Chapter 21 – Revelations II

A/N: The thing is, I doubt the boys will be two separate bodies for long. Kinjaz01 summed it up the best; it's like a godly bi-polar. They really are the same person just from different origins, which makes them appear to be different people. So, at best, it's just a case of him being OOC half the time. Also; HOLY SHIT 500 FAVES!

They were sitting with their backs against the walls of the moon chariot. The world below them flowing without them. Both of them had become completely oblivious to the flow of time. Artemis sat with her head against Percy's shoulder. "All of this... It's come along so quickly and yet, I don't feel disturbed by that, I'm genuinely happy with my choice of company right now." She admitted, keeping her eyes glued firmly on her hands that would usually be twitching, but right now they were calm, happy to be a sign of her ease near Percy.

"Excellent, now perhaps you can tell me the entire truth about what's really going on around here? I can't speak for Perseus and his intentions at the moment but he's off gallivanting about with those Demon Hunters and that weirdly stoic Angel." Percy responded casually, his eyes casting a firm gaze on the finer details of the moon chariot. It was so unlike the sun chariot. Where Apollo had opted for a sports car, Artemis quite literally had a silver metal chariot. It was quite long, long enough for Percy to lie down comfortably, which was quite an impressive feat for any kind of vehicle.

Artemis sighed. The truth? That was a big thing to ask for all things considered. She didn't even truly know where to start yet she was undoubtedly the most appropriate person to ask, especially after Aphrodite's last visit where the love Goddess had revealed everything.

"Well, here goes." She muttered quietly before shifting form his side, she sat over his legs, looking his directly in the eyes. He found himself completely unable to tear his emerald eyes away from her perfect silver stare.

"I've fallen for you Percy, that's as simple as I can make that. Thalia... She's, according to Aphrodite, found herself having quite a large admiration for Perseus, the bad-boy Demon who never rejected her by dating her best friend. I think that her affection is going to shift towards him. Speaking of which, how in Hades have you managed to split into two bodies, because I know for a fact that us Gods can do that but it's incredibly difficult and requires a lot of power." Artemis demanded, suddenly finding that little factor to be an incredibly important detail. As far as she knew only true Gods could achieve such a feat, and while Percy was technically a God due to the elimination of humanity in his blood, he was a God without a domain, it was merely a title and a technicality.

"I have no idea, but I don't really want to have to focus on that for a while, just let me enjoy my current company without the Demon. So you were explaining this current situation." He prompted her to continue but there was a small thought in the back of his mind that at some point he'd end up fighting his own Demon. Real 'duel of the fates' type thing.

"The sea nymph, Aphrodite tells me that your 'love' for her is platonic, thus finishing this whole complex circuit you have evolving around you." After she'd put it into words, it really wasn't that difficult to comprehend, and she'd been right, what he felt for Esther was something different, it was a sisterly bond that he felt towards her.

"Fair enough. I wonder what Perseus is doing with those Demon Hunters." Percy spoke his mind, not realizing at first that he'd vocalized the second half of that sentence. Artemis just stared at him for a moment, wondering what kind of things went through his head. What had he been through when Kronos had tortured this man?

"The hunt is on the move again Percy, we've found tracks that look suspiciously like a minotaur. I thought you might want to be at the head of this hunt. Thalia thinks that it's going to take us just a few miles outside of camp half blood." Artemis continued, watching for his reaction. He'd had his fair shair of troubles with the minotaur in the past, but there had come a point in the last few years that the minotaur was just an effortless chore to him, even before he'd become THIS powerful.

"Maybe, I'd have to see to it that Perseus is OK doing whatever it is that he's doing, it might benefit us to be together on this one." Percy looked up into the eyes of the woman that he was finally coming to terms with falling in love with. It had been a long but subtle process hidden away at the back of his mind for years, but after everything that he'd been through, it had finally pushed it's way to the front of his subconscious, an epiphany, as Artemis was sat over his legs, just staring at him.

'I think that between myself and the Angel that I should be able to handle dear old granddad, but it wouldn't be a bad thing if you were to come back, heck, even better if we can maintain this whole two bodies situation, especially if I have to fight Cain in an underhanded situation.' Perseus spoke inside Percy's mind. The prince of the sea realized that no matter what they were, they would both be able to communicate because they were the same person, regardless of what aspect and what body.

"Well, he says he should be able to handle it, though it wouldn't hurt to have me there. I'd explain in detail what he's planning, but frankly I don't want to. It hurts my head just thinking about it on the sheer basis that it involves murdering our evil Demon grandfather in cold blood... Our grandfather who happens to be Cain, as in Cain and Abel." Percy told the now wide eyes Artemis.

"Well, go right ahead, come back to me in one piece, you hear me?" She asked, grabbing his collar to make sure he understood the necessity for him to not get himself killed, either of them.

'Hah, your girlfriend is ginger in this lighting!' Perseus managed to get through, obviously increasing his power enough to see inside Percy's mind for a few seconds.

"Firstly, I don't exactly know what we are to each other, but regardless of that, you and I are both included in that, so I don't know why you're laughing dipshit. Secondly, good God what in Hades' name is that?" Percy did the same thing as his Demon and looked inside the other's mind, effectively giving himself a perfect view of everything that Perseus was seeing and it was horrifying.

"What did the idiot say?" Artemis glared but was promptly ignored, Percy was far too preoccupied by the monstrosity he could see through Perseus' eyes.

'It's a type of Demon entrapment circle, very powerful magic, very old magic actually. Sam called it a Devil's Trap.' Well that can't have been good, especially not with Perseus around it. The son of Poseidon had to wonder whether or not a Devil's Trap would actually work on Perseus though, he WAS a unique Demon after all.

"Already on first name basis are you? Didn't take you for the type to get chummy with a pair of Demon Hunters." Percy grinned, showing a toothy animalistic smile to Artemis who blushed because of her fondness for it.

'You heard the Angel you sea cucumber, I'm not an evil Demon, I'm unique, now if you're coming over to give me help in killing our grandfather, then kindly separate yourself from that Goddess, who's doing a fantastic job at upholding her man forgoing oath by the way, and teleport yourself to my location.'

"I'd love to see you say that to her face." Percy challenged his Demon, knowing full well that he wasn't likely to randomly say anything bad to anyone, he just wasn't like that.

"WHAT did he say?" Artemis looked ready to hunt the Demon down and destroy him a thousand times over.

'I'm alright thanks, don't have the balls for that kind of thing.' Perseus admitted with a chuckle.

"Yeah that's what I thought, I'll be there as soon as I can." And with that, Percy had returned his focus to Artemis. She noticed his eyes literally take on a whole new level of intensity after he was no longer speaking his his chaotic counterpart.

"Percy." Artemis' tone was dangerously edgy, she was just waiting for him to say something wrong, so he thought he'd temporarily throw her off before he disappeared on her yet again.

"Sorry Luna, got to go." He announced as he stood up, much to her displeasure. She'd been greatly enjoying his company in the moon chariot on this night, of course, up there, it was always night.

"Luna? You can't seriously be mistaking me for her can you?" She asked him incredulously.

"What, there's really a Goddess called Luna? I was just trying to come up with a nickname for you." Once again Percy gave her that smile, it served to cause the Goddess' cheeks to tinge a perfect shade of crimson against her normally pale complexion.

"Fine, Luna's out the window, but I've got to go, see you soon beautiful." He whispered the last part, then he was gone, leaving behind only a faint seabreeze that caressed Artemis' skin softly, leaving her yearning for his gentle hands once again. Gods her emotions towards him were moving at such a fast pace, and honestly?

She loved it.
