A/N; Okay, I would like to thank all who favorited and followed. A couple of parts in the last chapter where I froze going 'Are they even going to like this?' but YEAHH Anyway off to the story.
Pyrros' POV.
I groaned and plopped down on my bed. We have been in the hunt for four days. Long agonizing horrible days might I add. Athena and I grew closer, I may as well admit it to myself that I am in love with her.
Speaking of Athena, we have had a run in with a gang of boys. They seem to never understand if I beat the crap out of you it means don't come back. Apparently they were from Orion's group of hunters that have reformed.
They are good Archers but if you close the distance they can't fight in close combat to save there lives. I took off my shirt and went over to the punching bag in the corner.
Grabbing the wool cloth that was stained with blood i wrapped my hands. Now before you say 'you take this too serious dude.' The blood isn't mine; those intruders... yeah if you think it's there's you're correct.
I started the stereo, my ipod was hooked up to it. Cryin' like a Bitch came on by godsmack. Oh and we found the tracks of the Yak. We have run into it a couple of times just for it to run off. I proceeded to punch the face of Gaia.
Now before you ask I had it especially sewn up while I was waiting on the Argo to get finished. After the song was over I felt a ripple down my back. Meaning someone entered camp. The song just changed to one of my favorites. Happy? by Mudvayne, I stuck on repeat.
I grabbed it and plugged in my headphones and stuffed it in my pocket. I put them in my ears and opened up my door. Sneaking out real loudly like and hiding in the shadows. I looked at them, somethings off... there's four of them now. There near Artemis' tent they have almost never went near there.
I went up to them, there on the defensive. Stepping out of the shadows I let flames burst to life around me. "You know you think with how many times I've beaten the crap out of you, That you would have the sense to STAY AWAY. But guess not. I have given you three chances. This time I will be forced to kill you. "
I took a good look at the newest member. He had green eyes and brown hair, a goatee. He looks goofy as hell too. The three came forward, as he walked towards Artemis' tent. I tried to get to him but the three just pulled me back. I roundhouse kick the one holding my right arm, only to have the third to take his place.
dammit! I need Percy, but how the hell am I going to wake him up! I dodged a punch thrown at me by retard lefty. The guy was already opening Artemis' door. Come on Percy get the damned sight swap! Oh shit why me... it worked but I wound up seeing his dream. It was him sitting the boulder at the shoreline at camp half blood.
Artemis was next to him with her head on his shoulder. "I'll allow her along, Ofcourse! But I can't make her immortal until she's ten." 'Wake the fuck up! No smoochin and this is happening fool!' I shook my head, what the hell Percy...
I looked over at his tent, Percy charged full head out of his door breaking it. Good, now I can deal with these guys. One grabbed my headphones and yanked them out. OH HELL NO! I spun a full three-sixty. effectively making all the idiots stumble. I shook the guy off my right while porting behind him.
I deadlegged him while grabbing both his arms. Kicking him in the back while pulling upward knocked him arms out of socket. The painful way mind you, I lit the hunters campfire making it grow into a bonfire. I threw him by his arms into it, having the coals hold him down. His screams filled the camp, good thing the hunters tents are sound proof.
While turning back to the other boys I noticed Percy beating the crap out of the guy that went into Artemis' tent. The other boys were frozen there watching their friend being roasted alive. With my shadow casted over them I locked them with it. I said "Boo" softly.
I went up to the guy that I kicked, Dragging him behind me. I let a maniacal laugh escape my mouth just to scare the shitless. I threw him into the fire locking him down with coals. He started to scream with his friend. Too bad this effectively woke up Artemis and alerted the hunters. They came out of there tents while I grabbed the other and proceeded to hit him on the head while dragging him to the fire.
As he screamed the hunters winced. "Percy chill let Artemis see the idiot that tried to break into her tent." He dropped down low and kicked him behind both knees. Grabbing and dragging him by the neck, he threw him in front of Artemis. Her and Phoebe gasped, "Orion..." Phoebe said aloud. I laughed a good crazy laugh. "Can I burn him too?"
The retard as I call him, decided to speak up. "Ah, sweet Artemis. I see your oath is already broken. And just you wait brother. When father finds out he wont be happy.." Percy strolled up and punched him in the face. "Shut up, If you think I have had some relations with Artemis you're out of your mind. Jayci if you don't mind teleport me to my father palace. His bedroom to be exact."
She waved her hand in a fanning motion towards him and he vanished. "Sorry ladys, you may go back to bed. This has actually the third time they broke in, thus why roasted them alive." They nodded and started walking back to there tents.
