A/N: Okay if you don't know much about Greek Mythology you may want to brush up a bit or get confused, also the next couple chapters may be info chapters

“Poseidon? As in the Greek God Poseidon?” all of my wut.
“Jake it’s impolite to refer to them as ‘Greek’ Gods.” No Celestia it’s rude to call me in for a meeting and throw a God at me straight from the get go. Poseidon just chuckled at our antics.
“It’s quite all right Celly that’s how his people know us, I’m not angry if that’s how he wishes to address us.” I’m beginning to think we might just get along.
“So if you don’t mind me asking why exactly are you here? I mean Hades already told me about the whole protect Equestria deal.”
“what? I can’t come examine my investment?” investment? I AM NOT A BUSINESS!
“well I must have done something right to get Hades approval, do you not trust his judgment?” he scowled at me and Celestia look terrified that I had just questioned him. Frankly I didn’t care; if I was getting shoved into the role of Defender then I’ll be the most annoying Defender ever, cant exactly kill something you need.
“I thoroughly trust his judgment I just wished to see the boy who threatened my daughter’s life.” BOY?! I’M NO- did he just say daughter?
“DADDY!” I spun around to see Luna running into the room and launch herself towards Poseidon was caught her smiling.
“Wow Lulu you’ve grown since I last saw you” he said while hugging her tightly.
“It’s been so long…” she trailed off sounding close to tears. Oh god do I feel awkward I was never good with the whole touching reunion thing.
“I’m sorry that I gave into my negative emotions so easily daddy.” She said as she hugged his neck.
“it’s okay Lulu we all have our bad centuries.” Well, not me I wasn’t even two decades old. They continued to hug making me more and more awkward.
While I considered jumping out the window and escaping I felt an aura engulf me. I was surrounded in light blue magic and brought over to Poseidon.
“Now lets see what I have to work with” he then began to prod and poke me while making various ‘hmmm’ and ‘huh’ noises. Not being the one to let conversation die I decided to ask about his kids.
“So Luna and Celestia are your kids huh?” he didn’t stop the examination.
“They are some of my children, I also have some on earth attempting to stop the Titans at the moment, but that’s not what you want to hear about is it?”
“Well actually-”
“Yes Luna and Celestia are my children, however they aren’t normal ponies” I gave him my best ‘you don’t say?’ face.
“Well besides the obvious fact that they’re Alicorns! When they were first born I took them to Olympus to raise them. Their mother had passed away and they need somepony to watch over them, that and I could sense that they would be the ones to lead this country. They spent a long time in Olympus, long enough for the power that flows there to make them immortal. But that was not all they learned there, Apollo took Celestia under his wing and trained her how to raise the sun and the secrets behind a perfect sunset, while Artemis trained Luna how to raise the moon and make constellations.” My brain is literally fizzing out. They had been trained by gods? I nodded my head dumbly.
“Once the other gods and I had created this world and it’s inhabitants we prepared to send the Princesses there but something went wrong. The Titans had sent one of their most powerful minions to the world to kill and destroy everything here.”
“Wait, wait, wait, I thought that Titans were dead” he looked at me ominously.
“you can never truly kill something as powerful as the Titans, banish them to Tartarus for a while but not kill them, that’s a harsh lesson my son Percy is learning.”
“Right and who is this Percy?”
“Not important to your situation, now the Titans sent Discord to Equestria out of spite, my girls fought hard against him but in the end we had to intervene, Hephaestus and began to forge six great weapons that could only be activated by those who use them for good.”
“The elements of Harmony.”
“Precisely, we sent them to the girls in their time of need and they were able to stop Discord, however the cost of such pure power is that the Element couldn’t be used to kill him only imprison him in stone.”
“and this is where I come in isn’t it? You need someone to handle the God’s dirty work?” I was angry, I wasn’t some killer the Gods could use simply because it conveniences them.
“you wouldn’t be a killer Jake. We’re not just gonna send you out to kill ponies preaching against the Gods. You will only be contacted if lives are at stake and you will only kill to save.”
“but I would still be doing the Gods dirty work, wouldn’t I?” he looked at me with old sad eyes.
“it’s only because of the Gods that these ponies are put in danger that’s why we want you to be the protector from the Gods to show them that they are not abandoned.” I thought about it; it did make sense to want to defend innocents, but I didn’t want to be a mindless drone.
“I’ll make you a deal Poseidon, I’ll examine whatever problem you guys send to me and I’ll fix it, BUT in the end I get the say in whether or not I kill them, deal?” he didn’t look happy but he also didn’t look upset.
“I suppose that these terms are acceptable.” Cool. Then the whole thing really hit me hard; I had just made a deal with a God! I was batting in the big leagues now! Hell maybe I could talk Bill Gates out of his fortune.
“so you never told me what or who I’d be fighting.” He looked at me solemnly.
“Remember how I mentioned my son fight the Titans?” I nodded, how could I forget all the ominous hints he been dropping about him?
“Well not all the Titans are heading for earth.”
A/N: Also considering Jake being able to change into a pony, but i want some feedback about it!
Jake as a pony would be interesting, can only see him as an alicorn because of the abilities you gave him
No human Jake I like having a human with powers n' shtuff yay for mortal killing titans YAY
Why not just have him be able to switch between forms? I mean, he IS marked by Hades, approved by Poseidon, and can control the shadows. I'm sure he can manage at LEAST a complex illusion spell for pony form.

well actually i was thinking more of an amulet from Aphrodite and Poseidon as a gift so he can blend in more when he needs too
526055 Go for that then! Cause honestly, jake as human is just more badass in my opinion.
i like it
*pulls out a army-issue WWI revolver* this chapter makes me want to airate my skull.
THIS GOES AGINST EVERYTHING I'VE EVER KNOWN ABOUT TH' GREEK GODS! ALMOST 10 YEARS I'VE BEEN STUDYING THEM! MY BRAIN THROBS WITH GAHHHHHH!
526146
why? did i get some of the facts wrong?
526160 no, all of h' other elements you're throwing in. and you have all your facts right, that's what makes my brain hurt th' most.
526177
cool, i haven't been reading any greek mythology for a while now and thought i may have goofed on some of the facts
I say DO NOT MAKE HIM A PONY, it messes up a lot of mechanics, and detracts from what makes HiEs unique
i would say switch between human and pony at will, but make him a pegasis, he already got wings that are a part of him and the shadow power were given to him so no horn
meh, would be pretty funny if turned into a mare
As long as he's able to change between the two forms then I'm good with it.
'not all are heading to earth'
ANNNDDDDD
your now royally screwed. Have fun living
It seems to me as a pony, some of his powers should be restricted a bit. After all, a bird of prey cannae fire while cloaked
“Well not all the Titans are heading for earth.”
