Loving Details
Why do I even write anymore?
Away from earth stood a council of thrones that created a circle. Multiple thrones were full of their respected individuals while other thrones stood empty.
Near the entrance of the throne room stood two extra thrones that looked like they had been desecrated. They looked old and frail, ready to collapse at any moment. They had been untouched, one for centuries while the other for millennia.
One of the thrones looked light, filled with various clouds that seemed to lift the throne up. The only issue with that is various clouds were missing and some even after so many years began to fade away. The other throne looked to be made of various rocks and minerals. A few of the trees on the side of them stuck out. It looked rather normal but on closer inspection, various roots began to crack the seat that one was supposed to sit on.
Eventually, a person flashed in the middle of the throne room and the various hushed whispers came to a halt. The woman was dressed in pitch black close with specks of white on it. Her eyes matched the clothing that she wore and she walked towards a throne that was at the head of the council.
Each step she took seemed to be more gradual than the one before and she paused right before her throne. Her eyes were wandering around the room and she looked lost in thought. Something was bothering the woman and it was bothering her immensely.
With a sigh she sat down. "Thank you all for coming on such short notice." Her voice was soft and quiet but her words carried a firmness behind them that made everyone straighten up in their seats. "It is a shame that two of my other children can not be with us. Uranus is fading deeper and deeper into the void, I am afraid that Gaia is following suit."
"It just means that we are not nearly as immortal as we would like to believe." The Primordial of the Seas murmured to himself but everyone in the throne room heard him. "We should be more careful."
A scoff was heard from the other side of the throne. "We should be using our brains and not getting cocky. Despite making that world both of them lost it! What a joke."
"Nyx…" Her husband warned her with a quiet stare.
"She is right." A low and slow voice spoke with a specific tone that sent shivers down everyone else's spine.
On one side of the throne room, a man stood up and stretched his legs. Walking down the stairs to his throne, he held out his arms in a dramatic pause. "Think of it this way. We have learned from our mistakes. The only reason that Uranus died was from his symbol of power destroying him. He grew cocky and arrogant. With Gaia, we learned quite quickly that with enough power we can be destroyed. While Uranus will most likely not be coming back, we don't know the situation with Gaia yet. There is much-unexplored territory here."
"Aether is right." The familiar tone spoke once more. "However, that is not why we are here. Isn't that right, Mother?"
All eyes turned back to the leader of the council. An unfamiliar look was on her face and she stared into the distance. The sound of fingernails could be heard as she tapped on the pitch-black throne.
"Mother?"
Her eyes snapped to the voice. Her children were watching her with wary and concerned eyes. Taking a deep breath to herself, she gave an uneasy smile to them. "After the death of Gaia, we went to Earth and sought justice for those that had done the damage to her, yes?"
The Primordial's all shot glances at one another but various sounds of affirmation were heard. Mother smiled graciously at them and then closed her eyes.
"Nico di Angelo has died."
There was silence for a moment as various facial expressions appeared on the Primordials. Nyx rolled her eyes, not giving a care in the world. Ourea looked troubled but kept quiet.
Tartarus was the first one to speak up, "Why do we care? He did his job."
Mother's eyes flicked over to Tartarus. The man felt a shiver roll down his spine while under the gaze of his mother. Her mind that had been previously focused on something else now gave Tartarus it's full attention. "And yet, The Greek Pantheon still lives on."
Nyx stood up from her chair. Her eyes showed raw emotions of hate and anger. "They should have died out ages ago. Nico forsook the pantheon. It should no longer exist-"
"Yet it does." Hemera, let out a droll, having kept quiet up to this point. "Yet I do not care nor worry. After all, most of the gods and goddesses of that Pantheon are dead. Long gone, the ones that happened to not be desecrated to pieces- well as many pieces, will still take millennia to reform." She shrugged and waved it off. "Who cares."
"As much as it pains me to agree with Hemera, she is right," Eros spoke softly, his eyes held to the ground with a scrunched-up forehead. "We did our job with the planet Earth, why would we visit it once more? Other then our godly duties, we have no reason to go there or to care. Even if a demigod or so lives. They won't be able to rebuild and eventually the blood will dilute itself so much it will not matter." His finger came up to his lip as a sudden thought occurred to him. "Unless?" A sudden look of worry filtered onto his face but quickly dispersed.
"I was thinking the same." Aether murmured unhappily, taking a guess of what Eros had been going towards. "Percy Jackson has come back." He spoke as his eyes went to his Mother.
The rest of the council follow suit as they turned towards her. Her eyes were closed and her head leaned back against her throne. "Yes, he has returned to the land of the living."
"That's impossible." Erebus shot up this time. "We tried opening that fucking vault for ages! Ages! Not even our power could crack open that thing! Even then we buried it under thousands and thousands of pounds of rubble. He was not supposed to reawaken."
