I, for one always thought it was weird that everybody has Percy as a one woman guy, may it be Annabeth, Athena, Artemis, whatever. What if Percy did become a god, but lived a life like a normal god. Being multiple places at once, falling in love with plenty of females, and all the while doing his godly job.

Another thing, why in the world is he the god of tidal waves? Uh, great so his glory shows its power in destruction? Freakin' awesome. I understand the god of tides and then the connection with Artemis. That's cool. I think my favorite is the god of hero's however. It makes sense, being a past hero he would relate to them. Just keep this in mind as we read.

AND HERE WE GO!

Chapter 1

I had just told Zeus and the other Olympians my idea after I had told them something they probably have never heard before. No. Crazy right? But hey, I had plenty of reasons to say no.

Number 1) I didn't want my peak, my prime, to be fifteen…I mean sixteen. Hey look the prophecy actually did work out…huh. I had completely forgotten.

Anyways, I had so many things to see and do still that as a god, well it wouldn't have been as big of a deal. Like working crazy long study nights to get through finals in highschool. Graduating? Annabeth would be proud I thought of that.

Another thing, college. I would never get to go through college and get so totally drunk the night before a test that I slept through it! Or better yet, stay up for hours drinking coffee in order to get one last cram session in with my friends.

Then after college a career? I hope so. Working forty to sixty hours a week to pay the bills and yet still find time to pull Annabeth away from whatever thing had captured her attention at the moment so that she would live a little. Signing over my first home and car, purchased by my own money of course. Well you get the point.

2) My family, I wanted to grow old with them. Watch my mother age and still find her to be the most beautiful and wonderful person on this planet. To maybe see her as a mom again, with Paul. Know knows, maybe even see her as a grandma?

3) And lastly, my love life.

Sure there was Rachel Elizabeth Dare. Someone who was easy to talk to, she is extremely gifted with her art, downright beautiful, and one of the few people I trusted. Sure, she's been a little weird since she showed up but hey if I started having weird visions, flew a helicopter into what I knew was a war zone, only to have my pilot fall asleep and lastly have someone that hated me save my life…Yeah I'd be a little confused and agitated at the moment as well.

Then there was Annabeth. She'll always be my best friend along with Grover no doubt. And the look in her eyes when I turned down becoming a god? Well maybe I'm not crazy after all. I mean she did say if I came back alive I might get a kiss. She was my other, better half. She is my connection, my lifeline that held me to this world. She can be frustrating at times and my nickname? Ugh, let's not talk about that. But when she gives me that smirk that tells me she caught me doing something dumb, or the smile when I do succeed she is gorgeous none the less. I honestly don't know where to go from there but as a god? Impossible.

Now as my gaze shifts to the gods' faces who are whispering in hushed voices I notice that most seem to like my plan after Lady Athena reminded them of unwise it was. When my eyes fell on her it was a troubled furry. Like she was upset that she'd been wrong and caught and fuming that I was the one who pointed it out.

I saw movement in the group and watched Artemis get down from her throne. The only thing I could think of 'do gods need water breaks'?

Next my gaze fell upon Aphrodite who was staring back at me. I blushed and wanted to look away but I didn't. She however, did not blush, flush, or quickly look away. Nope, she winked and which made me think of all the beautiful things in the world. Looking at her reminded me of the first time I rode Blackjack. Or when we woke up early in the morning to watch the sunrise, when I watched a bird in flight, Annabeth, listened to a song back when we saved Bessie, Rachel. So many feelings wanted to come out from looking at Aphrodite. All she did was smile and turn back to the gods.

A cough from beside me stopped my 'face watching.' It was Artemis. Oh gods, she saw me ogling Aphrodite. Way to go Percy. Get caught staring at a pretty woman by the one person who would get upset by that. "Perseus, if you wouldn't mind staring at the gods it's highly annoying and extremely disrespectful." With that she walked away. I touched my chest then looked at my fingers. I'm not dead or even an animal was all I could think. Coming from Artemis? That was pretty unreal. I saw it as her way of saying thank you. I was getting kind of excited about this decision.

I watched Artemis walk back to the group and as I did I saw the blonde haired grey eyed girl that I was so confused about. I just grinned when I saw her face. One word can only be used to describe her at that moment. Joyful. She was literally true beauty. Covered in dirt, blood, sweat, monster dust and who knows what else and she was still pretty.

