Prolouge
A man with raven black hair stood before fourteen beings each of which looked sad to see him, "Please carry our powers with you….." The man who spoke had a black cloak shrouding him from light almost as if he was just a black vortex void of any life, "We, the Primordials, have blessed you with all of these powers; train well and maybe one day you can hope to defeat…." The man said before an earthquake shook the room, "You must go now….!" The man said as he sent a blast of pure energy towards the raven haired man causing him to fly out of the room and into an abyss.
The raven haired man was floating through space confused. He had no idea where he was, but was enthralled by what he saw. Planets floated around him many seemed to dazzle with life while others were void of any and all life. He passed stars that shined blue and orange and eventually he found one that was all gold causing him to fall in love with the planets, but he had to go. He continued shooting towards a small planet and eventually he made it into the planet's atmosphere. He continued falling until he fell into a mountain and was surrounded by lava. The man soon felt exhaustion overcome him and he passed out.
_1000 years later_
A rumbling could be heard as a village looked horrified at the mountain before them. It soon began to shake and eventually erupted causing the whole village to panic. Lava and molten ash over took the small village and the towns people screamed as the very flesh on their bodies melted at the intense heat coming from the mountain. A while after the village had been destroyed a man walked through the scorched streets staring at the ash around him.
The man had raven black hair and deep sea green eyes that almost looked emerald. He had muscles that could be seen even through his loose fitting clothes. He was tall, about six foot three, and he seemed to walk past the village oblivious to the smell of burnt flesh. After a while of walking he came upon another city that mystified him.
Buildings that were carved out of stone stood tall and proud. There were several men running around as a leader instructed them to do so. The man continued to walk through the city and eventually a scout found him and attacked him, "ποιος είσαι?" The soldier said as he grabbed the man and put his hand behind his back, "Δεν θα ζητήσω και πάλι, ποιος είσαι?" The man still spoke in a language that confused the raven haired man, "Θα σε πάρω να Λεωνίδα και θα ασχοληθεί μαζί σας." The man said as he pulled the raven haired man along.
Several minutes later the man had dropped the raven haired boy on the stone floor, "Σπάρτακος, ποιος είναι αυτός που μου έφερε?" A tall man with brown hair said to the scout, who had brought the raven haired boy in, "Κύριος Λεωνίδας, αυτό το αουτσάιντερ ταξίδευε γύρω από την πόλη, έτσι τον έφερα εδώ για να σας." The scout said as he bowed, "Ποιος είσαι ο γιος?" The brown haired man said as the raven haired man looked at him.
"I have no idea what you are saying." The raven haired man said as the king laughed, "Ah I see you speak Latin, very well, my name is Leonidas the person who brought you in is Spartacus he is one of my finest warriors." Leonidas said gesturing towards the scout, "Can you tell us your name and what you are doing in our fine city?"
The man looked at Leonidas and frowned, "My name… it is something I do not remember, and I recently have awakened from my slumber and journeyed here first." The man said as Leonidas smiled.
"Very well, I will take you in as my son, and your name shall be Perseus." Leonidas said as the man nodded, "As well, we shall train you in the arts and combat, and the ways of the Greeks." Perseus smiled and Leonidas turned towards Spartacus, "Καλώς ήρθατε στην οικογένειά μου Περσέα!" Spartacus lifted his shield and bowed.
_13 years later_
"Perseus you're fighting is beyond me." Spartacus said in Greek as Perseus laughed at his teacher, "You laugh at this, but it is true you have been gifted by the gods with faster learning." Spartacus was about to say more when trumpets were sounded near the deepest hole.
"Spartacus as much as I enjoy this trivial matter I believe a messenger has come let us
hurry to the pit." Perseus said as the two rushed towards the trumpets sound. As they came to the pit they observed a Persian messenger talking about the army that would befall Sparta if the city did not hand itself over to the Persians.
"You see Leonidas it would be your best interest to forgot your title as King and give it to
my immortal lord."
Perseus looked at the man who had claimed him as a son with wandering eyes
"Father…" There was so much he wanted to say, but when the king turned to look into the deep sea green eyes of his son Perseus knew his father was going to do something rash.
"Look around you Persian." Leonidas said extending his hand towards the people around the pit, "These people are my brothers and sisters at arms, and these people are free; they are not some slaves for your silly 'immortal' king…"
"Speak your next words carefully King of Sparta." The Persian stated with a small grin that made the king frown.
Leonidas pulled his sword out of his scabbard, "Oh Persian, I have indeed chosen my words carefully." He pointed his sword towards the messengers throat, "I'll send a message to your king.
"You dare threaten a messenger?!" A yell escaped the old man, "This is outrage, propaganda!"
The king laughed, "My intentions have been set since the moment you stepped foot in my kingdom to threaten me; this is my declaration of war!" Leonidas through his sword down and the kicked the messenger into the pit.
His screams seemed to coincide with his guards as they to were tossed into the giant hole. Perseus looked at his father with respect and admiration, but sadness, "Father what now?" He asked as the king turned to his son.
"Perseus, the answer is quite simple, we prepare."
_several months later_
Percy stood next to King Leonidas as they prepared their troops to fight the 'god' of Persia. They stood on an open field with their enemy to the north and some three hundred Spartans behind them; each thoroughly trained by the best of Spartans. Many looked young but all knew what they were getting themselves into.
"Spartans!" King Leonidas roared making sure each of his men could hear him, "Tonight we prove that even some 'god' king can bleed!"
Bashings of spears on shields could be heard as the deadly Spartans clambered together looking at their opposition. Across the battlefield in a throne fit for a god sat a brown skinned man. He looked at the Spartans with a smirk before speaking from across the desert.
"King Leonidas I will give you and your strong men this opportunity." He waved his hand in a panzy matter before opening his sly eyes, "Put down your weapons and submit, join me and my kingdom, and help rule the world!"
Leonidas looked at Percy before looking at his men and nodding, "Silly Persian 'god' my men and I have chosen victory over some petty defeat." He shouted causing everyone to shake except for Percy, "Know your place Xerxes!" A very sinister red aura surrounded Leonidas enveloping him in the spirit of war he shoved all his might into a throwing spear and chunked it at the head of the 'god'. The spear was so fast no mortal could have dodged it, and by the luck of the God's Xerxes barely tilted his head. However, the spear clipped his ear causing red hot blood to spill from his head.
"KILL THEM." Xerxes roared as arrows flew towards the Spartans blanketing the sky in darkness.
"Turtle Formation." Leonidas calmly stated as his men hoisted their shields in a dorm formation which was used to block the arrows as they harmlessly bounced off of the golden shields, "CHARGE!"
