Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Rick Riordan is a genius when it comes to adapting mythology and I wish I could have written what he has.

Golden Waves

Prologue

Betrothals

The two men were sitting quietly on opposite sides of the table, while a woman in black and red chiton red over a long roll of papyrus. Of course if one were to look closely at the two men, they would be able to tell that the two were not men at all. Their features were too perfect, their clothes, consisting of a royal blue chiton and golden peplos for the man on the right and a sea green chiton and shimmering mother of pearl pelpos for the on the left were to fine to have been made anywhere on earth, and the aura of power surrounding them would make any king or emperor seem as insignificant as an ant. No the two were not men but gods, two of the most powerful gods in fact. The one on the left was Poseidon, Ruler of the Seas, Earthshaker, Bringer of Storms, and Father of Horses. And the one on the right was his brother Zeus, King of the Gods, Lord of the Skies, and Wielder of Lightning.

The longer the woman was reading the more the two gods started to become impatient, and eventually bored. Poseidon started to smirk at his brother, for soon he will have won a great victory over his brother. Zeus who felt he was getting the raw end of the deal, just scowled at his brother. Poseidon's smirk got bigger causing Zeus to finger the lightning bolt at his side. A few more minutes went by and just as Zeus was getting ready to blast his brother back to his seas, the woman spoke.

"I have looked over the contract and once the two of you agree I will hold it to be binding. So let's get started so I can get back to my river. Do you Zeus swear on the waters of my river, that you will follow the following contract? That you will adhere to all the stated checks to your governing powers, which were established when Poseidon and Hera caught you in the golden net. To strengthen the agreement do agree to the wedding of your first demigod daughter, Aellai to Poseidon's son and heir Triton? And that Aellai upon marrying Triton will be given godhood? And if for whatever reason the wedding cannot take place, do you o swear that your son Apollo, God of the Sun, will wed Poseidon's first demigod daughter on her sixteenth birthday, whenever she may be born. And that upon her marriage to your son Apollo, that she will receive godhood. And if for whatever reason the either marriage shall not take place you will abdicate your thrown to your brother Hades, Lord of the underworld and submit to his rule." The woman asked the King of the Gods.

"I do so swear on you waters, Styx" vowed Zeus to the Goddess.

"And do you Poseidon swear on the waters of my river, that you will never conspire to upsurge your brother, Zeus so long as he adheres to the checks that have been stated. To strengthen the agreement do agree to the wedding of your son and heir Triton to Zeus's first demigod daughter Aellai, who upon her marriage will receive godhood. And if for whatever reason the two will not wed, do you swear that on her sixteenth birthday you will marry your first demigod daughter, whenever she may be born, to Zeus's son Apollo God of the Sun. And agree that upon her marriage to Apollo your demigod daughter will receive godhood. And if for whatever reason either marriage shall not take place you will submit to the rule of your older brother Hades, lord of the Underworld." Styx asked the Lord of the Seas

"I do so swear on your waters, Styx." Poseidon vowed.

"Then as witnessed by my river and I, I Styx Goddess of Hatred declare your oath binding once you have drunk from my waters." She says as she hands two cups of freezing water to the two gods to drink. Together the two brothers sip from their glasses shuddering as the water turns their veins to ice. The second the water passes the gods' lips the contract turns golden and embeds itself, in the rock lining the river, where it will remain forever more as proof of the brothers' vows.

As the vow is hapening

"I, Aellai daughter of Zeus, pledge myself to the goddess Artemis. I turn my back on the company of men, accept eternal maidenhood, and join the hunt." Said the black-haired girl, kneeling in front of the goddess Artemis.

The thirteen year old girl, had been kidnapped by a group bandits, who had taken joy in telling her exactly what they would do to her when they reached their camp. The men had gotten the drop on the demigoddess and had managed to hit her on the head, making it hard for her to focus her powers and fry the bastards with lightning. Just when Aellai thought that there was no hope her sister and her huntresses had burst out of the woods and killed the bandits.

Now kneeling at the feet of her savior, Aellai felt safe once again. Once the goddess accepted her oath, she would never have to worry about men again, and for a young girl who was just attacked it was the best deal in the world.

I accept you as one of my hunters, Aellai daughter of Zeus may you join me and your sisters in the hunt, forever more a maiden." Artemis said, and Aellai glowed silver as her new immortality took hold. Just then Hermes appeared.

"Aellai daughter of Zeus, Your father summons you to Olympus so that you may be married to Triton son of Poseidon, as part of an agreement between your father and his brother." The messenger god intoned.

A the next

I, Stxy, Goddess of Hatred, witness the amendment made to the contract between Zeus king of the Gods and Poseidon Lord of the Seas. At such a time as Poseidon has his first daughter, the girl will be unable to escape her marriage to Apollo, God of the Sun, through any means including but not limited to, marrying someone else, taking a vow of maidenhood, and or entering the services of another immortal. If the first born daughter of Poseidon is to die before the wedding has taken place, her spirit is to be brought to Olympus, where she will be raised until she is of age to marry." The goddess intoned, adding the two brothers' ichor to a chalice containing water from her river and pouring the mixture over the old contract, where the new amendment was engraved in the gold.

I love the original Percy Jackson books, and k hope you do to. Please review, I also love to get comments on my stories.
