even say no to something cruel.” Artemis' eyes widened.

”You heard the prophecy,” Artemis said. ”Oh, I know Artemis, I said it. A child of Zeus, Poseidon, or Hades will save Olympus or raze it. I said Perseus is special,” he looked towards the dome of shadows. ”Time for you to find out why.” Percy. I completely forgot about him. I spun around and just managed to catch him run into the forests.

”Percy! Wait!” I shouted, chasing after him. Before I reached him, the shadows wrapped around me and threw back into the ground. I landed on my shoulder, popping it out of place. I gasped in pain as the shadows started to swirl a few feet away from me, forming two figures.

Apollo's bow disappeared, immediately, Artemis and her Hunters had their bows pointed at him. Just as Artemis went to speak, she noticed the shadows forming two figures. She looked at Apollo. ”You will regret this,” she hissed. He smirked. ”Sure I will Artemis,” he nodded his head in agreement. ”I certainly will regret this.” She turned back to the shadows and raised her bow, the Hunters doing the same thing.

The demigods raised their weapons, only Apollo stood there defenseless. I stood up slowly, clutching my shoulder. I looked at the swirling shadows, they were disorientated, so I couldn't see if they were male or female. ”Who would've known the Olympians would stoop so low, killing a boy.” A male voice said.

”They're Olympians,” a female said. ”They are lower than Tartarus. If possible, lower.” The shadows formed two figures. Judging from the two figures build, one was female and the other was male. I still couldn't see what they looked like, they were still blurry. ”Who are you?” Artemis demanded, pointing her bow at them. Suddenly, her bow was yanked out of her hands and landed in the female's hands.

”Watch yourself daughter of Zeus,” the female hissed, the shadows surrounding us so much no light shown in. ”I am not someone you want as an enemy.” ”You dare to threaten a Olympian?” Shadows wrapped around Artemis' neck and yanked her toward the female till they were face to face. ”You dare to threaten a primordial?” Artemis' eyes widened. The figures started to become more clearer.

”N-Nyx,” Artemis choked out, trying to pry the shadows off her neck, but they only tightened, making her pale skin start to turn blue. The Hunters released arrows, but golden arrows split them in half. They spun around and looked at Apollo in shock. ”Thou dare to betray thy own kin?” The girl with the tiara said, looking at Apollo shocked. ”I'm betraying no one. I'm doing the right thing, something that could save Olympus or destroy it. And it all begins with Perseus.” The female released Artemis, who collapsed to the ground in front of the two figures.

I managed to make out black eyes, black eyes that swirled with unknown power, making Artemis seem like a child compared to her. ”There,” the female said, her black eyes drilling holes into Artemis. ”You've learned your place. You know where you belong now.” Apollo turned to the two blurry figures. ”Lord Erebus,” he bowed to the male, then turned to the female. ”Lady Nyx.” They looked at him as Artemis stood up, her breathing returning to normal, her skin returning back to its normal color.

”Apollo,” the female, Nyx, said. ”Out of all the Olympians, you are among the few I least expected to help.” ”You're helping them?” Artemis said, looking between Apollo and the two deities. ”You're helping primordials? Beings who we thought faded.” She was slammed back into a tree. The Hunters raised their bows, but they were all yanked out of their hands and all thrown back by shadows. ”Do we look, faded,” the male, Erebus, spat.

Artemis stood up, a cut on her cheek, where golden blood flowed. Her silver eyes pulsing with power and bȧrėly restrained anger. ”Attack us daughter of Zeus,” Nyx spat. ”I'll be happy to make a Olympian fade.”

”How do you know what he wants and what he doesn't want?” I demanded. They turned towards me, as if finally realized I was here. Nyx disappeared and reappeared in a few feet in front of me. Before I could react, she pointed her hand at me. Shadows shot out from everywhere and wrapped around my neck, lifting me up into the air. ”Because we have been watching him,” she said.

”He wants a family, something he was stripped off.” The shadows tightened around my neck. I tried to pry them off, but it was a futile effort. ”He will grow up to become a great hero. His skills will surpass every immortal out there, but his skills with the sword will be unmatched by everyone, save for our father. He will become the most powerful demigod to have ever walked the planet. He will have fame and power that some gods would be willing to die for. He will be Olympus' most greatest hero, surpassing that worthless hero, Hercules by a long shot. One day he will make a choice, he will either save the Olympians or be the cause of their destruction.” Everyone's eyes widened at her statement.

