TIME SKIP 8 YEARS LATER
Hera POV
I was starting to get worried it has been eight years since my son completed his training with the Amazons. Eight years with no ward on where he is at or when he is coming back, Hades would get a letter tied to a hellhound by the name of Mrs.O'Leary, he would get a letter about once a month telling us that he was fine but not syaing where he was or when he was coming back. Athena, Hades, Hestia and myself thought that he wold leave for a couple years and come back. Boy were we wrong.
Once percy banishment was revealed when the gods wern't busy with their duties they would surch for Percy heck even Ares was searching which suprised me. After two years of searching my "darling" Husband decided to call off the search for Percy because we had to worry about the return of Hyperion and Krios even though they havent been seen since the little apperance at camp halfblood.
After three years the only people who were still searching for my son was the romans and Thalia when she wasnt hunting and even thouhg she thinks noone knows, Artemis would go off on her "lone hunting" trips and she would search for him. After four years of searching everyone was giving up hope but Thalia, Nico, Jason, Triton, and Ampitirite along with some demigods from camp half-blood. Those guys kept searching no matter what anyone said they would search. Thats how you know who your friends are they never give up on you.
Ever since his disaperance my brother has been in deep state of depression, the only thing that keeps him going was the determination to find his son. There has been so many times where I wanted to tell him but we promised not say a word to anybody until Percy decides to reveil himself. Posiedon hardley ever leaves Atlantis and he never comes to any meetings.
I was sitting in the garden worrying about my son he hasnt sent us a message for awhile I hope he is alright. As I was sitting there I was brought out of my thought's by a loud roar of thunder signaling a emergency meeting.
ARTEMIS POV
This was the fourth monster pack we have found this munth they alll seem to be heading to Alaska, I need to alert the coucil. I flashed to the throne room and shot a arrow into the ceiling and thunder rumbled across the sky. One by one the gods flashed in and shockingly Posiedon showed up but he did not look good. His eyes have lost most of their color and looked like he hasnt slept in weeks. Finaly Zeus flashed in .
"Why have you called this meeting Daughter." Zeus aggresivly said.
"Me and my hunters came across a pack of monster's, but they didn't seem to notice us so we fallowed them. When we left them it looked like they were heading to Alaska. At first we ddn't think anything of it but we came across three more packs this mounth all seem to be heading to Alaska."
"Why didn't you destroy these packs." Athena asked. "Well sister I would have but there were to many of them and I would have lost alot of hunters if I atttacked." Athena slunk back into her throne puzzled by this information. I looked around to see all the gods were puzzled besides Posiedon who wasnt caring about anything but Perseus and Dionysus who was asleep in his throne.
"Well we have no influence in Alaska so there is not much we can do, but if you come across another pack destroy it." Zeus thundered.
"Yes father there is another reason why I called this meeting. There has been a mysterius figure bringing me new hunters in the middle of the night." All the gods straightend up when I said all but Posiedon who still did not care. " When I questioned the girls they tell me about their life of how they were abused or neglacted before a man dressed in a black cloak with a hood on would show up and dispose of the pigs in horrible grussom ways." Posiedon sat up in his throne hoping that it was his son.
"they say the man is very nice and would heal there wounds and take care of them and would escort them to my camp where he told them that they would be safe and that we would take care of them before disappearing into the shadows. When I asked them to describe the man the all describe him the same way tall, caring sort of like a big brother that came to rescue them,the only thing they could see behind the mans hood was a pair of firey orange eyes. They said his name is Shade." Posiedon slumped back into his throne. Once I was finished seen of mixed emotion coming from everyone.
"Well we must find this man and bring him to the council, we must find out if he is a threat." Zeus said. I just rolled my eyes at my father's paranoia like seriusly if this man was a threat I highly doubt he would bring me new recruits.
ATHENA POV
He's back, after all this time Percy is finaly back , there is noone els that it could be. After the meeting everyon flashed out but Hades, Hestia, Hera, and my self. I looked over at my aunts and uncle " so I take it you all have the same feeling to." They all nodded. "My assasin is back." Hades had an evil on his face, Hera and Hestia had big smiles on their faces. "Well we better find him before anyone else, if someone else finds him Zeus will probably blast him into million pieces just because of the power he has."
