I'm not Alone

Chapter 3

"Eidos! Hey!" She waved her hands around, "Pay attention, will you?" Demilin groaned, tired of Eidos's short attention span.
"Sorry, what were you saying?" Eidos shook his head like a wet dog, trying to clear off wandering thoughts. Demilin just groaned again, mumbling under her breath.
"Didn't catch that, Demi." Eidos teased, using his nickname for Demilin. Honestly, Demilin liked having a nickname, it made her feel special, it made her feel wanted, though she would never admit it to him.

"I said that you're almost done with your training..." For the past few months, Eidos had trained with Demi to learn the basics of how to survive different planets and to become a better fighter. Eidos was very skilled in battle, but she taught him a different style altogether. He was stronger, more agile and more swift. He had even bested Demilin, who had thousands of years of knowledge and experience. Honestly, she thought, he was one of the best fighters in the universe.

"Yes! Finally!" Eidos exclaimed and sat down in the rickety stool in his 'oh so warm hut'. The only thing worth mentioning was the tiny bed that didn't fit his height, and a 3 legged stool which creaked every time he sat on it.

"I suggest that you go to Genyl. It will be a good experience for you. But before you leave, some gods have requested to see you." Demilin said.
"Who?" Eidos said, wary. Without thought he had taken his fighting stance. Relaxed, but ready to move at the tiniest of threat.

"Hestia, Hades, and Hermes." Was all she said and left, not asking his permission because she knew he trusted them. It was the lack of tension in his shoulders that told her so. She was a keen observer, but he was still better, noticing how she avoided the gods. He was confused but was sure that she had her reason so he kept silent.

All the gods entered the small hut, but stopped in their tracks when they saw Percy. He had changed, and for the better. His eyes were no longer a dull green; they were his original playful sea-green color like waves dancing in the sun. He was more tanned, taller and more muscular than they remembered. The most surprising thing was his aura. It was beautiful. It radiated love, warmth, compassion and mainly kindness and power. They were surprised by the amount of power he radiated. He had always radiated kindness, warmth and compassion but they had just noticed the amount of power he held. Reading auras was a developed habit, but it told much about a person. It was a secret among the gods, but unknowing to them, it was a secret no longer.

"Hello Aunt, Uncle, Cousin. What can I do for you? And how did you find me?" asked Percy in his melodious voice. For a few minutes no one answered, taken aback by the difference. Once they had gotten over their shock, Hestia spoke, "Dear, we have come to say goodbye. And it was Demilin who contacted us."

"Well then, what a nice surprise." He clapped his hands together and smiled, encouraging the immortals gathered to do the same, even Hades who only quirked his mouth, amused.
"If I may, what has happened to the council and camp? Are they still after my blood?"
This time it was Hermes who answered, "To be honest, things haven't changed much. Zeus and Athena are still after you and so is Artemis, she is angry because she hasn't caught you yet, it a jab to her 'Huntress' title." He sniggered. "Hera, Demeter, Ares, Aphrodite, Apollo and Dionysus are neutral but can be forced by Zeus and Athena. Camp has become a dictatorship. Wisdoms spawn and that Duke run it with an iron fist. Only Nico is the one who believes you." He said, looking at Hades who had a glint of pride in his eyes.

"Does anyone else know where I am?" asked Percy.
"Not that we know of." Said Hermes. Changing the course of the conversation he asked, "So Percy, how's life?"
"Nice." Was all he said, not wishing wanted them to know that he had taken a new name. He wanted to leave Percy on earth, and start being Eidos on Genyl. He wanted to start a new life.

"I would like to give you my blessing, Percy, before you go. Do you accept?" Hermes said suddenly, startling him.
"Yes, my lord, by all means." 
Immediately after his words left his mouth, a green beam hit him. He felt even more powerful than before. And knowledgeable. 
"I have enhanced some of your abilities such as speed, agility, stealth. You also can speak any language fluently."
"Thank you lord Hermes" Percy bowed low, overcome with gratitude.

"We would also like to give you our blessing, Percy." Said Hestia, referring to Hades and her.
"By all means." He said and waited, this time bracing himself.
He was shot with a black and orange beam. He felt the power coursing through him. His eyes were now a bright sea-green, with specks of black and orange and a hint of dark green in them. All the present gods gasped at the beauty of his eyes.

But Percy was oblivious to this change in his body. He felt weird, too powerful. He had a suspicion, though. He slowly took one of his knives out and cut himself. It was not red blood that poured out. It was golden.