She flicked her wrist, and the shadows threw me back into another Hunter, sending us both to the ground. ”We have more important things to do than deal with a prideful Olympian.” Nyx looked to the sky. ”You coming with me to Olympus,” Artemis turned to Apollo. ”Father will know of this.” Apollo raised an eyebrow. ”Will he now?” As she went to speak, a golden flash appeared beside Nyx and Erebus.

”You call sister?” I heard as the golden flash died down, revealing a man with hair that looked red with gold streaks in it. ”You call?” Nyx pointed at us. He turned to us, revealing pure golden eyes. ”You know what to do.” He nodded and started to mutter. Whatever it was, it wasn't human, but something far older than the gods. Nyx and Erebus turned towards us. ”Now if you'll excuse us, we have to go and greet a new member of the family.” I realized she was talking about Percy. I went to take a step forward. But suddenly, I felt like passing out.

I looked around and saw the campers and Hunters were on the ground, eyes closed. Artemis included. ”They aren't dead mortal.” I turned back and saw Nyx, Erebus, Apollo, and the golden-eyed male staring at me. ”Know this, Jennifer Jackson,” Nyx hissed. ”The next time you see Perseus, it will not be pleasant.” I collapsed to the ground, darkness consuming me.

Percy POV

I ran off into the forests, moving past the trees and branches till I tripped. I laid there and started to cry. ”What did I do wrong?” I stood up, wiping the tears away. ”Where did I mess up at?” ”You didn't go wrong anywhere, young hero.” I looked up and saw a woman in front of me.

I started to back up. She put her hands up and spoke. ”I mean you no harm, young hero.” She smiled at me, and I felt like she meant no harm. I was still wary, though. ”Who are you?” I said, trying to sound intimidating, but was failing terribly. She noticed and her smile widened. ”There's no need to fear me Perseus, nor is there a reason for you to seem threatening. I would never harm my nephew.” I stared at her confused as she sat down on a log.

”Sit down, young hero.” She gestured for me to sit by her. ”Why do you keep calling me that?” I said slowly walking towards her. ”I'm no hero.” I said sitting beside her. ”My sister left me,” I muttered, tears threatening to spill. I felt arms wrap around me. ”She made her choice, Perseus. I call you a hero because that's what you are. You will become a great hero,” she said.

”A powerful hero, if not the greatest to have ever live.” ”Heroes have happy endings,” I said. ”I'm going to die alone.” ”Perseus,” she tilted my head up so I could see her eyes. Her eyes were like a fire, but not a raging one. A calm one. Warm with no intention of harming.

”Are you a god?” I questioned. ”Yes Perseus, I am a god.” ”Which one?” She smiled. ”Hestia, goddess of the Hearth.” I frowned. ”I never heard of you.” ”You have Perseus, but in a different name. Gods are real. We move wherever the fire burns the brightest, and that is here,” she gestured around. ”First we were in Greece, then moved to Rome, and now we are here.” ”What's 'Greece' and 'Rome'?” ”I will let your family explain whenever they get here.” Family? I have no family, but didn't say anything.

She continued explaining everything to me about gods till a thought came to me.

”The campers called me a demigod?” I questioned. ”What does that mean?” ”A demigod is a half mortal, half god. You are the son of Poseidon, god of the Seas and Earthquakes, who is also my little brother, making me your aunt.” She smiled. ”Why hasn't he ever helped me?” I demanded. If my dad is a god, where was he when my home was burned to the ground and my mother was killed while I was taken into slavery?

She spoke, as if reading my thoughts. ”Do not blame your father Perseus. He has helped you more than he should've. When you were on that boat, didn't you notice how the water healed your wounds and how you didn't get seasick like everyone else did? Your father has been protecting you for the longest time.” I realized she was right, my father has been helping me whenever he could. But he still should've helped in some way, he did love my mother right?

”Why don't the gods see their children?” I said. ”The Ancient Laws.” ”What are those?” ”The Ancient Laws are what keep the gods from seeing their children, these laws bound every immortal there is; Olympian, Titan, Giant, or a Primordial. Every full immortal must follow these laws.” A thought came to me. ”How can those two gods be down here then? Aren't they supposed to be bound to the Ancient Laws?”

