AN: This is my first story so don't expect an amazing story. I am shooting for a mediocre story. If you are going to hate, then just stop reading and leave. Other than that I hope you enjoy it!
Chapter 1:
Timeline: Right after defeating Gaia in the throne room on Olympus
Percy's POV
We had just arrived on Olympus after the fall of Gaia and the gods went to their thrones while we demi-gods sat on the floor of the throne room. Everyone was still celebrating the victory against the primordial of the Earth.
"SILENCE!" Zeus bellowed as he threw his master bolt onto the floor successfully silencing everyone.
'Drama queen' I thought to myself.
"Today, we are here to celebrate and reward the seven demigods of the prophecy and some others. So let us begin!"
"JASON AND THALIA GRACE!" Zeus called up first probably because they're his children.
"You both have surpassed all expectations and the council agrees if you accept to make you both immortal minor gods! Never die and have ichor running through your veins and arteries! Do you both accept?"
"I respectfully decline father, but I do have one wish." Jason said while looking back at Piper.
"Ask then, my son." Zeus said with sadness in his voice. Obviously because he wanted his son to become a god.
"I wish for me as well as Piper to become partial immortal like the Hunters of Artemis." "Very well, Artemis can you please make them partial immortal?" Zeus asked while looking at Artemis.
"Sure, father." Artemis responded while walking to Jason than to Piper. They both glowed a bright silver color making everyone avert their eyes away from them. Artemis walked back to her throne after, as Jason and Piper came back to us smiling. I patted Jason on the back and said, "Well done man!" holding out my fist to fistbump him. He fistbumped back while smiling.
Everything repeated. Everyone from the prophecy and some others were offered the same thing. Thalia declined stating that she would be the odd one out in the hunt. Leo accepted and became the minor god of forges and fire. Frank declined with Hazel becoming partial immortal like Jason and Piper. And then came Annabeth…
"Annabeth Chase!" Athena boomed. Annabeth first looked at me and I smiled back at her while she let go of my arm and went to the center of the throne room to first bow to her mother than to Zues. "I am extremely proud of you and you have done so much more than my other children. With that said, we are offering the same thing to you as well. Minor godhood!" Athena said looking at Annabeth with pride in her eyes.
"I accept!" Beamed Annabeth without hesitation. My heart shattered into a thousand pieces. The throne room became extremely quiet as everyone stared at her in shock. I felt betrayed and heartbroken. She led me on for years! And then she has the nerves to dump me in front of the whole council! I gave up godhood for her! Athena then spoke with happiness evident in her voice, "I am so proud of you Annabeth! Let's get started, father!"
Zeus then nodded his head looking at the rest of the council who just nodded their heads in approval. They started chanting in Ancient Greek "Annabeth Chase, heroin of Olympus, daughter of Athena and Frederick Chase, a demigod of the prophecy, let golden ichor flow through your veins and let you become a minor god, become a minor god and rule over your domain with strength, leadership, and responsibility. Let your domain be decided by the Fates, daughters of Ananke primordial of Necessity and Compulsion. You will be known as Lady Annabeth to those whose powers are under yours."
As soon as he finished a beam of multicolored lights shot directly at Annabeth. She stumbled a bit from the power of the blast but then regained the strength to stand up. As if this was planned the Fates flashed into the throne room the second Annabeth stood up. The three of them spoke at the same time. "Annabeth Chase, your domains are: Betrayal, Architecture, and Daggers." Then the three of them flashed out of the room.
Annabeth came back and didn't sit next to me. She sat between Hazel and Reyna which didn't surprise me after she just broke up with me. But someone spoke/yelled which broke through my thoughts.
"PERSUES JACKSON!" My dad yelled. I stood up immediately and went to the middle of the throne room. I first bowed to Zeus than I kneeled in front of my dad. "Rise my son, you have done Olympus a great favor. You have now saved us 2 times. So you shall be rewarded. The council has agreed we shall grant you a seat amongst us in the council of the Olympians." My dad exclaimed.
"I respectfully decline." Which didn't shock my the council like they were expecting this. My dad just sat in his throne in defeat. "But, I do have another wish that I will need the council to swear on the river styx that they will grant if it's in their power and is reasonable." I said as I looked at Zeus.
He groaned. "Fine, the council swears on the river styx to grant your wish as long as it's reasonable and is within our power."
I started my wishes. "First, I want the peaceful titans such as Calypso and Leto to be released from their prisons since they have done nothing wrong and I think they have served enough time on their islands. Second, I want you to remove the ancient law that binds you to not visit your children. And finally, I want Lord Hades' and Lady Hestia's thrones to be returned to them. And that is my wish, I hold you to your oath, all of you.
There were faces ranging from shocked to anger to excitement and respect. "Very well nephew, we shall grant your wish." Zeus said as he snapped and 2 new thrones appeared on the edges of the council. One was obsidian black with skulls on it and the other was orangy red with fire coming out of the back of the throne. Hestia ran over to me and kissed me on the cheek smiling while walking to her throne. Hades just gave a nod of appreciation. "Hermes, will you please get Calypso and Leto and also free the other peaceful titans from their prisons later." Zeus asked his son.
"Yes Father," Hermes replied before he flashed out. 5 minutes later he was back with two females beside him. One I recognised instantly, the other I knew was the mother of the twin archers. Leto. Both of the titanesses looked at Zeus before both dropped onto a knee bowing. "Lord Zeus, may I ask why we were summoned?" Calypso said confused. Zeus just pointed at me and Calypso turned and saw me. She ran over to me and hugged me hard. Like breaking ribs hard. She hugged me while repeating the words "thank you" over and over again.
"As I said before, I don't make promises that I can't keep." I responded. Calypso then went off to a seat near Thalia. I saw Leto hugging her children and having a good time. "I guess the award ceremony is finished so lets start partying! Hestia and Demeter can make the food and Dionysus you can create the drinks. Alright let's get started!" Zeus boomed as people made their way towards the door of the throne room into the courtyard. As soon as everyone left the throne room I left and tried to make my way to the elevators not wanting to party.
As I was walking I saw a grey eyes women standing in front of me. Athena. "Lady Athena", I bowed. "Rise young hero. I'm sorry for what Annabeth did-" She started before I cut her off. "It's fine Lady Athena you can't control what your children do. It was her choice not yours. Don't blame yourself." She nodded before she disappeared into the crowd. This kept repeating with gods and goddesses walking up to me congratulating me. It took probably 30 minutes just to make my way to the elevator. As soon as I pressed the button, a girl about eight years old walked in front of me. "Lady Hestia" I bowed. It felt weird bowing to an eight year old that was shorter than you.
"Percy doesn't bow to me and doesn't use formalities. You have my respect and I'm sorry for what happened in the throne room." I was pretty surprised because most gods and goddesses want me to respect them by bowing and calling them lady or lord before their name. "I am here to offer you something before you leave. But first come sit on the bench over there and have a talk with me." I followed her to the bench and sat next to her. "So, what is it that you wanted to talk to me about?" "I want to make you my champion." Now it isn't often that gods have champions but, Hestia? That's a whole different level. She has never had a champion in her lifetime and that's pretty long.
"I accept." She beamed with happiness. It would be a lie to say if I wasn't happy. "Ok Percy you may go but be careful and remember your powers." She said as she tapped my forehead and information shooted into my brain. I felt smarter and stronger. "Look at yourself in a mirror and check your eyes later." she said happily before she as well disappeared into a bunch of people.
