[ a percy jackson story ⸝⸝ ]
𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 ━━━
maxine fairchild had always been called special, but the word felt more like a burden than a gift, resting on her like a storm waiting to break. she carried independence and quiet power in the set of her shoulders, believing for years that hermes was her father, offering him the loyalty and prayers of a devoted daughter. yet his silence stretched on, and loneliness filled the spaces where answers should have been, until small signs and careful whispers revealed the truth-that the story of her birth had been shaped by gods who feared what she was. hidden behind divine vows and half-truths, maxine slowly realized her life was tied to the will of olympus, and that some destinies were not chosen, only endured.
then there's percy jackson, son of poseidon, who throws himself toward danger like the tide rushing to shore. where maxine braces for the storm, he dives straight into it; where she hides the weight of destiny, he shares the burden without thinking twice. at first, they collide-her lightning against his waves, her guarded heart against his open loyalty-but over time they find a strange balance, like thunder rolling over the sea. together, they're louder, stronger, harder to knock down.
still, the world around them is full of prophecy, monsters, and gods who make choices for them. the ocean can churn just as fiercely as the sky can split, and caring about someone in their world is always a risk. the question isn't whether storms or tides are stronger, but whether two kids carrying the will of the gods can stand side by side when both sky and sea demand everything from them.
