Hey! This is nothing related to do with The One-Seven(unfortunately), but I wanted to share with you all something that I have been playing around a bit before. Some of you may have seen a compilation of one shots that I posted a while back that was all written by ChatGPT. For some reason it brings me joy to mess around with an AI and force it to write things. Recently, I was able to steal my dad's Premium OpenAI account that had access to GPT4 and decided to put it into some use in the PJO Fandom. I gave the AI chatbot the following prompt:
Write a long detailed Percy Jackson fanfiction with different POV changes.
And here is what GPT4 responded with...

Chapter 1: Percy's Discovery

Percy Jackson's POV

It had been a peaceful summer at Camp Half-Blood. It was a year after the defeat of Gaea, and the camp was buzzing with the usual activity. Sword-fighting lessons, chariot races, and campfire sing-alongs filled the air with joy and excitement. I was taking a break from my duties as an instructor, sitting on the beach, and watching the waves crash along the shore.

As I gazed out to the horizon, a glint in the sand caught my eye. Intrigued, I approached and discovered a silver drachma, the currency used for Iris messages. I pocketed the coin, feeling it was a sign from the gods. Little did I know how crucial that coin would become in the days to come.

Chapter 2: A Dire Message

Annabeth's POV

I was finishing up my architectural sketches when Percy entered the Athena cabin, holding a silver drachma. "Look what I found on the beach," he said, displaying the coin in his palm.

We were interrupted by a panicked Clarisse, who burst through the door, breathing heavily. "You guys need to see this. Chiron's calling a camp-wide meeting."

We rushed to the amphitheater where Chiron stood, addressing the campers with a solemn expression. He revealed the news that a powerful artifact, the Scepter of Shadows, had been stolen from the gods, posing a serious threat to both mortals and immortals. The gods were at a loss, and they tasked us with recovering the scepter.

Chapter 3: The Quest Begins

Frank's POV

The camp's leaders gathered to discuss the quest, and it was decided that Percy, Annabeth, and I would form the core of the team. It was an honor and a responsibility I didn't take lightly.

The Oracle spoke, giving us a prophecy:

"With courage, wisdom, and a touch of might,
Three heroes unite in the fading light,
The scepter's shadow lies where the sun sets,
Facing great darkness, old friends and debts."

With the prophecy in mind, we prepared for our journey, unsure of what dangers we might encounter.

Chapter 4: An Unexpected Ally

Hazel's POV

As Percy, Annabeth, and Frank embarked on their quest, Leo, Piper, and I decided to explore the Labyrinth, hoping to find a way to assist them. While navigating the twisting passages, we encountered an old friend, Grover Underwood. The satyr informed us that he'd been investigating the disappearance of the scepter as well.

As we moved deeper into the Labyrinth, the prophecy's words echoed in our minds: "Facing great darkness, old friends and debts." We knew that Grover's appearance wasn't just a coincidence, and we joined forces to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

Chapter 5: The Descent

Percy's POV

Our quest led us to the depths of Tartarus, where the Scepter of Shadows was hidden. The place was dark and filled with despair, and it took every ounce of our strength to move forward. As we ventured deeper into the abyss, we encountered old enemies, such as Hyperion and Krios, but we managed to overcome them using our combined abilities.

With each step, I could feel the power of the scepter drawing closer, and my resolve only grew stronger. But even though we had managed to overcome great challenges, we had yet to face our greatest enemy.

Chapter 6: The Shadow Unleashed

Annabeth's POV

In the depths of Tartarus, we discovered the true threat behind the theft of the scept er: the primordial deity, Erebus, the embodiment of darkness. With the Scepter of Shadows in his possession, he intended to plunge the world into eternal night and chaos.

As we faced Erebus, I knew that the prophecy's words held the key to our victory. Percy, Frank, and I joined forces, with Percy's courage, my wisdom, and Frank's might. With everything at stake, we fought with everything we had.

Chapter 7: Reinforcements

Hazel's POV

Just as our friends were locked in battle with Erebus, Grover, Leo, Piper, and I finally found a way to reach them. Through the Labyrinth, we discovered a hidden passage into Tartarus, and we emerged just in time to see Percy, Annabeth, and Frank struggling against the powerful deity.

Together, we formed a plan: Piper would use her charmspeak to distract Erebus, while Leo and I searched for the scepter's hiding place. Grover played his reed pipes, summoning roots to entangle the deity and buy us time.

Chapter 8: The Scepter's Fall

Frank's POV

As our friends executed the plan, I morphed into a giant eagle, soaring high above the battlefield. With perfect timing, I snatched the Scepter of Shadows from Erebus' grasp, while Percy and Annabeth combined their powers to subdue the primordial deity.

With the scepter in our possession, its power began to wane, and the darkness surrounding us dissipated. Erebus, weakened and defeated, retreated back into the shadows from whence he came.

Chapter 9: A World Saved

Percy's POV

We made our way back to the surface, the Scepter of Shadows in hand. Our journey had been harrowing, but we had succeeded against all odds. With the scepter returned to the gods, the world was safe once more.

We were hailed as heroes upon our return to Camp Half-Blood. The gods, grateful for our efforts, promised to be more vigilant in protecting their artifacts and maintaining peace in the world.

Chapter 10: Bonds Unbroken

Annabeth's POV

As the summer came to a close, we couldn't help but reflect on our incredible journey. We had faced great dangers and made countless sacrifices, but our bonds had only grown stronger.

As we said our goodbyes, we knew that the friendships we had forged would last a lifetime. Though we might be separated by distance and circumstance, we would always be united by the memories we shared and the love that bound us together.

And in the back of my mind, the words of the prophecy lingered, reminding me that even in the darkest of times, the light of our friendship would always shine through.
