The new prophecy
Percy POV
I woke in the morning, on the comfortable bed in the Hogwarts dormitory. But I didn't wake to a comfortable method though.
I woke up to a bucket of Electro charged water, it didn't hurt, but it did sting. It was Thalia's favourite way of waking me up.
Sure I was a Primordial and all, but she is my cousin/sister/aunt/stepsister. Godly family trees are complicated this way...
It was my last day here, the monsters are approaching and I estimate that would be here by dinner. Since it was my last day, I decided to change my look. I wore black jeans, a black dress shirt and a white tie.
I messed my hair up even more and changed my appearance, I made my hair black with white stripe . I wore black converse sneakers and a black and gold watch. Around my neck was a special necklace.
The necklace was a thin gold string, from it hung a key. The key instead of being smooth metal, it had special silver engravings of animals and wolves. Underneath my shirt, I wore my necklace with all my weapon pendants.
My scythes in their other form, 2 thick flat black bands around my wrist.
I met the others in the Great hall. All of them were in more "badass" clothes.
Thalia was in her usual punk style. Black shirt with a print of a skeleton being electrocuted by lightning , black jeans with rips across the knee area , black leather jacket with rips and silver spikes and chains hanging from the belt loops.
Nico wore his signature black skull shirt , leather aviators jacket and black jeans along with a simple chain hanging from his neck with a golden sun pendant.
Zoë was in deep blue ripped jeans, a casual white T shirt with a golden dragon print. We sat together until the doors were blasted open.
Behind them, 50 hunters stood there, clad in silver hunting parkas and bows on their backs. A pack of about 30 grey hunting wolves milled about their feet, when they saw me, the wolves bowed.
Their snouts touching the floor in respect and submission. Behind them, was my pack of 50 or so Shadow wolves. The shadow Alpha ran to my side and bowed his head? Snout?
He raked his sharp Stygian iron claw along the great halls floor, easily cleaving though it leaving a 4 inch long black scar.
The whole hall was silent. I highly doubt it's every day that a crowd of girls armed with bows and arrows and wolves come barging into their dinners.
And it's definitely not everyday wolves would bow to students. I guess they had a good reason to be so silent.
Just as I was embraced by my sisters and my mother, the doors burst open, revealing a miniature army of monsters.
Around 30 Cyclops were there and a group of 6 hellhounds, 2 lastrygonian giants lumbered in the background, leading them was larger Cyclops.
All of them armed with clubs , they had no shields or protective layering.
"Hold the students back !" I yelled, before the 4 of us brandished our weapons and charged.
Harry POV
I watched the 4 E.S, they weren't cordoned off by these strange girls. All of them had silvery parka's, they had bows and arrows on their backs and daggers by their waist.
The intruders were like nothing I had seen before, the dogs were huge, easily the size of tanks, their teeth as large as my fist. Their eyes glowed a strange fiery red.
Each step they took shook the room, yet the E.S students and the weird girls seemed like this was a everyday occurrence. The E.S grabbed the hilts of their weapons, Percy dual wielded swords, one pitch dark and one blinding white. Zoë had a silver set of Bow and arrows.
Thalia had a spear that seemed to crackle with electricity. Nico had a black sword, and all the shadows seemed to be dragged towards it.
Percy leapt into action, confronting the largest giant thing there. It was huge, with a thin black singlet, long black cargo pants and tattoos up and down his muscular arms.
His teeth were yellow and he had a cape of furs, stitched together from various animals. He had a club that had called dried blood on it.
Percy pounced onto his head, hitting it with the back of the hilt of his sword. Zoë clambered onto a table, shooting arrows at inhuman speed. He backhanded Percy and he flew into the doors of the great hall, smashing through the 5 inch think mahogany walls.
I bowed my head, no one could survive that. Much to my surprise, Percy burst through the doors, his hair in a mess , he stretched out his hands and his swords flew into his waiting palms.
He leapt once more, landing on top of the giant , his plunged his sword into the giants neck and the giant kinda disappeared.
I quickly grabbed my wands, "Expelliarmus!" I yelled. The blueish beam hit the giant things on the dogs straight on. Instead of dropping the weapons, the beam just kinda fizzled out.
My jaw dropped. Nothing had ever been able to block a full on disarming spell. Nico , he kinda disappeared into shadow, before reappearing and hitting the thing on the back of the head with his sword.Thalia, shot it's giant one eye.
Yes eye, not eyes, this day can't get weirder, but wait....it does. The thing, was hit, straight on, the grisly image of a one-eyed dude with a arrow sticking straight out of his eye, would be stuck in my head for a while.
What gave me a hearty attack was when the thing fell, it dissolved, dissolved into gold dust. Another dog thingy, fell as Thalia thrust forward with her spear.
