Prizes Part One

Percy Jackson's POV

We file into the arena in Olympus city. The boys and I were tired. Well I was I am assuming they must be too. We just finished a hugely important quest for the noble half of our parents. We have an odd standing in our society. I mean that. Odd standing. We are the children of very powerful nobles. Yet we are also children of the common folk here in the capital city of Olympus.

This odd status has grated us a life full of quests and monsters to fight. I am not sure how much I like that but what can you do. I did not choose this life. I was born to it.

They sit there looking at us, our noble parental halves. Soon came a handler with a line of girls wearing long white dresses. They follow him and stood in a line. Each wore a collar with the symbol of delta on it around their necks. They did not have any expression on their faces. It was hard to believe that they were real.

We stood in a line looking up at them and our parents on the tall dais.

Jason had insisted we all bath first before being presented. He had gotten into a fight with the people who had come to fetch us to present us to our parents. We got our baths and changes of clothing. We at least looked presentable. We had been healed up as well before we set foot in this place we now stood in.

My father stands. He has a small smile playing on his lips. Poseidon then says to us. “You have done us all great honor and pride. On this day you have earned the ultimate prize.” He motions to the girls standing in a line. “There is one for each of you.” He sits back done his smirk still playing on his lips.

Hades smiles at us. His smile sends chills down my spin. “It is my pleasure to assign each girl to you boys.” He pauses looking at each of us. “Althea come here.” A very pretty young woman with brown hair comes toward Hades. Her walk is perfect. So is her hair. Her make-up. You can tell she is incredibility well trained. He points at me. “Go to him girl.” She walks over to me.

One by one each girl is assigned to one of us. Hades saves his son for last. Nico got a stunning red haired young woman. I was not sure how well training when for that one. Red heads tended to be rather stubborn and temperamental. She was flawless much like the other girls.

It was then I noticed their handler, Daedalus. Well maybe she learned much like the others. He was the best trainer amongst the trainers. He seemed rather pleased that his charges had gone to us. He has also been known to mold the most difficult of personalities into good wives.

Thinking about that, all these girls might have been and might still be very strong willed. This could prove to be interesting to say the least. They act docile enough in public. I also hate their collars. I am glad we get to dress them in our colours. I look forward to getting them all out of those blinding white dresses.

We bowed to our parents and they dismissed us. We were soon enough walking back to our shared villa. I was glad the place was so large. We were adding extra bodies into it. Extra bodies we had no clue if we get along with.

She walks along with me. All the girls are silent. Which is as it should be we have not given them leave to talk. This was going to be so odd. There was going to be someone to worry about me when I was gone on adventures.

My mind whirls with possibilities. We could have children. She be there for me to talk to. She be there to keep the nightmares away. Well once I get to know her better that is. I refuse to sleep in the same bed as her until I get to know her.

Our beds are huge. Two people could sleep on them and loose each other in the bed.

We reach our villa and go in. Our servants present themselves. They see and know that these girls are our wives for all intents and purposes. The girls would be collectively running our households.

We get to the big trunk. Jason opens it and he takes the things he placed in it for the woman who would one day be his. He takes Piper with him to his rooms.

Plucking out what I have chosen for my new wife. That sounded so odd to even think, my new wife. I lead her to what will be our rooms. I have a nice seating area along with those huge you can loose your lover on them beds.

“I am Percy son of Poseidon,” I look at this dark haired girl. “Tell me your name and your noble parent. You also have leave to speak freely.”

“I am Althea daughter of Demeter.” Althea looks at me. “These rooms are nice.” They were sea themed. Each one of our rooms was themed toward what we were. I take out the things from the bundle I want her to wear. A sea blue dress is set next to a few necklaces made out of sea glass. Golden sandals  that would re-size to her feet when she placed them on.

Taking the collar away from her I replace it with a necklace with my symbol on it. I turn away. “Change into the dress.” My voice hold a note of command but not. I cannot see for a moment. I pull off my head her white dress. This one has some spunk. I turn she is dressed in my colours.

She smiles at me.

Jason Grace's POV

We walk back to our villa. The girls do not complain about the walk either. I am not to surprised by this development. I watch the other young men around me. Nico was the youngest of us at seventeen. Angelo was eighteen. Percy, Leo and I were nineteen. All of us made it to the age where they do start thinking we need to have children.

Piper walks next to me. We all have the young woman they assigned to us walking with us. I note that they all are silent. I also note to myself that Nico's red headed woman Morgan I believe was her name was as pale as he was. The two of them looked like a set of the walking dead or at least vampires. That thought amuses me.

