Without further ado, let's start this fic
-Start-
Hello, my name is Percy Jackson, I am a boy of twelve years, although I am not normal. My father is a god, although I do not know which and my mother is mortal, although I do not only have a mother and ... Well, I'd better start from the beginning.
Until a few months ago, I was a student at a boarding school in New York, a troubled youth school called the Yancy Academy.
Am I a troubled child ?, some would ask and my answer is no, although it seems that I attract them.
I could use several examples in my life to prove it, but things got worse last may when our sixth grade class took an excursion to the Manhattan Metropolitan Museum
Imagine twenty-six hallucinatory children and two teachers trapped inside a yellow bus going to a museum to observe Greek and Roman artifacts and you will understand why I consider this a torture, although Mr. Brunner, our Latin teacher, was leading the tour , so I had hopes that this would be good.
Mr. Braunner is a middle-aged man in a motorized wheelchair. He has thinning hair, a scruffy beard, and always wore a tattered tweed coat that smelled of coffee. He always lets us play inside the classroom and tells great jokes besides owning a large collection of Greek and Roman weapons and armor. I dare say he is my favorite teacher although he is a monster.
How do I know that? Well, he smells like a monster, although I do not know which one and while we're talking about monsters, our other teacher to is also a monster, although she is not as gentle as Brunner.
I hoped nothing bad would happen on this excursion as on the other expeditions I did. In the fifth grade, we went on the Saratoga battlefield and I had a small incident with a cannon from the American Revolution and although he was not pointing to the bus, I was kicked out the same way and in the fourth grade, when we did a backstage tour of a tank of sharks, I accidentally activated a lever and our class took a shower and I was expelled again but at least the sharks laughed more than already laughed at their lives and I turned the pupular among the fish. I had hope that on this excursion walks would go wrong, but I had no idea how much I was wrong.
I was trying to be the best possible student on this tour, but Nancy Bobofit, a redhead kleptomaniac girl was hitting my best friend, Grover, with pieces of peanut butter sandwich with ketchup.
Grover was an easy target because he was skinny, emotional and crippled. He has a medical certificate that exempted him from physical education for the rest of his life because he had some kind of muscle disease in his legs and seems to feel pain when he walks, but you'd think he normal because of the speed he runs in the days we have enchiladas in the canteen and beyond all this he is also a monster and although I do not know which monster he is, at least he is a good person
Anyway, Nancy Bobofit was throwing sandwich balls that stuck to his curly brown hair and she knew I could not fight back because I was being watched with risk of expulsion should anything happen on that excursion.
"I'm going to kill her". I murmured as I cast a glare at her.
"It's all right, Percy, I like peanut butter." Grover said to try to calm me, but my gut was telling me to moderate nancy's throat until she begged for mercy, so when she threw another piece at Grover, I went I get up to attack her, but Grover pulled me back to the seat.
"You're being watched and if anything happens, you'll be kicked out." He said and I closed my eyes and began to calm down.
Soon we arrived at the museum, but as soon as we got off the bus, Nancy pushed me out of the way and ran to the gift shop to try to steal something, but I decided to ignore her this time
'As soon as we get back from this tour, you're going to pay me.' I smiled as I thought of fun ways to cause pain in the stupid girl.
Soon we wandered into the museum with Mr. Brunner leading the class, leading us through the great galleries full of echoes and passing marble statues and glass boxes filled with very old black and orange ceramics.
My mind could not understand how the ceramics survived so long and kept looking at them to try to see my mother, though I did not see anything related to her.
Mr. Brunner gathered us round a four-foot-tall stone column and a large sphinx at the top, and began to explain that it was a stele,a greve marker, made for a girl about our age.
I was trying to hear what he was saying, because it was a little interesting, but everyone around me was talking, and every time I said shut up, Mrs. Dodds would look at me if she could turn me into stone with her look and if her identity as a monster were Medusa, then she really could and the only luck I had is that I was in public.
Her human appearance reminds a Georgia math teacher who wears a black leather jacket, despite being fifty years old. Her appearance exudes meanness and it looks like she can run over you with a Harley and then still step on her body lying on the ground to avoid stepping on a puddle of water. She had arrived in Yancy in the middle of the year after our last math teacher had a nervous breakdown
From the very first day, she adored and began to protect Nancy while she treated me as if I were a son of the devil, although being a monster, she must think so of anyone who is the son of a god.