"Pyrros, why didn't you inform me of this?" Artemis... crap I'm screwed, where's Percy when I need him. "Ohm, Well I gave them quite a beating the first time. They ran off limping both times, that's how I got that jacket with geyser emblem. I didn't really know who they were, Didn't ask either. Could have cared less to be honest milady." She nodded her approval, so I turned to Percy's tent.
"Pyrros," I turned around, "Good work, but next time just tell me. Orion being reformed is troublesome. But enough of that, What are you still doing up?" I sighed and raised my fists. "I like boxing, my tent is sound proofed to where no one can hear whats going on inside. Now before you get the wrong idea it's because I turn my stereo up, I didn't want to disturb anyone while I did this so I had my dad enchant it."
She nodded and I proceeded to Percy's tent. Now I gotta clean this mess up, I groaned corpse's to bury and trash to pick up. A door to fix. Why can't he be normal and use a doorknob, instead of going all macho. Lilia met me halfway, "Brother can you fix the door?" I smiled at her hair and nodded.
She considers me as a brother now, dad didn't bless her but Ressilla did. Now if you're wondering, yes she is staying with Percy because she is his responsibility. Lilia walked back to the cabin. While there I picked up the chunks from the wooden door.
I stopped outside the tent as Lilia continued in. While touching the ground I made anew door. Instead of it saying just Percy, it now said Percy & Lilia. I didn't feel like getting a screwdriver so I just melded the door to the hinges. Yes I am lazy, get over it.
After grabbing the last chunks of the door, I piled them up outside to the right. "Night Lilia." I chuckled at her, she was already asleep. closing the door I looked I turned to the stack of wood, I happened to catch a glimpse of Athena's tent. Her door was wide open, I know she was safe because I saw her before Lilia grabbed my attention.
Picking up the wood, I headed towards the pit. When I got there the bodies were gone. I smiled knowing my sister did it. 'Thanks Ress, you're awesome.' Spinning in a circle looking around for signs of Athena, that is strange for her to just vanish. Oh I bet you're wondering what the setup of camp is.
Well it's a crescent shape. The tents for the hunters are at least. In front of them is Percy & Lilia's, Artemis', and Athena's tents. There in the formation of a triangle, Artemis' being the tip the other two being the corner. Mines pretty far from camp. Just if someone was stupid enough to break into camp I am close to the border to stop them. The fire pit is in between the hunters tents and the three.
I decided to check out Athena's tent just to be safe... When I got there I was greeted by a beautiful sight. Athena had her blonde hair in a ponytail, face planted on the pillow. I shivered, why the hell is it so cold in here. Walking over to her I noticed the was shivering. Why does she even have it this cold in here it's like fifty-six degrees Fahrenheit in here!
That's when I saw her blankets, it consisted of a comforter, two quilts and a some kind of fuzzy queen sized blanket. I shook my head at her, forever odd I guess. Walking over to the edge of her bed I grabbed them off the floor and placed them back over her.
When I was done and looked up I saw the armor and spear I gave her. All on racks, I also saw her shield. I walked over to it, and touched it. It grew out about four inches, along with becoming black. The gorgon head was grey with dark flaming red eyes. I flinched looking at it. If it does this to me, I can't wait to see the monsters.
Hearing a giggle I whipped around, Aphrodite was standing there with a smirk on her face. Shoulder propped against the door frame. Deciding that I should probably get out of here, I grabbed Aphrodite and drug her out. I silently closed her door. Aphrodite grabbed my shoulder and ported us to my tent.
"So start talking before you blow up, I swear on the Styx not to tell anyone." I looked at her weirdly. "Actually I already know what's up with you. Yes she loves you, no none of this is my doing. Just remember this, I don't make love I can just speed up the process. Now you two won't admit it because of Zeus." My jaw dropped, as I sat there gaping like a fish.
"Well, I know this already. But it's nice to know she loves me aswell. I guess I'm just screwed, but making her happy is good enough for me." She smiled at me, "Atta boy! But don't worry some intense changes are about start. I can feel it, it has something to do with your father. Good or bad I don't know." With that she vanished, leaving my tent smelling like perfume.
Sighing I pulled out my Ipod and put it on the dock to charge. I went to what I was doing before the intrusion, beating the crap out of the punching bag. I decided that this wasn't hard enough, I unzipped the top of it. Inside was sand from the beach at camp. I touched it and changed it to pebels varying from the size of a dime to a quarter.
Zipping it back up, I looked at it. It doesn't look all that harder. Punching it as hard as I could, My forearm rang in defiance. "Oh yeah!" I laughed and continued my onslaught of punches and kicks to it. After about twenty minutes I turned my Ipod back on. I hunted for a specific song, Execute the sounds by POD. I lost track of time until someone came into my room.