The battlefield was a mess as every Spartan seemed to plow through the army of Persia like they were butter. As they made it closer the enemy seemed to get larger as the Spartans kept going through their enemies. Percy seemed to be a whirlwind as he slaughtered anyone who got in his way heading towards the throne.
However, left and right spartans kept falling, dying at the hands of the persians which infuriated Percy to try harder, and kill even more people. His sword slid through the enemy's armor as if it was thin air. Eventually Percy and Leonidas made it to the tower which Xerxes sat upon.
Leonidas charged the tower steps which made Percy yell after him, "Wait!" He cried as the king of Spartans was cut in two by five assassins cloaked in darkness.
"Look spartan your king and your people have perished even though you have reached my throne!" Xerxes started laughing before waving his hand to the assassins to end the spartans life.
. "You…" Percy said as vapor escaped his mouth making him look like a dragon, "You all should DiE!" The assassins started to come towards Percy but before they could move each of their heads exploded causing brain matter to spew all over the steps. Xerxes face contorted as it looked like Percy was just walking up the steps.
"W-what are you?" Xerxes voice said to Percy who did not reply as he just continued to casually walk up the steps, "S-stay back!" Xerxes was fearful of his life as Percy stood right in front of him, "W-wha.." There was no more of Xerxes he just ceased to exist there were no ashes, no blood, just no traces of life.
"Puny fake God." Percy looked at the emptiness, and then turned his head back to the desolate desert. It took him three seconds to kill everything in his sight. There was no more happiness no more people just emptiness, emptiness and Percy. Tears flowed out of his eyes even though he did not know he was crying. He started picking up all of the Spartans bodies, and placed them on their shields. That is when everything hit him and he cried.
He cried for so long it was surprising the desert had not turned into an ocean. He looked at his dead comrades and shook his head in recognition. He took out his gladius, and began carving the names of each soldier making Leonidas's name the largest. He then cried until he nodded his head. He snapped his fingers and all of the bodies and shield disappeared and he knew where they were. He knew that they were home.
The years passed quickly and Percy wandered the Earth equipped with his sword and sorrow. He tried to think less of the world but occasionally he would save a person or two. Until almost 406 years had passed and he ended up laying in an alleyway on a fateful day.
"Hello sir." A man with stunning eyes and brown hair said as he held out his hand to a young boy maybe 14 years of age, "Would you like a better life?" Percy looked up at the man and gave him a smile before taking his hand and pulling himself up.
"My name is Spartacus." The older gentleman said as he looked at Percy expectantly.
"Percy." The boy said and Spartacus smiled.
"Well Percy follow me!" He then went through the city of Rome with Percy following in tow. This continued on for several years as Spartacus learned of Percy's slow aging because he did not look a day over 14! Spartacus put it past him and taught Percy everything he knew.
"Spartacus, why all those years ago did you pick me up in the alley?" Percy said as the man smiled at his favorite warrior.
"Well, I had lost my son awhile back to an evil man, and I just found you and everything fell into place." Percy nodded his head at this, "I wanted to make sure you knew how to defend yourself."
Percy smiled at his answer, but what occurred next changed him, "Spartacus we have been found out by the Italians!" A man carrying a bronze gladius told Spartacus.
"Gods." Spartacus said as he looked at Percy, "Get out of here, and.." Three men ran into the room with torches and scimitars. Spartacus jumped in front of Percy without a moment's hesitation.
"Spar-."
"Get outta here Percy I can't le…"
A sword then appeared through Spartacus's gut, and a demonic laughter filled the air, "That felt good as a champion of…." He never got to finish as the man and his friends did not have their heads anymore. Percy had just fallen to the floor nursing Spartacus's head in his lap.
"Don't leave me too." Percy sobbed as another comrade started to faint into the nothingness that was death.
"Ahhh, Percy don.. Don't cry." Spartacus spit up blood as he looked at Percy, "You would have been… been such a great son…. now live." He said as he pushed Percy away from his body.
Percy had made up his mind and knew exactly what he would do. He would become like Spartacus and lead a legion. He took out his gladius and etched Spartacus's name right next to Leonidas's name.
"I won't forget you… dad."
It was not for another 32 years until Percy was doing the impossible by leading Legio XIV Gemina through a massive battlefield, "Not a single one of you will die for that I swear." He roared as they charged the field. With great tactical leadership the 14 year old boy led the Legion to victory… without a single casualty. After the successful battle he lead his men back to Rome, and good news spread fast. Caesar wanted to see the cohort, and the men all walked to the palace.
"Welcome!" Caesar said as all the men bowed towards their king, "As usual Percy you have done another victorious deed by keeping every man alive!" There were several cheers as Caesar held his hand for people to quiet down, "As our youngest Praetor what is it you wish anything in my power I will give." He said this and there were many gasp but Percy smiled.
"Friend I wish for one thing, retirement." Percy said which offered even more gasps, "I have seen enough war for awhile, and I know you and your men will be strong even through my absence."
"Very well then Percy." Caesar waved his hand and music started playing, "We shall have a feast to celebrate the retirement of our Praetor!" There were cheers from all over, and Percy smiled and laughed as his men hoisted him on their shoulders. The years made Percy wander around yet again.
Over the years he trained with the vikings, genghis khan, Oba Nobunaga, the Iga ninjas, and the Apache warriors. That leads us onto his story we start with our adv- (oh wait lol)
On a regular trip around the forest Percy found an unusual sight; two powerful beings were arguing with each other, and Percy knew exactly who they were, Gods. As he got closer he knew that they had put up enchantments to keep lesser beings away, and that is when Percy realized he probably should not have walked up to the two.
"Brother-." The one who was speaking stopped and looked at Percy. The immortal had sea green eyes, and windswept hair much like Percy's. The other man was dressed oddly and had a look of death around him as his charcoal black eyes pierced the soul of the boy while his long hair was swept back.
"Who might you be?" The one with green eyes said kind of agitated at the fact that a young child had walked in on a very important conversation.
"My name…" Hesitant at first to speak, "...My name is Percy." Percy stated as he could feel the Gods trying to read his mind which made him smile, "Please, you can not read my mind, so please quit trying."
"Who's godly child are you?" The black haired man said which caused Percy to frown making the man also frown, "You don't know?"
"My family was brutally killed in front of me." Percy said as the two looked at him strangely, "My birth parents are dead, and I am just passing my time by wandering around this world."
The green eyed man looked at the other man and it seemed as though they were having a mental conversation. Percy coughed and the two looked at him, and both smiled, "Great idea." The death man said, "My name is Hades and that is Poseidon."
