Lord Perseus: The god of Heroes
A/N: This is my first flip, so be nice. I got the idea for this from SeaweedBrainLuva3 and her story "Lord Perseus and the Forbidden Love." It is a DAMN good story and you must read it, but first it is mandatory that you read mine. I am doing this with her permission. I did "borrow" some of her ideas (don't look at me like that) but a lot of this is all original. Please don't flame. I like CC (constructive critism), but if you do flame, keep it clean. No one likes cussing. This takes place near the end of "The Last Olympian". It's sort of an alternate ending. (Oh yeah, I don't own the characters from Percy Jackson and the Olympians. If I did, I would be a freaking millionaire and would then rub my money in your face.)
Chapter 1:
Percy's POV
Percy was shocked. Zeus had just offered to turn him into a god! He glanced over at Annabeth, who was gesturing for him to come over. He walked towards her slowly, thinking that she would be as frightened he would accept the offer as he was when Artemis offered for her to give up boys and join her as a Hunter. He contemplated how she would ask him to say no as he walked towards her.
"I think you should take it," she squealed excitedly when he reached her. "I could build your palace and you compliment me on my designs when I rebuild Olympus, and we could hang out while I redesign everything," she finished jumping up and down.
Percy tried to keep his emotions in check. "W-what about you and me?" he stammered out.
"Don't be silly. We can't date since I'm working on Olympus, and I won't give up this chance for something like a relationship. If you become a god, I can hang out with you. Besides, you're like a brother to me; kind of like Luke was," she replied with a warm smile gracing her features, unknowingly stabbing him in the heart with every word.
He was beyond shocked now. How could she compare him to Luke? Why did she call him and her dating silly? How could she stand there and smile while she ripped out his heart? "Can you please leave? I need to think about it," he said solemnly, trying to hold in all the tears that were forming in his eyes.
"Sure! I'll head back to camp with the others so I can get my stuff to have while I redesign Olympus!" she happily replied and walked away, waving back at him.
He couldn't hold the tears in any longer and began to cry. He turned away from the arch she had just left through and turned to face the gods. Every single one was shocked to see the tears run down his face.
"Fine! I'll become a god! Are you happy now?" he said to their surprised faces.
Flustered, Zeus shouted at the crying boy. "What's the matter with you? We're making you a god! In fact you'll be the thirteenth Olympian, seeing as everyone thought we need some young blood on this council!" he glared at the gods to the left of him as he said this. "Why are you crying, you ungrateful little-", Zeus began but Percy decided to jump in.
"None of your damn business that's why!" Percy yelled at Zeus and the rest of the council started to fear for Percy's safety.
Zeus' eyes grew black with anger as he shouted, "I could fry you with a thought, you little insect!" Poseidon got up to protect his son but Percy stopped him in his tracks.
"Go ahead!" Percy shouted right back. "You'd be doing me a favor! You always say how you want to kill me!" Percy's voice began to crack as he whispered loud enough for the gods to hear, "I don't even care if I live anymore. Everything I've ever fought for was just taken from me, so do what you want. I just don't care."
Percy just stared at the ground, tears leaking out of his eyes. Zeus was shocked. No mortal or god had talked to him that way, except for Poseidon. He was sure it had to do with the girl that had left earlier. He turned to look at Athena who looked like she was thinking the same thing.
Zeus turned to the boy and said softly, "I am… sorry." The other Olympians looked at him with surprise as he continued. "I shall make you a god," Zeus said as her started to chant. "You will be the god of Heroes, Quests, Swordsmanship, and Tidal Waves. Your titles will be King of Heroes and Tidal Lord. Your sacred animal with be the black Pegasus you call Blackjack and your symbol of power shall be the sword you call Riptide. Your domain will be Camp Half-Blood and you will replace Dionysus as the camp counselor."
Percy barely saw the throne that had risen up in between Artemis and Apollo. He barely felt the new strength as he grew to 15 feet tall and sat on the throne that had a picture of Riptide, Blackjack, and all his adventures on it. All he could do was cry. He was knocked out of his anguish a little when Artemis laid a comforting hand on his arm. He was so surprised that he stopped his crying and looked at her. He tilted his head with a puzzled look on his face. She quickly took her hand away and looked away, quite embarrassed.
A/N: It's a little short but as time goes on they will get much bigger. Please hit the pretty blue words at the bottom of the page! You know you want to! Once again only CC please (If you don't know what that stands for it's at the top of the page. Ha! You have to scroll all the way back up). If you like it, tell me. If not, I could use some suggestions on how to make it better. I know Zeus was a little OC, but if you were used to everything groveling before you and someone didn't you would be shocked to. Once again, I did get SeaweedBrainLuva3's permission to do this.
