Percy Jackson: Rising New Limits

CHAPTER 1: WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

Well, this is my first fanfiction in this website. My mother language is not English, not even the second, but the third. I will try my best to do a nice story. Same as always, but different, you know what I mean. It's Percy with the betrayal and this type of things but in my way. I want it to be more realistic, with pain and feelings, not just fight and this stuff. (There will be war too, it's one of my favorite parts xD) I hope it will be nice to read. People always say the same, but if you do not review/message, I don't know if the story is interesting you, or it's boring, or if you think that my mind is gone. I don't care if it's just a smile, or a sentence or whatever. Even flames or nice, because you make me want to write more so…

Some characters can be OOC, because I like to make them in my way.

For you to know this story is settled after HoO, so Piper, Frank and company are in the story.

No, I don't own any of these characters, they belong to Uncle Rick.

Percy POV

Well, let me explain to you why I am now fighting alone, against Cerberus in the underworld. Why I am not in Camp Half-Blood, with my fabulous girlfriend, Annabeth, and my awesome friends and family. Why I am not having fun after the war with Gaia.

It all started a while ago, when I was thinking about something to give to Annabeth and earn the respect of Athena. Then, I had an idea, I thought about doing the labours of Hercules. Maybe, just maybe, if I can complete them, I can get some respect from Athena and she can accept our relationship. How wrong I was…

Well, the last job was capturing and bringing back Cerberus, yeah I did the eleven that were before that, do not ask me how. Just a lot of luck and pain I suppose. So there I was, with my sword riptide, some chains made of celestial bronze and wounds all over the tired body. Yey! I was avoiding Cerberus nibbles, dodging his whipping with his tail and trying to put the chains on his neck. Just crazy. Then, I thought about something, something really stupid that could cause my death. Well, let's just try it!

I ran into a wall, Cerberus was running behind me, I put one foot on the wall, I made force and propelled myself into the air making a mortal back. When I realized, I was sitting on Cerberus, quickly I encircled his neck with the chains and push as if they were a horse's reins. Actually, it worked, I got Cerberus! Yessss! But, in that moment something happened, suddenly my head ached a lot, an agonizing pain. And I faint. Nice Percy!

When I got up, Cerberus was, licking my face? Wow, wow, wow, wow, woooooow!

What the heck was going on here? Wasn't this monster supposed to kill me, not love me? That's so strange. Focus Percy, what've you learned after years of fighting against stupid monsters, crazy titans and the mother earth? You can't trust them. You have learned to look outside, to always be attentive. But this hellhound was awesome. Cerberus seems more peaceful, calm, and even cleaner. Somehow I know that now he obeys my orders, we are connected, as in the movie that I saw the other day, Avatar, a good movie by the way. You have your pet, he does what you say by looking at it, and your minds are connected, as a link. But it's different from the link that I have with Blackjack or Mrs. O'Leary, they respect me and love me. And I love them a lot too.  I would not know how to explain it is simply different. That's so cool! I am really happy with the new acquisition. I think we will be friends, is not it Cerberus? *STRONG BARK*

Then, I realized where in the Underworld I was, in front of the River Styx. Hmmmmmmm. What, if I had another bath? Yeah, it's very painful, but I think it's worth it. You know I lost my powers when I entered the Roman Camp, and having them again would be great.  It will be easy to protect all my friends, my family, and Annabeth.

So, I just jumped into the river like a professional swimmer, same pain as before, same emotions, and same place for the spot where I am vulnerable. My anchor is the same too, Annabeth. I jumped out, I dunno how, the truth is that I only thought about seeing my friends again in the camp, the energy was going through my body and I had control for a moment, enough to get out.

 With all my skin burned and even feeling dizzy and tired, but feeling more powerful too, like tingles all around the body, more able to defend my people.  I recovered soon. Then, I jumped on Cerberus and told him to go to Camp, I want to watch my friends and spend time with Annabeth. I love her so much.

