Percy Jackson one-shots (REQUESTS OPEN)

The Art of Illusion

Percy was bored. Everybody knows that when Percy is bored, strange things happen. Percy decided that he wanted to experiment with his powers. No one really knows the full extent of his powers, and he wants to figure it out. We went from trying to make ice statues to what he's doing now. What is he doing now?

Percy sat by the unlit fire as everyone was in the mess hall for lunch. He was fiddling with something he has been working on for a few days now.

All was well in the dining pavilion when Percy walked in rather suspiciously. He stood in the middle of the pavilion for a second, looking around, before his head snapped into an unnatural position. Everyone started to panic until a voice was aheard by the entrance.

"No!" It said and everyone looked to see... Percy? "Why are you like this?! You had so much potential."

Percy shook his head before flicking Other Percy in the chest making him combust into water. Percy waved off the water and it went flowing away to the nearby lake. Percy shook his head disappointingly and went to sit at his table.

"Prissy, what the fuck was that?" Clarisse asks

"I'm trying to master the art of illusion, but it proves harder than I thought." He says

"So you made us think you broke your neck for an ILLUSION?!" Will scolded

"In my defense... that wasn't supposed to happen." He says and is silent for a second before gasping "OH MY GODS! I have an idea!"

"Oh no." Annabeth says

"Not to worry everybody my illusions will be perfect in no time!" Percy says before hastily leaving the pavilion

"Something bad is about to happen." Will says and everybody can't help but agree

The next few days, no one saw a lot of Percy besides the occasional trip to the dining pavilion. No one could quite figure out where he was going. People were starting the worry what this idea he had actually was. But that changed when they saw Percy with someone no one could've expected.

"Percy you're thinking about it too much." Loki says

"You know, when I started this I thought it was gonne be way easier." Percy says

"Percy.." Annabeth says "Why is there a Norse god here?"

"Annabeth!" Percy says enthusiastically "This is Loki, he's helping me create illusions."

"Mirages." Loki corrects

"What's the difference?" Percy asks

"A mirage is a optical illusion created by atmospheric conditions whereas an illusion is a misleading picture." Loki says

"Right, but it's a type of illusion, so I'm right." Percy says

"Sure." Loki says

"Percy, you know the Norse and the Greek don't exactly get along, right?" Annabeth asks

"If it makes you feel better," Loki starts "I hate Odin just as much as you guys do."

Annabeth just nods and walks away to go talk to Chiron and Mr.D about Percy's awful decisions. Percy and Loki just sit by the lake until late morning before going into the forest to further practice.

The lunch horn sounded not much later, and everyone heard whispers of a rumor that sprang from the Hermes cabin. People are saying Percy is befriending rival gods, but Dionysus was posotive that it's not true. That is until Percy and an unidentified man walked into the pavilion. More like angrily evaded.

The campers watched as Percy and this unidentified man fought and Percy seemed to be... losing? This shocked the campers considering Percy doesn't lose. If he's close to losing he just summons some water and all is well. He wasn't doing that this time.

The person he was battling didn't seem to let up, and his eyes started glowing a bright green. This made Dionysus tense up as he knew exactly what that meant. Before he could do anything, however, the man summoned a blade out of nowhere and stabbed Percy through the chest. A wave of gasps spread through the pavilion and everyone was shocked. Except Annabeth.

"Guys, it's a mirage." She states receiving weird looks. "It would be convincing if his blood wasn't clear and they didn't freeze."

They all looked back to see a rippling image of a man stabbing Percy through the heart stuck in that position.

"Why did it freeze?" A voice, soon to be identified as Percy, says as he walks in

"I don't know." The unidentified man says "You haven't told it to do anything else so it froze I guess."

"Loki Odinson." Dionysus says and Loki looks towards him

"Friggason. Please. I don't want to be associated with that despicable man." Loki says

"You know, Parapet, I don't care that you brought a Norse god here, but if Zeus finds out you're taking blame." He says

"Parapet?" Loki asks

"Don't question it." Percy says to him "I will take full blame of Zeus throws a hissy fit over this."

Thunder rumbles in the distance and Percy just leads Loki to the Poseidon table where they sit and talk like the best of friends. Everything goes back to normal and the God of Mischief is around a lot more.

Meanwhile, Zeus is sitting on his throne plotting on how to make the disrespectful son of Poseidon pay for disrespecting the pantheon.

Poseidon is sitting on his in Atlantis sending silent threats to any god who dares try to punish him.

Let's just say the threats Zeus is making are in fact empty.

Deepest apologies for dropping off the face of the earth for a little bit there. School has been kicking my ass, and I've had no time through all my homework. I am writing another book, but idk if I'm gonna post it as I don't really like it. We'll see.