"So the god of death and the god of the sea." Percy said with a finger on his chin, "What can I do for you two powerful beings?" This caused them to laugh and nod.
"Listen Percy we want to do something for you." Poseidon held up his hand and blasted energy at him while Hades did the same exact thing, "We want to make you our champion."
This caused Percy to stare blankly at the two, "What does that mean?" He said confused at the term, and that is when he felt it a stronger connection to the ocean and to the dead, "Oh...I understand."
Poseidon and Hades nodded before Poseidon shrugged, "Well I have to go...take care Hades!" Hades shook his head before looking at the boy named Percy.
"Well what are you waiting for, let's go." Hades said to a confused Percy. Hades pointed to a shadow, "Walk in." Percy nodded and stepped into the portal starting his life as a champion to Poseidon and Hades.
(I like this idea better than before)
Percy stood looking at a 6'2 man with messy black hair that seemed to just stay there no matter what he did. Created through years of training he had a body sculpted from rock. His eyes were the deepest sea green that anyone could ever see with a gold ring around the iris. Though he had a long scar from his mouth to his nose in a crescent shape. He looked 'utterly beautiful' according to Persephone. He laughed at the thought.
Percy picked up a pair of dark blue jeans, and a tight blue and black shirt. The next thing he added to his attire were a pair of black converse shoes and an enchanted pitch black hoodie with blue tribal markings on it that made it so when he put his hood on his facial area became black and the hood would not come off without a strong force acting on it, "Well time to go see uncle Hades." He said as he willed his armor and weapons to vanish.
"Ah Percy, are you ready to go to camp?" Hades said as Percy walked through the huge iron doors of the throne room, "I will miss you." He said with a smile, "And I you." Percy said returning the kind gesture, "As you get to camp I want you to act as you know nothing and since I have blessed you I intend on claiming you so that Poseidon does not have to." He said with a grin, "I will see you soon son." He muttered as Percy put his hood on and walked through a shadow portal.
The screams of the damned could be heard as Percy walked out of the portal only minutes away from the camp. He jogged for a couple of minutes until he arrived at the gate to camp Half-Blood. He grinned slightly as the people who greeted him seemed a little scared. For as he walked through the camp's entrance a burst of darkness erupted over his head and the symbol of a demonic helm appeared.
"Hello I am a son of Apollo my name is Will Solace and it seems you are a child of Hades." A blond boy said as he approached Percy, "Who might you be and how did you know how to get here." He said questioning Percy who smiled under his shroud, "My mother told me how to get here, she is deceased now though, and she always spoke about this camp and that one day I would have to come here alone." Percy stated in a low voice and made it sadder as he said the word alone 'I have to give thanks to the acting skills of William Shakespeare.' He thought with a smile, "Well then…" Will said completely lost for words, "I guess I will show you around then." He said leading Percy around showing him all the cabins, were they would eat, the big house, and the arena, "Tonight is capture the flag Nico will tell you that." He said before looking surprised, "Oh ya there's one more child of Hades his name is Nico he should be in the cabin." He finished as Percy walked to the cabin.
Of course Percy already knew this as he had saved Nico and his sister; the latter of whom decided to join the hunters of Artemis as she wanted to get stronger. Percy saw Nico a lot as he trained him a little bit causing Nico to see Percy as a brother. To an extent Percy shared the feeling as he was adopted by Hades, and with the power of Poseidon made him a strong adversary and a great teacher.
Opening the door he was greeted by an amazingly elegant room. The floor was made of pure black wood making the red wall stand out even more. There were two beds in the cabin one with Nico on it and the other with nothing near it, "Hey Percy how ya been." Nico said with a grin as Percy sat on the empty bed, "Good what about you." Percy replied as he laid down, "Good, good I will explain some things about camp you may not know." Nico said as he sat up from reading a book on strategies, "Every Friday night there's a game of capture the flag, and in the morning at breakfast your cabin is graded to see who has the neatest cabin." He said letting the info sink in, "Tonight in honor of you coming I challenged the camp to a capture the flag competition." He said which made Percy grin, "And guess who showed up, The hunters of Artemis they have never lost and now they have the rest of the camp with them." Nico said now laughing like a maniac, "The best part is dad is coming to watch." That surprised Percy but he was grinning to, "Time to show them who's boss." Nico said as he heard the dinner bell, "This way Percy let's go to the pavilion together." He finished as they got up to leave.
As they entered the pavilion everyone was shocked to see two gods in one place. Well more shocked to see the lord of the Underworld then Artemis who was here with her hunters. They were even more surprised at his words, "Nico, Percy how great it is to see you two!" He said hugging Nico then Percy that is when Artemis caught glance of this, "Hades what are you doing here?" She said in her beautiful voice, "Oh as it is I am here to watch my two sons destroy you all in the capture the flag game." He said in a happy attitude, "Lord Hades I do believe Nico is a capable warrior, but I do not believe him capable enough to beat this camp and carry his brother around on the battlefield." Someone said in an arrogant tone, "Haha boy you could take lady Artemis for all I care you all would still be decimated!" Hades replied as he, Percy, and Nico sat at a table made of Onyx and their favorite dishes appeared.
The boy looked shocked that Hades had made a proposal such as that, "You believe Nico of being able to handle a god and a camp of half-bloods?" He said laughing a little bit, "Boy I have more than one son they both are here so why do you refer only to Nico?" Hades said motioning towards Percy, "He does not appear to be much and he only just got here." The arrogant boy said, "And he hides his face behind a shroud of darkness." He finished happy with his statement. Percy started laughing the first anyone had heard from him, "This is great, this is great." He said as he dumped the rest of his food into the fire. Hades and Nico joined in on his laughing and headed for the capture the flag zone leaving everyone curious at the boy who started laughing, "Does he think this a joke?" A girl sitting next to the boy who was speaking said, "Thy voice tis it thy boy from that time Artemis?" A girl with a tiara on her head said, "That would be impossible that was 400 years ago." Artemis said with curiosity and a shiver.
"Ha it has been awhile since I had a run in with the hunters." Percy laughed as he and Nico waited for Chiron, "He will tell us when we can start preparing." Nico stated as Percy got up to scout the area. A while later Chiron came back and started giving a rundown of the rules, "No killing, no seriously fatal wounds; the object is to get the flag back to your side using any tactics." He said as he continued, "You may capture anyone who has surrendered or become unconscious, any questions?" Chiron asked as the two children of Hades shook their heads.
Percy smiled, "You ready Nico?"
