Me: Hey… Sorry… This chapter was supposed to be for the 9/11 memorial but I couldn't update.

Percy: *Uncaps Riptide and stabs himself*

Me: Percy, what the Tartarus are you doing?

Percy: I miss Athena.

Me: … *Sigh* I know this chapter will help.

A/N: Okay screw the reviews. I'll update whenever I can. Also, can I have just 5 reviews? That way, at least I know people are reading. So this is a 9/11 tribute chapter. Sorry I'm kinda late though. Never really got the chance to update. Anyway, here's the next chapter, "Healing the Love of Wisdom, Part 1". Oh yeah. For the next two chapters, listen to River Flows in You by Yiruma while reading. Don't ask why. There will also be a sneak peak at my next story. The prequel to this one.

Healing the Love of Wisdom, Part 1

Chapter IX

The Burning Sanctum

A/N: Play Clubbed to Death now. Then you can read. Also, please wait until the song ends before going on to part 2.

Percy's PoV:

"First things first, I decided to take Artemis with me to find Athena." I said.

"Why Artemis?" Hades asked.

"Well, because Athena is my bestfriend." Artemis answered.

"Ouch. I thought I was…" Aphrodite stated.

"*Scoff* Dream on Love Slut." Artemis said.

"Okay hush. Now we need one more person. Some one who can manipulate any type of magic." I said.

"How about Hecate?" Zeus asked.

"Hmmm… Maybe. Hecate." I said.

Just then, Hecate appeared with celestial bronze cuffs.

"Why am I here?" She asked.

"I am freeing you so that you may side with the gods of Olympus." I said.

"Why should I?"

"Because Athena is gone. We need your help."

"I think I shouldn't."

"Well, what do you want so that you will side with the gods again."

"A proper throne and a statue here on Olympus."

"That can and will be done." I snapped once more and two servants started to build a new gold throne in the minor gods' throne room. Oh yeah, I had them create a throne room for the minor gods.

"Wait, I want to be leader of the minor gods."

"Non-sense. I'll just make you a minor Olympian. After the quest, choose 5 others, and you will become the Demi-Olympians."

"Hmmm… I like that. Okay I'll help. I hated the Titans anyway. They promised us power. But I overheard Kronos say that we will be thrown into Tartarus after the war. If they won. Luckily they didn't."

"Okay, then we head off. Council dismissed!" I said.

I was in my palace packing up everything I needed. More like thinking of everything I need considering I can make things appear. Just then Artemis walked into my room. She seemed to be looking for something. I closed my eyes and read her emotions. 'Oh great. Bluish-purple. She's horny. Again.' I never really got to react to what happened next because it happened all too fast. I felt something knock me onto the bed and lips crash onto mine. When I opened my eyes, the lights were off and Artemis was on top of me kissing me. When I realized this, I pulled away quickly.

"Artemis? What the fuck was that?" I yelled/asked.

"What? I wanted to kiss you." She said innocently looking down.

"Okay… Well I'd be okay with it if I didn't love Athena." I replied.

"Sorry." She said.

"That's alright. Come on. We have to go check on Hecate."

"Okay."

Just then, Hecate appeared. She was carrying a ball. No. Not a ball, but a crystal skull.

"Hecate, what is that?" I asked.

"Oh this? This is a porting stone. It takes you whenever you're supposed to be to find very important information." She replied.

"Will it help me find Athena?"

"Maybe."

"Okay."

"Everybody gather around the skull." She placed the skull down and we did as we were told. She began chanting in another language. Latin. She said, "Nobis loco sapientiae et ultrices." Since I'm a god now, I have a Roman form so I understand Latin. That means, "Take us to the place of wisdom and important information." The skull began to glow. At first it was a faint golden light. Then blue. Then green. Next red, white, and now it was plasma. The light sucked us all into the skull. When the light faded, we were in a cave. I recognized this place as the Caverns of Time like in the game World of Warcraft. There was a portal spinning. Hecate motioned for us to follow her in there. We walked in and was transported back or forward in time.

We fell out of the sky and landed in Manhatan Park.

"Ouch. What the fuck?"Artemis said.

"Hmm I guess we're in Manhatan Park." Hecate said.

"Yeah but what day is it?"I said.

"I don't know. Let's go look for something.

We started walking to find anything that would tell us what day it was. After walking a few blocks we found a little block calender thing. It said... 'Oh no. No no no no no no NOOOOOO!' Was all I could think.
