The Mind Electric

by genesisguidline

Summary:

A strange looking boy arrives at an orphanage located at the outskirts of the city of Atlantis.

He is told that a soldier had found him in an abandoned village.

That is his first memory.

Sometimes there are flashbacks of a warm smile and a pair of soft arms, embracing him with all the love he can only dream of at night.
——————————————-
Several decades later, a boy with dark hair and even darker eyes is born.
His mother names him ‘Nico’ and his father secretly visits him with a smile on his face.

 

What if Percy jackson was born in the summer of 1935 and Nico Di Angelo was born in 18th of August, 1993.

What will change?

Chapter 1: Interlude

Look, I didn’t want to be a half blood,

 

 

-Is what I would’ve said if my mom was born much later, and If Poseidon was less of an ass.

 

But alas, life doesn’t always run like you want it to.

 

There are many versions and outcomes of this story, and I definitely do not think that mine is the worst.

To be honest, I think mine has one of the better outcomes.

 

However, regardless of how better my situation might seem, the fact that the gods have ruined another life still stands true.

 

So, let me introduce myself again.

 

Look, I didn’t want to be born.

The world was unjust and cruel, and I was just a little boy who didn’t know who he was.

 

I was a nobody.

Just another one of those little, insignificant lives that were unfortunate enough to have no friends and family. Destined to live for one miserable purpose:

Used as a pawn for some meaningless game that no poets will sing about.

 

Or so I thought.

 

This story is not about a half-blood hero that hates the gods, yet failed to do anything prominent in retaliation.

This story is about a boy and a man born from the ashes of a fallen soldier.

 

A soldier who could’ve been something else.
