The Burning Sanctum

I Receive a Gift

My friends had already received their gifts and I was being judged.

"Percy Jackson!" Poseidon bellowed.

I bowed to Zeus and he waved me towards my father.

Poseidon said, "Rise my son. You have done well. You must be rewarded."

I looked around and was expecting that one of the gods would protest. But, they didn't.

My father then said, "Alrighty then! Does anyone here think that my son is not

deserving?"

Nothing.

Zeus said, "The council agrees. Perseus you are allowed one gift!"

I asked stupidly, "Anything?"

Zeus replied, "Anything as long as it is within our power."

I said, "You swear on the River Styx? I learned from somebody" Then I glanced at

Hades.

Hades smiled at me and nodded.

Zeus sighed, "Perseus Jackson, I swear to your terms and hold you to your word."

Zeus said, "I know what you will wish for. It was only handed down once before. If

you wish to be a god, you will be made a god."

I thought about that. I would live forever in the best shape of my life. I wouldn't

die.

I said, "Alright, I wish to be made a god. But! You will have to make Annabeth a god

too, as well as Grover! I also wish for the gods

to keep a closer eye on their children! You will to claim them by the time they are

thirteen! Also I believe that the minor god

and goddesses should be a little more important. Meaning, they should have cabins

at Camp Half-Blood!"

My father said, "Percy, that is a lot you wish for."

I replied, "But you guys swore on the River Styx!"

Zeus said, "It is in our power, and it can be done. All mortals in this room must

leave now. We will go to work now."

Annabeth looked at me and did something dangerous. She kissed me! In front of

her mom!
