Well, here is the fourth chapter. I hope you all enjoy it. Also, if random words are capitalized, I'm sorry; it's a strange habit of mine to randomly capitalize words. Also, I really like using commas, I don't know why, but I do. If it seems excessive, once again, I apologize.

"About a week later as I was cooking myself dinner, I felt another presence appear right next to me. I looked over and saw the sleeping for of Zoë Nightshade."

Zoë POV

"Ah, wait, I mean I saw you sleeping on the ground. Oops, I got a little too into my story and forgot who my audience was…" Percy said. I started cracking up; it was just like Percy to do something like that.

He looked at me funny, but after a little bit joined in with the laughing as well. When we finally calmed down, I turned to him, "So, now that I know your story, do you want to know how Chaos got me to come back down to Earth for another life?"

He looked at me funny and said, "Wait, Chaos just said he would ask you to if you wanted to, he wasn't going to make you. What DID he do?"

"Well, he did give me the choice, but me actually having a brain, I had some questions. Here, listen to my short story." And so I started recounting Chaos' visit and the ensuing week.

"Well, first, when I was made a constellation, my spirit was sent to Ouronus' court. It was an interesting place. All the spirits of the constellations could roam around and mingle for all eternity and we could watch the Earth progress. The only real downside to all this was that since Hercules was a constellation, his spirit roamed around up there as well. I did my best to avoid him, but at first, he didn't avoid me. In fact, when he first saw me he thought I would actually want to talk to him. Stupid male…" I trailed off muttering curses about Hercules and stupid males until I saw Percy's amused grin. I turned away embarrassed and continued my story.

"Well, after I gave him a few choice words and made it clear to him that he would suffer worse than death if he continued following me around, he left me alone. I really wished I could have a physical body so I could shoot arrows at him and stab him and gut him like a fish, but alas, I was just a spirit and could do no such things.

"Although we could watch Earth, we didn't get to pick what we saw. Every night we saw the more important events from the day that had occurred and watched the events if we so chose. Since I didn't really have any friends in the court, that was the majority of the talking that took place and I actually started to learn modern English. Anyways, about four years after I joined the court of Ouronus, I found myself resting in my room thinking about my time spent in the hunt.

"I enjoyed my time in the hunt and I was sad that it had to come to an end, but I was happy knowing that I had served Lady Artemis well for 2000 years and had died protecting her. She had saved my life and I owed it to her to do everything in my power to protect her. I also found myself thinking about one of the stupidest people I had ever come across. He seemed to care nothing for his life and was always doing reckless and dangerous things that would probably end up with him getting killed. I didn't really care, I figured if he brought about his own death it just meant one less male in the world and the world would be better because of it.

"Over time though, I realized it wasn't blatant disregard for his life that made him do the stupid things he did, it was the fact that he put his friends and even people he didn't really know and probably didn't like that much lives above his own. It was weird. My whole life all males had ever done was abuse women and be idiots, yet right as my life was coming to a close, I came across one male who actually deserved a little bit of respect.

"I was thinking about the final battle with my father when I felt a presence appear right next to me. I looked to m y left and saw a being that was emitting a massive amount of power.

"This being must have noticed my bewildered face and spoke to me, 'Do not fear, I am Chaos and I mean no harm. I simply come to you with an offer.'

"The voice felt ancient and powerful but it didn't seem to be threatening so I bowed my head and responded, 'What is the offer you have for me, Lord Chaos?'

"Chaos turned to me and said, 'Ah, please don't refer to me as Lord or Lady, just Chaos is good enough. As for my offer, just as Artemis helped give you a second life after the unfortunate events involving Hercules, I wish to offer you a second life altogether.'

"This surprised me, but I tried not to show it. I responded, 'No thank you. I lived once for over two millennia, for now I am content to live among the stars.'

"'I thought you would say that, but before you decline, you might like to know the circumstances that have led to my offering you another life,' Chaos told me. 'You see, a few years back, I gave some of my power and immortality to a young man and gave him the position of Guardian of Earth. Lately though, he has been lonely. To try to overcome his loneliness, he talks to your constellation every night. He feels like he can relate to you. The Guardians name is Percy Jackson. I am offering you the choice to join him and the two of you would be co-Guardians, of a sort.'

"This surprised me. When he first started talking about me working with a male, I started to tune Chaos out. When Chaos said the male thought he could relate to me, I scoffed and knew for sure I was going to turn down the offer. But when he said it was you, Percy, I hesitated. Something didn't add up. 'Chaos, you said that he thought he could relate to me, but Percy should be happily spending his time with Annabeth. When I knew Percy, it was obvious how much he cared for her. What happened to make him think he could relate to me?' I asked.

"Chaos seemed to consider my question for a little while before responding, 'the details of what happened to young Perseus are his to share with you. I could tell you, but I believe it would be best if you waited to hear it from his mouth. Now, I know you don't really like males after the Hercules debacle, so before you make your decision, you should know more about Percy's life.'

