Me: None of you guys needs to do this, but if you want, I will give you a free weapon.
Clarisse: Did she say new weapon?
Me: Duh…
Clarisse: WarriorAngelReads doesn't own Prissy Jackson Series or the Heros of Olympus. Rick Riordan does.
Me: Clarisse, how about I give you another spear? That way you can torture Percy in many ways now.
Clarisse: Sure!
Me:*gives her another spear*
Percy: Why do you hate me so much?
Me: How about you think of how many times you complained to me just because of one little thing?
Percy: …..
Me: If you complain again, I will kill you.
Leo: Dude, you better run.

Shannon POV
"I don't get how you still can't fire a bow!" Everest laughed, rubbing his head. I have been practicing for hours, and I just couldn't find the perfect angle. We were practicing archery at our palace archery range.
"Maybe it is because I am too unpredictable. I am like the sea" I answered. I heard a pop behind us, Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano, who is my mom, Perseus Jackson, who is my dad, and Aunt Artemis appeared.
"Who would have know that the your little seashell will inherit my skill at the bow." Dad said. Mom snickered, and punched him in the shoulder.
"At least you can hit the target now." Mom said.
"Shannon, you need a bow that is connected to the sea, because you are unpredictable, like your dad and grandfather. Ask Poseidon if he has any other bows that connect to the sea." Artemis suggested. I asked Grandfather is there were any other bows.
Yes, this is a good one. This belonged to Amphitrite when she used it. My little seashell, you can use this. Poseidon said, and he made the bow teleport to me. It was a beautiful one, simple celestial bronze bow, with small waves made out of Athenian silver at the tips (The same one that is used to make the Mark. I know it isn't a real thing, but whatever.). It also came with a quiver of silver arrows that the Huntresses use.
"Artemis, how about we let Shannon and Everest join? We have to make Everest swear the oath though." Dad asked.
"Okay, but Percy, you can only allow a few more males into the hunt." Artemis said.
"Jeez, Moonbow, you are really stubborn with rules."
"Everest, you have to promise to not try to seduce the Huntresses. You have as much contact as you want to Shannon. Thalia and I are the only ones you can have contact to, not counting your parents' in law." Artemis said, ignoring Dad.
"I swear on the River Styx to follow the regulations Artemis has set for me."
"Shannon, you just have to join. Also, we need to create a code name for Everest. Everest, Percy always wears a silver cloak when we recruit other girls. That way, the boys don't want to join to, hurt the girls." Artemis added.
"How about we just keep Everest? That already sounds like a code name." I asked.
"I insist on having a code name, for the others can easily….."
"Artemis, I think I should go by Mountain. Mount Everest is what I am named after." Everest cut in.
"I think that is a great idea." Reyna said.
"Shannon, try shooting the bow." Dad requested. I concentrated, and set my arms and legs the exact way that Everest told me. I shot the bow, and the arrow hit bulls eye! I silently cheered, and shot another arrow. Instead of the sound of an arrow hitting a target, came a sound of wood being split forcefully. I had split my first arrow! Yeah!
"We should go to the Hunt Camp." Percy called, and we teleported there.
"Aunt Thalia!" I cried when I saw a girl who wore a punk outfit. She turned around, and we ran to each other, and Thalia crushed me into a hug.
"My goodness Shannon! You are already grown and you now have a boyfriend!" Thalia cried.
"No, errr, that is my husband, Everest Cheathan. He is also joining the Hunt, under the codename of Mountain. I am joining as well because I need to learn how to shoot. I know how to, but I am like Dad." I corrected.
"Kelp Head is now better. He can split arrows now, and before, he could hit the white."
"Wait, your nickname for Dad is Kelp Head?"
"Yeah, when we were still demigods, I wasn't even in the Hunt, he seemed just like a person who had kelp for a head."
"I still think Dad has kelp for a head."
"Anyways, can you introduce me to Everest? I would like to see what he is like."
"Sure!" I dragged Aunt Thalia over to Everest.
"Everest, this is my Aunt Thalia. Aunt Thalia, this is my husband, Everest." I introduced.
"Soooo, I can see why you fell for him. He looks like Jason."
"Thalia!" I said, embarrassed.
"I need to go. See you two later!" Thalia called.
"Your aunt seems really cool." Everest commented. I laughed, and put my head on his shoulder.
"Yeah, that is true. When I was a baby, she gave me a magical sword that would later assist me in battle. It is the one you see in the sheath I am wearing now."
"Wow."