Thalia , Nico, Zoë and Percy brandished their weapons with ease and pride. They "danced" around, swiftly weaving in and out of harm's way. In front of me, a 12 year old Auburn haired girl, smiled, her silver eyes shone with satisfaction.
Thalia had turned only for second and got backhanded ? backpawed ? by those dogs. Percy looked outright murderous. His eyes glowed a bright sea green.
Water in the cups on all the tables, rose and made a wall in front of him. A flick of his wrist transformed the water into icicles, with the front bit as sharp as a spear.
They flew forward, instantly killing 2 of the 6 dogs and one of the weird eye guys.
Percy started to glow silver, the girls started to cheer, he started running, faster than anyone I ever seen. Scratch that, I couldn't even se him, all I saw was s silvery trail before he " appeared" in front of the monster things.
He drove a dagger into the dogs throat and threw a knife, effectively hitting the eye guy that was 180° behind him! Nico and Zoë joined the "fun", all charging into their ranks with utter abandon. Arrows sprouted in their eyes , faster than the eye could register.
Gunshots were heard and another platoon was demolished. The last few things were cornered, already battle ridden , covered in wounds and dripping mud coloured blood.
They stood in rank, shakily trying to stand strong, in a flash, some of them had throwing knives in their eyes, others had been fried by lightning and others had arrows in their hearts. In another split second, the monsters dissolved into gold dust, scattered away by the wind.
Nico and Zoë crowded around Thalia, Percy hurriedly joined them. "Her soul is intact! She's alive !" Nico announced happily.
Percy nodded, and stood over her, his hands and eyes glowed a bright, brilliant gold. The light seemed to pulsate, it got brighter, but not bright enough that I had to avert my eyes. After a while, he took a flask out from his satchel.
He poured the honey-coloured liquid into Thalia's mouth. Her eyelids fluttered, she bolted awake, her eyes wide and a knife ready in her hand. Her chest heaved as if she ran a marathon.
She calmed down before walking to the 12 year old Auburn haired girl. She bowed deeply. " Milady, you came !"
Milady ?
What do you mean she came ?
What the hell were those things ? Why didn't my spell affect them ? Who the hell are you really ?
"Of course we did Lieutenant, Lady Hecate believs it's time to reveal who you truly are." The Auburn haired girl replied.
She walked up to them podium, growing to a 25 year-old. She grew in height, her hair grew longer and tumbled down her shoulders. Zoë, Thalia , Nico and Percy went up as well.
My heart pumped twice as fast in anticipation, I could tell everyone felt the same way. Percy and Thalia stood right next to the lady, Zoë was right beside Percy and Nico stood the furthest away from her.
"Hello, I am Artemis goddess of the moon, hunt, maidenhood, virginity and childbirth." The weird lady said. Artemis....Artemis.... The Greek goddess of the hunt !
Auburn hair, silver eyes , 50 or more girls in silver and hunting uniforms. Yep. Artemis. THE GODDESS of the hunt. The gods ...they are....real?!
" I am Thalia daughter of Zeus, Lieutenant of Artemis." Thalia quipped. She stood there brandishing her spear, blue lightning ran along the length of it.
"Nico Di Angelo. Son of Hades, Ghost king." Ghost king ? What the heck? Son of Hades?
No wonder the ghosts bowed and begged with him ! He held his sword out and 5 skeleton warriors emerged from the ground, before going back in.
" Perseus Achilles Crescent. Son of Artemis and Poseidon. Son of Zeus, Hades, Demeter, Hera, Hestia, Dionysus, Athena, Apollo, Ares, Hermes, Hephaestus and Aphrodite. Primordial god of time, loyalty , air , wolves and animals. God of creation, night. Champion of the 5 rivers of the underworld. Bane of every creature in Greek mythology. Second in line to the throne of Atlantis, second in line fto the throne of the underworld. Heir to Olympus. " Damn. That's a loooooooooong title.
Wait ! He said PRIMORDIAL! As in the Protogenoi! The first beings from which all other descended from ! Shit. We made him mad, stalked him, accused him. I hope he forgets that.....
"What you just saw, was some hellhounds , a few Cyclops and some Lastrygonian giants. We call them Canadians. We have been called back home, we must leave you mortals. It was great pleasure in relaxing in your school. Much better than monsters and all. " Percy said.
All chaos erupted and Percy's form began to change. He grew in height to around 6"8', his hair changed to a pure white , with gold streaks in it. His eye colour changed too.
2 huge wings sprouted from his back. The left one was black and the right one a pure white. He bowed to us extravagantly before they all dissipated to golden sparkles.
( I'm bad at fight scenes. Forgive me.)
