Part One: A Change of Fate

September 1994; Throne Room, Atlantis

The sea-god watched silently through the one-way iris message as one Sally Jackson hummed a lullaby to the one-year-old boy snuggled in her arms. The boy-his son-had the same messy raven hair and vibrant green eyes that mirrored the sea as himself and Poseidon smiled at the resemblance. But the smile was soon replaced by a grimace as Poseidon what his son's life would be like.

He knew that a demigod's life was hard enough as it is but being a son of Poseidon and very possibly the child of the Great Prophecy would definitely make it even worse for Percy. If only he could hide his son under the sea and protect him from the dangers of the world. But it couldn't be. He knew young Perseus had many hardships in his future but he needed to overcome them himself.

"He is an adorable child." Came a familiar voice, breaking him out of his revere. Poseidon turned around only to come face-to-face with his wife-Amphitrite, who was gazing at the sleeping baby over his shoulder. Poseidon didn't know how to respond to that but it seemed he didn't need to as a moment later his wife continued on.

"Do you still love her." The question left him dumbfounded and shocked into a stunned silence. The shock on her husbands face and his lack of response was answer enough for the goddess and she sighed sadly. "I figured as much."

"Amphitrite I..." The sea-god started unsure of what he was supposed to say. He had apologized a million times for hurting her yet he had yet to get a response from his wife.

"I forgive you my lord." Amphitrite said looking up at him. "I am not saying that I am fine with your cheating or that your actions didn't hurt me for they did. But I am saying that I can look past it this once and forgive you."

"Thank you Amphitrite I am truly grateful. But tell me what is it that you're planning?" The sea-god's question didn't seem to faze the goddess much or if it did she did a great job at hiding it. Yet Poseidon knew he was right, he knew that Amphitrite had a hidden motive behind her act of forgiveness. A small smile formed on her face as she spoke on.

"We both know full well that the odds are, Perseus is the child of the Prophecy. This child could either save us all or be the very reason of our downfall depending on how we play our cards. I have been thinking about this for a while now Poseidon and I believe you should go see your child. The ancient laws forbid you from raising your son here in Atlantis or interfering in his quests but that doesn't mean you cannot be his father. So go Poseidon, be with your son and give him a reason to fight for us."

Percy's Room, New York

A cool sea breeze woke Sally Jackson from her sleep and she looked around as she realized she had fallen asleep in her son's room. It was then that she saw the tall, dark-haired figure looming over her son's sleeping form. She stood up and approached the god tentatively. She didn't know what was going on but she hoped to find out.

"Poseidon what are you doing here?" She asked as the beautiful sea-green eyes that she had grown so very familiar to her looked down at her. She watched curiously as the god gazed happily down at the peacefully sleeping baby.

"I am here for Perseus, Sally. He is after all, my only demigod son."

"But-the laws-I though gods couldn't raise their demigod children." Sally murmured in confusion.
