Ancient Greece

Perseus was the first born son of Poseidon and Amphitrite, he was the twin son of Triton. Perseus and Triton were born around the same time that Artemis and Apollo had been born, the three(Apollo, Artemis and Percy) were all raised on Olympus by Hestia as well as their fathers, alongside Hermes and Apollo, they five had become close friends under being raised by Hestia as their caregiver, they were pretty inseparable especially Artemis and Perseus as well as Athena. Whereas Triton had been raised by Amphitrite in Atlantis.

When they came of age to receive their godhood. Hestia flashed them all to the throne room, the three fates were waiting, Zeus spoke "Artemis Orthia, my daughter approach." Artemis approached and bowed at Zeus' throne, the Three Fates spoke, "All Hail Artemis Orthia, Goddess of wild animals, the hunt, and vegetation and of chastity and childbirth." Artemis throne rose from the ground, it was made of silver and she had a wolf skin to sit upon. The back was polished like a mirror and above it was a moon of silver, with twenty-one rays of light. Artemis took her godly height and sat on her new throne.

Zeus then spoke, "Hermes, my son approach." Hermes approached and bowed at Zeus' throne, the three fates spoke "All hail Hermes, God of trade, wealth, luck, fertility, animal husbandry, sleep, language, thieves, and travel." Hermes' throne rose from the ground; the throne was made out of stone. The arms had been cut to resemble ram heads and there was a goatskin for the seat. On the back, there was a carving of a symbol for afire-drill, which Hermes himself invented.

"Phoebus Apollo my son approach" Zeus' voice came, he did the same as the last two and approached and bowed at the foot of the throne, The Three Fates then spoke "All hail Phoebus Apollo, God of archery, music and dance, truth and prophecy, healing and diseases, the Sun and light, poetry." The throne rose from the ground. Apollo's throne was made of gold and was extremely polished. There were magical inscriptions all over the throne. Apollo's symbol and he had a python skin to sit upon. Hung above the throne, a sun-disk with twenty-one rays shaped like arrows because Apollo is said as the god of the Sun and light.

"Pallas Athena, my daughter approach." The Sky god spoke, Athena approached Zeus' throne and bowed, the three fates spoke "All Hail Athena, Goddess of good counsel, Warcraft, the defence of towns, heroic endeavour, weaving, pottery and wisdom." Athena's throne rose out of the ground, the throne was made of silver. Along the back and the sides were golden baskets, because Athena is also the goddess of crafts. There was also a violet crown made out of blue lapis lazuli set atop the throne. The arms ended in the heads of a smiling Gorgon. There was an owl on her throne.

Poseidon spoke "Perseus come forward." Percy went and bowed at Zeus' Throne then at his fathers, the fates spoke "All hail, Perseus God of loyalty, oaths, minor god of seas and ocean warfare. As well as patron to demigods" Once the fates had finished speaking his throne rose out of the ground, it was made out of Sea Marble, it had faces of heroes etched on it, as well as the hearth and waves.

Once, everyone was dismissed, Apollo and Hermes went straight off into the mortal world, Athena disappeared into the Olympian Library and Percy and Artemis went on a hunt together. 

As Athena looked around the library she started to sort the books out in age  order, meanwhile Apollo and Hermes were up to no good in the mortal world, making demigods left, right and centre. Mean while Perseus and Artemis were hunting in the Foloi oak forest, they were hunting a pack of deer.

Artemis had notched an arrow on a one of the deer and let the arrow fly, as the arrow hit the deer, Percy ran over and mercifully sliced it with his sword, as Artemis shot more down, Percy took them down with his sword in a merciful away. After they finished hunting, the two set up camp and set two tents up, then started a camp-fire and roasted one of the deer, as it finished cooking, they ate it in silence. Artemis then went to bathe while Percy cleaned up the dead deer's.

Artemis walked back, she entered her tent and fell asleep in her camp bed(cot), Percy then went to bathe, as he sat in the stream, the water re-energised him, he sighed peacefully. He enjoyed the noise of the nature, he watched the moon rise as he got up and walked back to his tent, he got in and climbed into his camp-bed and closed his eyes. As he had eyes shut, he thought back in the day from last minute sparring with Artemis then being taken to Olympus' throne room and being made gods, Olympians at that, his thoughts then crossed his mother and twin brother, he would need to make a visit soon, to see them as well as Atlantis, especially as his father would be announcing would who become the crown prince of Atlantis. Triton was another minor god of the sea as well as the messenger and herald for their father, Triton was half human-half merman whereas Percy was fully human. Nobody knew how it had happened, it just had.
