Chapter 8
"So, your son's domains so far, are Heroes, Storms, and Water." Zeus started. "That means he is classed as a minor god, if he were to gain a domain that is of a primordial or that hasn't been assigned yet he will then become a major god." Poseidon nodded, "So, we start training in a week, he will need help controlling forms. He will need help with his abilities. Until he has finished the training and is able to control his powers and forms than we will assign the jobs he will have with his domains." Zeus nodded, "Kymopoliea, you will continue your jobs, but while he is training you will teach him control over that domain, my son will teach him control over that domain. Don't need his emotions affecting the Demi-gods." Percy gaped, "I have to work with Heracles?" Artemis came up behind him, "Don't worry, we all hate him." Apollo leaned over and whispered in his ear, "I think he even hates himself." Percy tried holding in his laughter, but failed in the end. Zeus looked at them, "Sorry, I didn't know this meeting was comical." Zeus glared at Percy, "Sorry..." Percy said trying to stop laughing, elbowing Apollo. Zeus saw the exchange, "Apollo, back to your throne, please." Apollo coughed, "Yes, teach." Earning snickers from Percy and Hermes.
"Perseus, how good are you at controlling your water based abilities?" Zeus asked. "Decent." Percy shrugged, "Percy, can you control it or does it control you?" Poseidon asked his son, worry on his face. Kymopoliea took a deep breathe. "Both, I guess, at times I have to fight for control." Poseidon nodded, looking at Kym, who nodded. "Percy, are you fighting for control because you don't want to loose control or because your scared of what will happen if you do?" She asked him, he looked down, not meeting anyone's eyes. "I guess I'm scared of harming people, scared of what people will think if I do loose control. You should see people's faces when I do anything with my powers." Kym put her hand on his cheek, meeting his eyes. "Little brother, its okay to be scared of hurting people, but...you can't be scared of your powers. You can't be scared of what people think of your powers. You have to be in control of them, if you are scared of your powers and try making a storm, it won't end well." Percy nodded, "I will work on it." Kym smiled, leaning in to kiss his forehead, "That's good. Now I got to go, I'll see you when we start your training." He nodded hugging her. Poseidon watched them interact a smile in his eyes. He was glad Percy would never be alone in this.
Percy watched as Kym flashed out of the room, he looked at his dad. "Hey dad, are you ever scared of what you can do?" Poseidon walked closer, "At first, yes. I chose the ocean, so I didn't always have these abilities, and as the stories changed so did my powers. After the stories stayed the same my powers were no longer shifting. I still get worried when my anger spikes and that causes reactions in the sea, but I have learned control, so has your siblings. It takes time, and yours will too." Percy nodded, a small smile on his face.
Percy looked at Zeus, "Sorry, continue." Zeus nodded, "Percy, you will train with your dad for your control over water, Ares and Apollo will find out all the weapons you are good with, and as everyone here has training with one, you will be training with Apollo and Artemis to get some skill with a bow and arrow, shall it come necessary." Percy nodded, looking Apollo, "Sorry in advance." Apollo looked at his sister, "He can't be that bad..Right?" Percy looked the two, "I shot Chiron in the tail." Apollo looked at him, "Okay so its aim.." Percy shook his head, "Chiron was behind me." Apollo and Artemis gaped, "Behind you...?" Apollo asked. Percy nodded, "No one has wanted to teach me since.."
Artemis looked at him, "Have you ever made a shot?" Percy nodded, "Once...I had to pray but..." They nodded, then looked at him, "Pray..you never.." Percy looked at Hera, "She was very active on the quest in the Labyrinth..." Poseidon looked at his sister, "Hera! What makes you think that you can get involved in quest, when even the parents of the ones doing the quest can't?" She looked at Poseidon, "All I did was give them a meal, pay their way through a farm, and answer a prayer. The quest before that one, Apollo gave them a ride." Hermes gapes, "His twin was kidnapped by the Titan Army, and Ares did the same on his first quest. Ares even gave them a side quest and had the thing the quest was about all while setting them up." Hera huffed, "Okay! Fine, I shouldn't have interrupted the quest, its not like I did anything wrong." Percy raised his hand, "Uh..you underhandedly threatened me.. If I am quoting this right...you told me 'As I recall, I voted to let you live at the winter solstice. I hope I voted correctly.'" Poseidon looked at Hera, "Seriously! Did nothing wrong?" Hera shrunk in her seat, "Dad!" Percy yelled. "I already forgave her....besides Annabeth got a few words...which may have gotten her a visit from a few cows...but." Apollo came up behind and wrapped a hand around his mouth. Percy grabbed his hand and flipped him over his shoulder. He twisted his arm and put his foot on his throat, "Perce?" Apollo croaked. "Oh shit!" Percy took his foot off his throat and helped him up, his arm and leg burning. "Sorry.." Percy said ignoring the burning.
