Percy had never asked to be a demigod. It was a fact that he had maintained ever since he'd made the discovery that he was a demigod all of those years ago. He'd been pursued for years by Prophecy after Prophecy, each one greater than the last. Now, Percy's biggest desire is peace; to be able to relax and have a chance to spend time with family and friends. Unfortunately, The Fates seem to have different plans. Again. First Published 2014, Completed 2015. Rewritten in 2020.

After using his blood-bending powers in a bout of rage in front of the demigods, Percy runs away in shame. Well, more like swims. With the help of Poseidon and some new powers of his own, Percy swims the distance from Long Island all the way to Gold Coast, Australia. There, he rebuilds his life with a fresh start, earning the trust of some fishy friends along the way. Unaware of his family's frantic searching, he tries to put his heroic life behind him. Unfortunately, the Fates have other plans for him. The rising of ancient deities continues, and so brings a new threat to the sealife surrounding all of Eastern Australia, including the mermaid pod of Mako Island. Percy must put his interests and feelings aside once again and work together with Mimi, Zac, and the mermaids to stop Australia from becoming the next Atlantis.
