The Son of Night

Chapter 1

3rd Person POV

Percy was on his way to Olympus to see what Athena wanted from him- you see after going through the Titan War, Tartarus and The Giant War, All Percy wanted was to settle down and have a break with his girlfriend, Annabeth. So Percy went to ask Athena for her hand in marriage and she said he would have to report to her tommorow for a task to complete. Determined to complete the task Percy already asked Hephaestus to make an engagement ring. By the next day it was done and it was beautiful. It was a silvery-grey band with and sea green stone and smaller gems surrounding the bigger one that blended from grey to sea green.

As Percy walked to The Empire State Building he was ecstatic but also slightly curious and scared, curious of what the task would be and scared because he knew Athena would definitely not make the task easy. Turns out being the Saviour Of Olympus isn't even enough for he but no matter what the task was he would do it. As he approached The Empire State Building he went into the lobby and asked for the key to the 600th floor.

"There isn't any 600th floor kid."

Percy raised an eyebrow and replied,

"Really I thought even you would know who I am by now ." putting emphasis on the you. The Doorman's eyes widened then he grumbled and grudgingly gave Percy the key. He just nodded in return. As Percy went up he had to listen to some really boring old song he didn't know. When the elevator opened he stepped out and toons moment to admire the work his Wise Girl had done.

'She truly is something amazing.' he thought.

He walked to Athena's palace and saw Thalia and Nico there too. With their backs to him. He grinned and thought about sneaking up on them.

Percy POV

I crept quietly behind Thalia and Nico who seemed to be arguing so as I got close I clapped my hand on both their shoulders and said,

"HEEEEYY YOU GUYS CANT ARGUE WITHOUT ME"

Both their heads whipped around and I received a punch and hug from Nico and a slap with added electric and a hug from Thalia. Ouch Nico can pack a punch and I HATE it when Thalia slaps me with electricity.

"KELP HEAD! DONT DOTHAT AGAIN OR ILL SHOCK YOU ALL THE WAY UP TO WHERE ZOE IS!" Bet you can't guess who said that.

"Jeez Percy I agree with Pinecone Face here"

"Ok. Ok. But you know Thals if you struck me with lightning wouldn't I go down rather than up because lightning comes from above?" I said with a small smile.

"Shut up Kelp Head."

"No you know what I'm like and where are you two going?"

"We're going to Athena's palace because she summoned us"

"She told me to come too so she can assign me a task"

We stopped our conversation as we got to Athena's Palace and we knocked on the door. A second later Athena the goddess of Wisdom stood before us.

"Lady Athena" We all bowed.

"Good all of you are here now come in"

We walked into the living room and sat down and looked to Athena.

"As you already know I am assigning Perseus a task so he can prove himself worthy of my daughter. Nico and Thalia I summoned you to accompany Perseus merely for company but no help."

Athena looked at all three of us then suddenly we were all flashed to a place I recognised as The Amazon's HQ.

"Perseus! Before your first task you must train for I assure you even after defeating the Titans, the Giants and Gaea this is harder then even them and originally I was going to make you do the 12 Labours Of Heracles but then I decided on something more... challenging. Good luck and try to not anger the Amazons." She then turned and nodded to an Amazon and flashed out then the next thing I knew I was shown a room and told I would begin tommorow.

'Harder than the Gaea, The Titans, The Giants AND the 12 Labours Of Heracles?! I really need to train...' I thought but when I thought of Annabeth I became determined and steeled my nerves. I then looked around the room and saw it had a King Sized bed a large wardrobe and a desk. I sighed. I was tired so I took my shoes, socks and shirt off and drifted into the realm of Morpheus as soon as my head hit the pillow.
