Well guys and girls, others, I regret to inform you, but this is the last instalment of The forgotten. It is really that I lost interest in the plot, but I will try hard to make a strong ending for this one. If you enjoy my writing then I have news for you! I am creating a new Percy x Artemis fiction soon so just wait for me! I hope you enjoy the journey I have led you on and I am sorry that it is so short, but without further ado:
A quick word of wisdom: live life to the fullest. Because you don't know when a demon like titan can simply just destroy the world. It wasn't through the help of actual demons, but old ones. These old ones hated the ruling of the gods and decided to destroy them. Utterly destroy them. Fucked, that's where my day was heading. Absolutely, positively fucked. The titan himself Kronos attacked camp half-blood, and the fiery inferno that was Hyperion utterly destroyed the camp. Demigods were scattered around the entire mostly in pieces, but a few remained. Of those few Percy stood looking at the destruction.
From all around the only thing he could see was death, death and destruction. His peaceful morning with the love of his life was gone. She laid next to him with blood, golden to the sight, rolled out of her mouth. Tears, flowed down his eyes as the made their way towards the goddess of the hunt, "No." It wasn't but a whisper but the pure pain and sadness in his emotion was evident, "No." A black aura appeared around his body. It wasn't the normal power of the underworld which came in the form the tortured, "I refuse this." Percy was enveloped in this pure darkness, "I refuse this fucking shit."
Slowly a rope like thread fell from the heavens. It was almost as if the cosmos were imbued within it as stars and galaxies, supernovas and meteors expanded from each thread. It was such a beautiful thing, and Percy knew exactly what it was, "I refuse to accept the outcome the fates have shown." He grabbed his lifeline-his fate-the one thing that he needed to protect, "I love you Artemis." He whispered to the beautiful auburn haired woman in front of him, "I love you so much." He pushed the thread into her very being.
"What is that." A sickening old venom like voice said as two golden eyes looked at Percy. The light faded and Artemis laid there; no longer was ichor flowing from a wound. The wound itself was no longer there and Percy looked at the love of his life with happiness before turning towards the titan of time, "What are you doing?" The titan asked as Percy only smiled.
"Doing the one thing I can to save my love." Percy's gruff and saddened voice replied as his aura started to swell around him, "Titan of time, you have really angered me, and before I destroy everything I must teach you a lesson in this time." The dark aura shrouded Percy as he locked into combat with Kronos. Except this was not the combat one would think of. This was slaughter. Kronos was utterly destroyed, and what was left well was nothingness. Percy sat down, and his aura consumed him. Time came to a crawl, and dust floating around Percy suddenly stopped. A nova erupted from his body, and enveloped the Earth. Darkness was left, but Percy remained. He floated through space, and time before he too slowly faded.
"Congratulation Mrs. Jackson." The doctors clamored around to get a good look at the newborn who silently stared back at the doctors, "It's a boy." This was something many of them had never seen before. A newborn who had not made a single sound coming out of the womb. It intrigued the doctors more to see him simply look around as if searching for something, and taking in his surroundings, "What will his name be?" The doctors looked at the newly blessed mom who smiled.
"Perseus." This caused the newborn to start making happy gurgles which all of the doctors cued at. They handed the boy too his mother, and she stared at him with happiness, "You are going to do great things." She whispered to the boy who began to smile devilishly. The two slept soundly that night which was a blessing from all of the pain the mother had to face. It was almost like she was giving birth to the world.
As it turns out Percy was very gifted. He excelled in learning, and when he was five he could play the piano on the levels of the great. By the age of ten he had learned every instrument available to him, and could sing quite well. WIth the money he received from being such a genius; attending piano recitals, participating in orchestras, among other things, he could live well with his mom who had found a very well mannered man named Paul. Seeing as how his real dad never presented himself. Paul was pretty special because he sometime seemed to be able to accurately throw things from long distances, but Percy never paid any heed to it unless he wanted to learn baseball from him which he occasionally got lessons.
A weird thing however was that Paul taught Percy how to defend himself from a very young age. Percy was versed in spears, swords, and even the bow. It was astounding how quickly Percy picked up on sword fighting. He beat Paul in a few days of learning, but Paul just passed it on as beginner's luck. It was when Percy turned fourteen everything became clear. The family was attacked on their outing by a very large dog. Paul dispatched it and looked at sally, Percy's mom, "It is time."
Those words stuck with Percy as Paul and Sally explained everything to Percy who just nodded, and laughed, "Ya mom and dad." Percy looked at the two confused faces of his parents, "I mean when a eight foot tall giant attacks my class; I think mythology is real." THe two parents were shocked and pressed him on the matter, "Well thanks to Paul's training I dispatched the man, but to think I was so closely related to the gods."
Paul explained that he was a child of Apollo, and that there was a camp he would be taking Percy too, "No wonder you are so accurate." Percy exclaimed causing both his parents to laugh at him, and usher him along, "Oh and mom you don't have to worry I know who my real dad is." He held up his hand and a puddle on the side of the road began to rise, "Poseidon must be a jerk."