"Over my dead body will my little brother kill my champion." Hestia said her eyes ablaze with anger. Hades nodded in agreement.
"Athena is right my husband will kill my son on sight just because of the power he has, and if he kills Percy before his identity is reveailed and the council finds out Posideon will declare war." Athena nodded in agreement.
"Ok then we better find him, if there is war I will stand by Posiedon." Hades explained and we all nodded in agreement before we all flashed out.
PERCY POV
After years of training with master fighters from around the world and surviving on the nothing but the enviroment. There is nothing that I couldnt do, I'm was able move and attack silently and hide without being seen. I didnt know how long I was gone the only thing I was concentrating on was the art of fighting. I had matered diffrent sword and spear fighting styles from anchient greek and roman to persian and the samurai of Japan, and became a master with a bow and throwing knifes.
I also learned how to craft wepons like my spear I carry around with me, it is eight feet long made of stygian iron and celestial bronze and the shaft looked like it was on fire. I had it enchanted so it would always return to me and that I could collapse into a police baton. I created some more stygion iron throwing knives so now I have ten throwing knives acrossed my waist in addition to the three on each of my shoulders. I also made me another sword to go along with riptide and malestrom, it is a four foot long Persian war sword made out of celstial bronze and stygian iron with a shallow curve I call it Typhon. I'am basicaly a walking armory. The best part about my travels is that I made a couple good friends thought some useful skills and was able to learn how to ride Moros. It's time for me go home.
TIME SKIP 3 MONTHS
I was realxing by the fire at my makeshift camp when Moros lifted his head and started growling and looking of towards the trees's. I gripped my spear moros's senses are never wrong. Just as I stood with my spear in hand Hades walked out of the shadows the three bright ights appeared, when it died down my mom Hestia and Athena were standing beside Hades. I smiled and lowered my spear, just as I dropped my spear I was engulfed in a big bear hug that would make Tyson jelous.
HERA'S POV
Me and Hestia were sitting around her hearth just discusing where Percy might be at when Hades emerged from the shadows. He had a slight smirk on his face "I found Percy call Athena." I jumped with excitment a few minutes later Athena flashed in.
"Why did you summon me." She asked
"Hades has found Percy." Athena's face broke into a huge smile. "Just fallow my energy signale." We nodded towards him. As soon as he disappeared into the shadow we tracked his energy to somewhere in he mountains of Virginia, as soon as we got a lock on to him we flashed to hiim.
As soon as we got to are destination I saw Percy standing with a spear in a ready stance but once he saw us he dropped the spear. I ran to him and give a big hug, he has grown over the years he is no longer that scrony kid that fought the giants. As I hugged him I felt a few tears forming in my eyes.
"Mom its good to see you again." Someone cleared there throat from behind me. "It's good to see you to Athena Hestia Hades." I released him from my embrace and he was imediately tackled by Athena and Hestia. Hades walked up to me and patted me on the back. I was glareing at him as soon as he noticed me he paled.
"So son WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN." I shouted. "We have not herd from you in over a month, do you know how worried I have been you could have IM us instead of writing letters." The whole time I was ranting at him I could hear Athena Hestia and Hades behind laughing but I didnt care. I finaly stoped mt ranting to give him time to explain.
"Mom I'm sorry for not contacting you for a while, and for not IM you you guys know that I didn't want anybody to know about me, as soon as Iris found she would have said something."
"I guess you got a point there son so I guess I cant be to mad at you." ismiled at him and gave him another hug he dose have a point about Iris "I'm just happy to have my son back home."
For the next hour we were just sitting by the fire and talking about his travels where he has been and what he have done. Near the end of are talk Athena gave him the location of one of her daughters who is in real bad way so he decided to start packing up and say goodbye and left to go find her. After percy left we went back to olympus, well Hades went back to the underworld the rest of us went back to olympus.
ARTEMIS POV
It has been a couple weeks since the meeting on olympus and new hunters keep showing up at camp and apparently the same has been happening at camp Half-Blood and camp Jupiter. This is realy driving me crazy I have posted more hunters to the night watch but this man keeps avoiding us. He sneaks into my camp drops of the girl without being spotted by my hunters or arousing our wolves. Not to mention that noone can seem to find this guy.