It was Athena. "A-Athena! What brings you to my tent?" I then just noticed what was behind her back. "I..." she stopped and looked around. Her face contorted into a frown. I sighed and clapped my hands.
The bed moved to the left corner, two feet to the right from that was a four-foot long counter top stopping at the wall. It had a sink built-in and cabinets above, built into the counter was electric heating pates for cooking. The right corner where we stood was of course the punching bag two feet up from that was a dresser. The opposite corner housed a heating and a/c unit.
She smirked at me before walking over to my bed and plopping down on it. I walked to the blank space between the wall and the counter. This place will be packed with stuff but it will be home. I pulled on the wall wood sprung to life. Pulling again except under the wooden surface, emerged a metal support pole. Making four chairs and placing two on each side. effectively making a table, walking over to the bed I sat down at the headboard. Putting my hand on the floor I made a mini fridge and mini freezer. Filling the gap between the bed and the counter, I would just use the fridge by the bed as a night stand.
"Schooch please!" She crawled over to the left side of my bed. I turned and looked at her. "So I am asleep freezing cold, the next thing I know is I am warm. I wake up and I see nothing out of the ordinary. Except that something was nagging me. I looked closer at everything and I saw this." She motioned to her shield.
"Listen Athena I'm sorry... I didn't" she got up and faster than I could register she was straddling me. "Pyrros, please shut up." She said smirking. She leaned down, planting a soft kiss on my lips. A spark was sent through my body, like my mind was getting zapped and I was dreaming. As my heartbeat sped up I put my arms around her neck pulling her closer. I didn't need to have my eyes open to know that our auras were going crazy. One of my hands went for the ponytail her hair was in.
Pulling out the scrunchie I tossed it over to what would now forever be called 'Her side of the bed'. Her hands wandered around my upper body. She stopped wandering and pulled out of the kiss burying her face in the crook of my neck. "That was..." her muffled voiced started. "indescribable." I felt her nod in agreement.
"Pyr why in Apollo's name is this song still playing?" I laughed at her use of Apollo's name. Seeing as he is the god of music it seems fitting. "Well I like the song... plus the ihome stereo isn't anywhere to be seen." Groaning she pressed her face deeper into my neck. Sighing I clapped and the music stopped, mainly because it was moved to the bed where no power outlet was at. I tossed it on the floor. "Happy?" I believe that mumble was a 'Thank you' or 'Spank you' though I'm going with the first. I felt the time was two am.
After a few minutes of comfortable silence, I decided to ask something that was on my mind. "Athena, what are we going to do?" She rolled off me landed on her side of the bed. "I don't know..." she bit her lip. "How about we keep it a secret until I get on fathers good side. Or when he's super happy tell him. It will counter his rage, father won't care if he finds out; son of Chaos or not." I nodded to her, I could deal with late night secret dates for now. "My parents won't care. Their more open-minded than Zeus." She laughed at my words. "Isn't that the truth. Aunt Hestia is the best goddess on the council as far as I am concerned."
I couldn't help the smile that formed on my face. She grabbed her shield and ported it to her tent. Picking up her scrunchie and slipping it on her wrist she laid back down on the bed staring at the ceiling. I snapped my fingers and it showed a view port of the milky way, with red lightning and static flashing every few seconds. It looked like the one at my dads place.
"It's beautiful ... did your father teach you how to do view ports?" I shook my head no. "Actually as crazy as it seems Jayci did. Were actually really close even though it may not seem like it. We just argue for entertainment... And to annoy the hell out of dad." She giggled at that; I returned it with a smile. "Ressilla; whats your bond with her?" I gave a small smile. "The lady that raised me... that was her. She gave twelve years of her life just to raise me because she knew I wouldn't be safe. No offense to you guys she just didn't trust you." She pouted at that. "Me and her are the distanced type, we just have this unspoken closeness. Were there for each other no matter what." I was interrupted by a very loud growling. I looked over at Athena to see her blushing.
"See what happens when you're too busy thinking to eat?" She smiled sheepishly, while nodding. "Can you summon me something please?" She asked stretching out please. I shook my head at her with a smile on my face. "Pizza, what toppings?" She thought for a second. "Pepperoni, Canadian bacon, and black olives. And extra garlic with the crust please." I stood there with wide eyes. I held my hand out and thought for a second and poof it appeared.
"Wow, I didn't know you like garlic." She looked at me with a gleeful kissing me on the cheek she grabbed a slice. Setting it down on the the bed I grabbed one as well. "Hey back when Aphrodite said too late on making us a couple, why did you faint?" I laughed at that... "It's quite obvious isn't it? I think I have always liked you since I saw you when I was twelve. Just something about your aura attracted me." She was blushing deep red.