"No Percy you don't understand." Sally looked at the boy and then to Paul, "Poseidon, he loves you and me he sent Paul to us, but I never knew he would be so…" She looked at her husband while blushing, "Anyways what I am trying to say is that the ancient laws prevented him from interfering with your life."
Paul nodded as he looked at the child of Poseidon, "It's not only that some laws have major consequences." Paul explained to Percy about the big three treaty, and how he being alive broke it, "That doesn't matter however as the consequence for that would not be as severe as everything else." Percy looked at his stepfather with realization. His dad did love him and that was something he took to hear, "Now we are going to have to take you to camp. we will leave tonight."
It might have been a bad idea to leave that night. Considering the fact a giant two horned minotaur was chasing their car. Also considering the fact the beast had rammed into the car. The now flipping vehicle was going in slow motion for Percy as he controlled the rain to lightly catch the black SUV, and put it on its wheels. The next thing the child of Poseidon did was get everyone out of the vehicle before the minotaur ripped through it successfully exploding it, "There goes my teacher's salary." Paul muttered causing Percy to laugh at the dangerous situation, "Here Percy catch." Paul yelled as he tossed Percy a ballpoint pen, "Uncap it!" To which Percy did just that successfully allowing a 3 foot long sword to appear in his hands with the words Anaklusmos engraved onto the hilt.
The sword was amazingly balanced, but didn't feel right to Percy. He shrugged the feeling off, and began the fight with the minotaur. The beast charged at Percy with full speed, "Dumb monster." Percy yelled as he dodged the attack, "Everyone knows not to blindly go in." This was a reference to all the teachings Paul had instilled into Percy. The beast looked at Percy and roared turning towards his mother and Paul, "No not again." Percy whispered as a strange force controlled his body. It willed him to get in front of his parents, and with a bit of judo flipped the beast using its own momentum.
Control coming back to his body Percy was confused, but he still had a fight to continue. He quickly used the sword to stab the minotaur clumsily; probably missing several important vitals, but still hitting one causing the beast to explode into dust. Percy looked at his family and smiled before falling down exhausted, and thoughts flowing throughout his mind, 'What was that.' He thought as morpheus forcibly took control.
He awoke to a man with the legs of a goat pouring him a glass of what looked like apple juice, "Thanks." Percy whispered as he grabbed the glass and downed it in one go. Energy surged through his body causing him to literally jump out of the hospital bed which frightened the young satyr, "Holy shit!" He exclaimed as he looked at his tingling arms, "What was that stuff I feel like I can take on an army of Minotaurs!"
The goat boy dropped his jaw, "Usually that has the opposite effect if you down a glass of nectar!" He was interested and scared of the boy at the same time, "So the horn by your nightstand was the minotaurs." The satyr looked at Percy with wonder in his eyes, "Oh by the way the name is Grover Underwood I am a satyr if you couldn't already tell." Percy nodded as he took in his surroundings.
'How is my family are they alright?" Percy asked to which Grover nodded, "Good now I have one more question." The satyr looked at the boy expectedly, "Where the hades am I?"
"Oh right welcome to Camp Half-Blood home to demigods." That was what Percy expected, but he had to be sure, "Let me show you around." Thus leading to a very long and intricate tour of all things the camp had to offer, "And lastly the house of Hermes where you will be staying until we figure out who your godly parent is." This caused a chuckle to erupt from Percy as the satyr looked at him with question, "Is something funny?"
"Well Mr. Underwood it just so happens that I am a child of Poseidon." As the words escaped Percy a bright green flash erupted from just above his head. He looked up to see a brilliantly colored trident.
"The symbol of Poseidon." Grover muttered just above a whisper before he shook his head, "All hail Percy son of Poseidon!" He exclaimed to no one in particular. THere was a few passersby who stopped in their tracks and looked at Percy in shock, 'I guess they must be fans?' Percy thought as he shrugged.
It is kind of strange truly it is. What you may be wondering? Well the fact that when Percy saw silver he was instantly attracted to it. For you see after he was claimed and went to the big house with Grover to tell Chiron two things happened. Someone came in yelling the hunters are here, and Percy started walking towards them. Now this wouldn't be a problem except for the twenty or sow bows being trained on him. Percy looked at a certain auburn haired women with a smirk, "Who are you?" The girl questioned power flooding from her voice.
"Aww come on Arty, do you not recognize me?" This was unexpected because as the words came out of his mouth he slowly shook his head, "What?" He silently said to himself before shaking his head. He forgot about the girls behind him and started to walk back to the big house. Artemis was staring at the back of the boys head boring a hole into his skull. Who did he think he was! He just walked up to the hunt called Artemis Arty and started walking off like nothing happened! Artemis was confused, but a part of her was happy.
