New Species, New me. Ch. 4

(Artemis's POV)

I was shocked, and that was putting it lightly. But what happen next shocked me even more. As we were staring at the spot the fates had vanished from, the figure of our attention began to glow with a golden light. It was that bright, unnaturally so, that even Apollo had to shield his eyes for fear of going blind. As the light died down, Percy stood. With a few major changes.

A shimmering silver garb adorned his torso, not unlike the Nightingales of Old, that draped at the waist of the right side of his body. Apparently liking the theme, his jeans followed suit. A silver-blackish colour dyed his jeans similar to the midnight black of his hair. The whole outfit clung tightly to his body, accenting every aspect of his muscled figure. Even his eye color had changed from its sea green to a metallic gold. And maybe I was laying it on thick, but I honestly thought he was the hottest man, 'boy' the man-hating part of me said, I had ever seen. Comparing Cupid to him would be an insult, to Percy of course, in my biased opinion. His left hand held a unusual bow, one which I did not recognize. Apollo seemed to however, as his face turned white. Completing the set, a quiver of what looked like Ancient Nordic arrows fit on his back. Aphrodite squealed, deafening me, which brought me out of my trance.

"What?" he asked, completely oblivious to his own body changes. Even his voice had changed. It was now melodious and deep, a huge change from his previously light and sweet voice. He paused to listen to his own voice. It was then that he realized that something had changed about him.

"Dude, you have wings. That's wicked!" Hermes exclaimed, summoning a huge mirror so that Percy could see himself. We heard a gasp as he saw his reflection. He then reached around his back to touch his wings, as if to check if they were real. Another squeal sounded, and I didn't even have to look. Aphrodite, practically raping him if the way she was eying him was any indication. I wish she looked at me like that... Percy too, for that matter. As much as I hated it. I sighed, louder than I meant too obviously, as the throne stopped and stared at me. As anyone would do I blushed in embarrassment and looked away. They looked strangely at me before continuing on. (A/N: Sorry I kinda suck at writing in first person, I am trying my best though.)

My father cleared his throat loudly, succeeding in capturing his audiences attention yet again. No-one liked an angry Zeus. Not because he was powerful, oh-ho no, it was because he threw a tantrum equal to a toddlers if he didn't get his way.

"I am sure I do not need to explain his titles, as you were present. He has, however, been appointed the newest member of our prestigious and glorious council." Poseidon rolled his eyes, "So it has been said, so it shall be. Hail, Perseus Jackson!"

"Hail!" We dutifully replied.

I was slightly surprised that Zeus had inducted him into the council without a fight, but as explained by the fates, he had no choice as they were orders from Chaos.

A sudden whoosh sounded as a pitch black flash appeared. It was Hades. "What is the meaning of this?" He roared. "This, this, BOY has barely entered godhood yet is an Olympian already! I, on the other hand, have waited for over three millennia, have I not? This is unacceptable! I do not agree to this! "

"Olympus does not welcome you brother, leave."

"I demand an answer Zeus. To avoid me would be foolish."

"Hades," Poseidon tried to reason, "the fates declared it so. We have no authority to decline them." Yet Hades wouldn't seem to listen. They went back to arguing as we sat silently on our thrones. I snook a glance over to Percy, and supressed a grin as I saw him shuffling uncomfortably from one foot to another. He looked up at me and smiled his adorable smile which the feminine side of me couldn't help but coo at. It was just so, so cute. I shuddered, I never want to hear myself say that word again.

A sinister laugh came from around us,

"I know that voice." Percy whispered, seemingly scared. Meanwhile my father, the idiot, decided to speak up... "Who dare threaten us?"

The voice laughed mockingly, "

Your arrogance knows no bounds Zeus, you do not even bother to learn your betters. I am Khaos, the creator. Hades!"

We felt a shiver run down our back as he finished.

"My liege?" Hades questioned fearfully.

"I forbid you to interfere with internal Olympic matters. "

"Yes, my lord."

"Good. Now, I shall take my leave."

The voice dissappeared.

Hades, while being scared shitless, flashed away. Suddenly, a small quake originated from all around. When it was was finished, a golden-turqouise throne rose with a wave pattern imprinted upon it. Percy whistled in appreciation, and, guessing that it was his, sat in it.

"Now, there is also the matter of Percy's education."

"Wait, What? Education?"

"You don't seriously expect to control your powers and domains straight away, do you? You need to learn how to control them and use them to their full potential. As the only god with the experience of managing as many domains as you have, Apollo shall be your teacher. Any objections?"

When no one said anything, Zeus continued, "Good. Now, Artemis shall be your tutor for Hunting, as per her own domain. Desire shall be taught by Aphrodite. As for your other domains, ask Athena for help if you require it." Finishing, Zeus flashed out. As did Ares and Athena, but the others stayed behind to congratulate Percy.

I approached him to discuss his timetable, and I saw Hermes and Apollo conversing with him. I scowled, 'This can't be good.'

Suddenly, Hermes laughed and said, "At least we have a better chance of getting laid now, we have the God of Desire on our side."

So I'm back :P Sorry I haven't updated in a while, what makes it worse is that I don't really have an excuse for it. Just a lack of motivation. I'm back now though, and will be updating by the same schedule.

Signing off, PheonixArising.