"You know it." With that Percy took the flag and they walked to set it up, "I was thinking the weird formation over their." He said pointing towards what Nico knew as Zeus's Fist, "Ok." Nico said as Percy climbed up high and placed the flag in a matter of seconds, "You have to teach me what you learned with the ninjas dude." Nico said in awe, "Maybe, but in the meantime it is time to prepare our armor." Percy said as darkness covered his body replacing his clothes with a pitch black set of armor that seemed to be made out of the nothingness one sees when they close their eyes. The helm was crafted to that of a menacing dragon with horns, his gauntlets appeared to be claws of a terrifying demon, the breastplate was forged to that of a Spartan's armor showing off his immense eight pack, and his boots hugged his legs and feet making them almost one. Nico shook his head and put his armor on similar to Percy's but instead of a dragon helm he had a standard helm.
"Gets me every time." Nico said as he pulled out a stygian iron blade. Percy reached out his right hand and the sword of Oba reforged with stygian iron appeared in his right hand, "We wait for the conche to be blown and then we start." Nico said as Percy discussed the battle plan with him. Nico would guard the flag with a legion of undead and Percy would walk straight to the enemy's flag and win, "I summon Legio XIV Gemina to the command of my brother and comrade in arms Nico." Out of the ground stepped Percy's old comrades as they took up position around Nico, "This… this is going to be so much fucking fun." Percy said hearing the conche blast.
"It can not be…. It just can't." Artemis shivered tears forming in her eyes as she and her hunters stood frozen at the sight of Percy walking straight forward mowing down anyone that got in his way, "Ah the most beautiful lady that has ever existed; Artemis it has been a while." Percy whispered making sure only she heard it as he hit another kid unconscious, "It has been over 400 years since I last saw you why are you still alive?" She said surprised, scared, angry, and happy all at the same time, "There was this garden you see." Percy muttered from behind his mask.
"Lady Artemis who is this?" The boy from earlier said to the goddess, "He does not seem that threatening why are you not attacking?" Artemis looked at the child and snarled, "Boy you will not speak to me in that manner this man is an impeccable foe." She said as Percy stopped in front of her, "Someone you could not hope to defeat." She stated, "I doubt that." The boy said arrogantly as he took up arms against Percy.
"Really then I guess I will hurry up with you so i can get on with my prize." Percy said with bloodlust as he looked at the boy in front of him, "I will give you one chance to get knocked unconscious or have a broken arm then get knocked unconscious." Percy said with a grin as the boy looked at him, "Neither you loser." He said running at Percy who just put his weapon in a sheath on his back, "Wrong answer." He said as the boy running at him just started running in slow motion. Percy walked straight forward and grabbed the wrist the boy was going to use to swing at him. Gently disarming him he grabbed the boy's left arm and, snapping it in half, knocked him out.
Artemis looked in awe as the boy fell to the ground. It had hardly been a second and Percy had broken the boy's arm and knocked him out, "How do you want to fight Arty?" Percy said smiling at the goddesses reaction to his nickname, "Take that back, you have no right to say that after what you did!" She screamed as she looked back at her girls, "Close your eyes." She commanded and Percy sighed, "Listen Artemis, I know I need to explain things but right now I have a game I need to win." Percy looked at the infuriated goddess, "And if you are going to do that I guess I'll have to try even harder." He grinned as Artemis started to change into her godly form.
"No, no none of that it would be no fun if you got to use that and I did not." He said as he just vanished reappearing behind Artemis and her hunters. He grabbed the flag and took off, "Oh no you don't." Artemis yelled as she took off after the sprinting Percy followed by her hunters.
He grinned and ran faster, "You. are. too. slow." He made sure every syllable was clearly laid out as she tried catching up, "No you are just ungodly." She said as she started to smile actually smile, "I wish we could run forever but that can not last." He said as he stepped over the boundary; successfully winning the game, "My love." He whispered as he walked towards Nico who had a pile of unconscious campers around him, "That was great boys, but I have to get to Mt. Olympus Zeus is raging again." Hades said pointing at the sky.
"That was fun." Percy said transforming back into his regular clothes, "Well here is the story I was hiding and you had summoned an old warrior to fight." Percy said to the nodding Nico. He walked away and so did Nico towards their cabin, "So what did she say?" Nico said as he grinned towards Percy, "What do you mean what did she say." Percy stuttered trying to avoid the question, "I remember last time you were with her you became friends and she kis…" Nico's face was replaced with a pillow, "Shut up." Percy yelled as a knock came to their door. Percy put on his hood and walked over to it, "Hello." He said opening it to see a hunter standing there, "My lady wishes to see you." She said leading him to the Hunters cabin, "Hey Zoe long time no see." He said walking through the door as Zoe looked at him, "Tis been for ever Perseus." She said walking up and hugging him, "Thy lady said to wait for her." Percy looked at the other hunters and grinned at their shocked expressions, "Zoey and I go way back same with Arty." He said tilting his head slightly to the right successfully dodging a rock that was thrown at him from the corner of the room, "Speaking of her." He said grinning as the women with auburn hair walked forward, "Take off your hood." She said sternly still smiling he looked at her; Percy slowly took off his hood. Everyone let out a gasp as Percy's wild hair stood out, "It is you." She whispered running up to Percy and hugging him tears soaking his shirt.
"Ya it's me." He said patting her head; the hunters looked at him and some reached for their bows. Zoe put a hand out to stop them as Artemis continued crying. It lasted for awhile until she finally stopped crying, "Where have you been!" She yelled at him and punched his stomach, "I cried because you left us." She said still punching him, "Arty I never wanted to...it was hard for me to I was devastated when my father told me what was happening in the Underworld, and that I had to help them stop it." He whispered trying to calm her down while making circles on her back as she continued to punch him softer abiet, "When he said that if I did not help them the whole world would be destroyed I only thought of you, and that is why I left." The hunters were listening to him and then listened to Zoe's story,
"When Artemis had found me and more hunters we went to the Americas to learn about thy new world that you see today and hunt a couple monsters that were causing trouble." She said letting it sink in, "This boy was camping in the forest at the time and we had run across him bathing in a river. Artemis shouted at him to put on clothes because he was disturbing her. He laughed and continued with his morning dip not startled at all by her. 'You dare defy me boy?' Artemis said to him as he looked up at her and grinned, 'No Lady Artemis I do not but you entered my hunting grounds and my bathing ones as well so I do not think I will stop bathing.' Percy said had said to Artemis, 'Boy I could turn you into a jackalope right now you know this right?' She said angry at that I of course had my bow drawn back ready to fire at him and he laughed, 'My dear beautiful Artemis your threats do not frighten me for I am but a mere hunter and if you were to turn me into a jackalope my father might not be so happy, but if it is to your liking I will help you with whatever you are looking for.' Percy had told her as lady Artemis looked at him shocked, 'Fine then, we seek shelter and a wolf monster named Lycan that has been hunting these lands.' Artemis had told the boy as he showed no fear, 'My lady do you think it wise that we trust this boy.' I said to her as she just looked at me, 'Whether you trust me or not I do not care; shelter that you seek can be found in the clearing over their as for Lycan he is dead.' Percy said as he lifted a pelt up to show the women in front of him."
