{Posedion Cabin, Camp Half-Blood}

Percy POV

           I was alone in my cabin when I heard thunder in the distance. Chiron let himself in. "The gods are requesting you on Mount Olympus." I gave a smile to Chiron. He has always looked after me here at camp, & I was more than gratetful. I caught a glimpse of Annabeth with Piper as I made my way through camp. It still hurt me to even see her. I know I said I could handle being around her, but could I actually handle it ?

          I ran into Thalia, seeing as she was back from a quest with the Hunters. "Where you going Kelp Head ? Not going to greet your favorite cousin ?" She teased as I saw a hint of electricity in her eyes. "Of course I was going to welcome you back, Thals. However, the gods are expecting me." Thalia jumped into my arms hugging me. She shocked me enough that I might bruise. "Damn you, Thalia. Why did you shock me ?" She laughed rolling her icy blue eyes at me. "Stop being a baby & go see what the gods want. We'll catch up when you get back."

I ignored the slight pain Thalia had caused, making my way to Olympus. 

{Throne Room, Mount Olympus}

           When I reached the throne room it was nearly empty. Only Lady Hera, Lady Athena, Lady Aphrodite, & Lord Apollo were present. It was quite odd. I bowed out of respect. "Rise Perseus. You're here to get blessings." Lady Hera called out warmly. Lady Hestia had flashed in as well, she seemed to be smiling the widest I've ever witnessed her to. 

       Apollo was first to approach me. His smile was literally blinding, even if he wasn't grinning at full force. "I am so proud of you, Percy. You're an amazing hero & I wish to bless you with all my power over medicine, & something else you'll find out later." I nodded. I was nervous for one.  Were they just as worried for me as my friends were ? As worried as I already was for myself ? What was to become of me ?

          I stood utterly still as Apollo blessed me. It stung my body a little, but it wasn't unbearable. Quickly following his blessing was the blessings of Lady Athena & Lady Aphrodite.

            Where I stood I nearly crumbled to my knees from the blazing pain their blessings had given me. Even my eyes started to water a bit from how intense it was. I had completely forgotten about the slight pain Thalia had caused by now. Lastly, Lady Hera stood in front of me. "Perseus, I'd love to adopt you." I was awestruck. The Queen of Olympus wanted to make me her child ?? 

           I gave an awkward smile. I could literally feel the power of my recent blessings running through me. "May I ask why, Lady Hera ?" Hera chuckled, echoing it throughout the throne room. The other gods present joined in. "You are a true warrior Perseus. After you lost your mother & the recent event with Annabeth, I felt that you might want a mother... Need a mother to help ground you & comfort you..." On instinct I hugged Lady Hera as she blessed me. 

          All the power of the blessings watered my eyes, but Hera held onto me without faltering. It had been months & that was the first time anyone had brought up my mom. I am glad that she wanted to be a mother to me. 

      Once the blessings was over I bowed to all the present gods. Everyone flashed out & Poseidon flashed in. Thus, leaving Hera, Poseidon, & me. "Percy, Hera & I will escort you to camp. We'll flash right into your cabin. I suggest you rest today before you go train or anything else of that nature. Alright ?" I nodded a bright smile enveloping my face.  "Alright."

{Poseidon Cabin, Camp Half-Blood}

            We flashed right into my cabin. I stopped my dad. "Would it be alright if Hera had her own cabin ? I'd like to move to the cabin of my adoptive mother, no offence. This cabin has too many... memeories." Poseidon hugged me. "Of course, my boy. Why don't you pack while Hera makes her cabin ?" 

       His sea green orbs holding nothing, but a childlike fondness for me. He could see that this is  what I wanted. They both flashed out & I began packing. I already knew that with my blessings I was already going to have eyes boring into me as I move cabins.

NO ONE POV

{Camp Half-Blood}

           Hera flashed into camp after leaving Percy & starting to conjure her cabin. Hera's cabin truly was a sight. Her cabin represented the best of the goddess. The symbols of the cabin barring a queen's scepter & a pomegranate. White roses, lilys, orchids, tulips, carnations, hibiscuses, magnolias, jasmines, japanese anemones, & amaryllis flowers scattered around the cabin.  The scent of patchouli wafted around the cabin. Sapphire diamonds littering the cabin, giving it a certain glow. The cabin itself was colored royal blue, silver, & purple, & splashes of sea green. A golden eagle statue perched protectively at the top of the cabin.