Artemis sat down and I looked across from her where Hades now had a throne. His son, Nico sat at the base of the throne smiling brightly for what had to been the first time since Bianca died. Hades saw me and seemed to smile, at least as much as the Lord of the Dead can smile I guess. He finally had respect from his family. I heard some kind of confirmation and then.

"Perseus Jackson!"

Seriously why do the gods hate me so much? I mean what is wrong with just Percy? Never mind.

Zeus was the one who yelled my name so I walked to the middle of the room and bowed Zeus, my uncle. Something bothered me though, he was grinning like Thalia did right before she'd electro charge me. Well this probably isn't good.

"Percy," well at least my dad called me by my name. "Zeus and the council have decided that we will agree on one condition. His tan face went from annoyed to sad. Almost as if it was bad news.

I tried to help, so I smiled and said, "What are your conditions to the deal?" It came out more confident than I felt but I wasn't complaining. A quick glance around and I spotted Hestia at her hearth smiling at me. I had forgotten to mention that. Since the balance on the council was now five goddesses and eight gods Hestia got her spot back to even the gap between gods and goddesses. Now it stands that Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Ares, Apollo, Hermes Hephaestus, and Dionysus are the gods. The goddesses are Hera, Athena, Artemis, Aphrodite, Demeter, and Hestia.

"Percy, they" a grunt from Zeus and my father added, "Perseus, we want to accept your terms of claiming all our children by the age of thirteen and giving the minor gods more respect. We agree to them only if you reconsider becoming a god. Not as my Lieutenant but as the Champion of the Gods and the God of Heroes.

Once again I was dumbfounded. "Father," I said controlling my voice as much as possible only to be interrupted by Lady Athena.

"Perseus, we need a god to help keep our promise. Perseus you are here today as testament that swearing on the Styx is not enough." She added a glare toward Poseidon who matched hers with his own.

"We need a god to make us stay in line. Even heroes with the curse of Achilles will one day die. May it be from sickness, battle, old age? But a god will last lifetimes. Who better to hold us to our oaths than the one who thought of them? Your existence alone will be testimony alone of our promise. We don't ask that you give up life, only that you embrace our oath as your burden." And she sat down.

I was upset. Not at Athena although I wanted to be. Her wisdom was evident I was born from a forgotten promise. The gods needed a reminder.

"Percy," I spun to see the god of travelers speak, the one who allowed me to stay in his cabin before I was claimed. "You've already heard wisdom but I think I know what you're struggling with but it doesn't need to be a fight. You will be the god of Heroes. Meaning that every demi-god wanting to make something of his or herself, which is all of them, will seek you as an example. Your knowledge and fighting skills you teach will bring them victory in battle. They will honor you as their friend, their guide, their mentor. But most importantly as their father in a way. Do not throw this away Percy."

Finally, Zeus spoke with a bored look, "What is your decision Perseus?" I couldn't see Annabeth's face this time she hid it too well. But I knew what it was, fear.

"May I have ten minutes to think sir?" He looked annoyed but agreed. So I walked from the chamber of the Thrones and walked to Bessie. He mooed and I used the water to wash my face. "How are you doing buddy?" He mooed again which surprisingly sounded sympathetic.

"You know Perseus; I wanted to kill you that day. To eliminate any chance of the prophecy happening."

I turned again and saw Athena before me. "Lady Athena." I knew she was talking about those years ago when Thalia, Zoe, Bianca, Grover and I saved Bessie along with Artemis and Annabeth but I didn't want to talk about it.

She had a grin like she was expecting me to fight back. But it turned to a frown with a serious tone, "Do not neglect this gift Perseus."

Without thinking I said, "What about Annabeth?" I immediately regretted it when I saw Athena's face.

"What about her?" the goddess said growing in height.

"She'll be upset."

"Percy," she said as if exhausted which until now I forgotten the gods were fighting as well. "She will adapt and move on. She is like her mother, strong, intelligent and wise. She isn't weak and will be fine without you around to hold her hand.

It was then that one of best ideas I'd ever had hit me. "Lady Athena, may I ask you a few questions?"

Alright so there you go! Let me know what you think in a review. I've got a good idea of how the story will go but if you have some ideas of who you'd like to see Percy with at one point let me know!
