Percy claims that being immortal has its perks. Not being able to get harmed, getting to live through amazing and horrible times, seeing how the world evolves. But the worst one is seeing his soulmate die over and over again. And not being able to do anything about it.
After being granted immortality by the gods decades ago, he took the gift as great thing that should be thanked till the end of time. Only it’s that there was a catch. In turn for his everlasting life, Percy soul was bonded with a mortal. A torturous endless life.
He wasn’t the type to fall in love. Percy was a god, one with limitless power and potential. But nevertheless, it only took a mere human to bend his will. He hated it. Loathed that he couldn’t do anything about saving his true love.
It was a never ending cycle. Finding his reincarnated partner, falling in love all over again, telling them about his immortality, them dying before him. Only for them to come back to life in a few years. Tiring and sad is what Percy called it.
But he couldn’t help but love you. It was something that Aphrodite took her time on. His love for you was timeless. No matter in what universe or time he’s in, Percy always finds his way back to you. Just this time, in a Demigod camp in the 20th century.
Seeing you again just reminded him how much he loves you. He knew by approaching you, that’s when the cycle begins all over again. And it always starts with: “Pretty impressive stuff that you do. Care to take some time to share some knowledge with me?” Percy teased with a grin as he walked up to you, his sword in his belt.
