The following morning, Percy woke up feeling very excited for the upcoming training, he and Artemis were to train the Elite team. The thought of his and Artemis' relationship rushed through Percy's mind. He was happy that they were together, after all these years they would finally be happy without hiding their secret attraction for one another.
Smiling Percy walked towards the Artemis Cabin, he was sure she was there, unless she had woken up early to go hunting like she usually did. He didn't like the thought of going to her cabin with all her hunters inside, but he wanted to see her again.
He slowly peaked inside the cabin to see if the hunters were there, surprisingly they weren't. Probably out hunting. He slowly opened the door and walked towards the end of the cabin to see Artemis sleeping on her bed, her Auburn hair in her eyes. Percy thought she looked beautiful while sleeping. He slowly sat down on the side of her bed and just watched her, he was awed that someone who was sleeping could be this beautiful. Percy brushed the hair out of her face, he couldn't believe he had someone like Artemis as a girlfriend. Though she was immortal and he wasn't, he had something that would allow him to become an immortal, once this war was over. A few months ago he had to go on a mission, well quest actually. All by himself he was to get a scale of Ladon. It would've helped strengthen the defense at camp, he had managed to do so and noticed some apples which were yellow of course Percy knew it was the apples of Immortality, he had taken one and kept it until after the war. Just in case.
He was planning to use it once the war was over. He didn't want to tell Artemis, he wanted it to be a surprise. Artemis' eye opened slowly, taking in the things surrounding her, she laid her eyes on Percy and her eyes widened. She didn't remember last night with Percy but then remembered they were in a relationship now.
She got up and sat down next to Percy on her bed. Today was the day they would go into public together, and they wouldn't hide from anyone. Artemis kissed Percy on the cheek, "Good Morning Percy," she mumbled.
Percy smiled, "Good morning to you too." Percy kissed her forehead and got up to leave the cabin so she could get dressed.
A few minutes later, Artemis came out dressed in her usual hunting uniform, she usually didn't dress like this while at camp but today they were too train the Elite team so she had too.
Percy grabbed Artemis' hand and closed the door behind her, and reaching up to brush the hair out of her face and behind her ear. He leaned in and pecked her on the lips before moving his arm and putting it around her waist.
The two started walking towards the Mess Hall, the hunters were still in the woods hunting for some monsters and most of the campers were still asleep. Artemis was sure Apollo wasn't here since his duty over the Sun, she was glad for that. The very few campers who were outside stared awestruck at them, they were surprised that the two had gotten together, after all they thought Artemis hated men.
Once the campers saw Percy's hand around Artemis' waist, they now confirmed they were a "thing" now. At least the Aphrodite campers weren't outside, the news would spread like wild fire. Only campers outside were The Demeter campers who usually got up and the Athena campers, Annabeth wasn't one of them, she was probably reading a book or something on Architecture.
The two reached the Mess Hall and quickly ate at the Artemis table, wanting to be finished with Breakfast before the campers would wake up. About twenty minutes later, they finished breakfast and walked out to see much more campers awake already, some training with wooden swords and others just talking, most stopped talking and stared at the direction where Percy and Artemis walked out of.
They saw Percy's arm around Artemis' waist, just like the ones before did. They were sure by the time training started for everyone it would already be heard by everyone, even the Gods.
An hour later Percy and Artemis was already at the Arena, slowly the Elite team filled In one by one. First of course Annabeth then followed by Thalia and Nico, and so on.
"Today we will be training on Archery." Artemis told them. She had let go of Percy's hand when she had taken out her bow and arrows. The Elite team didn't seem to notice anything between them. Yet.
Mostly all of the elite team knew how to do Archery except for Nico. He was just horrible at it, not like Percy was when he was Nico's age but still horrible. Nico had gotten better over the year, but not much.
Percy continued, "I know some of you, or most of you know how to do Archery, but today we'll be trying something new instead of just shooting at the targets in front of you."
"You'll be shooting aquatic figures Percy will make." Artemis told them, looking at Percy who agreed, Percy was just an inch or two taller than her.
"Well what's the hard part? Instead of shooting targets we'll be shooting figures that don't move either." Thalia stated.
"Oh trust me, it's not that easy Thalia, these figures will be very much alive and moving at all times, oh and did I forget to mention you'll be trying to shoot them while you're up in the trees, now start climbing." Artemis instructed.
Groaning the campers, started the hard part, climbing the trees. Percy focused and used his water powers to create some figures out of water. They would be like automations. It would be very hard for the Elite team to take them down. Just maybe Percy thought, just maybe they could do it.
Percy and Artemis walked away and sat down on the ground, they had moved out of the arena and in towards the woods.
Percy leaned his back against a tree and Artemis sat between his legs, the Demi-gods didn't notice as they were busy with the tree climbing, most had gotten on already or were half were up. Percy ran a hand through Artemis' hair and put his chin on her shoulder. Artemis shifted her head a little to look into Percy's eyes. Silver to Sea Green again. The connection between them were growing every day, and even stronger. They were now experiencing love. An arrow whizzed past Artemis' ear and impaled straight into a tree, Percy and Artemis looked up to see who it was from. Annabeth and Thalia, were staring at the couple with wide eyes, Annabeth had a look of jealously on her face while Thalia looked both mad and interested that they had gotten together. Annabeth was jealous because over the year she had somewhat became friends with Percy, she wasn't friends with him but Percy didn't hate her, she kind of liked him after a while, looks like Percy wouldn't be returning her feelings after all.
All motion stopped, the elite team had somehow defeated the water figures, All the Demi-gods were climbing down from the trees and they slowly walked over to where Percy and Artemis were. They were awestruck just like the others. Percy and Artemis stood up but while holding hands still.
Percy grinned at their faces while they watched their connection hands. Artemis was ready to take on this pressure, she knew she wanted to be with Percy as love as he lived.
Thalia spoke up first, "So you guys are together?"
