Percy POV

After the meeting on Olympus Artemis and I flashed to the woods near Camp Jupiter. Once there Artemis changed to her Roman form; her face grew sterner and her clothes changed to a purple toga.

I smiled at her and offered her my arm.

"Shall we, Diana?" I asked, smiling at her. She may have changed a bit, but to me she was still as beautiful as always.

To my surprise she didn`t hesitate to take my arm and smile at me, some of the sternness leaving her face and her posture relaxing a little. Now let me explain; I said I was surprised because as much as Artemis and Diana are one and the same, at the same time they are different. Artemis is more open and relaxed while Diana is less trusting and sterner so I was surprised when she trusted me again so easily.

I smiled, that act showed me how much I mean to her and I will do the same.

We started walking towards the camp, talking about anything and everything or sometimes just walking in silence enjoying each other`s company.

When we arrived to the camp the entrance was guarded by two Demigods. One was an Asian kid (AN: I mean no disrespect by that) that had a bow at hand, a quiver with arrows on his back and a small Imperial Gold dagger strapped to his chest; the other was a girl with pale skin and black eyes, she was armed with a spatha which is a long cavalry sword and also an Imperial Gold dagger strapped to her waist.

We were close enough that they could see us but quite enough for them to recognize us, so they boy raised his bow and knocked an arrow while the girl grabbed her sword. Her grip was a tad too strong and I made a mental note to correct that later.

I felt Diana tense a little beside me as we approached the door so I put my arm around her waist and she relaxed a little. I smiled; I had a surprise for her latter.

"Lower your weapons demigods, we are not your enemies" Diana said.

As soon as she spoke the two demigods recognized her and bowed low but couldn`t quite hide the surprise in their faces at seeing her with me or more specifically with my arm around her waist.

"Lady Diana, it is a great honor for us to have you here but may I ask why are you here and who is that man?" The girl asked while the boy just kept quiet. I chuckled at that.

Diana merely nodded at her and said that my identity will be reveled later. After that the girl and the boy, we learned their names were Hazel and Frank, lead as to the principia to meet the Preators.

On the way there all the demigods bowed to Diana while looking at me with suspicion in their eyes as well as surprise to see her with a man.

When we finally meet the Preators they led us to a more secluded place so we could talk privately. They took seats in front of us and we sat on a couch, I still didn`t break my embrace.

"Lady Diana, you honor us by being here at camp. My name is Reyna Milan, daughter of Bellona and this is my colleague Jason Grace, son of Jupiter" Reyna and Jason bowed to her and then looked at me.

"May I ask who are you? And why are you hugging Lady Diana? Hasn`t she sworn off the company of men?" Jason foolishly asked

Diana tensed again and before I could react, she had her hunting knives to the boy`s throat. I calmly stood up behind her and with my right hand removed her hunting knifes from Jason`s throat while I wrapped my left arm around her waist and gently pulled her and myself back in the couch. I glared at the boy and changed my eyes to red. He flinched.

"He is hugging me because he is my boyfriend boy" Diana said glaring at the now gaping son of Jupiter who looked ready to faint. Reyna wasn`t behind either, her jaw was on the floor and I was having trouble hiding my laugh.

"Now, before you start with your questions demigods, allow me to introduce myself, I am Perseus; son of Chaos and Peacekeeper. I was sent here by my mother to help all of you" I said.

As soon as they understood what I had said they dropped to a low bow. Jason started apologizing for prying but Diana and I merely dismissed his apology with a wave of hands. After the things got a little calmer Reyna asked the question that we knew it was coming.

"You said that you were sent here by your mother to help us but to help us against what my Lord? There are no suspicious activities that we know of" She asked.

I sighed; this will be a whole mess to explain.