Pontus shook his head. "I have felt it as well. The sea calls out to him, whispers his name and has waited for his return."
"He is a demigod, who cares?" Nyx snorted. "We can all just attack Earth once more and wipe them out once and for all. It's that simple."
"Why must we attack him in the first place?" Tartarus murmured through his deep voice. "Everyone he loves and cares for is dead. He is in a futuristic world with little knowledge of it at this point. He is all alone with no one to love him or care for him. Percy Jackson will live knowing that he has failed. It's a torture in itself."
Aether rose an eyebrow at the Lord of the Pit. "You not caring to kill someone? That's a first."
"While I do not care for humans nor monsters. He is someone that can be respected. While I do still respect him, he has done things to our family that I hate."
Nyx shot an angry look at him. Standing up from her throne once more, she marched over to Tartarus and stood right in front of him. "He deserves to be nothing but the dust under my boot."
A smirk appeared on Tartarus's face. "Yet, Gaia said the same thing. Look at where she is now."
"Enough you two." Mother spoke with a firm tone and shot a glance at Nyx. "Get back to your seat child."
Nyx faced her mother and let a low bow before returning to her seat. The mother let out a sigh as she watched her most trouble child be a pain, a migraine was already on the way. "Tartarus is right, the boy was supposedly a nothing. We will leave him be."
"Mother! This cannot happen! I will not let Gaia's name go-" Nyx began but was soon cut off.
A hand made its way to Nyx's hand and she began to calm herself. "He will die like all mortals. Leave it be Nyx."
She knew when she had been beaten. Nyx looked at the rest of the room and felt a wave of anger enter her. No one agreed with what she was saying, not even her own husband. "I will deal with him myself then." Standing up from her throne, she began to walk towards the exit.
"Nyx?"
Her back was turned to her mother and it took all her willpower to tighten hold of her emotions. Her mother would do that same look that she had done to Gaia not 400 years earlier. She would not fail this time though. She would take down Gaia's killer no matter what.
With a blank face she turned to meet her Mother's sadden one. "Do not do this my child."
"I will do what I must Lady Chaos." With that Nyx turned her back to the Primordial and walked out.
A single tear went down the right cheek of the mother.
My Fallen Angel.
Percy Jackson was a man of grit. He had gone through hardships that made others seem weak. He had pushed forward to the top and no matter how many times he had been thrown onto the ground, he pulled himself back up and overcome whatever issue that was thrown his way.
Despite all of this, there were still things that he was unaccustomed to. The first?
Kids.
They weren't actually kids. They were only two years younger than him. First years at high school. They started high school a year later than in his timeline. While teaching the younger kids swordsmanship had always been Percy's job at Camp Half-Blood, he hadn't been to deeply invested into it. He taught them how to survive during a dangerous time period but he had very little actual time teaching them as he was always out on missions.
Or have amnesia at a different camp, there was that as well.
The rodent had a dilemma after his talk with Percy and decided this was the best course of action for the young demigod. He would be a teacher's assistant for the next few months with a man named Shota Aizawa. According to the rodent, this way he would be experiencing first hand the lifestyle that highschoolers lived day to day while also actively learning how society was. It was a win-win in the rodent's mind..
"So you're my assistant now huh?" The black-haired teacher glossed over him for a moment. The man looked tired as if he hadn't slept in a while. Dark black eyes looked exhausted and his black hair was untamed as if it hadn't been brushed in a while. Despite all of this, it was Percy's first time meeting the man and he seemed bored more than anything.
Percy glanced at the man then back to the rodent. After seeing the rodents smile he sighed and looked back to Aizawa. "Yeah I am, names Percy Jackson."
"Another problem child to deal with," Aizawa muttered with an annoyed look in his eyes and looked to his principal. "I didn't realize it would be so soon."
The demigod winced and was ready to snark back a rather rude comment but the rodent spoke up, "With the recent attacks and the increase in villains. I thought it best to have some back up for you. After all, class 1-A has been in a few troubling situations lately. I'm sure that even you can agree with that Shota? I did mention it quite last week after all." The rodent smiled expectantly at him. There was an underlying tone in the rodents voice that told Shota there was no room for argument.
Sighing to himself, Aizawa looked back over at Percy. "I've heard quite a bit about you. Welcome to being a glorified babysitter."
A grin escaped Percy's lips. "Isn't that all teaching is?" With the few little times that Percy had to teach, it was more making sure they didn't accidentally kill themselves than teach.
Nezu looked between the two of them and smiled. "Well, I'm glad that the two of you are getting along. Now, the ceremony is going to be starting soon, why don't you go get acquainted Shota and take Mr. Jackson with you."
Eraser Head sighed at the mention of his students. Standing up, he gestured Percy to follow and left the room. Percy followed soon after giving the rodent one last wave.
