Hey guys, Arkyz here! So, I was reading, and really enjoying a story written by Awful Writer, and started writing one very similar, but didn't upload it because I felt like it was too similar. However, when he said that he was contemplating putting it up for adoption, I shot him/her a PM, and he/she said I could adopt it! So here we are, first chapter of my version of their story! I hope you all enjoy it! I already decided the pairing will be Perlia, cause it's one of my OTPs. Read on my peeps, and I hope you enjoy this first installment to The Forsaken Hero.

Disclaimer: I do not own PJO or HOO. If I did, Percy would have been paired with either Thalia or Hestia.

Third person POV:

'PERSEUS JACKSON, I, ZEUS KING OF GODS, HEREBY EXILE YOU FOR TREASON AGAINST OLYMPUS. IF ANYONE DISAGREES WITH THIS DECISION, SPEAK NOW.'

Perseus was utterly shocked. Treason? After all he'd done for the gods, he was deemed to have committed treason? He looked around the room, scanning the eyes of the other demigods present, looking for someone, anyone that disagreed with this decision. His eyes landed on Annabeth's and, much to his surprise, they were filled with disgust. She mouthed the word traitor and he felt something inside of him break. Annabeth. The one person he would sacrifice his life for, had called him a traitor. He didn't even know what he had done to be accused as one.

Thalia's angry voice broke the silence. 'After all he's done for you. None of you have the slightest problem with this decision? Well I for one, do! Percy saved Olympus, not once, but twice! Twice, damn it! And you all, you all have the nerve to condemn him to a life of exile? I can't believe it! I hope you all burn in-'

Interrupting Thalia, Poseidon shouted, 'That's enough of that daughter of Zeus! This is a small punishment compared to the crime he has committed. If anything, he should be thanking us!'

'Dad plea-'

'Do not call me dad, boy. I no longer have a son. I, Poseidon, god of the seas, hereby takes your power over water from you.'

His own father believed he betrayed Olympus. He couldn't believe his ears. This can't be happening to him. After all those years he had served Olympus, this one mistake had convinced everyone that he was a traitor. In desperate attempt to change their minds, Percy began to explain, 'Hear me out guys. I don't even know what happ-'

Frank cut him off, 'You don't know what? You don't know that you killed them? We trusted you. Hazel trusted you. Nico trusted you. Leo trusted you. And what did they get for it? They got fucking killed,' Frank began to sob. 'You killed her, Percy. You killed her you bastard! We saw you stab their hearts and slit their throats.' The remaining members of the Seven surrounded Frank and comforted him, shooting accusing glares at Percy.

'When did it even happen?' Percy insisted.

Annabeth glared at him. 'Not even thirty minutes after the Hunters arrived at camp. You should know, you were the one who murdered them.'

'I couldn't have killed them then, I was with Thalia in the woods!'

Thalia nodded her head in agreement.

'I know what you look like Perseus, I know it was you that killed them,' Annabeth growled.

'I believe we have all heard enough here. You have fifteen minutes at camp to gather your belongings before you leave. You are officially banished from the land of the gods. Goodbye, traitor,' Zeus snarled. Then, with a flash of blinding light, Percy disappeared.

Thalia POV

Tears streamed from my eyes, blurring my vision. I couldn't believe it, rather, I wouldn't believe it. I wouldn't accept the fact that Percy was gone again, but this time, forever.

My Percy.

The boy who had greeted me when I woke.

The boy who always had his stunning lopsided grin plastered on his face.

The boy who had the breathtaking green eyes.

The boy who would never see me as anything more than his cousin.

The boy who had his heart broken by that cold bitch.

The boy who I loved.

The boy who was now gone.

I glared at Annabeth, and with newfound rage and strength, surged forward and planted my fist into the daughter of Athena's eye, sending her staggering backwards.

'What the Hades was that for?' Annabeth growled as she regained her footing.

I replied, my voice laced with malice. 'Oh I don't know, maybe for not defending the boy who loved you? Is that a good enough reason?'

