AN: First of all, I would like to say thank you to all my readers, especially the ones who ask me to continue writing. On a slightly more morose note, I would like to take the time to remember the influential people who have died in the past week or so: David Bowie and Alan Rickman, both aged 69; and Rene Angelil and Dan Haggerty; aged 73.

Percy POV

I did not understand what a 'eunuch' was but from Artemis' tone and sly smile it could not be anything good. I seem to remember Annabeth telling me once that it was to do with castration, but surely milady would not dare. I felt a pang of pain at the thought of Annabeth, I was not going to tell the hunt about her if I could avoid it. They wouldn't believe me anyway.

I immediately started apologising profusely, begging not to be punished too severely, if at all. Artemis watched my pleas for mercy in amusement.

"You will do allthe chores for the next week; these include the laundry, meals, and cleaning to name a few, I will also expect you to socialise with the hunt and make yourself acquainted with all the members.

So as the next few weeks went by I tried to get to know the members of the hunt. TRIED. .They were stubborn as an ophiotaurus and the only one I could talk to really was Thalia, but even she was distancing herself from me. My first time of doing the laundry was disastrous, first I got to the huge pile of clothes, which seemed to be excessively dirty. Then I used my powers to soak them and scrub them clean, it served its purpose, but also caused all the clothes to get tangled into one big pile. After half an hours painstaking work I had finally untangled the clothes and hung them up. I turned around to notice a large pile of lingerie. It did not feel right to wash them so I left them alone. Artemis was fine with this when I told her, in fact she almost seemed, I don't know, is proud the right word?

Pranks were played on me left, right and centre, causing me little distress however, as they did not dare to come close to me as my tent was off-limits as decreed by Artemis unless I gave my explicit instruction or permission for otherwise. One hunter however had overstepped the line though and I was going to find out soon enough...