"I could say the same for you. The moment I saw it when you were at the Hoover dam, Just something about it is... enchanting." She said with a dreamy smile which got the blood to my cheeks. Stuffing the last chunk of crust in my mouth and looking back at the pizza. Surprisingly Athena has already eaten two other slices. "Glad to know you like it." I smiled at her.
I grabbed the last four slices, summoning a container to put it in I got up and tossed it in the fridge. Plopping down on the bed she asked "Are you calling me fat mister?" Oh crap now look what you've done. "What? No, you're gorgeous Athena. Don't ever think otherwise." She flashed me a beautiful smile, which effectively got my heartbeat running. That was until, "I was just kidding Pyrros." I smacked my head on my pillow repeatedly which got her stuck into a fit of laughter.
"I think you go back to bed. It's getting late" I suddenly got an evil nickname for her. "Hooter." Her mouth fell open as she began to glare at me as I busted up laughing at her face. "Fine then spyro the not so straight dragon." Is she seriously saying I'm gay? It was her turn to laugh at me. I already knew I had a stupid look. "Seriously, did you say that?" She flashed an evil smile. "So you're going to be up before all the hunters right?"
"Well yeah. I have to make breakfast. Or summon it. Though I'll probably summon it so I can sleep in a little later after this spectical." I pointed between her and I. "Then why can't I spend the night here? And you can wake me up before everyone else gets up." She gave a sweet smile with pleading eyes, I just couldn't say no.
"Fine, but I am sleeping on the floor just in case someone walks in." She gave a smile as I grabbed my pillow. As I was situating myself on the floor her head appeared over the side of the bed with a big grin on her face.
"Pyr." I gurgled which hearing a giggle in response, I passed back out, that is until I heard my door open I shot up. "Daahahagf." I looked over at the door way that was Percy, even though it's like 5AM. "Ugh it's like five in the freaking morning!" I threw my pillow at him. "Dude Athena is mis-" he looked at my bed and his eyes went wide. I got up and looked at Athena, her hair was sprawled out over the bed. She was sleeping in the middle, "Is there anything I need to know about?" He looked at me with his eyebrows raised pointing to the upper corner of her side of the bed. I looked and saw the black shirt she was wearing last night wadded up. Just my freaking luck.
"Nothing happened. If so I would be in bed with her. As you can clearly see Mr. Pervert. I was on the floor." Upon hearing a giggle I looked over to Athena. She was stretching and yawning once she was done she rubbed her eyes and turned to Percy. "If you don't mind I would like to go back to sleep." I laughed at her, "Athena it's five in the morning."
"So Percy wha-" I stopped when I realised he disappeared. Turning back to Athena who was now out of bed, In nothing but a bra and her sweat pants. She was wearing a sports bra which made her breasts look smaller than they probably were. I continued admiring her body till I was cut short by her. "See something you like?" I laughed at her, but I still couldn't get the blush off my face. "Why yes I do, I see a beautiful goddess who I have the please of calling my girlfriend." I saw her face become a deep shade of pink. "I'm going to steal one of your shirt's if the hunters ask you accidentally set me on fire when I came to wake you up." I fell face first onto the floor tripping in my standing position somehow. "It seems your mother knows I was here." She pointed to a fifth smaller drawer on my dresser.
I smiled, my mom is the best, In fact I remember when I told her shes the best mother any demigod could have. Which is true, she broke Zeus' laws countless times just to visit me. He was enraged but knew there was nothing he could do about it. "So now you don't have to wear one of my shirts." She looked over at me with a look that said yeah right! I groaned, great the hunter's don't like me, they just merely respect and tolerate me. This will give them good reason to make my life miserable for a couple of days.
She slipped on my shirt that said, 'Playing with fire is bad for those who burn themselves. For the rest of us, it is a very great pleasure.' I had it specially made when I ordered my mom's. The bottom of it had purple flames rising, the shirt was white with the letters in red. On Athena you could tell the shirt was too large for her. But she didn't seem to care, she just simply tied most of the excess cloth in a knot in her hip area.
"If you don't mind I am going to change." I told her she nodded and plopped down face first onto the bed. After I was done, at least with my lower half I told her it was safe. I threw on a simple white muscle shirt. I noticed three small chests on my table. About the size of a shoe box. Each with, Thaila, Percy, and my names on them. They must be a gift from father. I'll gather them to open their gift later.
As me and Athena were walking we talked about random stuff. One being the Yak. She said it was growing faster than it's supposed to. As she was telling me her plans to take it down, I just changed her plan a bit where me and Percy restrain it to the ground by 3 inch chains meaning heavy crap and nearly unbreakable by it. Then she insisted since were up so early that I actually put labor into making breakfast. As we reached the tent that houses the kitchen, she explained to me that last night while I was asleep that she gave the bit of her strength since deity's recover their energy faster than normal.
