Messages and Meetings
Percy's Point of view
Over the next couple of weeks I trained with Apollo. Hestia had agreed to let me stay at her palace until I had my own. I had Iris messaged my Mom and Paul just to let them know I was okay, but I hadn't told them yet that I had nearly died but the gods had saved me by making me a god. I wasn't sure how they would take the news.
I think they suspected that something was different since the change from demigod to god had made my voice more pleasant sounding, and my muscles were more pronounced, but not so much that they looked unnatural. I think I will Iris message Annabeth as well since she is probably worried about me and I just want to talk to her.
I took out a drachma and Iris messaged her, in the Message, I saw that she was sitting at the desk in the Athena cabin furiously working on something. I said,
"Annabeth!"
She looked up and saw the message. She said, "Percy!"
I smiled at her silently wishing I could see her in person, not just through an Iris message.
But to my surprise and disappointment, her hand flew to her mouth and she corrected herself calling me Lord Perseus. I sighed internally were all my friends going to do that now insist on calling me that? I really haven't changed much other than the fact I am a god I still act the same as I always have. My personality hasn't changed. But now almost everyone insisted on calling me Lord Perseus, well except for the Olympians who were still higher in status than me and the minor gods who are my equals. The only ones who still called me Percy were my dad, Hermes, and Apollo. Everyone else either called me Perseus or Lord Perseus.
Being a god isn't so bad except for the fact that everyone treats me differently and I don't know if Annabeth and I will be able to stay together now. Speaking of her when she corrected herself I quickly said, "Annabeth there is no need for such formalities with me, we were best friends for five years before we started dating, some things about me may have changed but I am still the same guy I was when you told me that I drooled in my sleep.We have been through two wars and Tartarus together, there is no need for you to treat me any differently than you always have."
She said, "but?"
I replied, "but nothing I am still your seaweed brain, and to me you are still my wise girl. So just call me Percy like you always have."
She had that look on her face that she gets when she's thinking like her brain is going a million miles an hour.
To change the subject I said, "So what are you working on?"
I probably wouldn't understand half of what she said but I just wanted to get the topic of conversation away from whether or not she could still call me Percy.
She answered, "The design for your Palace, and camp cabin."
In response, I said something really smart like, "oh,"
she managed a small laugh. I should have guessed that she would be the one designing it, she is still the architect of Olympus after all, and she had resumed her duties now that the war was over. Also, I had never really thought about it, but I would get a cabin at camp half blood since I had got the Olympians to recognize the minor gods and their children more.
As those thoughts crossed my mind I knew that I don't plan on that cabin having any occupants in the future though, because unless something prevents it I plan on staying with Annabeth. I don't plan on being with anyone else. I'm not sure what I would do if for some reason we can't be together. If that ends up being the case I may find someone else, but I don't think I will ever have demigod children, I know from experience just how hard their lives can be and don't want to have to put someone through that just because I couldn't control myself. My thoughts were interrupted when I heard Annabeth snapping her fingers and saying "Are you still there?" I shook my head and said, "oh uh yeah sorry, zoned out for a minute there."
She just looked amused by it. She said, "I was asking you if there was anything you wanted in your Palace or cabin."
She gave me a general idea of what she had planned I didn't understand everything she said but knowing her work it would look amazing no matter what she did. We talked for a while longer but there were things we both had to do, I had another lesson with Apollo, and she had her usual camp schedule.
Poseidon's point of view
From what I have seen of Percy in the past two weeks, I know that he still wants to be with the daughter of Athena, he seems to have accepted his new position but I'm not sure if he is happy about it. I'm not Aphrodite but I can tell how much he cares for the daughter of Athena I can tell that he isn't completely comfortable with all the attention and respect his new position had given him.
he was respected before, for everything he did during the two wars and surviving Tartarus of all places, but I know that he was never really comfortable with so many others looking up to him and showing him so much respect but he would have to get used to it. One thing that was in his favor was that he was learning surprisingly quickly so he would soon be able to visit Sally and his friends at the camps.
I decided that since we hadn't given him a choice whether to become a god or not since he was dying at the time. I believed that he still deserved a gift for everything he had done for us. I summoned the council to discuss it, I knew that Athena wouldn't like my idea but since when do I care what she thinks. When everyone arrived Zeus asked, "Brother why did you call this meeting?"
I answered, "I called you here because I believe that my son still deserves a reward for all he has done for us."
"Is godhood not reward enough?" Zeus boomed, sounding iritated.
I answered, "Normally yes, but my son has done more for us than any other hero has, and he wasn't given a choice before we made him a god. I believe that there is something we can offer him that he will no doubt accept."