There was a quiet silence between the two of them as they walked down the hallways of U.A. Aizawa looked more than disinterested as his eyes looked down the hall. Percy walked step by step with him and soon they arrived at a plain sliding door with a small '1-A' sign above the door.
To Percy's surprise, the room was empty. It was a typical high school classroom. There were about twenty desks or so sitting in front of one small podium. Behind the podium was a small whiteboard and other than that there wasn't much else within the classroom.
"Are we supposed to meet your students in here?" Percy asked him hesitantly. His eyes shifted over to the man who looked unsurprised that they weren't saying anything, the man gestured Percy within the room and closed the door. With a raised eyebrow, Percy watched as the man pointed to a seat. Shrugging to himself, Percy made his way over to the seat and sat down.
With an unhappy glance, the man sighed. "I have heard of your background. Quite simply put I understand why our Principal is putting me in charge of you. I'm sure you already know that you're still being watched at all times." After receiving a nod he continued. "Your job while being here is to protect the students first and foremost. While being my assistant you will not be questioning my way of teaching. Do you have any questions before I pester you some more?" The man looked more like he was asking the question out of necessity rather than actually wanting to know.
"Do you ever sleep?"
"No." The man's bluntness made a snort come out of Percy and even a wry grin graced the man's lips. "That said, I'm sure you understand the position you're in. All for One said you were the real deal. While we have no evidence you are on a tight leash with what you can do, let's call it a trial period. Now for students…" He went on to explain the daily student's lives and what Percy would be doing in the meantime. Percy quietly nodded his head and didn't interrupt him after that.
After an hour or so Percy got up from his seat and was told to stand 'menacingly' in order to scare the children. Rolling his eyes, he meandered his way over there and stood against the window, looking at the children that began to shuffle into the school. From the distance, he spotted the familiar faces of his friends. Mirio with a tough look on his face, Nejire bouncing to every step and Tamaki, who was in the back, giving his opinion every so often.
His eyes turned back to Aizawa-sensei as he would now be referred to as. "Will I ever be allowed to use the gyms to let train?"
"I'm sure if you asked the principal he would be inclined to let you train. You can also train with the students on the days that we decide to go out and train. One other thing you should know is that there will be various days where we don't do anything where you will be participating in the third year classes since they are your age. The Big Three have asked for you specifically multiple times. It seems like they have taken quite a liking to you."
Percy sheepishly rubbed the back of his head. He had forgotten his friends had been called that. They seemed almost to carefree for something like that, then again this was a different time. "Well, they're good friends." Percy told the teacher as he stretched out. As he said this the door slid back open and students began to filter in. Various glances at Percy made it so the kids were at least interested with why Percy was within the room.
It didn't take long at all for the students to get properly in their seats with few whispers between them as they sat down. Part of Percy wondered if Aizawa had properly trained them to the point, knowing the little interactions they had and what he had said of them, Percy would think so.
"With the new semester now starting, we'll be going back to the regular class schedule. That being said I would like to introduce you to my new teaching assistant Percy. Starting today, he will answer any questions to the best of his ability." Percy gave a small wave to the rest of the class and smiled at them. "That being said, with everything that has happened lately it's now time to focus on your studies. This semester will be harder than the previous semester. Make sure you can keep up."
"I heard that he was All for One's-" A girl with pink skin and hair began until she froze. Her two horns twitched nervously and her mouth was open agape.
Aizawa was standing with a dark aura surrounding him. Red eyes glared down at the girl and his bandages that surrounded him were now floating. "What was that Ashido?"
"I haven't felt this way in a while!"
Sighing to himself, Percy's eyes watched the man to see what his teacher would do. The man's demeanor quickly went away and it was Aizawa's turn to sigh. The man quickly went on to explain the hero work studies that a student was asking. Various comments filled the room. After Aizawa was soon done with his comments, the door opened and in came another hero that Percy had met earlier, Present Mic.
With one last glance at the room filled with students, Percy left it. Following Aizawa as he left the room. "I hadn't realized there were rules when it came to being a hero."
"There are rules for everything in life. I assume it is not like when you were a hero." The man responded evenly. Percy walked with him as they headed towards the teacher's lounge.
Percy thought for a moment. "Perhaps not that, though I do find it interesting that you need licenses to help those in need. I'm assuming that I will need to work on getting one as well?"
Aizawa's eyes drifted over to his, "While I don't know the full details. I can promise you the heads of the hero industry are looking carefully at you because of what happened. Whether you need one or not is still up for debate. Perhaps talking to the principal will do you some good."
"I think I've seen enough of the principal then is healthy for the average person." He responded. Lifting up his arms he stretched them behind himself. "What do you want me to do today?"
"Paperwork."
My Fallen Angel.
