A really interesting plot could be Percy shapeshifting into different demigod forms to understand their powers better.

One plot idea could be Percy using his shapeshifting ability to infiltrate the lair of a powerful enemy. He could transform into a small animal like a mouse to get past defenses and then change into a more formidable form to fight. Another could be Percy struggling to control his shapeshifting, accidentally changing forms at inconvenient times, like during a school exam or a tense conversation with his friends.
One plot idea could be Percy having to team up with Hera to rescue a group of demigods who have been captured by an ancient monster. Hera, despite her usual aloofness, realizes she needs Percy's unique skills.
One idea could be being reborn as a new camper at Camp Half - Blood. You could discover new powers related to water, like being able to create ice sculptures with just a thought, which is a unique take on Percy's water - based powers. Another plot could involve being reborn as a child of a minor god, like Hecate. You'd then have to struggle to prove your worth among the children of the major gods. And perhaps a plot where you're reborn with memories of the future, and you have to use that knowledge to prevent a great disaster at Camp Half - Blood.
