I dont own anything and I will spend time updating this one and my other story.
I will be using images and character appearances from Shows, movies, and games for a better idea. All of which I dont own.
Leone's POV
Great, now that my flight has landed, I run into a Cyclops. It's been following me all around Manhattan. I had my hand on "Raul." Raul is my weapon, forged from Hephaestus's old forge in Etna. My dad found some magic silver ingots and forged me my trusty blade. It has a two foot blade and a three foot staff. Plus some fire and electricity to boot. I also got two hidden blades under my jacket. Practically the same as Ezio from Assassin's Creed; that and a few throwing knives. Assassins are awesome, enough said. (To see his weapon and fighting style look "Trailer Mashup: Skyrim Age" in YouTube.)
Anyway I turned the corner to central park and run into the lesser more discrete parts. My dad always said to defeat a monster in a place void of mortals. I could never really remember why, something about the mist manipulating it, so that it looks like I'm gunning a fat guy down.
When I finally reach a good spot I see that there's a second one waiting for me. They had a young girl, probably a few years younger than me, maybe thirteen or fifteen years old. I walked up to the second Cyclops.
"So, are you going to let the girl go or am I going to have to send you back to the Underworld." I stated in my Italian accent. They looked at me and laughed. I seized the opportunity to roll under the second Cyclops and draw Raul. The Cyclopes turned to face me; one with a club, the other holding some rope. Both Cyclopes were wearing rags with ropes for belts.
"Silly hunter you may be strong but you are out numb…" A silver arrow shot out from a tree and six girls in matching outfits ran out with bowstrings drawn. Aiming at both the Cyclopes and me. The injured Cyclops was wailing and flailing his arms yelling curses at the young girls.
Finally the leader of the girls came out. She wore the same outfit. My instincts were telling me to run.
"Whenever you're ready thalia." In unison the hunters shot their arrows and the Cyclopes were turned to dust. Then they turned on me.
"Drop your weapon and we will give you protection to camp." The leader said. I sized her up for a second. About four foot ten, hunters' build, and radiating power. Just as dad described the goddess, he made sure I had a good idea of who to be wary of and who to avoid at all cost, and she is on top of the list.
I decided not to take a chance and back up slowly, I put Raul back in my pocket. My instincts are telling me to run. Now I spoke up in my Italian accent.
"No thanks, I'm more of a loner. " I turned on my heels and walked away. As I walked an arrow hit a tree as a warning shot.
"Our lady is being generous, so you should reconsider her offer, boy" My dad was right, these girls have a ton of pride. I decided that it was still too risky. Two of the hunters were recovering the girl tied up.
"Well I thank you're your lady for the offer, but my decision stands, and the names Leone by the way." The huntress growled at me and drew another arrow.
"Let him go phoebe, some males are to prideful for their own good." The goddess protested.
I chuckled at the irony but continued my way to camp.
Thalia's POV
After we defeated the Cyclopes, Tracy and Mira went and recovered our lost huntress. Hyperion had gotten loose and was hiding out somewhere and unfortunately we were assigned to defeat him.
"… By the way, the name's Leone." I tuned back in when I heard the boys accent. He was about five foot six inches. He wore old blue jeans, a white shirt and a black hoodie. He had the same eye shade as lady Artemis and long jet black hair. One strand of his hair was braided with a feather on the end, which I guessed was some Italian thing. As walked away I heard him chuckle at my lady's remark.
After Emily, our lost huntress, woke up we continued to camp. When we got there, we saw that Leone was fighting off a group of hellhounds with the camp leader, Andrew. Andrew was a second generation camp leader after his father, Shawn. Pompous fools them all.
Back to the fight we saw Leone flowing through his strikes and stances like a professional and Andrew struggling with one hound. There were three left when the rest of the camp showed up and shot their arrows.
The pompous fool was praising himself for defeating the hellhound while Leone sit back and let it happen. We hunters walked up to him while the camp walked with Andrew. Chiron soon joined our side.
