Alexander Jackson; the Great

A Prophesy and a Family Matter

Our mission was successful and we won, but afterwards everyone looked at me like they did on the streets; an unexplainable outcast.
We sat down in the Amphitheatre around a bonfire. And I was called to the front to discuss my issue. Being claimed by two gods is cause for concern, because technically it makes me a minor god. A few people suggested that I was a god disguised as a boy, and that I cheated the Romans. Others said that my first godly claim must have been wrong. Some guy standing at the back named Octavian quizzed me about my life.
“What are your parents names?” he asked
“My father’s is Robert Percy Jackson and my mother’s is Zoe Callie Jackson.”
“Mother’s maiden name?”
“Valdez.” This made a few people gasp. They turned to a guy at the front, next to Percy, who had scrawny dark hair and was covered in soot and grease, and then they turned to Percy, Percy Jackson. Turns out the guy covered in grease was Leo Valdez, and Percy’s last name was in fact, Jackson – same a mine.
Ping. Another memory falls into place, and it happens to be what Octavian asks next.
“What are your grandparents names?”
What I say next will definitely cause a stir. Maybe I will even be accused of lying…
“Percy Jackson, Annabeth Jackson, Leo Valdez and Callie Valdez.”

Absolute chaos. People chatting and giggling and gasping all around us. And I am sent to sit down next to my ‘grandparents’. Chiron contains them back to a small chatter here and there, but everyone falls silent when a girl down the back with red hair suddenly turns ghastly white. Her eyes turn black and her voice is so deep she must be possessed. She starts speaking in a monotone voice:

Father and Time together as one,
Making the time gone by undone,
Back to the age of Golden prosperity,
Undoing all acts of barbarity,
A boy is born with the blood of a god,
Whos power comes from an godly quad,
Destined to destroy the untimely threat,
With the help of a powerful sextet.
Everyone, and I do mean everyone was dead silent. Once the girl’s finish, she sits down and joins in the silence. Chiron finally breaks the ice.
“Well Campers! It seems we have a new Great Prophecy! If you would like, you may go off to bed, or you could stay here and discuss this.”
“It must be to do with the new kid!” Octavian yells. Several others mumble in agreement, and I feel like an outcast yet again.
“Chiron, if I may?” Annabeth asks. She gets up and stands in front of the crowd. “Okay so what could this mean? ‘Father and Time?’ Who are they? And who is the boy”
“Maybe Time is Chronos, and Father is Ouranus? Or Cronus?” Ben yells.
“That makes sense. So Chronos and Cronus want to erase time and go back to…the Golden Age?”
“That is where you are wrong, Child of Athena.” Everyone gasps at the mysterious voice correcting Annabeth.
“Who are you?” asked Chiron.
“I-“ suddenly a tall man with a beard and a cloak appears next to Chiron. “-am Chronos, Time himself. And I have come to ask for your help, you see, I do not want to reverse time, but in 50 years, 30 days and 4 hours I will be kidnapped, by the Olympian father Cronus, and it will be futile to try and save me. Cronus hopes to use me to reverse time back to when he ruled, and this time, stay ruler. In 30 days, Cronus will be strong enough to exit Tartarus, but he will not. He will stay and gain power until he chooses to kidnap me in the future. I have come from the future and I have brought with me a demigod by the name of Alexander Jackson. He is the boy in the prophecy. He is the only one who can destroy Cronus, with the help of his powerful ancestors; your demigods. In his own time, 50 years into the future, he has cannot save me, but now he can. His power is unique, as he has to fortune to inherit all of his demigod ancestor’s powers. I hope you can make it. This is your only chance.”

Chronos fades to blackness, and everyone is overwhelmed by what happened. Especially me. Again I am called upfront, and so are my grandparents, except one – Callie. Leo, Percy and Annabeth are all white as a sheet, as we discuss the depth of my ‘powers’. It turns out to be no mystery why I was claimed by two gods, except we still don’t know all of my ancestors. Poseidon, Athena and Hephaestus are the only ones we know of – Percy’s, Annabeth’s and Leo’s godly parents.
Chiron sends everyone to bed, and we sit by the bonfire contemplating what to do next. Leo breaks the ice;
“Soooo.. Grandson, eh? That’s, uhhh, weird.”
“Tell me about it.” I say. “What powers do you guys have? Could you teach me how?”
“Of course we can.” Percy replies nervously. He definitely feels the strangest about all this. Now I understand why I kept having those realisations, although my full memory hasn’t returned yet. Probably so I can’t tell anyone future events. The awkward silence is getting pretty unbearable.
“What are your powers, Leo?” He turns to me with a grin that I’ve seen on my mother’s face.
“Well, I’m glad you asked. I happen to be blessed by Hephaestus himself. I can control and create… FIRE!” He snaps his fingers and a flame erupts from the tip.
“Mwahahaha!” He cackles to himself. For a second I am perplexed with his awesome powers; a perfect flame - not unlike a candle - floating above his finger. He holds the flame to my arm and I don’t flinch. Nothing, it’s like a warm breeze. This leaves me stunned for a while and I almost miss what Annabeth said.
“We should all go to bed. It’s getting late. Alex, you can train with Leo tomorrow, Percy the next day, and then I will help you figure out your fourth godly great-grandparent. Sound good?”
“Yeah yeah, sure. Just, uhhhhh… which cabin do I stay in?”
“You can bunk with me bro!” Leo answers. “Yeah! It’ll be real fun!”
Leo and I head of to the Hephaestus cabin, and Percy and Annabeth head off to their house on the hill.
