Percy POV

Peace. That has what there has been for so many years after the Second Giant War. The Olympians and the demigods of Camp Half-Blood worked together and destroyed the army of monsters, Giants and forced Gaea back to her slumber. Excusing the odd monster attack which only consisted of one or two hellhounds, dracaena and Cyclopes life has been great at camp. There was one exception though. We had not lost many friends in the Giant War, but each life lost was a close friend and the loss hung over camp. We mourned for days after as we burned our friend's shrouds. The gods of those kids were inconsolable as their children has died fighting alongside them. After the shrouds were burned, the gods brought the entire camp to Olympus to celebrate the dead as they planned to erect monuments of the battles and also statues of the dead.

After the camp was teleported to Olympus there was to be a meeting in the throne room in one hour which gave some of the demigods' time to walk around Olympus with their parents and visit their respective parent's temples. While I wanted to walk around with Annabeth and explore the majesty of Olympus, we both wanted to spend as much time with our parents as possible.

"Percy we can spend all the time we want together from tonight on, we should spend as much time with the gods as possible, you with Poseidon and me with Athena." said Annabeth. It was hard to argue with her as she is so convincing, probably because she is the smartest daughter of the wisdom goddess ever. "Yeah you're right. I haven't seen my dad much lately. I'll catch up with you at the meeting. Bye Wise Girl." "Bye Seaweed Brain" We kissed lightly and I headed towards the Poseidon temple. Although my dad has his kingdom in Atlantis he still has a temple here on Olympus.

As I got to the door I could see it was guarded by two soldiers. The instant the saw me the bowed and knelt on the ground with their weapons. "Lord Perseus, it is an honour to meet you." said one the guards. Immediately I felt awkward as this kind of attention makes me feel uncomfortable. "Guys you don't need to bow to me or call me Lord. I'm just Percy ok?" The guards looked between each other trying to decide if was right to not address me as Lord. "Ok Lor-Percy. Lord Poseidon is within and is expecting your arrival" finished the guard.

I thanked the guards and walked into my dad's temple. Now I have been to Atlantis once or twice and it always took my breath away. The walls were lined with epic sea battles that my father has fought. Illustrations of the army of Poseidon defeating huge sea monsters and the army of Oceanus were pictured all over the walls. Seeing the pictures of Oceanus brought back bad memories as I remember the strain it put on my father.

"Do not worry Percy; I have recovered from that battle a long time ago." My father had walked over to me without me realising. I turned to look at the powerful sea god and studied him. "I know Dad, it's just I remember what you went through to try defeat him" I said. Poseidon's face seemed to soften as he saw my concern. "I know son and thank you for your concern, but your Dad has fought, and beaten, Oceanus for thousands of years now!" he said.

"Come here Percy I have something to show you that I recently had added here. This was painted by some of the servants in my court to depict my favourite son accomplishing his heroic feats." said Poseidon as he smiled warmly at me. I looked over to see a whole wall painted with some of the battles that happened throughout both the Titan and Giant war. While looking at these paintings showed how much has happened and how we succeeded it also brought back painful memories of friends lost. The sea god seemed to notice and put his hand around my shoulder to comfort me.

"Don't' worry son each of the campers or hunters that fell in the wars achieved Elysium or chose for rebirth" Poseidon told me. "Well that's good to know Dad." I said. "How about we go out back for a swim to relax before the meeting?" Poseidon asked. "Sounds fun, let's go" I said. We walked out the back to reveal a full size swimming pool with different size diving boards around the pool.

"Well Percy, how about a little race?" Poseidon asked with a big grin on his face. "Dad, you're the god of the sea, and while I have control over water it is nowhere near the level or power you can exert" I stated. "Son, you are my most powerful child I have ever sired and could easily take on Triton, who is a god by the way, so do not under estimate yourself. You have the strength and will power to someday challenge me" my dad finished. To say I was shocked was an understatement. My dad just said me, Percy Jackson, could someday be as powerful as, in my opinion, the most powerful of the Big Three.

"Ok so our race. The pool is 50m long so how about 10 lengths of the pool? If that's not too much for you" he joked. "You're so on!" I said laughing. We changed clothes and got ready at the edge of the pool. An idea formed in my head that Annabeth would have been proud of. My dad could easily beat me in a straight swimming contest, but he never said anything about using the water to aid each other, and I am pretty sure he has not thought of it.

He counted down to three and we both dived in. Immediately my dad took off like a rocket with me starting to lag behind. He racked up the lengths quickly and was on his 6th length while I was turning from my 5th. It was here I decided to deploy my plan. As my dad started his seventh length, he suddenly came in contact with a solid wall of water. He looked confused and then looked at me although I kept my face blank. I held the wall with all might strength as Poseidon tried to use brute force to break it instead of just controlling the water.

