The Mark of Perseus

Athena's Gratitude

Epilogue: The Son of Perseus

Jack was still staring after Nico and Percy, even when they had already fallen. He was crying over the loss of his mother. Again. At least until someone from the ship called loudly for him.

"Hey, kid! Get on the ladder before you fall!", called a brunette satyr, waving at him wildly.

Jack nodded stiffly and turned around to grab the ladder dangling in front of his face. If he would have his powers under control yet, he could have shadow-traveled his parents to safety. But he promised his dad Nico that he would stay with those people until they'd reach the Doors of Death. When he reached the top of the ladder, the brunette with a goatee offered him a helping hand. There were so many people. A grumpy daughter of Ares, standing next to three sons of Hermes, a daughter of Pluto, a son of Mars and a son of Hephaestus. A daughter and a son of Zeus/Jupiter. A redheaded girl and a blonde guy that felt like Apollo, a legacy perhaps. A harpy and a cyclops too.

"Malcolm, Katie, Annabeth, Piper and Reyna are down with the healers", reported a punk-girl that felt like Hecate to Jack. "Everyone else is accounted for. Aside from... Where are Percy and Nico?"

"I... They... They fell into Tartarus", confessed Jack uncomfortably, shifting some.

"What the fuck?!", growled Travis, furiously, trying to lash out at the stranger, only held back by Clarisse who rolled her eyes at him. "Who are you even?! How could you let that happen?!"

"I—I'm Lord Jackson, the Shadow King and Lord of Darkness, also most awesome Trickster God, but you can call me Jack, it's shorter", said Jack, trying to sound sure. "And I'm the son of Perseus."

The blonde daughter of Athena who just hobbled up on deck gasped. "I knew it!"

She had such a hunch, she had to go on deck and talk to Percy about it. But now it seemed Percy and Nico were gone again. And Jackson was on their ship, looking like a lost puppy.

"What does that mean, Annabeth?", asked Connor sharply.

"Percy told me about it. H—How Hera used him to create the ultimate union between gods and demigods. T—That's why, unlike Jason, Percy didn't appear at the Roman camp right away. Because Hera waited until Percy's pregnancy was over. He... named the boy Jackson before Hera took him away from Percy", explained Annabeth with tears in her eyes. "He's Percy's son."

"Sister-auntie-cousin Hebe aged me, because Hera wants me to fight in this war", added Jack, one hand in the back of his neck, rubbing it. "I came here to help. And to see my mom. Hebe told me stories about mom a—and I... I wanted to meet him, but now he fell into Tartarus. I wanted to go after them, but daddy Nico told me not to. He said I have to tell you that Tartarus leads to the Doors of Death and that he'd keep mom safe and that I'm supposed to go with you to the other side of the doors so we can meet up with mom and dad there."

"If you're also Nico's son, does that... uhm... mean...", stammered Connor uncomfortably.

"I'm your son too. Yes. Travis and Connor Stoll, that's... uhm, you two right?", questioned Jack.

"This is going to be a long-ass journey", sighed Leo frustrated.

He got Jack's attention by that and the boy whirled around, staring surprised. "My Leo!"

"W—What?", yelped Leo flustered as the older teen clomped him.

"You found me in Rome and wanted to bring me to my mommy!", exclaimed Jack with a broad grin, hugging Leo tightly. "You're my friend. Right? You'll help me find my mom again."

Leo stared surprised. The pretty woman with black hair and green eyes hadn't been a woman. It had been Percy who the little boy named Jack had talked about. Jack was Percy's son. Oh.

"I... Sure thing", nodded Leo, smiling slightly. "Percy is my friend too. We'll help him."

"So we open the Doors of Death, save Percy and Nico again, go to Athens and kick Gaia's butt?", grunted Clarisse, cocking one eyebrow. "Piece of cake. Easier than telling the gods that their Percy got lost again. And that they have another case of sudden fatherhood going on."

~*~ The End ~*~

Author's note: That's it. The end of "Mark of Perseus". The "House of Love" will have chapter-wise split POVs, one focusing on the gods with flashbacks on their relationship with Percy and what they think will happen, another for Nico and Percy in Tartarus, one for Jack and how he adjusts with the crew and meets his parents and grandparents (Sally and Paul) and the last one for the crew to show the progress in the rescue, the development in their relationships and how they deal with having Jack.

Thank you all for reading and even more so for reviewing, stay tuned and patient for the next installment. ;)