I was listening to Mr. Brunner continue his explanation of Greek funerary art when Nancy laughed about a man naked in an art that was meant to be a solemn moment and I told her to shut up, but I spoke louder than I intended and then The whole class was laughing. I tried to pretend it was not me, but soon Mr. Brunner interrupted his class.
"Mr. Jackson, do you have any relevant comments?" He asked.
"No sir." I quickly replied with a red face of shame but Brunner would not let the subject end up like that and pointed to one of the pictures on the stele.
"So maybe you can tell us what that picture stands for."
I looked at the picture and I recognized it from the lessons with my mother
"Cronus eating his children," I said with conviction, but Mr. Brunner was not satisfied with that alone.
"Yes, but he did it because ...?"
"Well, Cronus was the titan king and for not trusting his children, he ate them but his wife, Rhea, hid his last son, Zeus, and gave a stone to Cronus to eat in his place. After Zeus grew up, he deceived his father making him vomit his sons and daughters and they defeated him along with the rest of the titans who followed him "
"Eeew!" I of the girls said behind me while Nancy whispered to a friend ...
"As if we were to use this in real life. Nowhere are they going to ask why Cronus ate his children."
"And taking advantage of your classmate's question. Why is this knowledge useful in real life? Mr. Jackson"
"Busted." Grover murmured with a happy smile on his face.
"Shut up," Nancy said, her face more flushed than Erza's hair.
I wanted to laugh at this, but I decided to answer 's question instead
"Well ... in some lines of work, this information may be important," I said, being a little vague.
nodded, though I saw his eyes that I was on the right track, but that he wanted a better explanation.
"Well, half a point, Mr. Jackson. Zeus actually gave Cronos a mixture of mustard and wine, which made him vomit the other five children, who, of course, being immortal gods, were living and growing undigested in the titan's stomach. their father, cutting it into pieces with their own scythe and scattering the remains in Tartarus, the darkest part of the with that joyful comment, it's time for . Dodds, wants to take us back out ? "Brunner asked with a slight smile.
Mrs. Dodds was walking out of the building followed by some girls holding their stomachs and some boys pushing each other like idiots. Grover started to follow them, but before I could follow him, I heard the voice of Mr. Brunner
"Mr. Jackson."
Grover stopped pacing, too, but I shook my head and waved him forward before turning to face my teacher.
"Sir?" I asked as I looked directly into his eyes that had a soft brown glow and the intensity of a warrior who lived a thousand years and has seen too many things
"You need to learn to answer my question in a more concrete way."
"About using that knowledge?" I asked and he nodded.
"Exactly, your response was not bad, but it was not what I expected. What you learn from me is of vital importance and I hope you will address it as such. From you, I will accept only the best, Percy Jackson." said before moving the wheelchair to the museum starbucks.
I wanted to be angry with him because he was pushing me too hard. It was cool on tournament days when he wore Roman armor, swinging his sword and challenging us to run to the blackboard and name every Greek or Roman person by name. lived, the name of his mothers and what gods worshiped. But Mr. Brunner expected me to be as good as everyone else, even though I had dyslexia and attention deficit disorder, and I never took a note above C- in my life.
I could not memorize all those names and facts, only some that my mother taught me and the names of some interesting monsters, but I could not write them even if my life depended on it.
I decided to leave the museum quickly, but not before seeing Mr. Brunner cast a long, sad look at the stele in the starbucks row, as if he had been at that girl's funeral.
As soon as I left the museum, I saw Grover sitting near the fountain in front of the museum, eating his food while watching the cars passing on Fifth Avenue.
As I sat next to my friend, I saw the great storm forming above us whose clouds were darker than any I had seen before.
Since Christmas,the time in New York state was very strange and I would bet the gods had something to do with it, after all my mother said they always keep arguing about stupid things and if they were not immortal with almost unlimited powers , they could debut their own teen drama school program
No one seemed to notice the great storm. Some of the boys were throwing cookies at the pigeons. Nancy Bobofit tried to fumble something from a lady's purse and Mrs. Dodds pretended she could not see anything
"Detention?" Grover asked, but I shook my head.
