Perseus Jackson: Titan of The Hunt

CH41: Ascension and Adoption

(Percy)

Well then no pressure or anything then was what I wanted to say in response to the Primordials question. However I also understood the seriousness of the situation and what Pontus was offering me and the others.

I really wanted to have a water domain and had been secretly disappointed with the fact I could not have Oceanus's as it would have been fitting I suppose. Though I would rather not have to kill someone to get it. I was sure the others would also be pleased to get more power over their domains thanks to the empowerment by the primordials gift, my father would probably take great delight in rubbing it in Zeus's face after all what chance did he have of getting the same offer as Ouranos had already faded.

It was strange that Pontus had highlighted the fact that we would all gain some of his power which suggested that Diana and Tyson would also gain domains as well which was strange. Although strange in a good way as it would be cool for my little bro to be an immortal Cyclops god and that was saying nothing about having something else in common with my new girlfriend besides hopefully she would no longer need that damned bubble. As funny as it was to see her walking back after being forced back by Pontus's voice alone she looked really stupid it reminded me of an old film I watched back at Gabe's place about a boy who was stuck in a bubble though for completely different reasons of course. He had a illness or something and she was two miles down in the ocean.

Then there were the advantages to myself other than the aforementioned. I would finally be a real immortal Titan with all the advantages that would come with it; I would no longer need help flashing around. I would no longer be able to die or at least permanently. Diana would no longer be left alone if something happened to me which I knew tormented her at the possibility of a re-occurrence of yesterday.

Though of course there was a cost. I would lose my inherited abilities from my father. Sure I would lose none of my hydro-kinesis abilities as I would have them replaced. But I would lose my minor abilities to create earthquakes and sadly my equestrian ones which meant I would no longer be able to talk with Blackjack, Scipio and not so sadly Arion as well as the other Pegasi. There was also the fact I would lose the Curse/Blessing of Achilles but then again I would be immortal though I did not think Styx would appreciate me losing it for second time though what could she do about it. The last thing was the most worrying was that I would be at last bound by the ancient laws though technically I could operate around the hunt in the same way as Artemis could.

'Perseus know that whatever you choose you will always be my son, if you are having doubts about losing your legacy know that Athena is not always the only one who has a plan for every contingency.' My father said with a shine in his eyes like he actually did have a way to counter my losses perhaps or at least some of them.

'Yes father.' I said turning from him back towards the massive Primordial noticing all eyes looking at me only pausing to stare into Diana's that were shining silver hopefully telling me what I should do. Sure there would be losses but I had overcome far greater what was a few special abilities when compared to losing the girl you thought you were destined to be with. Even if I had found love again Annabeth still remained my greatest what if, even if she did tell me to move on and reluctantly I had.

'I accept your offer Lord Pontus.' I said looking upwards at his face.

'I see you have overcome your hesitation then, good my guests should be here shortly.' He said confusingly and I guessed everyone behind me was probably equally as confused as I was before three more bubbles appeared in the room each filled with a identical elderly woman who looked just as confused to be here. The fates quickly however noticed the colossal water figure behind them.

'Greetings Uncle Pontus, why have you summoned us here?' The three said at once clearly as unaware of why they were here as I was.

'With Perseus's help I wish to fade not before bequeathing my power to worthy successors. You are to ensure my power is distributed fairly.' He explained and the Moirai stood opened mouthed before nodding reverently.
