When Moon Meets Sea: A Pertemis Story : The Prequel

Same Battlefield different People

Percy POV

As we headed towards the acropolis s I felt my nerves getting jumpy and all that. Like i have been there before. Of course we knew the location from the suitors of Odysseus 's wife Penelope. Their ghosts and the failed legionaries with Jason 's mom all deceased who weren't to satisfied with their deaths were promised bigger prizes so they are doing anything in their capabilities.

I could tell Hazel, Frank, Piper and Jason were hiding something and it meant big I mean really big thing. I could not pin point what it was but something like life depended on it. I didn't ask because first they have been a great team and it seemed the prophecy of the seven was connected to them like " To storm or fire the world must fall" the fates did it , but I can't believe one of us would die. It might be Leo or Jason. When despite the fighting Jason was a brother I never had and Leo might dislike me for Calypso but I would not be able to withstand his death.  But fates direct plans can not be altered. And they were taking matters seriously whatever they were doing.

Well when Piper and Annabeth went to the chained god I was terrified to say at least, I could almost sniff out a giant a major one but I could sense of some unnatural spirit ghosts like they were bonded to the place and had connection with battle. I could not just sit down but upon requests and assurances I had to give up by the time i have destroyed many pipes in our Argo II.
Well then we have to investigate the cause of freak storm what has capsized our ship, it must have been a mythological being and as I was descending I had a feeling the being was known to me from previous and these things are happening to me ever since Lapetus has helped me to unearth some of my previous life and of course Chaos helped it. I was so lost in thought I missed another being who is obviously dangerous and my mortal enemy. Well we met Kymploeia, who addressed me brother but it didn't mean she would give us a free passage, i felt sorry for her , she was abandoned by dad and she was married to Briares maybe against her wishes so she resides in old ruins of dad's palace, but worse she made a deal with dad's mortal enemy as well as my enemy Polybotes, who tracked me across Tartarus. First two snakes were easy to kill. And Jason killed the ten snakes with his lightning in the sea ! though he was concerned I might get harmed. I lunged at Polybotes mistake , he was a giant with poisonous liquid creation, which would end up my life or would blow up my cover. I did not want to make suspicions that I can control poison as easy I can control water then Jason would be slight envious and of course I want to keep some tricks in my sleeves if the enemy comes after Gaea as the discussion of Chaos which I was sure before my birth.  The poison was acting up , I was slowly dying in normal sight but while I let the venom course through my veins and kept the physical changes possible for the venom, I can expel it any moment to help Jason. But the annoying thing was I was captured in a net and I could not get off it easily. Well when Jason reasoned with Kym if there is no human she can not terrify anyone and when Polybotes accidentally struck her with his trident she made her decision and helped to kill the giant. Well by then it was hard to breathe even for me as the venom was doing it's job well going to my lungs and then I was freed by Jason and from his ventus I got good oxygen supply and i was free . So we definitely reached near Athens. And I thought I must knew the place and I have been here before. I have fought i know I was getting somehow emotional it was not a good sign. Well I could sense giants and many of their armies from gryphons to rogue wind spirits and earthborns. After the Cherokee song by Piper about which she was confident, the king Kekrops told he would allow small group which would lead them to the giants for sure and he had made a deal for better offers and he was driven out of his city by Athena, and his daughters have gone all mad and all jumped off the cliff. I would have felt sorry if he wasn't selling us to giants. But I got the bigger picture, I might have acted to friends that we would not spray our blood or whatever ritual they would do, but actually I wanted that Gaea must rise. Because she was biding her time from the first giant war she has gotten massive strength if one of my friends die I had to make sure they die for a reason which is worth . As Tartarus and Gaea would be more hard to defeat than separately. So we went with Kekrops. Well it was decided Annabeth and I would go and Piper would go with us for the music and keep the snake people in line. And miraculously Piper 's plan worked. She reminded me of Selina but I have to Piper has more capabilities. Well the king was trying to double cross us by letting the giants know where we were but for Piper we were saved. And for the help Frank the bee's message and Hazel's magic skills we passed for earthborns. Oh did I forget to mention I kissed Annabeth to indicate that the rivalry between Athena and Poseidon ends here in Athens where it started. But Annabeth told us to spilt up to cover more ground but I didn't like it, I didn't oppose though because we must be caught. Piper did a great job though finishing the onagers as much she could. But the damage was done or should I say bad luck for the giants and monsters because i let them catch us when the magic wear off. So we are at mercy of Porohyiron the giant king. I know that Piper was thinking I was overpowered by the giant of course it looked like . But I can not change the prophecy it would alert the fates and if they are corrupt then who knows our main enemy would come before my preparation ends . I tried I mean I just showed .000001 % because Earth mother is about to wake up. If she senses so much energy from me she would plan other ways .
