I apologize for the stereotypical beginning where Annabeth in is cheating on him, this is one of my futile attempts at writing fanfiction. Note that this won't appear until about 3 chapters in.

Sorry about the chapter posted twice, and the confusing pairing. This is a Percy/Artemis/Zoe fanfic. I republished this, but then took it down because it was just too bad. I am now in the process of rewriting it.

OH and a healthy THANKS to Annabelle for editing my rather poor writing. She has also edited my later chapters. Very grateful. Anyways, ONWARDS.

Mount Olympus (New York)

Percy Jackson knelt before all twelve Olympians, waiting judgment for his fate. Zeus calmly said, "I believe that Perseus Jackson, without whom we would probably be in a rather uncomfortable position. I myself shall reward Percy with mercy, and tolerating his existence. Would anyone else like to bless Percy Jackson, before I continue with my announcement and grant him a quest?"

Percy internally grumbled at the thought of having to go on another quest. Haven't I done enough already for Olympus? Will I ever get some peace and just sit back and relax?

Percy dared to speak up. "Before we begin, I would like to state my demands. Firstly, I would like Hades and Hestia both to have thrones on the Olympian Council. Also, I would like Calypso and Leto to be freed from their respective prisons. I believe that Leto has been punished plenty for her crimes and has done nothing more evil than practically all the gods, and Calypso has committed no crimes other than existing as the daughter of a Titan."

Zeus furrowed his brow, replying, "You ask for much boy, and while I. . . dislike the idea of Hades competing for power, I shall acquiesce." With that, Zeus clapped his hands, and instantly, the original Olympian's thrones moved out of the way for the two new thrones. One of them was black obsidian, embedded with gold gems, and radiated an aura of fear. This was clearly Hades' throne. It moved on the other side of Zeus's throne. The other one, was a rather plain marble throne with carvings of a variety of homemade foods, with a warm glow emanating that made Percy feel comforted.

Hestia looked at him gratefully, and then said, "I would like to bless Percy in light of his service to Olympus. I shall give him control of my giving him the power to summon any home-cooked meal, and give him some control of fire. I would also allow him to feel other's emotions when he wants to, but not exactly what they are thinking about."

Hades spoke up in the silence that followed after Hestia's blessing, "I will give him 3 pounds of golden drachmas, and also 1000 denarii, and also my thanks and the permission to travel in and out of the Underworld whenever."

Artemis surprisingly, announced "I shall give him a crude means to communicate with all animals. I will also give him a silver hunting knife to show my thanks for saving Olympus."

Apollo frowned at the thought of having any male other than himself talk to Artemis for fear of further degrading the reputation the male half of the population already has with his twin sister. Percy's pretty honorable, he wouldn't make a move on Artemis, would he?

He was disturbed from his musings by Aphrodite squealing, "Oh, Oh I simply must give you my blessing!" There was a puff of pink smoke, and Percy emerged coughing. His actual physique didn't change, but in Percy's mind, he now had much more knowledge than he wished for.

Poseidon growled, "What exactly did you do to him?"

Aphrodite cheerfully replied, "Oh, nothing that you would care about, just gave him some knowledge and a few suggestions on how to further his relationship with Annabeth."

Poseidon was bemused, "Oh. I would like to give Percy my blessing as well. I shall merely increase his control over water and make him tire less easily."The room was silent for about thirty seconds before Zeus attempted to rouse the gods who were still attempting to fathom exactly what knowledge Aphrodite had given Percy

"If that is all, I shall discuss the quest for Percy."

Apollo, who had by now settled his faith that Percy could be trusted, spoke up "I would also like to give Percy my blessing, which will be that he can shoot somewhat straight. You'll still have to invest the effort of practice though." Percy glowed golden for a moment, but then Zeus looked expectantly around the room.

"No? Then I shall continue. Percy must go to the Underworld after the meeting to handle some disturbances inside Tartarus. He will be only dealing with the entrance, and not the depts. It would be much favored to keep the bridge between the Underworld and Tartarus clean and under our control."

Percy was more than slightly surprised at the number of blessings that he had received, but decided not to question it. After all, why would anyone question free stuff, especially when it was so useful? He thanked the gods, and then bowed, taking his leave to prepare for the trip into the Underworld.

Next up, Percy goes to Tartarus.
