Zoë was having a long day to say the least, Firstly falling for Heracles then helping him steal an Apple of Immortality by tricking Atlas(Her father) but when Atlas had found out it was Zoë's idea he had disowned her on the spot and set her into the middle of the garden for Ladon to feast on. A boy had come out muttering curses, but had stepped in and fought Ladon not caring for his own life but ensuring the safety of Zoë's which she was entirely for although falling asleep during the fight hadn't probably backed that up.

After waking up she had realised that Hera , The Queen of Olympus had shown up and soon learned that Zoë was a demi-titan and threatened to drag Zoë to Tartarus herself. The boy had stepped in and protected her again from the wrath of an Olympian and the Olympian Council which meant Zoë was probably eternally grateful to the Son of Poseidon. Zoë now knew what the true meaning of a hero was, Somebody who was willing to put others life in front of their own personal means.

She was quickly broken out of her thoughts by the Boy(Who's name she had no clue) who had asked her a question but Zoë was to preoccupied with her thoughts so she just replied with "What?". The boy could clearly hear the confusion etched into her voice but repeated his question "Do you know how to fight?" Styx Zoë thought, she had no clue how to fight and the only weapons she had was Anaklusmos after Heracles had just left it their lying on the ground forgetting all memories of Zoë.

"I can't fight" Zoë admitted feeling slightly worse because she didn't want to put pressure on the boy who had already protected her many times in a short span of time.

The boy just smiled and replied with "That's fine I'll just have to teach you then, Would you prefer to use a bow and arrow or use a close range weapon?" The boy questioned still walking parallel with her. Zoë thought for a moment considering the pros and cons of each weapon, With a bow she could fight long range being accurate but also with close range advantages such as using the arrows as a knife. Where as with a close range weapon she could deliver swift movements and use her agility to her advantage.

"What's your name by the way?" Zoë asked still unsure of the boys name who she felt was he was like her own bodyguard.

"Sorry" The boy said rubbing his neck sheepishly "It's Perseus but you can call me Percy" The name brought a smile to Zoë's lips as it meant to destroy yet the Son of Poseidon probably didn't like to destroy things.

"Why was Ladon attacking you?" Percy asked tactlessly , he saw Zoë tense and shuffle nervously "I mean you don't have to tell me..." Percy continued seeing

"Anyway Percy could I be trained with a bow and a knife?" Zoë asked unsure of the answer, Percy laughed and took the bow from his back and handed it to Zoë "See if you can hit that tree" pointing to a random tree about sixty yards away.

Percy observed Zoë setting her feet shoulder width apart and taking aim, Zoë thought her aim would've been spot on but Percy had walked up behind her and repositioned her elbow slightly and walked back again, Zoë shot thinking it would go wide of the tree but to her surprise it struck the dead centre of the tree.

"How did you know that I needed to adjust my aim Percy?" Zoë asked genuinely interested in how he could judge where to move her elbow from a sideways view he was at. Percy shrugged replying "Just a feeling, it's like a sixth sense because it comes to you" Zoë mused over his words, Percy was an interesting character but was also wise and had knowledge over the wilderness.

They continued walking through the jungle foliage until Percy came to an abrupt stop then looked at the surrounding area and crouched down touching his tattoo bringing his trident out. "What is it Percy?" Zoë asked unsure of what Percy was doing.

"Don't you feel it?" Percy asked , Zoë shook her head. Hearing rustling in the bushes beside them and looked up just in time to see the Hell Hound fly out of the bush towards Zoë. On pure instinct he hurled his trident at the beast about to attack Zoë, The trident hit the Hound with full force and shattered it into golden dust all over Zoë.

"Well that was close" Percy commented pulling himself to his feet from his crouched position. Zoë glared and retorted back "A warning would have been nice" Percy however didn't feel affronted by the remark. Laughing at Zoë trying to get the dust off her clothes who glared at him which in turn made him laugh even more. When the dust had finally been disposed off Percy offered his hand saying "Shall we get going my lady?", Zoë bit back a sarcastic reply which she would of loved to use such as 'So you can act like a gentleman'.

Swatting his hand away trying to prove she was capable by herself, pulling herself to her feet asking "Where are we going oh great one?"

"To a city" Percy replied walking along the forest path "Unless sleeping in forests with millions of insects is what you prefer" he added at the end ensuring that Zoë knew why they were visiting a city to sleep rather than on the woodland floor.

"How do you know where we are going then?" Zoë asked unsure of how they were travelling to the city, clearly not wanting to get lost in a forest.

Percy smiled and pointed towards the sky "Look closely and you'll be able to see the starts, one specific set or formation that looks like a wave" Zoë scoured the sky looking for the constellation Percy had mentioned, when Zoë had seen the constellation she marvelled about how beautiful it looked in the moonlit sky, It really looked like an actual wave.

"That's my star and I can always tell where I am in relation to it" Percy commented stargazing looking happier then before, Zoë looked at Percy in awe of the fact the 13 year old boy beside her had a constellation in memory off him for generations to come. "So how exactly did you get to be in the stars?" Zoë asked still starstruck (No pun intended).

"I had done a favour for Artemis and her huntresses, I was on my quest and camping outside in a forest when I had come across a hunter, her name was Phoebe, badly losing blood during a close up fight with a cyclops. I killed the cyclops healing her to the best of my abilities and nurtured her back to full health and returned her back to the hunt which Artemis thought being in the stars for eternity was a reward for my help" Percy said telling his anecdotal story, Zoë was shocked that he couldn't really car about being respected by a Goddesses and of all the Gods it would be Artemis.
