Perseus: The First Son of Zeus and Hera

Birth

The king of Olympus is pacing back and forth outside the room his wife is currently in giving birth. He is anxious as he will be his first born. He wonders what domains he will achieve or if he will even be the son he wants. A loud cry interrupts his pacing and thoughts and quickly goes into the room and sees his wife, Hera, holding a bundle and crying while touching the face of his son. Hera looks up to see her husband and nodes for him to come forward. Zeus comes forwards and gasps softly at the bright blues= eyes that are staring back at him. The baby lifts a hand towards him and he can't stop himself from chuckling while he grabs on to it. Once he does he can sense that his son would be a very powerful god and can't help but feel proud.

"What shall we name him?" Hera asks him. Zeus is still looking at his son as he falls back asleep "Perseus, his name is Perseus" he says proudly handing the child back to her. "That's a beautiful name" she says. He smiles at his wife while also thinking about his other lover, Leto, in which he knows is at the moment pregnant as well. He will have to bring the child to Olympus when he/she comes of age. He left the room and went to the throne room and shot a lightning bolt to the sky to summon his siblings. One by one they all flashed in: Poseidon, Hades, Demeter, and Hestia. "Why have you called us brother?" Hades asked once everyone was in their thrones. Zeus smiled something that shocked all of them "Hera has just given birth to my son, Perseus" he says with pride in his voice.

"What?" asks Poseidon shocked his brother has a son. Zeus looks at all of them "Yes as of today there is a new god among us and he is my son" he says. Hestia got off her throne and hugged her brother "Congratulations brother" she says. Zeus looks at his elder sister with a smile "thank you". "When will we see him?" Demeter asks. Zeus was about to say something when Hera walked in holding a child that looked to be a few months old already. "How about now" she says with a smile. Hestia and Demeter quickly made their way towards their sister in order to see their nephew. Poseidon and Hades walked towards her as well to look at him all the while Zeus was in the back smiling but also dreading bringing up that he as another kid waiting to be conceived.

Three years Later

Perseus is already 18 years of age in physical appearance as gods grow so much faster than mortals and is walking towards the throne room so he can get his domains from the fates. He sees his father with two other children and figures that these two are the two children he talked about the past year, they are also his new siblings. His father sees him "Perseus" he calls out and he makes his way towards him with the twins. "Yes father" he asks politely. He motions the twins that look younger than him and are staring at him with curiosity "these are your siblings Artemis and Apollo" he says. Perseus walks up to them and looks them up and down making the twins shift uncontrollably which makes him laugh "hello I'm Perseus son of Zeus and Hera" he says with pride. The girl with auburn hair and silver eyes looks at him and Perseus can't help but feel like he is being examined. "I'm Apollo and this is my little sister Artemis" the boy Apollo says which seems to shake his sister out of her thought as she smacks him on the back of the head "I'm older than you" she says. Perseus and Zeus just laugh at their antics as they continue to make their way to the throne room.

When they walk in the council is their which only consist of Zeus, Hera, Hades, Poseidon, Demeter, and Hestia and are in their godly form of 25ft (made that up). Zeus grows in height and sits in his throne and calls forth the fates. "Fates we the Olympian Council call forth thee" He says and shoots his master bolt to the ground. Then there is a bright light and three woman appear and all the gods bow to which Perseus and the twins soon follow. The three woman walk up to Apollo "All hail Lord Apollo God of the Sun, archery, athleticism, prophecy, the arts, and good health." they said and Apollo then glowed a bright gold and when the light died down there was a noise and a new throne appeared besides Demeter, The Fates then turned to Artemis "All Hail Lady Artemis Goddess of the moon, archery, hunting, independence, and virginity" they said and Artemis then glowed a bright silver and a new throne also appeared next to Apollos. Then they turned to Perseus and pause as they talked in rushed whispers between them. "You have a pure heart which won't fade and your loyalty will know no bounds" Clotho said. "Which is why we bestow you a gift" Atropos said. Then together "All Hail Lord Perseus God of night, creation, destruction, and" they pause "fate" they finished and Perseus glowed a mixture of white and black before a new throne was made next to Hestia's. The fates then conjure weapons two bows and a sword. They gave the bows to Apollo and Artemis while Perseus got the sword "these are your symbols of power" the fates finished.

