Artemis's Point Of View:
" My Lady, may I come in?" I heard Thalia; my second in command ask from outside my tent over my sniffles.
"Enter" I called before dissolving into a fit of coughing.
She pulled the bear skin hanging over the door and walked in before replacing it, and turning around to see me. She stared at me in shock and gingerly took a step forward.
" My… My Lady" She stammered, taking in the disheveled state of me and the room. "Are you sick?" The room looked like a tornado had ripped through it, there were empty water bottles, tissues everywhere, and then there was me. Buried under pet after pet, still sniffling and coughing like the Neman lion after eating freeze dried ice cream.
"No! That is preposterous, gods can not get mortal sickness and I have yet to have any contact with any immortal in a few months." I snapped not liking being sick. Due to my not being on Olympus much in the past few millennia I have only been sick about four times.
Thalia stared at me for a few minutes before asking with a sigh; "What's your temperature?"
"One-o-five" I mumble not wanting her to hear.
"What was that?" She asked smirking.
"One-o-five" I say louder. Her smirk drops.
Thalia's Point Of View:
"One-o-five." She says louder, my smirk drops.
"What are your symptoms?" I ask her quickly.
She lists off some things; aches, she's cold than hot, stomach upset, and the fever. As she's saying this there is only one thing I can think of. The flu.
Gods damn it! Why! Why must I, I be stuck with goddess with the flu. Well she's gonna kill me but it has to be done. I told Artemis id be back in a few minutes and stepped out of the stifling tent. I walked a good bit away from camp, before summoning him.
I cringed and shouted into the sky. "Apollo"
In a flash of bright light he was next to me with that gods damn smirk.
"Thalia, ever the pleasure to see. Did you by any chance quite the hunters?" he asked wiggling his eyebrows.
"EW! Gross! You do know we're step siblings." I shouted annoyed. He stared at me blankly.
"Fine, what do you want?" he asked.
"It's Artemis," I said. "I thinks she's really sick."
In a flash his smile disappeared replaced with one of worry.
"Where's camp!" He yelled startling some birds from nearby trees. Looking in every direction.
"This way!" I called back running south.
I have to say for someone not in the hunt, in which we run for hours straight. He had great stamina and was quite fast. At any given time he was only a few steps behind me. It only took several minutes to reach camp.
When we reached the clearing where camp was as soon as we entered almost all of the girls had their weapons out ready to attack. As soon as the younger girls saw who it was they lowered their weapons. Only a few of the older girls who had large issues with men kept the bows raised.
"Stand down!" I said loudly looking pointedly at Phoebe, who still had an arrow notched. She grumbled but lowered her bow.
I guided he toward the tent, while making sure he was right behind me and not a shish-kabob.
When we got to the tent I paused not wanting to go in and get chewed out or murdered the latter was a real possibility. But I steeled my nerves and went in.
"Hey Sis!" He called out. I saw Mi'lady cringe at the volume, and I guess he too saw it and lowered his voice.
"How are you feeling?" He asked she started to say fine, but gave in and told him all she had told me.
He checked her over just like any old doctor would do, and got this puzzled look on his face before going very, very pale.
"No, no, no! Not that prophecy!" He whispered sounding so broken, so unlike the laid- back, easy going god we knew.
He jumped up suddenly, startling us.
"We must call an emergency meeting on Olympus, Now!" He said franticly. He started to flash out before coming back and saying;
"Bring some of the older Hunters, to when you come."
He flashed out, I looked back at Artemis she wore the same puzzled expression I did. I tried to speak.
"What-ahem" I coughed "What prophecy? What was he talking about?"
When she replied I was shocked.
"I don't know. But we must go to Olympus, gather some other the other girls while I make myself a bit more presentable."
In the end only Phoebe, myself and only three other Hunters went. Artemis using Phoebe and myself as supports flashed us to the Olympus Throne room.