”Those are the twins of Zeus and Leto, Apollo is the god with the blue eyes. Artemis is the goddess with silver eyes. ”The one with all the girls?” She nodded. ”Those are her followers, the Hunters of Artemis, which you met a few minutes ago.” She said apologetically. I nodded.

”How come she's down here. ”Artemis is the only Olympian who is sort of free from the Ancient Laws because of her domains. Maidens, the Moon, and the Hunt. Her domains are more connected to mortals than anyone else's.” I nodded again.

”A powerful being and his children came to me and offered you a home with them.” ”Really?” I questioned hopefully. ”Can someone really help me?” She nodded. ”I wish to help you before you leave, as do one of your cousins and my brother.” I opened my mouth to speak, but a flash appeared beside us, making me close my eyes.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a man in front of us. He had light blue eyes and a smile so bright it was like looking at the sun. ”Apollo, tune it down,” a voice said. ”You're going to blind me and the boy.” The light died down, thankfully. I looked to where I heard the voice, but didn't see anything. ”Look closer, son of Poseidon.” ”Hades,” Hestia said.

”Stop messing with him. Come on.” A figure appeared out of the shadows beside Hestia and the other male. Hestia spoke.

”Perseus, meet your cousin, Apollo” she pointed at the blue eyed male. ”And your uncle, Hades.” She pointed at the other male. He was hard to see, due to the shadows seemingly embracing him, but I did see the dark piercing eyes clearly. I shivered. ”So, this is the spawn of Poseidon.” Hestia glared at him. ”Usually I would kill you but,” he sighed. ”My sister said you play a important factor in the near future and that I might take a liking to you,” he looked at me with his black eyes. I felt like he was looking into my soul. Trying to dig into my deepest fears and secrets. ”So, I've come to see if it's true.” I nodded shakily.

”Perseus,” I looked at Hestia. ”I am a maiden, which means I never had children. I would like to adopt you,” I stared at her stunned. ”If that would be fine with you,” she said nervously. I continued to stare at her stunned till I hugged her tightly. ”I'd love that, mom.” I felt her hug me back. A sudden warmth overcame me. ”As my son, you have the ability to summon fire, but beware Perseus, the fire is linked with your emotions. If you get too mad, it will turn to Greek Fire, which is nearly impossible to extinguish.”

Apollo spoke. ”I know we won't be able to talk much, sadly.” ”Apollo,” Hestia said. ”Right, anyway, I'm going to make you my champion. Doing this you will have every power of mine, which includes the ability to see into the future.” He smiled. ”Apollo,” Hades said. ”Is that safe for the sea spawn? Making him a champion at such a young age, that much power would burn him alive.” My eyes widened.

”He survived Aunt Hestia's blessing, a full blessing. He'll be fine.” Apollo put his hand on my shoulder. I felt fine, till I started to sweat, and felt like I was being burned from the inside out. I screamed, feeling white hot pain move up and down my body. I thought it would never end till it started to slowly die away. When the pain left my body, I looked up and saw Hestia looking at me in shock and relief.

Hades stared at me shocked and impressed. Apollo was smiling. ”Told you he had it under control,” he said turning toward me. ”Children of Poseidon are naturally terrible at archery, but with the people you're going to be living with you should be fine.” Hades spoke. ”What about Orion?” Apollo growled. ”Don't. Ever. Mention him again.” He snarled.

I backed up, looking at Apollo shocked and slightly scared. He must've noticed my expression because he stopped and looked at me apologetically. ”I'm sorry if I scared you,” he said. ”I just don't like Orion. It was unnecessary.” His expression brightened. ”But, you do have the powers of healing, archery, poetry and haiku, and the ability to see into the future.” I looked at him shocked.

Hestia pushed Hades forward. ”Erm, I guess I'll make you my champion too.” He muttered as shadows surrounded me. A cold chill moved up and down my body, making me shiver. When the shadows disappeared, I felt better and powerful. Very powerful.

”As my champion, you have the ability to shadow travel, enter the Underworld with ease, and summon the dead. As you get older and train, you will be more powerful.” I opened my mouth, but he held his hand up. ”No need need to thank me.” I closed my mouth and nodded.