Now that's where we are at right now. "Pyrros!" I saw my mom in the kitchen sitting on the counter. I was soon engulfed by a hug. "Hi mom, what's up?" She was in her older form, but I was still fairly taller than her. "Oh nothing just this, and that I suppose. I believer you have some explaining to do mister." At this time I blushed. Then I looked closer at my mother, something was different. "Well I am kind of.. oh my gods how do I say this?" My mother busted up laughing.
"Oh don't worry about it son. I approve, I can't see a more fitting match for you." I smiled looked at her, then it hit me. She's so much stronger. "Mom..." I couldn't help but let my jaw drop. "What's wrong dear?" I studied her more closely, then I saw where it was all coming from. Her ring finger now actually had a ring on it. It was pure red metal, with etchings of flames and two glowing clusters, one red the other white. "No way! Congrats mom, when is the wed-" She smacked her hand over my mouth.
Athena being the smarter one closed the door. "Sorry, So the cave man finally came out from the cave huh?" Athena giggled as my mom laughed and nodded. "To answer your question the wedding is in a month. We have been up planning for the past two days. And after this hunt, I suppose you got the gifts correct?" I nodded, "Well your father has a quest for Thaila, Percy, and you. No prophecy of course because it's tied to your father. But you will find detailed instructions in Percy's chest, He is to be the one to lead it." I nodded, yay! A quest so much fun, tis true my fathers are the most dangerous.
"So Hestia, you and Chaos on his planet for two days. Do I need to wonder if there is going to be another little kid around?" I went wide eyed at the thought. "No, but what about you and Pyrros, should I be expecting a grandchild?" I summoned a cookie sheet and smacked my head with it repeatedly until Athena grabbed my arm to stop me. My mother was holding her stomach laughing. "Anyways I must be off, me and Chaos are far from done. Plus I kind of like my throne there." I saw my mother with genuine happiness in her eyes. I have only seen her like this very few times and and only around select people. She disappeared by drawing the shadows inward.
"I'm happy for her, It's about time the old man finally proposed." Athena smiled at me, "Let's get cooking, we have a lot of cooking to do. Were going to do this all out, since it's a special occasion." I groaned, great now an even bigger mess to clean up afterwards.
The kitchen was a mess, a neat and orderly mess. But a mess nonetheless. Athena snapped her fingers and the dishes was done. I left the kitchen with the last two patters of food. There was pancakes, waffles,eggs, huge stacks of perfectly cooked bacon and sausage. Along with a large bowl of strawberries, three liter pitchers of milk and orange juice. The table already had a crowd the hunters around it. Artemis and Percy came from the Archery range, Jayci was coming from her tent as well Athena appeared made her presence known to the group. "Wow, Pyr whats the occasion bro?" I smiled at him, silently telling him I will inform him soon.
They all started to sit down, Athena sat by me which raised some eyebrows. "Milady?" She looked up at me, "Yes Pyrros, What is it?" I let out a sigh. "After this hunt, my father has a quest for Thaila, Percy and I. We have gifts that we need to open after breakfast. But also I need to talk to you, our little party, Jayci, and Athena in private." Phoebe growled, "Why? Are you trying to hide something!?" I knew she was going to say something. "Not at all, It's just about the quest. And some huge things behind it that's for their ears only." She was about to object, but a flash cut her off.
"My apologies Artemis. But I must interrupt you hunt. I need to see my niece." Poseidon said with a big smile, looking at Thaila. She walked over to him, "Chaos told me to bless you for the quest he is sending you on." He touched Thaila's head and a sea green glow engulfed her. One it was over Poseidon gave her a run down. "You can now breathe underwater, talk to horses, and the water will now heal you." He said before disappearing into the wind as mist. "Alright then, Pyyros. After breakfast you will open whatever it is you got, then we will continue to follow the Yak until it is taken down. Sister I suppose you have a plan."
Athena shook her head No. "It's not just my plan sister it is Pyr's too. We put our head together seeing as both our attempts failed. Anyway our plan was made this morning as we were cooking." Lilia giggled, "Brother! Don't say that!" I looked over at her, Percy had a innocent smile on his face. While Lilia look completely content stuffing her face so she doesn't have to answer the series of 'Whats'.
"Anyway, we decided that when we come upon it this time we will try the chaining tactic." Hailey snorted, "Yeah that didn't work last time. That thing probably two times the size of tank now. Hang it up, it'll break those chains faster then last time." I laughed at her, "Oh not just any normal chains! Three inch thick chains used in the navy for their ships. This thing won't be going no where!"