"Well… Are you familiar with my dearest little sister Gaea?" They nodded "Well she is gathering her sons, the Titans and Giants and is planning in overthrowing the Gods. My mother and I knew this day would come many years ago and both of us knew that the only way for the gods to stand a chance against them would be to send me here to help; after all I did help on the first war against them. So I trained for the past millennia to be at my strongest and come here to help you out as the Prophecy said I would have to. Are you familiar with the Prophecy?"

They nodded again and Reyna spoke up "Yes, we know of the Prophecy my lord, but we do not know it`s meaning"

Diana recited the Prophecy

"The peaceful era we believed to have gained has come to an end

Old enemies shall rise once again

Ally themselves to destroy those who had defeated them

The two faces of the coin must unite to stand a chance against the Old Ones

The First one shall send someone to help the gods and goddesses

Or the world as we know it will come to an end

Old grudges and prejudice shall die to save ourselves"

"The first lines states that there will be war no matter what we do, the second that Gaea, Titans and Giants will be our enemies in the war, the third one it`s pretty clear, the fifth and sixth says that Chaos had to send her son to help us or the world will be destroyed and the last one says that we must no judge each other or our allies" she explained.

"My Lady, not to be disrespectful, but I think that you forgot the fourth verse" Jason said.

Diana and I looked at each other and sighed, here comes the difficult part.

"We will tell you it`s meaning but you must swear on the River Styx not to jump to conclusions and let us explain" I said.

Both nodded and said "We swear on the River Styx to stick to your terms" Cue thunder.

Diana took it upon herself to explain how Greeks Demigods existed, why the gods didn`t tell neither party that the other existed because it always ended up in a bloody war with lots of innocent people dead. Then she proceeded to explain why the two camps must work together to fight this threat or they will all die and the gods will fade.

At first both looked surprised the angry but lastly the looked understanding but cautious.

"How are we supposed to get along with the Greeks? This time it could very well end up in war as well" Jason said.

"You are wrong Jason Grace, I won`t tolerate any misjudgment towards the Greeks neither from you nor from them to you. This time it will not end in war because I won`t allow it" I said.

Jason nodded, apparently satisfied with my answer.

"We will stay here for a week and then we will teleport you to Camp Half- Blood where you will meet with the Greeks, every afternoon of that week everyone will train with Percy and me, but we will leave every day before six a.m. to train in Olympus" Diana said.

"Very well My Lady, we will inform the rest of the Legion of this at dinner time. Will you be present?" Reyna asked.

We both nodded and leaved the room with a nod of good-bye towards the Preators.


Nyx POV

I teleported to Mount Othrys as soon as the sun went down and the moon went up. Night was when I was at my strongest.

I was dressed in pure black clothes, shoes and a hood that allowed nothing but my mouth and chin to be seen. Nevertheless I willed the shadows to cover me, making me impossible to see, I also hid my aura; a trick that Percy taught me, so that no one will be able to tell where I was.

Once my preparations were done I headed towards the Mount, entering the creepy Palace that looked about to collapse. I used the shadows to locate the room where Krios, Perses and Gration were discussing, then I shadow traveled and stayed hidden.

"I am telling you! We need to kidnap Hera, Artemis and Athena, without them the rest of the Olympians will be absolutely useless! Zeus will be too depressed to act, Apollo will come running to find her sister and then we can kidnap him too and without Athena, their main strategist, there will be no way they will be able to win this!" Krios was saying.

"And, pray tell, how in the world are we going to kidnap three goddesses? Hera will be pretty easy to dispose of, but Artemis and Athena will the almost impossible to capture!" Perses argued.

"We will kidnap Hera first, then we kidnap one hunter and one daughter or son of Athena and she and Artemis will most likely look in the mortal world for them, then we will take our chances at capturing them. Gration, you will handle Artemis, Perses you got Athena and I will see how I will kidnap Hera" Krios said.

"We must not forget that we sent two of our most powerful battalions and somehow they were obliterated! They are being helped by someone, a powerful one at that" Gration pointed out.

