Son of Atlas

Chapter 1

-Prologue-

It was a starry night in the Garden of the Hesperides. The dragon, Ladon, was asleep and their father was still stuck under the weight of the sky. But in the forest nearby, a boy was stalking towards a girl that was tending to a fire. A black quiver of sharpened arrows and a black longbow could be seen slung across his back. On his waist were two bronze hunting knives, ready to be used at a moment's notice.

The boy slowly walked into the clearing that the girl resided in. She had raven black hair, onyx eyes and coppery skin. He walked behind her until her back was only inches away from him.

As he attempted to tackle her to the ground, the girl moved to the left and held her foot in front of his legs, tripping him. The boy fell on his face and groaned when he realized he was caught.

The girl he was trying to tackle walked in front of him. "You know that won't work on me twice Percy."

The newly christened Perseus stirred and slowly looked up to the girl. "But you know I love pranking my favorite sister whenever I can Zoe."

Said sister rolled her eyes at her brother's antics and helped him up. "I'm your only younger sister Percy."

Perseus grinned cheekily at his sister. "Doesn't mean you're not my favorite though, Zo-zo."

Zoe mock-glared at Percy but the smile that broke out on her face betrayed her. "And you better not forget that Percy!"

Perseus just smiled at her and he lied down on the ground staring at the stars. Zoe lied down with him and she snuggled next to him.

There was an air of silence around the two, but Zoe broke it first. "Percy?"

Perseus broke his gaze from the stars and looked quizzically at Zoe. "Yeah Zo-zo?"

Zoe nervously bit her lip and she glanced at Perseus. "Percy, do you hate me?"

Perseus was surprised by the question, he shook his head as he sat up. "Never, sis. I'll always be there for you."

Zoe sat up as well and smiled at him. "Promise?"

Perseus smiled back at her and he hugged her. "Promise."
