Perhaps he has lost too many people close to him. If his friends, like Annabeth or Grover, were to die in a particularly tragic way, he could be so grief - stricken that he no longer wants to live in a world without them. He might think that death is the only way to escape the pain of their loss.
Some gods might be indifferent. They are used to mortals' pleas and may see Percy's request as just another desperate cry from a human. For instance, Zeus, who is often portrayed as self - centered, might not care much about Percy's pain and simply ignore the request.
One possible scenario could be that Percy has faced so many traumas and losses in his battles against the monsters and gods' schemes that he simply feels exhausted and wants an end. For example, if he loses his close friends like Annabeth in a particularly brutal way, it might push him to the edge.
It could be a new, powerful and malevolent god. This god might be jealous of Percy's status as a hero and the favor he has from some of the Olympian gods. So, the new god devises a plan that makes Percy's life so miserable that he asks for death.
After Percy's death, his friends might start a rebellion against the Gods. They would be angry and feel that Percy was unjustly killed. This could lead to a full - scale war between the demigods and the Gods.
Maybe Percy unknowingly breaks some ancient and very strict laws of the Gods. For example, he might interfere with some sacred rituals or places that are off - limits to mortals, even demigods like him. In the fanfiction world, the Gods could be very unforgiving when it comes to such violations and decide to kill him as a result.
Yes, it is quite popular. Some fans like to explore alternate storylines where Percy takes extreme actions like this. It adds a new level of drama and reimagines the power dynamics in the Percy Jackson universe.
In fanfiction about Percy Jackson Gods' Promises, one common aspect is the exploration of how the gods' promises shape the characters' fates. For example, Percy might be directly or indirectly affected by a promise made by Zeus or Poseidon. These promises often add an extra layer of complexity to the story, as they can be broken or fulfilled in unexpected ways.
Another theme is the creation of new quests. Fanfiction writers often come up with unique quests for Percy and his friends. These quests can involve different mythologies or new challenges that are not in the original books. For instance, a quest that takes them to a hidden realm full of forgotten gods.
One great 'Percy Jackson and the Gods Fanfiction' is 'The Lost Hero's Return'. It has an exciting plot where Percy comes back after being lost in a mysterious realm. The author does a wonderful job of staying true to the characters' personalities from the original series.
