Hey, guys! Spathi here! This is my first story, so don't judge too harshly, ok?
This is a Pertemis story, so if you don't like the pairing, don't read!

Prologue
Artemis's P.O.V.
Today's date is August 18, 2516.
It's been 519 years since he was born.
508 years since he retrieved the master bolt for his first quest.
507 years since he sailed the Sea of Monsters and found the Golden Fleece on his second quest.
506 years since he rescued me from Atlas and took the burden of the sky during his third quest.
505 years since he found his way through the labyrinth, and accidentally blew up Mt. St. Helens on his fourth quest.
504 years since he defended Olympus with only 70 demigods, defeating Hyperion, Kronos, and Iapetus (AN: Demigod Files!).
503 years since he united the Greeks and Romans, subsequently winning against many giants, such as Porphyrion, Polybotes, and Alcyoneus.
502 years since he was betrayed by his friends and family because of his half brother, Nathan, who caused him to become my guardian.
Flashback:
It was a normal day on Olympus. Meaning that most of the gods were arguing with each other, while the rest tried to ignore the noise. Suddenly, he bursts through the doors, kneels before my father, and asks to die. He tells the story of how he was betrayed by everyone he loved. After this, he again asks my father to kill him. Instead, my father decides to make him my guardian.
501 years since his half brother Nathan also became my guardian, and caused him to be shunned and forgotten once again.
Flashback:
The hunters were setting up camp when Hermes flashes in. He tells me that I am going to get an additional guardian. Two hours later, Nathan arrives.
Time Skip
Over time, the hunters warm up to Nathan. They call him big brother, and are always eager to talk to him. Our other guardian is forced to do all of the work, and is injured all of the time. But he never complained. Not even when Nathan and I started dating.
500 years since he sacrificed himself for me when Nathan tried to kill me, though I did not know it then.
Flashback:
Nathan and I are moving quietly through the woods, hunting for a monster Nathan had apparently seen. I lead the way through the dense foliage, Nathan trailing behind me. Suddenly, I hear a scuffle and a shout behind me. I turn around and see Nathan standing over him. He has a strange looking knife in his stomach. I ask Nathan what happened, and I am told that he was trying to kill me, but Nathan intervened.
400 years since I learned the truth of what happened that fateful day.
Flashback:
Nathan and I are at a council meeting. Today, Father plans on making Nathan a god. Not just any god, an Olympian. Father tells him to repeat after him: I, Nathaniel Thompson, δεσμεύομαι να κάνω το καλύτερό μου ως Ολύμπιο θεό. This means "I, Nathaniel Thompson, pledge to do my best as an Olympian god." After he says this, he would have to drink from the special nectar and ambrosia mix that makes you an Olympian God. He doesn't know this and yells, "Ha! I did it! My plan worked!". We ask him what his plan was, and he explains his plan to get my now dead guardian killed, and to become a god. It turns out that he was trying to kill me, then blame it on my ex-guardian. He drugged the entire camp with potions, and did the same to the hunters. My father then smites him.
Today would be his 519th birthday. On this day, we all honor him. After all he did, why wouldn't we?
What was his name?
It was Percy Jackson, guardian of the hunt, bane of Kronos, Gaea, and twice savior of Olympus.
I am broken out of my thoughts when someone flashes into the center of the room.
