She looked at her father and said, "I have agreed to your decision of having a male guardian father. But I would like to choose my guardian myself, and I have the perfect man for the job. Though I'm afraid he hasn't been spotted in years." Artemis gave her father the smile, that she knew he couldn't refuse her wish.
Zeus nodded, anything to keep his daughter safe, "You tell me who is this person and I would have every God in my disposal searching for him."
Artemis smirked as she looked around; most were confused and leaning forward to learn of the man Artemis had chosen herself. Except Hestia, the goddess of hearth, was smirking along with her; she must've guessed Artemis' choice.
"Oh you don't have to that father. I believe Poseidon already knows his location, after all he is his son." Artemis smiled widely as their eyes widened, "I want Percy Jackson to be my Guardian."
Third Person Pov
The council turned to look at Artemis incredulously, in the entire wide world she had to name the one man that wasn't afraid of them. Most of them were too afraid to even ask the demigod for help anymore.
Zeus turned to look at Poseidon, "I know your son has refused to come in contact with anyone for the last 5 years, but I have no choice but to ask brother. Is there any chance that he would come out of hiding now?"
Poseidon scratched the back of his neck nervously, a trait that reminded most of them of Percy. "I don't know, he doesn't allow anyone except his mothers, Triton and I to even step on his island."
"Wait his Island?" Thalia asked, blinking; even Reyna, Artemis and her hunters were shocked to hear it. Percy had an island of his own?
"Yes, when he left 5 years ago, in his rage he ignited a dead volcano, and an island was created. Triton, Amphitrite and I helped make the island hospitable. He has been living there ever since." Poseidon said, and their eyes widened comically. He created an island in his rage? Just how powerful was he getting.
Thalia stepped forward and bowed to Poseidon, "Can you tell us where this island is Lord Poseidon? My Lady and we will go to ask him personally." She pleaded to the sea god, she had searched day and night for her cousin. And now to know that he is living isolated from civilization, alone on an island, made her frown. Percy was the most charismatic person she had ever met; he thrived with other people. She didn't want him to live isolated, and to die alone one day.
Reyna and Artemis nodded. Reyna might not have known him for long, but she didn't want him to live alone anymore. Artemis remembered the broken look on his face when he left. He was not the once careless demigod fighting his way to stay alive. He was an empty shell of his former life.
Poseidon shook his head, "Yeah how about No. His Island is inhabited with animals of the wild, now forgotten. They will rip you apart the moment you try to step in, and if you manage to kill them. Percy would kill you himself, the monsters, and animals are the only friends he has right now. He is very protective of them, even I'm afraid to go to his Island, without his permission."
The council of gods eyes widened; they couldn't believe that even Poseidon was afraid to step on Percy's Island without permission. Poseidon was the son of Kronos, probably the strongest of the big three. If he was afraid to go there, they weren't even going to try.
Artemis, and her hunters had the opposite reaction. They were people who lived in the wild, and there weren't any wild places left out in the world. They would do anything to get the chance to see the Island for themselves.
"What is his Island like? What creatures are there?" Artemis asked, like a little child. She was the goddess of the wild. Ever since her friend Pan the god of the wild, had vanished, the wild animals were nowhere to be seen.
Poseidon smiled, "It is like Pan himself had given breath to the Island. Animals and birds long ago extinct roam there, dodo birds, passenger pigeon, great auk, dragons, hellhounds, wolves, Irish elks, I think I even saw a saber tooth tiger there. Anyway, these are just a few of the creatures there. The Island is a paradise in itself." Poseidon said, smirking at the drooling expression of the hunters.
Artemis wished that she could see the Island for herself; she would have to ask Percy herself for a visit.
Zeus looked at Poseidon and asked, "How are we going to reach him then?"
Poseidon looked at Hestia, silently asking her a question, "Only his mothers can reach him."
"Wait I thought his mother had been killed after the war?" Aphrodite asked, she remembered Percy going after the Titans for revenge.