Shaking my head I laugh lightly. Piper eyes me but says nothing. They are trained well. The girls I know will not speak until we give them leave. None of us had yet. So in silence we walk to get to our home.

We arrive home our servants scurry around our prizes these girls change things. They will have leave to run the households that are contained within this place. Soon enough they are lined up. We introduce them to our new ladies. The servants bow. We dismiss them. We then take the ladies to where we have a huge trunk of things we had gotten together for when this was going to happen.

We stand before the trunk. I open it and take out the bundles that will become Piper's clothing. I tuck them then her under my arm and draw her off to where our rooms are. She blinks looking around herself. Something to be said of being the son of Jupiter. My rooms were in fact rather kingly. I was used to them, she on the other hand gasped aloud.

“We were not properly introduced. I am Jason Grace son of Jupiter.” I smile warmly at her as I undo the bundles. I pull out a beautiful purple dress. I lay that on the bed. I drop the golden resizing sandals next to the bed. I also drop a few other bits of jewelry. “You have leave to speak.”

“I am Piper, daughter of Aphrodite.” She smiled lightly as she came over to inspect the things I pulled out. I turn to her and take off the collar I hate more then the fact she has no choice. None of the young women who have noble and common blood mixed have a choice. If you were a woman and common you had rights. If you were noble and a woman you had rights. Now if you were a mix of the two- you had no rights. That angered me.

The collar gets flung across the room from us two. I pluck the necklace that is golden and place it around her neck. It has my sign on it. No one would bother her now. Well at least most would not bother her. There were a few that would just to be bastards.

“Where will I sleep?” Piper looks at me. I can read her nervousness. I understand that. The girls are supposed to be virgin for their husbands. Considering who trained them I was certain she was.

“In my bed where you are supposed to.” I smile lightly at her she blushes. Her blush is rather pretty. “We will not do anything until I feel we are both ready.”

She nods I can tell she is happy that I am not going to force her to have sex with me. I want to get to know her better before we start down that road. I want to have a relationship with her before adding sex into the mix. I hope she does not mind that.

For I know that kids do come from being with a partner of the opposite gender. Not so much with a same sex partner.  I do not want to father any children not quite yet. I want to know her first. I know by the laws we have to have children in three years time or she will loose her life.

My heart already does not want to loose this one. I go to sit down on my sofa. She joins me sitting next to me. She leans on my shoulder. I think I am going too like this a bit too much. Way too much.

Angelo Marco's POV

She follows me after I take my bundle from the trunk. We had toward my rooms. I am glad that we all were gifted with larger then normal beds. We could all have orgies in our rooms and no one would have to do anything on the floor the beds were that big.

Her eyes widen at the sight of the room set she was now in. All our rooms where the same. Extra large beds, with a sitting area off to the side and our own half bath. There was a salt water bathing chamber we all used. I still do not understand why it was salt water. But whatever.

“Your name and noble parent.” I eye the young woman who's eyes wandered around the room. She had dark hair, silver eyes, she was beautiful. I had a feeling she not be easy to get along with. She would learn. Or I'd make sure she was quiet forever.

“Amaya daughter of Selene.” She looks about herself. She stands next to me I take the hated collar off her neck toss it away and replace it with a white gold necklace with my symbol on it. She heaved a deep sigh.

“You may speak but know if your speech is not pleasing or I do not find it amusing. You will speak no longer.” I look at her.

She got this look on her face. “Where will I be sleeping cranky one?” I point at my bed.

“With me.” She pales a little. It is not like it is some thin bunk. The beds are huge here. I could loose her easily in this bed. Unless she is a roller or we both are. I tend to end up in the middle of my bed by morning.

Pointing at the new dress that she was to wear. It was black trimmed with gray. “Get that white dress off and change.” She looks at me. “I am not leaving you change.” She sighs and strips off the white dress. I wanted to see what I was truly working with.

The others might not of noticed but I did. These girls moved too well to be just trained in womanly arts. I think there is more to them. I look her over as she places the new dress, new sandals on her feet and the jewelry I have chosen for her on. I think I am right. She moves like a ninja. If she been trained. The other girls have been trained.

This could be dangerous for us all. Them and us, for I know I am not going to want to give up this gift and my father who guides the dead to the gates of death would happen to agree with me. I smirk a little. “You will due, Moonshine.” I look at her. I can tell she wants to growl. “You might as well get used to the fact that you do not get to win always. I think we will both enjoy the sparring.”