"Brunner would never give me detention. I just wish he would give me some time sometimes. I mean, I'm not a genius as he thinks I am and my dyslexia gets in the way a lot
Grover was silent for some time and it seemed he was thinking of something. I waited for him to release some deep philosophical comment to make me feel better, but as he turned to me, he asked ...
"Can I eat your apple?"
I sighed before handing the mace over to him since I was not too hungry so I decided to watch the taxis passing down Fifth Avenue and I thought of my mom's apartment in the residential area next to where we were sitting.
I had not seen my mom since Christmas and my only wish at the time was to hop in a cab and go home. My mom would hug me and be glad to see me, but she would also be disappointed and would send me back to Yancy, reminding me that I need to work harder, even though this was my sixth grade school in six years and that I would probably be kicked out for out again. I could not bear the sad look she would cast at me.
Mr. Brunner parked his wheelchair at the base of the disabled ramp eating a celery while reading a novel. He had a glass of starbucks in the drink holder and a red umbrella was tucked into the back of the chair, making it look like a walking coffee table.
I decided to eat the bread from my lunch, but before I could bite it, Nancy Bobofit appeared before me with her friends right behind her and let her half-eaten snack fall into Grover's lap as she smiled.
I tried to calm myself down, closing my eyes and controlling my fury as my mother had taught me, but when I looked at Nancy, I saw her inside the fountain screaming that I had pushed her
I was confused, but before I could complain, Mrs. Dodds materialized beside us while some colleagues were whispering about the water attacking Nancy, which made me even more confused than before.
As soon as she made sure Nancy was fine, promising to give her a new sweater from the museum gift shop, Mrs. Dodds turned to me with a triumphant gleam in her eyes, as if I had done something for her to wait for him whole semester.
"Now honey, come with me." Mrs. Dodds said as I pointed to the museum, but before I could move in the right direction ...
"Wait! It was I who pushed Nancy to the fountain." Grover screeched, despite being afraid of Mrs. Dodds, making me very surprised and causing Mrs. Dodds to glare at him.
"I know it was not you, Mr. Underwood." She said making my friend shrink.
"But ..." He tried to say, but she shook her head.
"Will you stay here". She said before Grover looked at me desperately, but I simply smiled slightly at him.
"Relax, man, I did not do anything and as soon as I explain, I'll be back, but thank you for trying." I said as I cast a glare at Nancy, who was smiling, and turned to the museum, seeing Mrs. Dodds in front the entrance of the museum, waving impatiently at me
'She must have done some kind of teleportation, so she must not be an ordinary monster, I better be careful.' I thought as I approached her, but in the middle of the stairs, I looked at Grover who looked pale, moving his eyes between me and Mr. Brunner, as if I wanted Mr. Brunner to notice what was happening, but the professor was engrossed in his novel.
When I turned back to Mrs. Dodds, she was already inside the museum at the end of the entrance hall, but when I finally got close to her, we returned to the Greco-Roman section where we were earlier, even though she was empty at the moment
Mrs. Dodds stood folded in front of a large marble frieze with the Greek gods emitting a brief growl in the throat
Even without the noise, I would have been nervous. Mrs. Dodds was staring at the frieze as if she wanted to pulverize him making my instinct raise a red flag and while she was distracted, I silently prepared myself for a fight.
"You're causing us problems, honey." She said in a voice that emanated malevolence, but I was quiet at the moment to hear more.
"Did you really think you'd get out of this?" She asked as she adjusted the sleeves of her leather jacket
"I'll try harder, ma'am," I said as I slowly curled my body closer to the floor, but then a thunder shook the building.
"We're not fools, Percy Jackson. It would only be a matter of time before we found out. Confess, and you'll feel less pain.
She was after something and she thought I had whatever she was behind
"Ma'am, I do not ..."
"Your time is up," she hissed before beginning to take her true form.
His eyes began to glow like barbecue charcoal, his fingers stretched into claws, his coat merged into large leather wings and his mouth was filled with yellowish fangs
I soon recognized her as a Fury and as I did not want to be cut into several pieces, I also decided to reveal my other form.