Hestia cleared her throat, and they looked at the goddess poking at the hearth. She made her way to her throne, "After Percy situated himself in his Island, Amphitrite and I adopted him."
Zeus looked at his elder sister annoyed, "Why didn't you tell me this before?" His paranoia could be seen clearly as he glowered at his sister.
The hearth in the room blazed, and the fire in Hestia's eyes flared up, "Do you tell your wife of every child you sire little brother? I can adopt any one I wish to, and if you even dare to lay a hand on my son, I will burn Olympus to the ground. I will show you why I'm the eldest child of Kronos and Rhea." Hestia snapped in such a fiery tone, that even people outside the throne room could feel her rage.
The children of Kronos covered in their sister's rage as they looked at her with wide eyes. She had never shown such fury, even against their father; and she hated him with all her being. Percy must have meant a lot to her, to threaten to burn the entire mountain for him.
Zeus nodded furiously at his eldest sister. He had forgotten about how his sister reminded him of his mother when she was angry. Hestia was the most powerful child of Kronos, and Zeus gulped thinking of what his sister would do to him, if he stepped out of line.
Hestia nodded pleased with the effect she had on her brother; she turned to say, "Wait here, I'll get him here."
Artemis spoke before Hestia could go, "Can I come along too? I would like to see this paradise that even Poseidon is entranced of."
Hestia shook her head at her niece, "My son is very picky with allowing people in his house. You would have to ask him permission to visit yourself." She said, and vanished into flames.
Thalia, and Reyna waited impatiently for their lost friend to return. He was a living legend, in both the demigod camps, and in the hunter's camp. The demigod who took down, Titans, Giants, traversed through Tartarus. He was the leader of both Roman, and Greek forces. He was the only male the hunters had ever heard their mistress speak highly of, almost dreamily.
A flash of light occurred in the middle of the throne room, and when it died down. There stood Percy Jackson, the myth, the legend. He was… getting his ears pulled by Hestia?
"Alright, I will hear their request. Seriously mom. I'm a big boy. It's embarrassing." Percy said, getting Hestia's hand away from his ear. Hestia smiled and kissed his cheek, and went back to her throne.
Thalia felt her heart skip a beat looking at him. He wasn't the goofy teenager she remembered. Percy grew taller than before; he was almost 6'4" with a chiseled body that looked like it was carved in marble. His hair was long, braided in a pony tail; if his hair was free it would've reached his shoulder. He had a beard running in his face, which made him look all the more powerful.
Reyna, Artemis, and the hunters could only watch as the man who would've given Adonis a run for his looks, looked up. His sea-green eyes are as gentle and kind as ever. His aura, however, was powerful, almost as strong as the big three. Even in a room full of gods, this mortal was arguably the most powerful one.
"So who do I have to kill for disturbing my peace?" Percy asked smirking, as he saw the gods pale a bit.
"That would be me," Artemis leaned forward from her throne and answered.
Percy turned to Artemis and smiled, "What would you need from a male MY 'Lady?"
Artemis looked at her hunters, and answered, "Recently the monster sighting has increased, and they are traveling in far greater numbers. My hunters and I, as ashamed am I to say this, are getting overwhelmed. Today, we were fighting against them, when three of my hunters fell dead to them, while many were injured…"
Artemis didn't get to finish her sentence, as Percy moved faster than the gods could see. In an instance he was in front of Thalia, his hands on her cheek as he looked over to see any injuries, "Are you hurt?" Percy growled, he hadn't seen her in a long time, and the first time they meet she is hurt.
Thalia's eyes widened; she had never seen Percy this intense. She felt butterflies in her stomach, as he looked over at her for injuries, "N…No I'm fine Percy, just sore." She answered, and Percy moved to Reyna doing the same checking. Upon Reyna's insurance that she was fine, Percy walked back to the middle of the throne.
Artemis continued when Percy stood still, "Lord Zeus, has ordered us to get a male guardian for the hunt's security. You're the only man I trust to be around. Would you accept to be the Guardian of the hunt?"
