Welcome readers! To my third story! For Freedom. My first attempt on a Jiper story so sorry if it's not what you were looking for. But please try. Anyway…if any of you think this story is a little rushed or there's something off, please tell me. But go easy on me, I probably won't keep the timeline straight all the time.

Guys I just want to inform you I used to be with Twin-books so this story actually belongs to me. Yes, I'm the author of it. :)

Okay enjoy chapter 1!

In a far off time, a kingdom is ruled by a powerful and respectful king, King Zeus, the ruler over the powerful kingdom of Firstblood. Zeus was a fair ruler who put his duties first, then his family, then his people, and then his money. Zeus made sure every villager got their fair share of the profits his kingdom was thriving on. His wife, Queen Hera, loved him more than anything and was always right there by his side. As for his children a daughter and a son, Princess Thalia and Prince Jason the rightful heirs to the throne, they were loved very much.

One day Thalia had gone missing in the forest and was lost to the kingdom forever. After Thalia's disappearance Zeus vowed to protect his son, and so he did. Years went by and the kingdom seemed so peaceful until the day Zeus's trusted head knight betrayed him.

Zeus sat at his throne discussing the farmer's pay with his adviser, when suddenly the throne room doors burst open and his page threw himself in front of Zeus. "Your highness, the castle is under attack!" Zeus and Hera jumped from their thrones like they were set on fire.

"What?!" Zeus boomed. The page shivered under Zeus's mighty voice and shrunk back a little. "By who?!"

"Ares, your grace." The page answered.

"Ares! That traitorous dog!" Zeus yelled as he ripped his sword out of its scabbard. "Where is he?!"

"Outside your highness!" The page informed.

"Gather up my honorable knights and prepare them for battle!" Zeus ordered.

"Yes, your grace!" The page replied quickly running to follow orders.

"Zeus!" cried Hera with tears. Zeus went up to Hera and kissed her.

"Don't worry my darling, I'll be back." Zeus insisted as the broke apart.

"Stay safe." Whispered Hera.

"I will," he said as he ran to the door. He turned and gave Hera an encouraging smile. "Keep Jason safe." Hera nodded her head and Zeus ran into the field of battle. As he left Hera ran up and down the castle in search of her four year old son.

"Jason!" she screamed as she ran down a hall. She pulled up the bottom of her dress to keep from tripping. "Jason!" she ran through halls and up stairs until she finally found her son on the top balcony of the fourth sector of the castle. "Jason?" Hera whispered grabbing the frighten child's hand. "We have to go it's not safe up here."

"What's happened?" asked Jason in a squeak, looking down over the balcony in shock at the battle of blood and rage.

"I promise I'll explain everything Jason, when we're somewhere safe." Hera said. Jason followed her to the door, but that's when a knight burst into the room. "Friend or foe?" Hera immediately asked. The knight pulled out his sword and pointed it at Hera's throat. Well that answers that. Hera thought.

"Surrender now and maybe I won't kill you?" the knight ordered.

"Never!" replied Hera as she squeezed Jason's hand and ran. Hera ran to the balcony, she started to climb down and Jason followed after her. Hera's slipper was too slick and she dropped for a second, Hera grabbed a railing and kicked off her slippers.

"Mother!" Jason cried.

"Don't worry Jason I'm fine." Hera insisted. The knight started to climb after them and as he did so he grabbed Jason's sleeve.

"Got you!" the knight cried. Hera smacked his hand and gently pulled Jason bellow her where he'd be safer.

"Lay a finger on my son again and I'll see to it you suffer for your crimes!" Hera yelled at the knight. The knight paused in shock before he continued downwards. The knight slashed his sword above Hera's face which only encouraged Hera to climb faster. "Hurry Jason!" Jason hurried as fast as he could and he jumped to the bottom. But Hera's dress had gotten caught on one of the bricks she tried to rip it but it wouldn't come off, finally when she got it and the force of the pull made her fall the rest of the way down and she sprained her ankle. Jason rushed over to her.

"Mother! Mother! Are you okay?!" he yelled.

"Fine Jason. Let's go, we must hurry!" Hera ordered as she forced herself up, the pain in her ankle was not enough to stop her and she ran holding Jason's wrist tightly. The knight jumped down and ran after them. Hera dodged all the flying weapons as she entered the field of battle. Suddenly another knight stabbed a sword into her dress to hold her still. Hera ripped it away and continued to run. As they came closer to the entrance of the castle Jason sped in front of his mother.

"We're almost there!" he cried. Hera smiled a little, she might make it out of this after all. That's when something tripped her and the same knight that had been chasing her held a sword up.

