A New Path of Life

Chapter 1: The Hero of Olympus Made a Decision

A/N: This is my third story. First chappie: will be excerpt from the chap where Percy is offered immortality. I will cut out a huge chunk of it, and add a short part that I will add for my story to make sense later on. WILL NOT HAVE PERCY AND CALYPSO (only a pint from Calypso's point of view). PERCABETH IS INTENDED INSTEAD.

This story might have a lot of grammar mistakes, so I am currently looking for a Beta Reader. If you want to... PM me. Look at my stories, leave a review saying BETAREADING, MAYBE? and I'll know. This fanfic is different from my Mark of Athena and the other one.

DISCLAIMER: IF YOU LOOKED AT MY PROFILE, I AM A GIRL. Therefore, I don't think Rick Riordan is a he-she, don't you think? Does he have lengthy hair? Does he talk like a, well, girl? Exactly. So, I do not and will not, own any associated books from Rick. Thanks.

Mount Olympus-Minutes after the Second Titan War ended

Percy, First person POV

/Flash/back/

"No?" Zeus said. "You are… turning down our generous gift?"

The gods were glaring at me, but Annabeth's eyes were shining.

"I do want a gift, though," I said. "Do you promise to grant my wish?"

Zeus thought about this. "If it is within our power."

"It is," I said. "And it's not even difficult. But I need your promise on the River Styx." (Skip few sentences about Dionysus exclaiming why Percy doesn't trust them)

"Very well!" Zeus growled. "In the name of the council, we swear by the River Styx to grant your reasonable request as long as it is within our power.

The other gods muttered assent. Thunder boomed, shaking the throne room. The deal was made.

"From now on, I want you to properly recognize the children of the gods," I said. "All the children… of all the gods.

The Olympians shifted uncomfortably.

"Kronos couldn't have risen if it hadn't been for a lot of demigods who felt abandoned by their parents," I said.

"They felt angry, resentful, and unloved, and they had a good reason."

Zeus's royal nostril flared. "YOU DARE ACCUSE-"

"No more undetermined children," I said. "I want you to promise to claim your children—all your demigod children—by the time they turn thirteen. They won't be left out in the world on their own at the mercy of monsters. I want them claimed and brought to camp so they can be trained right, and survive."

"Now, wait just a moment," Apollo said, but I was on a roll.

"And the minor gods," I said. "Nemesis, Hecate, Morpheus, Janus, Hebe-—they all deserve a general amnesty and a place at Camp Half-Blood. Their children shouldn't be ignored. Calypso and the other peaceful Titan-kind should be pardoned too. And Hades—"

"Are you calling me a minor god?" Hades bellowed.

"No, my lord," I said quickly. "But your children should not be left out. They should have a cabin at camp. Nico has proven that. No unclaimed demigods will be crammed into the Hermes cabin anymore, wondering who their parents are. They'll have their own cabins, for all the gods. And no more pact of the Big Three. That didn't work anyway. You've got to stop trying to get rid of powerful demigods. We're going to train them and accept them instead. All children of the gods will be welcome and treated with respect. That is my wish."

Zeus snorted. "Is that all?"

"Percy," Poseidon said, "you ask much. You presume much."

"I hold you to your oath," I said. "All of you."

I got a lot of steely looks. Strangely, it was Athena who spoke up: "The boy is correct. We have been unwise to ignore our children. It proved a strategic weakness in this war and almost caused our destruction. Percy Jackson, I have had my doubts about you, but perhaps"—she glanced at Annabeth, and then spoke as if the words had a sour taste—"perhaps I was mistaken. I move that we accept the boy's plan."

"Humph," Zeus said. "Being told what to do by a mere child. But I suppose . . ."

"All in favor," Hermes said.

All the gods raised their hands.

Present time- No where in particular

Now, because of Percy, peaceful Titan kinds will be pardoned. More Olympian cabins, and guess what? The Hermes cabin at Camp Half Blood has fewer people. No more pacts of Big Three. Everyone is welcomed and treated with respect. There has to be a Hades cabin present. Because of that sixteen year old boy, the Greek mythology world had changed much.

The cruel Fates had given her because helped the Titans in the first war. Now...

Percy pardoned the beautiful girl that he met and stayed with on Oygyia for two weeks after the unfortunate event at Mount Helens.

Calypso.
