AN: Yo this is my first fanfiction. I'm just starting out so here we go. I'll see you guys at the end of the chapter!
The sun was slowly setting on a beautiful, sunny summer day.
Artemis went on to recount what she had done today. She went to Olympus to visit her father Zeus and her brother Apollo. She also went to check up on her Hunters. The Hunters were overjoyed to see their old leader. Their new leader, Thalia, sped to Artemis with a powerful, yet loving hug.
"Artemis! It's been forever since we've seen each other!" exclaimed Thalia.
Artemis replied with a smile, "As with you, my fellow sister. How are the hunters doing?"
"We've been doing excellent. We had a hunt following the Nemean Lion. These hunters have been doing a good job." Thalia said proudly.
"That's always good to hear. You must have pounded them hard with training it seems" said Artemis.
"Yes! Of course! It's all thanks to you, milady. Not to sound rude, but what's the occasion for coming? You never seem to visit these days." Thalia wondered.
"It seems I have gotten quite lonely and I miss having an eternal sisterhood." Artemis said with a sigh.
"Milady, I miss you too. We all do." Thalia said sadly. "Anyways how is little, cute Joey?" Thalia said curiously.
Artemis smiled after hearing that name.
"Joey is doing great. I love that little sucker so much. Oh gods! As a matter of a fact, Joey almost out of school! I should be going, Thalia." Artemis said with a hurried expression.
Thalia smiled. "Of course, I'll see you soon! And it better be soon!"
Artemis smiled and embraced Thalia. "I promise, Thalia."
Artemis arrived at Joey's school, Goode Middle School just 5 minutes before final bell rang.
Goode Middle School is a middle school for half-bloods. Goode Middle School was founded by Paul Blofis after retiring from Goode High and opening a new school just for half-bloods. These half-bloods would be training on the outside world as well as their Greek mythology and language. These kids were fully aware of their high blood status, but were not named their godly parent. These students would be staying at Goode Middle School until they were 13 and graduated. (Claimed by their godly parent) They would then stay at Camp Half-Blood for the summer and would choose to stay year round, or attend high school in the mortal world.
Joey opened the door to the Toyota Camry and beamed at Artemis.
"Hey Mom!" Joey said with a kiss to her cheek.
"Hello Joey. How was school, sweetie?" She replied with a kiss to the cheek as well.
"It was so cool! Mr. Chiron came in from Camp Half-Blood with a preview of the orientation film from Camp Half-Blood. It was so cool! I can wait till I'm 13." Joey exclaimed.
"That sounds lovely, buddy." Artemis smiled at her son.
Joey Nico Jackson was 11 years of age, with raven black hair and silver eyes like the moon. Unlike most kids of Goode Middle School, Joey knew her godly parent was, and that was Artemis. Joey was Artemis's pride and joy. She truly loved her son and would do anything for him. Joey had the same laugh that Percy did. Every time Artemis truly looked into Joey, she saw Percy in him.
Artemis pulled up to their medium-sized house a few minutes away from Goode Middle High. Their house was very complex and designed beautifully. Leo had built the house accustomed to them. The house was a 3-story house. The house had an outdoorsy type of feel to it. Leo proceeded to give Joey some tricked out toys and video games in his custom room. Artemis, though, requested it that it would remind her of her past life with the Hunters. The living room had a big coach that could hold three people and in front of the couch was a giant fireplace with an everlasting hearth. (Hestia's doing.) Over the fireplace was a flat-screen TV used for watching movies on movie night. Artemis hated using the TV, but she could never say no to pizza and ice-cream on movie night.
Artemis had ordered pizza and brought out the ice-cream to eat with Joey on Friday night. They decided to watch one of their favorite movies, "Despicable Me." Once they were settled in, they started to watch the movie.
"Hey Mom, can you pause the movie for a sec?" Joey asked melancholy.
Artemis paused the movie and looked at her son with a concerning look. She could see in his eyes when something was bothering him, much like Percy.
"What's wrong Joey?" Artemis asked.
"Mom, how was Dad like?" Joey asked seriously.
Artemis was about to yell at Joey, knowing that was a closed topic, but the look in his eyes reminded her of Percy and she decided to open up.
"Mom, you never told me of him, and I was just wondering. Did he leave us?" Joey asked again with his serious face.
"No no no no Joey. Don't say that. Your father never abandoned us." Artemis said.
Joey had a confusing look on his face. "Ok… Well since I know nothing about him. Tell me everything about Dad and how you met him."
Artemis looked into her son's face hesitantly and finally gave in.
"Alright, I'll tell you how I met your father." Artemis said after taking a deep breath. "Let's start off with his name."
"His name is Perseus, Percy Jackson."
The current that takes one by surprise.