"My lady permission to shoot." A greek accent played off the lips of a girl with a silver tiara atop her head. Artemis held up her hand, and instead pulled her bow out. She grabbed a blunt arrow, and drew the string back aiming at the boys head. However, a force inside of her stopped not wanting to injure the boy in front of her. She was infuriated she couldn't shoot. She hesitated. Her the goddess of the hunt nonetheless!
Now this was slightly in the past, and she still stared at him as they began the campers vs hunters capture the flag game. He was strapped in simple leather armor, and Artemis couldn't help but find herself attracted to the fourteen year old almost as if fate was literally pulling her towards him; making her want to be with him. She decided to just utterly destroy the campers to get it over the feelings she was having.
"Hey Percy." A boy called out to the young son of Poseidon, "How fast are you?" He asked as Percy looked up to the boy, "You see our sprinter from the Hermes cabin is kinda out of commission for trying to prank the hunters, and we seem to need someone who isn't afraid to run across the line, and grab the flag." Percy looked at the boy, and nodded.
"Sure I can do that it seems pretty simple." You see at the time when Percy said this he was all sorts of confident because he had been pretty good at capture the flag during grade school, but what he didn't expect to happen was capture the flag with a multitude of weapons being swung and shot at him.
Percy sprinted across the border in the hopes of finding the flag that the hunters had hidden, and this in turn was a very bad idea. Each and everyone of the hunters seemed to specifically train their arrows onto him as he sprinted past them. The dodging boy was a sight to be hold as he pushed his way through the defenses of the hunters only to appear in a very opened clearing. There she sat with her bow in hand guarding the flag.
"I knew you would come." She looked at him without emotion because she couldn't decide how to feel with all the swirling emotions coursing through her godly body, "What are you doing to me?" She asked as she notched an arrow and let it fly at Percy who tilted his head, "Who are you?"
He looked at the goddess of the hunt with wonder in his eyes, "My mother always told me to give my name first." He said in a cocky attitude while grinning devilishly, "She also said never to give my name to strangers; you are a stranger or have we met?" He was genuinely confused as to where the words were coming from. What confidence in the back of his mind decided to show up now of all times when a girl had an arrow trained on his location.
"So you do not remember what you said to me boy?" Percy shook his head as to say no. She was shocked, but a little angry at the same time, "Well then to start I am Artemis goddess of the hunt, and you have disrespected me." She knocked another arrow to aim at the boy, but he was gone, "What?" She whispered to herself. No one escaped her and yet here this boy who waltzed into her life only hours ago just casually disappeared.
"Now, now Artemis." Percy said in a haughty attitude to the vixen, "If you were to do that it would be no fun." He laughed as he grabbed the flag and ran. He ran so fast that it was hard to keep up with if you were just a normal hunter. Though, Artemis was a goddess so definitely not a normal hunter.
She quickly caught up to him or so she thought. However, every single time she would get closer to him he would suddenly increase his speed. She was astounded. Her the goddess of the hunt couldn't catch her prey. What had the world come to. It was boy as well! She was not in the happiest moods, "I wish we could do this forever." He whispered to her as she stopped dead in her tracks. The words themselves echoing throughout her body, "But alas."
Little to her knowledge a tear had fallen from her face as she looked at the boy cross the line. A conch blew, but everything was in slow motion for Artemis. She may not have known what she was feeling, but she knew it was powerful, and that's all that she understood. She was vulnerable, and it frightened her. She was about to go too her hunters, but soon she blacked out. Not from stress though , but from a spell being cast on her in her vulnerable state.
Percy looked around to see Artemis who he was wanting to apologize for being such an ass, but he couldn't find her, 'If I were a goddess where would I be?' Well Percy wasn't a goddess so he hadn't the slightest idea, and this caused him to scratch his head as all of the campers came over to congratulate him.
Many cheers came his way, but he couldn't hear any of them because he was to lost in thought. That train however derailed when he heard a scream, and a mummified corpse walked towards the campers. It finally stopped in front of the huntress with the tiara who happened to be sulking, and looking for her mistress. It pointed its finger at the girl and from the quietness of the forest Percy heard its old harsh voice speak:
The titaness leads the way
To live or die is hers today
He who wins is the forgotten man who sins
The titan's curse one shall withstand
For the forgottens rage will defeat the man
The forgotten fate shall find the moon
Will it be to late or will he be doomed
The mummy well collapsed, and a few children of Apollo picked her up, and carried her back towards the big house. The girl with the tiara turned straight to Percy as if expecting him to do something, but als he was to busy deciphering what the prophecy meant to see the threat in front of him. Was it really a threat though. It seemed all the titaness was wanting to understand was where her mistress was.
Chiron called for a meeting inside of the big house, and Percy attended because he was the cabin head for Poseidon. As he strolled into the building everyone quit conversing to look at him, but all he did was shrug and walk onwards towards the wall where he now stood, "Well our last cabin leader is here it is time to start with the deciphering of the prophecy, and who to take on the quest with the young Mrs. Nightshade." Chiron stated as a girl with blonde hair opened her mouth to speak, but was rushed to it by Mrs. Nightshade.
