Percy POV

Ok so I know that we kinda left off our story on a cliffhanger. Let's fix that. So after Earth Mother was defeated there way much rebuild and repairing to do. So after a few days of fixing Camp Half-Blood from the attacks *cough cough Octavian* the gods asked us 7 Reyna and Nico to come to Olympus. The rest of the Legion had already gone back on their way to Camp Jupiter. Hazel, Frank, and Reyna said they'd be on their way once we got our camp repaired. Jason said he'd be around for a little longer. Oh ya it took like 5 minutes to find Leo. But hey when you have a bunch of gods help everything is easier, expect deciding on pizza that's NEVER easy. We were sitting right outside the main room waiting to be called on.

"So what do you think they are doing in there?" Asked Leo.

"I don't know. God stuffs?" I replied.

"And what do you think 'God stuffs' are Seaweed Brain?" My beautiful girlfriend asked me with an eyebrow raised.

"I don't know Wise Girl. What do you think their doing?" I came back with.

After thinking for a moment she said "Maybe trying to align their Roman and Greek counterparts so they don't get a quite literally mind-splitting headache. Or trying to figure out what to do with us."

"What do you mean by that?" Cautiously asked Piper.

"What do you think? We have 9 demigod here that could pose a pretty big threat to them if we wanted to," answered Annabeth.

"What do you mean a big threat to them?! We just saved the world from a really bad, really powerful hippie!"Replied Leo.

"Did you just call Gaea a hippie? "Asked Jason.

"Yep"

"Ookkaayy getting back on the topics at hand how would you feel about a bunch of demigods that just took down giants and the Mother of them all? Just in this room we have a child of each of the Big Three and two from one, one of which can raise an army if he wanted to. Two who have taken down Titans by themselves and that can create tornadoes and hurricanes if they get made enough."

"Hurricane's cooler" I added while getting a high five from Frank.

"Getting back to it, again, we have another who can pretty expertly manipulate the Mist. Another who can influence gods by talking to them. One who can transform into anything that he can think of. And another who can create fire hot enough to kill a god. And me a demigod smart enough to find what no one else could for centuries."

"Don't forget modest enough" added Reyna.

"What about Reyna?" Piper asked.

"What about Reyna?" Wise Girl coldly replied.

Before Reyna could kill Annabeth Piper expertly talked her down, with a little help from her charmspeaking. Then the doors opened and Hermes came out.

"We are ready for you now" he said.

We all looked at each other and went to talk to the Olympian Console.

When we entered we bowed like it was customary. Then we were told to "Raise Heroes of Olympus" by The King of the Gods. I'm not sure if it was Zeus or Jupiter. When you looked at him one way he'd look like Zeus and if you looked at him a different way he was Jupiter. All the gods were like that. But enough on that. Then Zeus, just going to call him that till I'm told otherwise, announced "Brave demigods we would like to formally thank you for saving the world from our mother. It is the decision of this console to not smite you were you stand. In fact we would like to grant all of you godhood. What is your answer?"

We all looked at each other in shock. Then Jason replied with, "Can you give us a moment to talk to each other?"

"Sure my son. We shall give you the room for a few moments. Just don't sit on our thrones"

Then the Olympians flashed out. And it was Leo who reacted first saying "GODHOOD?! So much for them taking us out"

"Well sorry for thinking cautiously. How can we just turn down godhood?" Annabeth came back with.

"Pretty easily. Don't you remember I did it before? After we defeated Kronos." I reminded her.

"Yes, I remember that Seaweed Brain. Do you still stand by that decision still?"

"Ya. I mean this entire thing was started by the gods forgetting their humanity. If we become gods who's to say that won't happen to us?" I answered her. Everyone kinda liked shocked at me. "What?!" I asked.

"Nothing. It's just we didn't expect that coming out of you" Frank answered.

"So is that all of our opinions? No to godhood." Asked Piper. Everyone looked at each other and nodded. After we all agreed the Olympians flashed back in.

"So what is your decision?" Zeus boomed.

I stepped forward and answered my Uncle "No. We do not want to become gods." I looked at the rest of the Olympians and I saw my father, Ares, Athena, and Hera smile.

"So for a second time Jackson you have rejected godhood. What would you like instead?"

That's when Jason stepped forward and said "We want you to recognize the minor gods more so something like this didn't happen again."

"Is that the opinion of all of you?"

We looked at each other then back at Zeus and nodded. "Then we shall make it so. Now we have much to still talk about. So you are dismissed." It was then that we were teleported back to Camp Half-Blood. It was about 10pm and after a long day we all just wanted to sleep. So we all went our separate cabins while Reyna went to the Big House since there was no cabin for her godly parent. That was the best night's sleep I got in a while. No visions, no dreams, just sleep.

I woke up about 7 by the sound of the construction of repairing the camp. As I slowly woke up from my grogginess I looked around for the remote. One of the first things I did when we got back and started repairing was put a TV in my room, being a hero of the world has some perks. I also got a King sized bed now but if I ever get another sibling or when Tyson comes to visit I can pull out more beds from the walls. Thank you Leo. I turned it onto the news to see what the mortal think was going on. Something about a huge storm on the Parthenon and outside New York. I really don't know I was barely listening. Seeing a mysterious note and pad of paper on your bedside stand will do that to you. Picked it up and to my surprise was able to read it. It said

Dear Percy,

After you left yesterday we all agreed that you deserve more than just recognition for the minor gods. And so since you saved the world not once but twice we grant you this godly coupon book. Just sit down and rip the god/goddess coupon that you want to redeem. They will appear to you in your mind so no others will know what you are asking for/receiving. Only you may use them. Use them carefully.

Sincerely,

Your family

P.s. don't tell the others about this, except Annabeth. They all received their own gifts. If they ask you what you got say you can travel to Atlantis whenever you want. By the way you can just go in water and think about it.

"Cool" I thought. I then started to look through them and found all the Olympians and a minor gods. It's one of those magic things that look like it's really small but it's really big. The pages kept going and going. Then I came across one that I don't expect. Hypnos. I was curious what he would offer me being that I kinda fought him, then again I fought Ares and now he kinda tolerates me. So I sat down and pulled his coupon.

I was in my mind. I know that from the note. I was in what looked like a therapist office. The couch and chairs and everything. Then I saw Hypnos sitting at his desk reading papers of some kind. He looked up at me and said "Welcome Jackson. Please sit."

"Ok thanks. So how does this work? Do I ask for something out do you give me something?"

"Straight to the point I like that. It depends on the god or goddess that you summon. I will just give you a gift."

"Ok so what is it?"

"The ability to put anyone, nah anything, into a hypnotic trance and have the listen to and obey your every command."

"Wow how do I use this? Is there any limit? Why are you giving me this power?"

"You just get them to sit down, count down from 3 and then snap. No limit other than you can't hypnotize me or anything that doesn't have a life, like a rock. Also don't try to entrance a big crowd of people for a while. It might be too much for you to handle. And I thought it would be interesting to watch you wield this power." Before I could ask anything he snapped his fingers and I was back in my cabin sitting on my bed.

"This could be cool" I thought. But I was too hungry so I ran off to breakfast.

shorter first chapter but I need something to set the story up. There will be a lot more in future chapters.
