The teachings of the divine world have made many mortals and demigods to think that the gods are being that do not engage in petty fighting. They are higher beings that are serious and only care for their domains. However, this not be farther from the truth.

The campers that had engaged in the mission in Maine witnessed this first-hand. They had stumbled upon the hunters of Artemis and Artemis herself, along with a rogue camper. After some time, the goddess Artemis decided to call her brother and ask him to give the demigods and her hunters a lift to Camp Half-Blood. The group waited for a while, as the god of the sun was unusually lazy during the wintertime.

As the sun chariot descended from the sky, everyone (except for Artemis) shielded their eyes from the vehicle. When they opened their eyes, they were greeted with a sports car instead of a traditional chariot. The door of the car opened, revealing a late-teenage boy with blonde hair and shades. He wore a tank top and some shorts, really unusual considering the fact that it was winter.

The presence of the sun god did not have much effect on the hunters, but the campers stood paralyzed at the sight of the god. Especially the black-haired demigoddess, her cheeks blushed a deep crimson red, as she tried to cover her blush with her hands.

"Little sister! You never call, you never write, I was getting worried" The god opened his arms as if he were about to give his twin a big hug

"I literally called you yesterday Apollo. And I'm not your little sister" the goddess of the hunt grumbled

"I'm older than you"

"We're twins! How many millennia do we have to have to argue-"

Apollo put his hand up, making his sister stop her speech, "Wait, I feel a haiku coming up"

"Green grass breaks through snow

Artemis pleads for my help

I am so cool" Apollo bowed, expecting for the demigods and hunters to applaud

"That last verse was only four syllables," Artemis said

"Was it?"

"Yes, how about you change it to 'I am so dim-witted'?"

"No, no, that's six syllables" Apollo continued to think about an alternative for the final verse of his haiku while the lieutenant of the hunt described since when Apollo had such a fascination with haikus.

"I got it! 'I am so awesome' There, five syllables" Apollo looked very proud of himself as scattered applause resounded from the multitude "So what's up? Do the girls need some archery tips from the god of archery?"

Artemis glared at the god "No Apollo. I wanted to ask you to give my hunters and some of Chiron campers a lift to Camp Half-Blood"

"Oh, sure. Let's see who we have here" Apollo pointed towards the black haired dmigodess, "You're Thalia right?"

"Yes Lord Apollo" Thalia said blushing

"Daughter of Zeus, which makes you my little sister. You were also a tree, but now you're not. Thank gods, I hate when pretty girls get turned into trees" Apollo continued to talk, oblivious to the face Artemis made as she got reminded of Daphne, the girl that was tormented so much by her brother that she had no other choice but to beg to be turned into a tree.

"You're Alex" Apollo stayed some seconds looking directly into the Son of Poseidon's eyes "Be careful with those prophecies"

Apollo then walked towards the hunters, looking at them with fake lust as they threw their most disgusted looks towards him. When he turned to his twin, Apollo noticed the boy who ws standing behind Artemis, but apart from everyone at the same time. The boy looked familiar to Apollo, but he oculd not place who the individual was, no matter how hard he tried.

"And you" Apollo stepped in front of the boy "You look familiar, yet I cannot place you. Who are you?"

The boy bowed respectfully towards the gods, something which surprised everyone who was watching the interaction. "My name is Hector Carib Troy, Lord Apollo. It is a pleasure to finally meet you, and I want to sincerely thank you for letting me stay in your cabin during my stay at Camp Half-Blood."

Apollo's eyes widened as he looked towards his sister, who nodded in confirmation. A wide grin appeared on the god's face, as he hugged the boy for the first time since he was an infant. "Gods Hector, I can't believe you're still here. I thought something had happened when you left camp, or that you had betrayed us. You haven't right?"

"Even if I'm not happy with whoever my godly parent is, betraying Olympus is one of the last things on my priority list, Lord Apollo" Hector replied

Apollo ruffled the boy's auburn-brownish hair, "You don't need to call me Lord Apollo. I'm simply Apollo to you, or even better, you can call me bro."

