Chapter 9: Alaska

/Chapter 9: Alaska

The trio took their ship back through Puget Sound and back up the Strait of Juan de Fuca until they reached the Pacific Ocean. Piper had remained quiet since getting back on the boat as she thought about everything she learned about Percy, including a couple questions she still wanted answered./

"They'll probably just lead to more questions," Jason said. "That's what tends to happen."

/After a few hours on the open sea, Hazel had gone below to get some rest leaving Piper alone with Percy.

"There is more to your story isn't there Jackson?" Piper asked but it was more of a statement.

Percy looked up at Piper and nodded, "Of course there is. Whether or not I will tell you will depend on what you ask."

Piper narrowed her eyes, "What happened in the lobby with those Amazon's weapons? No mortal demigod would have imperial gold snap in half over their skin."/

"I'm no mere mortal," Percy said. "Well, not entirely anyways."

/Percy looked at Piper stoically before he chuckled and nodded, "You know, you don't have to be so suspicious of me. If you have a question then just ask. If I don't want to answer I will tell you that, I won't lie to you."

Piper's face softened just a bit and she nodded, "You're right, my apologies. Now, the weapons?"

Percy smirked, "I will tell you what I know. I honestly don't have most of my memories yet but Diana did explain that part to me but you had better sit down as it is a longer story than you might expect."

Piper nodded for Percy to continue.

"I am sure you Romans fought in the last war with the Titans, correct?" He asked./

"Yeah, and apparently while we did, you were having the battle of a lifetime," Reyna said.

/Piper nodded, "Yes we stormed Mount Othrys where Jason killed the Titan Krios and destroyed the throne of Saturn which led to his destruction."

Percy shook his head, "Partially correct, but mostly wrong. There was a prophecy issued almost a century ago that said a child of the eldest gods, as in Neptune, Jupiter or Pluto, would reach the age of sixteen and make a decision that would decide the fate of Olympus. I was that child. That's why my father had me trained by all the greatest heroes in the Underworld while I grew up. I don't remember what happened but Diana said I completed the prophecy and defeated Kronos, or Saturn to you, and lead the defense of Olympus."/

"All the way down to the last Olympian," Hestia said.

/Piper's eyes widened in shock but Percy held up his hand as he wasn't finished.

"What I remember is my father sending me to retrieve two of my siblings from a school before Jupiter could have them brought to Olympus. I went in their place where the gods voted and allowed me to live. I was sent to the Greek camp where I was asked to go on a quest to rescue Diana with two of my friends and two hunters of Diana. Like I told you, we succeeded but one of the hunters died and the other should have died. Neptune helped me save the second hunter but when we returned to Olympus, the three Fates themselves came to tell me I had changed fate. They made that hunter leave the hunt so another could take her place. The girl who replaced the hunter would have been the child of the prophecy but apparently that was my fate and not hers. The ex-hunter came to camp with me and became my friend. Before Neptune came to our ship she was the only person I remembered from my past life. After that things are still blurry to me but Diana told me that I bathed in the River Styx at some point before my battle with Saturn. That is what I remember so that is what I can tell you." Percy said out of breath./