                 All who stopped to watch were in awe. Mostly since Hera never could bare children as a patron goddess of purity, like Artemis. All the eyes were soon on Percy as he was seen moving a few boxes over to Hera's new cabin.  Lucas slightly shoved Annabeth as she was literally drooling over Percy. Lucas hadn't known Percy for long, but Annabeth chose him these last 4 months. Watching her swoon over Percy wasn't his version of ideal. "You aren't serious right ?" Lucas asked eyes slightly filled with hurt, but also with jealousy. Annabeth turned to him, giving her softest smile. "You have nothing to worry about, Lukey. I am not in the slightest still attracted to Percy."

       Annabeth had lied though. Piper was next to her & could literally tell from Annabeth's body language she was still attracted to Percy, even if she didn't want to be with him. For the most part no one payed much attention to Percy's whole look. He certainly wasn't the same demigod as he was before.

           Percy now had a sharper jawline, as well as he looked more muscular. But more on the lean side. His hair had a mixture of blonde & light pink added into his already jet black hair. His eyes were still sea green with flecks of grey. His skin was tanned, but seemed to have a sunny glow to it. His hair styled in an sexy unruly kind of way. It suited him.  

          Once finally moved in, all his friends decided that it was time to go see him. Even Annabeth. "What happened to you Kelp Head ? You don't look like yourse--" Thalia had started, but Leo cut her off. "Why did you move into a new cabin for Lady Hera ?" Percy let out a raspy deep chuckle. He had grown quite amused by how shocked they were, as well as the power he now possessed. "Hera adopted me as her son. As for everything else a few gods had blessed me."

           For a slight while his eyes lingered on Piper. He wasn't angry that she hadn't kept his promise, but he was grateful that she cared as much as she did. Now with Athena's blessing he could assess things more quickly than he used to due to his ADHD. Piper giving his a smile in return. However, Percy did have quite an attitude towards Annabeth. "Why are you even here ?"

            Annabeth was taken aback by his sudden demand. Percy had never taken such a tone with anyone, not even Nico. "I wanted to see you--" Percy cut her off. "To see me ? Was that it ? You shattered my heart into a million pieces !" Annabeth held back tears, she refused to cry right now in front of everyone over something she felt was Percy's own fault. "You left for months without a word ! What did you expect from me ?!" Frank & Jason moved to hold her back, but Percy  quickly pinned her to a wall. His dark tone directed at her as his eyes filled with rage. 

               "Let go of me, Percy !" Percy laughed leaning in close until he was an inch apart from the  face of the Athena spawn. "What I demand is respect, Annabitch. What I expect from now on is that you stay the Hades away from me. For this is the only time I won't completely lash out at you." Thalia shot a lightning bolt at Percy, getting him away from Annabeth. "Why are you so damn mad at her, Percy ? So what you're heart was broken ! This isn't you..." 

       Percy's eyes held even more of a rage, but this gave Piper an edge. Percy was going to allow her to tell them. The Camp Jupiter campers in the room were in awe of Percy. After all, Camp Jupiter was structured quite differently to Camp Half-Blood. Hazel mumbled to Nico that Percy looked like a true Roman god. "Percy had returned after 4 months to propose to you, Annabeth. He was gone getting Athena's blessing. That is why he is so pissed at you. You literally shattered his heart into cinder."

            Annabeth felt her heart drop. She loved Percy at one time, but she never thought they'd go any further in their relationship. She had never admitted that to him, or anyone. Hazel gently rested a hand on Percy's shoulder. Nico rolled his eyes. "Anything else we should know ? It seems that you & Percy have a habit of hiding things from us." Percy rolled his eyes in return. Percy wans't anything like Annabeth.

          Annabeth took a deep breathe, but nothing could prepare her for saying what she was about to. "It wouldn't have mattered if Percy had asked me. I have never imagined myself in a longtrem statused relationship like that with Percy. I wouldn't have even said yes at all..." Hazel for once was more than angry. Slapping Annabeth gave Hazel an edge as her ghostly dark eyes bore into Annabeth's. "I pray the gods take pity on those who spew nonsense."
