The Guardian Chronicles

Chapter 2

Poseidon's POV

Right now I was shocked. Why does my own son want to kill himself?

"And why do you want that young hero?" Zeus thundered (CUE THE DRUMS).

"Well for starters, that Chase girl cheated on me."

"You dare accuse my daughter?!" Athena yelled, clearly frustrated. Trust me, you do NOT  want to make her mad. She's like a verbal fright train!

"If you want to find the truth, you can ask Apollo."

"Alright bro, lets begin. It's like those classic games, if it's true a bell will sound. Let's go" Apollo exclaimed excitedly.

"Alright it started when Adam Green, Son of Poseidon, arrived at camp and when's saved him, he accused me of just staring there while he killed them blah blah blah ............." as he kept rambling on about what happened, I slowly drifted to sleep "And thats how I'm here."

Throughout the whole speech, a small bell would ring out of nowhere every 5 words.

"Coincidence? I think NOT!"

Zeus looked at Percy with pity and I could see tears about to fall out from his eyes but he fought it back.

Ares stood up from his throne and did the most surprising thing a bloodthirsty god of war would do. He shrank to human size and patted my son's shoulder and comforted him.

"As much as I would love to kill you. It is not right for a great warrior like you to throw your life away because of such things like this." He removed his hand from his shoulder and hesitantly gave him a man hug. Our jaws dropped to the ground as we stared at him. He released Percy from the hug and returned to his throne looking at the male gods glaring at us as if saying 'speak of this, and I will personally make sure that you will never have a father's day again'

Hestia, who was sitting at the hearth the whole time listening intently to my son's story, spoke up "Percy, how would you like to be my champion?"

Percy's POV

"Percy, how would you like to be my champion?" Hestia asked me. I immediately answered with no hesitation.

"Yes. I would love to." Hestia smiled warmly as a small orange ball flew out of her hands and into my chest. For a while, I felt like I was on fire, there was this burning sensation in me that gave me warmth and comfort. Once the pain subsided, I looked at Hestia and smiled.

"Thank you." Hestia nodded her head as she turned towards Zeus having those 'mind conversations gods have. Zeus looked delighted and after awhile, Artemis looked horrified and angry at the same time.

"No. This is definitely not happening"  Artemis said out loud then went back to their mind conversation.

"Ugh fine. But you know what he has to do" Artemis gave a look at me, giving me the stink eye.

"Perseus. Artemis and I were discussing on what you can do as another purpose in life and we have agreed that you can be the Guardian of the hunt. You know what to do." Zeus said. I nodded.

"I, Perseus Jackson, swear upon River Styx and upon Chaos's name, will not flirt or do anything vile to the hunters or Artemis and protect them with my life."

"Son" Poseidon stuttered nervously, " you sh-should not ha-have sworn upon the-the Creator's na-name"

"Why?" I asked, being the Seaweed Brain I am. As for my answer, a black vortex appeared in the room. 'Oh' was my brilliant answer as a man dressed in black entered the room. When I turned around, I saw the gods trembling in fear, this must be a really powerful guy... must be Chaos.

"Perseus Jackson, eh? No one has sweared in my name before but since I have taken a special interest in you, I'll let live. And I have a special gift for you." He said as a black orb appeared out of his hand and into me. And let me say this, orbs that come from gods and go into your chest is excruciatingly painful.

Once the pain subsided, I looked down at myself and found myself in a black cloak, kind of like those Assassin Creed cloaks, there were two swords at the back of the cloak and I felt something weird at my back. As I turned over to look, I had WINGS. I mean wings like bird wings, two giant pitch black wings appeared from my back.

"Sweet"

"Oh oh oh me me me! I got one!" Yelled you know who

My eyes widened as I cautiously stepped back... "heh heh, I-I.... don't think that's necessary..." Aphrodite smiled like a madman or man lady as I should say and shot a pink light at me. I coughed at the strong smell of perfume and once the smoke subsided, I could see the goddesses adverting their eyes from me and Aphrodite had the look like she was going to pounce on me.

Zeus conjured a body mirror and I had an EIGHT PACK for gods' sake and my muscles were toned and defined. My height grew so now I was like what, 6'4?

"And how is this," as I gestured to my body, "help me live in a group of man-hating girls?"

"Alright. I think we should go..." Artemis said.

"Okay then let's go!" I yelled as I jumped out of Olympus through a window. You should have seen their faces, they looked absolutely terrified. As I fell down, I let instinct take over me as I spread out my wings and flew. 'Meet me at Central Park.' I heard Artemis speak in my mind. Oh well, time to meet the hunters.

Hey guys I'm back. So yeah. You know, I have this feeling that I have the whole plot ready but when I write it it's kinda weird and sucks a bit. So, sorry... I guess. Oh yeah and I'm not really a picture guy.