"I will lead the way, I decide my own fate today, the only person who has won today is that boy over there." She said with a hint of anger, "So the rest must be about him; so in order to fin lady Artemis I need him." She looked at me with distance, but then looked back at Chiron who nodded.
"Very well Mrs. Zoe." He looked at her before smiling, "So who else will you take on your quest with you?"
Zoe pondered on it for a couple of minutes before sighing, "I will take the boy and myself the quest calls for no others." Everyone was shocked by this, and some began to protest, but alas Zoe's decision was final, "I will see you tomorrow morning after breakfast." She said to Percy as she walked out of the big house.
"But Chiron she can't just go by herself!" A girl with blonde hair practically screamed at the centaur, "I should atleast go on the quest I have plenty of training, "And, and…" The girl was cut off by a hand.
"Listen Annabeth I understand how much you want to leave camp to go on a quest, but as it stands the fates have decided to only allow Percy and Zoe on this quest." The girl huffed and puffed which was enough for Percy to see because he didn't need another drama queen envading his life. He just casually strolled out of the building and towards his cabin. As he walked in he yawned and laid on the massive bed in the center of the room, and allowed Morpheus to take over.
It was quite eraly when Percy decided to wake up, and he reached around trying to find the warmth that was supposed to be there, but instead just turned up with his blankets. In fact he really didn't know what he was searching for, but he never found it nonetheless. He shrugged, and pulled out a laptop. He typed in titan's who were cursed and several lists came up on google, but he found exactly what he was looking for.
He walked out of his cabin upon hearing the conch for breakfast, and proceeded towards the pavilion area where he would eat his breakfast. He passed many campers who looked at him, and began to gossip, but he really did not care. Upon making it to the pavilion he sat down at his table and asked for several things that just sounded good at the moment; blue pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, steak, mash potatoes, chicken, and waffles that were also blue. Remembering what Grover said about giving food to the gods Percy walked over and sacrificed portions of food towards Apollo, Poseidon, and Artemis.
After the feast he consumed he looked up to see an entire table of silver parka wearing girls glaring at him. He though didn't personally feel affected by the visual death, and stood up to pack. A while later he heard a knock on his door to see Grover who nodded at him, "It's time." Percy followed the goat like man to the entrance of camp, and wished Percy the best of luck, "Take care." He said and gave Percy a hug.
He looked at Zoe who was already looking at him expectantly. He gave her a confused expression to which she returned with a I-can't-believe-this sigh, "Where are we going!" She stammered as Percy looked at her, "You were supposed to be the one to find the way. THat is what the prophecy said." Now Percy understood these people take what mummies say very seriously.
"Well, I was doing my research on titan's with curses…" Zoe scoffed at this to which Percy gave a curt eyeroll, "And I have figure out that we need to go and find Atlas's mountain." Zoe stopped walking, and stared at him, "Is something wrong?" He asked the hunter who just looked at him with a slight bit of fright.
"N-n-no we will be heading to Mount Oryths then." She stuttered to get out as Percy just nodded, and pulled out his phone to check where they were going. He smirked, and told the hunter to follow him. The screen had said 'Trust in Sunnyside' To this Percy almost gave a chuckle, 'Alright Apollo.'
Several minutes later, and Percy found a train station which was labeled Sunnyside, "We will be getting on here." Percy replied to a confused Zoe. The former just pointed to the name, and Zoe made an O face as they jumped into an open cart. The area was pitch black, and Percy was wondering what was inside so he found a switch that turned on the cart light. To his utter amazement only luxury cars sat in the entire box cart, "I guess we can sleep in here when it gets dark." Zoe nodded as if the boy was an idiot, but decided not to say anything. She wanted to keep to herself and find her mistress, and how this boy was related she didn't know. She, begrudgingly, wanted to figure out though.
"Boy…"
"It's Percy."
"Well then Percy." She said the name with venom, but Percy could care less it was his name and he had deserved nothing wrong, "How do you know my lady." Percy looked at her for a minute before putting his finger on his chin. For a brief moment a flash of silver went through his eyes as he shrugged.
'I honestly do not know." He replied to a dumbfounded Zoe, "I have said some careless things to her that I would never say under normal circumstances, but it seems everytime I see her something deep inside of me takes over and wants to see her." He let that sink in before blowing her mind at his next statement, "It is so weird, really, because every single time that I see her I get this warm fuzzy feeling inside me, and I have no idea if it is good or bad." Zoe was kind of scared of him, but now knew what that feeling was.
"Love." She muttered, but Percy didn't hear her. He was too busy checking out the cars inside of the train. Percy decided on small talk for the time being, and learned a lot about the daughter of Atlas. He asked many questions about her life that, reluctant at first, she decided to tell him because she was feeling the need to have a sense of comradery with son of poseidon. As time went on the two became tired, and decided to sleep.
