A New Life

Perseus Pov

Oh how quickly life can change, one minute you are at the top the next you are being tossed aside like a piece of trash. I guess I should hate what has happened to me but for some strange reason it only fills me with sadness. Once I was the Saviour of Olympus, leader of camp half blood, but now, I'm just a hollow shell of what used to be. I used to have a wonderful girlfriend named Annabeth Chase or as I liked to call her, my wise girl, thinking of her brings me the greatest amount of sadness. I once loved her with all my heart, but I guess that was not enough for her that she had to go behind my back and start dating Will Solace, but that doesn't matter now.

The whole Annabeth cheating on me was only the start of the collapse of my world, well not really but close to it. It all started two days after I caught Annabeth and Will making out, anyway Drew Tanaka was the person who actually started the whole thing, usually I would expect people to ignore little miss harlot, but when she used her charm speak, it was stronger than it had been before, she must have been practicing or found other ways to make it stronger. It was as if we were in a trance and didn't care. The lowest point in all of this was when I actually started to believe in her words. Can you actually believe that I myself am partly to blame for my predicament?

Let me tell you when I was accused of stealing her favourite dresses. That was a shock for me considering I don't know why I would steal her dresses, but that charmspeak was really thick with nectar, I mumbled whatever she was saying about her dresses and I believed I stole them at one point, forgetting the fact that I'm not a cross dresser, although when I saw the dresses I had to admit they were pretty beautiful and could understand why someone would steal them they were glorious, but anyway lets just say the campers were not very forgiving even if I was innocent of all charges, so I decided to tell Chiron that I would be leaving, for how long I didn't know, but all I knew was that Camp Half-Blood was no longer a sanctuary for me, so I left.

Now here we are with me trying to hail a cab back home with tears streaming down from my eyes and very broken heart, not because of Annabeth, but because of how easily the campers could be swayed, even when they found I was innocent they did not stop, their own cruelty shone through, even when I asked them to stop they did not stop in fact they became worse. So now camp is more like a place of torture than a haven for me.

As I exited the border of camp, but before I could walk away, a blinding light flashed before my eyes causing me to avert them the best I could, when the light died down I stood in the presence of a man and woman, who greatly contrasted each other, the man had hair so black that it looked like a black hole, his skin had nice soft tan to it, but the most startling thing about him were his eyes they were so black that it made his hair look white and they seemed to pulse with power so great it could reap time and space with a mere thought. His eyes radiated an infinite amount of power that much even I could tell and not to mention he was absolutely beautiful, but that word does not do justice to describe his face. The woman besides him was just as beautiful with platinum blond hair and skin that gleamed like honey, her face was regal, proud and soft, with eyes whiter than the whitest of white that also radiated absolute power.

To say I was scared out my mind would be an understatement I was putting it lightly, I would have rather been in the presence of Tartarus than these two beings, but their presence also peeked my intrigue.

The man strode towards me with an amused look on his face like he had just seen the workings of my mind before he opened his mouth to speak, "Hello, Percy. My name is Chaos and this Order" he motioned for the woman to step forth, "we are here to offer you a proposition".

My eyes narrowed suspiciously at the two beings, "Why me?" I questioned.

He just gave me a warm smile and said "We have decided that you have suffered long enough, I have seen what that fates were planning for you, to say the very least they will be punished for this. No one person should have to suffer as you have and still not bare any sort of resentment is truly amazing, it's a feat only a few could ever accomplish. The fates have many plans for you, but I feel that they are pushing their own luck it if they think we will allow what they planned to happen".

Suddenly there was a brilliant flash of light that flooded Half-Blood Hill, when the light receded it revealed three very angry old women who are called Moirai or the sisters of fate. They began to growl at Chaos and Order that was until Order silenced them by raising her elegant hand to shush them.

They began saying how Chaos and Order had no right to interfere with what they had planned me. Chaos simply rolled his eyes and stated if the continued talking to them like that he would punish them severely and there was no hint of the kindness his eyes he had projected earlier. They were cold, unyielding and stern with reproach, the fates quickly realised their mistake began apologising, but not without saying that I have a great and terrible future ahead of me and that Chaos and Order shouldn't interfere with their plans.

Order frowned deeply, "Whatever that is terrible you have planned for him you three will be the one to live through it." Order stated as flicked her wrist causing the fates to disappear to their own fate.

Chaos cleared his throat to garner my attention again, "As I was saying before the rude interruption," he continued, "we are here to offer you immortality, but before you accept, you must know that your life will never be the same again and no we are not talking about the ancient laws, you will be exempt from most of them. The change will be to your appearance." He looked at me carefully, "You see Percy, you were never supposed to be born as you are-as Perseus, but again our spoilt granddaughters had to interfere, you were meant to be female, Percy, if you accept our offer it will undo the spell that they cast on you."

I stood there for a few moments, my mouth gaping like a fish, I couldn't think for a while, but the longer I took the more I was strangely happy about it.

Order then said to me the choice is completely mine.

"What is your answer child?" she asked in a smoothing motherly voice that reminded me of my mom and Aunt Hestia.

I was still lost for words, so I simply nodded and whispered that I accept, with that they both had wide near matching smiles that made me smile as well and then what happened next was amazing they started blowing a golden light towards me, "welcome to the primordial counsel, and than they said rise and state your name and titles" they announced.

I for some reason found myself saying, "I am Persephone Allura Jackson, daughter of the great god, Poseidon the Protogenos of the seas, storms and earthquakes, father of horses. I am the Primordial Goddess of The elements, seas, matter and energy, Lady of the Heavens."

To say that I was emitting a lot of power would be understating things, it felt like I was power itself. I could feel the tug and pull of my domains and them connecting to my essence, it was amazing, then Chaos and Order came over and kissed my forehead and I instantly knew how to use my powers completely and with that they bade me goodbye and wished me a safe trip home, but before they left they said that all documents with Perseus Jackson have been replaced with Persephone but people's memories were not wiped and also my bank accounted had been generously stocked, with how much I won't state. When I was all alone I finally noticed my new appearance, I was 5ft8 very curvy, but with a soft athletic build. My hair was still jet black but was not as messy, but rather full and luscious, sadly I couldn't see my face.

With that I proceeded to flash myself to mom and Paul's apartment, I was about to knock when I noticed my dad flashing in shortly after I had, our eyes locked and his widened in shock before shock was replaced with a fatherly happiness, he walked slowly up to me and embraced me into his arms only for the second time before he smiled and said "I love the new look Percy." He stroked my cheek, "so how is my little girl doing?"

Before I could answer the door opened.
