《The Unknown》Chapter 9: The Jackson legacy

Advertisement

Theodore Blofis was the first-ever mortal professor at New Olympus University, his studies in literature and ancient Greek along with his history with the gods as a clears sighted brother of the greatest hero to ever live made him appropriate to teach demigods. He was 35 when Annabeth, as the dean of the college, came and asked him to come teach for them. It was only a year after that when he started his life project.

The 'Percy Jackson: Legacy' series was his work of compilations working side by side with all the immortal campers and the peaceful titan Mnemosyne. It took many months for him to complete the books; he had to travel around researching the truths of his travels. He worked with all of Percy's friends and had to compile the stories into a series. He was the first mortal to ever visit Calypso, who said she would never forget his brother for freeing her even if she never left. He was the first male to travel with the hunt to get their stories down.

Theo wrote about his brother's quests from his first monster, Mrs. Dodds, all the way to his final sacrifice and the return of the fallen heroes. His writings were wide-spread, published in Latin, ancient Greek and all major languages.

These stories are a true hot topic amongst demigods; all that knew him read to reminisce about their lost friend, while new demigods learn about the adventures of the greatest hero that ever lived and all of them wanted to be like him, well the smart ones were glad they weren't like him. He had suffered greatly in his short life and sacrificed much. He is the hero that threw the world into an abyss with a sword through his heart.

Annabeth and Luke, Silena and Beckendorf, Piper and Jason even Reyna and Leo all read this story to their children. He was a legend, the only hero to complete so much. Jason, even with his pride, concluded that with all Percy did it put his acts to shame.

Decades after his death Percy is still an influence on all that is done. Aeráki learned about him along with her 'brother' Theo when he was studying his brother so while she represents her father she always does what she thinks would make Percy proud. When they allow Theo to join them he offers his knowledge but unknown to them he has sometimes had a message delivered to him by Artemis from his brother.

Chiron continued to lead the camp with the immortals and was always happy with all the progress that they made but as all heroes filled the role as his children he lost one of his favorite sons for all of this. But Chiron refused to let this hurt him, from what was deduced from the campers and Hades, Percy gave his essence for them to continue like this and to live better. Chiron was happy for that.

The new councilor from the Poseidon cabin was a very cute little girl but when she gets angry she always does a little theatrics with water and rants on how they are supposed to get along and live better lives because of her brother's sacrifice. It usual ends with either guilty faces or nods of approval. Which is surprising after being yelled at by a 7 year old that only learned about her brother from the books Annabeth read to her and her father and siblings', Triton and Aeráki, stories and praise.

But the influence the books of Percy Jackson held an influence no other book had on the demigods, it was a bible to heroes.

Throughout his research of his books Theo fell in love; her eyes were a mesmerizing gray and her intelligence was unmatched. Even though it was an impossible romance he was in love with her and she with him. She was a maiden and he was pure mortal. It was a forbidden affair but neither would give it up for anything. After many months they both accepted their love and so they advanced their romance beyond any she had before.

It was 9 months later that Diane Blofis was born into this world, a daughter Athena and niece of Perseus Jackson.

After her natural birth Zeus was in a rage and nearly killed Theo but he was defended by most of the council, only Hephaestus, who was busy building something for the man, Dionysus, who was sleeping, Demeter, busy gardening to be at the meeting and Ares who was excited for action.

It was after much convincing from Theo to have all the other gods leave, beside the king and queen, him to discuss something with them. Only upon exiting the meeting with a great smile on his face that made Athena's heart flutter did Hephaestus show up handing the man a small black box.

He walked slowly to Athena before kneeling before her, providing her a blush and Aphrodite a squeal. His proposal was the biggest news on Olympus, Athena was now always seen with her ring prominently shown on her finger, a simple engraved band with a diamond in the shape of an owl that was a startling gray with a unmatched shine.

He was made immortal for her as her husband, and neither could be happier. Their daughter was made immortal by Athena, as she would not lose her first natural child.

Diane excelled in archery, swordsmanship and all academics. She was praised by all at camp and trained personally by Annabeth, Luke and Chiron in all of her lessons, they saw her as a new addition to the family; she was raised in New Olympus and Camp Olympus but also spent quite a bit of time on Olympus with her mother.

Her father never gave up his teaching but spent most of his time with either his daughter or wife. Theo was the one to always bring out Athena's softer side and also helped her in her research and thoughts about Olympus.

But neither of the parents were happy when the incompetent male population bothered their precious Diane. Her blue gray eyes and long brown hair attracted many young boys to her, but none met the standards her mother, father and many 'aunts' and 'uncles' taught her.

It was on her 14th birthday that she concluded that the entire male race was either incompetent or related to her. She eagerly decided to find the hunters and ask to join. Her 'aunts' Thalia and Bianca were with them and Diane was named in honor of Artemis for helping her grandmother in labor with her father.

It was 3 weeks later when Diane found the hunters; they were having a break from hunting in the Pacific Northwest, enjoying the fresh air and the docile animals.

