[MC POV]
I was years ten years old now my body was well built like a swimmer I wanted to buff up more, but I was only 10. I was tall for my age I think I was around 5'6 my white hair had darkened a little my eyes were enchanting as ever. I was a confident when came to my looks, but I never got cocky Nyx made sure to beat that out of me. Over the years I had got my hands on some good weapons mainly thanks to Gaea. My favorites were long sword made of celestial bronze when I grip the handle it turns into a pen similar to Percy sword. I also had Achilles armor, shield and spear. I only use the armor, but I can summon them at any time after I put a spell on it.
My overall strength had improved to point where I felt confident to start my journey to camp half-blood. I already had three possible candidates to be in my pantheon Luke, Thalia and Annabeth Luke would the easiest to convince he hates Hermus with passion. Thalia was the same although she doesn't hate Zeus like how Luke hates his father, she would still be easy to convince. Annabeth would be tougher she didn't hate her on the Athena; she idolizes her I have to change that I can also appeal to her hubris.
All three had one thing in common they were all ambitious like me I believe they have would it takes to rise beyond their station and challenge the Gods. At the moment I didn't have any other candidates, but I still had time, so I wasn't worried. My magic had grown to the point I could be mistaken as a son of Hecate. My tychokinesis continued to be my most useful ability I was like Marvel's Domino lucky things just happen to me. With the help of Gaea, I was able to gain good control cholorkinesis and charm speak.
In my free time I thought of ways to speed up my evolution, but I hadn't come up with anything I needn't to do some research but didn't have access to the internet at the moment. I didn't have perfect memory of the timeline of Percy Jackson, but I knew Luke and Thalia would meet Annabeth this year, so I decide I would start my journey today, Gaea and Nyx have agreed. They got me a magical backpack it could hold a lot of items, but it wasn't unlimited it also had a durability spell on it.
''Are you almost ready Adamas I'm ready to teleport you to New York'' said Gaia.
''Yes, I have pack cloths, food and books I also have the money and drachmas you gave me'' I said.
''I still think you should shadow travel there it would be an excellent workout are you sure you don't want to reconsider'' ask Nyx.
''You just like the thought of me struggling'' I stated.
''Two things can be true at once'' responded Nyx smirking.
I give Gaea and Nyx a hug ''I'll miss you both thank you for raising and training me'' I said
''I'll miss you to Adamas the last ten years has the been wonderful you have changed me and my sister for the better I am truly glad to have raise you'' said Gaea as she kisses me on the cheek
''Don't embarrass me be dying to some weak monster if you do, I'll go to underworld myself and claim your soul'' said Nyx.
''Of course, I want'' I said as teleport via plant.
[Gaea POV]
He's gone now his journey has officially started'' I said in a somber tone.
''He's strong and he has his mother's will be looking after him he'll be fine as long as he keeps his pride in check'' said Nyx.
''I know but I still worry If Uranus somehow discover him, he will kill him before he becomes a challenge. said Gaea.
''That's why he has us we will make sure Uranus stays blind to the true danger with all power he has gain he'll be more arrogant than ever Adamas will be easy to hide'' said Nyx.
''That's true'' Gaea said.
''I can wait for him to grow up I might make him my husband in the future'' Nyx said.
SISTER!!
''You have the same thoughts as me I'm just honest about it'' said Nyx.
[MC POV]
Plant teleportation was useful it was better than shadow travel when it came to long distance. I didn't know which part of New York I was in, but it didn't matter with my luck ability I would be fine. I didn't even get a map I just started walking first thing I did was go to Chick-fil-A it tasted just like I remember. I stop at a library did some research the concept of Gods and how to achieve godhood I spent half the day researching. From what I research the best possible way to become a god was study enlightenment I copy everything I could about the concept Buddhism and Hinduism had the most to offer. I spent the rest of the day traveling I didn't run into any monster, yet I found an area to sleep so I got comfortable and started to read a magic book I got from Gaea until I fell to sleep.
Next day was not as peaceful some monsters pick up my scent and started tracking me, I lead them to an isolated area and wait so I could see what type of monster I'm dealing with. I saw three bull like figures coming towards the area they were Colchis Bulls I decide to keep moving for now taken them out I'll need to prepare first. I caught a bus to random location I was still relying on my luck ability to guide to where I wanted it had been working so far. After getting off the bus I continued to walk until I saw a little girl with blonde hair running from a Cyclops. I use shadow travel and jump out the girls shadow I took out my sword and jumps towards its eye hoping to kill it quickly.
It blocks with its arm grunting in pain ''Damn you, demi-god I'll eat you alive you little shit'' said the cyclops.
''Give me your best shout ugly'' I looked towards the girl behind me ''stay back I'll handle this''.
