And I sincerely apologize for being a a #hole and not saying anything about a hiatus. Hope you enjoy the chapter, and yea that's it.
Chapter 9
Eyes flutter open. Said eyes trail the inside of the room, where the body they belong to was currently in. Gold. The walls were gold, the floor was gold, even the ceiling was gold. Ears caught the sound of the soft beeping of a machine. A tube stretches from a right arm to a plastic bag filled with clear liquid. This liquid looks almost like liquid diamond, whenever light would hit it at an angle various colors would shine brilliantly.
Groaning loudly the person tried to get off from a comfortable bed. Pain suddenly floods the nerves, the person falls back into the bed almost crying. Why does it hurt so much? What happened? Pain erupted once again making the person almost fall out of the bed.
Flashbacks suddenly assaults person's mind. Anger and pain, but most of it was an intense fear. The person shook as a terrifying feeling took over. Tears spill from two silver orbs, the tears fall onto the white sheets wetting then slightly. The person pulls the sheets off then gets off the beds. Walking towards a mirror on the left side of the room the women gets a good look of herself.
Bruises painted her body blue and purple. There were bandages in places where if she moved a wrong way the wounds they cover would open. Her sliver eyes were bloodshot, her auburn hair was burnt on some parts from the electricity that almost shocked her to death. The women remembers the intense feeling of the heat from the electricity and shivers.
She wraps her arms around herself in a protective manner. The silver parka she was wearing before was now useless. Even with the enchantments the Goddess Hecate had put on it, the parka had still been destroyed. Another series of memories flooded her brain.
The women remembers the deep bronze colored eyes of her attacker. Those eyes that bore into her mind. The women started to hyperventilate, she fell to her knees and hugged her knees close to her chest. She could see a hand come closer to her face, the women was very scared. Even more tears flow out from her eyes.
The hand is inches away, her breathing becomes even more erratic. "Artemis! Artemis! What's wrong." Two strong arms shake the Goddess. A nice warm feeling washes over the Goddess' body calming her down. She eventual stops shaking, her breathing also becomes stable. Without any hesitation Artemis wraps her arms around the person who had stopped her panic attack.
After a few minutes she lets whoever she was hugging go. Wiping her tears she looks up at the person she had embraced. "Sorry, I don't know what got over me." Blue eyes with specks of gold in them stare at her. The God's chest clenches almost painfully so, seeing Artemis like this made him emotional.
"Apollo, how are my hunters?" The sun God could almost cry, even when she was in pain she still worried about her hunters. Apollo grabs her shoulders and slowly pulls her up to her feet. The Goddesses' legs wobble a bit before they stabilize on the gold floor. Then he guides her to her bed, he holds her as she sits on the comfortable mattress.
"Your hunters are fine Artemis, they are still inside your temple probably sleeping."
Artemis was about to get up, but her brothers strong hands hold her down. "I'm sorry Artemis, but you need to rest." Artemis wants to protest, though seconds later she sighs in defeat. Slumping her shoulders she lays back down on the bed. Apollo sighs in relief, he knew his sister was very stubborn so it came as a suprise that she was persuaded that fast.
"Artemis, how are you feeling?"
"I feel like shit." Artemis instantly covers her mouth, she wasn't a fan of swearing but somehow that particular word had got loose. "I feel really bad, I mean." The Goddess looks down. Her body is still aching and there was a soft but annoying pounding in her head. Artemis stacks some pillows then sits up and lets her body lean on them. She looks at her brother, his eyes bothered her because they were filled to the brim with worry. The Goddess looks away trying to avoid the sun God's gaze.
"I'm sorry." Artemis was taken back by his words. She didn't understand why he was sorry. None of what has happened was his fault, so why? Artemis turns around to look at her brother. The look on his face was different than she had seen before, his face was scrunched up in anger and he was glaring at the ground. He was clenching his hands loosening and tightening his grip many times.
Artemis puts her hand on his shoulder. It was weird to admit it for Artemis but she knows she loves her brother. Even though he can be annoying and a huge man whore Apollo was always protective of her. It was sort of sweet in a sort of way for Artemis, she appreciates his protectiveness even though it got bothersome sometimes. "It's alright now Apollo, I know you're mad at the mortal. But next time I'll make him pay, the stupid male WILL die by my hand."