This might turn out to be both fun, annoying and very very dangerous.

I am glad I like danger.

Leo Valdez's POV

She bounces as she walks next to me. This one is full of kinetic energy. She seems bursting at the seams with energy. I have grabbed the things that are the start of what will be hers. I know the rest of the guys are not looking forward to completely outfitting them. We were going to have to. I was not looking forward to the shopping trip.

Opening the door to my room she bounces right in. She has an apple that swings on a golden chain that is wrapped around her waist. I do not like how that thing feels. The apple feels like a tiny fleck of chaos in my well ordered room. Okay so my room is not really that well ordered. There are plans for buildings things on tables. Half created ideas. Half build tiny machines. My dreams are scattered all about my room.

My room is dust free and there is no junk on my floor the servants see to that.

Undoing my bundle I pull out a red orange dress. The colour of the dress looks like flames dancing as the wearer moved about. I thought it was a good touch. If I do say so myself. I look at her and realize I only know her name.

“I am Leo son of Hephaestus.” I look at her, “Tell me your name and your noble parent? You also have leave to speak.”

“I am Sybil daughter of Eris.” Sybil smiles warmly at me. She has already noted what I placed on the bed. I am a bit surprised when the white dress she was wearing just slides off the collar she was sporting gets toss near my door. She is standing there partly naked pulling on her new dress. She slips on her shoes. Puts on the jewelry and hands me the necklace that has my symbol on it. I place that around her neck myself.

This one was going to bare watching. She was not shy to say the least. “Where will I be sleeping?” She looks at me, “will it be here in this bed.” She motions to the we could have an orgy in this bed bed.

“Yes you will.” I smile broadly.

“I hope you cuddle well I like cuddling.” Sybil smiles brightly. One of the bracelets around her slim wrist is for lack of a better descriptor a rainbow of colour.

Laughing I smile at her. “I love cuddling.”

She looks at me from where she is one moment standing and the next moment in my arms snuggling up to me. I hold her and wonder what I was in for with this one. This was going to be an interesting kink in my daily things I do if she plans on staying glued to me. Not that I minded she was so perfectly small.

Nico di Angelo's POV

Watching the others take their bundles and their newly gifted female back to their rooms. I eye mine. I pick up my bundles out of the trunk. This one moves with a grace I cannot place a finger on. She sniffs the air. She stops looking at the bathing room. She looks at me then at the bathing room.

Sighing I take her into the bathing room. “This is not where I wanted to start but I suppose it works.” My words echo around the room that has the soft sounds of a waterfall in it. The bathing pool was the size of a small mill pond. I take the collar off her I do not like the way it looks. I extract the necklace with my symbol on it and place it on her neck.

She looks at the water with a longing I have only seen on Percy's face. I think I might have a child of the oceans given to me. “Before you go into the water.” She looks back at me surprised. “I want your name and who your noble parent is. You may speak freely.”

“I am Morgan, daughter of Oceanus.” She looks at me. “May I go into the water?” Her voice was a whisper. I nod. She strips her clothing off. I see the faint marks of where whips must have touched her back. She is in the water so quickly I realize she changed forms. I see a mermaid swimming around in the bath right now.

She swims back. She looks up at me. I know she is sitting on the natural magics of a mermaid. “Who hurt you.”

She tilts her head. “I was born in the slave pits. My mother came there already pregnant. I was told she had been sold as a concubine but she had been returned for some reason. She was so beautiful.” Morgan sighs she looks up at me. She so different looking. She is different type beautiful. “They would beat me to make Mother do things. Eventually I was taken from the pits because of the blood in my veins.  Daedalus had been not happy about my condition when I arrived.”

I had heard about that.  Daedalus because of his rank in our world got all the slavers and those that handled a certain group of female slaves executed. The female slaves where quickly found new places. Another thing I hated about our world- slavery. No one had the right to turn another free person into a slave. No one.

“You are the son of Hades that is why he saved you for last.” She looked at me. She pulls herself out of the water. She moves her hand. She is dry and human. It takes my brain a few moments to realize she is also naked. She stands. “What am I to wear?”

Holding out the dress she comes over to me and dresses. I hand her the next things she is now fully dressed in a few moments. I lead her back to what will be our space. I am glad that I am only down two doors from the bathing room. I think my sea nymph will be in the water as much as she can.

Opening the doors she looked about my room. The black dress I have her in makes her white skin shine whiter. I know people are going to start the rumours of the vampires living in the villa. I shake my head. She looks about the room.
