The Night's Son Chapter 4
A/N: thanks for all the hits guys and the reviews :) didn't really think this story would be that good, but I was wrong it already has close to more than my other stories reviews.
I will be aiming to make this a 14-17 chapter story. Hope I can do it.
Percy woke up early that day, for two reasons, one, he couldn't sleep and two he didn't want to anger Artemis and the Hunters.
Sighing, Percy got dressed and walked out of his room, and walked to where Artemis should be, she told him to wait next to the gates so they would go together. Percy walked up towards the gates to see a few girls dressed in black and silver. They all stared at him angrily except for a girl with black hair and electric blue eyes. The girl walked up to Percy.
"I'm Thaila," the girl said, "Daughter of Zeus. She stuck out her hand, expecting Percy to shake it.
Percy not knowing what to do hesitated, but soon did shake her hand.
"I'm Percy, Son of Nyx."
Thalia's eyes widened, she wasn't expecting a boy like him to be a child of the Primordial, much less one of the strongest ones.
Percy just smiled, he knew he had this kind of reaction on people, his eyes sometimes confused people into thinking he was just a regular mortal, even if they were Sea-green with Black in them.
A voice interrupted them, they both turned around to see Artemis, leaning on a tree and watching them, or rather Percy.
"Are you ready to go Percy?" Artemis asked him, trying to control her voice so it sounded cold and mean, unlike the day before which was caring and joyful.
Percy didn't understand why she was acting like this, but still shook his head. Artemis using her energy, teleported all of them to Earth.
Percy opened his eyes, to see the place he had missed for a long, long time. But this time he was in the middle of nowhere, he turned to his left to see an enormous camp. Camp Half-Blood, As Chaos had called it.
Artemis and the Hunters began walked towards the camp, Percy waking up from being in daze of the camp, soon followed. Artemis, once inside camp told Hunters to set up camp and her cabin, they would be staying here for a few days.
Artemis led Percy to the Big House, ignoring looks she got from random campers, some bowed but some were really confused that she was with a man.
Percy felt uncomfortable under the gaze of tons of campers, people he didn't even know! Artemis led Percy inside the big house. Percy looked up at the sign on the door that said, War Council Room. Artemis knocked and then opened the door. Inside there was three campers and one horse.
Percy couldn't really help but blurt out, "So you're a horse?" His ADHD had kicked in. the horse as Percy called him looked up to see him, he looked at Artemis again before bowing before her, Artemis nodded at him and he stood up once more.
"Young man, I'd have you know that I am not a horse, I am a Centaur." The horse, er Centaur told him.
The Centaur continued, " My name Is Chiron, I am the activities director here at camp." He looked at the three campers who were with him, "Children, mind introducing yourselves?"
A guy with shaggy black hair which fell into his eyes stood up and looked at Percy, "Names, Nico Di Angelo, Son of Hades."
The blond girl next to him stood up with a guy that had goat feet, "My name is Annabeth, Annabeth Chase Daughter of Athena, and this here is Grover Underwood." Annabeth stared at Percy, or more at Percy's eyes. Any girl would've fallen for him once they saw his eyes. Grover muttered a nervous hello.
Artemis, spoke up telling Percy to introduce himself, Percy sighed before looking at all four, "My name is Percy, I'm a Son of Nyx, Primordial Goddess of the Night. I'm blessed by all the Primordials." Annabeth gasped, but Grover and Nico looked confused.
Nico and Grover turned to Annabeth for an explanation, she quickly explained, "Primordials came before the Titans, they are a much older race of Gods, and much stronger too, I read about them during a history report I had to write for Chiron."
Annabeth knew of the War with Tartarus, she and Nico were the only ones who knew of this because their parents had let it slip out of their mouths at one point. Annabeth knew that a Son of a Primordial was supposed to save the Greeks once he turned sixteen. Annabeth guessed it was Percy who was to save them, but she wanted to be sure. It was time to tell Grover of this as well.
"You're the child of the Primordial that's supposed to save us from Tartarus when you come to age sixteen."