Apollo stares at his sister. He thinks about her words for a few seconds, he was scared. Scared that the same thing would happen again, that she would be beaten almost to death and this time no one would be there to help her. Apollo decided that he wouldn't let that happen he would rather die then let his sister get hurt that much again.
"Alright little sis, but call for me whenever you need help ok?"
Artemis nods her head. Apollo then grins at her, the Goddess shivers. That grin. It reminds her of the one the human wore when he completly decimated her. The God walks out of the room not noticing her discomfort. The Goddess grabs one of the pillows behind her and hugs it tightly. Artemis was angry, completly so. She had never been so humiliated in her life. A mortal and a male at that almost killed her with his bare hands. Tears spill from her eyes, she curses in Ancient Greek before she lays back down on her bed.
The Goddess was still tired, Gods didn't need sleep but she decides she needs a nap. Her eyes close then she slips into a dreamless sleep.
Apollo pushes two golden doors open. He rushes inside a huge room, white shiny marble decorates the ground, Imperial Gold covers the ceiling of the the room. Pillars of white marble and Divine Silver are near the four corners of the room. "What the Hades happened back there!" Apollo yelled.
The whole Olympian council was present, they are all now staring at the sun God. "How did we lose her then all of a sudden we see her beaten to the brink of death? Someone explain this to me!" Apollo's form began to flicker, he was losing control of his divine form. His aura started to crack the marble under his feet. The magically enchanted stone started to fix itself just as fast as it broke.
"Apollo, I am furious as but I can't let it gain control over me! Now stop acting like a child and sit on throne we have a meeting to start!" Zeus slams his master bolt on the marble floor cracking it slightly.
Apollo slowly calms down, then he walks up to his throne. He grows to his godly height and sits on his solid gold chair. "Well go ahead don't wait for me." Apollo crosses his hands over his chest and begins to stare at the ceiling.
"Meeting now in session." All fourteen Olympians sit up straight waiting for Zeus to continue. As always Aphrodite and Dionysus were somewhere in their own world. Aphrodite was doing her nails humming a soft tune to herself. Dionysus had a newspaper covering his face while snoring loudly. Zeus looks at both immortals then sighs dejectedly. There would be no point in waking them up, in the matter at hand they would have no use.
"Athena what happened? Why couldn't we see Artemis after the mortal introduced himself?"
Athena looks down at her feet. I literally have no ideas. I know of no way to shield oneself from an Iris message like how the human managed to do. The human, he completly humiliated me. Never in my immortal life has that happened before, I swear I wil kill him if it's the last thing I do. Kill...kill...kill!
"Athena! Are you paying attention?"
Said goddess is shaken out of her thoughts by her father's voice. Athena mutters a small sorry which no one really hears. Athena then clears her throat and proceeds to give her opinion on the matter.
"There are many ways someone could conceal oneself from the an Iris Message, either using magic or becoming invisible. Of course the second one sounds illogical, but seeing as this mortal can control electricity and move things with his mind then there is a possibility that he can become invisible as well. Taking that into consideration I propose that we send the Immortal Heroes to track this mortal down."
The council stays quite for a few seconds. The plan that was mentioned by Athena was a bit of overkill. Even if the human managed to incapacitate two Olympian Goddesses the force equivalent to all of the Heroes put together was fun our Olympians. Which meant that there was a possibility that the human would be killed if he confronted all of the Heroes. They just didn't know that half of what Athena said was a lie. They would go with what she said though due to her being the Goddess of Wisdom.
"I oppose this plan."
Hestia. The most level headed and kindest Olympian speaks up loudly. All eyes navigate her way, most of the Olympians weren't suprised that she was the one that defied the plan. The Goddess was the eldest daughter of Rhea and Kronos making her extremely wise. Maybe even more so than the Goddess of Wisdom herself.