The fates left the room and it was quit as everyone tried to get over the fact the fates gave Perseus power over their domain. Hera got out of her throne and went down to normal height before embracing her son. Zeus got over his shock and soon stood up "All Hail Lord Perseus, Lord Apollo, and Lady Artemis the new Olympians" he exclaimed as all the other Olympians got up and yelled "hail". When Hera stepped back Zeus also congratulated his children. "now you must grow to your godly height and sit in your thrones" he said. The three did as they said and sat on their thrones and they did they can all feel their connection to their domains. Their thrones also changed. Apollo's turned from marble to pure gold and a picture of the sun and a bow appeared on it. Artemis' turned silver the color of the moon and a picture of the moon and a bow appeared. Then finally came Perseus' throne and it changed to a dark mixed with white color with a red line going across and a picture of his sword and the fates appeared on top.

Few Millennium Later

Perseus sat on his throne for the Winter solstice meeting and pondered how much things have changed. He got more siblings that were turned into Olympians Athena, Ares, Aphrodite, Hermes, Hephaestus. His uncle Hades lost his throne and was banished to the underworld by Zeus and Poseidon. They all gained a Roman side as well from went they abandoned Greece for Rome. They all received different names as well Jupiter/Zeus, Juno/Hera, Neptune/Poseidon, Pluto/Hades, Ceres/Demeter, Vesta/Hestia, Phoebe Apollo/Apollo, Diana/Artemis, Minerva/Athena, Mars/Ares, Vulcan/Hephaestus, Venus/Aphrodite, Bacchus/Dionysus, and lastly Perseus but they kept that name as the same with his same domains. The only one who hates Rome would be Athena as a Greek Goddess she is the Goddess of wisdom, reason, handiwork, and strategy in battle while her Roman counterpart Minerva is the Goddess of crafts, poetry, medicine, and music. Everyone even Perseus had a good laugh at that.

Also along with Hades his aunt Hestia stepped down too give her throne to in Perseus' opinion a lazy drunk in Dionysus. It seems his father will never be able to keep it in his pants. They decided to create two separate camps for both Roman and Greek demi-gods. The only Gods who don't have children of any kind are himself, Artemis who he has had a great friendship with that she considers him her best friend and his aunt Hestia who although it may seem odd he has a slight crush on. His mother doesn't have demi-gods either. He has watched as his three uncles kill each other's demi-gods just because they don't like each other or in my father's case is afraid they might take his throne. He has also figured out that the sword the fates gave him can make any immortal fade as he has done so to one of the rouge minor gods. They also decided to leave Olympus in Greece and make a new one on top of the Empire State Building.

"Meeting dismissed" Zeus says and dramatically flashes out making Perseus roll his eyes. He watches as every other god flashes out except Aphrodite. He was about to flash out as well when she stopped him "Percy" she says seductively. He looks at her and can't help but see how beautiful she looks "yes" he says. "About you spend some alone time with me" she says using her charm speak. It works for a second but he just shakes his head. "Maybe another time" he says looking at the hearth. She sees what he is looking at "you know she will never like you back right I mean she is a maiden goddess" she says. Now that makes Percy stop and think and realizes she has a point "okay lead the way then" he tells her. She just smirks and walks towards him and kisses him hard and teleports them to her palace where he spends the rest of the night with her.

After that day they would occasionally sleep together and she has always wanted a child out of it be he made sure that wouldn't happen as he didn't want a child. He feels something in his domain of fate and sees three demi-gods and a satyr running from monsters. He realizes that he is watching one of his step-siblings, Thalia Grace, tell the group to run while she stays back and he has to give her credit for her bravery. He wants to help her but he knows her fate and can't interfere but let it run its course. He saw that she was dying while a bolt of lightning struck down turning her into a tree which put a barrier around camp half blood. He just shakes his head sadly and stops watching all together. He flashes to his palace and went to sleep getting a vision of the fates. He gasps awake knowing he won't be able to tell anyone about what he just saw, Kronos is rising.