"Nonsense! And besides he or she won`t be able to fight off three Titans, even if the goddesses are helping! Have some faith brother, we all know that Atlas and Hyperion weren`t the brightest of us, we will be able to do this and by the end of the week we will have three goddesses in our grasp, the other Olympians will be useless and then we will reunite in Greece with our mother and the rest of our brethren and annihilate the gods once and for all!" Krios said.

At that the three Titans smiled and called it a night.

I shook my head Foolish and blinded by pride, that way the only place they will be is Tartarus but oh well, their problem not mine. I chuckled silently, they weren`t even suspicious that another Primordial could be helping, idiots, that was one mistake that will cost them dearly.

Nevertheless I was a little worried about their plan, it could work but now that I know and by extension the gods knew, we could take precautions and kill this three Blockheads.

I sighed and teleported to my brother`s palace and went to my room, I will inform the others about this tomorrow first thing in the morning.

I was worried, they were planning on taking Artemis too and I knew that Percy will not be happy about that. When he was with her I saw a happiness that stood out on his eyes and I will not let my brother lose that. If someone deserves to be happy is my brother and will make sure of that.

With that thought in mind I went to sleep and rest a little for tomorrow will be a tiring day.


Diana/ Artemis POV

Percy and I were seated at my table in the Roman Camp, waiting for the demigods to finish their dinner to announce the news.

After half an hour the demigods were ready and the Preators stood up. Immediately everyone stopped talking and gave them their attention.

"Romans! Tonight we are honored by the presence of the Goddess of the Moon and the Hunt Diana" I flashed beside Reyna "And Perseus the Peacekeeper, Son of Chaos!" Percy teleported beside Jason as every demigod bowed to us after they got over their surprise.

I went to stand beside Percy as he started talking.

"Rise demigods! Unfortunately we bring ill news to you. My sister Gaea is rising and she has gotten her sons, the Titans and Giants and most of the monsters, to help her and overthrown the gods to rule in their place!" the crown let lose a gasp of surprise and anger "Demigods, I regret to tell you this but we must go to war against them or we will all die, the gods will fade and the world itself as we know it will end" He finished.

"Not to be disrespectful My Lord, but how are we going to go toe to toe with them? We may be skilled warriors but they have the numbers, we are only 400 active legionnaires" One demigods spoke up and several nods of agreement went through the crowd.

"That Demigods is why we will now reveal a secret to you, know that this was kept from you for the best interest of everyone" Percy said.

I took a step forward and spoke "Romans, you are not the only demigods out there! In the Ancient times, before the Original Rome was created, we the gods were represented as Greeks and later as Rome conquered Greece we changed slightly and became Romans Gods and Goddesses. But you see, as Rome has survived and moved to the US with Mount Olympus, so has Greece! There are Romans and Greeks demigods and for us to survive this war we need to forget the old prejudice and judgment and unite with them or we will all die"

Shouts of disagreement and hate were heard from the crowd. Most demigods were surprised, others were angry and only a small group understood the situation.

"SILENCE" Percy screamed but none of the demigods stopped screaming.

I noticed him get frustrated and took his swords out, changed his eyes to red and impaled his swords in the ground causing an earthquake.

That seemed to warn the demigods not to anger him and they quickly stopped screaming and turned to look at him.

"You all are the same! You are all demigods, you just have different parents but at the end of the day you are all the same. The new generation of Greeks has done nothing against you nor did they cause any distress in the short time they had know about you! I will not tolerate you insulting each other, anyone who plans to disrupt the peace between the two camps shall beg that Jupiter kills him/her before I do! At the end of the day you all have the same origins, keep that in mid demigods" He said.

Now the demigods understood they bowed their heads in shame and some muttered apologies but Percy merely waved them away.

"I ask you know: Do you understand what is going on? If we don`t do this we all die! Will you be able to co-operate with your brothers and sisters?" Percy asked.

A chorus of "Yes My Lord" was heard and the Romans saluted him. He smiled.

