"To thank you for your service to us," Zeus started, "We will be giving you the greatest gift of them all: immortality."
Percy took in a sharp intake of breath. He didn't want immortality. He didn't want eternal life. He wanted to die in peace of old age or something. He wanted to die. Sure, maybe that day wasn't today, but he would've never imagined himself stuck in a situation where he was being forced to become immortal. He didn't want this.
But the gods didn't care what he wanted.
"No thank-" Percy started.
Zeus cut him off. "This is not a choice. You will accept this gift with no arguments or struggle. Do you understand?"
Percy narrowed his eyes at the god. Oh, how he wished to wipe that... face off of Zeus's head. Or even the head off his body.
"Do you understand?" Zeus asked again, louder this time.
Percy scowled in response to the gods question. Next to him, Annabeth nodded numbly.
"Good," the king of the gods said. "Leo Valdez, please step forward."
Percy watched numbly as the son of Hephaestus walked towards Zeus.
Hephaestus walked towards his son, placing his hands on Leo's shoulders. "From now on, my son, Leo Valdez, is the minor god of fire and chicken nuggets."
Leo glowed a bright orange-red, which briefly made Percy think of Mt. Saint Helens. After the light faded, Leo stood there, looking no different than before. Except for the fading look of pain spread across his features.
Leo stepped back.
"Frank Zhang, please step forward."
Frank moved closer to the king of the gods.
Mars walked towards Frank, putting his hands on the legacy of Poseidon's shoulders like Hephaestus had done to Leo. "From now on, you, my son, Frank Zhang, are the minor god of change, lactose intolerance, and Timmy Horton's."
Frank glowed a dark red color. As the light faded, Frank stood there, looking at the ground.
He silently walked back over to Hazel.
"Annabeth Chase, please step forward."
Athena put her hands on Annabeth's shoulders. "My daughter, Annabeth Chase, is now the minor goddess of senseless fighting, #2 pencils, and books."
Percy bit his tongue to keep from laughing. About a week after they'd escaped Tartarus, 5 days after they'd broken up, Percy had found an overwhelming supply of #2 pencils in her room.
(Though most people might be sad at the breakup, Percy had seen it coming. Even before Tartarus, he'd noticed her sneaking longing glances to a certain daughter of Aphrodite every once and a while.)
Annabeth glowed a light grey-blue color.
She walked back over to her spot next to Percy.
"Jason Grace, please step forward."
There seemed to be no order in which they were choosing who to change.
Zeus became Jupiter. He put his hands on Jason's shoulders. "From this day forth, you, Jason Grace, shall be the god of thunder and staplers."
Percy silently wondered what his weird domain would be. All the others got one.
Jason glowed a striking blue color that looked like it came straight out of I Am Number Four (the movie, not the book. Percy had never read the book).
