Ok! Here is the next chapter! And to those of you who follow my betrayed god fanfic I am very sorry that I had not updated in a couple weeks! I use my phone for this story and the computer for the betrayed god story and I missed my weekly chance. But enough about that! To answer one of the questions, yes this will be a pertemis fanfic!

Percy POV

I woke up that morning and stretched. I had not had a particularly good sleep, over the years I've come to prefer sleeping in the out doors rather than in a building. Tents I didn't mind to much, I had one of my own for when it rains. But I did not like it as much as sleeping outside. So I rolled out of bed and threw on my cloak and my magic weaponsand headed out the door. I went down to the lobby and checked out. Strangely even more girls stared drooling at me than when I was in my hood less Mortem form. I shrugged and started walking towards Artemis's palace. It was not all that hard to find as it was bright silver and right next to the giant gleaming gold palace across the street. I walked up and took in the feeling of grandness, the building itself had an elegant design and was made of pure silver. The grounds dwarfed the palace in comparison, it was hundreds of acres of bright green nature. Most of it was forest but some of the front grounds was cut into perfect form. I walked up to the gate unsure of what to do, when I felt magic at work. It seemed to be alerting Artemis that there was someone at the gate. Sure enough a moment later the gates smoothly glided open. I walked to the door and knocked and politely waited. A few seconds later the door opened.

"What do you want apoll-" she stopped once she saw me "Perseus? What are you doing here?" She asked confused

"I am here to see you obviously." I said smirking a bit

She blushed faintly, anyone else would have missed it

"I came to apologize for my harsh behavior yesterday. I have not been around many people lately and it seems that my manners have rusted. I was angry but I should not have taken it out on you. I apologize." I said humbly

She looked pretty stunned

"No, you were right Perseus. I did see what was happening and I should have tried to help you. I am sorry I didn't."

"It's fine."

It started getting awkward so tried to make a stab at conversation

"That's really an impressive forests you have there, do hunt there often?" I asked

"Uh, yeah sometimes. Usually I'm hunting with my girls though."

"Perhaps sometime we could go hunting together, a little friendly competition?" I suggested

She smirked

"Have you learned to fire a bow straight enough to hit the broad side of a barn?" She asked mischievously

I smirked and summoned my bow, before Artemis could say a word though I aimed and fired into the sky.

A second later a screeched was heard a a bird fell from the sky a few feet from us, with a black arrow through its heart.

Artemis's eyes widened

"Impressive, when did you learn to do that?" She asked

"Many years ago. It became frustrating hunting food and monsters with throwing knives and powers so I taught myself. I think I've improved a bit since we last meet."

"Maybe a little." She said with a smirk

"Well I should be going now. I look forward to hunting with you soon though."

She smiled

Her smile made my blood run for a moment before I squished the feeling. I would not be feeling those feelings again. Not after what happened last time, after she betrayed me.

"I look forward to that too, see you at the meeting Perseus."

I nodded politely and turned to leave.

I walked calmly out the gates and started wondering around thinking.

I wonder where they will try to put me, I hope they realize that I won't go somewhere I don't want to go. Things might not go well if they try to force me.

I was pulled out of my thoughts by someone grabbing onto my arm, I quickly reached for my knife and nearly caught the hand off before I saw it was only Aphrodite.

"Hey Percy." She said in a would-be seductive voice

"Aphrodite. What do you want?" I asked detaching myself from her

"What? Can't an old friend say hello?" She asked innocently

"You are not an old friend Aphrodite. I do not even consider you a friend." I said coldly

Aphrodite seemed unfazed though

"So Percy, thinking we would go drop by my palace... And have some fun?" She said grinning

"No." I said

She seemed surprised

"Come on Percy, let's go to my palace." She said a thick voice

I frowned annoyed

"Leave me alone Aphrodite, your pathetic charm speak will not work on me. So just get lost." I said irritated

She looked shocked and rather disappointed

"Oh, come on Percy. You know you want to. And I can promise you it will be the best night of your life." She said in last attempt to get to bed with her

"No, Aphrodite." I said firmly

She opened her mouth again but was interrupted by an unusually large bang of thunder

"Thank the gods." I muttered

"You know Zeus will be really angry with you if your late. If you agree to bed with me I will flash you to the throne room." She said sweetly

I rolled my eyes and teleported myself to the throne room. A moment later Aphrodite appeared and sat down with a huff.

