Chapter 1

Percy

Have you ever been forgotten? Left behind when you have been abandoned by everyone you love? If not, good. You want to keep it that way. The feeling of your life coming to a tortuous end really sucks.
I was betrayed by almost all those who knew and loved me and now I am alone and forgotten. My name is Perseus Jackson, Hero of Olympus, slayer of all, and a proud son of Poseidon.
That was my life until everything changed. I am now known as no one. No name, no title. A forgettable figure that blends in as you walk down the street. I am homeless as my parents threw me aside and I have been forgotten in the mythological world. I am completely alone. Passersby give me no more than a second glance.
You might be wondering how this all happened, well you are about to find out...

----Flashback----
I was lying on the beach. It had been a month since the giant war had ended and I defeated Gaia. This was the one place I was granted any peace as everyone congratulated me constantly even though I kept telling then that nothing would have been accomplished without the help of my friends. I was starring out at the glistening sea when I was unfortunately interrupted.
"Percy, get down here now! I hope you brought your sword!" I jumped up and ran towards the voice. I had reached the top of Half-blood Hill when I realised my old friend was waiting for me. It was, you guessed it, the Minotaur. He was chasing a boy that looked around my age. He had black hair like mine and the exact same sea-green eyes. Before I could soak up the information I realised that the poor kid was still being chased by the ugly brute.
"Over here!" I yelled, getting the beef head's attention. I charged towards him and slashed at its body. In a few mere seconds, the Minotaur turned to dust. I walked towards the kid, who was hiding behind a tree. "It's alright," I said "I'm not going to hurt you," He came out from behind the tree and I noticed there was something strange about his face. He had a look of greed in his eyes like he wanted everything I had. And I was right. Over the next few days, this boy (whose name was Xander) was claimed as a son of Poseidon. I was overjoyed at the thought of having a brother but I soon discovered his true colours. Xander got sent on one quest and when he came back, everybody loved him. He made his quest seem so hard, even though he encountered two monsters and a very large hill. I got this intel from Leo, who went on the quest with him.
Soon Xander stole all my friends one by one, and my heroic deeds that had saved Olympus were forgotten. My father no longer talked to me, and Mum and Paul moved to Australia, saying that they wanted to get away from me and all my problems as I would endanger any future family they hoped to have. This broke my heart, but it isn't surprising.
All I had left was Leo, Jason, Nico, and Thalia. Annabeth moved further and further away from me before completely deserting me for my Pegasus poop brother. I couldn't take it anymore. I left, without a second thought. Sure, I would miss this place and the friends that hadn't abandoned me but I needed to get out...
----End of Flashback----

I was lying on the street, determined not to feel sorry for myself when suddenly I heard growling behind me. I saw a giant wolf looming over me. It was pure black with tiny silver hairs in parts that made it look like the universe. Its claws were sharp and glistened in the light. The wolf was now so close that its stale breath tickled the back of my neck and left shivers down my spine. I pulled out Riptide but before I could do anything the wolf lunged at me. I swerved out the way but it managed to bite my shoulder. A massive pain shot through my body and before I could retaliate or move out of the way I fell to my knees and the world went black.