"Percy...your in pain." Apollo noted, grabbing his arm. Percy held in a wince, his face as solid as one of Medusa's statues. "Percy..what did I say about not showing emotions?" Dionysus asked him. "Not to do it. That I am not a leader here." Dionysus nodded. "So, why are you doing exactly that?" Percy looked down, "I..I don't know. It's just a habit." Poseidon looked at his son, "Percy..I need you to look at me." Percy looked at his father. "If you can't allow it on your face, allow it in your eyes." Zeus looked at his brother with a new light. Percy nodded, slowly letting emotion into his eyes. "Good, now are you in pain?" Percy nodded, his eyes showing the hurt and pain while his face was still stone cold. Apollo looked at him, "Where?" Percy pointed to him and leg, "Percy how long has your arm and leg been burning?" Percy looked away, "It was after you flipped me, right?" Percy nodded still not meeting Apollo's eyes. "Percy, look at me. It is okay to have to build up tolerance again, you are still in transformation. Okay?" Percy nodded, looking at Apollo with teary eyes. "Come here." Apollo held open his arms, Percy's eyes matched his face now. "Percy?" Poseidon asked. Percy looked up, "Yeah?" His voice void of emotion. Dionysus got up and walked over to Percy. "Percy, look at me." Percy looked at Dionysus. "Percy, breathe. It is fine, its okay to rely on others. Its okay to hurt and not be okay all the time." Percy nodded, looking over at Apollo. Apollo's eyes full of empathy and hurt. Percy let his eyes show guilt, "Oh Percy..no.." Apollo said pulling him into a hug. "Percy...you did nothing wrong..." Percy let tears fall leaning his head fall on Apollos shoulder wrapping his arms around Apollo's waste.
Poseidon watched his son hug Apollo, eyes growing cold. "Brother. Let them be." Hestia told her brother. "I am doing nothing but watching them. What is wrong with that?" Hestia took a deep breathe. "Percy, honey can you come here?" Hestia asked, as Percy pulled away from the hug. "Yeah, Auntie Hestia." Hestia smiled at the name. Percy walked towards her. "Percy, do you like Apollo?" He froze, "What..no...I..." Hestia smiled, chuckling a little, "Hey...you do know everyone here is either bi, omni, or pan right?" Percy nodded, "So it is okay, for you not to be straight to." Percy nodded, looking at Hestia.."I might like him a little." Hestia nodded, "You need to talk to your dad, okay?" Percy nodded, looking at his dad from across the room. "I will just...not yet.." Percy looked at Apollo, who waved. "You need to tell them both." Percy nodded, looking back Hestia. "I know, Auntie..." She hugged Percy. Once she let go Percy collapsed, his skin glowing.
"Percy?!" Apollo yelled from across the room rushing across the room. "Stop!" Hestia called, moving away from Percy. "Let it happen." Poseidon watched worried, this is what will decide it. "So if he stops glowing he is dead, if the glowing dims as he wakes up he has completed the transformation." Zeus says, voice void of emotion. Everyone watched, waiting to see for anything at all that will signal anything, even if he is dead.
Percy's eyes started to open, all he saw was a glowing light. "Apollo...really again?" He asked sitting up. "Perce..it's not me glowing. Don't freak out...but.." Percy looked down before Apollo could finish. "What the fuck?!" Apollo walked forwards, "It will stop. Okay?" Percy nodded, "Why...why am I glowing?" He asked fear in his voice. "Because you have finished the transformation. You are currently in your true form..so is everyone here." Percy looked around him, everyone was 6 feet tall, the thrones were their original sizes. "So...no more burning?" Percy asked, the glowing now dimming. Apollo looked at him gaping, "Wow, your beautiful." Percy blushed, "He's right. You are dashing." Aphrodite looked at him. "Thank you, Aphrodite, but I can never be as beautiful as you." Aphrodite looked at him, "Thank you..but really you are dashing..." The glowing left the room, Percy looked down, his skin more tanned. "How is it possible to get more tanned?" He looked at his dad, "Wasn't I tan enough...I looked like I was always in the sun...now it looks like Apollo really wanted the sun on me." Apollo choked while everyone else laughed, "It happens.." Poseidon looked at his son...."Sea gods, water gods, and sun gods all sport a tan, a really sun kissed tan." Percy looked down, 'Well what if I want a real Sun kiss..' Hestia walked towards him, leaning down. "Can you stand?" Percy nodded, his hair grew a little so now it was past his ears, his eyes were now green and gold. His clothes were now armor, a lot like what he would wear to war, his aura screamed powerful and leader.
Every gaped as Percy stood up, he had on armor, that sat on his muscles perfectly. Under his armor sat a Toga. His jet black hair sat perfectly in waves. His eyes were the exact color of the nearest ocean with gold specks through out. His skin was now Chestnut colored, his eyes clashed with his hair and skin so that they appeared to be glowing. His aura made them all stay still, his aura was a lot like Poseidon's but screamed more leader. Percy looked at everyone confused, "Why is everyone so quiet?" His voice sang a little. "Poseidon..I think he might of inherited a little Siren.." Apollo said as he heard Percy's voice. "Yep..." Poseidon looked at his son amazed. "Okay...Guys...what is wrong?" Artemis walked towards him, "You are powerful, handsome, and apparently have broken everyone..." Percy blushed, "Oh..." Zeus was the first out of his stump... "Aphrodite...you are to control your children. God and Demi-god alike." Aphrodite nodded, "Got it." Apollo kept staring at Percy, even after he was no longer in shock. "Apollo." Poseidon glared at the sun god. "Right." Apollo said and looked away, still glancing back at the newest god.
