Rise of New Olympus

Chapter 6

Throne Room of Atlantean Royal Palace-

The supernatural commotion in the room calmed down. On the throne Percy was sitting. His slightly tanned skin suited his robust muscles. Messy black hair and Deep-sea blue eyes made him look handsome. An orange Camp Half Blood T-shirt was a little small for him, so he took it off. Now his muscles were more visible.

Zartra blushed at the sight.

"This is amazing!" Percy exclaimed, "I feel amazing! So much power flowing inside my veins. This is much better than fusing with that Vulture Goddess. Hey Herc, look at my body, my muscles, aren't they awesome?"

"Yes, it's awesome Jackson. This is the first time I've seen someone become a god. I was dead when I became one, so I don't know how it looked. You are radiating so much power. Oh, I cannot control myself." Herc clenched his fist and suddenly pointed at Percy. "Jackson! I challenge you to a fight. Show me your power!" He announced.

"A fight? Hades yeah! I'll fight you. I wanna test my powers too. So, just hand to hand?" Percy asked and Herc nodded.

"Before fight drain water from this room. I know it can do that." Herc said.

Percy looked at Zartra. She looked a little frightened. She said, "yes my king. This room can be drained by using the trident, though I've never seen Namor or Attuma doing it before. I have only heard about it."

Percy looked at the trident in his hand. He tapped it on the floor once and water started moving towards it. Slowly trident absorbed all the water in that room and the room filled with breathable air.

"That's handy." Percy remarked. He then stood up and walked down the stairs towards Herc. Suddenly a portal appeared between them and a man wearing red cloak stepped through.

"Greetings again, Mr. Jackson." Dr. Strange greeted. "It is nice to see you too sir Hercules." Zartra pulled out her sword and readied herself.

"A sorcerer? What are you doing here sorcerer?" Herc asked. "This is a godly matter, you people should stay away."

"I cannot, because I'm here for a godly matter as well. I'd like both of you to come to my sanctuary." Strange explained.

Herc looked at Percy, "I think we should go. I trust him, he visited me before. And I know he's not a bad guy, I saw his movie." Percy said.

"Then I got no objection. Let's go." Herc said.

As Percy walked towards the portal Zartra called, "wait. My king what about Atlantis?"

"Oh yeah, about that. Zartra until I return, you will govern the Atlantis. I've seen your loyalty towards Atlantis, so I think you would be best for this job. Don't disappoint me. And yeah, don't sit on that throne. That throne is for gods, mortals can't handle that much power." Percy said.

"As... As your wish my king. I will serve Atlantis with my life. I won't disappoint you. I will wait for your return." Zartra bowed deeply.

Percy let go the trident and it vanished in a golden light. A tattoo of a trident appeared on his arm. Impressed Percy stepped through the portal and it closed behind him.

'Whoa, he's scary.' Zartra thought looking at the spot where the portal was.

Third floor of Sanctum Sanctorum (177A, Bleecker Street, New York)-

Percy, Hercules and Dr. Strange were sitting around a table. Nobody had spoken for a while. Herc and doc were staring at each other and Percy, still bare chested looking at a cup of coffee in his hand.
