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.

Instead of a somewhat happy childhood with his mother, Percy is orphaned and on the streets by the age of ten. Found and taken in by the most unlikely of gods, Percy is raised to be the greatest demigod to ever live. His past has left him bitter towards all but a few. Will he still be ready to accept his destiny? AU of Percy's life. (This is already posted with permission but I wanna post it so I can also put the second and third books on this site.)

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.
