Percy sat up in his bunk. It had been two months since the end of the giant wars, and one month since Annebeth had broken up with him. Claiming that she wanted to pursue her goals before settling down. Those goals being hopping from one hero's bed to the next. The only solace Percy had was that he had been the one to take her virginity.
Climbing out of bed he stripped off his night clothes, and began to dress for the day. Today was important as the Gods had asked him to come to Olympus for a council meeting at ten. Percy found this odd as demi-gods weren't normally needed at council meetings. Nonetheless he knew it was best to attend without asking to many questions.
Once dressed Percy left his cabin, and headed for the dining pavilion to eat his breakfast. Upon entering he noticed that his cousin Nico was not at the big three table. "Hmm must be with his dad or the Romans today." Percy mused to himself as he sat at the table.
Going through the normal routine of sacrificing a portion of his meal to the Gods. Percy sat and began to eat his meal. Once finished he bid Chiron farewell before making his way to Olympus.
Upon entering the throne room Percy noted the serious aura that flooded the room. When he came to the center of the room he stopped and looked up at his Godly relatives."Percy Jackson. We have called you here today to undergo a quest for Olympus. Before we hand it down to you. You must accept of your own volition without knowing what the quest is. Do you accept?" Zeus explained not bothering to waste time sitting on ceremony.
"I do." Percy replied. If the quest was so important it had to be handed down by the council themselves there was no way Percy could refuse. "Good. Your mission is simple. In the past two wars my daughter's hunters have had a hard time working with the males of camp half blood and camp Jupiter. Therefore you will become the first male to ever join the hunters of Artemis." Zeus instructed.
Percy looked to Artemis. Who was seething in annoyance, but had apparently already resigned herself to her new fate. Likely after much argument. "Yes Lord Zeus." Percy said not wanting to aggravate the already tense atmosphere. "As a hunter you will receive the same form of immortality as the others. I expect you to help bridge the gap not increase it. Am I understood?" Zeus asked in a threatening tone. Percy nodded in response. "Good then the council is adjourned." Zeus instructed.
With that said most of the Gods flashed away except for three. Zeus, Poseidon, and, Artemis. "Meet me outside when you're finished." Artemis growled before leaving.
Poseidon simply wished percy good luck before vanishing. Zeus walked up and handed percy a small ring. "This ring is similar to the pen you carry. All hunters must carry a bow, but knowing my daughter she will likely give you a faulty one out of spite. This bow when will cause any arrow to cause additional lightning damage to the opponent. It's also coded to your DNA. Meaning no one mortal or God can take it from you. Use it wisely." Zeus said handing him the ring before vanishing.
Percy sighed and moved to the doors to accept his fate. When he opened the doors he was met with a very irate Artemis. "The hunters have already been made aware of this arrangement. Now hold out your hand." She instructed coldly. Percy did as he was told and held out his hand. In it was placed a small moon shaped pendant.
"All tents look the same on the outside, but this pendant is able to make them larger on the inside if you have the materials that would make it naturally larger. It also allows you to create any furnishings you want, but once again you must have the materials. To get those materials you will either have to collect them or barter for them. I warn you though. My hunters prices are steep for men. So you're likely better off finding the materials yourself. Now let's go. You're already late to begin your chores." Artemis said smirking at her last sentence.
Percy hung his head and held out his hand. Resigning himself to his new fate, Arttemis grabbed his hand, and teleported them to the outskirts of her camp.
Next to the river sat a large pile of laundry roughly as tall as a refrigerator and as wide as a Queen sized bed. "Be lucky I only have about forty hunter right now. Every morning the hunters will bring their laundry here, and every morning you will wash it. Once it's done you have free reign to hunt or practice. Any questions?" Artemis asked expecting him to complain. "No ma'am." Percy answered as he began sorting the regular clothes from the delicates. A little impressed Artemis left him to his task.
While sorting the clothes percy got a idea. Willing the river to turn into two whirlpools. One faster for the normal clothes, and one slower for the delecites. Percy began tossing the clothes into their respective whirlpools. Each one acting as a washing machine.
"Good idea." A voice from behind him spoke. Turning around Percy was greeted to the sight of Hestia in her normal six year old form. "To what do I owe the pleasure?" Percy asked with a smile. "Just came to give you a couple of gifts to help you in your first few months till you earn their trust." Hestia said as she sat at the edge of the river dipping her feet in the water.
Percy smiled and created a small jet of water to massage them. Hestia moaned in delight. "No need to butter me up Percy" She giggled as she turned her fiery eyes to him. "Not buttering you up. Just showing my appreciation for a very hard working Goddess." Percy smiled. "Well I'll be sure to come by more often if this is the treatment I get. Now about those gifts. The first is that you'll be able to summon any meal you want. Since I doubt you'll get a fair serving at meals. The second is that you'll gain the ability to lure your prey in with their natural attractant. How does that sound?" Hestia asked.
"Amazing. Thank you Hestia." Percy said with a smile. "My pleasure." She said hugging him as she imbued him with her gifts before leaving.
I'm undecided who the pairing should be. So here's a pole to help me decide.
Hestia
Artemis
Thalia