Zoe stopped to make sure everyone was listening and she smiled as she saw them all sitting on beds and others on the ground as well as Percy smiling along with Artemis who happened to be leaning on his shoulder, "Artemis was amazed to say." This caused Artemis to scoff and Zoe to roll her eyes, "...the least and had invited the boy over to dinner at our camp as he showed up it seemed everyone tensed at the fact that a male was in our camp site. It did not seem to bother Percy though for when he got there wolfs were smelling him and licking his hand. This surprised us all as the wolf's usually attacked any male that entered, but they smelled the blood of Lycan and appreciated him for ending his life. He looked at everyone and noticed that we had yet to prepare dinner and he asked us what we wanted to eat. After coming to an agreement we requested spaghetti a new food found only in Italy a place where this boy should not have know about. He smiled and told us to stay right there. We were curious where he went until he came back with plates of spaghetti that fed us all. He told us the tale of his hunt for Lycan and how he ended his reign of terror over a nearby indigenous village."
Zoe looked up and most of the girls were seriously into the story looking at Percy and back to Zoe waiting for her to continue, "The fact that he had freed a village made Artemis curious and asked about it, 'Well my lady they wanted to have me married off to their most beautiful daughter but I had to refuse for I could not be married to someone I did not deserve.' He said to us sadly and Artemis further pushed him on the question, 'Well I am a terrible person for I have robbed many women of their husbands and I could not bring myself to marry someone with that fact.' It seemed my lady was stunned at his comment and he continued, 'I am a forgotten soul my lady I go where I must and I have never truly had a home only with my father that I see every so often do I truly have a home.' At his words tears seemed to roll down his face that is when my lady, moved by his words and actions, spoke, 'Will you accompany us then; we leave tomorrow morning at sunrise to hunt more monsters if you do not show I understand.' She said offering the boy a place amongst our family he smiled and said he would think about it. That is when I confronted my lady about it later that night, 'What are you thinking he is a male someone we are sworn to withhold.' I said to her as she looked at me with sad eyes, 'Zoe we are sworn to hold off men yes but this is no man he is a forgotten soul forced to travel from place to place ever longing for a family to truly love.' Her words struck my heart and I agreed with her." Percy snorted at this and whispered to only Artemis, "Admit it you wanted to ask me out." She punched him in the gut causing him to chuckle. His body was like stone, and thus felt just a tad push.
Zoey smiled as some girls had tears in their eyes as she was wiping aways hers, "We traveled all over the world with him for several years taking out monsters and rescuing women from the clutches of evil men, and eventually he earned our respect. One day I was walking towards the wolves to feed them when I saw Percy sitting on a rock, and Artemis approached him and I smiled at the sight. They seemed to always be together and that is when I saw it my lady leaned in and kissed him. I quickly gathered the girls at the time and told them and they all quickly drew a heart in front of Artemis's tent and put Artemis and Percy sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g." Percy jumped up and wickedly laughed, "I told you, you did it first." He yelled pointing his finger at the woman he loved. Causing a stern glare to come from Artemis. Who looked at a smiling Zoe.
As Zoe said that all the girls looked at Percy wide eyed and some started laughing at their for members antics, "Though one day after a successful hunt percy left a note that had said these words." She did not get to finish as Percy opened his mouth to speak, "Sisters I truly regret to tell you this, but in order to protect my father and everyone I love I must go away for a long time." He said with tears in his beautiful sea green eyes, "Everyone cried that day and Artemis was not seen for the rest of the day." Zoe finished as the girls looked at Artemis who had just went to sleep on the shoulder of Percy, "This is the man that Artemis loves." Zoe said to the girls who all looked at the blushing Percy, "And our big Brother." She said smiling at Percy, "I will tell you all about my stories another time, for the mean time I have this to say; the man that attacked Artemis is just an undead, Percy was hiding and the creature was summoned by Nico to get the flag." The girls looked at him astonished that he was not taking the credit for capturing the flag, "I will see you all tomorrow." He said picking Artemis up bridal style, and laying her down on her bed.
He put his hood on and walked back to the Hades cabin smiling, 'I can not belive I got to hold her in my arms again.' He thought as he opened the cabin door to Nico who was scrubbing the floors, "I see you like to keep the room clean right?" Percy said as he took off his shoes and began scrubbing down the floor with a rag Nico had tossed him. Soon after the room was sparkling the two friends laid down in their separate beds and let Morpheus take control.
Percy and Nico were awoken by the sound of a conche signaling breakfast, "Remember the story." Percy said to Nico who nodded as they got dressed and headed down to the pavilion. People seemed scared of the two brothers of Hades as they walked into the pavilion, "Are you the one who put Ryan in the medical bay with a broken arm during capture the flag yesterday?" A person who walked up to Percy scared said, "Me, no-o-o Nico just summoned a terrifying undead to go get the flag; well that is what he told me anyways because I was hiding." Percy said from behind his hood like a scared boy, "Oh, well then Nico you were terrifying." He said loudly as he ran over to a table full of kids to go say the news.
"Nice one." Nico said as they sat down next to each other at their table soon followed by the Hunters and Artemis. Percy lifted his head up as he heard, "Why are the Hunters sitting next to them?" Percy grinned from under his shroud, "Hello." Percy said so that only they could here, They all greeted him and Nico with a hello. Nico seemed to be fond of a girl named Thalia Percy chuckled to himself as he would have to ask him about her later, "How do you ladies know about my little brother?" Percy asked though he already knew, "Bianca" Zoe said quietly and Percy knew instantly, "I had almost forgotten about her she seems so happy in the Underworld." Percy said with Nico agreeing, "You knew her?" Zoe said as she looked at Percy, "Of course who else kept track of those two when they were kids." He said smiling to the Hunters. Percy looked around towards the other campers who seemed curious about the new kid, even though they had heard he had hid from the capture the flag game, "Why is he talking to the Hunters without getting turned into a jackalope?" A guy said as he scratched his head, "Must be a really, really nice guy."
