Chapter 1

Long Ass Summary: Some might say there's no

such thing as God. I am a firm believer in that.

Because there was never just God, there were Gods.

And how do I know that you say? Let me tell you

something, I have proof. And what is this proof I

speak of?

I am Perseus Jackson. The 'Jackson' part of my

name is completely fake though. I am the son of

Poseidon and Artemis. I am the forbidden 13th

Olympian.

I was born a god.

And that's my proof.

Perseus P.O.V

I wasn't supposed to be born, in fact I was forbidden.

My mother, Goddess of the Hunt, Artemis, vowed to

never seek the company of a man or have any

children. So much for that.

My father, God of the Seas, Poseidon, took two

sacred oaths, one preventing him from having demi-god children, and one to prevent him from having any

immortal children. Again, so much for that.

But I guess I have to give them some credit, it wasn't

their fault I was born, it was completely out of their

hands. I'll get to that in a bit.

So, you probably guessed it, I'm an immortal god, an

Olympian in fact. One whose very existence is

considered a crime to Zeus, King of the Sky.

You see, there was a telling from Apollo that spurred

He shall destroy sky, time, earth, and elder sea,

Any that oppose peace shall fall to Victory,

Ruler of the heart, and conqueror of the mind,

Love's hands to be forever intertwined,

Blessed by the Universe, the Creator,

Always to be the greater,

Taker of power, and of immortal life,

Never to cause the innocent pain or strife.

And since it was a telling there were no double

meanings, a telling is less vague than a prophecy,

more straightforward, spoken by Apollo himself.

There was no avoiding it, just postponing it. But still,

Zeus tried his best to prevent it; his efforts were in

vain, obviously since I was still born.

Right, how my mother and father had me, well, I was

an accident. Not the 'Oh, well looks like I forgot to

take my pill today. Sorry Honey!' kind of thing, it was
