Chapter .2.
Artemis makes them appear in the camp. Percy barely had enough to look around when he had dozens of arrows pointed at him. All looking like they wanted to kill. All but Thalia who lowers her bow and was gapping like a fish.
"Kelp Head is that you?" Thalia asks
"It is my Pinecone Face", Percy says cheekily
Thalia sees all the pain and grief in his eyes and wondered what had happened to him since the last time she saw him. He didn't act like his normal cheerful self.
"What happened to you Percy?" Thalia asks but before she gets an answer the other hunters intervene
"Is this boy lost?", a hunter says
"Why are you with a boy M'Lady", Atlanta asks
"This boy", Artemis starts but Percy glares at her, "Has been voted by the Council as our Guardian"
There was immediately protests from everyone but Thalia who was happy that her cousin was here. But why wasn't he at Camp?
"They can't do that!" Phoebe yells
"This boy will be like all the others. A disgusting pig", Atlanta sneers
"I made an oath to protect you all and that is what I will do. I always promised that I would need hit on the Hunters. I vowed on the River Styx. And I hate the guys that treat women the way you think all men are. I am not a man that will abuse or mistreat women you have my word on the River Styx", Percy vows
A boom of thunder lets everyone know that the oath was accepted.
"We have no choose to but accept his girls. But you will be able to have some fun with him. But he is to be respected", Artemis tells all of them
"Why Milday?" a hunter asks
"Percy is not on the Olympian Council", Artemis informs they
They all gasp in shock and Percy just looks at them stone faced.
"He is only a filthy male demigod", Atlanta protests
"That is not accurate. I was given Godhood by the fates a short time ago. I even have domains", Percy informs they
"What are they Percy?" Thalia asks smiling even though she was shocked
"I am the God of Life, Earth, Protection, Selflessness, Bravery, Courage, Valiance, Chivalry, Heartbreak, Secrets, Whispers, Dedication, Mystery, Time, Reality, Boundaries, Oaths, Honour, Space, Loyalty, Betrayed, Immortality, Swordsmanship, Powers, Lakes, and Rivers. I am also the Minor God Sea, Weather, Earthquakes, Animals, Horses, and Magic", Percy explains
The Hunters try not to look at him in awe but they don't succeed very much.
"Percy how did all of this happen?" Thalia asks
"Maybe we can talk in private?" Percy suggests, "If that is ok with Lady Artemis"
"Very well don't be long", Artemis says with a sigh
Thalia takes person out into the forest and they sit down a few hundred metres from the camp. Just as they sit down the shadows change and Nico arrived looked at Percy with compassion.
"I am sorry Percy", Nico says sitting down on the other side of Percy
"Thanks Corpse Breath. Why are you hear?" Percy asks
"Dad told my you were here and was going to need my support after some people close to you died. Father didn't tell me who. He said it was up to you", Nico replies
"What happened Percy?" Thalia asks his
"The campers all turned on me Thalia. Brett and Dale Rodgers who are your twin brothers turned the whole camp against me. And Brett slept with Annabeth just when I was going to propose", Percy informs her looking sad with a tear falling
Thalia couldn't believe Annabeth had did that. Especially to Percy. She raised Annabeth better then what she did. She could see how much this was effecting Percy. Obviously this had happened within the last day or two. And the Campers over many weeks.
Nico planned on running his sword through those campers who dared treated Percy like crap. They would pay for making Percy's eyes look distraught and heartbroken. He would get them back ten fold for what they did to Percy.
"What happened next?" Nico asks
"I went to go be with my Mother and Step-Father but when I got there they Paul was already died and Mum was mortally wounded", Percy says in tears
"Of my god Sally. That was what Dad was talking about", Nico says upset
Nico remembered how Sally had take him in like a son. She was great person to go to when you needed advice. He felt the grief of Sally as like losing another mother.
"Sally? I can't believe it. She was so nice. When did this happen?" Thalia asks upset
"A few hours ago", Percy says with a sob
Thalia pulls Percy into her arms and the both of them cry together. Nico hugs Percy two. Between Thalia and Nico, Percy was in a group hug. All of them sharing their grief with each other.
Soon they begin to settle done but they sat closely together.
"What happened next?" Nico asks softly
"I went to Olympus and asked for them to…kill me", Percy says hesitantly
Nico and Thalia gasp in shock. They couldn't believe Percy nearly killed himself by the gods. They were lucky the Gods saw fit to help Percy.
"Well you not dead. So there is more to the story", Thalia states
"Yes Lord Zeus put me as Guardian of the Hunt. And it was voted to give me godhood which I accepted", Percy replies
"What are your domains?" Nico asks
"I am the God of Life, Earth, Protection, Selflessness, Bravery, Courage, Valiance, Chivalry, Heartbreak, Secrets, Whispers, Dedication, Mystery, Time, Reality, Boundaries, Oaths, Honour, Space, Loyalty, Betrayed, Immortality, Swordsmanship, Powers, Lakes, and Rivers. I am also the Minor God Sea, Weather, Earthquakes, Animals, Horses, and Magic", Percy says
"Those are so call Percy!" Nico says excited for Percy
"Your one of only a few Gods to have so many domains. I wonder if Dad would do anything about this", Thalia muses
"Well he offered me a place on the Olympian Council as the first Child of Poseidon to get a seat on the council", Percy informs them
"Did you accept?" Nico asks
"I did. I have got my own throne now. And I am speaking with Lady Athena tomorrow for her to start building my temple", Percy replies
"That is cool Percy. I bet your Dad was proud", Nico says smiling
"He was. I also got blessings by some of the Gods and Goddesses", Percy says
"Which ones?" Thalia asks curiously
Percy tells they all about which Gods and Goddesses gave him powers and Thalia and Nico were all stunned by how much power their cousin now had.