Percy looked into the beautiful silver eyes of Artemis and sultry whispered loud enough for the campers to hear, "How were your dreams beautiful?" Some campers heard this and nearly choked, "What did he say?" Some muttered not believing their ears. The hunters laughed at the slightly blushing form of Artemis, "Perfect." She replied as Percy laughed, "Ok I have had enough who are you and why are you talking so friendly with the Hunters of Artemis?" A girl said standing up from a table, "What my name is Percy and I thought these were just campers I was just trying to be nice." He stuttered and the girl choked, "Nice?! You should have been turned into a jackalope by now with the comments you have made to them and why have you not?" She said fuming, "And why can we not see your face, what are you hiding?" She stammered out some campers agreeing, "Well to-o-o answer your first question I do not know why they have not turned me into a jackalope, and as your second question I have a hood on that is probably why you can not see my face." Percy stuttered out receiving a small kick from Artemis and a wink, "Why do you not take it off then?" She said and person just grinned under his hood, "I have scars from years ago and I do not wish to show them." He said sternly no hesitation in his voice.
The girl seemed defeated but satisfied for now and sat back down, "Nico are you ready to go back to the cabin?" Percy asked and Nico nodded they left swiftly after saying their goodbyes to the Hunters, "That one is loud!" Percy said taking off his hood, "Ya that is Annabeth one of the people who found Bianca and I at that school." Nico said and Percy nodded, "How about Thalia then I see you have a thing for her." Percy said and Nico threw a pillow at him, "It is not like that sure she is beautiful and man has she has got skill with a spear and sword too boot, and.. Damnit... just... I can't like her because she joined the Hunters. I mean I get along fine with them after I assisted them when you held up the sky even though they thought it was me, but they hate men so dating is out of the question." Nico stated as a matter of fact sighing at the end of his ramble, "Well then I will talk to Artemis about that tonight." Percy said laughing like a maniac. Nico facepalmed, "Anyways we have activities we can do today I scheduled rock climbing and swordfighting." Nico said with a grin, "Ah rock climbing." Percy said as he followed Nico to the course.
"The record is 3 minutes set by yours truly." Nico said as Percy already clicked the button at the top, "Make that a ten second set by yours truly." Percy said as he sat at the top, "Seriously Iga ninjas teach now." Nico said looking at Percy who grinned, "Alright young one do or do not there is no try." Percy said quoting a movie he saw with Nico in the Underworlds movie theater room that Nico had made Hades build, "First thing's first clear your mind." Percy said as Nico started doing so, "Now picture you have claws like that of a dragon...pump your inner energy into your palms materializing the claws and just climb." He said and Nico did just that and in about twenty seconds he was halfway up the wall before he fell down, "Hahaha that was only half of what I was going to say oh my gods ok after that force your energy into the wall, now try." NIco shook his head and did as he was told only this time he sat next to Percy after about forty seconds, "Good job now let's go do some swordplay!" Percy said and jumped off the forty foot tall rock wall and cracked the ground. Nico shook his head and climbed down the ladder.
"So is it just us two…?" Percy was about to ask as they came to the arena, "Guess not." He said as the Annabeth girl and her siblings sat in the arena, "Nico I hope you do not mind we wanted to practice as well and there was only you two so we were hoping to squeeze in." She said as she walked up to them, "No problem Annabeth I was just going to teach Percy here some swordplay." He said taking two swords from the armoury, "Those two are unbalanced are you sure…" She was going to finish but Percy and Nico walked off to the middle. After a quick 'teacher's guide' they began sparring. Percy did a slow slash to Nico's side and as soon as he came to block Percy changed directions and went for Nico's leg. This caused Nico to parry quickly, but Percy feinted. Percy quickly went for Nico's shoulder but was again blocked.
"Whoa he does not look like a beginner." Annabeth said and her siblings agreed as they watched the two fight. At first it seemed like Nico was winning but Percy quickly turned the fight around and ended with a sweep to the leg, "Good fight, but beginners luck." He said scratching his head which he and Nico knew not to be true. Annabeth was astonished no one could beat Nico not even Robert the son of Zeus who had been in the infirmary for a broken arm. "That was wicked." Will Solace said as he walked into the arena giving a fist bump to Percy and Nico. "What's next Nico want to do some Archery?" Percy said winking a little bit, "Sure." He said as they place the swords back and headed towards the archery fields quietly and sneakily.
"Alright girls today is competition day." Artemis said as the Hunters cheered. They fired beautifully but when the contest was coming to a close it was interesting to say the least.. After they were done shooting they smiled after a spec of dust got caught in Thalia's eye, and another in Zoe's they both missed their last shot. Artemis had shot all three into her target's bullseye and was grinning but curious why they had missed. That was until Three black arrows each pierced through Artemis's and split them in half, "Who is there!" Artemis said taking out an arrow.
"I wanted in on the competition as well." Percy's voice said as he and Nico both showed up, "Sorry I tried stopping him." Artemis shook her head, "I think only you would do this." She said as everyone started laughing; that was when another conche was heard which sounded that lunch had begun, "Well I will see you ladies later." He said as he and Nico vanished in darkness, "My lady what do you think of him do you still hold feelings?" Zoe said as the Hunters looked at Artemis, "What would you all do if I said I did." She said looking at the ground, "I would back you up." Zoe said as her sisters said the same, "Then you should know my answer, yes I do in fact have feelings for Percy." Artemis stuttered getting past her pride. The girls cheered and Zoe got a wicked grin, 'This will be fun.' She thought as the girls headed back to their cabin to get ready for lunch.
As dinner came around it seemed the Ryan kid had learned that Nico had actually summoned the thing that broke his arm and he sighed in relief his words were this, "I thought the new dude was a monster." How right he was, but that did not change one thing; that the Hades cabin had won the capture the flag game against an entire camp plus the Hunters of Artemis along with Artemis herself. So if not Percy then you could just describe the Hades cabin as being monstrous.

How right he was, but that did not change one thing; that the Hades cabin had won the capture the flag game against an entire camp plus the Hunters of Artemis along with Artemis herself.
Some were terrified by Nico while others were suspicious to their ties with the Hunters as they sat at the Hades table yet again, and they still acted as though they were friends. Most campers shrugged it off as Artemis having respect for Nico others not so much they caught Artemis staring into the void that was Percy's face. Some started spreading rumors and the camp was in a gossip fest.