Artemis walked towards the pair and interrupted the conversation, "Apollo, I know you're excited to see Hector, but please do not corrupt him. His current patron would not be at all happy if he were to be corrupted by you."

"Why? Who is his patron?" Apollo asked in curiosity

Artemis looked at her hunters and then at the campers, who were all looking at the sight in amusement "I'll tell you later. Now, can you give them a ride to Camp Half-Blood brother?"

"I hate when you call me brother. It sounds so fake, like if you don't know how siblings talk to each other" Apollo complained

Artemis crossed her arms, "you call me Little sister all the time"

"That's different"

"How so?"

"Well for starters..." the twins began to bickered around like little kids. The campers looked at the scene with wide eyes, as they hadn't imagined the gods to behave like, well, people. Here were two Olympians, two major gods, fighting over something so minimal as to what they call each other.

"Excuse me, Apollo and Artemis, I hate to interrupt here, but I believe we have to get going. Forgive me for intruding in your personal business" Hector said bowing. Both gods stopped their childish fighting and stared at the boy with pride.

"You're right Hector. We should get going. So, campers and hunters, all aboard the SS Apollo, the quickest and hottest method of transportation. Patent pending" Apollo said as he made his sports car turn into a school bus. The hunters entered first, positioning themselves in the back of the bus, while the campers sat in the front.

Both twins looked as Hector got on the bus, watching how much the little boy they once knew had grown into a young man.

"The Queen of Olympus has been looking after him these past two years," Artemis said, her eyes not leaving the bus door.

Apollo's eyes widened as he turned towards his twin "her?! But I thought she hated everyone and everything"

Artemis shrugged her shoulders "Apparently he reminds her of a son of her, who is incidentally his father"

"Why are you acting so weird towards him now? You know he never was cheating, and he will never do so." Apollo asked

Artemis sighed, "I know, but he was hiding so much from me. He was saving the kids of another goddess while he didn't even take a look into our son's life. It was like, once Hector was taken to Camp Half-Blood, all the ties he had with him were cut. I told him to visit him in dreams or something, but he never did anything. He found out that Hector had run away three months after it happened. Three months Apollo. I love my husband, I really do, but I am just so disappointed in him that I'm afraid that I may never look at him the same way I did."

Apollo hugged his sister, feeling his chest get wet from the eyes of the goddess. "Don't worry, Artemis. Everything will be alright, I know it. And Percy cares a lot for his son, even if he does not automatically show it, I know deep inside he cares."

Artemis pushed herself from Apollo's embrace, and wiped her eyes, "Thank you Apollo. You should get going, the inside of that bus may be a war zone right now"

"Yeah, be careful Artemis," Apollo said as he saw his sister run towards the forest. "I know you won't go until you can't see the bus anymore. You care for him too much to do that" Apollo muttered to himself.

The ride to Camp Half-Blood was chaotic, to say the least. The sun god had the grand idea of giving one of the campers the key to the sun chariot, allowing the camper to drive. Unfortunately for everyone, Apollo chose Thalia, since she was a daughter of Zeus and they would be cruising the skies. However, this did not happen in the least.

The daughter of Zeus sped of so much that she almost burnt the east coast of the United States. Fortunately, before she could do any more damage, the god eased her in and the group arrived at Camp Half-Blood in one piece. One by one, the campers and hunters got off the bus, some full-on puking from the bad trip they just had.

Apollo looked at the group and stifled a laugh, as he knew that Artemis would kill him if he knew that her hunters and son had been in any kind of danger.

"Apollo, can I ask you something before you go?" a voice said from behind the sun god. When he turned, he stared at the auburn-brownish-haired boy who had just asked him a question.

"Sure, what is it?" Apollo replied

The boy looked at his hands, his fingers playing with each other in nervousness, "I know that you helped me when I was a baby, and I am extremely grateful for that. But I was wondering, do you know who my godly parent is?"