"Hey Everest! Shannon!" Dad called. We ran to him, and he gave is a hug.
"What is it?" Everest asked.
"Artemis pestered me to show you around the camp, or the usual way they set it. Over there is the tents, and you both are sharing one. The tent that you have is the smaller silver one, because the tent is magically expanding. It will be like a mini-house. All the huntresses share the tent with certain people. We eat food wherever, but most of the time we eat right where the curve of the moon is. The tents are shaped in a placed to be shaped like a moon." Dad said, pointing to where everything is.
"So, Shannon and I will be sharing a tent. We eat right where the midpoint of the moon is." Everest summarized.
"Yeah. We constantly move around, and the tents easily disassemble. You just say κατάρρευση, and the tent will collapse. It will expand when you say Σκηνή, ανοιχτή για μένα. When it is disassembled, the tent will shrink into a piece of cloth about the size of your palm." Dad kept on going.
"Dad," I said, interrupting his speech, "Can we see our tent?"
"Sure! The smallest one." We walked to the smallest one, went in, but it wasn't small. It actually the size of a small one-story apartment. A large-ish full bathroom, two rooms the same size, and in the beds were full size. I found a note inside the more girl like room.
Shannon, these bedrooms can change according to how you like it. You can also morph it together, and connect the beds. They decor is also changeable.
Artemis
"Nice!" I said to myself. Something told me that dinnertime is starting. I ran out of what seemed to be my bedroom, and ran straight into Everest, and I fell over.
"Ow!" I yelped as I landed on my elbow.
"Does Shannon need a kiss to kiss it better?" Everest asked in a baby voice.
"Oh stop it." I laughed, giving him a kiss in the check. We went out of the tent, and we were greeted, well, I was greeted. When they saw me hand in hand with Everest, they got upset.
"Milady, Lord Perseus, Lady Reyna, what is the man doing here?" Phoebe asked. I think it is Phoebe.
"Kowaski, that girl is my daughter Shannon, and the male is her husband. Don't you remember that Percy is allowed to let some loyal boys join?" Mom scolded. Kowaski pursed her lips and turned away. I sat down next to Mom, Dad, and Artemis.
"My little seashell, how was your first day?" Mom asked, giving me a hug.
"I think the Hunt is amazing! The design of everything is so intricate! I think Annabeth would like it." I gushed.
"Annabeth has had bad experience with the Hunt, so I don't really think that it would be a good idea."
"Oh."
A boom suddenly rattled the ground, causing most of the Huntresses who were drinking water drop their glasses. Everyone stood up, and grabbed the weapon that they used most of the time: the bow.
"Everest, Shannon, this isn't a giant. This is the Chimera, but only in its real form. It is about 100 feet tall. Stay back!" Mom called, reading our minds. The Hunt surged forward, but we stood back, and watched. I took one look at the great beastly thing, and I almost fainted at how terrifying it looked. It had this set of long, sharp, thin, dripping with poison, set of teeth, shortest ones about 50 feet long. It had a long body, the one of a lion, and there was another head of a goat sprouting from the butt. Yuck, sorry to those that just ate. The tail was that of a snake, long, scaly, and it looked like an arsenal of knives, ready to gut someone. I swayed in terror, and the monster suddenly stomped its foot, blasting the Hunt backward, and the thing started to make its way to us. I know that we needed to fight this on our own. We need to conquer this together.
"Everest! We need to fight it before it kills the Hunt! Bring out your bow!" I cried, taking out my bow, and started to shoot the arrows, concentrated. Everest yanked off his necklace, and started to shoot as well.
"It takes the most agony if you hit where the heart is for us on his body. That might be it's only weak point." Everest whispered, and I nodded. We started to aim for it's heart, and it kept on advancing to us. We kept on getting pushed back, farther and farther. I poked at Everest, sending him a mind message telling him to shoot at the same time as me.
3….2…...1, fire!, we opened fire at the same time, splitting other arrows, and therefore destroying it. The Chimera suddenly exploded into a dust devil, stopped, then went to Tartarus. I suddenly fell, and Everest had to catch me again.
"Shannon! Everest! That was awesome!" Thalia yelled, running to us.
"Did they just kill it?" someone asked, and that was not one of the Hunt. A figure emerged from the woods behind us, and Drew came to view.
"Yeah, so?" I snapped.
Awwww, my computer is going to die. So, sorry to cut this short! Please review, and shoutout to Dandelion~GriffinClaw for helping me in my previous stories, and I will see you later!
