Prologue

Seven year old Percy Jackson knew he was different. He may not be the smartest student in the class, but he was smart in his own way and he was very observant in nature. The first sign of his difference he got was an incident involving his stepfather Gabe Ugliyano or as he called him smelly Gabe, due to the vile stench the man emitted. His mother Sally Jackson married the man when he was four and Gabe was abusive towards Percy and his mother just a few months after the wedding. One day when he was six something extraordinary happened. Percy saw Gabe hitting his mother and it brought forth an uncontrollable rage in his young mind. Suddenly the plumbing exploded and a piece of the pipe hit the man on his head. Gabe was knocked out and his mother was saved for the moment. From his mother's expression Percy knew that his mother understood what happened but she never mentioned anything towards him. When he asked she said it was just an ordinary accident and not to think about it. But deep down Percy knew that he was different. May be he was a wizard like Harry Potter in the movie and that was his first accidental magic. Whatever it is he was determined to find out…..

The next clue that he was different was that the extraordinary thinks he saw. The one eyed driver in the school bus who he shot with a civil war cannon , the lady with snake legs he saw in the street while he was traveling in a bus with his mother or the faces in the waves that he saw when he was in Montauk beach. When he pointed the snake lady to his mother she just said that he was imagining things but her paled face told him he wasn't. When he thought about it later he came to a conclusion. Both the monsters he saw was from the Greek stories his mother told him, namely a Cyclops and a dracaenae. So Greek myths has something to do with him.

The final clue that helped him figure out his difference was the one he got was today in his school trip to the aquarium. When he was near the shark tank he heard a voice in his head "The son of the sea god" "My lord it is an honor to meet you." Startled by the voice Percy looked at the sharks and asked "Did you just talked to me in my head?. " He got a reply in the form of a collective "Yes my lord" Startled by that Percy accidently pulled a liver and his entire class had to take a swim. By the time he reached home Percy started hating the word 'lord' from all the time all these fishes called him that .

When he reached home Percy sat down in his room and thought. That was when he made the connection of his earlier conclusion with what he heard today from the sharks. Son of the sea god and Greek myth his mother also told him that his father was lost in the sea. Holy shit! He was a demigod son of Poseidon like that Theseus dude in the stories. That's why the water exploded and he is able to talk to fishes. The faces he seen in the waves must be some mermaid or something looking at the son of their lord. That must be why his mother lying to him about it. She must be afraid of him leaving her for his father. 'No, god or not I won't leave my mother for a father that abandoned us' he thought.

'Now what do I do with my life? I have the blood of a god in me. I am not an average human. I should be better than my peers whether it be in academics or sports. I shouldn't let my ADHD or dyslexia drag me down. I have to work hard to become the best from now on.' He decided. 'Then there is my powers as a demigod. I have to find them and master them so that if any monster attack me like in the legends. And I can't ask my mom since she is not comfortable with the demigod stuff'

Unknown to Percy his demigod aura increased at that moment but it was still weak compared to that of an adult demigod and Gabe's stench covered his aura. So while he still stayed home the monsters attracted to him was minimal.

****Time Gap****

From what his teacher told Percy when she come to know about his ADHD and dyslexia there are ways to conquer them if he worked hard. For ADHD he has to practice meditation. It won't take away the problem but he will be able to control it. For dyslexia only way is to read a lot. The more he read the more he will be able to understand from what he read. 'First I have to deal with ADHD and dyslexia then I will have to get better at everything I do as I go. S I will have to get books on Greek stuff and Meditation and study them.' He thought.

The next day Percy went to the school library and got the one book on meditation and another book called Iliad. The second book contained a lot of information on Greek mythology. He also got a book to learn the language of Greek.' 'What demigod am I, if I don't even know Greek' he thought.

The techniques in the meditation book was really hard but Percy was determined to master them. It took him the rest of the four months of school year to reach a level where he could control his ADHD to an acceptable level. During that time he read as many books as he can. First it was extremely difficult to read and it took him a lot of time to complete his first book. But by each book he read his reading speed and control over dyslexia increased. Now he is not at a normal level but he is hopeful that if he continue his practice he will reach a normal level by next academic year. He also found out that he picked up Greek language in an astonishing rate. 'Must be due to my heritage' he thought.