"Why did you let the camp leader take all the glory?" I asked. He looked off towards the hill then back at us.
"I'm not here for glory or fame; I'm just here for the summer then I'm going back to Italia." Chiron gave a nod and asked his name. He smiled proudly.
"Leone de la Luno Jackson." His accent was kicking in again. When he said his last name me, Chiron, and Artemis flinched. It must have been the combination of his familiar smile and his name to cause such a shock.
"My boy, you wouldn't happen to know Perseus Jackson would you." Chiron inquired.
"Yes, He's my father actually; I came here to be claimed by my mother." His eyes made me suspicious.
"Do you know your mother?" Chiron continued a large smile on his face.
"No, dad said I would in time, but I would appreciate it if anyone didn't know he was my father. I don't want to much attention." Chiron let out a soft laugh.
"Just like your father, please walk with me, I wish to know how my favorite student is doing after all these years." Chiron put a hand on his shoulder and led him to the cabins.
"I can't believe after all these years my stupid cousin only sends his son." I sighed.
"I have to go tell father of this, he hasn't been all too happy about Percy's absence. But I admire the boys need for discretion; this one may gain my respect as well." I stared at her weirdly.
"Did you just call him Percy? Not Perseus or man?" She glared at me for my attentive ears.
"I have to report this to father, and I'm sure Poseidon will be glad to know Perseus is alive." She said stoically though her eyes betrayed her.
"Sure my Lady, Shall I make sure the huntresses are ready for the games tonight, I'm sure all the gods will be interested in tonight's game." She stared at me suspiciously.
"I suppose so." With that Artemis teleported.
I walked up the hill to see Annabeth walking towards me. I walked over and hugged her.
"Hey how's finishing up New Rome?" I asked.
"It's great, and just in time for my 36th birthday. I really need a break." She fell back on the grass. I fell beside her.
"Good though being immortal I don't think birthdays aren't important anymore, oh and guess who the new kid is?" She peaked at me.
"Who?" She took a deep breath.
"His name is Leone de la Luno… Jackson" She looked a bit shocked but her expression went to the sad happy kind.
"So he fell for a goddess after me." She was holding back tears.
"Yeah and a powerful one from what I just saw, though he's more discrete. Percy must have wanted him to stay out of the line light." I tried to avoid hurting her.
"I wonder who the lucky goddess was." I did too.
"That's what Leone was here to find out." I replied.
"I wonder if Percy ever thinks about me, I mean I know we kept in touch for a while, but it's been 16 years since he left or he put it, retired. " She ended it a bit angrily.
"Well Percy did want a normal life and you ended your relationship with him because you thought you couldn't handle both." I replied.
"I know." She replied.
"He wouldn't mind going with you or you being around very little." I continued.
"I know I know" She replied.
"He waited for you before he decided to leave. He was going to propose" I finished.
"You like making me feel worse." She cried.
"I'm sorry Annabeth but you had many chances." I hugged her.
"I know I know, maybe Leone will be a way to reconnect with Percy." I gave her a sympathetic face.
"That's dirty and cheating you know." She looks saddened.
"But asking about him isn't hurting anything, but he also doesn't want anyone to know he's Percy's kid." I added, cheering her up a little. We walked off to lunch talking about all that we did since last time we talked.
Olympus No one's POV
"Alright, anything else?" Zeus asked ready to conclude the meeting.
"Actually, I have something that Poseidon would like to know." All eyes turned to Artemis.
"Apparently you son, Perseus, has sired a child with a goddess and has come to camp." A few of the gods turned to Poseidon and Zeus.
"What really, I have to go and see." Poseidon flashed out.
"Is the child a threat?" Zeus asked.
"I don't believe so, but this is the first time in centuries that a demigod or whatever you wished to call it has been sired. His father is a strong demigod, but he seems to want to stay out of the line light. He wants to be discrete."
"What is the boy's name?" Athena perked in this time.
