OK, and I'm back for chapter 8 of Percy and the Sword of Time! If you didn't read the status update, then I will congratulate notaperson for correctly guessing that the all-seeing eye is from Lord of the Rings (Great series) and I will have another shout-out for the person who can finish the quote that is chapter 1's title. And this is the end of my AN. (still don't own pjo, and never will)

Percy P.O.V.

I was just getting ready to go for a walk with my new friend Achilles, when I was whisked away from the underworld and shot back up to earth. I landed right back into the clearing where I had died. Funny, it seemed time hadn't gone on at all. I looked for the snake, and saw it with a standard mortal hunting arrow in it, however it had a celestial bronze tip. I was about to take a step towards Artemis, when I realized, mostly from the fact that I nearly fell over, that I still was coated in basilisk acid. Then I did fall over. I woke up to being dumped into a river by some very small hunters. "What was That for?" I spluttered. They just giggled and called, "Lady Artemis, we woke him up! Do we get the prize?" Wait, what? Looking down, I realized that they had tried every known way to wake me up, I was covered in; burns, cuts, dents, bruises, charred flesh and, yes, arrows (duh). Artemis walked up and noticing my expression, said "Yes girls, it's in my tent. Run along now." "Yes, Lady Artemis!" they chorused. "So, any ideas why I'm not dead anymore?" "Huh? Percy, are you ok, you never died; someone saved you before you stabbed yourself." "But I did stab myself. I was just about to go jogging with Achilles when I was whisked away back to that clearing." Sadly I was starting to get a bad feeling about whom we had to go to too find out what had really happened.

Time skip: 1 hour

Artemis P.O.V.

After Apollo explained, after I threatened him for 15 minutes, what he had done. After Percy thanked him for his life, I told Percy that we should go back to the hunter's camp. He agreed. I didn't tell him, but I was going to have words with my hunters tonight. Before we left, Apollo healed Percy and told him to not strain himself for a few hours. When we got back, it was dark, and I told Percy to go patrol the area, really to get him a way for a bit, but also to make sure that no monsters sneak up on us again. "Girls," I started, "I'm very disappointed in you. You sent dangerous monsters after my nephew, when you knew he was badly injured with the intent of killing him!" "But they didn't kill him M'Lady!" they protested. "Oh didn't they?" I asked "Because when we went to visit my dear brother, he let it slip that Percy had died, but that his future self-had contacted him and told him to stop Percy from stabbing himself thus killing himself." "But he's a male! He isn't supposed to be with us!" "That doesn't mean that you can kill my nephew! Anyone else, I wouldn't have a problem with, but not him." They had been getting more and more upset the entire time I was talking to them, and now they burst into tears, "We're sorry M'Lady! We just wanted him to leave! You've always told us to hate males, but now there's one in our camp! We were confused and scared, you know how bad males have treated us before!" I nodded my understanding, and the girls pulled themselves together. Just in the nick of time as well, because the next thing I knew, Percy landed next to us, without a sound, and scared us all. I would have reprimanded him, if his laughter hadn't been so contagious! After we calmed down a bit I said, "Percy, the girls have something to say to you," he looked at them surprised. They looked at me and I gave them a stern glare, "We're sorry Percy." They said, albeit reluctantly. He simply nodded his head towards them. I was honestly surprised by his lack of reaction; he simply took the cards as they were dealt to him. I admired this, but was even more surprised by the girl's reactions. They were looking at him with curiosity, and more than a few with awe. Well, I don't think they had a chance with my nephew, as I would make sure that he stayed faithful to his wife. No matter what, I would make sure that my nephew would be the opposite of the rest of the male population. "Well, now that that's out of the way, let's get some rest and relaxation, we move to the African plains tomorrow!" aside from Percy's look of surprise, there was simply a general nod of consent from the hunters.

The next day:

Percy P.O.V.

I woke up to the smell of bacon frying over an open flame. Now, I'm not complaining, I love bacon, but normally, that wouldn't have woken me up. So, looking around for what did, I spotted two of the younger hunters standing in the corner, looking embarrassed beyond belief, I knew why as soon as a breeze came into the tent and I felt it on some things that I shouldn't have. Now blushing furiously myself, I quickly put on some old track pants, and a sleeveless shirt. Casually winking at the girls, I jogged out of my tent, chuckling hugely on their behalf. When Artemis saw my face and my still slightly red face, she did a quick head count and joined me in my mirth.

Holy crap guys! So sorry, I had to weed the yard all weekend and to be honest I totally forgot! Please don't kill me! I'll put this chapter up a.s.a.p.! Now back to the story!

After we calmed down, I asked if I really did smell bacon, after she said yes, I danced like an idiot around the camp singing about bacon. I was so happy about bacon, I didn't see the branch on the ground. After tripping into the fire, yelling for 911, receiving blank looks at the mention of something that didn't exist…yet; I ran and jumped into the nearby pond. Looking down, I yelped in surprised, noticing I was naked, once more. I could live down the embarrassment, but that was my last pair of track pants, now I was stuck to jeans and things like that.

Ok, well that was shorter cuz I wanted to get this chapter to you guys.

Review.