"Good, now Lady Diana and I will stay here for a week and then we will go to the Greek camp, in that week every afternoon you will train with us to improve your skill. Now go to rest demigods, you will need it" He said and everyone dispersed.

Once we were alone he turned to me and grasped my hand.

"Well that went better than I expected" He said and I laughed.

"It could have been worst" I agreed.

He nodded "I have a surprise for you Diana, come with me to our meadow?" He asked.

I nodded eagerly and waited as he teleported us there. Once we arrived I changed to my Greek form again and walked to the center.

I noticed that he didn`t followed and turned only to find him with a guitar strapped to his chest. I raised my eyebrows in question but he just shook his head and told me to sit.

"I am assuming you know Spanish?" He asked and I gave him "the look" but he just chuckled "Perfect then! I have a gift for you, I hope you like it" he winked at me causing me to blush.

He then started to play the guitar, a beautiful melody coming from it and then he started to sing.

No importa cuánto duela se que valdrá la pena (It doesn`t matter how much it hurts, I know it will be worth it)
Poder a tu lado estar (To be by your side)
No importa lo que digan yo se que algún día (it doesn`t matter what they say, I know someday)
Nunca nos podrán separar (they will never be able to rip us apart)
Porque nunca dejare de luchar (Because I will never stop fighting)

Te regalo la luna y te regalo el sol (I give the moon and I give you the sun)
Todas las emociones que hay en mi corazón (All these emotions that are in my heart)
Te regalo esta música y la canto por ti (I give you this song and I sing it for you)
Te regalo un poema que aun no escribí (I give you a poem that I didn`t wrote yet)
Es tanto lo que tengo para darte mi amor (There is so much to give my love)

Y al verte sonreír el mundo se ilumina (And when I see you smiling the world lights up)
Nunca imagine estar así (I never imaginated to be like this)
Es que nadie podrá entender lo que yo siento al verte (Because no one can understand what I feel when I see you)
Conmigo siempre podrás contar (You can always count on me)
Porque nunca dejare de luchar (Because I will never stop fighting)

Te regalo la luna y te regalo el sol (I give the moon and I give you the sun)
Todas las emociones que hay en mi corazón (All these emotions that are in my heart)
Te regalo esta música y la canto por ti (I give you this song and I sing it for you)
Te regalo un poema que aun no escribí (I give you a poem that I didn`t wrote yet)
Es tanto lo que tengo para darte mi amor (There is so much to give my love)

Ya no aguanto mas quiero verte hoy (I can`t stand anymore I want to see you today)
Y tenerte a mi lado otra vez (And have you by my side once more)
Y poder sentir, poder sonreír (And be able to feel, be able to smile)
Juro que nunca te dejare (I swear I will never let you go)

Te regalo la luna y te regalo el sol (I give the moon and I give you the sun)
Todas las emociones que hay en mi corazón (All these emotions that are in my heart)
Te regalo esta música y la canto por ti (I give you this song and I sing it for you)
Te regalo un poema que aun no escribí (I give you a poem that I didn`t wrote yet)
Es tanto lo que tengo para darte mi amor (There is so much to give my love)

By the end of the song I was crying from happiness. I waited until he took off his guitar and I tackled hug him and he wraps his arms around me and returns the hug.

"Thank you it was so beautiful" I managed to say.

"I meant every word" He whispered.

I broke the hug and I kissed him, trying in some way to put all I was feeling into that one kiss. He returned with the same vigor. After a few seconds we broke apart and I looked deeply into his eyes.

"Thank you, I love you"

"I Love you too Artemis"


AN: And cut! In that happy note I end today`s chapter.

I love that song, and I translate it myself so if the translation sucks then I am sorry but I had to put the song there I love it! But I don`t own it.

Please guys, leave you reviews it keeps me writing.

Now I have to go because it`s late and if someone finds me then I will be grounded.

See you awesome readers,