Percy wasn't surprised; he knew a daughter of Athena would've known his by now. Chiron however was studying Percy; he didn't look like the type to be able to defeat a God who was more powerful than the Greeks on Olympus. But after a few moments Percy nodded at Annabeth, her suspicions were now confirmed. Only one question lingered on her mind, why was he kept a secret? She had known all along the Gods were keeping something from the Demi-gods she just didn't think it would be someone like him.
"Percy, where have you been living all this time." Chiron asked the question to Percy, the question Annabeth was wondering.
"I was living with my Mother and the other Primordials on a faraway Planet, the Gods of Olympus visited us the other day, and wondered if I wanted to visit their camp. I didn't have any problem with that so I just agreed, Artemis was the one to bring me here."
Chiron nodded, putting a hand on his chin and thinking. Annabeth curious as she is asked, "Are you powerful, I mean you should be powerful enough to be able to beat Tartarus. How old are you anyways."
Percy grimaced, he hated people like Annabeth, always asking him questions. Always meddling with his personal life, who was she anyways? Just a demigod asking Percy about how powerful he was, she had no right to do that.
Though Percy didn't like the way she was acting he still replied, "I'm fourteen, two years will be the time I take on Tartarus, as for your other question, I have powers over the Night and the Water, I've been blessed by all the Primordials which affect my battling skills, so in case you're wondering, I'm pretty powerful, but a few months ago I was granted another power by the Primordials, just like I picked my second power, Water. I was able to pick another, I picked Aether's power of light, I'm able to control both light and night now."
Annabeth couldn't believe it, there she was thinking she was the best demi-god just because nobody could beat her in sword fighting at camp, but Percy was on a whole different level than her.
"Are you able to take on any Gods?" She asked.
Percy sighed, there was way of running away from her, she just asked question after question. "I'm able to take on a few Primordials and still be victorious, and those are the ones that have lost power over time, but if you compare that to the Greeks of Olympus, let's just say I can take on almost all of them at once and still win." Percy grinned as her jaw dropped to the floor. Even Chiron, who was silent, was a little shocked. Grover bleated awkwardly, he was actually a little afraid of Percy right now.
Annabeth wanted to ask some more questions to him, but she looked at Chiron's face who shook his head, signaling her to draw an end to the questions.
Huffing Annabeth sat back down in her seat. She wanted Percy to prove he was that good, as he said he was but kept quiet. Artemis stood up once more, telling Chiron that she was to go somewhere, Chiron nodded and bowed once more. Artemis grabbed Percy's arm as she walked out of the Big house.
"Come on, let me give you a tour of the Camp." She whisked Percy away and towards the Cabins. She showed him all the God's and Goddesses cabins, a lot more campers were starting at them now, but neither cared. Secretly they were enjoying each other's presence.
Artemis guided Percy to the beach, she saw a tall tree and quickly climbed onto it, and Percy attempted to climb it but failed miserably. Artemis for once in her life time actually laughed freely. She had completely closed herself off to everyone over the years, now she thought it was good to be laughing like she used too. Last time she had laughed like this was the time Orion had almost beaten her at Archery, she wondered if Percy was any good at Archery himself.
Artemis leaped down off the tree and landed in front of Percy, "Percy, do you know anything of Archery?" She asked him.
Percy shook his head, he had tried out Archery once, but it had completely gone wrong for him. He ended up getting bruises all over his body and a sprained arm.
"I can't even hit the target, much less the Bulls-eye. " Percy informed her.
Artemis giggled somewhat. Then frowned at herself, she couldn't believe a mere boy was making her feel like this, she couldn't and wouldn't allow herself to fall for him. But she couldn't help it, it was so calm when she was with Percy, she felt as if she was on top of the World, which indirectly she was considering she was the Goddess of the Moon.
Artemis moved on to show Percy the Arena, and then the lava wall, after a few more trips around the Camp. Percy had gotten the feeling that he was going to like being here. Not counting that daughter of Athena, he actually liked this place.
As they both walked toward the exit of the Camp, Artemis reached over and ran a hand through Percy's hair, she wanted to stop but she just didn't want to. Finally with her hand resting on his cheek, she told him to get ready as she was about to send him away back to his planet.
She kissed Percy on the cheek and quickly sent him home, she didn't want him seeing her blushing face, but it wouldn't have mattered anyway Percy was also blushing, a lot more than her.
