Hi guys, I'm back with another chapter. I got some epic stuff planned for the future of this story, so don't you dare think it's slowing down anytime soon!
BTW I just got a review the other day from a guy named Legalt, if you look back in the (few) reviews you'll see it, this individual has turned off his PM's so that we cannot contact him, real noble of him... If they're not guests they're no-shows, am I right? Anyways, I just wanted to write this message to let you know that no one cares for your flame and no one will, I don't, that's for sure. Oh, I also wanted to say to (not)-kindly, fuck the hell right on off.
Also, next chapter I will be doing review shoutouts again, I know I know... It's been forever, but I'm finally doing them again, so I will be reviewing all the reviews since chapter 9 to find the best five reviews and those will be posted and shouted out, so if you want to be on the shout out board next chapter, then you better send in your reviews!
Also, I send out polls about the story and announcements and talk to my readers on my discord server, so if you joined, it would be really beneficial to me, the story, and most of all you, so PLEASE consider joining me on discord.

30 minutes later.
For the second time in just over a week, Artemis found herself standing outside the door to Aphrodite's palace... The council meeting had been very hectic and out of the ordinary, everything has been out of the ordinary lately... Her and Aphrodite had become somewhat friends after that day they had together, even though it definitely was demoralizing and torturous, but in the end it had been so worth it for Artemis.
Now Arty felt that she was obliteratingly obligated to come and thank Aphrodite for the... er, help, she gave her.
Granted, all Aphrodite had really done was bash her and make her feel bad about herself, but in the end she did get the result she had come there to get... a decision. And it turns out that it had been the right decision too, her life was happier now, and full of something she never thought she would ever truly have... Love, true love, and Percy was truly happy now, so in her mind she had done the right thing and it had all been totally worth it.
Knock!
Knock!
Knock!
(FBI OPEN UP!)
To Artemis's surprise it wasn't Aphrodite that answered the pink door, it was Ares!
"What do you want?"
"Oooh, headache?" She teased.
"Shut up, no one asked you."
"Really? Seem to remember you just did."
"Oh you-"
"Careful, don't wanna get your ass kicked by another girl, do you?"
He snarled and she chuckled, inviting him to take a swing at her. Artemis had never actually fought Ares, but Percy had beat him when he was 12 so she figured it wasn't hard.
"Ares, honey, go somewhere else while the adults talk."
Now THAT was Aphrodite, and even if Artemis didn't recognize the voice she would know who it was from the caked on layers upon layers of charmspeak.
"Don't call me-"
"Do it!" They both shouted, which sent him on his stupid way.
(I don't like Ares)
"Gosh, he is such a pain!"
"Care to elaborate?" Artemis asked.
"He's so annoying, stubborn, came straight to me after Nyx kicked his ass... Not to mention he doesn't have any stamina in the bed... Which I'm sure you don't have that problem."
"I really don't need the details, and I don't really know what you're talking about, nor do I."
"Real-"
"No."
"So how's it been with Percy?"
Ah yes... The ball hitter right off the bat.
"Much better, you weren't very nice... But thank you, truly."
"I'd hardly take credit for your relationship success, it waakxxxs your decision to come here, and more importantly it was your decision to give up your vow, so don't go giving me any credit."
Damn... That's probably the most selfless thing Artemis has ever heard from her, not that Aphrodite was selfish...
"Oh don't look at me like that, I'm not nearly as bad as you think I am, I promise."
"I really was wrong about you..."
"Apology accepted? Anyways, how did you become so powerful all of a sudden? How did Percy get so fucking strong all of a sudden?"
"Weren't you listening? We met Lord Chaos."
"So it's really true... How are we going to survive this?"
"That's why he made us both so strong, and we have Nyx."
"You trust her?"
"Of course I trust her, believe it or not we have some shared values..."
"Oh, like what?"
"Her husband cheated on her, that's one of the reasons she's helping us, and I respect her for that."
"Never thought a Primordial could be motivated by something so simple..."
"Me neither, but she's a woman just like you and me."
"I suppose that's true, indeed, she certainly is pretty."
"Wears less clothes than you do."
"Ha fucking ha, Artemis, good one."
"Hey, it's true!" She cried.
"She's shameless, which in her shoes is a good thing, I respect her for being so confident in her appearance."
"Geez, why won't we invite her over for a drink? Mine as well at this point."
"Yeah! Then we all get drunk and have a lesbian threesome!"
"..."
"What?"
"What is wrong with you?"
"You're no fun..."
"
"Yeah, she's far too busy."
"Mhm."
"I need to get going back to the hunt."
"Not gonna tell me about your new sex life?"
"Hades no!"
"Fine... be sure to stop by if you want any sex tips, or toys!"
"Pftt."
And with that short and sweet talk, Artemis headed out the door, straight back to the hunt.
Nyx walked down the stairs out of Olympus's throne room with just as much confidence and power as she does anything.
