Aren't Nereids daughter of Nereus? True, but plot point is needed, so Oceanus is father of Amphitrite here.
What could possibly come out of hearth, family and seas?
And yh, Amphitrite fits the plot when a daughter of Oceanus. As for the last point, well We'll see won't we.

This is where the legends of the Assasins Brotherhood came from
Guess so, don't rly know tbh.

Wassup guys, so, I will probably update once every two days in the weekdays and both days on the weekend:

The firstborn of Hestia and Poseidon raced through the woods effortlessly, his heartbeat controlled as gracefully manoeuvred his way through the forest. Moonlight shone across the terrain, the land truly was a sight to be seen.

"Dammit Perseus, you won again!" a voice called through the woodland. Leonidas, son of Ares and Nike emerged through a clearing, cuffed as Artemis appeared behind him. Artemis' mouth formed into a wicked smile as she spotted Perseus before bounding Leonidas to the bark a tree.

"I swear Artemis just doesn't obey the laws of physics, and she caught me first again;" Leonidas moaned.

"She doesn't obey anyone bro, only your father can match her in combat. Heck, I'm pretty sure Zeus is scared of her sometimes!" Perseus replied from the other side of the clearing, 200 yards away from them. "As for always catching you first, well I guess I'm just that awesome!"

"Well, she's after you now; you should be pretty scared," he stated matter-of-factly before grumbling slightly at his best friend's last comment as Artemis prepared to attack Perseus.

"Me scared, nahh!" Perseus replied before expertly flipping of the tree he was on and with the grace of only a practiced hunter, sped off back into the forest.

Artemis smirked; "And where does he think he is going, huh?" she murmured to herself before sprinting after him.

Perseus grinned as he heard Artemis' footsteps, and yet his hammering heart betrayed his true emotion. No it wasn't fear, he wasn't lying to Leonidas when he said he wasn't scared, but he was apprehensive. He was about to fight against Artemis in combat; second to only Ares in sparring, and yet despite that he was confident. He had been training since could walk, holding swords and practicing battle stances since even before then. He knew he couldn't outrun Artemis, a fully-fledged god; he was 12, only a godling. One without his domains, he would get those when he was 18. Artemis was the goddess of hunting, literally what she was doing to him now, she was the goddess of the moon, what she was under right now, and Perseus knew that his combat was his best skill; not running away. He was standing in front of a trap; not his, but Artemis'. He doubted it, but perhaps he could get an easy win. It was going to be a battle until one of them lost consciousness, or yielded, and Perseus knew he certainly wouldn't be doing that; no, his pride and determination would not allow that.

Suddenly, he caught a streak of silver, and no more than a blur flashed across and into the trees.

"Come down Artemis," he complained as he lazily caught another arrow, "we both know your archery won't help you right now."

She nodded her head in submission as acrobatically leapt of the tree, her parkour skills immaculate.

"Very well, Perseus, we shall see of what Ares has taught you," she taunted as she strolled toward him. At this, Perseus became angered; Nike had instilled in him a pride that she preached should never be bitten into. He then realised that this egotistical side of Artemis was merely a facade, as if she knew that a sense of superiority would anger and subsequently distract him; hmm, Athena's lessons really came into play there.

"I'm sure the cuts and bruises you will have after this fight will show you Artemis," he smirked and imitated her pose as he waited for her on the other side of the trap. "No powers?" She shook her head before stopping for a second and smiling amusedly;

"You really think I would fall for such a trap. Truly, you underestimate young Perseus." Artemis said as she gestured in front of her.

"Oh no, I merely took a chance Artemis, one can only hope," he sighed dramatically, his eyes swimming with mirth and power as he stepped into a fighting stance. "In all seriousness though, Artemis, let us fight."

She grinned and leapt at Perseus, hunting knives in hand and sent a lightning-fast strike toward his shoulder. Perseus, wielding his favourite swords Maelstorm in one hand Riptide in another, simply stepped back to avoid the strike before retaliating with a counter strike. Went that ultimately led to the clanging of sword against hunting knife, they both backed up a few steps and circled one another.

"I must say Perseus, you are very good with that blade, but how are you with hunting knives? she questioned as she threw a pair at him.

"Is that a challenge? Oh, you're on!" he grinned, not having had this much fun in a long time.

Leonidas was an excellent fighter, there was no doubt about that; but Perseus was on his own level. Even at the tender age of 12, Perseus had managed to best all the godlings of Olympus, Apollo, Athena, and had even come close to beating Ares, his teacher and mentor and the best on Olympus at sparring without powers, on a number of occasions and once even drawing him to a stalemate. He was practised with all weapons, Ares' training ensured that; and he was particularly good with his swords, throwing and hunting knives, daggers, bows and arrows, and of course, the trident. He left the hunting knives that Artemis gave him on the floor and with a wave of his hand different ones appeared in them.

Again, Perseus and Artemis clashed, this time as blurs as they fought tirelessly. Artemis was slowly but surely, gaining the upper hand; and that's when Perseus made his move. He overextended, leaving his arm exposed. Or so Artemis thought. Without hesitation, he whipped his arm back towards his body, simultaneously grabbing and twisting Artemis' wrist into a submissive position before placing his knives at her throat.

Barely containing his excitement, Perseus jumped up and thrust his fist into the night sky. Artemis' face was one of shock before morphing into an ugly snarl for a brief second and finally settling on pride for the young godling.

"Well done Perseus! That was excellent!" Artemis said grudgingly. Meanwhile, Leonidas looked like he was going to feint through the Iris message.

"How did you even manage to Iris message us?" Perseus asked amusedly. When Leonidas continued to stare at him, his mouth still agape, Perseus just chuckled, slashed through the Iris message, said goodbye to Artemis, and headed back to his mom' chambers.

"Mom, I beat Artemis in our duel, she even said I was excellent, and she never says that!" Perseus continued rambling on about his duel and how he beat Artemis, to preoccupied in his story to see Hestia's fond smile, "Dad said he's gonna train me in water-powers at Atlantis after you train me with your fire powers," He finished with a smile.

"That's great sweetie, let's get started shall we."