The two had ended up looking in the eyes of Landon the one hundred headed dragon that stood next to the tree of immortality. Zoe had been shocked at first because the garden was just how she left it but she paid no mind to that as she saw Percy not even looking at the legendary monster. Instead he looked straight up at the mountain top, "She is there I can feel it." He stated as he blindly walked forward. Zoe grabbed him just in time too because if he were to take another step Landon would have snapped his head at him. However Percy shrugged the hand off his shoulder and continued forward.
"Insolent boy!" Zoey screamed at him as Landon swooped in to attack. Percy still did not pay any mind to it for as soon as the head made contact with him he held up his sword to chop it off. To say Zoe was amazed was an understatement. The boy who wasn't even looking at one of the most dangerous monsters in Greek mythology just easily decapitated on of the advancing heads. Landon however was not very happy. He began to spew fire at Percy who finally looked at the monster.
"Stop." His eyes became like the cosmos as he held his hand up. The monsters fire suddenly died down and what was left was an angry Percy, "You will definitely not stop me you fucking garden lizard." Zoe was dumbfounded. This fourteen year old boy had stopped Landon as if it was nothing. Percy glared at the beast who was hesitant to attack him, "I will not go for an apple so leave me." His voice, Zoe noticed, was that of a deep and powerful man. It was intertwined with his boyish voice, and to be frank Zoe was kind of scared, but happy he was on her side, "Come on."
The two made their way to the top of the mountain to see the goddess of the hunt under the sky a very evident pain on her face. She looked up to see Zoe, btu caught Percy in her sight instead. Her heart skipped a beat. She was lost in the boy as it seemed her mind was going insane just from him being there.
"My lady!" Zoe yelled as she ran over to her, "Who has trapped you under the sky? I will personally…." She was cut short as a clap could be heard.
"Marvelous." It was a deep baritone voice that held the power of rage in it, "My own daughter has come to free my prisoner." Out stepped a very large man wearing full Greek battle armor. From head to toe except for the hem which was a face that only a mother could love, "He walked over towards Zoe and backhanded her towards a rock, "That is for abandoning your duties in the garden." He bellowed as he looked at Percy, "Ah you, the boy who beat the hunters." He looked at him and started to glare as Percy was only staring at Artemis, "Pay attention to me!" Arkas yelled as he hit Artemis causing her to drop to her knee.
Percy however still only looked at the goddess, "Are you blind or deaf or both?" The titan of power said again as he was about to hit Artemis before a hand caught the fist, "What-?" Atlas was cut off as Percy back handed the titan. It was powerful to say the least and he was sent towards the edge of the mountain.
"Do not touch her." He said as his heart sank. Artemis looked in pain and he didn't like seeing her like that.
"Why you bastard!" Atlas screamed as he lunged at Percy. THe demigod looked at Atlas, and was punched into a nearby boulder successful shattering the boulder causing Percy to spit up blood.
"No!" Artemis screamed as she saw Percy fly back. What had gotten into her? She didn't even scream for Zoe. Well she knew her huntress could handle it, but she still seemed to be passed out from the preemptive strike Atlas had done.
"Starting to have feelings for a boy?" Atlas said to Artemis while laughing, "How about I make you my woman after this war is over so you can be with a real man." He was a maniac and Artemis looked at his face and spit in it, "You bitch!" He was angry and reared his hand back to slap her.
Well do you know that point in the story where the character got help from an outside force and maybe a god would come down to save the day? Well it didn't happen. Though, Percy caught the titan's hand again. Blood was running down the side of his face, "Don't hurt her." He weakly said to the maniac that was Atlas.
"Oh don't hurt her? Don't hurt her!" Atlas began to laugh like a mad man, "What can you do?" He yelled as he began to punch Percy into the ground, "What do you think you are some hero? Didn't mommy ever tell you to respect your elders?" Right hook, left hook, stomp, it was continuous. It was a total beat down, and there Percy laid beaten to a pulp, "Now watch!" He raised his hand again to slap Artemis, but this time Zoe jumped on top of him to stop him from hurting her mistress, "Insolent BRATS!" Atlas raged as he through Zoe at a boulder, "WATCH PERCY!" Atlas stated as he raised his hand to slap Artemis.
All he could do was watch as Atlas began the descent of his hand. Water. That is what Percy felt as he looked up to see Artemis crying. It was an innocent thing, right? Someone being hit when they got hurt would cry, but Percy didn't see this. He saw utter red, "What's happening?" Atlas screamed as the mountain cracked in half and Percy stood up. From where he was beaten to a pulp a crack in the mountain had originated. It was as if the sky had been lifted off his shoulders.
