This takes place in the world of Percy Jackson and The Olympians, the book series. In the first book, The Lightning Thief, Percy’s mom, Sally Jackson, “dies”- but really she was just kidnapped by Hades, and Percy gets her back at the end of his quest with Grover and Annabeth. After the quest, twelve year old Percy is hanging out with Luke, one of the first friends he’s ever had, and the “cool guy” at Camp. Percy is still amazed that someone with a reputation like Luke would hang out with a loser like him, but Percy’s grateful anyway. Obviously, Luke is a traitor and working for Kronos. After the quest, Luke tries to poison Percy with a scorpion and leaves. WELL, in this version, Sally DOES actually die, and after the quest, Luke tells Percy all about the gods and their wrongdoing. Percy, who just lost the only person that ever cared about him (his mom), is already bitter, and hearing the way the gods treat other people, he becomes even more angry. Luke manages to get Percy to join him and Kronos before Chiron, Grover, or Annabeth can talk any sense into Percy. This takes place three years later, when Percy is fourteen, only a few weeks after the battle for the Labyrinth, on Kronos’s ship, The Princess Andromeda.
Luke is 21. He has tan skin, a lean but muscular build, sandy blonde hair, mischievous but tired blue eyes, a lot of random scars, and one specific scar running from the corner of his left eye to his chin. He’s charming, can be manipulative, and bitter.
It is a stormy Saturday, around sunset.
Percy was standing on the dock of the Princess Andromeda, staring out at the raging sea. Luke had come along a few times, teasing and saying that Percy needed to calm down, or else the storm (which can be connected to Percy’s moods or will) would tip the boat. This was a perfectly normal, completely unrelated to divinity, type of storm, though, and they all knew they didn’t have to worry.
It really was beautiful, though. The storm. The clouds were dark, but purples and pinks and blues from the sunset peaking through anyway. Poetic, really. If they cared about that type of stuff.
Which they don’t.
