Chapter 2, I'm happy with the responses to my first chapter and I'd like to give "Im ITy" a congratulations on discovering one of Persephone's Major Godly Domains. As a reward "Im ITy" has been given the opportunity to create a Demigod OC for my story, I extend this offer to anyone else who figures out either the last Major domain or one of the minor, the other minor gets 2 OCs as it will not be easy to guess, I'll drop very few hints and it'll only be revealed at the end of TLO so get guessing folks, you also need to explain where you think the Domain comes from and why. Details on a poll have been added at the end of the story.

I've changed the Spelling of 'Percy' to 'Persi', it'll be explained at the end.


Chapter 2: My Mother was a Hunter! and I'm off to Camp Half-Blood

Poseidon turns to see Sally Jackson standing there in what looks like Hunter clothes but resized for an adult body, She smiles at the man who gave her a child, even if Perseus has become a girl she's still her child and she'll protect her till the end of time if necessary. Sally sighs thinking of her history and the terrible secret she's kept from Lady Artemis and Poseidon, She hopes that one day she can tell the truth about herself without fear, but she knows that that day won't be for years at best, centuries at worst.

"Poseidon, I think it's time we told Persi some of the truth, she's obviously more mature and now knows the Greek Gods exist" Sally says to Poseidon, he nods

"I know, you know this means that you'll have to take her to Camp Half-Blood and let her live there full-time don't you?" Poseidon asks.

Sally nods and starts walking back to the cabin, Poseidon follows carrying Persephone in his arms, they talk sparingly as they walk having known each other's personalities and minds for centuries, Sally was even on good terms with Amphitrite Poseidon's wife. Strange that, but it was a part of her nature. Sally however kept an even darker secret from the Gods and Poseidon. When Persi came of age she would be told of her heritage, her full heritage, and the Legacy that she holds, one of hatred and malice and bloodshed. Sally sighs knowing that it's always darkest before the dawn, and right now her outlook for the future is pitch black.

The odd trio makes it back to the cabin in one piece, as they are walking in the door Persephone wakes and asks "Okay, I've been patient enough but- Wait Mom, what are you doing here? Why are you wearing that clothing?"

Sally sighs and says "Because Persi, I was one of Lady Artemis' Hunter for nearly two millennia, The only hunter who has served her longer is her Lieutenant Zoƫ. Twelve years ago I retired from the hunter because I-"

"Wanted to have a child, isn't that what you said Selene?" Artemis' voice speaks and all three occupants turn to see her standing in the doorway they had just come through. "I wondered what happened to you, it explains why this child stumbled onto my camp even with the mist around it, he must of heard the call even as a male"

Sally bows and says "Lady Artemis, what a pleasure, I have to ask why are you here?"

Artemis smiles and replies "I was watching over my new prospective huntress when suddenly she goes to the edge of the ocean and stills it with just a thought and a touch, I was even more surprised when Poseidon appeared and spoke to her, So Persephone here is a Daughter of Poseidon, the only Demigod Daughter of Poseidon even known, and the Daughter of an ex-hunter. I will admit I was surprised when you suddenly appeared Selene, As I said I had wondered over what had happened to you but now I know, you had a child with Poseidon and raised her, I wonder what will happen now?"

Poseidon's face has gone pale and Persephone looks at him wondering why he is so scared when Artemis says "Don't worry Poseidon, I won't tell him about your daughter, I will take her to Camp Half-Blood and say that she is a Demigoddess of unknown parentage who will be joining the Hunt when she turns Sixteen, I'll have Chiron let her stay in my Cabin so suspicions are not raised"

Persi sighs and asks "Is there any other way of doing this?"

Artemis thinks for a second before she replies "You could announce yourself as Poseidon's Daughter, but you would have to worry about the wrath of your Uncles, Zeus and Hades"

Persi pales and comes back with "I'll go with your idea, seems marginally safer"

Artemis nods and says "If you are going to the Camp, I want you to swear the oath of the Huntress first, so that you are not tempted and I don't have to turn you into an animal after all"

Persi nods and says "Okay, what is the oath?"

