Echoes Through Eternity : Percy's Second Chance

Chapter 5

Percy had always wondered if he should tell anyone about his time - travel - to - an - alternate - universe plight. He wondered if they would think him to be insane or having demigod dreams, or if they would believe him.

He knew his father suspected something with the amount of times he and his sister had gone to Atlantis for their training with their father and brother. He knew they looked at him when he executed a move he knew from his previous life. But they usually chalked it up to him being a fast learner as Rhea copied his skill in a way and outdid him with her own style and flair.

It was obvious many things had changed in this timeline, like Rhea existing for example. There was no Gabe Ugliano in this lifetime thanks to his Mama Amphy putting a block around them to hide them from the demons for as long as she could. He was closer to his family, he was still a mommy's boy without shame. He had his father in his life and it is going better.

But he still wakes up in the middle of the night due to the nightmares. The dreams of everyone dying made him not want to sleep.

Every night, whenever he woke up, Rhea would wake up and she would hug him till he fell asleep crying, not leaving him for a moment. He felt guilty that he could not tell her what was bothering him, yet she was still there next to him.

He was around seven when The Moirai visited him in his dreams.

Perseus Jackson They spoke in his mind, their mouths unmoving as always.

"My Ladies'" Percy said as he gave them a curt nod, his expression confused.

"How may I help you today?" He asked, curiosity evident in his voice.

You must tell Rhea Jackson the truth about your existence. She will help you. Their gravely voice echoed through his brain, trying to find any lie in them.

"I was allowed to tell people?" He asked, his guilt increasing.

No. They spoke, Only Rhea Jackson.

"Why only her? Why not my father? Or anyone else?" He asked, because while he wanted to tell Rhea, he wanted to tell the others as well.

Because she is a major part of your future. She was born and created for the sole reason to help you save this world. She is a part of your soul and would be vital in helping you. When all is done, your world and this one will merge in its own form and she will leave.

This made Percy freeze with anger, his eyes suddenly blazing with rage.

"So you're telling me that my sister, my baby sister, was only created and born for just helping me and not to live her own life? That her only reason for existence was to what? Be a soldier so I succeed in this war that you wrote about yourself?"

While Percy had been hesitant about his sister at first, he had grown to love her and cherish her more than anything, even his mother. They were in-built best friends, as she had once said. They did almost everything together, despite the small disagreements they have had before.

And here he was finding out that the only reason his sister was alive was because of some messed up reason the fates had cooked up.

We understand how it may seem- They started speaking only to be cut off.

"Tell me, My Ladies. How badly do you want this world to live?" he asked, his voice harder than stone.

Their silence told him the necessary answer.

"Because, believe me when I say this, if anything happens to my sister and she is taken from me by the end of it because of some messed up game you created to merge my timeline in any way or something, I will drown this world and everyone in it." His voice echoed with a promise that even the Moirai shivered in fear.
