Percy could not conceive how it was that Artemis was standing right in front of him. It hadn't been even fifteen minutes since he saw her sailing away, but now she stood smiling in front of him. Logically, there was only one explanation: Artemis was now stuck on the island forever with him.

At first, he felt happy. No longer would he have to live in solitude forever, spending every day in the swimming pool or playing video games. He could finally have somebody to share stories with, to eat with, but most importantly, somebody who could hear his problems. He wasn't thinking about anything romantic at the time, even if he did find the goddess attractive.

But then the implications of the situation dawned upon him. If Artemis couldn't leave this god-forsaken island, there was no way he could ever escape. Not only that but now his boat was gone, so he could no longer try to escape via a water route.

"How can you be here? You just left the island" Percy asked Artemis, who was smiling in front of him.

Artemis' smile turned into a frown at Percy's comment.

"No I didn't Percy, it's been twenty years since I left"

Percy stayed flabbergasted at his friend, not conceiving how time could move at such a different pace in both places. If only five minutes (or less) had passed in the island but twenty years had passed in the outside world, then how exactly was time functioning. How was it that time passed so fast in the outside world?

"Weird. Anyways, I'm really happy you're here! Maybe we could play WiiSports!" Percy said after failing to figure out how time passed so differently.

"What's WiiSports?" Artemis asked Percy.

He grinned and grabbed Artemis by her left wrist, pulling her with him. "You'll see" he simply said

It was unlike Artemis to let a man touch her, much less grab her wrist, but something about Percy made her feel so much relaxed. Thinking of him during the last twenty years had been the only thing that kept her from falling into the deep depression that was caused by the lack of domains she had. In just 200 years, mortals had managed to make her basically obsolete, to assimilate the moon with cruel beings, and even to marry at a very young age, making the number of maidens fall.

Olympians were supposed to be the most powerful gods in all of the Greek Pantheon, however, with the recent events, Artemis was beginning to be less and less powerful. She remembered when she could easily beat down Echidna. Recently, even bringing down a small pack of Hellhounds had required the help of her hunters.

Deep inside, Artemis knew that returning to the island would somehow solve her problems. Maybe it was because she would finally be forgotten by the mortals and she would get the sweet release of death, or maybe it was because being away from society would result in a cycle that would mean that mortals would start to believe in her domains once again. Whatever the reason, the goddess of the hunt had the drive to find the island without any exception.

She allowed herself to be dragged by the boy towards his home. The inside of the home had not changed at all in the twenty years she had been away, but then again, only a couple of minutes had passed on the island.

He dragged the goddess until she was standing in front of a large crystal board.

"What is this?" Artemis asked her friend as she examined the cristal board with great detail. She could see that some sort of cables seemed to be connected in the posterior part of the board. No matter how much she inspected it, the thing resembled nothing like she had seen before in her life, not even Hephaestus had such things in his palace.

"I conjured somehow. I call it the 'Pp-screen', meaning the Percy person screen" Artemis stared dumbfounded at her friend. His words entered one ear and left through the other.

"I have no idea what you just meant by that"

Percy sighed and went to grab some sort of remote. He pressed a big red button and suddenly the board emitted light and images.

"It's kinda cool, you can see fictional stories through here, but you can also play games. That's what we're going to do right now" Percy told Artemis as he crouched to set everything up. "You said twenty years passed in the outside world right?"

"That's correct" Artemis replied, not sure what her friend was going to ask next.

"Did you get a chance to figure out who my parents are?" Percy asked once he finished setting everything up, looking at Artemis intently in the eyes. She could see hope in those sea-green eyes, hope that was about to be destroyed by her one-word answer.

"No" she sighed. Percy looked down and wiped his eyes so that no tears would come out of them. "Percy, are you good?"

"Yeah I'm fine, don't worry. Let's just play Wii Sports" music played from the futuristic screen and the words WiiSports was written on it.

"Great, now what exactly is this?" Artemis asked confused as she saw many different types of pictures on the screen.

Percy handed her a long white remote. "It's a game that you play through the screen. It'll give you instructions on how to play it. Now, which game would you like to start with?"

Artemis pondered for a minute as she saw the different games there were but decided with the one she knew best. "Let's do archery first"

"Bad decision but it's fine. Just remember that you chose this game"

Hours passed and both friends had the time of their lives. They played multiple sports on the Wii, and after they finished multiple rounds of all sports, they switched to different games. Artemis was surprised by the variety of different games that could be played on the Pp-screen. From war simulations to some sort of automatic chariot race, the things that could be played on the screen were limitless.

As tiredness took place on both energetic beings after so much time of playing games, Percy asked Artemis if she wanted to eat dinner with him.

The goddess thought about her answer for a second. She knew that every minute she was spending on the island, years had gone by in her actual world. At the same time, she was having so much fun with Percy that her decision was made impossible. Sure, she didn't want her hunters to be bored out of their minds at her palace, but that didn't exactly mean that she should compromise her own happiness.

"Sure, what do you have?" Artemis decided to answer. Percy grinned and walked towards the kitchen.