"I was really hoping I wouldn't have to do this!" The knight cried. "Unfortunately you left me no choice!" he raised his sword higher and trusted it down, but it did sever Hera's head like it should have, it hit her side. Hera looked up to see a silver knight fighting off the evil one.

"Thank you." Hera said.

"Mother!" Jason screamed running back to her.

"No Jason!" Hera yelled. "Run! Get to the castle gates! And don't ever look back!" Jason let a few tears slip as he watched his mother slowly dying. "Run Jason!" Hera laid back and breathed useless breaths Stay safe my son. She thought as she stared at the silver knight's face, the face of Zeus, and that's when the lights went out. Jason ran to the gates like his mother told him, but a night black horse stood in his way.

"Where do you think you're going?" asked a cruel voice. Jason looked up his teary eyes meeting cold blood red ones.

"You!" Jason yelled. The man on the horse leaned down and grabbed Jason's arm. "Let go!" Jason punched the vile man in the face and started running. The man on the horse was just about to chase after him when he was knocked off his horse.

"Don't you dare touch my son Ares!" Zeus yelled.

"Ah, your highness." Ares said with a smirk. "You have no idea how long I've wanted to do this!" Ares slashed his sword upon Zeus's arm. Zeus cried out at the rather large cut on his arm. Ares continued to slash his sword as Zeus fought back. Suddenly Ares was blinded by dust and Zeus went running to the castle gates. He got through them along with a few of his men and he hoped that his son had made it. That's when he saw something that almost made him cry, a knight of Ares was carrying Jason away, and Jason kicked and squirmed.

"JASON!" Zeus cried. Jason stopped kicking for a sec and turn as much as he could to see his father before he was carried away, a prisoner of war. Zeus's honorable knights closed the gate, grabbed their king, and ran. Jason watched all of this as he was carried away.

"Should we go after him sir?" asked a knight to Ares. Ares growled and then mysteriously smiled when he saw Jason.

"No, he'll come to us." Ares said. "Take the boy to a special cell!"

"Yes sir." The knight replied.

"Call me King." Ares insisted.

"Yes si-my king!" The knight replied before taking Jason away.

Jason was placed in a cell of the dungeon like he was being thrown away and he didn't like it. For years Jason attempted to escape many times, and he was so focused on that it wasn't long before he forgot anything of his family. Jason did escape, many times, but the knights always seemed to get him. But Jason never gave up.

…..o0o…..

Jason wrote something in the dirt of his cell with a piece of wood that had broken of a bench, he wrote down plans for his next escape, Jason was really good at seeing in the dark after all he's been locked in a dark cell for years. Then suddenly he heard the jingling of keys and quickly committed the plans to memory before swiping the dirt away. "In you go!" said the man that guarded to cells, Jason liked to call him the man of keys. Suddenly there was a thump and then the door slammed shut in his cell. Jason quickly hurried over to his new cell mate, checking for any injures.

"Are you okay?" Jason asked. He heard a groan and the new guy got up.

"Yep," he replied in sarcasm. "Grand." Jason examined his cell mate; he was young-pretty much as old as Jason, he had bright sea green eyes that you could see from anywhere, jet black hair, and a strong frame.

"I'm Jason." Jason introduced holding out his dusty hand. The new guy took it and shook.

"Percy." He replied.

"Have you been here before?" Jason asked.

"Once." Percy answered. "And it was only to get someone out." Jason felt a hint of jealousy, it didn't seem fair to him the all he sees of the kingdom is the inside of a cell (and maybe the castle), well Percy got to explore and see new things.

"Well if you need to know anything just ask me." Jason said. "I've been here longer than anyone." Jason looked around. "Well except maybe that guy." Jason pointed to a skeleton in the corner that had always terrified him.

"Yikes." Percy said. "What happened to him?"

"Starvation." Jason answered with a sad frown. The skeleton's arm dropped and Percy jumped.

"That's startling." Percy whispered.

"You don't have to whisper." Jason told Percy. "He's dead! He can't do anything to you."

"Okay." Percy replied. "So how long have you been here?"

"Eleven years." Jason replied.

"Well that's encouraging." Percy replied with more sarcasm.

"I'm working on a new escape plan though." Jason informed.

"Really?" asked Percy. "Can I hear it?"

"Of course." Jason answered. "I could use help." So there's the beginning of a thriving new friendship. So Percy and Jason became good friends, not only cell mates. Now they planned escapes together and Jason thought it was nice having an extra head around. But the challenge to them is: will they ever escape this prison?