Back at Olympus
Zoë POV
I was lying on a couch, my head on Percy's lap. I lay there, casually reading a book. Percy was twirling his fingers in my hair, his eyes closed , his breathing even. He fell asleep !
I lay there a while more, I went to the kitchen to grab some ambrosia squares , our equivalent to potato chips, kinda. I munched on them for a while. I lay upon his lap again, eventually falling asleep.
Later, around an hour later, Percy moved a bit, waking me up. He probably noticed the person that lay in his lap, and started to apologize. Then , he tried to get up , but I held him down firmly.
"You are a comfortable pillow. And pillows don't move." And he didn't move for another hour.
I woke up again, later on, an hour later. Percy was sitting there, in the same position, reading a book, "Steve Jobs" I think.
He summoned tubs of ice cream into my hands, metal spoons too. Together, we devoured the ice cream, I had my favourite, salted caramel while Percy had blueberry or cotton candy, I'm not sure, I only know it's blue.
Olympus.
One week later
Percy POV
Today was the day ! It was the day of the once-a-century meeting of the Greek and Norse Pantheons. We would meet Odin, Thor, Loki and Frigga.
They needed help with something that threatened their existence. See, we have a treaty, we make peace and either pantheon sends help should another need help.
A dressed in my formal traditional Greek attire. I had a pure white Chiton, a golden rope belt, a purple praetors toga and a pure white wolf pelt hood.
Zoë was in a grey Chiton , white rope belt , white toga and a silver laurel wreath.
Together, we exited my palace. My palace was black and brown with large floor to ceiling glass windows. The roof slanted to the right, and white rimmed the glass windows.
In the living room, there was a hole in the ceiling and a glass dome over it, the sunlight and moonlight to come through, with a button, I could open the dome up and let the breeze in.
In the central area, a huge oak tree sprouted, from the ground, holding up the ceiling. The backdoor opened up to a huge place.
Grassy fields and large trees of all kind. Wild game and my sacred animals roamed around. At the right side, the was a huge waterfall and a rock basin for water.
Behind the waterfall was a small secret cave. The cave had torches on the walls , a pale purple carpet adorned the floor. There were a few beanbags, bookshelves, and animal pelts inside.
To the very back, there was a small leak in the cave, water dripped down slowly, it filled a barrel that emptied itself when it was full, supplying me with a unlimited supply of water when I need it.
Anyways, we head toward the throne room, where I took my place at a small throne, it was made for beings 10 feet tall, it lay in-between Zeus and Hera's throne.
I sat there, Zoë in a simpler throne next to me. My throne was a identical , miniature version of the one in the Primordial council.
Once everyone was accounted for, we sat in our thrones, allowing the rush of power to run through our veins.
It's euphoric really, you feel like you can defeat the world, you feel like nothing can defeat you, that results in the arrogance of the gods.
"The Asgardian council arrives soon." Zeus thundered, his voice echoing across the chambers.
All the Olympians were in their thrones, awaiting the Asgardians with bated breath.
A bright rainbow light, came from above, but the beautiful mosaic tiles and tinted glass didn't crack, the rainbow simply phased through the ceiling.
The rainbow , seemed to solidify as it came to the ground, shaking the throne room, printing a huge emblem of sorts in the ground. In front of us, stood 4 figures.
A man with white hair, a hold eye patch and golden armour, Odin.
A buff guy with steel-looking amour and a hammer, Thor.
A woman in a pale blue silky dress, light makeup and elegant features, Frigga.
Lastly, a man in gold armour, and a green cape, a helmet with 2 protrusions like bull horns, Loki.
"Greetings, Odin. It's has been long since we have met. A hundred years, I would think. What do we owe this great honour? What aid would you require of us ?" Zeus thundered.
"Greetings Zeus. It indeed has been too long. I require aid, my grandson, Fenrir wolf, has caused trouble in the realms once more. We require aid to subdue him."
"Tell him that the Primordial of Wolves is demanding that he stop his foolish acts of nonsense. Make him swear loyalty to me, or I will exact the oath. Tell him the name Perseus. He will understand." I spoke up, still a little timid, after all I don't know these people.
"Primordial of Wolves ? Would that work ?" Thor questioned aloud, I could tell Athena was not on his side, his actions throughout the meeting, he looked a little dumb and blur.
Every sentence we said, he looked mildly confused, as if he was not used to the modern age, which I guess is true.
"Yes, it would. After all, I am the Primordial of time, air, loyalty, wolves, animals, shadows and darkness. Prince of Dragons. Bane of every monster in Greek mythology. Son of Artemis and Poseidon. Adopted son of Zeus, Hera, Demeter, Hestia, Hades, Apollo, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Ares, Dionysus, Athena, Hermes." I replied, stoically.
All the Asgardians immediately bowed, even Thor, whose eyes were so wide it was comical. Annoyed, I waved them off, they thanked us and we started the party.