I took Thalia Pheobe and some other hunters out on a scouting mission while the rest set up camp. We were about to turn around and head back to camp when we were ambushed by a small army of Hell hounds, cyclops's and a couple canadian giants. Most of the hunters that were with me got injured when they suprised us not to bad, the only ones still fighting were me Thalia Pheobe Atlanta and Chloe and we would soon be overwhelmed, I couldn't go into my godly form because it would have killed my hunters.
I looked over to see a hellhoud sneak up behind Pheobe and knock her to the ground and cut a pretty big gash on her back and a cyclops walked over to her about ready to finish the job, I just watched in horror as I was unabke to move, as the sword was comming down it stopped suddenly, I looked alittle closer and saw a flaming white arrow sticking through the cyclops neck.
I looked around and see more monsters falling by the same kind of arrow, I fallowed it and saw a figure perched in a tree with a white bow firing with speed and acuracy that rivals even the best of my hunters. As soon as the monsters noticed him he jumped down off the tree and fired a couple fire balls into the monster horde but the fire was pitch black.
He drew a sword and lit it on fire with the same black fire and charged the monster. I was stunned at the speed and grace in which he fought, his technique was flawless as he sliced from monsrer to monster as he decapitated a canadian giant he sent a fire ball into the remaining monster completely obliterating them. He sheathed his sword and ran for Pheobe, me Thalia, Atlanta, and Chloe turned our bow's on him.
"Who are you," I asked with a arrow pointed at his head.
"My name is Shade and With all the due respect lady Artemis if you dont let me by so I can heal your hunter she is going to die." I turned to see Pheobe in bad shape the rest of them wernt bad just some shallow cuts, I nodded to Thalia and she reluctantly let him by.
When they lowered their bow's and he ran past me, he lit his hands on fire and I thought he was going to hurt her more but his hand started to glow orange and place them on her back, her wounds began to close up, so this is the man that has been bringing us new hunters, he is clearly skilled and powerful. As soon as he is done I will take him to Olympus my father will want to have a few words with him.
As soon as he finished he stood up but before I could do anything he vanished in a falsh of flames, but before he could disappear completely I noticed some symbols on his left sleevei didn't get a good look but I recognized one.
"Thalia, Atlanta take the rest of the wounded back to camp I need to report this, and a certain someone has some explaining to do." I mumbled that last part and flashed out.
I arrived in the throne room to se my father sitting in his throne talking to Hera. "Father can you call a meeting I have some important news that I need to report." He nodded and slamed his master bolt on the ground while Hera was eyeing me strangly the rest of the gods flashed in, after a minute Posiedon finaly showed up. "Ok you may begin daughter."
"I saw the man that has been rescuing demigods earlier today." "Well then why is he not here"
"Please let me finish father." He nodded. I begain to tell them of what happened how we were ambushed and how Pheobe was wounded right when she was about to be killed a white flamming arrow killed the cyclops then a cloaked man jumped down from the trees and shot a couple fire balls into the monsters and charged the horde and after how healed Pheobe and vanished in flash of flames.
"So this man is a fire user." Zeus stated while looking at Hephestus
"Yes but this fire it wasn't normal fire or greek fire this fire was black." I stated everyone looked confused until Hades spok up. "So he is very powerful."
"What do you mean brother?" Demeter asked.
"What Artemis just described is called Hell Fire." Everyone gave him a questioning look. "Hell fire is extreamly dangerus and rare, only very powerful beings can summon it there only a few I know of that can summon it, its not like normal fire if hell fire hits a mortal or demigod it will literaly burn their soul to ashes, they wont go to the underworld they will go to void, and if a immortal gets hit then that person will be serverly weaknd or kill them."
As my uncle was explained it I paled as did most gods and godess in the room. "We realy need to find him." Zeus said sounding angry. "Father before he left I noticed a few symbols I didnt get a very good look but I recognized one."
"Well then what was is." Apollo asked.
"It was a peacock the symbol of your wife."
"WHAT HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS MAN." ZEUS thunders
"I'm his patron and dont raise your voice to me Zeus."
"WHAT I ordered this man to be brought here and you have known where has been the entire time."
"Yes brother we have." Zeus looked over to see Hestia standing in front of her throne.
"WHAT Hestia you known about this man to." "Why yes of course little brother he is my champion."