Annabeth recoiled in disgust when the word 'love' was mentioned and spat. 'I can live without its love, and if you didn't hear, it killed three of my closest friends. If it were up to me, sending it to the pit of eternal damnation wouldn't be a good enough punishment!'

I felt her blood boil, but spoke in a deadly calm voice, her volume increasing with each word that came out of her mouth, 'Say that one more time Annabeth Chase. I fucking dare you. I swear on Styx, that if I hear those words come out of your mouth just one more time, I'll shove my foot so far up your a-'

I was cut off by my father who bellowed, 'This meeting is adjourned. We will not discuss this any farther. You will all leave. Now.'

'This isn't over Chase,' I mumbled as she begrudgingly returned to the side of my mistress, 'In fact, it's far from it.'

Five years later…

Third Person POV

Thalia's eyes fluttered open, and she groggily got up to take care of her hygiene, careful not to wake up the hunters around her as she didn't want to deal with an argument as to who got to shower first. She and the huntresses had been at Camp Half-Blood for a week now, their mistress was one a mission to hunt a beast that they were not to ask about, one that was too dangerous for the huntresses. Oh, how that was nostalgic. The last time Artemis had hunted on her own, she was captured and he had to save her. Thalia could feel tears forming in her eyes as she remembered the boy, and she quickly created a mental block to keep herself from crying. She exited the shower and silently dressed herself, she had to take care of the hunters, now wasn't the time to cry over the past.

'Alright hunters, get up! We don't want those damned campers to get breakfast before us, now do we?'

She was met with several complaints and curses, but her sisters eventually got dressed and left the cabin.

After she made sure that all the hunters were accounted for, she pulled out a rectangular photo from her pocket. The small photo was of a boy with raven-black, wavy hair and bright green eyes, a picture of the man she loved. She brought the picture up to her lips, and lightly kissed it, 'Wish me luck today.'

'Thalia! Are you coming or not?' a voice from outside called, clearly agitated.

'Alright, I'm coming!' She shoved the photo back into her pocket and left with the other hunters to the dining pavilion.

Meanwhile, in Alaska…

Artemis cursed loudly, she's been killing the same hellhound for over an hour now, it just wouldn't stay dead and she was beginning to tire. The goddess reached into her quiver and poured all her power into this final arrow, 'If you know what's best for you, then you'll stay dead.'

In the blink of an eye, the arrow lodged itself between the creature's eyes and it exploded into a golden dust. This time, the monster did not reform. Or so she thought.

Having put all her power into that last arrow, Artemis was exhausted. She was beginning to doubt her success on this mission if it took this much power to slay a measly hellhound. Her body succumbed to fatigue and she collapsed, but before her very eyes she saw that the beast was reforming. It was reforming. Even her strongest arrow didn't subdue it.

The fully reformed hellhound approached the goddess slowly, savoring the weak appearance of the once oh-so-powerful huntress. The beast began to close in, and she squeezed her eyes shut and braced herself for the fangs of the monster to sink into her flesh, but it never came. She curiously opened her eyes and saw that the creature was cowering in sheer terror. Was it scared of her? No, the creature wasn't paying her any attention anymore. It was scared of something that was behind her.

Using the remainder of her strength, she shifted her body so that she could see just what monstrosity the hellhound was cowering from. Her gaze was met with two sea-green orbs that were seemingly floating in the shadows.

'Give me one good reason as to why I should let you live, Artemis.'

So, that's a wrap! Next chapter you will partially find out why Artemis is in Australia, and some of what Percy has been doing during his exile. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, and thanks again to Awful Writer who let me adopt it!

For people who have read Hunter's Assassin, one of my other stories, what are your thoughts of me writing a set of 'prequel' books about Percy's time away from America. If you like or dislike the idea, either leave a review on that story or send me a PM.

Unfortunately, as I am nearing the end of my semester at uni, updates will be rare, if not virtually non-existent for the next four weeks. After then, I have a four month holiday, so after then you can expect me to give you heaps of updates!

Arkyz out.