I put my hands on the ground as silvery fur grew all over my body, my hands and feet turned paws while my body took the form of a large fox, but where the tail was, there was only smoke forming a form that looked like a tail and finally my transformation ended when several red lines appeared through my body and I opened my eyes revealing that one of them was still sea green while the other was silver
"What, in the name of Hades, is you Percy Jackson." She asked as her jaw was wide open in surprise.
I held on to my laughter, just for being in a tense and growled situation just before responding
"I'm a Kitsune, but you're wrong in one thing, Fury"
"What?" She asked as she looked at me.
"In that form, my name is not Percy anymore. My name is Percephone, after all I'm a female." I said as I remembered the day I got that way.
-Flashback-
On a beautiful night, during one of the traveling with my mom on the beach of Mounteauk, I was walking the night in a small grove because I could not sleep when suddenly I heard the moan of an animal in pain but when I arrived on the spot , I just could not believe what I saw in front of me.
I saw a large fox the size of a car with golden fur, silvery lines across the body, and four large tails lying with great injury running all over the side of his body, in addition to other minor injuries
I ran quickly to his side and went to rip the sleeves of my coat to cover the wounds, but the fox laughed with a clearly feminine voice
"It's impossible, you do not even have to try kid." She said in a strong but tired tone of voice because of the injuries
"But if I cover the wounds, they can close." I said desperately ignoring the fact that the fox had spoken to me, at least at that moment
"I'm dying and nothing you can do can save me. All living things die one day, but I did not want to leave without resolving my last regret." She said with a tired gleam in her eyes.
"What regret?" I asked.
"There is a girl that I always visited. She is extremely shy to approach any human, except her parents, for being mute.
In addition to her parents, she is only happy about animals. We became friends and I would give her this necklace for her but unfortunately, because of my current situation, I will not be able to. "She said as she lifted one of the tails and showed me a beautiful silver necklace with a gold fox tied in the tail of it.
"This is a protective necklace that symbolizes our friendship, but I will not be able to deliver it to her." The beautiful kitsune said as she shed a tear, causing Percy to shed a tear unconsciously
"I'm going to hand this necklace over to her," Percy said, gathering all her courage, but kitsune laughed.
"No one, besides me and her, we can touch this anyone else touches it, they will feel various collateral effects, the last one being death. The only way you can hand the necklace is if you absorb my power after that I die, but this will turn your body into a kitsune body, but since I am a female then you would also turn into a female in the form of kitsune and I'm sure no male would do it of their own free will. " She said with an ironic smile, but her smile was erased when Percy shook his head.
"I do this, even if I had to abandon my male form." I said with a conviction of iron
"Okay, if you're really going to do that, then by emony let me explain what you can do with the body of a kitsune." She said and I soon sat next to her to hear the explanation
"Your five senses will be sharper than before, plus you have greater stamina, endurance, endurance, speed and healing, as well as having a strong bite and night vision. You will have a predatory instinct that will turn you into a master of hunting, as well as being able to regulate the temperature of her own body. "She said, but before she could continue I raised my hand
"I'll have it all in my kitsune form alone?"
"No, in your human form, you will still have some of those things, but they will be much weaker than kitsune. But back to the topic, you can also freely change its size from 1 centimeter to the size of a mountain. your tails will be pre-sessile, so you can use them as arms or as weapons. "
"Your special abilities will depend solely on the domains you will acquire when tails are coming up, although you can handle fox fire."
"What are domains and what is fox fire?" I asked confused.
"Domain are the spheres of influence of the gods. Each time you acquire a tail, you will have access to a domain, it will be weak at first, but as other tails are arising, your powers will increase. An example would be your first tail, so let's assume you get the domain of water, then you will be able to manipulate the water, but it will be little at first. As soon as the second tail comes up, you will have access to a new domain and the previous domain will be fortified. This will happen every time that you get a tail, up to the maximum of nine "
"Responding to your other question, fox fire is a black fire that consumes everything it touches, according to the will of the kitsune that launched it, in addition to being practically inextinguishable except for the will of kitsune or some other more difficult methods. even souls if they are exposed to it for a long time, so be careful when using it. "She said looking at me intensely until I nodded.