"We are the ones who caused this. Due to our paranoia that was caused by the last two wars the council simply votes on life or death verdicts. We do not stop and think about observing or trying to come up with a better result, the human was confronted by Artemis, was attacked then fought back as would anyone else in that situation. Due not misunderstand me I care deeply for my niece and I most of you do to, but to ask for revenge on a human is degrading for us Olympians. We are Gods above else and we cannot let our emotions get the best of us. Plus that human looks like he was in his teen, which means he's been living among humans without causing any type of strange disturbance. Even before we found that giant crater have we been notified of any strange occurrence? No, so we should just leave this human alone and not try to provoke him. He is strong and it would be wise not to make him an enemy."
The majority of the Olympian's reflect on what the Goddess had said. Yes, they did sent out Artemsi. And yes, it was due to them believing that every little thing could cause a large war that made them take the decision to eliminate any potential threat. That includes the human even if he had no direct ties to the supernatural world.
"He is already an enemy." This time Hephaestus spoke out. It was rare for him to even utter a word during these kinds of meetings. He was more of a talk-less-more-action type of guys, even if the only action he would do is forge weapons. The God was indifferent on most matter and most people, him voicing his thoughts has only happened a handful of times.
"I understand your views Hestia but this boy is already an enemy. The way he sniffed Athena's hair and had that satisfying look on his face that meant he would remember her scent like some type of wolf that remembers their preys smell.. Plus what reasons does he have not to be our enemy. We've attacked him, insulted him, and tried to restrain him. I would be suprised if he doesn't hold some type of hate towards us that would make him want to attack us head on. So saying that, I believe we should eliminate him before something worse happens."
The smith God went back to tinkering with a smallpiece of metal. Hestia could only sigh dejectedly as she found no flaw in his reason. Well maybe the fact that maybe the boy had some type of hair fetish and that's what made him smell Athena's hair, other then that Hepheastus was right.
"I believe this is the best planner will come up with. All in favor of hunting down he human?"
Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Athena, Apollo, Hepheastus, and Demeter all raised their hands. Demeter comments that the mortal probably didn't eat enough cereal that's why he was evil. Apollo and Athena held hate towards the boy so of course they would vote towards his impending doom. The motion was passed as Zues slams his bolt on the floor declaring it approved.
"Hermes go get the demigods. I don't care what they're doing you bring them here now."
In a golden flash said God disappears. Milliseconds turn into seconds, suddenly the room is brightened up by a light. Hermes' divine form dies down revealing two people. Annabeth Chase daughter of Athena, and architect of Olympus. The other one was the most famous demigod of the century. Elijah Armstrong son of Poseidon. He was the retriever of the Golden Fleece, bane of Hyperion, winner of a duel against Ares among other things. The pompous sea spawn was hated just as much as he was liked.
Athena narrows her eyes at the couple. Something was amiss, she could tell with her keen sense of sight. Annabeth had a small tinge of pink on her cheeks, the boy had a red spot on the left side of his neck. Both had small drops of sweat running down their foreheads as if they had done some kind of physical activity. Athena hit and epiphany, they had been making love it seems and Athena wasn't happy about those. The stupid son of Poseidon had tainted her daughter which was unacceptable.
Elijah's eyes skim by the immortals until he meets with Athena's. His eyes widen as he catches a glimpse of an image of an enraged goddess. From across the room he could feel her practically murdering him ten times over. Almost instantly he averts his eyes, with a cold sweat running down his back.
Annabeth touches her boyfriend's shoulder worried about the strange behorior he was exhibiting. The boy is shook out of his fear, he turns around and gives his lover a sheepish smile. Knuckles become white as Athena grips her throne with a inhuman strength. She watches as the boy interlaces his hand with her precious daughter's. Oh what she wouldn't give to end his miserable life.
Athena notices her godly power start to spill out. Stares from the other immortals make her regain her composure. The Goddess averts her gaze in an attempt not to let her anger get the best of her once again.
With another flash of light Hermes enters the throne room. Another couple this one made up of two more children of Olympian Gods come into view. Piper McLean daughter of Aphrodite and wielder of the blade Katropis. To her side was Jason Grace son of Jupiter, the demigod to topple the black throne and another hero of Olympus. The two demigods walk up to their compatriots and start up a conversation.