"After he finished that, I felt some of Chaos' energy move towards me. When the energy touched me, I blacked out. While I was unconscious, I dreamt. I was shown your life from the time you found out you were a demigod until the end of the war with Gaea. The dreams lasted for about a week before I finally woke up again. As soon as I was awake, I felt Chaos' presence again. I turned to look at him.

"'Now that you have seen more about Percy and who he is, I must ask you for your answer. Will you work with him to protect Earth? Will you accept a new life?'

"I thought about the offer and the concept of spending eternity with a man. I figured at least with physical bodies if you did anything I didn't like I could gut you myself. 'Chaos, I accept your offer. But if I may make one small request of my own…'

"'I know what you wish to ask. Yes, I will make sure your constellation does not disappear so as not to worry Artemis. Now, get ready to be living again.'

"With those words, Chaos sent a different kind of energy wave into me and I blacked out. This time, I had no dreams. When I came to, I saw you hovering over me and instinctually punched you in the face."

Artemis POV (I wasn't sure if I should do this, but after it was requested, I decided to at least give it a try)

It had been a rather normal day for the hunt and me. I turned a male into a jackalope and allowed my hunters to hunt him down, but other than that, not much had happened. My hunters had just finished setting up camp when a bright flash blinded us all.

I figured a god, probably my obnoxious brother or Hermes, had stopped by to annoy me or deliver a message. What I wasn't expecting was a scared looking ten-year-old girl to be standing right in front of me. She was maybe 4' 10" and had shoulder length black hair. Her electric blue eyes matched my lieutenants almost perfectly. She took a quick look around and promptly fainted. I teleported myself and the young girl to the medical tent and lay her down on a bed.

Several hours later, one of my hunters came up to me and informed me that the girl was waking up. I was extremely curious as to who the girl was and how she just appeared in front of me, so I decided to go find out what she knew. I walked into the medical tent and had the other hunters leave so I was alone with the strange girl.

She rubbed her eyes warily and slowly sat up, taking in her surroundings. "I just had the strangest dream," she said. Then she saw me and she let out a little scream.

I smiled at her and said, "I am Artemis, goddess of the hunt. Who are you and how did you get here?"

She looked at me with confusion on her face and asked me, "You mean it wasn't all just a dream?"

"I'm not sure what the answer to your question is. How about you tell me your story and then we decide? That should work."

"Okay. My name is Lexi. I had just been caught after running away for the third time and Walter was taking me back home to California. Like normal, he seemed to be drunk and angry so he hit me and yelled at me. Then something strange happened. All of the sudden two of the tires went flat at the same time so Walter had to pull over. As soon as he got out, another guy appeared right next to me, put his hand on me, and then suddenly we were in the woods. I tried to run away, but the man wouldn't let me. He tried to talk to me, but I was scared of him because I thought he would be like Walter. I told him I didn't rust him because he was a man and he told me that he would take me to a safe place where I could have a new family. He told me Artemis would help me and that I should tell her that I'm a daughter of Zeus. I don't know that that means, but he said it was important. Before I could ask him any questions, he touched me and a bright light engulfed me. When the light disappeared, I was standing in front of you. I was so scared I passed out."

She finally finished her story and seemed to be on the verge of tears so I gave her a hug. Her story seemed incredibly strange; I wasn't quite sure what to make of it. I wanted to question her to get more details about everything, but she looked like she might pass out again at any moment. I decided there was one thing I needed to know though. "What did this guy look like? Did he give you a name? What can you tell me about him?"

She looked at me and seemed to think for a moment before responding. "He scared me at first, but now when I think about it, I think he was actually a good guy, not like Walter and the other men who would hit me. He never told me his name and with his hood up, I couldn't see much of his face. All I could see were his eyes. They were a deep sea green color, other than that though, I don't know."

After that, I explained what the hunt was and who I was to her and she joined the hunt. I called Thalia in to look after the newest huntress and meet her little sister. I then went back to my tent and lay down.

I thought about Lexi's story. The description as well as the boys actions sounded like the guy that the other gods were always talking about. An unknown figure that rescued untrained demigods and sent them to camp. They also believe that he is responsible for slaying many monsters that were threatening mortals before other demigods or my hunt could get to them. This was the first time he had sent someone to me though. And his identity. No one knows who he is, but at first we thought he might be the missing Percy Jackson. The description fit him nicely, its just the powers, Percy isn't capable of teleporting himself or anyone else. Nor should he be capable from hiding from the gods for the last five and a half years. Ah well, I would send a report of this incident to my father and let him handle it. For now, I had a new huntress to be thankful for and I needed to sleep.

Well, another chapter down. I hope you all enjoy it. I probably won't be able to update tomorrow because I'm going to be quite busy. Hopefully I can update again on Thursday.
