《Perseus Jackson: A New Order》I become a Roman...again
Advertisement
Today, Anna was away in school and I was feeling exceptionally bored. I decided to visit Poseidon and see how things are working out for him.
I was now a few miles out in the sea with no idea where I was supposed to go. Fortunately, a large hippocampus swam towards me and nudged me. "Hop on, Lord," it said. I smiled and got on.
I then spotted a rainbow like design on his flank.
"Long time no see, Rainbow," I greeted. He neighed in response, before flipping into the ocean. We flew past corral reefs and other massive sea creatures in minutes. I had never gone out so deep into the sea.
After a few moments, the city on Atlantis, appeared, with a sea green and blue aura around it, signalling the presence of Poseidon.
We swam past the open gates and appeared at the palace of Poseidon. I walked through the open doors and emerged into the throne room. It still had the crack made by Oceanus in the centre, that amused me. I walked towards the thrones, when I was crushed all of a sudden by a huge mass of peanut butter smelling General of the Cyclops army that was weeping on my shoulder.
"What's going on big guy," I said, patting his back.
"Percy's back!" Tyson exclaimed and spun me around in a circle, further crushing me and causing a few ligaments and muscles to pop.
There was a flash of gold and the two of us were hugged yet again by an emotional god of the seas. "It's good to see you again Percy," Poseidon said, sniffling. "You made me proud by wiping that smirk off Athena's face." He said, chuckling slightly.
"It's good to see you again," I said smiling at the fact that my ex-father was back to his happy nature. I didn't feel like holding any grudges and for my sake, I forgave him. I didn't want to become cruel and bitter like Kronos.
I untangled myself from the two and turned to face the prince of Atlantis with a neutral look and the queen of Atlantis, who looked slightly ticked off.
"Lady Amphridite, Triton," I greeted.
My father looked mildly surprised. "I never thought of you as one who shows respect to those who loath him," Poseidon said, surprised.

"At least one of your spawns know how to show some respect," Amphridite scoffed, while Triton smirked. The two nodded to me, before swimming away.
"I see you made up with them," I said to Poseidon.
He replied with a shrug. "I made many mistakes after becoming prideful like my brother. Turns out, the sea is best on its own without any exterior praise or influence." I nodded and patted his back.
"I have a gift for you," Poseidon said, all of a sudden. "Tyson, show him."
Tyson beamed and raced off outside the palace and reappeared, holding out a familiar pen.
"It was wrong of me to take it away from you," Poseidon said. "After all, this weapon doesn't even belong to me. The only way I had control of it was because it belonged to the sea." He said, holding out the pen to me.
It looked like the same old ball point pen but had a little bit silver on it as well. I uncapped it and I grew into the familiar bronze sword that I grew up using, but it had one half made out of silver, while the other was made of celestial bronze. The hilt also had an imperial gold spear head, good for pummeling enemies on the head. I looked at Poseion and Tyson in awe.
"Tyson reforged it," my dad said.
"Yes," Tyson said, jumping. "I hit daddy on the head with my stick when he supported the bad people in Olympus."
Poseidon visibly flinched and touched a slight depression on his skull.
I smirked and grabbed the two and brought them into another hug. "Thanks guys," I mumbled.
"Percy, Pontus contacted me the other day," Poseidon said, looking at me with worry. "He told me about the threat and advised that it was the best if you stayed with someone who can keep an eye on you."
"What do you think," I asked him, trying not to explode.
"I think," he said carefully, "that it would be for the best if you stayed on either Olympus or down here."
I raised an eyebrow at that. "No thank you. I can't stay within a mile of Mr. Lightning Rod."
My father laughed at that. "What about down here?" He asked. I shook my head. "No, I don't belong here and I don't think Amphridite and Triton would be too happy about it."

He grimaced and nodded gravely. "What do you suggest?" He asked.
"Camp half-blood," a voice boomed from the depths of the ocean.
"No way!" I retorted. "Don't make me call mother here, uncle Pontus," I yelled back into the depths.
"She's the one who suggested it," the voice said, chuckling.
"What about Camp Jupiter?" I questioned. There was a pause before he replied, "That's fine."
My father then nodded towards me. "They cannot know of your true identity, Percy. I will contact Lupa and ask her to introduce you as a son of mine," he said, turning into his Roman half, Neptune. "I shall change your appearance," he said, before waving his hand over my face. As he did this, I felt my hair grow shorter and my jaw crack slightly, along with me cheek bones. I also felt myself grow a little shorter, from 6'1" to 5'8". He flashed in a mirror and I looked at my reflection.
I looked a lot like my previous self, but I had shorter hair and a stronger jaw. My eyes were now back to sea green and had lost their black void. "What's my age," I asked Neptune. "It's the same, 17 years and one month," he replied.
"What about Anna?" I asked. He stroked his beard for a few seconds before his eyes brightened. "We could make her a hunter," he suggested.
I nodded. "I'll ask her." He nodded, before patting Tyson on the back, causing him to hug me again and smiled again.
"I'll come to camp," he said. I nodded towards and him and I felt a hand on my shoulder, and my world turned black and I arrived in my apartment, just as the door opened, leaving a puzzled looking Anna.
"Who's he?" She asked, pointing towards Neptune.
"My dad," I replied.
"Nice to meet you Percy's dad," Anna greeted.
Neptune turned back into Poseidon and smiled sweetly at her.
"Look Anna, there's a bad God out there that's looking for me. I need to go to camp Jupiter to make sure he doesn't kill me," I explained to her. "For that you need to go to camp half-blood," I said.
"No, I'll go to mommy's hunt," she replied. I had told her what had happened to me and she seemed to hate camp.
"Very well," Poseidon said, pulling out his trident and breaking the tile in my living room. This was followed by a flash of silver and a slightly annoyed goddess of the hunt.
"What do you want?" She asked, looking at Poseidon.
"Anna wishes to join the hunt," I replied.
She looked at the two of us and her expression softened. "Very well Anna," she said.
Anna then opened her mouth and recited what I told her earlier. "I, Anna Flyer, daughter of Zeus, hereby pledge myself to the goddess Artemis, turn my back on the company of men, except Percy, accept eternal maidenhood and join the hunt."
Artemis raised an eyebrow at the Percy part but accepted nevertheless. My father then held my shoulder and teleported us to the familiar surroundings of the wolf house.
We were soon surrounded by wolves, who all bowed before my father.
Lupa, the wolf goddess then walked towards us and stood before me. I held my head high and looked into her eyes, unblinkingly, just as I had been taught by her.
"This pup already belongs to Rome," she said, looking at my father. She then walked towards me. "Show me your left hand, pup," she said. I did so.
It was the same hand that I had my Roman tattoos on, but they had vanished when I had been adopted by Nyx. Lupa then licked my hand and the tattoos reappeared, along with the searing pain. She then spoke in my head once again. "You will tell the Romans that you were recruited into the legion by me and that you had received your training from Lord Neptune."
I nodded and looked at my father. "Good luck Percy," he said and flashed away. I could still look at the true form of a god, which I was grateful for.
I nodded towards Lupa and started my journey towards camp Jupiter, for the second time in the last year.