One by one the others flashed in.

Once everyone was gathered Zeus began the meeting

"As you all know we are here to discuss where Perseus shall be and what he shall do from now on. If any of you have any ideas than please let us know." He said

Barely had Zeus finished talking before Aphrodite's perfectly manicured hand shot up.

Zeus sighed

"Yes Aphrodite? Do you have a suggestion?" He said tiredly

"Yes! I think we should have Percy stay with me!" She said excitedly

Artemis frowned a little when she said this

"Absolutely not! I will not allow my son to be one of your little concubines Aphrodite!" Poseidon said angrily

But no sooner had he said those words then a pitch black throwing knife appeared in his shoulder.

"I am not your son!" I yelled furiously "What makes you think you can just take back all the pain and suffering you caused me? That you can call me your own flesh and blood without thought of what you did to me?!"

Poseidon was shocked and in pain, he barely even knew how to respond

"Percy, I know you are angry at me. But please, calm down and think about this! I regret what I did, I am sorry." He said trying to reason with me

"Calm down and think about this? Did you calm down and think when you disowned me? When you showed such blatant favoritism of him over me? What do he do that j did not?! He killed a a couple hell hounds. I killed a couple hundred thousand! He lounged on his lazy ass, I fought and led two wars! He lied to and manipulated everyone at camp, I saved every one of their lives! So tell me how was he better? Did he clear your name when Zeus thought you stole his master bolt? Did he save Thalia's tree? Did he rescue Artemis from atlas? Did he navigate the labyrinth? Did he fight and kill Kronos? Did he single handedly defeat a primordial goddess of the earth? I DIDN'T THINK SO POSEIDON!" I screamed

All the gods shrunk back from the powerful aura I was emitting. I took a deep breath

I looked at the others

"I am sorry, as I told Artemis earlier it had been a long time since I have been around other people for more than a few minutes and it is a little hard to control my anger right now." I said not looking at Poseidon

Aphrodite was practically shaking in her throne. I was confused as to why she was so excited until I remembered her suggestion.

"And no Aphrodite, I will go with you and become one of your little sex toys." I said firmly

She opened her mouth and I could sense magic getting ready to work.

"Do not even try it Aphrodite! I already told you charm speak does not work on me!" I said angry that she try to force me become her sex toy against my will

She pouted and slouched in her chair

"Uh, well any other suggestions?" Zeus asked

A few minutes passed before anyone said anything

Hephaestus raised his hand

"I could take you in and teach you how to be a proper blacksmith." He rumbled

I thought about it

"Thank you for your very generous offer lord Hephaestus, but if I am to change my life style than I would prefer to make sure that I still have as much possible action and fight as possible." I said politely

He just shrugged and went back to work on his little device

A few more ideas came up such as helping Athena sort through old archives, Dionysus wanted me to take over camp half blood which I out right refused. Zeus wanted me to take control of his army as general, but I told him I had already seen more war then most mortals could handle.

When everyone seemed to be running out of ideas I started to feel hopeful that I could just return to the way I was before. But than Poseidon hesitantly raised his shaking hand.

"Uh, what if I brought Percy down to Atlantis with me? He could help train my army." Poseidon said hopefully

I could practically feel my face turning hard as rock.

"No." I said coldly

"Please, Percy. I want to make things right! Please come to Atlantis to me. Surely you realize how rate it is for me to invite even my own sons to Atlantis?" He said

My eyes started to glow faintly as they do when I am struggling to control my anger.

"It can not be that rare if you invited Michael several times... Including the times when you asked him right in front of right after you disowned me!" I said I a barely controlled voice

Poseidon slumped down into his throne with a disappointed expression.

