Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or Heroes of Olympus

Song Suggestion: Infinity by The XX

Percy stood in front of the goddess and contemplated whether or not to bow. He assumed they were past this stage but then again he wasn't great at pin pointing people's feeling especially girls. They were way too complicated for him.

The moon goddess hardly paid attention to him and was mostly talking to Thalia and as weird as it was Percy wished to exchange places with the hunter for at least the day. Screw girls, Percy thought, they are nothing more than trouble. Artemis; with her auburn hair and silvery eyes made Percy feel weird in the stomach, but in a good way like a roller coaster.

Aphrodite turned her head in his direction and Percy had to fight the urge of hiding behind Grover since he didn't want any twists or turns in his love life. In return Aphrodite only smirked at him which made him even more uneasy.

"Perseus Jackson," Zeus said taking Percy out of his trance. "You have exceeded the Gods' expectations and we offer you immortality, as your father's lieutenant."

Percy knew it was coming since he had practically saved the Olympians' royal butts more than once; however, nothing could have prepared him for the choice. On one hand there were his family and friends but in the other he could be powerful and immortal never worrying about dying. There was also Artemis.

He looked at her once again and noticed she had a slightly panicked look on her face. Why? He didn't know and honestly didn't want to. It was a stupid to think that a MAIDEN goddess was going to break her oath for someone like Percy. Besides he had more important things to think about than those gorgeous silver eyes… Snap out of it! Percy thought.

"So, what's your decision?" Poseidon asked warily since he noticed Percy's glazed look.

"Huh?" Percy blushed at the looks he was receiving form the Gods and quickly said, "I-," Percy didn't get to finish his sentence because a red-headed mortal came running inside well more like barged inside.

"Wait," Rachel started before stopping to catch her breath, "Percy can't be immortal. He is needed for another prophecy."

Surprisingly Artemis was the one that questioned her, "How would a mortal like you know that? Are we supposed to take your word for it?" Artemis finished by sending a cold glare directed to Rachel and Percy couldn't help but think it was jealousy. If only.

"I know it sounds crazy but lately I've been getting weird visions of the past and the future." Rachel then turned her green eyes and silently pleaded with Percy, "You believe me don't you?"

"My oracle!" Apollo exclaimed, "Well not yet but soon. My oracle finally wants to change bodies. We can do it right now."

"Wait, no not yet," Percy had a sinking feeling that if he allowed the oracle's spirit to get into Rachel, she wouldn't see another day. "I believe you." He said addressing her previous question.

"Then what do you want?" Zeus asked.

"First you need to swear on the River Styx."

"You don't trust us?" Zeus looked at Percy murderously. His expression seemed to say, the nerve of that demigod.

Percy stared at Zeus before answering, "When the majority of the Gods are after you, you pick up some things and well Hades was a bit of a jerk."

Zeus threw Hades a glared, "Very well. We promise on the River Styx that we will comply your request as long as is reasonable."

"Then prepare yourselves. I want…."

Percy and Rachel walked towards the elevator before a certain moon goddess stopped them. "I need to talk to you."

Percy nodded and Rachel waved Percy goodbye. "I don't like that mortal; she's a bad influence on you."

Percy didn't mean to, but he said quite sarcastically, "Wow, you don't like a girl?"

Artemis suddenly turned into what looked a 20 year old woman and said, "I would be more careful Perseus. I have treated you better than most men, but I'm still a goddess that can easily turn you into a jackalope."

Percy scoffed and took a deep breath to calm his anger, "Have you forgotten already? Those nights spent under the stars?"

"Never talk about that. It was a stupid mistake and it will not be repeated again." Although, her eyes seemed to say something completely different. They were filled with longing for something she could not have.

"I know you're afraid but I lo-," Percy was interrupted yet again.

Artemis shook her head, "You can't say things like that Percy, and it's not possible because I'm a maiden goddess. I can get in a lot of trouble for this." Her face was dead serious and Percy couldn't help but believe her.

He sighed in understanding, "You're so beautiful nothing not even the ocean or the moon can compare to your beauty. I wish I could somehow have infinity in my hands so I could share it with you."

Artemis looked down to hide the red tint that was currently spreading in her cheeks. Percy used the distraction in his advantage and kissed her on the forehead. The innocent kiss sent electric shocks all over his body and he felt drunk on his feelings, but it was over too soon.

"I better get going. One of the gods might get curious and start looking for me; until next time Perseus." With one last look, the goddess left.

Until next time, Percy thought, she wants to see me again. He let out a cry of victory which earned him a lot of dirty looks, but Percy didn't care. Artemis was planning on seeing him again and that was all that mattered.

After Percy recovered the ability to think clearly, he made his way to the elevator. Once inside the annoying song, "Staying Alive," started playing. Kill me now, Percy thought knowing that somehow the Gods' mission was to torture him farther. As the doors were closing, a delicate hand stopped the doors.

The not so mysterious woman spoke, "What's with the long face, Kelp Head?"

"Of all the people…" Percy started, but then stopped since a part of him was secretly happy to see Thalia again. Artemis rarely let her take breaks or vacations to catch up with old friends and Thalia was the closest thing Percy had to a girl best friend. Apart from Clarisse that is.

She smirked at him and Percy, being the mature person he is, stuck his tongue out. "You haven't changed a bit. Well you do look taller and what's with the hair? Cut it or something."

"Ha-ha and we saw each other last month. The old age finally started affecting you? I think I see a wrinkle." Percy said and reached for her face before getting it slapped away by the she-devil.

"You know, Artemis has never been the same since that quest." Thalia said.

Percy tried avoiding Thalia's piercing blue eyes, but failed miserably. He knew Thalia wouldn't believe him; however he tried anyways, he had to protect Artemis, "I have no idea what you're talking about." Thankfully the elevator dinged and the doors opened.

Before he could walk to safety Thalia said, "You can trust me with anything Percy."

He nodded once and headed to his mom's eager arms. So maybe Percy didn't have Artemis and immortality, but his family and friends were always going to be there for him.

After a lot of warm hugs Percy whistled and Blackjack came flying towards him, Everything ok, Boss?

Percy stared at the blue sky before answering, "Never better."

Once they arrived Rachel screamed, "Percy!" and came running towards him, "I'm the new oracle! Wait. Should I be excited or not?"

Percy laughed and said, "As long as the next Great Prophecy doesn't have anything to do with me. Oh wait, you said it does."

The fates decided to be cruel since Rachel's eyes turned serpent green and she spoke as if three Rachel's were talking at once:

"Seven half-bloods shall answer the call.

To storm or fire, the world must fall.

An oath to keep with a final breath,

And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death."

Rachel fell on Percy's arms and he looked at her straight in the eye, "You should not be excited."
