Percy's not okay

Assassins of Apollo

3rd person P.O.V.

Everyone looked at the the next memory wondering what it would contain. Apollo and Percy smiled because they realized what it was.

Once in a world filled with mythical beings and extraordinary powers, a young boy named Percy Jackson found himself running away from his abusive stepfather, Gabe Ugliano, better known as Smelly Gabe. At the tender age of nine, Percy's life was nothing but misery under Gabe's cruel reign.

As Percy fled from his tormentor, he stumbled upon a mysterious figure in the woods. To his astonishment, it was the god Apollo, radiating a golden aura that warmed Percy's heart. With a kind smile, Apollo approached the young boy, sensing his pain and desperation.

Apollo: "What troubles you, young one?"

Percy: *Timidly* "I... I can't stay at home anymore. Gabe, my stepfather, he hurts me."

Apollo's eyes filled with compassion as he listened to Percy's heartbreaking story. He knew he had the power to help this boy, to give him the strength and skills he needed to protect himself and others.

Apollo: "Fear not, Percy. I shall grant you gifts that will aid you in your journey. With my blessings, you shall possess the skills of archery, music, healing, child protection, and poetry."

As Apollo bestowed his divine gifts upon Percy, a magnificent white wolf materialized beside them. The wolf's eyes sparkled with intelligence and loyalty, and Apollo explained its purpose.

Apollo: "This loyal companion shall be your guardian, your partner in safeguarding young children who yearn for a safe haven. Together, you shall become the protectors, known as the Assassins of Apollo."

Percy's eyes widened in awe and gratitude. He couldn't believe his luck, finding not only a god but having the means to protect others like him. He thanked the god and promised to use his newfound power to protect those weaker than himself. He vowed to never misuse his newfound abilities and to do justice for all. With a newfound sense of purpose, Percy set off on his journey.

Percy: "Thank you, Apollo. I won't let you down."

Meanwhile, the gods and other demigods, excluding Apollo, Stolls, Annabeth, Thalia, Clarisse, Chiron, Leo, Jason, Piper, Hazel, and Frank, stood in shock as they witnessed the incredible scene unfold before them.*

"What? Percy said he couldn't shoot an arrow." Chiron stated.

Apollo chuckles and tells the centaur "It seems our young hero has learned a thing or two from me. His talents are blossoming, surprising even Zeus."

Zeus, displeased by the unexpected display of power from Poseidon's son, furrowed his brow, unable to hide his dissatisfaction. Zeus was worried that the young hero's power would one day rival his own and that Poseidon's son might become a threat to his rule. He was also concerned that the hero might one day challenge his authority.

"This is an unprecedented turn of events. Poseidon's son excelling in archery? I shall keep a close eye on him." Zeus said.

As the gods and demigods exchanged bewildered glances, Percy and Apollo shared a silent laugh. Zeus was surprised by Percy's unexpected talent, as archery was not something Poseidon typically invested in. Zeus' comment was meant as a warning to Percy, letting him know that he needed to be extra careful with his behavior. They knew their actions had shaken the very foundations of the divine realm. Zeus was concerned that Percy's newfound skill could lead to him becoming a threat, so he issued the warning as a reminder to Percy that his actions had consequences and that he needed to be mindful of them. They knew that the Assassins of Apollo would soon become a force to be reckoned with, protecting and empowering young children in need of salvation. They were aware that their actions had set a precedent for the gods and demigods to follow and that their actions would be remembered for generations to come. They were confident that their new organization would shape the future of the divine realm and would be instrumental in helping those in need.

"As long as Percy is safe and by my side when night falls I am fine with this development," Hades said as he gently cradled his 17 year old son in his arms. Percy smiled at this and continued to hug his mother. Poseidon smiled at his son, knowing that Hades was the most protective parent that Percy will ever have.
