The Lightning Theif

Chapter 25

Odin was a light skinned man somewhere in his late fifties. His hair is relatively long, a couple strands were braided, with its color being mostly gray, but with a few streaks of black. Odin had a full beard so long it reached his chest, mostly gray, but with large patches of white. His right eye was covered with an eyepatch with his other gray-blue eye staring into my soul. In his hand he held a beautiful Norse spear, Gungnir.

"You're my ancestor?" I asked, confused. "How? I don't think my mom had any norse ancestors though."

The god gave a small smile. "I am talking to you, Adrius Markus. Your family was deeply rooted into the norse world. Had you not died, I would have revealed myself to you."

"Wait hold on, that doesn't make sense.." I was confused.

"The answer is simple, Adrius or would you rather be called by your new name?" Odin asked.

"I left that name long behind, I am now Perseus K. Jackson." I responded with my head bowed.

"If you say so." Odin muttered. "Now to answer your question. The reason I am here is because I have tied my soul to your family blood-line. As long as your bloodline lives I will continue to move onto the next male heir."

"That is a lot to take in." I admitted. Odin waved me off.

"Now the reason I have brought you here is because of the second soul inside your body." He spoke as he walked around me. "For someone who is so sure of their control you sure are very inconsistent with their emotions, one moment you act as if you know the future and the next you seem to be confused at what's going on and acting as if you don't know much."

"Hold on, what second soul?."

"As you know, your three fathers had infused both their Greek and Roman form when they had raped your mother, but what would happen if their were two souls in the body?"

"One would become Greek and the other Roman." I responded. Odin nodded as he clasped his hands together.

"That is correct. Now, boy. I am not surprised you didn't notice another soul in your body. When you became the dominant soul you took the aspects of a Greek Demigod, and the leftover roman energy? It went to the remaining soul of that body causing it to take the aspect of a Roman Demigod."

I stared at the all-father. "Where is he?"

Odin turned and I looked to see a boy looking exactly like me walk out the house, he held himself proudly. And although he looked exactly like me the difference was his bright golden eyes and slight noble look.

"Well, I will leave you two, to talk it over." The god spoke as he headed across the bridge to the house.

"So I assume you have been watching me this whole time?" I asked the spirit in front of me. I'm just going to call him Percy.

"No, I was in a coma of sorts for the first few years, it was only two years ago that I woke up and have been watching you." Percy responded back. Now that I looked I noticed that he was wearing Roman armor over modern clothes. Draupnir was in his hands Morningstar and Riptide strapped to his right side.

"Do you want your body back?" I asked. Percy shook his head.

"No Lord Odin was correct that the body now belongs to you." He responded. "Over my time in the back of your mind, Lord Odin has been here with me teaching me how to train and use my powers. I have learnt some abilities that you haven't unlocked yet. "

"What are they?" I asked. Percy thought about it before speaking.

"Kings Aura. A skill from Father Zeus." He responded. "This skill allows you to manipulate your mana or aura into getting others to do what you want. It is a more powerful version of Charmspeak."