"Hey do you know what's up with this meeting?" The son of Jupiter said as he gave Elijah a handshake. Annabeth and Piper hug each other then walk back to their respective boyfriend's sides. Annabeth is thinking up ideas in her head while her boyfriend is just standing there with a cocky look on his face.
"Obviously they want to award me some type of huge present because of my accomplishments." Piper raises an eyebrow at the son of Poseidon in a "are you serious" manner. Jason on the other hand tries hard not to burst out laughing. Him and Elijah had a rivalry from the very beginning. Elijah was stronger than Jason, but in terms of leadership and unity the Roman excelled much farther than the son of Poseidon could.
"Don't let your accomplishments get to your hiead Armstrong. You're still miles behind me in terms of being able to handle an army or anything of the sort."
Elijah grins at the boy before he reaches for something inside his pocket. Jason just as fast takes out a gold coin from his chest pocket. Both are sizing each other up, Piper nervously laughs next to her boyfriend. Before anything could happen the daughter of Athena steps in. "Calm down guys, you can soar after this. Don't make yourself look bad in front of the council."
The two males scoff slightly before putting what they had in their hands back into their pockets. Annabeth sighs, she had managed to calm them down which was fest few could accomplish. Maybe she could call her self "Annabeth Chase Mediator of Olympus"? Abruptly there was a slight heat wave followed by a gold light. Hermes had brought more of the heroes to Olympus as instructed.
Out of the light two people appear. Thalia Grace daughter of Zeus and Lieutenant of the Hunt. Next to her was Reyna Avila Ramirez-Arellano daughter of Bellona, and Praetor of New Rome. The lieutenant and Reyna both turn to look at the demigods that had arrived before them. A large scowl forms on Reyna's face. While Thalia smiles brightly at her best friend and brother. The daughter of Bellona did not like that group of demigods at all. She hated how Jason left his position for a daughter of the slut Goddess. Furthermore that girl was one who used her "looks" to get people to pity her and take her side.
Then there was the two most pompous and annoying demigods on the face of the earth according to Reyna. The daughter of Athena thought she knew everything and the sea spawn thought he was entitled to be respected by everyone. It was quite pathetic to Reyna, how the rest of the demigods actually went along with glorifying the so called hero. Reyna turns around and walks towards a pillar before leaning on it.
Thalia waves at her friends then starts to walk towards them. In the corner of her eye she catches something peculiar, her mistress isn't in the meeting. The girl starts to wonder why that is. Did something happen to her while she was on her hunt? Hundreds of scenarios start to run through the Lieutenant's brain. Suddenly she starts to get very anxious, in her head she wasn't to desperately see her mistress. The girl hadn't even noticed that she was in front of her friends staring at something in front of her with a blank expression. Somebody snaps her out of her thoughts, literally. The sound of the snap makes Thalia focus back into the present as she sighs dejectedly.
The others began to talk while Annabeth starts to question Thalia. "Hey Thals are you ok? You were zoned out for quite a bit of time. Is something bothering you?" Thalia metally sighs, it was a pain sometimes when Annabeth got like this. The girl was extremely perceptive, somehow she was dense when it came to sarcasm. So Thalia's plan was to be sarcastic.
"Whatever could you mean? It's not like you've been here for quite a bit and you didn't even send me a IM."
"But I was here, I apologize however Its just that I was caught up talking to Jason and Piper." Before Thalia could say anything an arm slithers around Annabeth's shoulder. Thalia looks at the owner of the arm and sees the son of Poseidon with his trademark cocky grin. "Don't blame her pinecone face, it's just that activating an IM is so boring."
Thalia could feel her eyebrow twitch, her instincts made her almost touch her silver bracelet which was just a compact form of her bow. He was annoying. Thalia only put up with the son of Poseidon because he was dating Annabeth. The male had good sides to him, he was strong, his swordsmanship was top notch and he took care of Thalia's best friend. What irks her to no end is that overconfident demeanor he carries around him like a puppy with a new bone. Alas she didn't want to cause problems for her friend so there were times that she would have to be overly friendly. Like now for instance.