I dashed toward my opponent legs sword in hand I slash his achillea slowing him down he tried to kick me with his other leg. I dodge creating space before chanting a spell in ancient Greek a lightning ball formed in my hands before launching it the beast. As expected, it was too slow to dodge it the attack head on screaming in pain while that was happening, I prepare my next move. I charge my sword with darkness making longer and sharper my lightning attack had a paralyze effect giving me plenty of time to prepare. I dashed forward aiming my sword right its eye my sword stabs through it like paper it explodes into golden dust leaving behind its skull I garb it and put it in my magical bag.
I turned towards the girl who was looking at me with shock and awe I walk up to her to introduce myself. ''Hey, my name is Adamas Corrino are all right'' I ask her?
''I'm fine thank you for helping me I'm Annabeth Chase'' she said.
I smiled ''Do you know why that monster was chasing you'' I ask?
''Yes, we are demi-gods, and monster can smell us'' she said.
''Thats good you know I'm glad I don't have to explain if don't mind me asking do know who your godly parent is'' I ask?
She looks hesitant before she spoke ''I'm the daughter of the wisdom goddess'' she said.
''Smart you know not to use their names unless you want their attention, I am the son of Fates'' I said.
She looked at me with complete shock
''What it's not like my parents are virgin's goddess'' I said teasingly.
''Shut up I know they aren't virgin goddess but the idea of them having demi-god child is almost blasphemous'' she said.
''Fair enough but I am the embodiment of blasphemy'' I said pridefully.
She looked at me for moment before she spoke ''Your crazy but your strong are you going to camp half-blood'' she asks?
''Yes, and yes, we can travel together'' I said already knowing her next question.
''Thanks'' she said.
''It's no problem I can train you on are way to camp it be fun for me'' I said.
''You'll train me'' she asks with excitement.
''Yea it be easier on me if you can defend yourself plus you're the child of warrior goddess you should know how to fight'' I said.
''When do we start'' she asks?
''After we get something eat'' I said
''Do you have any money'' she asks hopefully?
''Yes, let's find some where to eat'' I said
We walk to a Mcdonalds order some food and ate outside ''Why are you alone I ask already knowing the answer but wanting to get her naturally.''
She looks sad for brief moment before she spoke ''My dad and stepmom didn't want me because I kept causing trouble, so I decide to leave I also didn't want my other siblings to get hurt.''
''I see well at least you're not alone anymore'' I said reassuring.
''Thanks what about you though why are you out here instead of your home or whatever'' ask Annabeth?
''I was lucky adopted by another demi-god she and her sister raised me I left because my mom's said it was time it to make my way to camp half-blood'' I said using the lie Gaea told me.
''Aren't you going to miss your home'' ask Annabeth?
''Yes, but I also want to get stronger and meet others like us I can't do that at home'' I said.
''You know where the camp is'' Annabeth ask?
''Yes, but I don't have a map I have an ability that makes me really lucky I have been relying on that since I started'' I said
She gave me in incredulous look.
We continued to talk and travel for the rest of day the next day I started to teach Annabeth how to fight. I was teaching how to use a knife and hand-to-hand combat she was picking up fast as expected from child of Athena. I gave her a bronze knife that can be summon to the user palms know matter where they are.
Next Day
Annabeth was able to find a map and we started to use it to get to camp half-blood there were a few monsters challenge us, but we took care them.
''What do you think the Gods are like'' Annabeth ask?
''For the most part they are all irrational, selfish and cruel beings including are parents'' I said.
''But my mom helped me survived I would been dead without her, and you said your moms care about you'' ask Annabeth.
''Just like any other human they have good and evil in them the Gods want us mortals to think there perfect but that's not true they are not perfect no one is'' I said.
Annabeth didn't say anything back it seemed like my words reach her which was good I wanted her to be a part of my new pantheon I wouldn't let her develop same trust in the gods she had in original series.
''Hey Adam, do you think I could learn magic'' she asks suddenly.
''Yea you could learn it might take a while, but some demi-gods can learn to use magic'' I stated
''Will you teach me'' she asks excitedly?
''Did you have anything in mind you specifically wanted to learn'' I ask?
''Alchemy, I read about some of it in your books I would like to learn how to do it I could become a great architect with alchemy at my disposal maybe I could even create a real Philosopher's Stone'' she said with enthusiasm.
''If you created a Philosopher's Stone even the Gods would be impressed, I can teach you the basic of alchemy along with some attack magic after that you'll have to improve on your on when it comes to alchemy unless you can convince Gale to train you'' I said.
''Who Gale'' ask Annabeth?
''She is a powerful witch who is a master of Alchemy she created a polish that could bring someone back from the dead as long as they haven't been dead for more than 24 hours'' I told her.
''That's amazing I hope I can learn from her one day'' she said.
''Perhaps you will one day'' I said