"Damn, I had no idea those Olympians were so childish... How will we ever win this war with those... those, children? Maybe at the most half of them are competent, that moon goddess, Hades and Poseidon, as well as that Hestia girl, Perseus of course, Athena and maybe that Hephaestus character-"
"Wait, Nyx!" Came a voice from behind her, a familiar voice that she heard chuckling, and the same eyes she felt eyeing her in the throne room. It was that voice of that idiot, Apollo.
She spun around and barked: "What?! It's Lady Nyx to you, and I have no desire to speak with you."
"Please-" He tried.
"No, I don't speak to playboys, if you want my time then you need to become more respectable, and stop acting like a child. I know what you want, and I'm not going to be your next sleeparound, if I didn't hate my husband I'd blast you into Tartarus."
Before he could even reply she spun around and opened a portal and teleported back to her home in the mansion of Night.
Percy, Artemis and the hunter's were all sitting around the campfire, some of the younger hunter's were roasting marshmallows over the fire on pine sticks while the older hunter's had their attention on their patrons and Percy. They were telling them all about the exciting day they had!
"Dad passed out in the middle of the throne room!? RIGHT IN FRONT OF NYX!? HAHA!"
That was Thalia...
"Yeah, it was glorious, like one minute he was walking towards her with his master bolt, the next he's getting better acquainted with the floor!" Arty exclaimed, making Thalia laugh even harder, which made most of the other hunters laugh in tandem.
"It was great, but I can't imagine what Lady Nyx thinks of us..." Percy agreed.
"What all did she say? I know there is something going on, but I don't know what. And Percy, why do you call her Lady?" Atlanta asked, getting to what matters as usual.
"I call her Lady Nyx because I respect her, and she kind of helped me a bit while I was in Tartarus... But in the meeting she told us that two of the primordials have declared war on Olympus, and they're both even more powerful than Gaia was." At this the hunter's gasped.
(Readers: "We've heard this four times now! Hunters: *gasp*)
"Whose Gaia, what does all that mean?" One of the hunter's asked, one of the younger hunter's, obviously.
"Gaia is one of the primordials, the Earth goddess, she attacked Olympus a couple years back, and was defeated majorly due to Percy here. What does all this mean? It means that unless we get help from someone much more powerful than ourselves, Olympus's time is up, there's no way that we could defeat 2 MORE powerful Primordials alone, on our own, not now and likely not ever."
Guess that was Olympus's memorial? Spoken by Artemis the negative!
"Fortunately, we have Lady Nyx on our side, and I think that with her power and mine and Lady Artemis's relationship and our new power, we can win this war, but it will still not be easy." Percy explained,
"Why would Nyx help us? And even so, she's just one Primordial against two." A younger hunter named Jolien asked.
"Nyx is apparently helping us because her husband cheated on her, for millenia, and she is more than powerful enough." Artemis explained.
"So when will this war start?" Thalia asked.
"We have no idea," Percy told her. "But there is little comfort in that, we need to train and get ready, because they could attack at any moment. We also have to go to camp Half-Blood and assemble the demigods, then we will travel to the Roman camp, camp jupiter, and around the world searching for demigods and warriors to fight with us. The gods will stay on Olympus as they usually do, fortifying and preparing it to be our base of operations, I don't know what Lady Nyx is going to do but I suspect she has something planned."
"Why do we have to go to camp Half-Blood? One of the hunter's groaned.
"I'm not thrilled about it either, trust me, and I think you all know why. But this is bigger than that, and we must do what we need to do to win this war, we will leave in the morning."
"Since when did you decide where we go and when?" Artemis complained.
"We can't just sit around here with our thumb up our asses, Artemis."
Off in the distance Thalia giggled and murmured under her breath something like: "More like your thumb, up her ass." Making all the hunter's giggle and chuckle.
"It's not funny!" She exclaimed, frantically blushing like MAD.
"Yes it is..." Percy insisted.
When the blushing and laughing died down she said that "I guess we'll head out in the morning, so go get a good nights rest and we will leave first thing in the morning for camp Half-blood."
The hunter's all nodded and headed out for their respective tents, Percy and Artemis retired to theirs as well.
Percy stripped out of his outter clothes and got into bed, he pulled the covers up to his chest and watched as Artemis flashed her outter clothes off, he thought of the passionate nights they had had recently and realized that something was... weird, about it, normally a woman would be worried about getting pregnant from sex, and Artemis is the goddess of childbirth so she would be even more paranoid, right? But she wasn't.
"Hey Arty, weren't you worried about getting pregnant?"
Artemis froze, and her eyes went wide. But not because she was worried about getting pregnant...
"Artemis?" He asked skeptically.
"Ahh-h, P-Percy, I-I..."
"What?"
"I haven't been completely honest with you... I was worried about getting pregnant, so I-"
"What?"
"I-I cursed you to become infertile."
