Percy Jackson son of Hades

Chapter 3: happy birthday pal.

Percy woke up to someone shaking him. When he opened his eyes, and his vision cleared, he saw his father and mother sitting on the sides of his bed. His father, Hades, held a plate with four chocolate chip muffins with one candle in each of them. Percy smiled.

"Happy birthday Percy." His father said with a smile. Percy smiled back as his mother kissed his forehead.

"We'll let you get ready for the day. But remember to be home on time for dinner tonight." Persephone told the young demigod.

"That means no late-night training with Achilles. Or the furies. Or Odysseus. Or any other Greek hero you train with." Hades cut in.

"Does this mean if I stay late with Agamemnon, I can finally stop being trained by him. I mean, he kind of killed his daughter. And made Achilles quit fighting." Percy said. The boy's parents just rolled their eyes at the boy's antics.

"Just blow out your candles and get ready for the day," Hades told him.

"Yes, sir!" And Percy did as he was told.

Percy smiled as he grabbed his watch. He then walked through one of the shadows in his room.

When he came through on the other side, he saw his best inter-dimensional friend.

"Hey, Thanatos. Long time no see." He said.

"Hey, Zoi. Happy birthday." The dark prince said.

"Right back at ya." The two smiled.

"I can't believe it's been about two years since I accidentally shadow traveled here," Percy told Zoi.

"Yeah. We've had some fun in these past couples of years. How's your dad?"

"He's doing fine. How's your family?"

"Pretty good. But I have a bad feeling."

"About what?"

"I don't know. It just feels like I won't be here for much longer."

"Well, you guys do move around a lot."

Zoi scoffed and rolled his eyes. The boys would talk for a few hours before Percy looks at Zoi.

"Hey, time for your present, dude," Percy told him. Zoi smiled.

"If I knew we were giving presents, I would have gotten ya something." Zoi playfully punched his arm.

"Too bad, so sad. Anyway, your gift is... drumroll, please." A skeleton popped up behind the boys with a drum set but was using bones instead of drum sticks.

"There is a mist that his ghosts. That's your present."

"What?" The skeleton went away—Bye-bye, skully the skeleton. Percy then went into detail about what his gift was.

"Oh. Cool." Zoi said.

"Percy! Dinner will start soon, little brother!" The voice of one of Zoi's sisters echoed through the woods.

"I'll see you later, Zoi. My parents will kill me if I'm late."

"See ya, Thanatos." And with that, the two parted ways.

☠️☠️☠️

The day ended with Percy gaining the official title 'Prince of the underworld' a new watch that when you pulled the thing that adjusts time turned into a freaking spear, plus it kept good time, and he finally didn't have Agamemnon as his teacher. All in all, it was a good day.

Ok, so to avoid having many chapters being the same, I might just do one part in one book and the other in another. Also, I might not update tomorrow due to an AP exam. Chances are slim for that happening but can't be too cautious.
