Percy Jackson and the Adventures of A Sister

17. Together

Percy scanned the area he was in after he got over his elation. He soon deduced he was in his domain  Alaska. The land beyond every god but him. He grinned as he felt his energy return to normal levels. A thought struck him. Alaska was his domain. If he was able to teleport with water, fire and lightning why not with snow. He imagined himself turning into snow and he felt himself turning into the fluffy white powder. He shot toward Olympus. He saw the landscape along the way. He decided that once he finished all the wars and officially became the trainer of heroes, he would make his home in Alaska. He knew the gods would be worried.

If his estimate as the god of time was right he would have gone missing about a month and a few days ago. He reformed in the streets of Olympus. He decided to make a dramatic entrance to hopefully scare the hell out of the gods. He pulled out a piece of Adamantine and fashioned it into the shape of a scythe blade, and then fixed a wooden handle to it. He fire-traveled to the throne room doors. With a snap of his fingers he was dressed in armor that was not his. He then changed his appearance to match Kronos. He then proceeded to barge into the throne room scythe blazing.

He then ran towards the gods. The gods stood up and pointed their weapons toward him. "Who are..." Zeus seemed to recognize his appearance. "Father. How?" He said horror showing on his face. 'Kronos' also known as Percy smirked. "Well well well, did you think a puny demigod would be able to kill me? I was almost at my true form when I was killed. It was annoying to get out of Tartarus but I managed. Now who wants to die first?" He said. All the gods charged at him. Being in his domain had re energized Percy. He fought back andenjoyed the little battle.

Zeus hurled his master bolt. Percy merely slowed down time and smashed his scythe into the bolt sending it flying towards Hestia. She leapt out of the way in the nick of time. The bolt hit Hades who was standing behind his older sister. One by one everyone was knocked out and trapped. At last only Hestia stood. She fought like a whirlwind. Percy knew the way Kronos fought very well. He changed his style to match that of the titan king. Percy did not use his powers. He defended and fought back against Hestia. At last he managed to knock her down and put the scythe to her chest point first. Hestia glared at him. "What are you waiting for. Finish it." She said.

A mischievous smile appeared on Percy's face. In a flash his scythe and armor vanished. His appearance changed to his normal appearance. "You have been pranked." He said grinning. The gods who were trapped had their jaws hanging. Hestia stood up. She flung herself towards her son. She hugged him tightly. He was quickly turning pale, well paler than he already was. "Mom. Air." He choked out. Hestia quickly released him. "Do you have any idea how worried we were?" She shouted. "I'll give you a hint about where I was. The place had red skies, sulphuric air, glass shards on the ground, and immortal baddies." "You were stuck in Tartarus we know." She said. Percy's eyes darkened. "Yes. How you know I have no idea." He replied moodily.

Hestia put her hand to her mouth to choke back a sob. "How did you get there? What happened?" She said. "Captured by Hyperion. Killed him after I broke out of the prison I was kept in. Apparently they did not think I would be able to get out, as I was not kept in the top security prison of the pit." He said. Percy recounted his time in the pit. Apollo cut in. "As much as I like reunions could someone untie me?" He said. Percy snapped his fingers. Everyone but Apollo was untied and gently set down. The god of the sun did not get the luxury of being set down gently. He fell face first onto the marble floor.

Ignoring the sun god, the gods filled Percy in on the events that had transpired on the surface. Percy smiled when he found out about the new ships. When he found out why they were built in the first place he groaned and introduced his palm to his face. "Tell the camps and the ships the news. Don't withdraw the ships. They will be very useful for large scale transport and searching for enemy bases. The Photons are built to work as fast maneuverable spy planes." He said. "Will do" Said Hermes. Soon the gods began leaving the throne room until only Hestia and Poseidon remained.

Hestia walked to her son and hugged him. She stepped back and gave him a mischievous smile. "Well Son I have been watching you before you disappeared, should I know about anything between you and miss Nightshade?" She said. Percy's face looked like one of Hera's golden apples. "No!" He shouted. Hestia sighed. "The ichor in your face says otherwise. We are your parents son. You can tell us anything." She said. Percy slumped in defeat. "Yes fine. I like her. I didn't want to ruin our friendship so I did not say anything." He admitted.

Poseidon smiled. "Telling her won't ruin anything. If she doesn't like you back, things would be awkward for a while but things would go to normal." He said. "We should know." Hestia added. Percy looked confused. "Wait... what do you... Oh right dad asked you out a few millennia ago." He said. Poseidon glared at him, though it wasn't scary thanks to the childish look on his face. Percy smiled. "Thanks."

He vapor traveled to the bridge of the Liberty. Zoë was the only one in the room. Her eyes were red and puffy. She did not even notice him coming in noisily. Concern washed over Percy. "Zoë. It's me, Percy." He said. Zoë stood up very fast and whirled around to see him. She lunged forward and punched him. She then hugged him and sobbed into his shoulder. Percy comforted her. Zoë calmed down after a few minutes. The two sat silently thoughts swirling around like glass shards in a tornado. After some time the silence was broken. "I have something to tell thee." Said Percy and Zoë at the same time. "You first." Percy said. "No, thou must go first." Zoë shot back. "You fi..." Percy was cut off by Zoë. "I love you." She blurted. Percy's eyes widened. He sat frozen in shock. Zoë stood up. Percy unfroze. "I was about to tell you the same thing!" He said surprised. A smile slowly made its way to Zoë's face. "Thou art really a kelp head." She said. Percy smiled. They spent happily for some time forgetting the looming war.