"Anyone else? Come on, we need somewhere for to stay where we can reach him!" Zeus said frustrated

Suddenly Zeus sat up like a fire was lit under his pants.

He slowly and dramatically turned to Artemis who a had a suspicious expression on.

A moment later I sensed magic at work so I discreetly tapped in.

Please Artemis, he said he wants somewhere to reside where there is lots of action but not a life of war, this is perfect for him! Zeus said

Absolutely not! This has never happened before and it never will! Besides they will never accept him! It will only end in ruins! Artemis replied

I am sure it will be fine! How about this, we try it and if it does not work than we will let it rest and find something new. Zeus suggested

Ug, fine! But if something happens this is on you! Artemis gave in

With that the conversation ended, but I was rather uncertain about what was about might be about to happen.

Zeus turned back to the council

"Perseus, Artemis and I have come up with another idea that I hope will suit you better than the others." He started

"Perseus, would you like to be a guardian of the hunt?" Artemis asked hesitantly

Judging from the lack of surprised faces I was not the only one eves dropping.

I tried to look mildly surprised but I am not sure anyone really expected me to.

Actually as I thought about it, it did not really seem like that bad an idea. There would be plenty of action and challenges as the hunt often went after large groups of monsters for Olympus, so boredom probably would not be an issue. And it would ensure that I would be kept away from that blasted camp.

"Why does the hunt even need a guardian? They seem like perfectly capable fighters." I asked

"Thank you!" Artemis huffed

"Because had you not been there today, the hunt would be no more. I do not want that to happen, not only are they a great asset to Olympus. But it would devastate my daughter."

I looked at Artemis

"And what do you think about this?" I asked politely

She sighed

"I suppose it might be true that the hunt may have a bit of a tough time pulling through the battle this afternoon. And it really would devastate me if something happened to my girls. And I suppose there could be worse males. I guess it would not be the worst of ideas." She said grudgingly "If nothing else, Thalia might be happy."

I nodded

"Very well. I accept." I said

Aphrodite looked irritated

"Oh come on! How do we know if you two are not forcing him to do this! For all we know he might wan to stay with me!" She said loudly

I rolled my eyes

"How would they threaten me Aphrodite? I have no family, I have no one left that I care about. And I have nothing left to lose. There is nothing they could take from me." I said

"Well... Well how do you know he will not abandon you Artemis? He is a male after all! Isn't that what you would expect a male to do?" She asked

Artemis opened her mouth to reply but before she could I spoke up

"I would never abandon Artemis in a time of need nor her hunters. I swear on the Styx I will protect Artemis and her hunters with my life loyally until the end of time unless I have a strong reason to leave." I said with a tone of finality

The gods stared at me in surprise. Clearly none of them expected me to take this so seriously.

"Um, well if that is all then? Perseus, Artemis I will leave you two to set things up. Council dismissed!" Zeus shouted dramatically as always

He flashed out with Hera in a bright flash of light. The other gods rolled their eyes and flashed out one by one. Once they were all gone Artemis stood up and shrank down to human size and walked over to me.

"We are camped at flat head national park in Idaho. Come there as soon as you have your possessions together. I expect you to be there within the hour." She said before flashing out

I gave her a moment before vapor traveling to where she said than following her godly aura I found the hunters camp. I hid among the branches on a strong tree and listened in on their conversation cloaked in the darkness of night.

"Ok, hunters I have some bad news." Artemis said once she had gathered the hunters

The hunters groaned

"Zeus has ordered a male guardian to protect us." She said

The hunters exploded

"What!? Why!? We do not need protecting! We can handle ourselves!" Phoebe shouted

"Yeah! And who is this guardian anyway?" Thalia asked

I chose this as my entrance moment

I vapor traveled over to in front of the hunters and reconstructyself from the mist dramatically.

"That would be me." I said

Ok, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! I am sorry that it was not all that long again but I really wanted to get this up for all of you! So I hope that makes up for it! See you all next time!