"Puny titan." Percy roared as he looked at Atlas, "Do you think you can hurt MY WOMAN!" He was furious, and began to utterly destroy Atlas. It was a battle of fist, and Atlas was losing. The man had utter fear on his face as Percy began to punch him. It was like getting hit with a fucking meteor that was going forty three kilometers per second, and it hurt. Percy continued to beat him in front of Artemis.
"Percy stop!" She cried and it magically made Percy's fist come to a halt in front of the titans face, "We need him to hold the sky." Her voice was pained from all of the weight of the sky. Acknowledging this fact Percy hit Atlas one more time, and picked him up.
"Listen puny titan." Percy's voice was the absolute raw fury that originated from every mortal's soul, "Never again will you move from this spot." The titan began to fervouresly nod his head. He threw him down onto the ground in a kneeling position, and before she knew it Artemis was picked up bridal style, and carried by Percy, "Oh how I've missed you Arty." Percy whispered as he placed a kiss on her lips.
Artemis was blushing madly. Never had a man kissed her before, but this just felt right. She never had expected it to go like this though because as soon as his lips left her face he collapsed on to the ground with her falling on top of him, "What in the hades was that." She asked to no one in particular. She heard a groan, "ZOE!" SHe cried running over to her lieutenant. Blood was everywhere causing Artemis to be very scared.
"My lady…" Zoe said just above a whisper, "I need…"
"Yes Zoe anything!" Artemis was scared for her huntresses life because she never wanted Zoe to die she would be completely lost.
'I need you too get off of my leg it's bleeding profusely because a rock impaled it and your hand hurts like Hades!" She talked extremely fast and Artemis almost cried before she wrapped her arms around the lieutenant, "And I can't breath!"
"I'm sorry!" Artemis cried as she gave Zoe some space, "I just thought you had died." Artemis looked at her senior lieutenant with joy.
"My lady what, what happened." She looked over to Percy who happened to be passed out. Artemis gave a recap as she began to talk about how Percy did not let Atlas hit her, and how he was beaten to a pulp before cracking the mountain in half and completely changing the battle into his favor. She also told her about what he had done and said, "I'll kill him right here and right now, give me a bow!"
"No you can not do that!" Artemis cried as she stopped Zoe from moving, "I have understood what happened Percy's fate has been given to me." Artemis stated as she began forming a thread of the cosmos that past Percy had given to her without her knowledge of the present self, "Someone just told me in my head." Zoe looked at her as if she was insane to which Artemis explained, "Look, only people with full knowledge can control their own fate, and if he as given me his fate it is a sign of the deepest affection." THis shocked Zoe as she did not know that ehr lady had been seeing the boy, "I just do not understand how he had given it too me or why."
To say Percy was confused was an understatement. Why had he not been shot was what he was really thinking as the goddess of the hunt and her senior lieutenant had made a camp and his head was resting in the silver eyed goddesses lap, "What happened." Percy asked as visions of him fighting Atlas came into his mind.
"Do you truly not know Percy?" Artemis asked as she looked at the son of Poseidon with question, "Our fates are intertwined so I was expecting you to know." SHe stated as she looked at the boy who just looked at her in a confused manner.
"My fate?" He was very confused so Artemis decided to explain it too him.
"...And that is when you…" She was recapping the entire fight and what she had figured out as Percy nodded and his face became a smile before collapsing again.
"I am completely sorry!" He stuttered as she told him of how he kissed her. Artemis was confused, 'Why does he not remember that, and why most of all do I have his fate intertwined with mine.
"Percy can I….look into your mind?" Artemis asked as Percy looked at her and thought began to form on his face.
"If It can help us in understanding what is going on right now. Then give it a try." Percy smiled as she nodded.
Invading a person's mental space is against the ancient rules, but if she has permission she can do it as freely as she would like. What she saw astounded her. Not from the vast memories that seemed to flow around his head, but by the fact the entire area was completely white. The only exception for this was the older version of Percy sitting on a couch staring at her with a smile.
"Hello Arty." He said s she looked at him with question to which he just laughed at, "I assume you have questions so ask away." He said it in a matter of fact but also a nonchalant attitude.
"Who are you?" The question seemed simple, but as of this moment he laughed as if she already knew the question.
"My name is Percy."
"But Percy is the boy who's mind I am entering." Artemis was confused, but expected the man to answer her right away.
"Exactly." Her confusion turned into to shock as he sipped on what looked like ale as he cracked his neck, "Listen Artemis I will just answer the questions that are flowing around your head right now." He then gave her the same explanation as he had given the hunters the night he had told them who he was.
"So you are telling me you are from the future?" Artemis asked and the man was hesitant to nod.
"Well you could say I am, but the future that occurred there is different. This timeline has different meaning than the time line from my existance. Does this make since?" Percy asked as she nodded slowly, "Ok, so here is the thing. I am going to take over, but I want your past self to as well." Artemis looked at him with a bit of anger.
"What if I do not want to?" She wa a bit offended that this man would be telling her of all people to change just to be with im, "I will lose all of my memories, and the hunt will cease to exist as I begin to fall for a male." She declared as Percy just began to laugh.
