Percy Jackson and the Incarnate-5: The Mahayudha

CHAPTER 3 POV: Hariharan Sivakumar

This one year really was an eye opener for me. I felt myself mature more. I felt myself understand myself as an Avatar, accept and build on my powers as an Avatar. I felt my anger controlled. I was still disappointed with myself. I found out who was that pervert who sexually assaulted Thalia. But if you are part the Avatar of Lord Vishnu, you see the future events more clearly and could do nothing but ensure that they do not change drastically. And the future events dictate that this information be kept in secret, for now.

Can't you being an Avatar of Lord Vishnu change the fate? Yes and no. Yes, for I have the ability to. No, because it is hell a lot complicated. The Rules of Karma apply for every single creature, from the smallest micro-organism to the largest of the whales and even the Humans. Being an Avatar of Vishnu, my job is to ensure that the Universe runs smoothly, and for that to happen, the Law of Karma is to be upheld. And except for me, Chitragupta (A/N: Yamaraj's assistant), Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma to a lesser extent, no one, knows the calculations of one's Karma. So, sometimes, simple acts had to be complicated, for they help to settle the scores of Karmas of all creatures involved. That was the reason why no human understood the Leela of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva. Heck even Indra and the Devas are confused of our Leelas.

When the whole year ended and I performed the Annual sacrifice to my father and forefathers (A/N: It is called Varshadbhikam), I instantly came back to the camp. After informing Amma Hestia of course. She was.... Maybe sappy. She was still sad for my father's death and now happy that I returned. I am still not over my father's death. It is hard. But, I accepted it. I still have nightmares of his death. ZEUS!!!

When I reached the camp, Hestia and Chiron greeted me. They were the very few people who believed in my innocence.

"Amma. Nice to see you.", I said.

"You come with me.", she said.

"Where?" I asked.

"To my palace. Stay with me. No need to stay here. You will get only hate.", she said.

"I can stay for a few days, Amma, but I have to stay here. Else, I cannot even prove myself innocent and all will believe that I was the culprit. That would prove counter-productive.", I said and sighed.

"You are right. But first few days, stay with me.", she commanded.

"Only if you allow me to help the camp in need.", I said. She nodded and we flashed away to her palace.

After two days, I felt something wrong. So, I was about to look at the camp when Amma intervened.

"Son. Where are you going?", She asked.

"Amma. I feel something off. As if the camp is being attacked. Please allow me to check.", I said.

"Sure. But remember, they don't know you are here, and two they do not like you. So, be careful.", she said.

"What better time to reveal myself than this time?", I smiled. She nodded and I went to the camp. I went behind the bushes. I saw Percy duel with Viprachitti. A big mistake on part of Percy. While Viprachitti knows honor, the others don't. I could see them breaking the promise.

I must say, Percy did great. To defeat and kill Viprachitti is no small feat. Viprachitti may had been evil, but he was a pure warrior and brave by heart. Percy passed out and I was waiting; waiting for an attack to dishonor the pact. I decided to make things interesting and summoned my hood, so that there could be a suspense.

"They killed our lord. We shall have revenge. A Daanava said and charged, shocking the whole demigods. A few took Percy out of the line of fire to the infirmary while the others were readying their defenses. Time for some fun.