Percy looked over to Thalia, and Reyna. Upon seeing them nod, he said, "I accept."
"Now you will be made into a God." Zeus said smirking.
Percy backed away, "Wait when did I agree to become a god?"
Zeus and the Olympians laughed, "Why would we get a mortal as Artemis' Guardian? You would have to become a god, to protect after the hunters. Don't worry though, you would be free of the ancient laws as you are to be in the mortal world."
Percy looked at his father and mother. Both Poseidon, and Hestia nodded at him, telling him to accept. When Percy saw their approval, he nodded.
The Olympians stood up to grant him godhood, when Olympus shook with such power that the gods choked on their breath. A large portal appeared in the middle of the throne room, and out walked a tall, beautiful woman. Her skin was glistening, like stars were shining. Her eyes held the universe in them. She smiled, and the gods could breathe again.
The Olympians saw this and immediately kneeled. Percy's and the hunters' eyes widened; they had never seen the gods bow to someone, let alone kneel. Whoever it was must have been really powerful. They soon followed and kneeled.
The woman looked at them, "Rise." She said the only word, and they all complied. Her words were laced with power.
"It's an honor to be in your presence again, Lady Chaos." Zeus said, and bowed again. Percy and the hunters gasped; the woman in front of them was the creator herself.
"I wish I could say I was pleased to be in your presence, but I can't. Your very essence is polluted with jealousy, and paranoia." Chaos said, without even looking at Zeus. Zeus shrunk down at his throne, while his brothers snickered at him.
"I am here to personally turn this young demigod, into a god." Chaos said, and their eyes widened. Chaos hadn't given any being domains after she had created the Primordials.
Percy stuttered as he asked, "E..Ex..Excuse me?"
Chaos chuckled at his freaked-out expression, "You didn't think that the hardships in your life were for nothing. You have gone through many tests in your life, all of which led to this. Now come forward and kneel."
Percy looked at his father nervously. Poseidon was jumping up and down on his throne in excitement. He motioned Percy to go ahead.
Percy slowly walked in front of Chaos and kneeled. Chaos raised her hand and a powerful beam of rays shot at him. Percy screamed in pain, and when the pain felt too much, he passed out.
Percy woke up in the middle of the throne room to see everyone looking at him in concern. He stood up to see the fates, and Chaos were standing by his side. Chaos motioned the fates and they came forward.
"All Hail Lord Perseus, god of Time, Earth, Tide, Liquids, immortality, honor, loyalty, Wild, Wolves, oaths, desire, love, lust, sex, pleasure, harem, arousal, procreation, dominance, authority, justice, law, council, weapon, trust. Lord of five rivers of underworld, Guardian of Hunt, Master of Fates, Head of Justice, the Fifteenth Olympian. Your sacred animals are dragons, wolves and hellhounds." The fates announced and flashed away.
Percy looked at Chaos in horror, as the rest of the people looked at Percy. He was the most powerful god to ever exist, as strong as a Primordial.
Percy screeched at Chaos, "How in the fuck did I get Sex, Harem, and pleasure as my domains? I'm still a virgin."
Artemis and her hunters looked at him in shock; a man of his stature, power and fame, still a virgin, surprised them.
Chaos smirked and said, "All deserved though."
Percy turned to the gods, to see them gob smacked. A sea-green and gold throne rose at the end of the left row of thrones. The throne had carvings of animals, and dragons.
"What do I do now?" Percy asked, and the gods face palmed. Chaos told him to sit upon his throne.
Again, confused Percy asked, "How?"
This time even the hunters laughed at him, "Go forward, and imagine yourself growing. Don't worry, you will learn everything related to godhood in a few hours." Poseidon explained to his son.
Percy took his seat and looked around; he immediately felt a rush of power and knowledge.
"How can I trust a god of sex with my hunters?" Artemis asked, sounding less worried, more confused.
