Riptide

Chapter 1

Percy P.O.V.

Anger. Unfiltered anger. That all I felt surging through me when I first came to this new planet.

Mabey I should explain, earlier on Olympus:

"Cursed" said Hecate, goddess of magic.

Percy felt like his body was being demolished bit by bit; it feels like chimera venom and an injection of Styx water at the same time, in Percy's opinion it sucks in the major league.

"Impossible," claimed Poseidon "the residual power I feel on my son is of the Earth, and the Earth mother was vanquished by Leo Valdez, she could not have cast a curse this powerful"

"She did, mere moments before the son of Hephaestus destroyed her" Hecate answered.

"Then wouldn't it have affected my son?" inquired the god of the forge.

"Not necessarily." answered Athena "It was Perseus' blood that awoke the Earth mother, which means she has a direct connection to him through her core."

"But then- You're daughter!" exclaimed Poseidon "We need to protect her, I will not let my son suffer the knowledge that he will leave his beloved unguarded and under the curse."

"The spell was cast with great power, but not enough to affect two demigods." said Hecate.

"Thank gods." said a very weak voice.

Everyone turned to look towards the source, the mighty hero of Olympus surrounded by a transparent ball of fire, Hestia's fire, the only thing keeping him intact despite Gaea's curse.

"My son..." Poseidon could no longer keep his emotions. The seas raged, hurricanes roared, the earth trembled. The god of the sea is grieving his soon to be lost son.

"There must be something we can do right? Anything?" Annabeth pleaded.

Sorry Annabeth, there is nothing we can do" Athena said with a sad voice. Annabeth looked crestfallen. She then hugged me tightly with tears going down her cheeks. I am going to die, and to make it worse, I don't know where I'm heading. I knew my happy ending was too good to be true.

After a few minute of silence, and me consoling Annabeth I heard Hades murmur "All though..." Annabeth and I look up immediately and stared at him in hope.

"Hades" Zeus said, as if he was warning him.

"What it would be perfect. He will have a new connection, and survive." Hades said ignoring Zeus.

"It is forbidden, and never been tested. He might die a more painful death." Zeus countered.

"We won't transport his body, but only his mind." Athena spoke up. "Wasn't there a body with no mind present over there? It would be perfect."

"Please brother consider this" my father pleaded. Zeus became silent contemplating what to do. We have no idea what they were talking about.

"What are you guys talking about? Do you have a suggestion to save Percy"? Annabeth spoke up with hope.

"We can make a new connection on another earth" my father explained.

"Another earth?" I asked.

"Yes" Athena said. "The universe we live is not be the only one out there. In fact, our universe is just one of an infinite number of universes making up a "multiverse."
