POV: Hecate
I was going to kill them! My eyes blazed and the mortals around me jumped up in surprise.
"Get over it!" I snapped and they hesitantly looked away. I heard them mumbling hasty apologies. Jeez, what was wrong with the human population these days. I preferred when they didn't notice much. Now of course they start to invade on other people's lives. Personally I found it very tiring.
Now back to the topic. Where was Perseus? I couldn't sense him anywhere which means that one of the gods must have took him. Damn, I started to pace. There was no way I was going to survive going to Olympus to take the child. I didn't want the gods turning him into some Olympian worshiper. They had enough of them in that foolish camp they called Camp Half-Blood. Now the only way I was going to be able to get Perseus out is if I bait him to get off of Olympus by his own free will. But how would I do that? My plan was not going the way I wanted at all.
Perseus was supposed to grow up with Sally for two more years before she knew it was time for him to go to Camp Half-Blood. After going to camp Zeus was supposed to claim him and after that what ever happened was going to be according to how I wanted it. I needed more time as Perseus' Auntie Steffie. The boy had not come to trust me as fully as I would have liked by now and without that he wouldn't be ready for the truth of his birth. I knew it was going to be hard to do but I didn't expect everything to just fall out of hand. It was supposed to go my way and I hated that it wasn't.
I needed to fix this and fast but I was running out of ideas.
Two years pass and Perseus is now twelve.
POV: Zeus
I was overjoyed. Perseus, had been spending time with all the Olympians and one by one he started to trust and respect us. It was important for him to respect us because then maybe he would choose to save the gods and not end us. I also was happy because I wanted to get closer to my son. He had grown up for most of his life without me and now that I was here I wanted to be a father that he could trust.
The rest of the Olympians seemed to get along with him fine. Even Artemis went out of her way to be nice to the boy, much to our surprise. But she defended herself saying that she was only doing this for the greater good. I knew better and the rest of the counsel knew as well. Artemis finally loved a boy, as a brother of course.
"Daddy?" I turned. I was used to this, Perseus called me his daddy ever since he came here. I knew it was difficult to be away from his mother but he was a strong boy and he took it without complaint. We told Perseus that after everything with the war he would be able to return to his mother, Sally. I knew he was looking forward to this time but I wasn't sure I would be able to give him up if that time were ever to come.
"Yes, Perseus?" I answered a few seconds late, my face turning red.
"I was wondering if I could go with Sunny and see him rise the sun in sky around Africa?"
"In Africa?" I didn't want him so far away "Who is Sunny?"
"Oh, I am sorry dad, I forgot that you didn't know. Sunny is Apollo."
"Why did you call him Sunny?" I thought about it for a minute. "Nevermind I think I got it."
"Thank goodness, I thought that I would need to send to school." Perseus teased
"Well, if anything I will be sending you to school." I shot back and he smiled and hugged me before walking out.
Boy do they grow up fast or what?
POV: Percy
I was estatic, Dad let me go all the way to Africa to see the sunrise with Apollo. Of course I would be the one helping the sunrise but what ever. It was a once in a lifetime thing for demi-gods and mortals.
