Artemis's POV

I woke up lying on something hard and felt someone twirling my hair. I looked up and met the mesmerizing sea green eyes staring into mine (and if you tell anyone I said that, I will hunt you down and turn you into a jackalope then have my hunters shot arrows at you!). I realized I was lying on his chest.

"Morning Beautiful!"

I smiled at him. "Morning… shouldn't you be at camp?"

"I was going to get up and go, but I didn't want to wake you and you're so beautiful when you sleep."

I blushed a little. "Well you're late and you know Luna, she would want to see you before her quest and confrontation with the oracle."

He sighed. "Alright, alright, I'll be back in a couple of hours." He gave me a quick kiss on the lips, got up and got dressed.

"Alright, I'm going."

He came back over and gave me another kiss, but this one lasted longer and was more passionate. We pulled apart, and when I opened my eyes, he was gone. I sat there for a second and then finally decided to get up and get dressed.

I flashed to my cabin at camp and found my second in command Phoebe.

"Hello My Lady. Are you alright?"

"Yes, why?"

"Well you were a little late and you look a little different. Your hair is a little messy and you look a little tired."

I started brushing my hair with fingers really fast. "I slept in."

"But then why…"

"It's unimportant Phoebe. Anyways, I wanted to tell you that Thalia, as you may know, is going on a quest with my daughter. That means you will be in charger when I cannot be here."

"Alright My Lady." She did a quick bow and walked out the cabin. I had a feeling Phoebe didn't really let it go and she just pushed it to the back of her mind, but it doesn't really matter.

I walked out of the cabin and walked to the Big House. I found Percy there talking to Chiron.

"May I interrupt?"

They both turned to me and Percy had a warm smile on his face.

"Of Course Lady Artemis, I have an archery class to teach anyway."

Once Chiron was gone, Percy picked me up and did one of those twirls that are in the cliché romantic movies (What? Just cause I'm a maiden doesn't mean I haven't see a romantic movie! It's all Aphrodite's fault! She made me watch them with her in hopes I would fall in love!).

"What are you so happy about?"

"Our daughter is going on her first quest. I'm so nervous and worried; I needed to take my mind off of it and you make the perfect distraction." He said, and then kissed me.

"Come on! I need to speak with Luna before she leaves. Where is she?"

"She's on the hill with the other three going on the quest."

"Alright, I'm going to talk to her before she sets off."

"I'm coming with you."

Percy and I walked side-by-side to the hill. All the campers and satyrs greeted us with a slight nod. The nymphs, however, were gawking and giggling at Percy which only made me want to shot an arrow through their little hearts and tear their limbs off one by one. Percy noticed my anger and told me to focus on Luna right now. I cooled off, but I will repay the nymphs a visit later.

We came to the top of the hill and Luna saw us. Thalia and Luna exchanged a few words and then Luna walked over to us.

"Mom!" She engulfed me in a hug which I gladly returned.

"Luna, we need to speak before you leave."

She nodded.

"Now this is your first quest and I know it will be difficult, but we will help you as much as we can without violating the ancient law. We can't be there all the time, but we trained you for this. You also have our two top hunters and an excellent archer with you. You have to clear your father's name so that Athena will not and I quote: send her flock of owls to Percy's palace and have them find him and gauge his eyes out. Then, have them eat the flesh where his heart belongs and have them peck his heart out until the last beat. They will bite every finger off his hands and peck his, your too young to go there right now, but you get the point. (Never get on Athena's bad side)."

She stared at me. "No pressure…"

"You'll be fine Luna. Remember, your father had to clear both his and his dad's name on his first quest and prevent a war. You're doing two-thirds of that."

"Yeah, you can handle anything and are well prepared. We give you our blessing on this quest of yours and we hope that the Fates will be with you."

"Thanks mom, dad…"

She gave us each one more hug each.

"Dad, you're shaking!"

"I'm sorry! I'm nervous and worried… It's your first quest. I mean I can't help but worry. It's not easy taking my mind off things; I have to be well distracted… I swear I'm going to have a panic attack!"

"Percy, Luna will be alright. She can handle herself, now we have to go! Bye Luna."

"Bye mom, bye dad!"

We walked down the hill back towards camp. "Panic attack?" I asked.

"Oh shut up! I'm worried… Care to distract me? I'm free all day!"

I made my bow materialize and I hit him in the head with the hilt.

"Didn't get distracted enough last night?"

"Ow! I meant hang out all day not that! I'm not a sex pig!"

"I know, but you should be clearer with your word choice."

He began mumbling something.

"I'm sorry, what was that?"

"Nothing…"

"Thought so!" We both busted out laughing after a few seconds.

Thalia's POV

I told Luna to go speak with her parents before we left. After a few minutes, she came back.

"Alright so what do we do next?" Nico asked.

"We have to figure out where to go first." Sol stated.

"Well we should start with the last place Annabeth was seen."

"Yeah, but the prophecy stated to travel west through the woods." Luna said.

"Well we have to find the woods Annabeth was traveling in find the last place she was seen and look for clues as to where she was taken."

"But the thing is, we don't know where Annabeth was last seen." Luna added.

"Well one person does…" Sol said.

That's when I realized… We'll have to visit Athena for the information if we want to find Annabeth. The worst part is, NO ONE wants to be anywhere near the goddess of war when she's unhappy.

Now once again, I would like to apologize for my absence to FanFic! I'm a real terrible person :,( I really need to update faster! And to The King of Atlantis, I love you too! (Also not in that way ) I also would like to apologize to Hoodie Mafia and Lightningkid333! I hope these shout outs allowed you to forgive me! Until next time…
