Hello! Really wanted to write another chapter of this story so here it is. It's shorter then the rest but I wanted to get this out there for you to read.

Enjoy, R&R!

- The Hunter -

Artemis sat inside the Big House with Chiron in his wheelchair. She was quite shocked that the prophecy was issued to her as gods and goddesses didn't go on quests very often. She was trying to understand the prophecy with Chiron. She paced back and forth in the room in her human form while Chiron stayed where he was, watching her slowly wearing a hole in the floor.

"So the first line is Five shall go west to Poseidon's son. They obviously mean Percy since there are no other children of Poseidon alive currently. Then the second line is The fortress stormed and war begun. Since the first line says to go west, I can only assume the prophecy is talking about Mount Othrys. And war begun. That's not a good thing, something we do is going to start a war but with whom? Could it be Romans? We are going to be right next to them if we're going to Mount Othrys.

The bane of Olympus shows the trail. This means I can't just teleport us there since I need to find the bane of Olympus and kill it, that is after all, the ultimate purpose of the quest. Campers and Hunters combined shall prevail. I will have to take some of your campers as well as some of my hunters, probably two campers and two hunters. The titan's curse must one withstand. This is troubling, in order for someone to take the titan's curse they must do it willingly and it also means that Atlas will be free of his punishment which is important because the next line is: And one shall perish by a parent's hand. Zoe is a daughter of Atlas so it will be dangerous for her to go.

Oh, Chiron, is going on these quests always so difficult for your campers? If it is then they deserve more respect, this is hard." Artemis seemed to keep talking for ever, not ever running out of breath and when she did finally finish her monologue, Chiron looked at her with an amused glitter in his eyes.

"You need to pick your companions and get out there, the prophecy will unfold as it should." He said. "Who are you going to take?"

"I'm going to take Phoebe and Zoe as the hunters, maybe Thalia and that Annabeth girl as the campers, do you think they will mind?"

"I'm sure Thalia and Annabeth will love to come, they will be very helpful on your quest. They have gone on many before." Chiron watched Artemis stop pacing and noticed the floor looked considerably more worn in than it had when Artemis had first arrived at the Big House. "As for the stress, most campers feel nervous on their first quest. Thalia and Annabeth have a lot of experience, you can ask them anything. Well, you can ask Annabeth anything, Thalia will probably not be very helpful. It's just not her nature."

Artemis looked at him and sort of stared right past him and stood there for a bit. She then abruptly jerked herself towards the door and left yelling a thank you to Chiron for the advice as she ran to find her soon-to-be companions.

She ran to the archery range where Zoe was training one of the more junior huntresses. "Zoe, can I have a word with you in private." She called out to her lieutenant who patted the young girl she was training on the back and then walked over to where Artemis was waiting.

"Would you like to come on the quest?" Artemis asked. "You heard the prophecy and know the risk but I would still like nothing better than for you to join me."

"Yes Lady Artemis." Zoe said back. "Who else is coming? No males I hope."

"No, I'm thinking about bringing Phoebe, Annabeth and Thalia." Artemis reassured her.

"Thalia's as bad if not worse as any guy." Zoe said with destain.

"I think you're just being a sore loser." Artemis said grinning like the twelve-year-old girl she appeared to be.

"That's all nonsense, I'm a fine loser." She harrumphed indignantly and then added the last part as an afterthought.

"Okay, whatever you say. I'm going to tell the two campers, I'll leave you to inform Phoebe." Artemis said and the two parted ways, one of them walking back towards the archery field, the other heading to the cabins. Artemis walked right to the front of the Zeus cabin and knocked on the doorframe, since it lacked a door. A sleepy looking Thalia made her way to the door while hollering over the knocking. "Who the hell knocks on someone's door before no-" She stopped dead in her tracks once she saw Artemis.

"My apologies, Lady Artemis. I didn't know it was you." She hastily said and gestured for her to come inside. Artemis didn't move.

"Thalia, will you accompany me on my quest?" She asked the daughter of Zeus. Thalia looked like she had been struck with lighting.

"You want me to come with you?" She repeated Artemis' question. She didn't like the hunters, not one bit but it would be disrespectful to refuse a goddess and she would like the opportunity to repay Percy for saving her when they rescued the children of Hades. "Sure, I'll come."

"Excellent, We'll meet outside the Big House tomorrow at sunrise." Thalia groaned internally. So much for sleeping in. She thought to herself as Artemis stalked off to find Annabeth.

One would think a child of Athena would be at the Athena cabin but when Artemis arrived she was told by Malcolm that Annabeth was at the beach. Artemis found her feet to be sore from all the walking so she teleported to the beach making Annabeth jump up in shock. "Lady Artemis." The demigod greeted her once she had found her voice again.

"Hello Annabeth, would you accompany me on my quest?" The goddess asked.

"Definitely! It'd be an honour!" She replied happily.

"Excellent. Meet us in front of the Big House at sunrise tomorrow." Artemis said before teleporting away leaving an overly excited Annabeth to jump around the beach. She appeared outside the Artemis cabin and walked in to be greeted by the hunters who weren't out doing something. Artemis took top bunk farthest to the back and lay down to collect her thoughts. Even a day later, the shock at having a quest was just beginning to dissipate. Artemis was actually quite worried about how the quest will go, having never gone on one before. She knew though that she needed to appear confident in front of her hunters, even if she wasn't very confident herself.

Artemis lay atop her bunk for the rest of the day. Tomorrow, her quest would begin.

Thanks for reading! I've been getting a lot of review and PMs some saying that they want this to be a Pertemis story others saying they want it to be a Percabeth story. Vote now! I prefer reviews over PMs, guest reviews will be ignored in the vote.
