Chapter 1
It was in the middle of the night. The moon is shining and the stars are out silently. The entire world is silent. Except for a man, running with his tired legs. Away from the death awaiting him and the bundle in his arms. He couldn't stop running. Because the bundle in his arms is another life. A blood of his own. He need to protect his own blood. His future. The baby didn't cried nor make a move. So, gentle and peaceful. He thought. But now, all he can do is run away from the creatures who wanted to devour them both. He was so tired. Even if he carries a bronze sword that can eliminate the monsters behind them. He can't even feel his muscles anymore. His beautiful raven hair is caked in golden dusts and blood. Only his sea green eyes can tell the determination to keep the baby alive. He can't ask help from anyone. Even from his family who thought he was dead. So, he decided to run and find his own fate. And now, he is on his fate. His fate to live or die. Only the fates know what will happen.
One snap from their scissors and his life is done. One person only knows he is alive. One person whom he loves the most and gave life to bundle in his arms. She's created because of their love for each other. But the king of drama is so over protective the she sent her to many missions. Most of them bringing herbs for Apollo or hunting monsters in an area. Nothing specific. She told him to run and wait for her. Where is she? It was five days since he told her to run and wait but nothing happened. He got angry. But he can't. He can't just leave her daughter in the middle of the forest. It's dangerous. He needed to run and wait for her. Leave the baby to her and fight the monsters who tried to devour them. That is his mission today.
Silver arrows arrayed behind him. Killing the monsters behind them. She is here. At least she can keep a promise. He thought. He sighed in relief when a familiar auburn haired woman stood in his way. He smiled. "I know you are angry at me, Percy," She said with her silver eyes looking at the man and the baby in worry. "I am," he answered her.
"Why are you smiling?"
"Because you kept a promise. That's all. But I need you to protect her," He gave the bundle to his lover. Her eyes shone in confusion. "Percy, what are you doing?"
"I'm doing what fathers supposed to do. Sacrifice. Keep her. Protect her. Care her. For me, Arty. Goodbye," He kissed her in her lips and vanished in thin air. "No, Percy! I can save-, "Too late he is gone. She tightened her hold to the baby who is crying for his father. The baby's eyes fluttered open. Silver like hers. Only her raven black hair and tan skin gave it away who is her father. "Both of you…" she whispered. Her tears falling to the ground. She never thought of it. All she need to do is persuade him to come with her in Olympus and make him immortal. With their daughter and raise her there. But those dreams ended with his loyalty.
…
In the middle of the golden bridge, a silver light glowed and disappeared. A woman appeared with a bundle in her arms. Her tears dried up and only a frown can be seen her. Her silver eyes full of longing and sadness. Her beauty glowed dark grey. She is so depressed of everything that happened earlier. She got to do what she need to do. She need someone to help her raise the child. Only Apollo, Hestia and Athena knows of the baby's existence. But she knows that this is the time she need to introduce her daughter to the council. For her safety.
It was a choice she has right now. She transport to the throne room and called the Olympians with her cries. All of them immediately appeared to their thrones with a confusion on their eyes. All of them saw what is in her arms. A baby.
Apollo's eyes bulge even Athena's and Hestia. They seem to be worried and shocked. "Sister…" Apollo is stopped by a warning glint in her sister's silvery eyes. He gulped. Zeus looked at her daughter and the baby. "Artemis, whose child is this?"
She can't speak. She stuttered. She looked at the child's opened eyes and a beautiful smile wash over her. Her nervous and worries drown away. "My child." That break all the loose. Her father look enraged but Artemis cradled the child in her arms protectively. A glare stopped Zeus from smiting the moon's spawn. "Who is the FATHER?!" he shouted in rage.
"Perseus Jackson," She answered. Poseidon look at her with shocked in his eyes. His grandchild. His own granddaughter. Silence corrupted the room. Not one ever dare to speak. Her tears started to fall again. "He…he sacrificed himself to save our daughter, Father. I don't know if he is dead or not," she cried.
"He's dead."
All of them look over to Hades. A sad smile curl to his lips. "No…"
"Yes. He just received Elysium just a seconds ago. I'm so sorry, Artemis," His head bowed down in response to his condolences with all the other heads bowed before her. Her father frowned and look over to the now, sleeping baby in her arms. "Can I hold…my grand…daughter? I will not smite her or harm her. I promise to the Styx."
That's…new to Zeus. She gave her baby to the King of the Olympus and he smiled. "What a magnificent child!" He chuckled. "She looks exactly like Artemis!" Is he a bipolar or what? Apollo and Hermes snickered at that thought. Even Poseidon love the baby. Hera looked at the child and cooed. All of the Olympians just want to hold the child all day. But time is time. She needs to do something. She look sternly to her father who is holding the baby in his arms with a smile she never saw in a millennia. "Father, I need to keep her safe. Even if she is half immortal," She said. All of them gasps. "Half immortal?" Hera asked. "She's my only daughter I have and Perseus is a demigod. I never knew my child have this ability after a month I gave birth to her."
"That's impossible," Zeus whispered. "Then we need to find a place for her to stay. A family to teach her the ways of mortals. A god who has a lover away from danger. We need to keep her safe from possible attacks…."
Apollo's eyes glowed green and ancient voice stop Zeus from his tracks. It look to the child and smiled. It was so sudden. Artemis's eyes bulged and glared. "Stop the glare, Phoebe Artemis. I know your child has a big role to the future." The ancient voice said. "Now for the prophecy..."
"A daughter of moon and seas,
Rebel in her own ways,
Arena of death and life is a sacrificed,
Love will prevail and won the game,
A man will rise in between the domains,
A war will bleed in both worlds by an enemy,
But one shall be a victor and blood will be together."
The green mists disappeared in his eyes. A gasps heard from one of the gods. The child of the moon's fate is the fate of their lives. Poseidon look to the child and to Artemis who look stunned to talk. "What's her name?" That alarmed Artemis and look at the sea god.
"Katniss."
…
A/N: This fanfiction is on my mind for a year almost. A crossover between Hunger Games and Percy Jackson series. Since Hunger Games is based on Greek mythology, why not do a crossover for this two?
Why Percy and Artemis pairing? Because I felt like I need a hunter that has the spike of personality from the real Katniss Everdeen. So, I pick Artemis to be the mother. For Percy, because they make a good pair.
IS it still Peeta and Katniss? Yes. It is.
Did anyone got punished for Artemis breaking her vow? Yes. By Percy's death. But a twist will pull on this story.
For now, I gave you the first chapter. I hope you like it. Because the next update might take long. This is just the beginning. Ask questions and I'll answer it on next update. Good bye!
