Artemis's PoV:

I was standing where I had just been captured, horrified as Percy went under the ground. The earth quickly toughened up again, leaving no chance to follow them.

Despite how he had just saved my life for his own, I was slightly annoyed. Even if I had grudgingly admitted to respecting him slightly, he seemed to prove me weak by saving me.

I stomped my foot in frustration. I knew I was starting to fall for Percy, but I couldn't let myself. I had prided myself for being the goddess of maidenhood, one who never fell in love. If I lost that title... what would I be?

Rubbing my eyes, I noticed something glimmer on the ground. Curious, I picked it up. It was his pen-sword, Riptide. The sword was one of the reasons many monsters feared him, so why would he leave it?

Finally looking up, I realized all the monsters had disappeared. What was left was a field of golden monster dust, and bodies of demigods that were defeated in battle. All the gods and their children were kneeling by their brothers or sisters' dead bodies.

I walked over to my hunters, where they had tears all over their faces. Thalia, upon seeing me, stood up.

"Lady Artemis, we have ten out of us thirty dead..." She sniffed before tears started pouring out of her eyes. As she was a lieutenant, each of the Hunters was her sister and comrade. Losing one was hard, but ten?

I nodded, looking at the bodies lying peacefully on the ground. Ten hunters, now in peace. "We will give them a proper burial, and I'll make sure they achieve Elysium. " The live hunters nodded mutely.

I walked over to Poseidon, who was kneeling at where Percy had sacrificed himself. He looked up at me, and I was surprised to see tears on his face. He was a god, one of the Big Three. Watching him cry was rare, but understandable. He had just lost his favourite son, after all.

Standing up, Poseidon wiped the tears off his face. "Emergency meeting in ten, back at Mount Olympus. Your hunters are required." He muttered.

I nodded, before going back to my hunters to see them in the same position. "Hunters, we have a meeting at Olympus. We'll give them a proper burial." They all nodded, despite the tears streaming down their faces. Snapping my finger, I teleported us all back to Olympus.

The moment we arrived, I walked into the throne room. Most of the other gods were already there. Only Poseidon was missing. I transformed myself taller and sat at my throne. All of the demigods dead were in the middle of the room, while my Hunters sat around the base of my throne.

Zeus cleared his throat. "Does anyone know where Poseidon is?" He questioned. At that very moment, there was a flash and Poseidon appeared, tear stains still over his face. He grew taller and slouched on his throne without saying a word. An awkward silence surrounded us.

Finally, Poseidon broke the silence. "Are we going to start, or are we going to sit here saying nothing for the whole day while my only demigod son is stuck with Gaea?" He muttered.

Zeus glared at him, but it was ignored. He sighed. "We are here as an unexpected event has occurred. We lost one of our most important demigods, Perseus Jackson. Also, as there is a break in the war, it would give time to mourn for the dead."

All of the gods stood up, and transformed back to the normal human size. Zeus snapped his fingers and we were all teleported to a amphitheatre. The dead bodies were already covered in shrouds.

I walked back to where my Hunters were huddled together. They had stricken faces at the deaths of ten hunters. Hunters were sisters, which provided comfort and friendship, but it caused the news of deaths to be more painful.

What use was winning a war if it only bought deaths?

Time skip-after the burial.

We were all back in the throne room. Poseidon was still depressed, but seemed happier than before due to Hestia comforting him. I smiled at her, who smiled back shyly. She was always the one who could stop arguments.

Zeus started the meeting. "As you all may have noticed, we are missing a leader. He was-and hopefully still is- a hero of this current age. However, he sacrificed himself to save Artemis." Everyone looked at me. I responded by gazing around the room. Noticing my discomfort, Zeus continued.

"We now have quite a problem. Percy Jackson is now with Gaea. I hate to say this, but we can't win the war without him. Does anyone know whe-"

A sudden flash blinded us all for a second. When we managed to see again, a rolled up scroll was lying on the ground. It had a Eta symbol on it, proving it was Hephaestus's.

I looked up at Hephaestus, who had an equally confused face. Suddenly, I heard a gasp from one of his sons. Leo rushed up and grabbed the scroll, before unrolling it. Hephaestus stood up.

"Leo, what are you doing?" He thundered.

Instead of replying, Leo pressed a button that I hadn't noticed. He grinned.

"It's my good ol' video scroll! The one I made! It was missing, but at least now I have it back!"

I rolled my eyes at his attitude; until I noticed his eyes go wide. He gasped, pulling out a... Wii remote? However, it wasn't a time to laugh. He pressed a few buttons, enlarging the screen so it floated in the air.

What we could see shocked us all.

It was an image of Percy, chained to the wall, mouth open in shock as blood dripped down.

(Was going to end here, but decided to be kind xD)

Percy's PoV:

The moment I woke up, I felt like passing out again. I had a killer headache, resonating in my skull. When I raised my hand to massage my temple, I realized I couldn't.

That woke me up quick.

Now alert, I glanced around at where I was, assessing the situation. My hands and feet were shackled with bronze chains onto a wall of mud right behind me. I was in a room, where there was no door.

For a second, I wondered if I was back in Hade's dungeons, then I reminded myself that we had become 'friends'. If you counted not killing each other on sight as friends.

The ground in front of me shifted and Gaea rose, a smirk on her face. I glared at her, tugging my chains again. "Why chain me up? I volunteered to join you. This isn't a good welcome ceremony..." I snarled.

Gaea laughed, before holding my chin with her hand and tilting my head up. I tried to break out, but she had a nasty grip. "Your fatal flaw is Personal Loyalty. I know you won't betray the gods. If you really want to join me, swear on the Styx."

I hesitated. Sure, I could destroy her army from the inside, but what use was that if I promised to work for her?

I stretched my senses, noticing the water in the walls. Of course! They were made of mud! I was such a seaweed brain sometimes.
Concentrating on my powers, I tried to draw water from the walls. Before realizing I couldn't.

Gaea, noting my confusion, smiled. "These chains are Celestial bronze, designed by the gods themselves. It disables any powers from the person it's chaining. To sum it up, you're powerless right now. Going to consider joining me?"

I scoffed. "Yeah, right. And I'm Zeus. Whatcha going to do about it?"

She grinned, which added to my discomfort even more. Reaching into the ground, she pulled out a taser. Crackling with electricity at the tip, she put it to my chest and powered it up, earning a girly shriek from me. She smirked. "You can have quite a bit of torture."

Oh, boy.


Third chapter! I'll try upload quicker next time!

Anyway, I had loads of reviews for chapter two! Thanks to everyone that had reviewed, it helped my morale!

The part where Percy is going to have his memories altered is going to start later.

I'm going to try improve lengths for these chapters, but I ain't much a fan of long chapter writing.

Anyway, thanks!

REVIEW! PLEASE!
