Disclaimer; I don't own Percy Jackson
I know, I know, I know its really short, but I started writing it and I didn't know properly where to go with it and I got to a certain point and, well it worked well to stop!
It might seem a bit disjointed as Its been written as parts,
I don't think I really like this chapter at all, oh well. Sorry!
Blame my sister for getting me involved with Netflix... Time consumer

Voila!
"I'm sorry, I just don't really understand what your saying." Artemis began, she ran her hand through her silky auburn hair in a flustered manner,
Chiron, who was gently pacing around, rapping his fingers on his tidy, neatly polished desk, sighed, "Young Perseus is not at camp"
"Yes, yes I understand that part," Artemis moaned impatiently, gesturing for him to hurry up.
Chiron gave her a soothing look, one which immediately, immensely calmed down the goddess, the elder son of Kronos' immortality, his wisdom, showing through, "You must know about the master bolt?" Chiron didn't bother asking for a response, "Well, being a son of Poseidon, Perseus was immediately accused by Zeus, as Gods can't steal other Gods' symbols of power, so a demigod was an obvious choice." He calmly kept talking, "Before the summer solstice the bolt must be returned, or-" Artemis rolled her eyes again, this she knew, she knew he'd been accused and the threat from Zeus, and the incoming war despite the fact of Kronos, obviously arising, clear to everyone who knew anything, with the exception of Zeus, just proof men shouldn't be rulers, women are more level-headed, clear-minded. Men, are egotistical, insensitive jerks, well most of them anyway, Percy had greatly improved her view on men, she realised that she shouldn't stereotype as much, and that not all men are bad, Percy being a perfect example of this, with his unselfish actions and loyalty towards his friends, his family - the Hunt.
Poseidon probably had the best demigods. They were normally less arrogant, more faithful, or loyal, better leaders, confident, but not arrogant, and normally quite powerful, due to his small amount of them, he could give more power to each. Orion, was an exception to this. There always has to be one person, who ruins everything for everyone, he defeats the stats and ideas built up around Poseidon's children, by being a chauvinist pig, rapist and believing women to be inferior, while tricking Artemis to allow him into her Hunt, as a friend mainly, maybe there was, a long time this is ago, maybe there was a small section of her heart, unwillingly devoted to the black-haired, sea-green eyes son of Poseidon, but her mind defeated that possibility.
The problem with Greek history is the misinterpretation with the whole Orion debacle. He was put down in history as a hero, a good man with an unfortunate fault. What mainly annoyed Artemis was the continuous reference to him being the only male for the maiden goddess to have as a friend, some even hinting at more. They also got wrong the fact about his death. They told the entire world that Apollo had tricked Artemis into killing him, no way, that portrays Artemis as a dimwit who will, exactly like a dog, follow what another says like a sheep. The actual cause of his death was a competition between the twins. Artemis had, earlier that same day, found out the true story about Orion, a tearful hunter had explained to her what Orion did, his boasting about capturing her heart, how 'loyal' and 'nice' he actually was. Artemis had told Apollo, and the two livid deities (Apollo mainly livid at the fact a man, other than him, could talk to Artemis without being transformed into a jackelope), anyway, the two angered Olympians had devised a plan, a competition, because while he was a rapist and an asshole he was still the first son of Poseidon in two hundred years. They made it look like an accident, Apollo tricking Artemis (because Apollo and Poseidon got on pretty well and Apollo 'didn't know it was Orion') to shoot Orion. Which Poseidon was originally fine at, but then he found out the truth, the entire truth about his son. A vexed Poseidon immediately disowned his son, wanting no relation towards a rapist, he blessed the huntress attacked with a power, the power of shape shifting. The huntress left the hunt due to pregnancy, and she ended up finding a man in China, called Xio Zhang.
Poseidon had immediately apologised to Artemis, which had surprised the goddess, who'd thought he'd be irritated at the least, towards her and her brother, but instead he was emphatic, sympathetic, and apologetic, but more than those, very resentful towards his son. This was when Artemis had began to accept the idea of 'better men' - men who still, weren't good enough, Poseidon had cheated on Amphitrite on the first place of course, but when something went wrong, instead of ignoring the matter and sweeping it under the rug, Poseidon confronted it, and admitted a fault.
"Chiron, just tell me where he is?" Artemis ordered, irritated and annoyed at the centaur, for she came here to find her hunter, and all Chiron could do was send her some backstory talk, which generally didn't matter to her, because she was aware of it already.
Chiron sighed, "Percy is," He shrugged slightly, almost as if scared, and steeling his nerves, but in reality, probably just unsure, and unwilling to lose another hero, "He's on a quest." He simply stated.
Artemis slowly nodded, her eyes alert, panning the room, for something, a distraction. Quests were dangerous, especially for demigods, and, as much as it pained her to admit, she did like Percy, he was a good addition to her hunt, mainly, she didn't want him to die on a pointless quest, which was all just a show of Zeus' stupidity - who had asked him how he actually lost the master bolt in the first place. Also how dumb was the King of the Gods, Percy had never been on Olympus, - then again, Zeus didn't know that, he didn't even really know of Perseus too much. He didn't know about his inclusion in the hunt, if he did, who knows what would happen,the main question, its simple; How does a measly demigod, steal the King of the God's, symbol of power?