"Well I have maccheese, frozen pizza, chicken tenders and fries, hamburger, ingredients for grilled cheese, it's really your decision. I personally love all of them, hence why they're my only food."

Artemis had no idea what any of the foods the boy just mentioned were, so she just opted to let him decide for her. Percy nodded and began to work with the food. She watched as he put water on a metal pot and waited until it was boiling.

"I thought you only had nectar," Artemis remarked, remembering the words that were stuck in her mind for twenty years.

"To drink I only have nectar and water. Food is another deal. Everything that I like is immediately added to my stock. Nice right?" Percy stated

Artemis nodded "yeah, very nice. So wait, you only like those stuff?"

"I like the same stuff that I've liked since I was three years old, fight me" Percy answered the question

The water began to boil and Percy put the pasta in the water, continuing with the steps necessary to complete the unknown plate. She saw as Percy's smile was the brightest she had ever seen...and that's including Apollo. For some reason, Percy's smile was contagious, and the huntress found herself smiling too, not even knowing why she was doing so.

As the young teen drained the macaroni, Artemis wondered what exactly her friend was. All accounts showed that he is no mortal, but that didn't automatically discard the possibility of him being a titan. Not knowing his parents also affected her thinking because her possibilities were literally endless. He could be the son of Aether and Athena and she wouldn't be able to tell. All she could hope for was that the domains of the teen somehow mirrored, to some extent, the domains of his parents.

His looks were similar to Poseidon, the black hair and all, but his facial features didn't exactly agree with that hypothesis. She didn't know which weapon he used, but that technique for determining parents was also flawed unless he was a demigod. No matter how much she thought about it, her analysis always ended up blank.

"Done! Maccheese a la Percy. Tell me what you think!" He brought her out of her thinking by putting the plate of food in front of her and sitting down in front of her with his own plate of food.

Artemis brought the Maccheese to her mouth and tasted it. Her eyes widened and a low moan came from the goddess.

"Mmmm, Percy this is unbelievable," she said quickly eating the food without chewing it

Percy smiled and began to eat from his own plate. This was the first time in his life in which he wasn't eating alone, and it felt weird. He needed to control himself and sit up straight. Not only that, but he needed to chew his food with his mouth clothes so he wouldn't seem gross. If he seemed gross then Artemis wouldn't come back, and he wanted her to be with him as much as possible.

"What are your domains, Percy?" Artemis asked interrupting the train of thought Percy had.

"I'm supposed to have domains?"

Artemis looked at him as if he had asked the most stupid question, which wasn't far from the truth. It was one thing not to know of the outside world, but it's an entirely different story when it comes to knowing yourself.

"Yeah stupid. Every god, titan, and primordial has domains, so you should have ones" Artemis explained

"I don't know then" he frowned.

"What if I help you find out?" Artemis asked

"What do you mean?"

"Well we could either summon the fates, which I wouldn't recommend, or we could find out by observing what are you good at and your characteristics. Which would you prefer?" Artemis mentioned the options. On one hand, Percy would know for sure what were his domains, but Artemis didn't recommend that method for some reason. The other option would result in Artemis spending more time with him and getting to know him, which could be fun but also dangerous. He did not know what was going on inside his mind, and Artemis potentially being there when he found out wasn't exactly something he was looking forward to.

After examining both options, Percy spoke up with the answer. "Lady Artemis, I'm your book to read"

"Huh?"

"We're not going to summon the fates," he said after seeing Artemis questioning face. She smiled lightly, making Percy's face flush involuntary with ichor.

"Great! We can start tomorrow then. There are going to be lots of tests so be prepared for anything," Artemis said as she cleaned her dirty plate.

"Let me" Percy took the plate away from her and began to clean it himself. "I don't have a spare room, but I can show you my room. If you want, you can sleep there and I'll sleep on the sofa"

Artemis shook her head. "No, it's your home so you sleep comfortably. I'm a passing guest"

"That's exactly why you should have the bed. I'm not going to sleep on it so it's either you sleep on it or nobody sleeps on it" Artemis sighed

"I'm not going to change your mind am I?" She asked after she saw the determined face of her friend. He nodded his head and she nodded.

"Fine, show me the bedroom. But be sure to sleep well, tomorrow is going to be a long day" Artemis proclaimed

"Don't worry, I'm sure this will be the best sleep I've ever had" he said confidently

"And why is that?"

"Cause I have you to give me company, even if you are in another room"

I'm not one for many authors' note, but I just want to say that I know nothing much happened in this chapter, but it builds upon Percy's personality. The stuff he has, what he eats, his mannerisms are all related to his domains, his parents and the reason why this will be a Pertemis. This story is more of a narrative so don't expect many fight scenes, but it will have a dynamic feel to it. You don't have to worry about that. Anyways thanks for reading, and if you enjoyed the chapter then give it a favorite or whatever. And leave a review if you can! I really enjoy reading your criticism and it helps me write the next chapters.

PS. I've written like 2k words so longer chapter than usual :)
