Build up/ chapter 1

What if Percy had become a god, even if he didn't want to? What if Annabeth has loads of hate builded up on him, not realising he didn't choose to become a god? What if there was another prophecy just because he was a god/being too powerful? 

Percy POV

Feel free to skip this part, I just repeated exactly what happened in the book :D 

"PERCY JACKSON!" Poseidon announced. My name echoed around the chamber.

All the talking died down. The room was silent except the cackle of the hearth fire. Everyones eyes were on me- all the gods, the demigods, the cyclopses and the spirts. I walked into the middle of the thrown room. Hestia smiled as my reassuringly. She was in a form of a girl now, and seemed happy and content to be sitting at her fire again. Her smile gave me courage to keep walking. 

First I bowed to Zeus (bleh). Then I knelt at my fathers feet.

"Rise my son," Poseidon said.

I stood uneasily.

"A great hero my be rewarded," Poseidon said. "Is there anyone to deny my son is deserving?"

I waited for someone to pipe up. The gods never agreed on anything, and many of them didn't like me, but not a single one protested.

"The council agrees," Zeus said. "Percy Jackson, you will have one gift from the gods."

I hesitated. "Any gift?"

Zeus nodded grimly. "I know what you will ask. The greatest gift of all. Yes, if you want it, it shall be yours. The gods have not bestowed this gift on a mortal hero in many centuries, but Perseus Jackson- if you wish it, you shall become a god. Immortal. Undying. You shall serve as your father lieutenant for all time."

I stared at him, stunned. "Um...a god?"

Zeus rolled him eyes. "A dim-witted god apparently. But yes. With the consensus of the entire council, I can make you immortal. Then I will have to put up with you forever."

"Hmm," Ares mused. "That means I can smash him to a pulp as often as I want, and hell just keep coming back for more. I like this idea."

"I approve as well," Athena said, though she was looking at Annabeth.

I glanced back. Annabeth was trying not to meet my eyes. Her face was pale. I flashed back to two years ago, when I thought she was going to take the pledge to Artemis and become a hunter.  I'd been at the edge of a panic attack, thinking that I'd loose her. Now she looked pretty much the same way.

I thought about the Three Fates, and the way I'd seen my life flash by. I could avoid all that. No ageing, no death, no body in the grave. I could be a teenager forever, in top condition, powerful and immortal, serving my father. I could have power and eternal life.

Who could refuse that?

Then I looked at Annabeth again. I thought about my friends from camp- Charles Beckendorf, Micheal Yew, Silena Beauregard, so many others who were now dead. I thought about Ethan Nakamura and Luke.

And I knew what to do.

"No," I said.

The council was silent. The gods frowned at each other like they must of misheard.

"No?" Zeus said. "You are...turning down our generous gift?"

There was a dangerous edge to his voice, like a thunderstorm about to erupt.

"I'm honoured and everything," I said. "Don't get me wrong. It's just...I've got a lot left of life to live. I'd hate to peak in my Sophomore year."

The gods were silent. Here we go..;)

 The room suddenly went black and when the light returned it was just me and the gods.

"No," Zeus simply said.

"W-what do you mean no?" I asked shakily.

"Everyone in the old rooms memory has been erased, apart form us, to make it seem like you said yes," Hera looked down on me with a sorry look.

"NO!" I shouted at them, desperately looking at my father who was looking away.

"The fates will come to announce what you are the god of and what status you are," Zeus said grimly.

"Status..?" I asked. 

I was ignored as a blinding flash appeared slowly forming into the 3 fates. They were the same hags as before, except they weren't holding the wool.

"Lord Perseus will be given some things that might be taken from others," The fate in the middle spoke.

"He will be the God of Hero's/demigods, Loyalty, Courage, sass.." The fate on the right started.

"..He will will be the god of Pegasuses, not horses, and beaches. his domain will be Camp half-blood, the Lotus Casino and any beach," The fate on the left finished.

In an instant, an argument broke out within the Olympians. Bickering and squabbling, mainly between Poseidon and Zeus. I felt so overwhelmed all of a sudden. My head started spinning, finally catching up to the idea. I was a god, my father is probably mad at me for taking some of his Domains. I collapsed onto the ground. I took deep breathes to calm myself down.

I remembered what it was like when smelly Gabe yelled at me. I would huddle in a ball on sob. I got up, instead of crying, I yelled at them.

"STOP! SHUT UP YOU INCOMPETENT SELFISH BEINGS!" The room was silent, all eyes on me. I probably messed up big time, though it didn't matter. My life was already doomed to be in pieces the moment I was confirmed to be the one the prophecy was talking about.

"Zeus! Yes you 'King of the gods'. This was your choice,  can you stop bickering with my father and focus. I would assume the future is already now set in stone. There's no point arguing," I said sassed.

Mouths dropped to the floor, with Zeus looking like he might kill me.

"Very well spoken Perseus,"The fate in the middle spoke.  "Now you will become a god- or may I say the 15th Olympian (Hades and Hestia are Olympians)," 

I stared in disbelief. A Olympian, me? Zeus stared at me with disgust. Then I realised the power I will have. My horrified look turned into a smirk building on my face. The Olympians stayed silent as the fates slowly lifted their hands.

Before I knew it I felt a surge of power rush to be all at once, and it all black.

This is only the start so it's quite short, so don't expect this length of very chapter. This is my first story so please tell me if there's anything I could do better x

Hope Y'all r doing well :D