Hestia spoke. ”Lord Aether should be here any minute.” I opened my mouth but a bright flash appeared. I closed my eyes but the light still blinded me, even through shut eyes. After what felt like a eternity, the light died down.

I opened my eyes and gasped. A angel stood in front of us. He wore white armor, that would've blinded me if I didn't turn away. Massive pure white wings emerged from his back. He had a friendly smile on his face, despite his terrifying appearance.

”Lord Aether.” Hestia said bowing along with Hades, and Apollo. ”No need to bow to me, especially you three.” His voice was smooth, it made me feel safe. He turned toward me. ”Is this him?” They nodded. ”This is Perseus Jackson, the son of Hestia, Champion of Hades and Apollo.” He nodded.

”How old is he?” ”Five years old, Lord Aether.” Apollo said. ”Five years old and still survived three full blessings,” he mused. ”Looks like father and Nyx were right about this demigod.” I spoke. ”Are you a angel?” He laughed and spoke. ”I am Aether, Primordial of Light.” I stared at him stunned and confused.

”I believe Hestia has told you everything?” ”Sort of.” He nodded. ”I'll fill in any details,” he turned toward Apollo, Hades, and Hestia. ”You three should head back. I sense Zeus is starting to get suspicious of the massive power here.” They nodded while Hades disappeared. ”He always was a man of few words,” Aether said. Apollo spoke. ”Good luck cuz, feel free to come to earth and visit me. When you're older, I'll even let you drive the sun chariot.” He said smiling. ”Sun chariot?” I said confused as he disappeared in a flash.

”What did he mean? He makes it sound like I'm not going to be on earth.” I said turning towards Aether. ”That's because you won't be on earth, you'll be in the Void with me and my family.” My eyes widened. Hestia hugged me. ”Good luck son,” she whispered. ”Go become the hero you were born to be.” I hugged her back feircely. ”I will mother,” I said. ”I won't let you down. I promise.” She smiled. ”I know you won't son.” She released me. ”I know you won't.” Fire started to swirl around her.

”Remember Percy,” I looked at her. ”The Hearth has the ability to help, more than bring destruction.” Before I could speak, the fire swallowed her. When it died down, she was gone, leaving me and Aether.

”Are you ready Perseus?” He questioned. ”I know so much happened to you in such a small time span-” ”I'm ready,” I said looking at him. ”You sure?” I nodded ”Alright then,” he put his hand on my shoulder. ”Let's go home Percy.” Together, we disappeared in a flash.

Eight hundred years later

Third POV

The Void.

It is nothing, yet it is everything.

Many think it is where immortals go when they fade. This is true, but what no one knows, is the Void is also the home of the primordials, and the Creator of the Universe. It is a beautiful place. Simple, yet beautiful. Unlike Olympus, which is filled with statutes of the gods' greatest achievements, and statues of Hercules every where.

But Olympus will never match the beauty of the Void, despite what they think. The primordials' home make Olympus look like it was created with garbage.

In the palace of the Creator's home, his youngest and only half-blood son, lay in bed, writhing and muttering. Judging from the sweating pouring down the his face, he was having a bad dream.

He was in his mid-twenties, maybe twenty-seven. He had defined features, high cheekbones, etc. His skin was a perfect tan. A mop of raven black hair was on his head. His eyes were closed. He looked like a god, of course, being the son of the Creator, that's very likely.

”No,” he muttered, turning to the side. ”No,” his voice was slowly rising in volume. He clenched the bed sheets so tight his knuckles were turning white. ”No!” He bolted upright in his bed, breathing hard, revealing his eyes. And they were a sight to behold.

Whenever you look into his eyes, you tend to get lost in the magnificent swirl of colors. His eyes were the deepest shade of black possible, stars and galaxies twinkling deep in his eyes, an occasional fiery comet shooting across his eyes. Ringed around his pupil, different colors, such as gold, blue, purple, and other colors would glow before changing into another beautiful color.

”Percy?” Shadows were pulling themselves to the side of of his bed. ”Are you okay?” The figure in bed, Percy, looked as the shadows started to form into a figure. ”Yes,” Percy said once the shadows dispersed, revealing a female, looking at Percy in concern. The female's eyes were very much like his. The deepest shade of black, but the only difference was Percy's eyes reminded everyone of the universe, the female's eyes reminded everyone when you look up at the night sky.
