The gods are powerless to stop the terror they unleashed upon the world. Now the world is up for grabs, will it end in the apocalypse or perhaps someone else has their own plans.

Pulled from their own perilous quests, a prophecy has thrown Heracles and young Perseus right into the middle of a war of immortals. Danger and death follow their every step as they try to do the impossible and defeat an enemy more powerful than the gods. Short Story from the Legend of Perseus series.

All families have secrets. Some are small, some are not. But in an immortal family, those secrets are eternal. Millennia come and go but some secrets never fade. Olympus' biggest secret was buried so deep none thought it could ever return. How wrong they were. Everything will change and none are safe. How it ends for the world... Only the Fates know.

Percy Jackson isn't a son of Poseidon. Hell, he isn't even a normal demigod. His father is Zeus, Lord of the Skies and King of Olympus. While that seems normal, (for a demigod) he is also the son of Jupiter. He is a child forbidden to even be alive. As a child of both Greece and Rome, Percy Jackson is not allowed at either camp. His father decides to take a chance at letting him live in the mortal world, away from the dangers he might encounter in the mythological world. He is raised by Zeus himself, in a way that doesn't go against the ancient laws. Zeus has his immortal son, Ares, train the boy from the moment he can stand. Now as the threat of Kronos rises, Percy must be the child of the Prophecy. Will this demigod be what it takes to destroy Kronos and his army or will they end him before he gets the chance?

Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs certainly feel quite accomplished after completing what they dub as the Marauder's Map. A map designed to show every classroom, hall, corridor, and even secret passageway of the Hogwarts Castle but also capable of identifying every person, ghost, and poltergeist roaming about. Or so they thought. It takes Elspeth Hayes casually strolling down the corridor one afternoon for the boys to realise that she's not showing up on the map and they want to figure out why. But Elspeth is not about to give away her secrets so easily, after all, a girl has to have her secrets to keep the boys on their toes.

[2] Diverging Paths: Perseus Jackson, also known as Percy, left his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry feeling happy and confident that he had actual friends. However, that was before they seemed to forget all about him. He at least had his brother, Harry Potter, but he too had gotten no letters from their friends. Then one day a small creature wearing a pillowcase showed up in their shared bedroom and told them that they absolutely, positively could not go back to school under any circumstance. Of course, the small creature wearing a pillowcase was resolutely ignored and they went back to school to start their second year anyway. Then things started to go wonky, what with all the strange voices and massive spiders. But then things got even stranger. Water seemed to bend to Percy's will and he kept feeling as if the forest was watching him. DISCLAIMER Note that I do not own anything that was created by J. K. Rowling or Rick Riordan.

Percy Jackson is not a son of Poseidon. He is not even Greek. He is the last of his people left on earth as he awaits his destiny. To reach it, grudges and prejudices must be forgotten and he must find acceptance in a world in which he does not belong. His power scares even the gods. With war approaching will they accept him or will they drive him to their enemy? AU.

The ancient world was a harsh and unforgiving place. Alone and without family, a child has almost no hope of survival. But the life of a demigod is almost always full of surprises. Unlikely friends and dangerous enemies often change destinies. With a little luck and the grace of the gods, what could have been ordinary can quickly become extraordinary.

[1] New Beginnings: WARNING!! Story is technically complete but I started editing literally years ago then never finished so the beginning's a little funky! Percy Jackson was adopted at the age of seven by the nastiest family in the world: the Dursleys. He met Harry Potter, the most wonderful person in the entire universe, that same day. Though completely unrelated, the boys were nearly identical, a connection forming between them that would last years to come. The pair would go through life as brothers in everything but blood. Connected at the hip, these seemingly average boys had much more in store for them than they could ever imagine. A note: Percy Jackson doesn't discover anything about the demigod side of his universe until later in the second book. Just a warning. If that's too slow for you, don't read.