"So the hunters will surround it giving it enough space so it won't run off. While we are waiting, Percy, Pyr, And Jayci will hide in its shadow. While they are doing that, they will summon the chains and bring it to the ground then the hunters will go in for the kill." Athena let out a sigh, I continued for her. "And If the first set fails we triple the size of the chains." Artemis nodded in agreement, "I like the plan. So lets dig in and continue afterwards our hunting after we're done."
The hunters soon began laughing at something Mia told them. Phoebe and Hailey were whispering to eachother, Jayci decided to take a seat beside me. "So little brother finally found a girlfriend?" She said in a low voice. No one but Athena and I heard what she said, as I was choking on my food she busted up laughing. She vanished before I could retort with something.
Breakfast went by pretty quick. Me and Athena talking about the quest we got, she kept pressing for information that was nonexistant. "Percy! Thaila!" Calling them over while I grabbed the chests from my tent. The hunters gathered around us as we walked to the small open area where the dining table was at. We sat our chests down, Percy and I already know how to open them, being down this rout several times before. "Just touch your name on the chest and it will open thals." I couldn't help but grin at her awe stricken face as the chest grew larger and grew a handle to open it. I opened mine up.
"Oh shit yeah!" Hey I couldn't help it. "Pyyros! Language please we still have children here." I ignored Athena's nagging and picked up the armor that was in the chest. What the... it's missing pieces. There was black metal plates that looked like they have seen action before. Looking inside again I saw it was a complete set. Legguards and boots included, I squealed in delight which got me odd looks from everyone around me. I saw my belt in there too but it had some modifications to it, the front had a large pouch that could possibly hold things, on the side where hooks. It was also made of same metal as the armor.
I erupted a shadow around myself to change, The legs where mostly a mix of plating and chain mail. Thick plating drops down from the chest piece to cover my thighs, at least 45% of it. As I was changing I realised the the armor wasn't exactly the most maneuverable, though that didn't really matter because I am normally on the front lines.
After letting the shadows down I looked over at Percy, his armor was silver with gold trimming all over the set. On the side of his thighs and the center of his breastplate where the heart would be, there was a light green gem. Looking over at Thaila you could clearly tell her armor was for speed. Made mostly of leather and thin chain mail, her breastplate looked more like leather and some kind of thin plating.
She also though had a bow, It was blue with plating. There was a open circle with two glowing orbs, at the tips there were heads of a snake. The pulled back on the bowstring, An arc of lightning appeared. In her shock she released it. It veered off course and hit tree blowing it to pieces, the glow disappeared for one of the orbs. "Hey Thals you can only use it twice before you risk breaking it."
After a few minutes of us inspecting ourselves and Thaila getting mobbed by the hunters, I rested the urge to light myself on fire. Everyone turned to me with wide eyes. I looked at my armor; seeping from the spots where metal was at was lava it eventually enclosed all the empty spots in the armor. I got a huge smile on my face, after the fire died the lava stayed in place. I put on my belt which matched the armor perfectly.
"Wow, You look completely bad ass…" I smirked at Thaila, Which effecting earned me a high voltaged zap. "Gah!" The spark just bounced off my armor but I was pushed back force. I hooked my axes to the chains from my belt and attached them on the hooks. "Perseus, find Nereus and ask about Pontus' cave. Once you get your information of where it is at, go to it. The rest will be explained when you get there." I looked at my brother he was reading his note out loud. "P.S. Hestia made your armor." Looks like my mom enjoys her new powers. I looked around, Athena and Artemis were coming out of Athena's tent. She was still wearing my shirt, although she was sticking on the last of her armor. Her tent vanished, I guess she's leaving.
Her shield was strapped to her back and her spear in her hand. Thaila gawked at her new sheild, she looked at me. "Pyrros you like to spoil my sister don't you?" The heat was rising to my face which got the hunters and Thaila laughing. Percy smirked at me, "Is there something wrong if he does? I think it's sweet." She said kissing my cheek which got me to blush even deeper. Artemis gave me a look said I am screwed.
"Alright let's go and have this conversation before I choke on something." Percy laughed, "Oh come on Artemis lighten up, it's all fun in games till someone throws a tantrum. Right now that'll be you." Percy yelped and ran to the left then came to a halt jumping back avoiding the arrow she shot at him. The older hunters were rolling around laughing.
I grabbed Athena and shadow traveled behind Artemis' tent. "She knows doesn't she?" I couldn't help but mumble, you would to! Artemis is scarier than... she's so scary you can't compare her to anything! "Ofcourse she knows, she told me about her feelings for Orion. We tell eachother everything. We're sisters you know, besides she promised not to hurt you." She gave me a sheepish smile. "As long as you don't hurt me." And here comes the laughter. I started directing her to the front of the tent with her laughter still going. The three looked at us weirdly, I pointed at Athena and shrugged.