"Yeah that makes sense." Thalia said while having a sickly sweet smile in her face. Annabeth returns it, but Elijah merely turns back around to talk once more with Jason. Annabeth starts to asks questions about the hunt and their numbers. Everyone knew after the Giant War their numbers had significantly dwindled down to just a handful. Thalia tells her friend that The Hunt was still small but was steadily growing. Due to their win over Gaea many monsters stayed in the shadows allowing for the younger demigods to not figure out they were half-bloods until they were much older. Which meant fewer recruits. However that was also a good thing since they wouldn't need to train children for death battles.
They finish their talk just in time to see something move in the shadows behind the pillar Reyna was leaning on. The shadows warp then start to form a human figure. Light shines on the figure as it steps into the Olympian's line of sight. Dressed all in black and standing like some type of statue was Nico Di Angelo son of Hades. The demigods sighs loudly, he notices his dad staring at him with a stern expression. Damn I'm late. Oh well nothing to do now but wait and see what's the deal now. His eyes move to his left. Reyna casually waves at him and says,"yo." He does the same before standing just a few feet away from the girl.
Thalia smirks at the goth boy. He hadn't changed in her eyes, being the same anti-social kid he was when she met him. Thalia notices that the son of Poseidon starts to walk away from their small group. Oh no, this wasn't good. She needed to stop the idiotic demigod before Nico does something rash.
Elijah stops just a foot away from Nico. The goth boy locks eyes with the pompous male, Nico grits his teeth trying to restrain himself. He couldn't cut the "Hero of Olympus'" head here, it would spark an outrage that would ultimately lead to his death. "How's it going Nico? Have you seen your sister lately." The male was crossing the line. Nico's eyes were narrowed and had almost an evil fire burning in them.
"Oh wait I forgot she left you and chose reb-" Without a seconds hesitation Nico had drawn his blade and pressed it against Elijah's necks. Nico was just itching to cut off his head, one more word out of his mouth would be enough to tip him off the edge. Elijah's cocky smirk didn't disappear it was quite the opposite; his grin grows and angers Nico even mores. The goth kid's blade cuts into Elijah's skin making him bleed. A small stream of blood flows down the sea spawn's neck and into his shirt. At that moment Zeus decides to interfere, he can't have one hero kill another. But as soon as his mouth opens a certain Olympian speaks loudly.
"Nico!" Hades' voice rings in the demigod's ears. Said demigod turns his head and looks at his father. His hands shake, he was so close just one flick of his wrist and he would end it. But his father's expression told him it would not do him any good. Hesitantly the boy lowers his sword and puts it back into his sheath. "I knew you didn't have the balls to do it Nico." Elijah was gong to say more but was stopped by a fist colliding with his nose. Reyna clenches her fist as she breaths heavily. It took all her will power to not bash the demigod's face in.
"Only scum talk about the deceased like that. However you are worse than scum so that's why I won't take the time of day to beat you senselessly." Annabeth quickly runs to her boyfriend's side, before she lifts her lover off the ground she glares at Reyna. The daughter of Bellona smirks at the othe girl as if if daring her to do something. Annabeth was not stupid enough to try to fight Reyna. If there was anyone she would avoid fighting it would be her, the battle prowess she possessed was on par with Elijah's. Plus due to her being a child of a Goddess of War meant she could easily adjust during battle.
"Bitch."
Reyna chuckled a bit. "Whore."
Annabeth bites her lip before taking her boyfriend back with the rest of the group. Most of the people in the throne room knew about the tension between Nico and Elijah. Although they didn't imagine it was to the extent that Nico would kill him. There were only two people that knew why this was. Grover Underwood and Annabeth had been there when the whole thing started.
Piper nervously plays with her hands as she watches Annabeth bring her boyfriend back. The girl was somewhat scared of Nico, the way he scowled at everyone and smelled like death was enough to have anyone on edge. Piper thinks it would be better if they would just leave Nico alone. It was quite obvious he wanted nothing to do with Annabeth or Elijah so why would the sea spawn to antagonize him? The daughter of Aphrodite definitely didn't want to have a confrontation with Reyna. Since her and Nico are "buddies" there was a large chance she would step in for him just like what happened seconds ago. Even if she dislikes the daughter of Bellona didn't mean she wanted to start a fight with her.
