Son of Hestia and Hades chapter 11
Last time:
I was enjoying Zeus' open mouth as he tried to form words when i hear Artemis scream "PERSEUS BEHIND YOU!"
Now : Percy's POV
I turned around just to see Ares' enormous sword coming at me. I moved away as fast as I could but he still managed to cut a small on my shoulder. Had Artemis not warned me he surely would have decapitated me. I summoned my spear and my shield and launched a flurry of stabs at the god of war. He was stunned by me reacting so quickly but swiftly overcame his stupor and dodged my attacks before sending a swipe at me. I raised my shield to block and i nearly crumbled from the strength of the blow. During his attack I took my spear and trust it in his leg drawing blood as it pierced it making his capability of movement greatly diminished. He roared in anger and started glowing. I knew he was going to get in his divine form and i knew i had to stop him as it would kill Thalia and Zoë I used my spear as a bat ( I knew that if i killed him Zeus would be even madder at me so I decided not to) I started moving it and He raised his sword in defense and i knew he would counter my attack I was ready to turn away just before a silver arrow hit him in the shoulder stopping his movement and i knocked him out.
Immediately after that I approached Artemis' throne and bowed "Thank you milady without your help I'd be dead right now"
She smiled at me and answered "Consider it as my thank you for carrying the sky and saving me"
"You attacked a member of this honorable council for that you must DIE!" Bellowed the king of the gods before sending his master bolt at me, AGAIN
"Stop it idiot!" Yelled both an angry Hestia and an angry Hades raising a wall of shadow and flames to protect him " Our son is loyal to Olympus and you can't stop a prophecy you damn moron!" At this point all the council was ready to attack Zeus except Ares(who was still unconscious) and Dionysus(too drunk to do anything)
"Fine, fine he'll stay alive now let's get on with all the crap left to deal with before we can enjoy the celebrations"
"Well I believe i have a new huntress to get ?" Asked the hunt goddess with a small smile on her face.
"Yes milady i'd like to take the oath" Answered Thalia.
"Very well then repeat after me please.."
"I have one last thing to ask before the council ends please" I asked
"Humph well get on with it then boy"Answered Zeus with obvious hate in his voice
"I'd like to be allowed to got in the wilderness to train my skills further, i realize that i'm not strong enough yet so i have to train more and i think the best way i can do it is to just go around and train against the most powerful monsters i can find. Plus it will also help protecting the demigods"
"Fine you can do it now i declare this meeting ended let's enjoy the feast !"Finished the drama king.
Line Break (a few months later)
For the last few months i trained in the wilderness and killing everything that I could so when i heard about a large group of monsters here obviously i had to go. I came near the place where i heard it would be when i heard screams of battle I quietly approached in the shadows when i saw the huntresses of Artemis.
"Thalia , Chloe , Mary and Charlotte come with me. The others kill the monsters with your bows come on NOW !" Ordered Zoë
I saw the five huntresses run towards the horde of monsters and the others starting to slowly destroy them with their arrows. While this was happening i wondered where was Artemis when i saw her battling a Titan in golden armor. "Hyperion" I cursed. I was ready to jump in to help the hunters when i saw the lord of the east make a faint and hit the moon goddess. He stood over her ready to impale her when i shadow traveled and started to attack him. As soon as he saw me he raised hi sword to defend himself from my spear and we started to duel. I started to thrust my weapon several time as quickly as i could and hit him with my shield. He defended and we started to fight back and forth like this. I inflected some minor injuries on him and he inflicted some more major on me. It was when i made a mistake and put a bit too much weight on a thrust that he saw an opening and swiped his sword at me. I backed of as quickly as I could and summoned shadows to block the strike. I waited for the pain to come when i heard a loud CLANG. There was one of Artemis' knife blocking him. I used the advantage, dropped my spear and shield and summoned my swords. I then thrust one at his stomach and swung the other at his leg. From the surprise he couldn't parry and he was hit straight on by the two attacks. He screamed in pain just before he took a silver dagger in the head. Artemis looked at me appreciatively for a second before rushing next to her hunters.
I rushed there too and saw Zoë on the ground a cyclope in top of her already swinging his axe towards her. I shadow traveled in front of her shielding her with my body. I screamed in pain and stumbled on the ground. I turned around and gutted the monster before falling on the ground. "The last thing i remember is Zoë's face full of worry yelling "HERE WE NEED HELP "