Artemis showed us into her tent. "So what is this super important thing that is you needed to discuss?" I closed her door, Percy motioned his fingers like something you would see a wizard do. Artemis giggles? Huh I didn't know that. "Percy read that letter you doofus." He flipped open the piece of paper while sticking his tounge out at me. He repeated it, suddenly Artemis had a worried look on her face.
"If even one primordial rises this soon..." Artemis drabbled off, I shot my hand up and waved it. Athena rolled her eyes and slapped me on the back of the head. "Ow! Anyway were not going there because he's rising. My father is reinstating the council of primals. When it broke apart because of Gaia and Erebus my father had to take up their domains. Soon one by one the primals faded, he had to take over their domains. That is why he can't come to earth without it imploding, he's holding too much power. Your all getting primal domains of your currents plus a major. Artemis, you're getting Nyx's domains." After she was over her shock, she had a huge smile on her face.
"Your brother is getting day of course, Zeus, Hades darkness, and Poseidon are getting their current ones for primal. My mother is going to be given light. Only the important ones will be handed out, Hephaestus will have time, Demeter will have earth. Athena..." her eyes lit up when I said her name, a smile came to my face. "You will get inevitability, destiny, necessity and fate. I don't know when it will happen but I know it's probably soon." She looked shocked, I poked her nose and the next thing I knew my lips were smashed against hers. Thaila gasped, Artemis smacked her head against her forehead, I heard Percy laughing. I smiled into the kiss, she pulled away with a smile.
"I love you." Those three whispered words sent shivers down my spine and made me smiled like an idiot. "I think I am dreaming. Thaila zap me!" Athena laughed at my stupidity, Thaila sent an arc of lightning towards me. Slamming against the wall I realised I was not dreaming. "Know this Pyrros, you hurt my sister and I will castrate you." I gulped, man that angry gaze was worse than when my mom is mad.
"So when did you two become... this?" Thaila asked with sparks still zapping me. "Uh like..." I had to count. "Three hours and fifty-five minutes ago." I looked over at Athena, "Dammit! I wanted to answer that!" She looked at me and I completely melted. "Brother, you're an idiot." Jayci oh so sweet Jayci. Gtfo, got it? Her face formed into one of, 'Ye better start runnin' fer yer life buddy!' She summoned a plastic baseball bat. Don't laugh cause it's serious. It's made entirely of plastic, not some hollow piece of crap.
She raised it while I gulped, my ADHD going nuts. "Hey you two not in my tent, the last time I had to clean up blood it took months." I sighed, happy I am safe, thank you Artemis. She gave a evil smile and I knew I was dead. Walking over she grabbed me and threw me out of the tent, at this point Jayci started chasing me yelling profanities. That is until a transparent hand whacked us both on the back of the head.
I groaned, that old man is evi- OW! All right Sheesh dad, that crap hurts. "Jayci next time how about we go torture dad instead of ourselves." She got a huge smile on her face. She summoned a life-like dummy of me. Taking her baseball bat she knocked it's head off, literally which got the hunters mumbling because they thought it was actually me. Something about milady won't be happy about this, oh so they don't really care. Good because if they did, I would freak the hell out.
The group that got left behind showed up, "Nooo Pyyros don't die I can fix it!" Percy ran over to my head and kicked it, what an ass! "Ey! Ass I'm right here you know!" He busted up laughing, "I know, that's why I kicked it." While I was pouting, Artemis explained what was going to happen to the hunters. When she was done I went to pack the kitchen, Armory, and Med tents while Percy packed his and Artemis' tent. When I was done, he came up to me handing me my tent.
"Thanks where's Athena?" He made kissing sounds, I held back the urge to smack him. "Don't know probably with Artemis and Jayci." I shrugged, I just wanted to know if she was going to join us. "Oh man, I haven't told you yet. My parents are getting engaged." His eyes literally bugged out, "You know, I was wondering how Hestia made our armor. Wellp that explains a lot." I smacked my forehead repeatedly.
"Brother!" Percy turned around immediately. You see, Lilia was going to take the oath. Which made Percy really happy, but then decided to wait until she was older. Artemis thought highly of her, the hunters couldn't train her because she can use a bow just as good as them. Her only problems are distractions, she gets distracted easily. Which Artemis is working on personally.
I have to say, I think it's funny to watch Percy and Artemis teach her. Especially at the same time, it's like their raising a child together. They bicker like crazy, which I believe is what is actually helping Lilia because she has to ignore them. I've seen Percy and Artemis shouting names at each other and get face to face where it looks like they are going to kiss or something.
