I am sorry if my summary was terrible. But to clarify this is an OC story. If you came for love and what not-which is basically what I see is a popular theme on here- you will not find anything that isn't canon here. Most of the main characters from the books are only mentioned briefly. For the most part this is a completely different set of characters and story line than the book.
"The Night has grown restless," Artemis said as she picked at her silver bow. The way she said Night made it sound like a proper name. "I fear she plans to over throw us." Artemis had called a meeting with her twin brother Apollo on the island of Delos, the only place safe from detection. Together they sat in the field of yellow daisies, Artemis refining her bow, Apollo with his stupid Valdezinator he insisted on bringing with him everywhere now.
Apollo frowned. "Unlike me, that is not awesome." Apollo cranked his Valdezinator, the instrument that demigod Leo Valdez had traded Apollo for ingredients for the death cure. Apollo claimed it made beautiful music, but all that ever came out when he turned the crank was weird creaks and squeaks. After much practice Apollo could change the pitch and now could play Mary Had A Little Lamb. He cranked again and the pained screeching notes came out.
"Would you give it a rest with that stupid instrument!" She snapped. "It sounds like Mary is butchering her lamb!"
Apollo looked offended. "This is a beautiful instrument! And Mary is definitely not butchering her lamb!"
"Never mind, we have more pressing matters than the butchering of small creatures." Artemis scowled at her twin. "Apollo, this is serious business, as guardians of night and day we should tell our father."
"And alert him we've failed again?" Apollo said. "Zues still isn't happy with me about the whole great prophecy thing, you know, the death cure."
"He isn't that mad!"
"Last Olympian council he threw lightning bolts at me."
"That was one time!" Artemis argued
"He tripped me in the hallways too." Apollo pointed out.
"Again, one time!"
"If by one you mean 15," Apollo said.
"Would you shut-up!" Artemis shouted at her dimwitted twin. "Fine! I'll tell him!" She snapped and stood up.
"Wait!" Apollo called. He grabbed his sister's arm. "How do you know she is even going to do this? Nyx could just be psyching us out!"
Artemis wrenched her arm free from her brother's grasp. "The last time you thought someone was psyching us out The entire Earth woke up you dimwit!"
"Dimwit?!" Apollo grew to his full height and began to glow brightly. "I could hardly be called-"
"Can it will you?!" Artemis shouted at him violently. Apollo shrank back to normal size, grumbling.
"And what do you plan to do to fight Nyx?" Apollo asked harshly. "She's hardly a minotaur."
"There are a few demigods I have in mind." Artemis said.
Apollo burst out laughing. "A few demigods?!" He bellowed. "It will take more than a few demigods and their tooth picks to take out Nyx!"
Artemis rolled her eyes. "You weren't saying that earlier. If I recall demigods have saved your butt multiple times over the past few millennia."
Apollo became flustered.
"Leave me and my awesomely tightened butt cheeks out of this!" He spluttered.
"Then listen to my plan," Artemis said calmly. "And maybe I will."
