Percy Jackson: The Elder God

Prologue

Song : Don't stop me now by Queen

It was after the war with the Titans and the children of Kronos and Rhea were celebrating their victory. The throne room of Olympus was filled with the allies who had helped them with winning the war with the Titans. As the celebration was winding down it was time for the gods to get their new domains and for the choosing of the new king and queen of Olympus and, therefore, the earth.

From the eldest to the youngest the six children of Kronos stood. The fates came with a bright flash and the ceremony started.

The fates said "Hestia, the eldest daughter of Kronos and Rhea please step forward"

Hestia meekly stepped forward and they pronounced "All hail Hestia, goddess of the hearth, architecture, and the right ordering of domesticity, the family, the home, the hatred, and the state. The first Olympian. Keeper of the hearth."

As the fates pronounced this a throne rose out of the ground and stood in the middle of the room. The throne was white in color and there was a hearth symbol made on it. There was a noticeable change in Hestia's appearance. Her eyes had turned to a darker shade of brown and it looked like her eyes consisted of fire itself but it was not a harmful fire rather a peaceful one. She bowed to the fates and went to sit on her throne. As she sat there was applause for her. She smiled thankfully to everyone.

The fates continued " Hades, the eldest male of Kronos and Rhea. Step forward"

Hades with his confident, self stepped forward. The fates pronounced " all hail Hades, God of the Dead, the Underworld, Subterranean Regions, Night, Dreams, Curses, Death, Darkness, the Earth, Fertility, Riches, the Afterlife, and Metals. The second Olympian."

There was a power surge where Hades stood and after it faded, there stood a handsome man with onyx colored eyes and black hair and a pale face. There was another rumble and now beside Hestia there stood another throne, but it was pitch black in color with souls depicted on it, there were different gems and different rubies that were on the throne and it seemed to suck the lighting in. Hades bowed to the fates and he took his throne.

Next, the fates said "Demeter, second eldest daughter of Kronos, step forward"

Demeter stepped forward and the fates pronounced "all hail Demeter, goddess of the grain, agriculture, harvest, growth, and nourishment. The third Olympian" now there was a power surge and Demeter's appearance had changed, she now had grassy green eyes and brown hair. She bowed to the fates and took her seat on the throne which had sprung from the ground. As she sat on the throne it became rocky like a field and the throne was covered with patches of grass.

Next, the fates announced " Hera, the daughter of Kronos, step forward."

Hera reluctantly stepped forward "All hail Hera, goddess of women, marriage, family, and childbirth. The fourth Olympian." The power surge again took place and the only thing that changed was her eyes changed from blue to brown. A deep rumble and another throne sprung from the ground. She bowed and took her seat of power. As she sat on the throne, it didn't change much except for small depictions of women appearing here and there.

Next up the fates in sync announced " Poseidon, son of Kronos, step forward"

Poseidon with a comfortable smile stood in front of the fates "All hail Poseidon, God of the sea, earthquakes, soil, storms, and horses. Lord of the seas. The fifth Olympian" the power surge happened and as it happened there was a lurch from the ocean as if acknowledging its new master and ready to obey his will. Another seat of power rose from the ground and as Poseidon seemed to move towards his feet made small earthquakes shook the room. As he took his seat of power the throne morphed into a fisherman's seat with a cup handle that was bottomless. It looked like it was rickety but it stood sturdy as Poseidon relaxed into it.