"Alright Mrs. I don't trust anything you are going to do." Percy looked at her before he snapped his fingers in realization, "How about this…" That's when everything changed everyone across the world began to shake their heads as knowledge flowed into them, and demigods, and gods alike began to have a huge flash of deja vu, "There now will you allow your other self to come back?" Percy said to which Artemis looked at him funny.
"What did you do?" She made sure to draw every syllable out. Percy looked at her and grinned.
"Well to start off everyone doesn't know who I am." He said in a matter of fact tone, "Except for your hunters, Poseidon, Hades, and Nico." Percy smiled at the silver eyed woman in front of him, "So Arty will you accept me to?" She looked at him in astonishment. Everyone in the world did not know who he was by the snap of his fingers.
"I guess if you gave me your fate I can accept this." She was a little scared, but when she accepted her past emotions she was warmly accepted. It wasn't like her body was being taken over it was almost as if she was the past Artemis, and she understood why this Percy cared so much about her. All of the times they have spent together. All of the hunts they went on. How all of the hunters accepted him for who he was. She looked at the grinning man in front of her, and she understood one thing most of all: She loved Percy Jackson.
Her emotions took over her as she ran towards him and hugged him and planted many kisses on to his face. She was so happy that she pushed him down on the ground and started making out with him, "You did it!" She exclaimed, "You saved all of us, but why did you give me your fate, why did you…" SHe was abruptly interrupted by Percy planting a very emotional kiss onto her lips.
"Does that answer your question Artemis?" She nodded as he grinned, "Good." He was so happy that she was his again, "Alright let us head back to camp." She looked at him and then put her finger to her chin before grinning.
"Ok!"
To say Artemis was unpredictable was an understatement. Of course in combat she was a devilishly good fighter who could mow down anybody. She could probably even take on Atlas if the tables were turned. Well the reason it was brought up that she was unpredictable could be for the fact that she kind of just a tiny bit made Percy speechless. For you see as the three got back to camp, and all of the campers gathered around there were questions as to who Percy was. Percy of course had adorned his black hood and face mask again, and as he opened his mouth to speak Artemis grabbed his arm and let out the one thing Percy thought he would never hear in his life.
"He is my future husband." To say people were speechless was an understatement, and to say Artemis was unpredictable was also another understatement. Percy looked at her through his black hood and just shrugged. There was no point in stopping this, but what came next made him wish he had. All of the questions every camper had came flowing at once, but the one that made Artemis grin was, 'Why?' Which didn't come from any of the campers surprisingly well it did, but the why that she was grinning at came from the man standing beside her, "Well silly Percy I control your fate so I thought it perfectly reasonable to marry someone who is bound by fate."
Many people who had studied Greek mythology was shocked by this. In fact that meant every camper was shocked by this. The man hating goddess, Artemis, had her fate bound by a man. Everyone knew what this meant, an unbreakable vow. Percy just shrugged it off, but some campers were freaking out. Though, what probably triggered that was the fact Zeus dramatically entered riding a lightning bolt. He slammed into the ground with vigour before looking at Percy's eyes threateningly.
"Young man." He spoke as if he was a caring alabama father well without the accent, "What my daughter says is true, you proposed to her?" Percy took a few seconds to completely realize the situation he was in. So he just winged it and decided to tell Zeus the truth.
"Well sir, no." Zeus sighed in relief, "She basically said to me that we were going to be married." This caused Zeus to quickly turn his head towards Artemis who had a shaky grin on her face.
'Is what the boy says true?" Zeus asked with a slight edge to his voice. Artemis nodded and Zeus smiled, "well congratulation daughter you have found a man worthy of you!" He started chuckling and everyone let out a sigh of relief, "What did you think I was going to kill the boy who makes my daughter happy?" The campers and hunters looked around trying to hide as the king of the gods looked down on them, "Didn;t think so…" He looked at the two, "Well we will have the wedding tomorrow then December 19th." Percy stood shocked for a second.
"December 19th?" Percy asked as Zeus nodded and asked Percy what was wrong, "What time is it?" He sounded rushed and in a hurry.
"Almost three why?" Zeus said as he looked at the watch on his hand, "Is something wrong with that da-." He was cut off as Percy nearly shouted at the king of gods who looked at him in a shocked tone.
"TAKE EVERY CAMPER AND HUNTER AND ARTEMIS AND GO TO OLYMPUS RIGHT NOW!" Percy exclaimed and at first Zeus was questioning the boy's antics, but when Percy's aura turned black and several times more powerful than Zeus himself, well, Zeus just obeyed and took every camper back to Olympus. Artemis who always knew Percy had a plan for everything gave him a small peck on the cheek and flashed away.
