Percy killed many monsters with indefinite ease. They were all but a spark, compared to his shine. The memories were all coming back. He was Perseus Jackson, Savior of Olympus, former Bearer of Achilles Curse, Slayer of Medusa, along with many other titles. He now knew who he was. He was completely back. But he did not know if he loved Annabeth anymore. Many things had changed and one thing he had learned as a Roman was that he could sense events. Right now, he sensed that something important was going to happen. Something revolutionary. Something powerful...
Artemis was furious. She could not allow this male to join her. It was preposterous! But when Father decreed it, it was not arguable. Zeus had indeed given John a horrible punishment. From now on, his life would be distraught with misery and pain.
"Alright, my Hunters. I have extremely grim news. A male will be joining us." A bunch of voices rang out in disbelief, outrage, anger, and so forth. They all were very surprised and angry at this decision. Yet there was nothing Artemis could do. All she could do was make this upside down, so it would not be her miserable, it would be him.
Only Zoe, her lieutenant, remained calm. But Artemis knew that inside, Zoe must be boiling, as Artemis herself was. Artemis sensed that John was about to return, so they all got ready, sullenly awaiting his arrival.
In a flash of light, John appeared. He looked extremely confused and nervous. If everything he was told was true, he could expect a punishment worse than Basic Training. He would have to face female immortals. That would be extremely nerve-racking. Females were scary amongst themselves, and not to be intimidated. But female immortals were expected to be a thousand time worse. John quietly tried to ignore the stares heading his way and went to his tent to unpack in the neat, orderly, military way that John learned to do at a very young age. And then he lay down on his bed, taking in some well needed rest.
"The Feast of Fortuna has begun! Romans! Fight for your lives!" shouted Reyna. Another explosion rocked Camp Jupiter. And then another. And finally the smoke dissipated to reveal a sight too horrible to imagine. The giant Polybotes.
"More! Bring me something worthy of my strength!" He said, dropping a charred helmet.
"I'll take him" said Percy.
"You can't take him! He was born to oppose Neptune." whispered Annabeth.
"Never tell me the odds." said Percy. And with those words, Percy charged off to Polybotes, the giant of the sea.
YAY! I FINALLY UPDATED! WOOOO!
