The Fatal Flaw (A Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

I Remember Misery

3rd Person POV

Zeus paces around the throne room thinking of other places to search for his nephew when something sends a shiver down his spine. He stops and thinks for a moment before he summons the rest of the Olympians. His sits at his throne and the others appear on theirs.

"Did anyone else feel that just now?" He asked cutting to the chase. The other gods nodded in agreement.

"A strong and powerful aura," Hera comments.

"True, though I do not know what from," Athena admits. The gods continue their meeting debating on what the aura is from and where to look next for Perseus.

Meanwhile, The Fates watch curiously. They know that their plan for the young god could not succed unless the search for him stopped.

"I told you we should have waited until he got to Elysium," Clotho muttered. The other two sisters ignored her and continue to make plans for the young and their pawn.

Percy POV

I don't know how long it's been since the Fates last came. I forgot what number I was on. 6? 8? Whatever it's been a while.

I lay on my bed eyes still closed since I had just woken from another dreamless sleep. I'm not sure if it is beacuse I died, The Fates or being a god but, I no longer have dreams and my ADHD isn't as bad either. Though right now it is.

I have nothing to do. Since I became a god I have been spending most of my time just changing the paint on the wall. Different colors, people, places and things etc. It's boring I know. But the Fates took my TV. I was flipping channels and realized if I got the news I could find where I am. As soon as the idea came to mind the TV vanished. So now what.

I feel as something touches my face. I open my eyes and pick up a piece of paper from my face. A note.

You need the be observant. Look around.

I do as the note says and realize I'm not in the same room, or it's changed. The door the bathroom has vanished. I slowly look around and see a window. Finally. I get up and start to walk toward it when something else catches my eye. A door. I smile as I hurry out of it. I enter a small hallway. Across from me is a bathroom, but there is also a set if stairs going down.

I start down the steps and enter a living room. Two couches, a fire place, coffee table, and a book shelf. On the book shelf there are three shelves of books written in English, Latin and Greek. Another shelf has abrosia and nectar. The top most shelf is empty. I continue and walk out the living room into a full kitchen with a small table. I hurry toward the fridge and open it with a smile.

"Thank The Fates," I mutter.

"The fridge and pantry is always stocked though must cook yourself," A voice says. I turn and the three Fates stand in front of me. I give a bow (realizing I didn't last time).

"Rise," Clotho says.

"You must do your own dishes and laundry as well. The cleaning supplies are in that closet summon more if you need,. Do not burn your food in offering," Atropos continues and I nod.

"Come along," Lachesis says turning around. I follow them out a door outside. I smile at the sun. I can't help it. I look back at the small house, it's blue but small but better than the room. I look around. I'm on a hill and I see the Fates waiting a few yards away. I hurry up to them. They stand at an intersection of three paths.

"This one leads to a forest which is always stocked with monsters for practice. They cannot leave the forest though," Clotho says pointing the path of the right.