"What about the wings?" Nico asks
"The Fates that did my godhood ceremony granted me the wings I don't know why. I am going to have to get used to them", Percy replies
"I bet my Dad didn't like that", Thalia says smirking happily
"He was surprisingly good about it. It shocked me too", Percy replies
"What is with the dogs and wolf?" Nico asks
"They were gifts. The two German Shepherds are Dusk and Dawn. The wolf is named Ultra. They are to be my companions now", Percy replies putting Dawn on the head.
"When are you going to face the Campers?" Nico asks
"In a few days. But I will have a hood over my head. I don't want any of the Campers knowing about my spot on the council at this time. I just want time to get used to everything", Percy informs them
"So who have you still got as friends?" Thalia asks timidly
"You two. Clarisse, Chris, Frank, Hazel, Jason, Piper, Leo and Reyna", Percy replies sadly
"Don't be said Perce. They don't know what they lost to its gone. They will eventually find out the truth and they will be begging you to come back", Nico says wisely
"I won't be taking them back as friends for a while. As they really hurt me", Percy admits
"Well you still have us Shellhead", Thalia says hugging him
Nico gives a short hug to Percy too.
"You will get through this Percy. And we will be right beside you all the way. Your my big brother and I will always be by your side", Nico says
"Brother?" Percy asks shocked
"You kind off took Bianca's place as an older sibling. You always treated me like a brother. And I have felt for a while you were like a protective older brother. I just decided you needed to hear it", Nico replies blushing, "If that is alright with you"
"It is more then fine Corpse Breath. I need more family", Percy says hugging Nico
"We will always be your family. And I feel like your my little brother", Thalia says smirking
"Little brother?" Percy asks raising an eyebrow
"Yes. I AM older then you. So your my little brother who I will protect. And you will be the little brother that annoys me to no end", Thalia says grinning
"You really mean that?" Percy asks
"Definably", Thalia says
Percy pulls her into a hug.
"Thank you Thals", Percy says
"Your welcome Percy. All us family have to stick together", Thalia replies
"I second that", Nico adds hugging them
"HEY WHAT ARE YOU BOYS DOING TO THALIA!" the hunter Phoebe yells angrily
"They are just hugging my Phoebe", Thalia replies rolling her eyes
"They both are disgusting males. They shouldn't be anywhere near you", Atlanta says
"They are my brothers by choose. I don't need your permission to hug them. So I suggest you leave us allow", Thalia says with a growl
"I have to go now Thalia, Percy. I will be back for the hearing about the Campers. Would you like that Percy?" Nico asks
"That would be great Nico", Percy replies
"I will take to my father then. Goodnight", Nico says disappearing into the trees
"Come on lets get dinner", Thalia says to Percy
Percy gets up an holds out his hand to Thalia and pulls her up. They go back to the camp with smiles on their faces.
"Jackson you need to cook for us", Artemis says
'How am I meant to do that?' Percy thinks
'You use my powers I gave you. Just think of the food the person wants and it will appear exactly as they ordered it", Hestia says to him
'Thank you Lady Hestia', Percy thinks back
Percy makes his way to the end of the table.
"What do your all want?" Percy ask
They give out their orders none of them think Percy would be able to do it. But each time he got an order he envisioned it and the food would appear in his hand and he passed it to the person who ordered it.
"How did you do that?" a hunter asks
"I have Hestia's blessing so I can conjure up food", Percy replies
The hunter looks at the food unsure.
"I swear on the River Styx I haven't tampered with the food in anyway", Percy says with a sigh
After that all the others put their orders into food. And all the hunters were talking to each other pointy ignoring Percy.
But Thalia was talking to Percy to keep him included. Artemis saw this and wondered just how deep the bond was between them.
After everyone had eaten desert Percy was left with the dishes but Thalia stays to help with a smile. After that was down Percy approaches Artemis.
"Milady is it alright if I practice my flying?" Percy asks
"Very well just don't go far from the camp", Artemis replies
Percy flexes his black, gold, silver, turquoise and violet wings and launches himself into the sky and he feels free. And it helped him to think about how quickly this day had gone with his leaving camp, his mum being killed, asking to be killed by the gods, becoming Guardian of the Hunt, then a god and it had only been a few hours!
Percy knew he had a long way to go but he felt hopeful he would get there with his true friends helping him. And his siblings all but blood Nico and Thalia with him. Maybe life would get better. Percy thinks as he sets up a tent and goes inside to sleep for the night before he would go to Olympus to design his temple with Lady Athena. So with those thoughts he goes to sleep hoping everything would be ok…