Pistó was lying with Artemis resting on his back in the early evening, the fresh fire was crackling and her breath was relaxed. Pistó was at peace, his love was peaceful and his family was happily enjoying themselves in a game of dodge arrow, dodge ball but with dull arrows. But he heard the first leaf rustle before the rest, but he knew who was joining them and he was very happy of it, their was not a man worthy of her alive and there wont be one to his standards for a century or two but Pistó was happy if his niece would join the hunt so that she would be safe from any boys that wanted to hurt her, his years as a wolf have only furthered his developed protective issues and this was the newest member of his family.

They had met many times, Artemis and the hunt were at camp when she was delivered, Athena and his brother were so happy and Percy couldn't be more proud. And he could honestly say that she was the greatest niece that he could ever wish for, her pride is a little troublesome but overall she is a well-rounded, beautiful and intelligent young woman.

Stirring slightly from his seated position he disturbed Artemis who looked down at him questioningly, Pistó just nodded his head to the direction Diane was coming from. Artemis got up and looked to the forest when she heard the rustle, she looked down at Pistó who just stood up and walked in the direction the noise came from.

After about 2 minutes, Pistó walked back into the clearing with a small-framed girl with blue gray eyes stroking his side.

"Diane!" It was Thalia that first pounced on her in a backbreaking hug, followed by Bianca almost as quickly but with more grace. Artemis watched with a smile, Diane was the daughter of the boy she helped bring into this world. But most importantly, she was related to her Percy and was always a perfect little girl.

After about 15 minutes of greetings Diane approached Artemis, "Lady Artemis, I would like to join your hunt."

All the hunters beamed at her, she was always at came when they visited, her father was one of the rare men that was tolerated but was also smart enough to stay away from them. But they got to know him as a good man when he was doing research for his third book on his brother, all about his quest to save Lady Artemis. He was considerate and smart, and his mother taught him to respect women. But when they met Diane they fell in love with her, she was the perfect candidate for the hunters when she was 6.

Many of the hunters tutored her in archery and tracking, she enjoyed her time with them and even looked to them as a form of sisters and aunts whenever they were at camp. Diane's father encouraged her to join the hunters, something about not trusting boys and protecting his little angel. But Diane wanted to join them any way.

The swearing in of Diane was quick and exciting followed by a large celebration for their new sister. Artemis and Pistó resumed their later position though, Artemis smiling fondly at the hunters, Pistó lying contently with his happy family and love next to him.

Artemis woke in a familiar clearing that night; Percy was coming to her again. "Welcome my love." She spun around and found her Percy right behind her, dangerously close. He grabbed her by the hips and brought her to him, holding her tight against him.

Artemis leaned up and kissed him deeply, "Why do you always sneak up on me? It has been 50 years since you started coming to me and you always do it."

"I think of it as a way for me to have the upper hand, you can catch anything but I can catch you." He the leaned further to whisper in her ear, "And I like it when I can be close to you." His words in her ear and breath on her neck sent shivers down her spine.

Artemis felt vulnerable when she was in this position with him, at his will, and she loved that feeling but she needed to get even. Leaning up she whispered into his ear, "But remember that I can catch you too." This sent flashbacks to Percy of all the times she tackled him in this forest, he was letting her but it always ended heated kisses with her pushing him into the ground.

This went on with hours of flirting and kisses, but neither moved forward on that. Both were content for now with what they were doing. Artemis wanted to wait until he was alive, and he didn't want to make her uncomfortable. But it all ended with them lying on the grass looking up at the stars and moon, that is until Artemis noticed something, "Percy, which stars are these? I know I am dreaming but I have never seen these stars before."

Percy's face held his signature smile when he turned to her, "These are the stars that I want to see, always changing and always bright and beautiful to frame my favorite moon." He said this leaning towards her and kissing her softly. He brought a smile to her face with that and earned himself another passionate kiss.

"You have to go now my love, it is running late and you have slept in. My niece is about to come and get you. She will make you very proud, you are her aunt after all." Percy finished with a wink and a kiss on her forehead in which she felt herself waking up.

Artemis woke with a slight blush but easily hid it when Diane came in to fetch her for another hunt.

*Meanwhile in the center of the universe

"Lady Chaos!" A man in black armor with stars and nebulae roaming around, "There are disturbances everywhere. Xenn-tu, Flitius, Nochtic, and Retrai systems are all in wars amongst themselves. All of the forms of Gaia have disappeared. It appears that her original form is the only one left. "

A woman in her early thirties stood there with worried expression as she was looking out into the universe, "Theseus, there are too many disturbances to be a coincident, get to the bottom of this. And what news on your brother? Have you found his soul yet? Even if he went for rebirth we have to find him. We need him to end the war that is to come. I can feel it." Chaos' voice was ancient but it held a kindness only a mother could have.

"No, milady, his soul has disappeared and the souls he brought back are not tied to the underworld anymore, there is no way to take them back without them having a natural death or upon their own choice."

"You are dismissed Commander, keep searching. I can feel a disturbance coming and we need to be ready. Tell your Second that it is time for the advanced training on the recruits." Chaos' voice was authoritative but the commander could hear the worry in them, and he had never heard them in his thousands of years in service.

*Not too far away but still out of Chaos' view

"I will end this, sister. You thought I would give this all to you without a fight. Last time ended because of the idiot but now that I have all of his energy I will finally kill you." The man's voice was ancient but far more evil then Chaos'. Then the figure faded into the darkness around him.
