Thank got the support guys! I'd like to thank my mom and my teachers and- Naw for real though, I love you guys and thanks for the support! I'm leaning towards Zoe for the pairings and to give you guys more choices for the pairings, I will be giving Percy knowledge of the camps, one of which he may be going to in the future.

Percy POV
Run. Run. Run.
Run. Run. Run.
Run. Run. Ru-HOLY COW!
Me, Percy Jackson, Son of Vesta, champion of Artemis(or Diana to all my Roman peeps), just barely dodged a silver arrow going straight for my head. Said arrow was shot by everybody's favourite hunting goddess. Artemis, one of the people mentioned earlier, was attacking me. I had just lunged to the ground, I am completely vulnerable, and Artemis is approaching me with an arrow nocked and trained on my face. In other words, I'm losing.
"Do you yield?" I sigh in defeat and grudgingly say, "I yield." Artemis lowered her bow and offered me a hand. I took it, stood up, and looked around. A crowd of hunters had rallied around us and I must've missed it in the heat of the battle… if you can call getting your butt kicked by a 12 year old in 5 seconds flat a battle. Speaking of the "battle", the reason we were fighting was because when mom asked Artemis to train me I guess she thought that right after I had trekked through the woods for hours, almost gotten attacked by a small army of armed virgins, and relived my terrible past, was an amazing time to start training me with a sword that I swear weighs more than my body weight.
Suddenly, the sun flashed brightly and an equally bright flash appeared in front of Artemis. When the light subsided, a man stood in its place, his eyes like miniature suns. Artemis scowled.
"Apollo."
"Hey lil sis! Listen, you're a bit late on your shift and I got… stuff to do so-" As Apollo turned to leave he saw me. I guess I stood out considering I was the only boy there. "Wha- I- who- Arty why is this small boy in your camp? You barely let me here and I'm your big brother!"
"First of all Apollo, you're not older than me, and second of all, this child has been through great suffering that most of my hunters can relate to. His mother asked me to train him to be the first tolerable male and I obliged. Also, DON'T CALL ME ARTY!"
"Sheesh fine! Can I at least bless the kid? He must be pretty special if your willing to take him under your wing." "Of course you can't bless Per-" "Thanks sis!" Apparently Apollo didn't have to touch me to bless me and once again I was surrounded by a faint glow except it was gold instead of silver this silver speckles in my eyes were joined by new gold ones. "With my blessing you'll be better at archery, you will be able to heal most wounds instantly, and you will be great at singing, along with having an automatic mastery of all instruments. He handed me a necklace with a golden lyre pendant on it and I strung it around my neck. "The pendent will contact me when you rub it so if you're ever in a pinch then I can always help out."
Hello My Name Is Line Break!
5 Months Later…
It's been 5 months since I started training with Artemis and I think it's safe to say I've improved. For one I can hold a sword! Actually I can do a bit more than that. Arty said it herself that I've almost mastered the blade! I have this feeling inside of me that just one sword won't be enough and it definitely doesn't have anything to do with the dream I had about me wielding two identical swords with latin inscriptions on them. As soon as I tried to read the words, I woke up.
Oh ya! I almost forgot. Pluto comes around a lot and today he finally blessed me. It allows me to control the shadows and open up the ground to make holes straight to the underworld. I don't know if it's because our connection is stronger or because I met him first but instead of speckles, I get a ring of black that covers most of the sea green so that there's only a small sliver of it left. Not that I'm complaining! The less Neptune I have in me the better. And I even get to train in the underworld with him! He says it's because I have to be strong since I'm technically still a child of the Big Three and monsters will come after me but I think it's because he wants to spend more time with me.
Mom also visits a lot and she trains me on my fire powers and I've progressed greatly in that area of my abilities as well. Because the neglective god of the sea never comes to train me, I have to train myself. Hence the reason I suck with my water powers. I still love the water though and I often sit by the lake and play in the water. I don't think that anybody knows about the lake because as far as I know, I'm the only one who comes here.
Right now I'm in the underworld training with the shadows as part of my weekly lesson. "Percy pay attention!" calls Pluto. I hadn't noticed but while I was sucked in my thoughts, The spartoi I had been training with had caught up with me and were now trying to get through my shadow walls. Ya you heard me, shadow walls. Pluto taught me how to solidify shadows and make shadow constructs like arrows, spears, swords, and walls. I snapped back to the battle and reinforced my walls. Suddenly, I pulled down my walls and destroyed the rest of the spartoi.
"Great job my boy!" Pluto said to me. "Your really getting the hang of the shadows. If it weren't for your eyes I might have mistaken you for my son!" The idea of being the son of Pluto didn't seem so bad to me. Suddenly, I was flashed back to the hunter camp and was met by a surprising sight. All of the hunt including Artemis were standing in front of me and their arrows were angled down at me. One of the hunters through me threw a sword and light armour at me. "May I ask why I might be needing these?" I asked. Artemis was the one who responded. "You'll need it because this," she gestured to the hunters, "Is your test."
Thanks for the help guys! This is the re uploaded version and I think I fixed the mistake. Please don't swear in the reviews because I would prefer not to permanently scar the younger readers :P.