Apollo opened his mouth to reply, yet no words came out. He could not lie to his nephew, not only because it was wrong but also because he physically couldn't lie. The best he could do was take the advice he had given his sister all those years ago for himself, tell a half-truth and pray that no further questions are asked.

"I only knew of him from the name, but I personally did not know who it was," Apollo said

"Then, can you give me his name at least? I promise I won't bother you anymore after this" Hector begged

"I'm sorry Hector. I truly wish I could tell you, but unless he wants you to know, I am not allowed to do so. But do know this, your parent has been looking over you all these years. Your parent has changed in many ways since your birth, and no matter what you do, your parent will always be proud of you. Now go, I believe you have to apologize to a certain centaur" Apollo said

Hector sighed loudly and nodded his head, "Ok, thank you anyways Lord Apollo"

"Just Apollo"

"Sorry, thank you, Apollo. Hope to see you later again" Hector went walking in the same direction the other members of the group had gone.

"Now off to see your other parent" Apollo muttered to himself as he got into the sun chariot, once it had turned into a sports car.

The house in Orlando that had once been a very happy place now reeked in misery. The plants surrounding it were overgrown, the paint had not been renovated, and the car in the garage had not been moved an inch since at least a year ago. Inside the house sat a man, well, a god to be technical. The god had been moping around for two years, only going out to do his special missions.

Perseus, the god of the tide, time, humor, and many other things sat in his sofa rewatching "White Chicks" for the 12th time that week. Ever since he had the big discussion with Artemis, his wife, his life had been going downhill. He no longer had any motivation to work on his business or do any job, and due to him having a lot of money, the god just stayed in the house doing nothing. He had tried to reconcile with Artemis, but as soon as she found out that he had no idea what had happened to their son, the hopes of a happy future were flushed down the toilet.

He had written her several cards every day, hoping that she would read them and give their love another chance. Six months had passed since then, and as more time passed, the god became even more depressed.

The doorbell rang thrice, and the god of childhood got up from his very comfortable position to answer the door. He opened it, coming face to face with his brother-in-law.

"Dude, you need to shave," Apollo said, inviting himself in the house. Perseus sighed as he closed the door.

"What are you doing here Apollo?" Perseus asked

"What? Is it not possible that I wanted to see my brother-in-law?"

"You and I both know that we're not going to be in-laws for much longer"

"Don't be so negative little brother" Apollo smiled at the god of tides

"What do you want?" Perseus asked, getting tired of the sun god barging into his house

"I just wanted to visit, is that so wrong? I was in the area and remembered you lived nearby, and so I decided to come and share a cup of coffee with you. As far as I know, there is nothing wrong with doing that"

"Apollo, you hate Orlando, and you know that I hate coffee. How you managed to lie there is beyond me, but please just cut to the point. I have a very busy day planned"

"Busy like replaying the same movie all day?" Apollo raised an eyebrow

"It's a good movie" Perseus defended

Apollo turned to look at Perseus in the eyes.

"Percy, do you love my sister?"

Perseus was taken aback by the question

"What?"

"You heard me. Do you love my sister?"

"Is this some kind of trick question? Because I'm really not-"

"Do you fucking love my sister or not!?" Apollo asked angrily

"Yes, I love her" Perseus answered quickly but sincerely

"Would you do anything for her?" Apollo then questioned

"What are you going towards Apollo?"

"Would you, or would you not, do anything for her" Apollo said, taking big pauses between phrases

"Yes, I would do anything for her" Perseus said seriously

Apollo looked at Perseus for a few seconds before nodding in acceptance.

"Good, because in two days we are going to be breaking a great number of Ancient Laws. So shave up and suit up, cause the Bro's are going on their first clandestine business"

"Wait, what's happening in two days?" Perseus asked his brother-in-law

"Can't tell you, sorry. But one thing's for sure, you will help me with the business, alright?"

"Why would I?" Percy crossed his arms

"Because it's for Artemis"
