Percy's P.O.V

As soon as I sat down, most of the gods flashed away. However, two of them stayed behind. Hestia and… Poseidon. He approached me from the side with sadness in his eyes. I looked at him with anger in mine. "What do you want from me now?" He started with, "Percy," but I interrupted him "save your apologies for someone who gives a damn. You ignore me for most of my life and still I helped you gods out of the jams you put yourselves in." He started to say something again and again I interrupt him. "For once I needed you, needed you to believe in me, needed you to trust me and this is the thanks I get, you send me to hell and then expect me to accept an apology of "oh sorry Percy we just misunderstood"… Bullshit, I trusted you and you should have trusted me. Instead YOU take the word of some pimple faced peckerwood over me." He bowed his head in defeat and started to cry. "Are you crying?" "Really, you're crying like that changes anything?" He then flashed away. I put my head in my hands and started to cry as well. An arm encircled my shoulders, hugging me. I flinched but after a second leaned into it and sobbed. After a couple minutes, I stopped crying and whispered, "Thank you Lady Hestia. I appreciate that you stood by m e." She smiled and said, "It's okay, Percy. I have something to ask of you." I looked at her. "I do not know how much more I have to give my lady, but I will do what I can." She takes a deep breath and says "Will you be my champion?" I look at her stunned, not trusting my voice I nod in agreement. She grinned and held out her hand. An Orange/Red fire appeared. She places her fire-hand on my shoulder, and I flinch, afraid of it burning me. I've had enough burns… There is no burn just a warm glow inside of me and after a few seconds, the fire disappears. "Percy, you will now be able to summon food and fire. Use this to your advantage." She smiled once more and went back to her Hearth. Artemis then appeared beside me "Perseus, it is time for you to come to my camp." I bow my head and in an instant I am in a clearing with bows aimed at me from every angle. I hear Artemis yell, "Don't shoot!" I know it is too late though as I see the arrows were loosened immediately when they see a male in their midst. I hear a voice in my head say, "Use your power of fire." Instinctively I summon a wall of fire (damn that would have been useful in the past) and the arrows disintegrate on impact. From behind the wall of fire I hear, "Kelp Head! Omg it is you?!" I see that it is Thalia running towards me and I brace for impact and it does me no good as I end up on my back and her on top of me smiling from ear to ear. Thalia proceeds to hug me continuously for several minutes until we hear Artemis clear her throat. "If you two are done hugging we have business to attend to." Thalia releases me and gets to her feet offering me her hand. I take the help up and then stare into the faces of women who hate men and know that this won't be easy. Artemis says, "Ladies this is Lady Hestia's newest champion" and she points in my direction. I hear a lot of "What?" and "No, this can't be." Artemis quickly quiets them, "Do you dare disagree with Lady Hestia's Choice?" One of them speak up, "but, he is male" she says in an unbelieving voice. Thalia interjects with, "This is true but I could find no one more trusting to have my back than this man here." A few whispers can be heard saying, "choosing a male over your sisters." Again Thalia starts to speak when Artemis raises her hand and states, "It is done, if you disagree then you are free to leave us forever!"

(A/N: Now for some fun!) Annabeth's P.O.V

Sitting in the sand with Brandon's arm around my waist and my head on his shoulder I feel relaxed and yet I feel like something is not the way it is supposed to be. I look into those sea green eyes and he smirks at me and then leans in to kiss me, as he gets close a light flashes so bright around us, we turn our heads away from it and then it is gone. When I open my eyes my mother is standing in front of us, and man she looks pissed. "Mother" I cry and jump to my feet to greet her. She turns her head towards Brandon and says, "Insect you have three seconds to leave my sight before I turn you into a mollusk and have sea food for dinner." Brandon being his cocky self turns to leave, but not before saying, "I don't know, might not be bad touching your lips too." Athena looks back at me, "You are an idiot, how can a daughter of mine be so smart and yet so stupid at the same time." "I don't know mom, you tell me, you're the one interrupting me and my boyfriend with stupid comments." The next thing I know I'm laying on the ground with a hand print on my cheek. "Child, you obviously have lost all common sense, do you not see what you are doing here?" Rubbing my cheek I yell, "What I'm doing? I was about to kiss the man who loves me until you interrupted us!" "The man who loves you was in Tartarus being tortured by Kronos, the man who loves you bought a ring and was about to propose to you, the man who loved you was Percy Jackson." I shake my head when she says the name, what is going on here, Percy was, is the guy who loves me? I am still confused at this I can't remember anything from the last few days. I only remember Brandon's arm around me. Athena glares at me as if I am lying to her. I say, "I don't know who Percy is and I am sure he doesn't love me." "Child you and Percy have been together for a few years, you have went on quests together, you have saved the world together and you are trying to tell me that you do not remember him?" I look at her dumbfounded, how I could not remember someone whom I supposedly had so much contact with. "You cheated on Percy with his half Brother, Annabeth" She yells at me. Again I look at her in confusion and she looks back and realizes that I am telling the truth. She starts to glow and I turn my head in time as she vanishes. "Percy" I say, his name feels familiar on my lips, but I only remember the sea green eyes of Brandon. I can't make sense of it, I need to ask him about his half-brother Percy and see what he knows. As I race back to his cabin, I bump into Grover, "Do you know who Percy is?" I ask him. Grover looks at me for a second and laughs, "You're joking right?" I punch him in the shoulder, "No I am not joking, I can't remember the last few days, years I don't even know." Grover looks at me and says, "We need to go see Mr. D and Chiron, now." We start heading towards the big house, but on the way we run into Jacob, Son of Iris. "Hey guys, what's going on?" He asks. I swear when I looked in his eyes, I saw a gleam, but it disappeared so quickly, I thought I was hallucinating. Grover furrows his brow in worry and answers, "Um, we were going to Mr. D and Chiron because Annabeth can't seem to remember Percy." He nods and his hand moves. My head is surrounded in mist for a second and then it disappears. Jacob asks, "So, you guys heading to dinner?" We nod and all three of us run off to the dining pavilion.
