Hi there, my name is Percy Jackson I would give you all my titles but then we would be here all day so I'll give you the cliff notes version, I slayed the Titan of time and the literal Earth, pissed off many gods while also gaining the trust of a lot of them, saved myself from being completely destroyed on multiple occasions, and ended up with the most beautiful girl in the world, or at least that last one was true until a certain someone came around. A few weeks ago a boy by the name of Jack Tanner came into camp, he was chased by a couple of hellhound which easily destroyed, that's where I went to go check on him he grabbed my sword and pushed me to the ground and told everyone that was around that he killed them and that I just stood and watched it, nobody really believed him so I didn't really care, but I should have, he was soon claimed by Hermes and that's when things started going downhill. Other peoples belongings started disappearing an ending up being found broken by my cabin, one by one every cabin started to abandon me and think I was a traitor, there were only a few people left that trusted me, a few gods and goddesses who's trust I earned, the hunters because lady Artemis respected me, Nico because he was always in the underworld helping his dad, Piper because Jason broke up with her and I was the only one to comfort her, and the Romans mostly because they saw I was loyal to everyone. I was just returning to camp after a month I'm doing things for the gods just to gain Athena's blessing to marry Annabeth, as I was walking through the camp I got many glares and people were constantly muttering curses at me, but none of rhat mattered to me, with the box hand I was walking to the Athena cabin to talk to my wise girl. I soon reached the Athena cabin and was greeted by gray eyed glares from all around. "hey have any of you seen Annabeth?" I asked, Annabeth's half brother Malcom said in a harsh and unforgiving tone "no, now why don't you get lost you dirty traitor." I sighed because I was used to it, the Athena cabin were one of the first to leave me, if Annabeth hadn't believed I wasn't responsible for what happened then they would never talk to me. I continued searching for her and soon found myself at Zeus's fist still unable to find her, that is untill I heard two people, the son of a bitch Jack and a female, I climbed the rock to see he was making out with some girl with blond hair, at first I thought nothing of it then I heard her speak. "You kiss so much better than Percy Jack" she said, it was then I realized who it was, it was my wise girl, the one who I went through literal hell with, I jumped off the rock right in front of them and made them jump, I stood in front of them angry, disappointed, and devastated all at the same time. "What the Hades Annabeth?!" I yelled, she was shocked and said back just as angry "what do you mean, you left to play with some mortal women and left me here alone, did you really think I was going to let you cheat on me without doing the same?" As soon as those words left your mouth I was more pissed "you really think that's what happened, your mom has made me do favors for every Olympian just to get her permission to propose!" I opened the ring box and showed her what was inside, it was a half gold half bronze ring on one side was a horse carved in, and on the other an owl. I threw the box in anger and tired to leave, that's when I noticed a lot of campers that showed up, all carrying weapons varying from person to person, "what's going on?" I asked bluntly, it was actually Jack who answered with mockery in his voice "they're here to punish you Jackson, for thinking you could stand up to me and for doing all that terrible stuff to them". I slowly backed up against the boulder as the campers advanced on me, I would have pulled out riptide but unfortunately I had lost it and it was still not in my pocket yet, I felt something jetting out from The Rock, it felt like a long shaft so I grabbed it, I turned to see I just grabbed more of the boulder, the campers laughed at this and readied their weapons. Nothing else to lose I pulled on the shaft and found that it was sliding out, when I lifted it up and looks like a stone sword, then it slowly began to Glow and change looking brand new, it looked as if it was made from gold and silver, there was an opening in the center through which I could see through at the sidespopping out where pictures of people holding the blade up, it let off an eerie blue glow that everyone backed away from.

Smoke poured from the blade like an eerie fog over a cemetery in cliche horror movies, this fog came a blue spectral figure couldn't make out his face but I could tell he was wearing armor, he spoke in a deep commanding voice "thou who has pulled the blade from the stone, it has deemed you worthy of wielding it and ending the tyranny that has befallen Olympus." soon after he said that I felt the power coursing through me, it felt as if I was walking through Greek fire, wanted to scream so bad but I kept it in because while it hurt it also felt empowering, soon the sensation left and I was left standing there sword in hand and a bit taller, the campers looked at me a mixture of fear and confusion, that's when I heard it, 12 lighting bolts landed right in front of me and from those lightning bolts were the 12 Olympians, Zeus looked at me and said in a booming voice "Perseus Jackson, you have pulled the sword of Olympus a forbidden weapon, you shall be tried and if we find you are a threat to Olympus you shall be destroyed and your soul banished from the afterlife forced to walk in Tartarus forever." And it was as soon as he said that that I realized, the worst day of my life has just begun.