Percy also researched about his father Poseidon and his legendary half-brothers Theseus and Orion. His father is one of the six children of the titan king named Kronos and he along with his brothers Zeus and Hades over through their father. Poseidon became the lord of the sea where Zeus got sky and Hades got underworld. His father is not only the king of the sea but also the earth shaker and storm bringer. He is married to a lady named Amphitrite and has an immortal son named Triton. This information made Percy a little uneasy. His father is also the one who created horses and has a great rivalry with Athena, the wisdom goddess. His brother Theseus was a very smart man and earned the acceptance of Athena despite his father's feud with her. He also had control over water and killed a beast named Minotaur. He was a soldier and an exceptional swordsman and leader from the looks of it. His brother Orion on the other hand was a hunter and had great skill with a bow. Legends says that he even got the man hating goddess Artemis to like him before getting killed for being a rapist, by the said goddess. Even though Percy admired the skill of Orion he did not want to be like him because Orion's character reminded him of Gabe. He wanted to be more like Theseus, a smart man and a leader.

From his research on demigods Percy found that they have a connection to their immortal parent's domain and will be able to control it to a minor degree. 'So I will have control over water, earthquake and storms' he thought. He also found out that demigods have an aura around them that attracts the monsters. ' I will have to control it if I am to live with my mom or I will endanger her' Percy thought to himself. Demigod are also good at fighting but since he did not have the opportunity he decided to leave it for later.

After a month of meditation Percy was able to feel a connection toward the sea, earth and the sky from him. It was like a lake of power inside his body which was being filled by three rivers from each of his father's domain. He also noticed that the power lake is giving him a physical advantage. The lake is overflowing in him and the power is projected to outside of him. 'This must be the demigod aura I read about' Percy understood. He tried to reduce the leaking power and was partially successful in the effort. First the progress was sluggish beat it became easy once he tried to control the rivers of power into his body. In the last three months he was able to reduce his aura by half. He is now able to decrease the size of the rivers on demand but not completely stop them. So even though he reduced the aura it is still there. Unknown to Percy this decrease in aura combined with the stench of Gabe was able to conceal him completely from the senses of the monsters.

Percy also had the sense to practice his powers he inherited from Poseidon. In his first few days itself he learned that he was able to control water. He practiced controlling a glass of water in his bedroom away from the eye of his mother. With each day his finesse in water control increased. He also started to control more and more amount of water as time passed. Now he was able to control liters of water but he stopped doing more in his room so that his mother does not find out his extracurricular activities. Now he practiced more in his bathroom time. Percy found out that controlling water takes energy from his power lake and it takes time to recover the energy from the rivers. Also not having a full lake helped controlling the aura. He noticed that using his power more is making the power lake larger. 'It must be like a muscle. The more I use the stronger it get.' The daily use of his water powers together with meditation helped Percy sense the sources of water. He also found out that his connection to earth and sky are lesser than the connection to sea. But he did not try to practice them due to the fear of causing an accident by his powers.

At the end of the school year Percy was politely asked to find a new school for the next year. Even though his grades and behavior improved, the school authorities were wary of the trouble maker reputation he earned by the war cannon incident and the shark tank incident. ' Hmm this might be a good chance. In the next school I don't have a bad name with the teachers and I can do the best work in both academic and other areas. I will have a better reputation there.' Percy decided.

****Time gap****

In his biology class Percy has learned that human body contained a lot of water. He decided to use the two months of holidays to use the body fluids to sense other persons around him. Each day he practiced more meditation and tried to sense all the water around him. After three weeks he was able to sense people in his home. He decide to use the rest of the holidays to increase the range of his sensing. He also increased the amount of water he could control. Now he could lift up an entire bathtub full of water and make shapes out it and bent it to his will. From his experiments in the bathtub he also found out that is able to breath underwater. Sometimes he would go to the lake a few kilometers away and learned to swim from there. It was as easy as breathing for him. When no one was looking he dived underwater and explored the lake. Thankfully there was no water monsters in that small lake. Percy also made sure to read as many books from the nearby public library as possible. When his mom heard about his attempt overcome dyslexia she was so proud of him and encouraged him wholeheartedly.

On his birthday His mother took Percy to Montauk beach. This was where his mother met his father, she told him. 'Hmm this looks like a place where Poseidon would hangout' Percy thought. He also felt that being near the beach increased his strength and also found that the sea helped him calm down. After a week of vacation they returned back to their home. The holydays were soon over and Percy was looking forward to the new school year in his new school. 'This was his chance to become the best and he was not going to lose it. This time he will show everyone that he is the best' he thought.