Percy looked at her in shock, "I'm not going to rape any of your hunters Artemis. I swear upon the creator."
Artemis and the gods, turned to look at him. "Why would you swear on the creator's name son?" Hestia screeched at her son.
Percy looked at his mother and answered, "I may look stupid mother, but I'm not. I'm the god of immortality, and oaths, normal oaths won't work for me. I am now also the Lord of Styx, she cannot hurt me. The only viable option to show Artemis, that I mean no harm to her hunters was an oath in the creator's name."
Athena and the rest of the council had their jaws dropped. He thought so far, before even they could.
Chaos smirked, there was a reason she had taken a personal interest in this god. She turned to Artemis and explained, "While he is the god of sex, and pleasure, you must realize that he is also the god of honor, loyalty, and trust Artemis. He won't hurt your hunters."
Artemis and her hunters nodded. Percy was the most trustworthy person they knew.
Chaos turned to Percy and said, "Some gifts from me." She gave him two weapons. A scepter with an hourglass on it, and a trident, both weapons were startlingly silver. Something that drew Artemis' attention; she loved everything silver. Chaos looked at Percy's eyes and explained, "The scepter is for your domain of time, it will help you get better control of that domain. The trident, is as a sign that you're a son of the seas. The scepter was given to you by the Primordial of Time Chronos, and the Trident is a gift from Pontus, and Thallasa. Both weapons are your weapon of power, made by chaotic silver; the strongest metal in all of creation."
Chaos explained and everyone present were wide-eyed. Three Primordial had sent personal gifts for him. Poseidon eyes the trident drooling, he was proud of his son.
"Now a last personal gift from me," Chaos said, and was about to continue when Percy interrupted, "You have already given me much My Lady."
Chaos smiled at him and winked, "You are going to love this." Before Percy could ask what she meant. The middle of the throne room glowed, and when it died down, 6 girls stood there.
Zoe Nightshade, the late lieutenant of Artemis.
Bianca Di'Angelo, Artemis' hunter and daughter of Hades.
Silena Beauregard, daughter of Aphrodite.
Emily, Amber, and Atlanta, the hunters that died earlier this day.
Artemis hopped off her throne and rushed to her hunters that were dead. Thalia, Reyna, Phoebe and the hunters following behind. They cried and hugged each other, when everyone was finished.
Aphrodite, too teary-eyed, welcomed her daughter.
Percy got down from his throne and moved toward the girls that Chaos had just brought into the land of living. Artemis immediately, moved and hugged Percy, followed soon by all her hunters present. Percy felt lightheaded from all the hugs, he was getting.
Percy hugged Silena, and turned to Chaos. Chaos saw his questioning look and answered, "Silena has agreed to be the first to join your harem as a concubine.'
Percy's eyes widened; he turned to Silena, but before he could say anything she put a finger on his lips. "Charlie has gone for rebirth, My Lord. I have accepted my place as your concubine, please don't reject me." She said, looking down.
Percy held her chin up and hugged her again, "I would never reject you Silena." He turned to the hunters, "been a while Zoe and Bianca."
Both girls smiled brilliantly, and thanked him for being alive again. Followed by the three hunters that died earlier today.
Chaos looked at Percy, smiling, "Well My job here is done, if you ever need help pray to me."
With that Chaos vanished.
Line-Break
Artemis and Percy had taken the now healed hunters and got themselves to the hunters camp. Artemis explained how Percy was now going to be the guardian of the hunt. There were some objections that soon died down when Zoe, explained to them that they could trust Percy. Artemis, Thalia, and Reyna also inputted their approval of Percy, which helped them accept the new god.
"So what do I have to do Artemis?" Percy asked, looking at her.
Artemis smirked and answered, "You can start next week, right now I think you have a girl you need to tend to. Enjoy your weekend."
Percy and Silena blushed and looked down, soon they vanished in a breeze of wind. Not noticing the jealous looks they were getting from Thalia, Reyna, Bianca, and Zoe.
