Children of the Seven

Chapter 4: Leo

I didn't understand why Zeus wanted us to go to Olympus. Maybe he was granting us a wish. That would be cool, and I could find Calypso more easily. My adopted son Jake would be coming as well.

"Hey Jakeronee, I'm back!" I smiled. He's 17 and a half, so I trust him to be by himself.

"Hey hot stuff," Jake said, clearly pleased with his 'trash talk' "All mighty lover of Calypso."

"Shut up!" I responded, "where going to Olympus, and you need to come with." I've told Jake about the gods being real. Being a son of Hephaestus, it was easy for him to believe. I guess with all the cool gadgets I have.

"Okay, let me get my phone," Jake said, and ran down the hall.

"Okay, kiddo, where leaving."

"The seven!" Zeus boomed "or should I say six? Sorry about your loss!" He said, though he was gleaming with pride.

"Alright, if you wish for him to come back, he will still have his wish! Now, continue.

Jason, son of me-"

"Lord Zeus," Jason interrupted "son of Jupiter."

"Sorry," Zeus murmured. All the children and parents chose to be gods or goddesses. I did the same, then, it was Annabeth's turn.

"Daughter of wisdom, what would you like?" Zeus asked, smiling. He probably had a dentist appointment that was canceled.

"Okay, I want Percy back," Annabeth said. "Let my children become gods and goddesses. Zoe will be our daughter!" Percy soon popped up, slightly confused.

"Hey Annabeth," Percy grinned. Then it faded. "Where are we?"

"Getting wishes, seaweed brain!" Annabeth said, crying of joy.

"Perseus," Zeus said "what would you like?" Percy thought, then smiled.

"For Annabeth to become a goddess," he said "let her be a goddess! She brought me back, and she deserves it."

"No! Percy!" Annabeth screamed, but it was too late. All of us would happily be gods and goddesses, except Percy, the most selfless.

"Percy, may I speak to you?"Poseidon asked, gripping his trident. Percy nodded, dragging Annabeth with him.