It was a few days later that Percy wanted to end up shooting himself. His worst fears that he had sprouted the past few nights were coming true as he glanced down at the copious amounts of paperwork that were held in front of him.
Aizawa-sensei has been so wonderful to get a desk for him in the corner of 1-A. Deciding it would be better to spend more time with the students while they were being taught. He was near the window with a computer which was nice but on the other hand, he wanted to fall over and shoot himself.
It was only on the third day of being here that he refused to sit in the classroom with Present Mic while he was teaching. His screams were worse than the haiku's that Apollo has sprouted all day and that was saying something. The man practically screamed every word that came out of his mouth. At least Aizawa had been kind enough to give him earphones with a cellphone, that hadn't changed over the past few centuries.
Once again the demigod was at his desk and doing paperwork for the lazy teacher. He could practically feel the amused glance that came his way every so often and Percy was tempted to give him the bird. Even after explaining to the teacher he had dyslexia the man was amused. Rolling his eyes at the latest glance the teacher shot him, Percy put his headphones in and went to work.
Mineta is pretty bad at any sort of school work. Isn't he? Percy's eyes flicked up to the boy who was the size of a dwarf. The boy was drooling and he was looking at Percy? Why is he looking at me?
Two gentle hands poked Percy's sides and he shot out of his seat, grabbing onto them. A smiling Nejire was looking at him with Tamaki and Mirio standing behind her. "Hey, Hey! Percy, did I scare you? Was I scary? Are you ticklish? You seem rather ticklish to me! Why didn't you hang out with me yesterday! Did I scare you off? Hey, Hey!" She kept asking him questions as pulled on his shirt.
Percy gave a tight-lipped smile as he looked at them. "Shouldn't you guys be in class right now?"
Tamaki looked him in the eyes for a second that looked back down."The principal asked us to come."
The cartoon character of the group smiled brightly! "Yes, he asked us to come to explain the hero work studies that these lovely first years are going to be participating in! Isn't that exciting." The man flexed his arms in excitement. "When we heard that you were Aizawa-sensei's teacher assistant we decided to come right on over! When are we going to train again?"
An ominous cloud appeared behind the three of them. "While I'm sure glad that the four of you have a social call. We are in the middle of class."
"Percy!" Nejire kept tugging on his shirt, trying to get his attention. "Do you know if Eraserhead ever sleeps! Do you think that's why he is in such a bad mood? Oh I know! Maybe he didn't have his morning coffee! Do you know if he drinks coffee?" Nejire asked questions to Percy, disregarding that she was talking about the man that was in the same room as them.
Letting out a slight laugh at Eraserhead who went deeper and deeper into anger, Percy gently patted Nejire on the head. "Why don't you do what you guys have to do and we can talk after."
Nejire looked like a rising star as he said that. He gave a smile to both Mirio and Tamaki and both of them cheered on.
While Nejire and Tamaki began with their introductions, Mirio stole the show soon after, explaining to the children the importance of being a hero. Percy tuned him out and went to work, try to go to work was a better way to explain it. Soft blue curls were peering over his shoulder and he could feel warm breath on his neck. It was distracting and Percy had a hard time focusing, just as he normally did when Nejire was around.
"-Why don't you all fight me at once!" Mirio shouted across the room. He had a fist up into the air and he looked ecstatic at the idea of beating up little kids. The students all looked shocked at what he asked while Aizawa looked indifferent.
"Do what you want." Percy could already feel a headache forming, thoughts of how to get the kids to feel better plagued his mind. Part of Percy wanted to curse the man, something that Percy had been wanting to do the past few days more and more often. "Go get your gym clothes on meet at the gym we practiced your ultimate moves at." The class dispersed rather quickly and all that was left were the Big Three, Aizawa-sensei and Percy.
Percy's eyes turned over to Aizawa-sensei. "You're enjoying this aren't you?"
His voice was devoid of emotions but Percy could swear he saw a glimmer of amusement behind his barren eyes. With a wave to Percy, the man began to walk away. "Come on Percy. I suggest you three get your gym clothes on as well."
"Hey, Hey, I want to spend more time with Percy though!" Nejire had a pout on her face as she tugged at Percy's shirt again, something that was beginning to become a regular occurrence.
"Nejire…" Percy awkwardly rubbed the back of his head. He hadn't had someone so interested in him before. Well at least someone that was crazy or wanted his blood. That was a first. "I'm sure we can hang out later today. You don't have to go do your work study correct?"
Her face lit up like a thousand suns. "Yay! I have to go change now bye!" She told him with a smile and quickly fled the room.
Mirio let out a slight laugh, "I haven't seen her this interested in ages! In anything! And it's only been a few weeks since we met! I must be off though! I need to show the students the meaning of Power!" With a thumb up and a wink, he left the room quickly followed by Tamaki who waved farewell.
I feel like my writing has deteriorated a ton.