Percy caught wind of this and laughed when he heard it, 'If they only knew.' He thought as he ate his viking feast and drank the alcohol he ordered that would taste like the mead of Leonidas, "You shouldn't drink at camp Percy." Nico said laughing as he drank a cup of wine, "It has no effect on me anyways." Percy said as he downed his fourteenth glass, "You're right but people are staring at you." He said as people looked at the demi-god who smiled from his shroud, "They are just curious." He said as he finished his plate, "Ya curious as to why you are drinking alcohol while you are fifteen." Zoe said exaggerating fifteen which made Percy laugh, "It is entirely not my fault. I enjoy all the pleasures of society just like everybody. "
"Tonights capture the flag is the Hunters and Hades cabin versus the Camp!" A person yelled as they entered the pavilion holding a parchment. Everyone looked at each other and then someone else came in, "Chiron has said that Nico can not summon the creature again." That made Nico laugh which made some people terrified, "Ok." He said and everyone calmed down. Percy smiled from under his hood, "I just got word from father, Nico it is time." He whispered into Nico's ear as they both started laughing, "Though he said something is going to happen that will surprise a lot of people." Nico nodded and they got up to get ready for capture the flag.
A roar pierced through the dense forest disturbing Percy from his meditation, "What the hell was that." He said pushing off of the earth and moving swiftly towards the loud noise. As Percy neared the edge of the forest he stopped and quietly approached a small patch of brush and peered through it. Standing in the camp in full body armor wielding a huge battle axe was the Minotaur. He was swinging at Hunters and Campers alike as they tried attacking the beast only for the weapons to harmlessly bounce off the creature. Percy looked closer at the beast and was shocked to see a prominent scythe on his head, 'He has a powerful blessing on him.' Percy thought as several swords clanged against the skin of the Minotaur; only to harmlessly bounce off his tough skin still only managing to anger the beast more.
The minotaur continued swinging his axe knocking campers away trying to find something, 'What is he looking for?' Percy thought seeing more campers flood out followed by Nico who was in his combat attire. The Minotaur looked at the crowed and charged, 'Nico then?' Percy collected as the Minotaur headed straight for his brother. Percy watched as Nico held off against the bone shattering blows of the Minotaur. He tried countering the attacks with small blows, but they had no effect on the Minotaur, "Come on Nico don't make me do this." Percy thought recalling that his armor was not put in his void storage still waiting to be polished on his bed. In a lucky turn of events a dark aura surrounded Nico, and each swing on the minotaur became a powerful blow completely decimating the health of the beast allowing Nico to win. A meeting was soon entailed which Percy could not attend, but let him rest in his room. Nico came back with a smile as he rambled on about being recognized which caused him to stop in his tracks.
"So are you going to show people your face yet?" Nico said to a laughing Percy, "I do not see why it should matter they should just get over it." Percy said as he put on his enchanted jacket. Nico laughed as they walked towards the pavilion. Whispers were going around as the two sat at the Hades table accompanied by the Hunters of Artemis. Zoe smiled a thought coming into her head. She whispered to the rest of the Hunters as they sat down. They smirked and all ordered the same thing spaghetti. Percy looked down taking the hint he also summoned a plate as well, "To my friends." He said as he held up his cup of 84' wine, "To our brother." They whispered causing Artemis to blush as she heard them say that, "Thank you." She said as they all sat down to eat.
"So, remember story time tonight; that Minotaur canceled capture the flag for us." Thalia said as she looked at Percy, "Alright, can I bring Nico as well I have been meaning to tell him some stories as well." Percy said looking at Artemis, "It is fine by me." She said as Percy smiled. He finished his meal at the same time Nico did and they both went off to scout the capture the flag zone for more monsters making sure any future events such as this did not happen, "Why did you do that man." Nico said to Percy, "Well it is time to get to know Thalia more." He said receiving a punch from Nico. Artemis, who had been following him went wide eyed, 'I never thought about the hunters in my blind love.' She thought as her hunters began to come close to her, "My lady why are we stalking them, shouldn't we just go talk to them?" Phoebe whispered as all the hunters filed in, "I was thinking about us." She said as they nodded, "If I am in love with a male there is a new rule." She said and the hunters were nodding their heads, "You are now allowed to date, but if they break your heart they will become a jackalope." She said to the shocked hunters who had just registered Artemis's words.
Everyone was standing there and finally Thalia said something, "Ok then so are we going to keep following them or what." Her eyes flickering to Nico, "Right." Artemis said turning around and walking straight into Percy, "You know if you wanted to follow all you had to do was ask." He said as he offered his hand to help her off the ground. She took it and he pulled her up fast and embraced her in a hug, "Thank you." He whispered as he looked at Thalia who had been staring at the form of Nico which was coming closer to them. She seemed to be in deep thought which put Percy's mind at rest.
"Ok since everyone is here we were thinking of placing the flag at the river for tomorrow's game." Nico suggested not trying to sound forceful as to not get the Hunters hating him. Some of the hunters who were shocked just nodded while Thalia began to speak, "Alright Death Breath sounds like a good plan." She said to Nico who blushed in embarrassment as some hunters laughed at his nickname, "Thanks Percy." Nico said as he glared at Percy causing the latter to laugh, "But thanks for thinking it was a good idea, Lightning Bug." He said throwing a comment back at her, "Walking corpse." She said grinning, "Thunder head." He said, "Zombie." Percy finally intervened, "Enough of this just get a room." He said and that made all the hunters giggle and the two goths to blush, "We have a game to win tomorrow any more ideas?"
After the swift conversation Percy and Nico headed back to the Hades cabin. Percy took off his jacket and started laughing, "Ya, she likes you dude." Percy said to a laughing Nico, "Sure, she does and I am a child of Poseidon." He replied as they changed into different clothes, "So, what were you talking about before I got there?" Nico said as he recalled Percy hugging Artemis for longer than usual and the small conversation he heard, "Well my good brother we are in luck or better YOU are in luck." Percy said as he stood up posing like a hero, "What did you do now." Nico said as he shook his head, "Well I overheard the hunters talking and you will be amazed at what I listened to, but that is for another time when I think you are ready." He said, "Tonight we are going to the Hunter's cabin." Percy said as Nico nodded.
Percy heard a knock on the door and opened it revealing a hunter, "Percy, Artemis wishes to see you and Nico now." She said leading a now cloaked Percy as well as a tank clad Nico to the Hunters cabin. As they entered Percy smiled, "Hi everyone." He said as he took his hood off, "About time you got here." Zoe said as she sat on her bed, "Ya I know." Percy replied as he saw Artemis beckon for him to sit next to her on her large bed. As he did so he saw Nico standing there awkwardly, "Well come on Death Breath don't just stand there, come sit here with me." Thalia said with a small blush as Nico thanked her and sat next to her with a blush of his own.
"Well I will get right into it then." Percy stated taking his seat next to Artemis, "I ended up in Sparta. They trained me and raised me as their own. I rose in the ranks and received the highest honor possible for a Spartan to receive, the rank of Enomotarch at the age of fourteen. I shared a drink with king Leonidas and the next day he lead an army that I followed close behind as he went to battle the god king Xerxes. After much bloodshed and the sign that showed that a god king could bleed the three hundred soldiers of Sparta died and I was devastated. Letting my rage ravage me, I ended every Persian life that had been on that battlefield that day, and left that land heading for a new home." Many people became scared and couldn't meet his eyes. Only Artemis, who looked at him in amazement, paid any heed to what he just said.