Poseidon speaks up and says "The oath is as follows 'I pledge myself to the Goddess Artemis"

Persi says "I Pledge myself to the Goddess Artemis"

Sally continues "'I turn my back on the company of men"

Persi repeats "I turn my back on the company of men"

Artemis then says the last lines of the Oath "'And Upon my Sixteenth Year will accept Eternal Maidenhood and join the Hunt"

Sally and Poseidon stare at her in bewilderment while Persi finishes "And Upon my Sixteenth Year will Accept Eternal Maidenhood and join the Hunt"

Silver Energy stronger then before flows over Persephone and she notices her vision, hearing, and senses of Taste, Touch and Smell growing stronger, her vision most of all with Hearing close behind. Her body fill with more energy but it feel like there is a part missing. She notices the looks her mother and father are giving Artemis and asks "What? What's the matter?"

Poseidon then shakes his head and says "The Oath was altered by Artemis slightly so that you will not receive the immortality of the Hunters until you are sixteen, so you'll continue to grow unlike the Hunters who usually remain the age they were when they joined" Persi's mouth drops open and Artemis laughs

Artemis then stops herself and says "Well then, Come with me Persephone, it is time you went to Camp Half-Blood, I'm sure Chiron wouldn't mind taking in a Hunter like you"

Persi nods numbly and gets up but her father hold his hand out and she looks at the pen in his hand, Poseidon smiles and uncaps the pen and it turns into a three-foot long bronze sword. Poseidon smiles and says "This is yours Percy, I hope you'll wield it well, it names is Anaklusmos"

Persi gasps and says "Riptide" before taking it, the moment it touches her hand however it changes, the sword turn into two, Two-foot long Hunting knives, one has "Rip" on it and the other has "Tide" on it. She brings the two knives together and they turn into a bracelet on her right wrist with her. She turns to her father and says "Thank you" she then thinks over the Oath she just swore and her face pales and then blushes.

Sally raises an eyebrow and asks "What exactly are you thinking Persephone?"

Persi swallows and tries to get the blush to go down before she replies with "I was just thinking over all the things I'll have to learn about being a woman before I realized something about the Oath"

Artemis raises an eyebrow and says "And what might that be, Persephone?"

Persi blushes even harder before she says "That the Oath only swears off men and that relationships between women might not be consider against the Oath"

Poseidon's eon old mind thinks that over before doing the appropriate thing when his now teenage daughter mentions homosexual relationships between girls, he faints. Artemis blushes crimson and tries to speak but is unable to due to her embarrassment. Sally just laughs and says "Your right it doesn't, But are you saying you like Girls Persi? Persephone blushes but nods Sally smiles and says "Well considering that only an hour you were a man it's quite normal for you to still be attracted to females, I doubt you'll ever be comfortable around men outside of your family due to your knowledge of what a boy thinks, even if it is just pre-adolescent" Persi nods.

Artemis finds her voice and says "Y-y-you're right and there is nothing I can do about it, the Oath cannot be changed at this point. If you do have relationships with other Hunters or women, remember the Hunt is first, relationships are second alright?" Persi nods again "Okay, now let's get going, and good job on making your father faint, Athena would love to know that the idea of Lesbians made him faint"

Sally laughs and says "I believe it was more the idea that his daughter could be one that made him faint"

Artemis sighs "True, oh well. I can say I was talking to him about it and he fainted and Athena can still tease him about it without revealing anything" Artemis then walks out the Cabin and Persi follows after hugging her mother and saying goodbye.

Artemis summons two of her Golden Hinds and uses them to transport herself and Persi to Camp Half-Blood's boundaries. They walk down towards the big house and Chiron comes out having sensed Artemis' approach. Chiron is about to speak when he notices Persephone and asks "Are you delivering a Half-Blood, Lady Artemis?"

