Chapter 4

I was broken out of my reminiscing by my wife, Zoe. Even though we have been married for millennia, we don't have any children. Since we are married, she is full immortal, but if we were to have a kid, she would be a goddess, so she wouldn't be able to hunt with them as much as she wished because if the Ancient Laws. I am free from the Ancient Laws, so I can do as I please. I haven't had any demigod children because I really want my body parts to be intact. The only people that even know about me are my mom, my dad, the hunters, the Primordials, and Aunt Hestia. Aunt Hestia knows because she was the one that helped my mom give birth to me. I could get my own tent with the hunters, but I wanted to share with Zoe. I walked out of the tent and Mom walked up to me and greeted me with a hug.

"Do you have time to eat with us Percy?"

"I think I could for a little while!"

"Then you have to cook! You know I hate it."

"Yes ma'am!"

I laughed at the last part because I am way more powerful than her and she knows it, but I have always been humble. I started cooking my mom's favorite food, deer meat. (AN: I had to add that since she is the goddess of the hunt.) I added my secret sauce that makes everyone think I'm a professional cook. The secret is to crush ambrosia, garlic, and salt together. After it was finished, I passed it out to the hunters, then took my seat opposite of my mother. Zoe sat next to me and held my hand. All the hunters smiled at us. They liked me and thought that I was like thief older brother. After everyone ate, we all cleaned up, then sat by the fire. I saw a faint flash in the woods and immediately grabbed my bow (a black/silver bow with images of wolves on the sides) and ran towards it, hunters right behind me. When I arrived, I saw Hermes. He looked at me in surprise and then looked towards my mom with a questioning look. He was confused at how similar we looked. (AN: Percy looks almost identical to artemis. He got his looks from her. The auburn hair, silver eyes, and the lean build are the same.)

He looked at Mom and said, "There is a meeting on Olympus. Bring him too. He makes me suspicious. If you do not bring him, I will tell Father and he will send search parties."

Mom looked at me in sadness and compliance. I knew that I would have to go and she did too.

"I will go with you Lord Hermes. On one condition though. You have to promise not to harm Lady Artemis."

"I will agree to your terms. I Swear on the River Styx that I won't harm her."

I was admiring the Olympian Throne Room was impressive, but not as awe-inspiring as he Great Throne Room of the Primordials. Hermes walked to his throne and grew to a height of 20 ft., the average height of a god. Mom did the same. I stood in the middle and bowed slightly to Zeus.

"Who are you and why are you here?!"

"I am Lord Perseus, son of Artemis and Chaos. Primordial of Water, The Earth, The Sky, Time, Light, Darkness, Battle, Archery, Hunting, Creation, Love, Fate, Destiny, Night, and Day!"

"You lie! My daughter is a maiden goddess!"

"I'm not lying. I swear on my father Chaos himself that I am telling the truth!"

The lights went out and the room dropped 20 degrees and then everything returned to normal.

"My daughter, why have you broken your oath?"

"He was born 10 years before my oath. I still love his father, but we couldn't be together, so I made my vow. I love my so and I will always protect him!" She stated simply, getting mad at Zeus.

"He shall die!"

"Lord Zeus, I challenge you to a duel! If I win, you will accept me into this family, but if you win, you can banish from Olympus and this family!"

"Fine, Perseus! I swear on the River Styx to your terms!"

"No you must swear on Chaos!"

He looked a little fearful because if you break and oath on Chaos, you immediately fade.

"Fine! I swear on Chaos himself to abide by your terms Perseus."

"You have 24 hours to prepare for the duel! May the best warrior win!"
