Poseidon’s point of view
We were in Greece helping our demigod children defeat our giant banes. The last giant had just been defeated so we were now fighting the remaining monsters. Well everyone except for my son Percy, he was fighting Gaea herself. I was worried for him, sure he had defeated numerous monsters, a couple of gods and titans and giants. But Gaea was a primordial I really didn’t know if he would be able to defeat her. He had lifted her off the ground by summoning water from the ground, and he and Gaea were now standing on it.
It was clear that he was having a hard time, but as we watched he got past her guard and stabbed her in the chest, but before she went back to her forced slumber she got her revenge while Percy was distracted looking around to see if his friends were okay, or at least that’s what I assumed he was doing, Gaea swung her sword at him stabbing him in the chest as he had done to her.
Then she went back to her slumber defeated, but she had managed to strike a blow at us by possibly killing my son, the hero, who had brought us all together. As I hurried toward where he had fallen I saw that the daughter of Athena had gotten to him first. I heard her shout “Lord Apollo please help him!” Apollo hurried over and I arrived at my son’s side just before he did.
When I saw the wound in my son’s chest I feared that there would be nothing Apollo could do. And when he got there Apollo only confirmed my fears when he said: “I’m sorry there’s nothing I can do.” “Are you sure?” I asked him he said, “yes there’s nothing I can do he’s too close to death.” Hades nodded saying “he only has a few minutes left. The last people who we would expect to help did.
The fates, who were still here after they finished battling their bane Thoon said: “there is something you can do, he is a worthy hero.” After they spoke realization dawned on all of us well except for some of the demigods anyway. I glanced around at the rest of the council and Hades. We all nodded, we led the demigods back to their ship and sent them on their way back to Camp Half-Blood, the daughter of Athena and Percy’s closest friends were reluctant to go but we reassured them that we were going to save him and that they would see him again soon.
After the demigods were sent on their way Hades said: “He doesn’t have much time left.” Then Zeus said, “do we all agree that Perseus Jackson should be made immortal, and a minor god.” We all agreed even the ones that didn’t like Percy agreed with it, which was kind of surprising. I stood, I had been kneeling at my son’s side but I rejoined the rest of the council and we began to chant in ancient Greek.
Percy’s point of view
After Gaea stabbed me I knew it was over, no more battles we had won but I had lost. I was dying and I wouldn’t be able to be with Annabeth, or at least not until she dies. But I don’t want her to be upset over me for the rest of her life I would rather if she gets over me and moves on, maybe even find someone else I just want her to be happy and if that’s with someone else I can handle that.
It was at this moment when I felt her take my hand. I could hear her crying I wanted to apologize, tell her I loved her, tell her to move on from this not to stay upset over me but I just didn’t have the energy left. I heard her yell for Apollo but I knew he wouldn’t be able to do anything I was dying. Apollo told everyone there was nothing he could do and my father asked him desperately if he was sure. He said he was and Hades said that I didn’t have much time left.
I already knew that I could feel it, but then I heard the scratchy voices of the fates, I barely heard them say that I was a worthy hero and that there was a way to save me. I didn’t really know what they were talking about, and I didn’t have the energy to think about it. Annabeth reluctantly left my side and she left with the rest of the seven to head to camp half-blood to prevent the two camps from killing each other. After the rest of the seven were gone Zeus spoke he asked “Do we all agree that Perseus Jackson should be made immortal and a minor god?” after I barely heard this I would have had a look of shock on my face if it wasn’t for the fact that I was almost dead.
My father, who had been at my side since just before Apollo said I couldn’t be healed, stood and joined the other gods or at least that’s what I assumed he did since he let go of my hand and walked away. Shortly after this, the gods started chanting in ancient Greek.
I could only understand bits and pieces of what they said but shortly after they started chanting I felt my wound close and an excruciating pain like when I had bathed in the Styx. The pain continued, and strength returned to me but the pain was too much so I passed out cold, but thankfully I wasn’t dead just unconscious.
Poseidon’s point of view
I was pleased that we were able to save Percy; I just wasn’t sure what he would think of this when he wakes up. We took him to Olympus where we put him in one of the beds in Apollo’s infirmary. He would probably wake up soon and we would certainly find out his opinion. I knew that immortality would probably cause some problems with his relationship with the daughter of Athena.
I would have rathered him find someone other than the daughter of my rival, but I wanted what was best for him and I just wanted him to be happy. Since he was happy with her I hadn’t interfered. I get the feeling that half the reason why Athena agreed to this was that she hoped it could bring their relationship to an end since she had made it quite clear that she didn’t want them together, even if her daughter was happy with him.
The demigods had succeeded at bringing peace to the two camps, unfortunately, It had come at a price. Travis Stoll a son of Hermes had been killed by the legacy of Apollo who had been urging the Romans to fight. At least now that hostilities were over our two sides were no longer fighting for dominance. The legacy of Apollo would be punished for his crimes as would any who agreed with his beliefs. I knew that the demigods or camp half-blood at least would be waiting for any news about Percy since they would know of Percy’s near death. If they didn’t know they would learn of it soon from the remainder of the seven. We were waiting in the throne room for Percy to wake up, Apollo had just gone to check on him to find out if he had woken up or not, and tell him that he was now a minor god and his domains.