At last your claws and teeth will be made of a metallic alloy that combines celestial bronze, imperial gold, stygean iron and lunar silver, I gave it a name, but you can give your own name since you will be the only one possessing it of that alloy. She was created by my friend Hestia, goddess of the hearth as a gift and now I'm passing on to you. "
"But my body does not only come with positive points, so now let's talk about the negatives. If you die of old age or in your kitsune form, you will reform into a kitsune permanently and can no longer return to human you reach the age of thirteen, you will be stuck in the form of kitsune until the period ends, but if you get pregnant while in the form of kitsune, you he will be trapped in this form until he gives birth to his offspring. In addition,your offspring may only be female.
"Other than that, the other downside is that demigods, hunters and monsters will try to kill you. The hunters as a prize for hunting, because any creatures of another mythology that they put in their sights become an incredible trophy. The demigods simply because they consider kitsunes like monsters and monsters because we have souls like humans, so watch out for all of them. " She said smiling before coughing blood.
"It seems like my time is up. I'd like to stay with you and answer your many questions, but I'm sure someone will explain them one day. Now accept my farewell gift." She said touching the tip of her nose on my she begins to fade into light.
As soon as it disappeared completely, the points of light enveloped me and began to enter my body and soon I had assumed the form of a kitsune, but I had no tail. As soon as I became completely complete I heard the voice of the kitsune saying thank you before the spots of light disappear into the sky.
I picked up the necklace to deliver it to the girl but I did not know where to go until I looked at the back of the necklace and see instructions on how to get to where the girl was, so I quickly went to the indicated location although I had to use the first five minutes to learn how to walk.
I soon arrived in a clearing where a little girl at the age of six was looking around, but as soon as she saw me, she smiled and I could see a gleam of relief in her brown eyes. Her hair was blonde and she was wearing a yellow dress, white socks and pink shoes in a look that made her look like a little princess
She came up to me quickly and gave me a hug before clawing after my ears making me roll on the floor of happiness and soon she was stroking my belly with her small hands, making me tremble with the good feeling.
As soon as I got up again, I took the necklace from my neck and put it in her hands and a feeling of happiness filled me when I saw her smile when putting on the necklace, but since I could not take too long, I quickly returned to the forest, although I have declined in size to that of a rabbit and watched her play for some time before returning to normal size, but as soon as I stepped away from the house I heard a voice behind me.
"It was a good thing you did for this girl, Percy Jackson." That voice said, and I soon turned my head to see a girl with brown hair appearing under a brown scarf wrapped around her head and with a simple brown cloak covering all her body like a long dress, but what most attracted attention were his eyes made of pure fire.
"Who are you?" I asked as I felt the mere presence of her calm me down.
"My name is Hestia, goddess of hearth and home".
"Are you the Greek goddess Hestia?" I asked in surprise as I bowed my head
"Yes, I am, but you do not have to bow down to me. Your body belonged to my only friend from another mythology and as soon as I felt what happened, thanks to my connection with her, I saw what you did and thank you for you make your last request "
"No problem, lady Hestia." I said as I gave a small smile.
"I know the difficulties that kitsunes go through and since you've helped my friend, I'm going to help you too. As you are now demigods, hunters and monsters will attack you, but if I adopted you then they, except the monsters, could not attack you, unless they wanted me as an enemy. "She said smiling as she saw my surprise face
"Really?" I asked.
"Yes, but I have to warn that adoption will only provide powers for its kitsune form, although I also see its human side as my son"
"What powers will I gain from your adoption, Hestia?"
"Your fox fire will become more powerful, besides you being able to summon food and it will also create a mark on your skin that will indicate to the demigods and hunters that you are my daughter and are under my protection"
As soon as she finished saying that, I quickly bowed my head at her. "I'll humbly accept your offer," I said, making her smile before she beckoned me to approach her.
As soon as I got close, she placed her hand on my forehead.
Before I adopt you, I need you to decide on a name for your kitsune form." She said and I nodded before trying on several female names, but none of them fit, but then I remembered that my hand put my human name inspired on a Greek home, so I would also use the same inspiration and as soon as I had this idea, I thought of the first Greek goddess whose name matched my
"Percephone, my name will be Percephone Jackson." I said liking how it sounded
"It's a beautiful name, my daughter, now we can begin." She said and closed her eyes before whispering words of power.