Artemis nods and says "Yes and No, Chiron. She's an Undetermined Demigoddess and will be joining my Hunt fully when she turns Sixteen, in the mean time she'll stay here in my cabin and train with the campers" Artemis then touches Persi's clothing and transforms it into a Hunter's uniform, She then says "Persephone, I'll be back every Six Months to replace your uniform if you need it, otherwise you can Iris-Message me. I'm sure Chiron will show you how, he will also teach you to control the Mist won't he?"

Chiron nods and says "Of course Lady Artemis, of course"

Artemis nods and says "Farewell Persephone, I must go back to Camp, I'll see you again when our paths cross" She then flashes out leaving behind the scent of a forest at night. Persi breathes in the scent and marvels at her new ability to perceive the world.

Chiron chuckles knowing what she was doing and asks "So what is your name?"

Persi smiles and tell him as they start walking towards the 'Big House' "Persephone, "Persi" Jackson. and you are Chiron, trainer of Heroes and son of the Crooked One" Chiron stares at her for a second and she says "I had just finished doing a project on Greek Mythology when I met Lady Artemis, I guess that's why the Mist? is it didn't shield me as I knew too much correct?"

Chiron nods and says "Yes, to both of your questions, I am the Chiron from legend. And your knowledge did prevent the Mist from hiding you, I'm pleased to get such a intelligent Demigod for once, usually new comers have very little idea of this world and have to learn very quickly. But I think you won't have a problem fitting in"

They enter the Big House and walk over to a slightly over-weight man in a tiger pattern Hawaiian Shirt sitting at a table with a deck of cards on it. Her turns around and upon sighting her says "So Artemis has dropped off a Huntress, have you abandoned your Oath Little one?"

Persi snarls "Consider I just made it, no. Tell me have you ever heard of the words Personal Trainer or Fitness?"

The Man shoots a dark glare at her and she responds in kind with an even darker glare that makes the man shudder.

Chiron coughs and says "Mr.D please meet Persephone Jackson, She is a Huntress who'll be staying with us until she turns Sixteen at which point, She'll rejoin the Hunt as a full member"

Mr.D grumbles a bit at this and starts drinking from his Diet-Coke. Persi snorts and says "Oh, shut up Dionysus. I don't like you either"

Both Chiron and Dionysus' jaws drop at this and they stare at Persi who shrugs and says "Didn't take an idiot to figure it out, Tiger pattern shirt, and the respect from Chiron, there is only one Major God whose name starts with D. Though looking at you I wonder how you became an Olympian, you certainly don't impress me all that much"

Dionysus grumbles as he knows that if he does anything Artemis will castrate him. Persi smirks in triumph and asks "May I be shown to Lady Artemis' Cabin, as she said I could sleep there and I'm tired" Chiron nods and takes her to her cabin. It stands out as the only Cabin that gleams silver in the moonlight. Persi walks inside and finds an empty bunk in which to sleep, the moment she opens the drawers a silver flash fills them and they are full of spare uniforms, nightgowns, socks and underwear. Persi blushes a bit and opens her weapons cabinet next to her drawers and finds a silver bow and fifty silver arrows with the equipment needed to maintain them and instructions on how to. Persi shrugs off her clothing, takes a shower, puts on a nightgown and goes to sleep.


Yeah Persi (Notice the spelling has changed, this is to show the differences between Perseus and Persephone) is a bit of a bitch to Dionysus, she only respects Poseidon, Athena, Artemis and Hephaestus the rest she holds in somewhat contempt, she however loathes Zeus, Ares and Dionysus (Can you figure out why?)

Sally is a former hunter, I've never read a fic in which she is a hunter former of otherwise, I'm not saying they don't exist just that I've never read them. Also she is on good terms with Poseidon's wife, how will that change things? And for all the romanticists out there it could also be used to show Sally and Poseidon having a relationship over the centuries but never consummating it till just now. But that's a bit out of my league to write.

Poseidon fainting over Persi's attraction to girls, most people write the gods somewhat seriously and fail to realize they will still act like parents towards their Demigod children. I wonder what would be more hilarious, Athena finding out Annabeth is Lesbian or that her girlfriend is a Daughter of Poseidon. It makes me laugh just thinking about it.