"I believe it is 'Leone de la Luno Jackson' is how he said it." Artemis relied, imitating Leone's accent. For a second every one stared at the goddess suspiciously. One glare from the goddess averted all suspension.
"Well then I personally would like to see the boy in a game of capture the flag. Artemis, I would like you to keep an eye on the boy, use a bird or something. Other than that, Meeting Adjourned." All the gods flashed out, except Athena, Hestia, and Apollo.
"We know the boy is yours, Artemis." Hestia was the first to say.
"That's absurd" Artemis protested.
"Sis, his name means 'Lion of the Moon,' it's pretty obvious" Apollo added.
"Perseus is still the only man you respect." Athena said.
"Don't deny it sis" Apollo finished.
"There's nothing to deny, how we know it isn't Hestia's child. The man did prefer her company over most of ours." I accused.
"You know what, I would love to be with the hero, he's the one man that would be loyal for an eternity, but sadly I don't know where he is. But I know you do." She admitted a blush on her cheeks.
"Somewhere in Italy most likely. And no you will not, you are a maiden goddess" I added.
"I made that promise to myself if you recall, I can break it if I want. Especially when there is a perfect man out there." Hestia argued and kept a grin on her face.
"How do you know he hasn't moved on to a mortal love?" Artemis asked.
"Because if he did we would have found out sooner from you slaughtering her and reminding Perseus that he belongs to you, if you already haven't." Apollo chuckled along with the two goddesses.
"I don't have to take this." Artemis flashed out and went to the old Rome, now Vatican City.
Percy's POV
I was just getting home with some old scrolls and things that the church and carvings that a few archeologist needed me to transcribe.
You see after I left camp, Paul got me a connection over here translating scrolls and other documents. Being an archivist is pretty easy when you're a half-blood with advance skill in Latin and ancient Greek.
I walked in, tossed my bag in the study, and collapsed on the couch. (If you want to know my idea of the place, look at Dante vales' house in 'Huntik: Secrets and Seekers.)
I turned on the T.V. and relaxed a bit. After what seemed like an hour of sleep I felt someone shaking me.
"Wake up fish face." I groaned and sat up. The last person I ever thought I was going to see again but wanted to see the most.
"Artemis?" I rubbed my face and had my vision clear up to see the moon goddess smiling at me. Sadly it wasn't the smile I wanted, it was the smile that said I was in trouble.
"Yes Percy it's me, I... I've missed you." She engulfed me in a hug. She was in her 18 year old form.
"Heh I've missed you to moonshine. So why are you here?" She sat close beside me and wrapped her arms around my bicep. I leaned over and kissed her cheek. She let out a little giggle.
We sat like this for a moment, enjoying the peace and quiet.
"We need to talk about Leone." She spoke up.
"I saw this coming" I sighed.
"Do they know?" I asked.
"Apollo, Athena, and Hestia, who apparently had an interest in you and still might." She ended the sentence in a warning tone.
"Don't worry, I will forever be yours. But now how is he doing, any trouble" I asked after kissing her forehead.
"Oh not too bad, seen him fight a Cyclopes and a pack of hellhounds. No scratches, not even a bruise." I chuckled and shook my head.
"I thought I told the boy to stay in the shadows." He's going to be the death of me.
"Discrete was more his wording." She gave a sly grin.
"You do realize he's going cause a lot of problems when you claim him, if you do." She playfully slapped me in the chest.
"Of course I'm going to claim him, the way you named the boy it's only a matter of time before someone realizes he's ours." She sighed.
"And your hunters?" She looked at me pleadingly.
"I'm afraid to see their reaction; I'd be going against everything I stand for. Thalia will understand but the others, I don't know." I chuckled as she closed her eyes, verge of tears.
"I bet they think of you as a mother instead of a patron. I'm sure they will be behind you all the way." I smiled.
She moved into my lap and began to kiss me deeply. I longed for this for too long.
"You two having fun." Why now….