My father's face was now red with rage he summond his master bolt and was about to stand up but a stygian iron sword was at his throat.
"You will not harm our sister or my assasin little brother." Hades with a deadly tone on his face and before my father could reply Athena stood with her spear in hand, I thought she was going to attack Hades but to mine and everyone suprise she lowered her spear on our father. "Athena Hades what is this treachery." My father said through gritted teeth.
"There is no treachery we are just protecting our champion husband." Hera said that last part like it was poisiom.
"This man is a threat to Olympus and I will see him destroyed."
"He is our champion, he is loyal to us and is under our protection if you touch him I will rip you apart little brother." Hestia said suprising us all. the normal peaceful godess just issued a threat.
"How about you guys bring him here and we will judge for our selfes." Suprisingly my dim witted brother Apollo had a good idea.
"Ok but you all must swear on the river styx that anything said stays in this room unless he gives the ok." Hera demanded
"What I wil…." My father started to say but was interupted when Posiedon put a hand on his shoulder. "Peace brother they say he is no threat and I trust them so there tearms are agreable." Father looked like he was about ready to blast Posiedon but sighed and nodded
"We swear on the river syx to the tearms you stated." Thundered rumbled sealing the oath.
"Hestia would you go get him please." Hera asked. Hestia nodded and flashed out. Hades and Athena lowered ther wepons and sat back down on their thrones.
NO-ONE POV
A few minutes later Hestia returned with Shade.
"Why I'm I here." He said with a little bit of anger and confussion in his voice
"I'm sorry man, Zeus here was going to kill you if we didnt bring you, then I would had to kill him. They are bound by oath not to say a word outside this room." Hades stated. Shade just lowered his head.
"So what do you all want." He plainly said.
"You need to so show us some respect mortal." Zeus bellowed but got some evil looks. Shade just stood there not even fazed. "Show yourself before I blast you in to tartarus"
Hades and Hestia was bout to stand again but shade just shook his and they relaxed. Shade moved his hands towards his hood me as well as every other olympian leaned forward and everyone gasped standing in the middle of the room was the savior of Olympus Perseus Jackson.
The council stared at the son of Posiedon in shocked silence. It was broken by a teary eyed sea god jumping of his throne grabbing his son in a tight embrace.
"Where have you been son." Posiedon asked as he held him like he was going to run away again.
Percy looked at his father sadly. "Traveling and training, after everything that happened there was realy no place for me to go."
Posiedon looked worriedly at his son, he didn't have any of his useual happiness that you would normaly would see in his eyes, but there was nothing but pain and despair. Despite his worry Posiedon was glad to have his son back safe and sound in front of him.
Zeus cleared his throat behind the reunited father and son. "Perseus I believe we have some questionfor you." Zeus asked as he looked betwwen his wife and the demigod suspiciously." Percy nodded his head.
"How did you become my wife champion, along with Hestia, Hades and Athena's."
Hera rolled her eyes at her husband's paranoia. Percy eyes darkedn to almost black which unsettled most gods and godesses. Hera, Hestia, Hades, and Athena walked over to him and stood beside him while Hera put her hand on his shoulder.
"I owe them my life, if it wasn't for them I would have comitted sucide by now." Percy said coldly
"Whta? What are you talking about son?" Posiedon demanded while looking at Hera suspiciously.
Percy just shook his head. "Afrer I was banished form camp I went to my mother' place, I was going to stay their for a couple days so I could figure out what I was going to do next." Percy explained as his body tensed. Hestia held his hand comfortingly while Hera whispered soothing words and Hades gently patted him on the back. The rest of the council stared them with wide eyes.
Percy calmed at the comfort of his three patrons. He looked back towards Zeus and his father.
"When I got there both Paul and Sally were laying on the floor with spears through their gut." Percy sadley said with tears starting to come down his cheek.
Posiedon stood up from his throne in rage "What? Who killed them I will make them beg for Tartarus."
"Percy just shook his head. "I dont know father, but I'm going to find out."
Posiedon slumped into his throne with his head in his hands sobbing, Hestia walked over to her brother and tried to comfort him. After a couple minutes Posiedon collected him self and sat on his throne. "Please continue son."