Percy sat in the middle of camp half-blood and waited. It seemed like eternity and Percy was about to be happy as he started to stand up however everything changed. A massive meteor came plummeting down towards the ground and exploded destroying every cabin and a building in a mile radius. Now Percy looked up and knew everyone on Olympus who was watching gasped. At first they did not know why the boy wanted them to leave, but it was to protect them.
"Marvelous boy." A man clapped as he stepped out of the portal. He was a sickening purple color, and he seemed to be radiating a malevolent energy.
"Yog-Sothoth." Percy said shaken with anger, "I knew it you were the one back then, and you were the one who destroyed my previous world." Percy was shaking in anger as he recalled his very last memories before coming to Earth. It was the depiction of his home where the primordials resided, destroyed.
"Ah the sole survivor." Yog-Sothoth said as he began to laugh. It was a sickening sound, and it almost sounded like something no human could escape from, "Have you come to die?" Percy chuckled darkly as Yog-Sothoth ushered his hand forward, "Play with my toy for a little bit." The man that stepped next to Yog-Sothoth was none other than Kronos. He was blessed and Percu was sickened. He was angrier though. As Kronos came forward with the scythe of time Percy met him with riptide. However Percy became stopped in time.
Kronos took this chance to slash at Percy, and grin triumphantly, but it was alas for Percy's after image dissipated and the real demon himself appeared behind Kronos. Some say volcanoes are cool, so that's what Kronos had going for him something cool. Because the blood coming out of his head was just like a volcano, except for more gold then lava like, and it of course was ichor so there's that.
Percy stared at the creature in front of him. It was sickening. He stood in the form of a human, but just one look at his face and you could tell he was something that should never had existed in the first place, "Yog-Sothoth, I believe I have to give you a gift my family has given me and something that I have cultivated for you." Percy burst into a malevolent aura of darkness and light. It was what Order and Chaos had blessed him with. He became the embodiment of what a hero of light would look like. However, he was also shrouded in darkness.
"That is right young one hate me with everything you have!" Yog-Sothoth was insane and this caused Percy too feel happy he was getting rid the scum. He ran up to him, and shoved his hand right where Yog-Sothoth's heart should have been. Well the key word was should, "Is this all you have?" The old one was kind of saddened by the fact that after wiping out the primordials this is the best they could produce, "I might as well go up to Olympus and kill that pretty bride." Anyone around them could have heard the snap, and it just so happened to be Percy's mental conscience, "Ohhhh this is more like it." Yog-Sothoth jumped back as a powerful aura was released from Percy, "So all I have to do is insult that speck of nothingness? That little existence? The spek that I can so easily just wipe off the face of the universe with just a finger?" Yog-Sothoth was laughing like a mad man as Percy's aura continued to rise. The ground under them cracked. Percy's power wouldn't stop rising, "Now, now I think that's enough." Yog-Sothoth said as he was feeling that Percy was reaching his level of energy. He didn't stop. Yog-Sothoth was starting to feel threatened, "I SAID STOP." The creature screamed in an almost inaudible voice. He held his finger down, and the ground around Percy began to shatter.
Percy looked up at the beast, but it was no longer Percy who looked at him. It was almost like a demon was staring back at the creature of time, "Puny fake god." Percy's voice sounded like a baritone. Vapor released from his mouth making him look like a dragon, "For threatening my love." Percy materialized a sword with several names on it. It seemed like an old artifact from the spartan era, "For ending the previous world." Armor enveloped his body. It was Spartan like with the plume being side ways. It's trim was a pure black while its main body was silver, "I can never allow you to live." Yog-Sothoth was scared he fell down on his ass into the ground of the decimated camp half-blood.
"S-s-stay away!" He was stuttering, and it was scary to see a being the epiphany of power walking towards him slowly, "Is that what you thought I would say!" Fear had overtaken his voice as he summoned a black hole near Percy which Percy just held up his hand and decimated the creation, "Take this!" He was failing to hide the utter fear inside of him as Percy blocked the beginnings of a supernova with a small black hole.
"I hear it." Percy stated as he stopped in front of Yog-Sothoth, "The fears of the old." Percy looked down at the old one, "You will never touch this planet." Yog-Sothoth just disappeared. He didn't teleport, he didn't magically sink into the ground, he just ceased to exist. Percy had completely rid eternity of the beast. He had done it. The power started to leave his body. However unlike last time when it was absorbed into him it dispersed around him. He looked around at his ancestors who all were outlined in each of their powers. Percy smiled, and watched as they flew away.
As it turns out the powers flowed into their counterpart god, which increased each of their powers tremendously. Percy's statue was place on Olympus for he had rid the world of Kronos and the greatest threat the Pantheon had ever seen, Yog-Sothoth. When his face was revealed to model the statue after every female nearly fainted as Artemis chuckled, "You knew something like this walked the planet?" Aphrodite screamed as Artemis stuck her tongue out. He was hers after all, and she was just blessed with the best. The wedding was magnificent, and Percy and Artemis had a wonderful honeymoon. And as we enter their bedroom… Oh it's locked.
