Chapter 1: I meet man-haters

Percy' Pov:
I wake up in a unfamiliar place. It looks like a forest in the USA (I barely even remember what that is). I don't remember who I am. I'm wearing khaki shorts, a purple shirt with SPQR on it, a gold coin in my pocket, black Nikes, and a tattoo with SPQR, seven lines, and a lightning bolt. I wonder what SPQR is and what the tattoo stands for. I can remember events and places in History but not my friends, family, or my past.

I decide to play with the coin I have/ found; it says Rōmulus. Romulus. I blink how did I know that. This was some foreign language that definitely isn't English. I decide to go on a walk to find something to eat. Little did I know that I was going to run into a man who would later show up again in my life.

I start to feel self-conscious, while I'm picking some blueberries. I felt like a pair of eyes were staring at my back. I turn around to see a man. He is pale and thin with gray hair, dirty fingernails, and blue shadows under his eyes. His hair cut looked like he had asked Polyphemus to cut it. although, I have no idea who Polyphemus is. He is wearing a thin tattered orange jumpsuit.

"Give me your food," He asks. He tries to grab my blueberries, but they ran away from him. I felt bad for him, but it was pretty funny. I mean, seriously, you don't see a man chasing blueberries that seemed to literally ran away from him, even if I was mad at him for trying to steal them. "Who are you?" I ask as he sits down, probably tired from chasing the blueberries.

"I am Tantalus, son of Zeus." He says. "Zeus, who's Zeus?" I ask confused. What is he talking about? "Have you heard of Ancient Greece?" he pauses to look at me. What does he want? I wonder. Ohhh..., I nod my head. I'm a little slow, but hey, I'm _ years old. I have no idea how old I actually am; maybe, around nine or ten if I'm lucky. [ guessing from today I'm not].

" Well, the Greeks worshipped their Gods; Zeus was their ruler, king, God of lightning, weather, justice, honor, and air. There are twelve Olympians and Hestia the Goddess of the hearth and family." I blink, confused. "Don't you mean Vesta?" I asked. He snorts," You're more stupider than I thought." I glare at him; I am not stupid. Lightning crackled over head like a whip. Tantalus ran off like a coward, leaving me alone. "Go chase a donut!" I shout after him. I'm glad he's gone; he seems arrogant and rude.

I decide to pick more blueberries. I hear rustling in the bushes that make a small sound. "Who's there," I ask. I hear steps behind me, and I turn around to see a loaded bow in front of my face. I stare at it cross eyed before gulping. Well, this is totally safe.

I look at the teenage girl who looked like a Persian Princess with her dark brown eyes, long black hair, her copper-colored skin, slightly up-turned nose, and her silver circlet woven in her hair. She was 5'3" and graceful; she also had a cold regal expression and a cold proud look in her eyes as she looked at me. "I found a boy." She sneered like I was a pig. She looks at me even colder than before; on second thought, like I was a speck of annoying dirt on her shoe.

I look over her shoulder to see several girls that had this silver aura/ glow around them. The girls wore white shirts, silver jackets {I think the jackets are flight or bomber.}, silver camo pants, and black combat looked extremely healthy and graceful. They probably would look peaceful if they hadn't seen me. Instead they glared at me with eyes like a wolf hunting for prey. An auburn-colored hair and silver eyed girl that looks about twelve or thirteen walks up with confidence and a powerful aura. She was so beautiful that I caught my breath. The other girls bowed for her and show her respect. I think she's their leader, but besides, that I have no idea who she is. The first girl frowns bitterly.

"Thy shall kneel before the Lady of the Hunt, boy." She snaps. Lady of the Hunt? The leader says softly," He doesn't know who I am or much about Greek Mythology." The first girl frowns but still speaks," I am Zoe Nightshade, lieutenant of Artemis." " I am Lady Artemis, daughter of Zeus and Leto and sister to Apollo. I am the Goddess of the Hunt, Maidens, young youths, wilderness, the Moon, and Archery." "You mean Lady Diana?" I asked. "No," scoffed one of the girls. She was beefy and big with ginger hair. " She means Artemis." I blink. Why did I think she was Lady Diana? Who is Lady Diana? " Phoebe, be reasonable," Lady Artemis said." I have to take you in since My father had ordered it." Her father is Zeus, king of the Gods. Why would he order her to watch over me?