Hera answered before Percy could. "Hestia and I were watching Percy in her hearth when he discovered his parents. We immediately flashed down to him where we met Hades who sensed their preseance in the underworld." Hades just nodded. "We comforted him and helped transport their bodies to the beach where they had a proper funeral. After that he became Hestia champion and Hades assasin."
"And yours." Artemis said.
"Well… about that, he is not my champion I sorta adopted him."
"HOW DARE YOU ADOPTED A SON WITHOUT TALKING TO ME." Zeus stood up angrily.
"DONT YOU DARE GO THERE ZEUS YOU KNOW HOW MANY KIDS YOU HAVE HAD IN THE CENTURIES, I THINK THAT I'AM ENTITLED TO BE ABLE TO ADOPT ON." Hera said full of rage. Zeus just sat there in shock.
Posiedon stood up angrily, but before he could speak Percy spoke up.
"Dad before you say anything she really helped me out and filled the void in my life when my mom died, I know she could never replace her but proud her son as well as your's. I'am trully thankful for her for all of them."
Posiedon looked his brother and sister's before engolfing them in a big hug. "Ok sister I'am gateful for what you have done for my son while I'am not happy that I wasn't informed it is Percy decision and I will stand behind my son." Hera gave her brother a smile and Posiedon sat back down on his throne.
Percy continued his story about training with the amazons for a year then traveling around the world learning from diffrent master's in fighting.
The gods looked at the demigod in awe this was the first time a demigod survived outside the country homed by the gods, and he managed it for 8 years a huge feat. After the son of the sea god was finished the gods looked at him in shock.
PERCY POV
I finished my story now all the gods are staring at me makeing and the room filled with unconfortible silence untile Ares broke the silence.
"Well this punk is a threat." But as soon as he notice all the death glares he shut up. I cant beleave after all I done he would still think that I would betray Olympus. I walked up and kneeled in forn of Zeus.
"I swear on the river styx that I will never go against Olympus and to fight for them if the need ever rises." Thundered sounded and all the gods looked stuned.
"Wow Percy, you put alot of us at ease at your oath although it was unexpected and not needed." Zeus proclaimed. "For your past deeds and for helping are children a pallas shall be built for you on Olympus for when ever your here." Everyone stared at him in completly shock.
"Thank you uncle Zeus that is very generous of you." Zeus nodded to him.
"I have a proposition for you orIf you wish you can return to camp Half-Blood." Zeus asked. "What is the proposition uncle."
"Well I was thinking of making you the guardian of Artemis and her hunters." Zeus said
"WHAT!" Artemis and I both yelled. "Uncle I dont realy want to die." "Father I dont need protecting and my hunter wont stand for this, styx I wont stand for this."
"Come on now daughter after the attack today it will put my mind at ease and it is either him or some other god."
"But he will be lazy and flirt with my hunters." After she said that my eyes blazed with anger.
"Lady Artemis I swear not only on the river styx but on the creator Lady Chaos her self that I will never flirt with your hunters and will protect you and the hnters from harm with my life." I looked to see alot of shocked faces of the council and fear in thr eyes of my father, "Percy you shouldn't hav" before he could finsh the sentance a black portal opened up beside me and beautiful women stepped out. She was tall with pitch black hair, with supernova for eyes and what looked liked little galaxies on her cloths and the amount of power radiating of her made the olympians look like ants.
"Perseus why did you swear on my name." I bowed before her "Lady Chaos I swore on your name because the gods have shown in the past that the styx could be overridden but a oath on your name is the biggest one someone could and wanted to show Lady Artemis I was serius."
Lady Chaos just stared deep into my eyes as searching through m soul. "Very well you have a pure heart and soul so I will allow you to live, but be warned if you break your oath well no one has survived a broken oath on my name, I will give you my blessing to help you out in your new duties."
With that she shot a big black ball of energy at me.I must have blacked out because when I opened my eyes Chaos was gone but I felt taller. All the gods were staring at me so I started to check my self, but the only thing diffrent was that my white bow my mom gave was now black but still had the peacock symbol on top and bottom parts of the bow and I had a two new symbols on my sleave. The first was a outline of a trident which is obviusly Posiedons and the other one was a black hole which I gues was Chaos's symbol. I looked over to Artemis to her staring with a emotionless expression.
"Well Perseus I guess meet us in yellowston national park by morning." And with that she flashed out.