It was Zoë's first time at a party with alcohol and was determined to try drinking some wine. All the wine was Dionysus level, since mortal level alcohol had no effect on gods or immortals.
She carefully took a glass, swirled it around and sniffed it. I did the same, clinking my glass with her before slowly downing my glass, as did Zoë. I stopped after my first glass.
I had a high alcohol tolerance, and I wasn't sure if Zoë did, but I needed to watch out for her.
After a glass, her cheeks were already flushed gold, but she took another glass. Dionysus level wine not only affected gods, by one glass of Dionysus level gin, was equal to around 5 mortal ones.
After her other glass, Zoë swayed on her feet and slurred her speech. Smiling apologetically at the guests and all my parents, I guided her back into my palace, laying her on the couch.
I prepared a tub of Luke warm water and using my powers, moved the water around her body, effectively cleaning it of any and all dirt and germs. She spoke in incoherent speech as I did so, before I gently removed her clothes, and helped her into a nightdress.
Her face was bright gold and her eyes weren't focused. As I guided her into the bedroom, she swayed on her feet, nearly falling over multiple times. As soon as she touched the bed, she fell unconscious almost immediately.
I left her there, taking a nice warm shower myself and changing into warm pants and a shirt. I head to the kitchen, and mixed a pot of my unique "anti hangover" tea.
I crushed some ambrosia squares and mixed it with nectar, I put them to a near boiling point before adding in some mint leaves. I continued to add in chamomile and fennel leaves.
I let it simmer in the pot, letting the delightful scent diffuse across the room. I added it some crushed ginger juice and stirred a little more. Lastly, I sprinkled in a hint of cinnamon, just to sweeten the mixture a bit.
I strained the mixture and poured it into a glass, and set it beside Zoë's bedside table, for her to drink tomorrow.
We slept in the same bed, and no, we did nothing but sleep and occasionally cuddle, nothing more. I crept into bed, vaguely remembering Zoë snuggling closer to me, before I fell into the realm of Morpheus.
Zoë POV
I woke up with a splitting headache. My first thoughts were : how fast can I go, to make it to the toilet in the next 3 seconds ? The answer was , not fast enough. As soon as I stood up, the nausea increased tenfold and my headache worsened.
I barely made it one step before I started spewing my guts, I could barely stand properly ,let along walk.
As I lost my dinner to the floor, my loud gags, woke Percy up and he carried me to the bathroom, allowing my guts to continue their emptying spree into the toilet bowl.
Percy held my hair back, rubbing soothing circles on my back and telling me to calm down. I was panicking, I never got drunk before, nor did I ever drink for that matter.
Slowly, my heaving stomach calmed, I stood up shakily as Percy cleaned my soiled shirt up. He flashed me a change of clothes, before leaving me to freshen up. I changed into a pair of blue jeans and a pink and white shirt. I brushed my teeth well , before brushing my hair .As I made my way into the bedroom, I noticed the floors clean and gleaming again.
Percy walked up to me and hugged me, or so I thought, he was actually clipping on a necklace. It was beautiful, the string was short and silver.
The pendant itself was mesmerising. It was silver, in the shape of a crescent moon, it glowed lightly and it had gens along the border, it was so small, I could only tell the gems were there by the gleam and shine from the sunlight.
I appreciated his gesture, but I desperately needed to go back to bed, preferably with the curtains drawn and the thermostat set to 15°.
He obviously noticed this and handed me a glass of pale , melted-butter coloured liquid, multiple mint leaves were there and it was nice and chilled.
It smelled unique, like the usual nectar, with a hint of cinnamon, mint and others I couldn't really place. I grabbed the glass gently as he held it up to my lips for me. I took a tentative sip.
The taste exploded on my taste buds. A strong ginger taste burst in my mouth, followed by the sweet spice of cinnamon and mint. The nectar was sweet and delicious.
As I sipped, my headache cleared and my foggy brain slowly cleared. My nausea and churning stomach dissipated and j felt much better. On top of the nectar-given strength, the different herbs cleared the rest of my hangover.
Percy held me in his arms. Before we appeared in the throne room. Everyone was present. Artemis smiled happily at me.
It was a meeting to discuss anything important or anything considered a threat to Olympus. Just as Zeus was going to announce the usual " Council dismissed", Apollo glowed a brilliant green, green smoke exited his now open mouth.
" The moon call the guardians, she once chose
As once again the winged one, his power rose
Alert him of impending doom
Sacrifices made on the blood moon
The one of winter, fun and snow
Shows him where the ice once flowed
The one of blue, white and gold-Time
Leaves when the golden winter bells chime"
And with that, Apollo collapsed back into his throne.
Thanks guys for all your patience and faith in me!