I am now entering the magic barrier, everybody is looking at me, drawing their swords, and I try to convince them to get the weapons down. The camp has not changed too much this month. Maybe there are more people because I do not remember seeing so many people looking at me since the day that Poseidon claimed me as his son. Yeah, there's more people for sure, in a month it seems that the population of the camp has tripled, it seems that they have done extensions of the cabins. Although I do not see any change in mine or any of the big three

In that moment some idiot shot an arrow and hit Cerberus, who swiftly turns in the direction of the shot, and growls hard. Nice, the people who were not even looking at me now are going to do it. The big house does not seem to have changed at all. I stand in front, looking at Chiron who was at the same time looking at me. With a face of amazement and joy, but his eyes do not say the same. Is it perhaps pain and repulsion what they are telling me? Ow, and at least 100 campers behind watching intently. I am a bit nervous.

"Hi Chiron, nice to see you again" I said with happiness.

"Hi Percy, ehm, is that what I think it its?" He asked a little surprised.

"Hah! Yeah, it's my new pet, Cerberus this is Chiron, Chiron this is Cerberus" The creature went to Chiron and licked his face.

"Ow, I can see that he is yours now. Thatsss… good I think."

"Ehm, ty master, well, I do not want to look rosy, but where is Annabeth?"

"Well, things have changed here a little bit, maybe you're not so welcome here anymore. People say things, rumors circulating after your disappearance. I do not say that they are true, but the gods are not very happy. OH, and I think that she is on the beach "Chiron said, like really sad.

"I do not know what you're talking about if I'm honest with you. I have done the labours of Hercules to gain the trust of Athena. I just want to be calm after the war against Gaia. I just want to be with my friends and with Annabeth. The rest matters to me pretty little you already know"

"I understand… The gods have told me that I can not tell you anything else, little by little you will know. Just tell you that I think you should leave, if what is said is true, you will not be my best hero, and for me you will never have existed. Sorry Percy…"

"It hurts me that you to tell me all this. You seem to have lost confidence in me… And I still do not understand why! After all I've done you question my loyalty, which really hurts me. I never announce it out there that I was a hero or something like that, as if it were a "pimp". You know that I don't care at all"

"I still do not know what you're talking about. And whatever it is, it seems serious enough that you no longer appreciate me, which I very much dislike. Just to say whatever it is that I'm supposed to have done is not true. I'm going to the beach to see Annabeth. I'm sorry Chiron. Whatever it is"

"Bye Perseus…we will see"

With that I left the Big House. I told Cerberus to go away, to disappear into the shadows. I would call him later if I needed it. Basically because people were getting very nervous. And they were talking about me, and I could hear a word that was making me insane "betrayal". That was just crazy, betrayal. Come on I'm Percy, I have saved your lives twice already. When I talk to my friends I will dismantle that rumor. I do not like it a bit…

And yeah, don't forget about Chiron. The inner pain I was now feeling was strong, Chiron, my mentor ... He is like my father, and now he does not trust me and wants me out? What am I supposed to do? I will earn his trust again! I'm sure he's saying it because yes, some mistake. I do not care if I'm a hero or not, it hurts that after all, you know, they treat you like this. But I do not care, I have my friends. I believe. I do not expect parties or anything for me, just respect and tranquility.

When I was going to the beach, I ran up with Thalia, the huntresses are in the camp for some motive that still I do not know.  I suppose that it will not be important.

"Hello Percy, where have you been this month?" She asked with anger face

"Nothing, doing the twelve Hercules' works, to win Athena's respect "I said sadly

 "Aaand? She said laughing

"I made them"

"Congrats"

"Well ty…Pinecone face. But, why do people look at me with hatred?"

"Since you left, well lots of campers have arrived. A son of Zeus, and my brother then. And yeah, he's so good and kind. And there are some rumors about you…"

"Whatever they are is not true. I have not done anything wrong. You do not believe me either?"

"No Kelp head! Stupid, I trust you…But things have changed… And… I have to go! We will talk later ok?" With that she started running, the hunters were beckoning for him to come quickly. She turned around for a moment to tell me something.

"And yeah Percy… sorry"

"For?"

But she left, without turning, ignoring my question. What was that about? Well, I will talk with her after. Everything was so strange now. Betrayal, trust…What the heck was all that. And the new camper, I want to talk with him. He seems now very important. Well, now the most important thing is to find Annabeth.

Well first chapter. I hope you like it! If not, just say it, it will be all right. I prefer to have bad reviews/messages, and then know that what I am doing it's not good then keep writing a story that people did not enjoy. Ty!
