Percy's POV

I was going towards the throne room. Dad called me telling me it was urgent, I sprinted past a few of the maids and the charcoal-colored halls I'd grown up in and dimly lit up with candles, giving it a more ominous tone. The candles were lit with bright blueish-cyan flames, Azure flames, or as Dad wants to call them underworld wraiths. I know very corny. (Percy might have the ability to connect to these flames) Of course, the whole dark ominous vibe is what Dad wanted. I have a reputation to uphold he says, I think it's because even though he's nowhere near that bastard Zeus he is still dramatic.


Speaking of Zeus I truly hate that man. I've heard legends of his tyranny including rape, abuse of power, killing without permission, breaking ancient laws and so much more. He also tried to kill Momsie(I used to call my mom that so I figured why not make Percy call Maria that also works because he might be too old for Mommy now and the mom P and M gets confusing just think of it as them having a more adorable relationship). Is that the way the so-called King of gods should act? He should rule with justice, it should be fair. Instead, he had sex with multiple women to make his children and then put them in the council even kicking out Auntie H. He's almost as bad as him.


The sea god is the only god I hate more than that wretched tyrant. My disgusting sperm giver. The one that left my mother and me to die. I still remember when Dad told me about him.

Percy's POV


"Hey Dad", I asked Dad.


"Yes, son?" Dad replied.


"Whenever I've been seeing water lately I feel like it is calling my name. Urging me to come towards it begging me to accept and forgive it".


"Son..... the water is connected to you. More so than you think, you and the element have more connection than you think you do".


"Why Dad? I've never met Poseidon or been in favor of any sea deities why would the water want me?"


"Son, I've been dreading this day forever now but this might be rushed but Percy you and the water are related".


I was shocked what could he mean by we are related? Was I in favor of some water deity? Did my mom have some water connections? Was she a descendent of Poseidon or maybe even... No Dad told me she was a mortal a clear-sighted mortal but that's it I was deep in thought about what he said until I heard my name break my thoughts.

"Percy my son, I'm not your original father, Poseidon is. However don't you ever think that means I'm not your dad? I've raised you like a true son of mine. I even blood-adopted you meaning you are my son just like you've always been. Percy I've watched you grow from a curious little boy to a respectful and energetic pre-teen. However, that being said Poseidon is your original father.... He tried to kill you even, I'm not sure why but he sent Cyclops after you and your mother. That's how Sally passed away".

I  sat there dazed and confused. A million questions raced through my head, the how's, the whys. Why did he not want me? Why did he try to kill me? Why did he kill my mom? I felt a moist feeling fall across my cheek. I realized it was a tear. Not a tear of wanting my dad but a tear for my mom. One feeling though arose above all others. Hate. I wanted my revenge for me but also for Mom.

I didn't know what to say. I just stood there completely still. Just feelings flooding my head so many emotions. I could understand what I could have ever done to deserve something like this. I always wondered how my mom passed but this? I never would've thought my biological dad would kill my biological mom. But one thing I knew is that one day I would get the revenge that I vowed.
