A/N: Hey guys so as I promised here is the rewrite of the first chapter, it is even early than I said. I completely redid the chapter to make it a prologue.
Disclaimer: I am not Rick Riordan, nor do I own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or The Heroes of Olympus series.
Prologue:
Camp Half-Blood Year 2008 CE
The nightly fire gathering in the amphitheater at Camp Half-Blood seemed to be normal, until a older camper decided to ask Chiron to tell a story.
"Chiron, will you tell us a story tonight?"
Chiron stroked his beard seeming to think.
"Very well, I shall tell you of tale of one of my students long ago, that you have never heard of. It is a very long tragic tale, that most of the people who witnessed it do not wish to re-experience it. He was not a half-blood, rather a god completely free from ancient laws, and he accomplished more than all of the greatest greek heroes did combined. He was the son of Lord Poseidon, and Lady Athena,"
At this the camp burst out into confused whispers, and Annabeth, a daughter of Athena, seemed to point out the obvious-
"But Chiron, My mother hates Poseidon!"
Chiron replied, "That is not true, they just act like that in front of others, but they do love each other, no do not interrupt again, you can ask questions after I finish telling you this."
Flashback, August 17 year 529 BCE-Eileithyia's Palace
A man; with jet black hair, sea-green eyes, with a classic Mediterranean tan, and wearing a sea-foam blue chiton was pacing nervously back and forth on the marble floor in a temple. His steps echoed loudly in the enclosed space. Eileithyia quickly walked up to him.
"My Lord, Poseidon, the child has been born."
"Take me to him please."
"Yes my lord."
Eileithyia lead Poseidon to a room with an ornate bed in it. In the bed lay Athena cradling a small child. Athena was smiling, which instantly made Poseidon smile. Athena handed the baby to Poseidon, who took him into his arms. The baby had jet black hair, just like his father, and silvery sea-green eye color. The baby was perfect, and it already radiated an strong aura. The baby, without even trying, had Poseidon and Athena wrapped around his small finger. Three flashes alerted the god of the seas to more presences in the room. Poseidon turned to see the Morai, which he instantly bowed to.
Then Clotho spoke out, "Rise. The child you are holding will have a big part in the future, but if Zeus finds him, he will not hesitate to send him to Tartarus. We will take him, for you and hide him away to be trained for his destiny. We will keep a close eye on him. We will allow you to name him before you give him up however."
Poseidon and Athena silently discussed names for him until they finally settled on one, Perseus, the one that the son of Zeus was named after, the original Perseus.
The Morai decreed loudly, "All hail Perseus, the son of Poseidon and Athena, the chosen of fate!"
Athena and Poseidon were shocked at what they were hearing, their little child would become the champion of fate and destiny.
Flashback ends
The campers all were shocked and leaning on the edge of their seat. Never before had they heard this story not even in ancient Greek documents that had been preserved by Chiron. They doubted that there was any record of this Perseus. But it had them wondering, 'What happened to him that made his tale such a tragic tale? And if he really accomplished that much than why was there never any record of him' As the campers were wondering this they failed to notice a strong presence near them until it laughed. The laugh was very deep and humorless. The campers all jumped in surprise at it.
"So someone finally tells this story, the story of the hero lost to time?" The tone was dark and menacing, making shivers go down all of the campers' backs.
Annabeth managed to stutter out, "Who are you?" In a very timid voice.
"Why sister, I'm hurt that you don't even know who I am. Athena was always so proud of me." HIs tone was sarcastic and laced with malice.
Annabeth replied a little less nervously; "I know all of my siblings, but I don't know who you are?"
"I will give you a hint, I am the one from the myth Chiron is telling you." He let that sink in
Chiron eyes filled with shock, "Perseus?" he whispered out.