Annabeth stops right in front of Piper with a large scowl on her face. She and her boyfriend had just been humiliated in front of the Olympian council. This would not slide, not in the slightest. Annabeth was already coming up with ideas to get back at both Nico and Reyna. She wanted to get back Reyna ten fold; since she tired to get Elijah kicked out of New Rome, before he was a legionnaire.
"Hey you alright?" Jason asks the sea spawn. Elijah grins at the male before he stands upright and brushes some nonexistent dirt off his shirt. Jason sighs. He knew it was a bad idea to have both Nico and Elijah in the same room. He had noticed their hate for each other ever since the award ceremony after the Giant War. Jason just didn't know what was behind it, nor did he want to know. They were the Immortal Heroes of Olympus, they needed to stick together according to him. If they didn't then how would they be able to protect Olympus?
"Next time I'm gong to beat that little bitch to the ground." Elijah cracks his fingers and glares at the goth boy. Jason could only sigh once again. There was no stopping Elijah when he got an idea, he either would go through with it or die trying. Most of the times his hardheaded plans worked, but when they didn't the outcomes were very bad.
With another flash of light the last of the heroes have arrived. Hermes grew to his godly height and sits on his throne. Said God takes out his phone and begins to check on the progress of his deliveries. Everyone though has focused on the last three of the heroes.
Frank Zhang son of Mars and legacy of Neptune did a small bow before standing at attention. Hazel Levesque who was a daughter of Pluto, was at his right side holding his hand. The last demigod was Leo son Hephaestus and fire user.
The trio walk up to Elijah's group. "Hey what's going on guys? Why are we all gathered? Is it another threat? Or are we going to get some type of present? Or maybe we'll go hunt some big scary monster? How about-" Leo was suddenly interrupted by a fist to the head. The fire user groans before rubbing his head softly. Thalia pulls back her fist, it was a necessary evil she thought. If it wasn't for her the boy would talk his head off or until the rest of the group tapped his mouth shut. Either way it was a full proof solution to his constant rambling.
Hazel and Frank exchange pleasantries with their fiends then turn to the Olympian council. They were the last ones here so it was obvious the meeting would start immediately. "Ahem! We have gathered you all here today to give you a certain assignment." Zeus said loudly.
"Yesterday Artemis came into contact with an extremely powerful human. The human managed to injure and incapacitate my daughter through dirty tricks. However when we tried to capture him he used some type of lighting type ability to leave Athena incapable of fighting."
It came as a surprise to all of the demigods present that a mortal could harm two Olympians. This was no ordinary human no doubt, even so the demigods thought it impossible for a human to be that strong. Taking out two Olympians was on par with Elijah on his best, when he had the Achilles curse. Despite being remotely that strong the human would have trouble fending off against magic or a God's divine form.
Thalia's knuckles went white, the thought of her mistress being injured infuriated her. How could the Olympians let this happen? Weren't they suppose to protect her when she needed help? Although that was the case, there was still the factor of the arrogant side of the God's. Just because they were immortal they believed themselves invincible. Even after defeating Titans, beings that used to have greater power than them, they still believed they would stay on top.
Thalia's eyes make contact with Apollo's. There is a hidden message that Apollo gives her in those brief seconds. The girl nods her head before turning to look at her father once more. Thoughts of the other two hunters run through the daughter of Zeus' head. She didn't know if they were dead or alive which fills her with even more worry and sadness.
"The human uses some type of ability to read minds. We don't know if it's by contact or if he needs to just be within sight. What we do know is that he is extremely physically strong, as well as being very agile. He can also move objects with what seemed with his mind but that is just speculation."
Most of what Zeus said was speculation. They did not know whether the superhuman could move things with his mind. Nor did they know anything further than what they had seen briefly from the Iris Message. Yes, they did know the boy was fast and strong. Although they did not know to what extent. That's why Zeus had to explicitly say that the superhuman was extremely strong, he wants to avoid the demigods getting too confident and dying because of it.