As Percy let that sink in Artemis clutched his hand harder, "Four Hundred and six years later, I am still fourteenish the gladiator Spartacus and I trained for days and I learned everything he could teach me and after his tragic death in Italy I had left their army. Thirty two years later I commanded Legio XIV Gemina, the people you fought at capture the flag, we secured many victories for Rome. Eight hundred and thirty three years later I ended up with the God Father Odin as i sailed the seas with him. Three hundred and seventy three years later Genghis Khan wanted to hear my past stories and in turn he trained me with his cavalry. One hundred and twenty one years later this blade came into my possession." Percy said revealing Oba's sword to the hunters, "I still use it today."
"Fifty two years later and I was with the Iga ninjas as they trained me in the arts of assassination. After three years I had left them and headed to the Americas; that is where I found the Apache tribe in Texas, where Lycan had been terrorising them for years. I was around fifthteen then. After many battles and feasts of victory, Lycan made his location known to me and I went to attack him alone. Though, as I defeated him he said three words which haunted me, 'I killed them.' I cried that night and buried every Apache in that camp all three hundred and seventy six of them. That is when I met this beautiful lady." Percy said which made the girls giggle and Artemis to hold his hand tighter, "After three years with the Hunt; I fell in love with her and I think she did too as we shared our first kiss together, but the Fates would not let it last as they whisked me away to protect the underworld for four hundred and eighty four years, but I said 'fuck you' to the Fates and came back. None of you knew this, but I traded place with Nico to hold up the sky. I was just very, very careful, and no one knew it was me." This caused Artemis to look at Percy in shock which made him smile as she shook her head, "I should've known." Was all she muttered.
Percy looked at all the girls who had tears in their eyes and then Zoe spoke up, "You lived a long terrible life so I want to re-welcome you to our family, brother." She said as the other hunters all nodded and said their agreements, "And you said you loved milady?" Zoe said with a wicked grin as Percy's face was as red as blood, "Of course, who would not love someone like this?" Percy said grabbing her cheeks making Artemis blush hard, "Then what are you waiting for it has been over four hundred years kiss her already." Zoe said as the hunters stared at her, "Percy you don't hav.." Artemis was saying as her lips were locked with Percy's, "Still as perfect as before.." Percy muttered as Artemis blushed deepened the kiss it seemed to last for eternity as the two then begin to attack each other with their tongues causing Zoe to blush it soon turned into a makeout session and caused everyone to start blushing.

"Get'm Percy, whoa bro." Nico said as Percy was attacked by Artemis as they rolled around on her bed, "Perce…?" Nico was saying and then shook his head, " Hey Perce you can stop…Oh well I tried." Nico shook his head, "Hey Death Breath." Thalia said as Nico turned and landed straight into a kiss full on the lips, "My lady said it was ok to date you..." She murmured as Nico's eyes widened in shock. He did not want to ruin the moment as he pushed forward sharing his feelings for her. They to locked into a battle of the tongues, "Oy Nico let's go, quit sucking her face off man." Percy said as he plucked his brother like figure off Thalia causing her to whimper, "It is not like you weren't doing the same thing to Artemis a second ago." Nico countered as Percy blushed, "That was different…." Nico laughed, "Ya sure."
"Hey Nico." Zoe said, "If you hurt her heart we will rip yours out and feed it to our wolfs." She said as the other hunters looked at him some cracking their knuckles, "Same to you Percy; if you leave again and hurt Lady Artemis we will find you and kill you after very strenuous torture." The two boys looked at each other and slowly crept out of the cabin scratching their heads. "I am scared Percy." Nico cried out as they walked into their cabin, "Do not worry, they mean well… I hope atleast" Percy said scratching his head, "Anyways let us catch the z's." He said laying down.
A few minutes had passed and Percy could not sleep. He felt unimaginably cold for some odd reason. Then he turned over as something had crawled next to him in his bed, "Percy I am cold." Artemis said as she hugged Percy making him blush, "So am I beautiful, but are you sure it's ok for you to be here?" Percy tried saying, but then looked down at the sleeping form of his love, "Oh well might as well enjoy the night." He muttered as he wrapped his arms around her making a smile appear on her face which caused Percy to smile, "This is never going to get old." Percy said creating a small wall around him stopping Nico from looking in even if he loved his brother he didn't want him all up in his business. Hugging Artemis tighter Percy allowed Morpheus to take control.
"What the Hades Apollo go back to sleep." Percy muttered as light shifted into the dark cabin. He tried getting up; key word tried as he looked down greeted by an amazing sight, Artemis laid cuddled next to him with her right leg thrown over him. As he tried moving she just tightened the hold she had on him, "Come on beautiful time to get up." Percy said as Artemis shook her head, "Five more minutes this pillow is too comfortable." She said causing Percy to smile, "Then how about this." Percy said as he leaned down and locked lips with the goddess of the Hunt. She didn't want to at first, but then the kiss turned into a makeout session as Artemis rolled on top of Percy and started kissing him and rubbing her small petite hands on him like he was going to vanish.
"Whoa Artemis I am right here." Percy said as Artemis intensified the kiss, "I know, but what if you leave me again." She said as tears started to form on her face as she continued to assault Percy's lips. Percy grabbed her by her shoulders and pushed her back making her tears start to flood down, "I knew it you didn't love me after all those years." She said as she tried moving, "Wait Artemis.." He said as he frowned, "No let me go you don't love me right just let me go." She tried breaking free of his grasp, but then he pulled her back.
"Don't you ever, ever say that to me." He said to her, "Even if the Fates need me I will never leave without you." He said letting that sink in, "And over the past four hundred and eighty three years, twelve minutes, forty eight seconds, all I thought of was you." He said as he began removing Artemis's tears with slow kisses down to her collarbone then back up to her lips.
"And I will never ever want to be away from this amazingly beautiful and drop-dead gorgeous women." Percy said causing Artemis to cry tears of joy as she attacked Percy's lips again with a new vigour. Smiling as she did so he returned with the kiss as he traced circles in her back. Eventually she rolled off of him and latched onto his side.
Ok guys I know fuck me right? All I did was revise the old story and add another 6 thousand words, but all for a good cause I swear. This time it is going to be a little different. I changed the plot a little bit and upped the OC. So fuck you normies who hate my idea of the hunters. Also stay tuned as I delve into I have no fucking clue to be honest with you.
