Hello Guys, thanks for the reviews on the last chapter, it means a lot that people like my story .

Well, here is the next chapter in the story, I hope you'll it. Without further ado, let's get to the story shall we?

Percy POV

"I want to…" I paused and look up at the King of the Gods before I said "Die". My eyes were dull and showed no emotion as if life itself had left them.

The council room fell completely silent before my father broke into a huge uproar. It took the help of his two sisters, Hera and Hestia to calm him down enough so they could question my decision.

Zeus looked at me incredulous before asking "Why do you wish to die, young hero?". I could feel the pressure of all the eyes of the Gods. I turned and looked at each and every one of them. I met the eyes of fury in Ares, the loving eyes of Hestia full of kindness and concern. My eyes wandered from God to God to Goddess. Then they met the silvery eyes of Artemis. There was something in the way she looked at me, as if she was concerned for me. However, I dismissed it as merely foolishness as she wasn't exactly known for her kindness towards men or boys.

"I have nothing left, my mother and stepfather along with my unborn mortal little sister were killed during the war, my ex-girlfriend didn't love me after all and had been cheating on me with the son of Ares. Almost nobody talk to me at camp anymore, I'm practically a ghost there and if so I'd rather be in the underworld where I can maybe see my mother" I finished a few tears had fallen from my eyes.

Silence filled the room. I stood under the gaze of every God and Goddess. Some were smiling while others looked shocked. My father's face showed deep sadness at my words.

"Very well Percues if that is what you wish then we will grant it" Zeus said at last. I let out a deep sigh that I could finally leave this world.

"Wait" someone said aloud. All eyes turned towards the one who had spoken up. I lifted my heads and looked with a pained expression on whoever wanted to prolong my suffering. To say I was shocked was and understatement. The one who had spoken up didn't fit in with everything I knew of her. Her silver eyes seemed to bore themselves into mine, into my very core.

"There is another way" she said.

Artemis POV

"There is another way" I said and I knew that some of my fellow council members perked up at this. Poseidon seemed to try and grasp for the answer with his eyes. It felt a bit uncomfortable, however, I had to do something. I couldn't very well let one of the best heroes we had ever had, die like this. Is that really why you don't want him to die? A voice spoke in my mind. I merely dismissed it and told myself that there were no other reason then that. Yet it sounded wrong, even in my head, but I ignored it regardless.

I could feel that the others were waiting for me to continue.

"You said that you had nothing left? I know my lieutenant care for you, like a brother, and would be devastated if you'd die now. Besides, if you have nothing to do, why don't we find something for you?" I said and looked at our young hero.

He had defeated Kronos and then he had helped put Gaea back to sleep. He had done more than most demigod would even dream of.

He looked at me with wonder in his eyes. I assumed it was because it had been me who had spoken up instead of any other. Why aren't you just true to yourself? Tell him what's really bothering you the voice taunted inside my head. I looked towards Aphrodite to see if she was the one playing tricks on me. However, she seemed more interested in young Perceus.

The Gods began discussing different jobs for him. Before I could say anything Hestia beat me to it.

"He could be my champion and help rescue demigods all over and bring them to the safety of the camp, or if they are girls, to the hunt if they so desire. I know for a fact that some of you have kept some of your children safe from this war instead of claiming like you promised Perceus after the war with father" she said shocking many of us.

I looked at Perceus to see what he wanted. He seemed deep in thought and I was just about to suggest that he could sleep on it.

"I accept Lady Hestia" he said unwavering and with new determination evident on his face. Poseidon seemed happy that his son at last showed something else than emptiness.

Hestia stood from the heart and changed her form until she was an adult. She looked like she could have been young Perceus's mother. She placed her hands on his shoulders and whispered ancient Greek chants. He slowly glowed a warm orange color. The color of Hestias own flames.

"Now you are my champion. You have been granted the ability to use fire on equal terms if your water powers. You are resistant to fire and you can summon homecooked food." She said with a big smile. I had never seen Hestia as happy as she was now.

A few other Gods had silently blessed him as well, but I didn't know who. I only knew that my brother Apollo had blessed him and the fact that I unconsciously had done it was well.

Hestia turned to her brother. "Please dear brother give him immortality" she said shocking young Perceus who seemed tired.

Zeus reluctantly did so and I couldn't help but feel happy that he would live forever among us. He wasn't a God like us, but he wouldn't die and he could still help the demigods if they needed his help.

"My dear Champion, I have a task for you. There is a girl I want you to bring to Artemis's hunters. I want you to punish her foster parents for reasons you will soon know." She said and placed her hand on Perceus before he vanished in flames.