"I want all of you to split into groups, I know you are not an odd number however I don't want anyone to pursue this human alone. It would be a shame to lose one of the heroes due to arrogance."
It was hypocritical of the God to say this. Arrogance was what brought this, if they had just left the superhuman alone all of what had happened could've been avoided. Unfortunately Zeus' anger and arrogance made him believe that somehow the heroes would kill this human. With the added bonus of recovering the honor Olympus had lost.
"Meeting dismissed."
The demigods begin to walk out of the throne room. A single person stays behind, Thalia waits until all of the immortals had flashed out to talk with Apollo. "Apollo how is lady Artemis?" Thalia's words are filled with emotion. The sun God could tell that the girl was anxious to see his sister. He wasted no time in flashing her into his infirmary, both of them were stading in front of a wooden door. Without hesitating Thalia throws the door open and rushes inside, what she sees makes her blood boil. Her mistress was lying in bed with bandages covering her body. Thalia could see small bruises here and there on the Goddess. What made her even more furious was the painful look on her mistress' face while she slept. At first the demigod wondered why the nectar and ambrosia weren't healing her right away. But remembering one thing that an Apollo camper once said she knew that Artemis fought someone with all her strength. Her godly energy was depleted to the point she couldn't even properly heal herself, which meant her opponent was not someone to be trifled with.
"Was it the human who did this to her?" Apollo could see his half sister start to shake with anger. He knew that she would go to the ends of the Earth to find who did this to Artemis. It worried him, because there was chance she would end up in a worst state than his sister. Or even worst, dead.
"Yes, but Thalia listen to me our father didn't tell you the whole story. This human, he isn't someone you want to fight. He's not an overconfident opponent you can outsmart. No, he is far more intelligent than he seemed. The way he was able to take down both Athena and Artemis showed he is willing to oppose strong beings."
Thalia nods her head. However the things that Apollo had just said went through one ear and out the other. Her mind was set on finding the human and beating him to a bloody pulp. If that meant her being injured just like her mistress then it didn't matter. She would see this thing through to the end. The girl caresses Artemis' head before asking the sun God to teleport her to Camp Half-blood. Within seconds they are inside the camp, Apollo gave Thalia one more warning before flashing away.
The girl ran quickly towards the cabins. Thalia passes by most of the cabins and stops right in front of the the gloomiest one. Knocking three times she blasts the door open before walking inside. The first thing that catches her eye is Nico laying on one of the best playing a game on his handheld device. Said demigod could feel her glare almost trying to roast him alive, but h made no effort to look up at Thalia. The daughter of Zeus then turns around and locks eyes with Reyna. It wasn't a surprise that they were together, considering their mutual hate for Elijah and Annabeth they wouldn't team up with anyone who included them. Through process of elimination Thalia concludes that Jason, Piper, Elijah, and Annabeth had teamed up. While the rest aside from Reyna and Nico had grouped together.
Reyna looks away from the daughter of Zeus. It was uncomfortable enough to be inside a boy's room by herself. Add the strange staring from Thalia and you had made te most awkward situation Reyna had been in. She looks at Nico still engrossed in his game and glares at him. She knows that her glaring wouldn't do much effect but she wants him to at least look her way. Her eyes move back to Thalia just in time to see her accumulate electricity in her right hand. Discreetly the girl walks up to Nico and touches his shoulder. In mere seconds the charge flows into the goth boy's body. The electricity was powerful enough to make his came explode ending Nico's game.
"Thalia what the Hades!"
Nico shakes as the electricity passes through his body. After a few seconds he stops twitching, he rapidly gets up and glares at Thalia. The female demigod bursts out laughing while pointing at the boy. "You should've seen your f-face! Oh Gods that was priceless!" Nico growls, then he flicks Thalia's forehead rather strongly.
Before Thalia can retaliate Nico holds up a white cloth in front of her face. The daughter of Zeus looks at it strangely. "This right here is a piece of clothing from the human. We're going to use our house trained hellhound to track him down." A huge smirk forms on Thalia's face, she snatches the cloth and proceeds to run out of the room. She stops just a few steps outside the door and turns around.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go catch us a mortal."