I looked around, the camp was gone... "What the.. aw man they freaking took off already!" Percy motioned to the forest edge where the girls went off into, you could see the last of the hunters moving in. I quickly morphed taking off in a minute flat I was already striding ahead of them, Lilia was giggling because Percy was running around dodging trees.
After a couple of hours of running around, we came to an empty opening, I can't stand the stench of this thing. If you have smelt rotting garbage, it smells like that. Athena strolled up, "Looks like it left." She patted me on the head. 'Athena don't make me bite you!' A smile crept to her face as she leaned down towards me, "I can't help that you're so cute as a wolf." She grabbed my cheeks and pulled them. I saw Percy and the Hunters watching in complete delight, Jayci oh man she looked mad. Not at Athena just mad about something, what it was I have no clue.
Feeling something in the air, I knocked Athena over and morphed back. Two arrows bounced off my armor, "Ambush!" The hunters quickly backed into the trees, this isn't the first time we have been ambushed. It's when we came up with the thoughts of Percy and I to hold them back while the hunters pick them off.
Athena snapped her fingers; her armor appeared on her with her shield and spear in hand. I pulled off Exaleiphó and Olethros the Greek word for Obliteration and Bane. We waited for the monsters to show up, Percy with his swords in his signature twister stance. Me and Athena were side by side. We silently waited, until shaking started happening not real heavy, but you could tell it was distanced.
About eight hell hounds, ten laistrygonian's, and two earth-born. Eh ain't much, I could hear the hunters laughing. Soon a wall of darkness erupted and monsters of all types started flowing out, I hear deep bellowing laughter. I noticed this dark wall wasn't like my fathers. There seemed to be a gray hue as if it ends. My fathers is pure black... like endless space.
"Woohoo!" What? I couldn't help it... Meanwhile Athena was looking at me like I was bonkers. Jayci who was by Percy shimmered, the ground around her seemed to evaporate, the black gate disappeared. The ground around Jayci came back and she looked normal. There were at least three hundred monsters now. Joy it must be Christmas!
Me and Athena went into overload, working together she tossed her spear cutting through twenty monsters easily. Stopping my left hand from finishing my swing I tossed Olethros behind her spear. The chain swirled around it, yanking it back towards her it untwisted itself. I spun Olethros in a circle digging into the ground, the trench filled with fire as I started to make the fire spike out and hit monsters.
The hunters now decided to help, they fired arrows relentlessly. I kind of felt bad for the poor things. My grip on the fire dwindled I saw it was Percy creating a storm, as on cue it started to rain. Deciding to keep myself dry I summoned fire around me, not on my body just like a bubble of flames. I threw Exaleiphó, while hacking a jaw of a hell-hound off that jumped at me with Olethros. Soon I saw an icy hurricane on its side doing the worm in the now dwindled group of monsters. Now all that's left is about fifty monsters.
That's when it all went to hell. The Yak now about the size of a eight-teen wheeler comes steaming through trampling over the monsters. "Guys! Ten inch chains!" I stomped my foot and four rows of huge chains strapped over it yanking it to the ground. Or trying to at least, I stomped my foot another time and two chains clamped to its giant horns protruding from the head. Suddenly one of my chains broke, WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING?! I called in the flames to give me more energy, I was about to stomp again when suddenly sixteen more sets of chains came from the ground and yanked it down.
Now me still being me left my foot in the air and fell face first, or would have if Athena didn't grab my armor. I heard her gasp as she pulled me up straight, she shook her hand around like a mad person. Grabbing her hand I looked at it, she burned her whole hand from the heat of the Armor. I blew on it, I didn't have to look at her to know she was looking at me like an idiot. Gold flames sparked to life in the air I blew on it, the flames struck her hand and seeped into the wound as it slowly healed.
I looked at the Yak who now had about eighty arrows to the head and still wasn't dead. I walked over to it, "Milady do you need the head?" She shook her head no. I grabbed Olethros, throwing it over the head I held out my hand bringing the axe to my left hand. The chain was now around the neck, setting it aflame I called Percy over. "Use your earth shaker powers and pull." Percy and I yanked as the chains where slowly severing it's head. Artemis came over and used her godly strength to finish it.
Everything started to disappear, Only the pelt and the horns were left. Except they were only about two thirds of the actual size. Still fairly large though, and Artemis has her new carpet. "Alright we will set up camp here and the three will leave in the morning after breakfast." I nodded to her and looked at Athena, 'I have to go back to Olympus now. I will see you tonight.' Winking at me she flashed off to Olympus. I trudged on to set up the tents for tonight.
