An unexpected respect.

Artemis POV

THE THRONE ROOM

Perseus. He was a kind hearted male. He was a male that Zoe came to respect. Disbelief was written all over my face when the daughter of Athena left him for godhood. Who would have had thought that this would happen. His fatal flaw was loyalty yet a girl betrayed him. And then Perseus, no he has earned my respect, Percy, accepted Godhood. Everyone was thinking about him getting minor domains but we were all shocked when he was declared God of time and water. He literally ruled over his father now and even us in just terms of powers. His power made me choke and gods don't choke.

Flashback

The giant war

I with my hunters was fighting my bane; Gration. He had managed to injure all of my hunters except Thalia. "Artemis I am going to marry you after I win and I'll even keep your hunters for entertainment", he said with a evil grin. That got me very angry. I attacked him with a flurry of attacks but he blocked them all. Thalia was shooting bolts of electricity at him but she was starting to tire and the bolts were not really affecting him. I kept shooting arrows at him with an accuracy and speed that none has. Well I am the goddess of archery; explains all this but he was my bane so he just dodged them as if it were nothing. I took out my hunting knives and ran towards him. I had to save my hunters and I would do anything for that. I ran with a look of determination and attacked him. I slashed he blocked with his own hunting knife. I slashed again in his chest but he simply step sided and caught both my hands with his one hand. "Milady!" Thalia screamed but she was busy fighting the earthborns that Gaea sent after her.

"So Artemis are you going to marry me and live or will you fade.", he gave me the evil smirk again. I wanted to punch his face so hard right now but he had me bounded in his hands. I thrashed and kicked him but he didn't even bulge. I spat at his face." This is my answer." His smirk was changed into an angry glare but then he smiled again. "I will make you fade Artemis but only after I have my way with you." The look of horror on my face would be the reason of that evil smile. I kicked him again and again but it was of no use. I felt hopeless. I felt mortal right now. I had the power to do nothing.

Nobody could save me but how wrong I was. Just as Gration was about to tear my hunting uniform he was splashed on the face by water. Was it salt water? Yes it was salt water. I looked up and saw a person who looked very pissed. He was Perseus Jackson and the glare he was giving Gration was so much fierce that if he was giving Me that glare then I would have hidden behind my mommy. Wait I can't have these thought. I am Artemis. "Gration" Percy said in a deadly calm voice that gave me shivers. "Be ready to die because after I am done with you. You will not go to Tartarus to reform, you will fade. I swear on the river Styx."

I was analyzing in my godly mind what he said. Gration dropped me and attacked Percy with a rage that I had never seen. Percy just stood there with riptide and waited calmly for him to attack. His aura was so intimidating and so powerful that I thought he was Poseidon himself when he was angry and that was so rare as Poseidon is rarely angry. He step sided and stabbed his foot. Gration yelled in pain. Percy then created man ice spears. Such power for a son of Poseidon was unusual. Never in my entire life did I see a son of Poseidon so strong. Everything about Percy screamed power! He impaled the Giant with hundreds of ice spears and nailed him to the ground. I could just watch as he displayed his powers. He controlled water as he was the personification of water. He created a big fist of ice and a hand made of the same which was big for the giant. He lifted the giant by one hand and smashed the fist on Gration and let's say it was a mess.

Gration was just smashed to pulp midair. The earth wasn't connected to Gration. That was a brutal way to kill someone. He didn't reform and he killed the Giant without the help of a god. Perseus Jackson killed a giant and without the help of a god. What was he? So it means finally he faded and now not even Gaea can help him to reform. In between that mess Percy Jackson was standing still the rage in his sea green eyes the rage was directed to Gaea who just laughed at his insolence.

He charged Gaea head on. His eyes looked like there was a storm raging in them, a storm powerful enough to destroy earth itself. Gaea just had woken up so she still was not in her full power. Percy just ran towards her with his sword Riptide in his hands. He slashed his sword in an downward arc but Gaea just step sided and laughed. "Hey granny, be ready for a beating of your long life as I am gonna kick your ass", he said. Leave it to Percy Jackson to make fun of a primordial when they are fighting. I didn't know whether to laugh at his words or go over there to kick some seriousness into him. Gaea just back handed him in anger and laughed. Her evil laugh was making him more and more angry and water in the atmosphere was condensing near him to form a hurricane. Wind and water together. His aura went on to such a sight that it was visible even to the visible eye. He became much faster and attacked again. Gaea for once was surprised. She was unable to dodge his stab and was stabbed where her heart was. "You are not allowed to interfere. I was going to win!", shouted Gaea towards the sky. With that she dissolved into the earth and was sent to her eternal sleeping again. In all this we forgot that Gaea was not defeated like the prophesy stated.

Flashback end

We were all shocked that Perseus suddenly vanished from our site. The throne room went to an uproar. "Where is my son!" said Poseidon roared looking towards Hera accusingly. "I don't know brother" was the only thing she said. Zeus Ordered, "Everyone search for Perseus Jackson. I want him here."

With that we all flashed out to find our savior.

AN- Well that was a short one. Sorry for the delay. I can't really explain myself but I got a lot of stuff to do. Next one will be Percy again. We will see what happens with him. Wasn't that too obvious to say. Stay tuned. I am going to write a long one next time I promise. It may take a week or two but this time I'll be consistent.
