Hey guys! You can't get away from this story that easily! I am grateful to those who have read it and the support is great. I am getting a beta reader very soon so hopefully my likely crappy stories will go up to at least manageable. I will have to get one heck of a beta to reach that goal though. Enough talking, on with the story!

Disclaimer: Seriously guys, my writing is crap compared to the level of the god RR is. I think he should be the 13th Olympian.

Percy POV

I strolled into the apartment of my aunt Hestia. She would use it to protect demigods in need, a bit like the Waystation in Indianapolis. Recently it had been used to protect the bundle of sugar and energy covered by skin that was me.

I'd always loved this apartment, the homely, warm feeling it gave me. I walked over to the magical fire pit in the middle of the kitchen to cook myself some bacon as I had been driven out of the hunt without breakfast for waking everyone up at 3:30am. I summoned a fireball and lit the fire.

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. When Mom and Aunt Hestia adopted me from that bastard traitor Poseidon they gave me their blessings to help me survive. I could summon fire, food and things that would be in a loving home. I just preferred to cook food as it tasted better and conjuring it tired me out. From my Mom I got perfect night vision, the ability to run at the speed of sound for a bit and impeccable skills with a bow.

From my traitor father, Poseidon, I got the ability to conjure water, when I am in water it heals me, and the ability to speak to horses and sea creatures. I went to the kitchen cupboards and retrieved the holy bacon. I suspended it over the fire and waited. Well, waited for about five seconds then started pacing around and humming as my ADHD kicked in. Soon the bacon was ready. I dropped the food in my mouth, not even getting a plate, savouring its flavour.

I heard the door being unlocked so I turned around, my arms out wide. "Aunt Hestia!" She waited for me to come to her then hugged me. After a moment she stopped. "Now what is this I hear about you waking the Hunt up at 3:30 this morning young man?" She demanded. I rubbed the back of my neck sheepishly.

"Anyway, I've got a gift for you," my aunt said. "Really!"I exclaimed. She gave a light chuckle. She presented me with a scabbard with silver flames on it. "It may seem a bit weird now but just wait until your birthday tomorrow." I almost started jumping around as my ADHD recognised the great word 'birthday'.

Next Day

1:00am

Artemis POV

I sat up groggily, knowing that today would be a day full of Percy running around and Percy jumping everywhere. Then I heard a male voice singing loudly. "It's my birthday, it's my birthday today! Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday dear Percy-the-coolest-and-most-awesome-guy-ever-BTW-totally-didn't-get-that-from-Uncle-Apollo," A deep breath was audible at that point. "Happy birthday TO ME!" I rolled my eyes at his adorable antics and made a note to not let him near Apollo for the next 2000 years. I started to get dressed and morphed into my 30-year-old form.