I willed the water behind me to shoot me forward and I turned to start my seventh length. I shot forward past Poseidon as the realisation dawned on his face. He chuckled as swiped the wall of water away with his hand. I was turning onto my ninth length and Poseidon rocketed after me. I know only had one length to go and half way down the pool Poseidon was starting his final length. He came forward like a bullet and was inches from me. I willed currents to give me one last push and got there a fingertip ahead of the sea god.

Poseidon was laughing to himself and he got out of the pool and muttering "My son is more clever than the children of Athena" This made me laugh and we decided to head back into the temple and get ready for the meeting. Once we were ready we strolled to the throne room and could hear Zeus call out the names of the gods arriving in a voice much too loud for the occasion. My father rolled his eyes as he pushed open the doors and we walked in. Each demigod was sitting by their parent. I looked over at my dad's throne and saw there was no seat for me. My dad reading my expression chuckled and waved his hand and a sea green throne appeared designed with tridents and sea creatures on it. It was much higher than other demigods seats which caused me to get some glares off my friends.

I laughed as I headed over to take my seat as my dad assumed his 15 foot godlike form. Zeus boomed "POSEIDON, you are late!". The sea god rolled his eyes once more as he took his seat. "Zeus you do not need to shout and as for why I was late me and my son were having a swimming contest, which he beat me" my dad said. Some of the gods looked at me with impressive expressions as I beat the sea god in his domain, while others weren't interested at all.

Zeus merely huffed and proceeded to welcome everyone in a long drawn out speech. Many gods zoned out of his speech but as soon as the king of the gods turned the speech to the topic of the lost family members, everyone suddenly paid attention. The sky god paid a fitting tribute to all those lost and promised that each life lost would be remembered in a magnificent way. At this he looked towards Athena and Annabeth, both of whom nodded understandingly no doubt already thinking of ideas of how they would do it.

That's my girlfriend. Constantly thinking of how she could improve Olympus and make monuments to last a lifetime. I smiled lovingly towards her which she returned back. Once Zeus moved on he announced that he and all the gods decided to reward those of us campers that had fought in the two previous wars. Many of the demigods were shocked at this but soon started to get huge smiles on their faces.

"Each demigod shall be granted partial immortality an also a blessing from their parents. You will be still able to fall in battle but will not age or get sick unless attacked with powerful poison or venom." the kind of gods stated. With this announced each demigod lined up in front of their parents and received their respective blessings. In was my turn and Poseidon boomed "PERSEUS JACKSON, my son, saviour and hero of Olympus, bane of monsters and immortals alike, defeater of Kronos and defiler of Gaea." Hearing all these titles made me blush slightly, but nonetheless I got up walked and walked out in front of my father and kneeled down. "Are there any here who would deny that my son truly deserves this reward or the titles he has achieved?" the god said, daring any to defy him.

"Son as you have sacrificed so much and help save Olympus TWICE, it is the will of the council to make you a fully-fledged GOD." I was shocked to the core and could not believe my ears. I looked over my shoulder to Annabeth and we had a mental conversation and she was smiling. "Father I am truly honoured although I do have one hesitation".

"What is it son?". my father asked. "Would I have to leave camp?" I asked. I looked up to my father's eyes and he simply smiled. "No son, you can stay at camp, but you will have to attend meetings in my palace as you are now a god of the sea".

I smiled knowing that me and Annabeth could spend eternity together and also at camp where we could train demigods.

"I accept father" I said. My father beamed with happiness and his trident materialised in his hand. He aimed his trident at me and I suddenly had a feeling of fear having his mighty trident pointed at me. Poseidon merely chuckled and sent a beam of energy at me. I suddenly felt the raw power of the sea flowing through me and I started to grow to the size of my father. Still kneeling my father boomed out" Rise PERSEUS JACKSON GOD OF THE TIDES AND SEA". I rose up and realised was outfitted in sea green armour which melds to my body. Not wanting to stand out I reduced to human size and sat down on my small throne. I looked around and got warm smiles from my friends and some gods. Aphrodite was winking at me which mad me blush and caused Annabeth and Thalia, who was here with Artemis, to glare at the goddess of love.

What caught my eye though was Zeus who was looking at me intently as if he was trying to decide if I was a threat or not. It made me uneasy but I pushed the thought aside as he continued his speech. Once over each demigod said their goodbyes to their godly parents and made read to go home to camp. My father walked over after finished a conversation with Zeus and Hades, who was reinstated on the Olympian council after the Giant War.

To try and get used to my new god powers I rose up to meet him in my full god form. "Wow Percy you are already learning quickly" he complimented me.

"Thanks dad, truly for everything you have done for me. Will you teach me how to use my full powers and also my duties now as god of tides and seas?".

"Of course Percy, as soon as you want come to Atlantis and we can begin training you on your powers." "Of course Dad thanks a million" My father smiled and waved goodbye as he disappeared in a mist of sea water. That gave me an idea; I would ask him could I do that when we started training. So with that thought I walked over with the rest of the demigods ready to head back to camp. As soon as we arrived it was late so I kissed Annabeth goodnight and went to cabin three to go to bed. For the first time in a while I had happy dreams of the training I would have with Poseidon.
