N/A: Well, this time is a short chapter. Do not worry, I will update more quickly the next time.
Chapter 7: Departure
Artemis
I wondered if Phobos and Demos really scared her or if she was smart enough to admit the facts even if it took more than an hour to Ares we warn before we set off. Anyway, I have impression that she did more than try to fool everyone by going pretending to be me. And now I was forced to be accompanies by Percy Jackson. He does not seem to be one of those types of men, but I did not want to end up depending on him and the huntress even less.
We do not linger to take the demigods to Camp Half-Blood and met with the six demigods and Rachel together with Chiron, Mr.D and Apollo. Except Mr.D, everyone seemed upset with our information.
"I do not know why I give myself work to come here!" Mr.D complained, reading a wine magazine.
Chiron ignored Mr.D and said:
"It seems that you have to go Lotus-eaters Island across the sea of monsters."
"The island where habitants does eat lotus and lost their memory." Annabeth said firmly.
"But it did not turn Lotus Hotel? Wait, like an island eventually became a hotel? "Percy asked.
"The people who were trapped on the island were sent to that place since the island became a kind of prison over seventy years ago." I said.
"And because the enemies of the gods lead Thalia precisely to a prison made by the gods?" Jason said worried.
I pondered what would be a good answer, but there was not much to hide:
"It's probably a trap and I'm pretty sure it will not be easy."
After a tense moment, Chiron said:
"It's decided, then."
After the meeting finished, I went to my cabin along with Leonora. Suddenly, I saw Percy coming to me:
"Artemis, I would like to talk to you."
"Its better you think twice." Leonora said hostilely.
"All right, I can talk about it alone. Please go to the huntress and inform about our reunion. "
Leonora walked away from us, looking suspiciously at Percy. Then he said:
"What do Ares means about that you are obliged to take me along?"
"When I saved you, I broke the non-aggression covenant. Zeus asked me for stay with you like a punishment."
I had impression that he would speak something like if punbição was for me or for him, but he did not say that.
"Well, I'm sorry." He spoke without emotion, as if trying not to look condescending.
"It's not your fault, after all I did not know Calypso would appear."
"No? I thought you decided everything together. "
"Zeus likes to omit details his plans for everyone."
He seemed a little disappointed. Was he thinking I was stupid because I followed some orders without question?
"Okay, it looks like we'll never have a rest."
"It's not like it was our fault."
"I did not say anything!" He hurried.
Annabeth soon appeared, a little irritated, he said:
"Percy, we have no time! You should say goodbye to your mother in the big house now. "
"So she's here?"
"Yes, apparently she had some problems with the fact that I been missing for several months."
"Do not worry about it, she's safe here." I said.
"At least Mrs. Jackson does not give up the absence of her children. Unlike some mortal parents, but mostly the gods are those who abandon their children. "Annabeth said.
"Do not exaggerate Annabeth; Artemis does not even have children."
"Yes, but you know how it handles the huntress."
I stared at her wanting to attack her, but much like her mother, she seemed to be arrogant and not demostrava no fear. Maybe she was just angry because of Thalia, so I could pass it. I just said:
"If you do not have anything important to tell me, so I'm am going."
I leave them alone, without looking back and went back to my cabin where huntress awaited me. Our main concern now was to rescue Thalia destroy the monsters allies of Gaea. They seemed thwarted, but accepted the fact that they had to remain in the camp.
Later we left the demigods in a bus driven by Argus we took to Long Island. Then we find the ship that Ares had told us to find and barely got close, a ramp down to us.
"Give to the expense." Annabeth said.
I just stared at her for the enormous arrogance, but Frank Zhang spoke hurriedly to her:
"You should not complain, we basically had a raft to go to Alaska because apparently Romans are not very good with the sea."
"In fact they were experienced in maritime trade, otherwise they would not beable to reach the British Isles and North Africa. Who told you otherwise? "I said.
"A stupid augur called Octavian, but it was obvious that he was just making fun of us."
"Of course, but now we'd better go soon."
We walked down a ramp to an opening in the ship's hull. The ship was huge, with over seven to crew cabins where were the machines, both the deck had emergency rafts; there was a landing strip in the center of the ship. And there were skeletons of soldiers who were killed in various battles that took care of the ship with more willpower than some living I had ever seen during my three thousand years of life.
Then we went to ship's wheel, where we find Reyna and Hylla waiting by us.
"She is going to help us or will be taken as prisoners?" Annabeth told me gruffly.
"We will decide this after we left the island and found Thalia."
"I thought you were yet fully protective of women." Hylla said.
"In fact, I am the goddess of maidens and not arrogant women that just hate men." I reply.
"Well, you're right ... I mean, she nearly stabbed me for talking about anythingn." Percy supported me.
While the others were surprised,Hylla glared to Percy as if she were really trying to stab him.I feel happier than I expected to hear his support, but I prefer not to say anything.
"But what about me?" Reyna said.
"I can not do anything for you, at least for now."
"And what should we do now?"
"The ship can now go and you should descanasar because arrive at dawn."
N/A: See you soon,