"Έχω Εστία, ελληνική θεά της εστίας, το σπίτι, το δικαίωμα παραγγελίας της οικιακής ζωής και της οικογένειας, αποφασίζει να εγκρίνει την Περσεφόνη Τζάκσον ως πρωτότοκη κόρη ημίθεος μου". She said though I understood it as: I Hestia, Greek goddess of the Hearth, Home, the right ordering of domesticity and family, adopt Percephone Jackson as my firstborn demigod daughter.
As she finished speaking, I felt a powerful surge of energy flow through my body as my fox fire, which I felt instinctively, became more powerful along with the other power that came along with adoption
Hestia took a mirror from her cloak and reflected my head showing that in the center of my forehead, the red lines that ran through my body formed a heart enveloped in flames.
"Thank you ... Mitera." I said a little confused by calling someone else, except Sally Jackson,from mom.
"Your welcome, my daughter, but now that you are my daughter, I must teach you a few things about your immortal family." She said smiling before sitting on a nearby rock and motioning for me to approach
-Flashback End-
I decided to take advantage of the shock of the Fury and jumped, striking the side of her hip with my claws making her scream in pain as much blood fell to the ground
"You're going to pay for that girl." She said angrily as she tried to cut me off with her claws, but I jumped on top of the stele and swung my tail against Mrs. Dodds's face, but as my tail was made of silver smoke, it dispersed as soon as it hit her face, although it made her distract herself and I took this chance and conduced a ball of fox fire in my mouth before casting on Mrs. Dodds
As soon as the ball hit the target, it was shrouded by black fire and screamed in sheer agony as I could see the membrane of its wings turning to ashes, but I decided to interrogate it and extinguished the fire.
Mrs. Dodds was terribly burned and by the state of her body, she could not walk, fly or eat solid food for a while, but I approached her and put a paw on her neck.
"What do you want from me?".
"The helmet you stole ..." She said before closing her mouth and looking into my eyes with pure hate emanating from her gaze so I decided to put her out of her misery and bite her throat, making her turn to dust, but unfortunately my mouth was also filled with dust
'My bite can be powerful, but I hate the dust that stays after I kill a monster'. I thought while summoning some mango juice to wash my mouth
As soon as I finished washing my mouth, a necklace appeared on my neck and emitted a light pink glow before disappearing again
'Mitera's gift seems to have worked again, that was a great gift, thank you.' I thought, and soon a small symbol in a vase, which I recognized as my mitera's symbol, glowed indicating that she heard and I smiled before back to my human form and left the room to avoid being blamed for the burning of fox fire on the floor
I received 3 gifts from my mitera for each birthday. The first was the necklace that erases the memory of a monster I kill to prevent it revealing my secret to other monsters, the second is a magic bag that disappears when I enter in my kitsune form, but it reappears in my human form and the third was a red bow that allows me to shoot fox fire arrows in human form.
As I was going to the exit,I passed Mr. Brunner in the hallway who looked at me as if he had seen a ghost, but I ignored him as I thought of what the Fury said.
'She said that I stole a helmet, but I've never stolen anything in my life, so she must have mistaken me for someone else or someone is passing me by. If it's the first case, then a simple explanation can solve the problem, but if it's the second then someone's going to get bitten when it's all settled '.I thought as I left the museum, but before I could go to Grover, who was using a map of the museum as having to protect himself from the rain that began to fall Nancy saw me and smiled.
"I hope Mrs. Kerr has whipped her ass." She said, making me confused, but soon I remembered that Hestia had explained to me about the mist and decided to ignore her and go to Grover
As soon as I got close, I decided to tease him a bit and asked about Mrs. Dodds and got the answer that I expected
"Who?" He asked, pretending not to remember her, but he did not look at me as he spoke.
'Grover is a really a very bad liar, so I'll keep an eye on him. I hope I do not have to fight my friend, but maybe that's necessary.' I thought as got our class together and we went on the bus to go back to school together with a woman I'd never seen before, so she should be Mrs. Kerr.
