Chapter Five
Artemis P.O.V.
I still couldn't believe what had happened. I was so deep in y thoughts I hadn't noticed I arrived at my cabin at Camp Half-Blood. "Milady, will he be alright?" Thalia asked interrupting my train of thought. "I hope so." I answered. Then I had an idea on how to make the hunt respect Percy. "Thalia, can you please gather the hunt in our cabin?" I asked. "Sure thing, Milady." Thalia answered. I started to wonder how the hunters were going to react.
After a few minutes, the hunt was gathered in the cabin. "Why have you gathered us here, Milady?" Chloe, a daughter of Hermes asked. I took a deep breath and said "You need to hear the truth about what happened with Perseus Jackson." There was confusion on the girls' faces. "Isn't he a traitor?" asked Angelica, a daughter of Demeter. There were some nods, but there was a frown on Thalia`s face. I looked her in the eyes and mentally told her 'I got this.' "Girls, listen up very carefully. The memory that Iris showed at the council meeting was fake. It was all a trick by Ryan, son of Zeus. Also, Annabath broke Perseus`s heart." I said softly, but when I said Ryan, it was with more venom than I could imagine. They gasped at that revelation. "A girl broke a boys heart?" Chloe, a daughter of Apollo, said venomously. "That is not possible." Claire, a daughter of Hermes, said. I raised my hand and waited for them to calm down. "I swear on the river of Styx, whatever I just said to my hunters is true." I said calmly. Thunder boomed sealing the oath and the hunters looked at me in shock. They looked unsettled, so I said to them "You don't have to let him into our ranks, just know if we need help and we ask him, he won't betray us. Also, if we should ever betray his trust, we won't gain it back. We will also lose a formidable ally and gain a powerful enemy." I let this settle on the girls. "Now, if he does end up wandering into our camp, give him straight to me or try and talk to him. Thalia can attest that he will not try anything on you and if he does than we can always beat him up." I said while smiling. They all smiled at the prospect of beating up a male. "Now go sleep on what I told you." I said with a small smile on my face.
A few days later
The Hunters and I are now on a mission to track down a bunch of Laistrygonian Giants and take them down before they can cause trouble. We sneaked around the forest where the Laistrygonian Giants was last seen. "Found something." Angelica shouted. We went over to her to see what she found. There were a bunch footprints on the ground, along with golden dust. "Could the dust be the Laistrygonian Giants?" Claire asked. "It's a possibility. This is where they were sighted last." Claire said. "Who could have done this?" Angelica asked. "Well, one of the seven could. Also, one of the gods could as well." Thalia said. "Not exactly." I said. "What do you mean?" Chloe asked. "You see, the gods, are bound to ancient laws, which stops them from hunting wild beasts. I'm less bound to them, because of my domains of hunting." I explained. They nodded in understanding. "That doesn't explain what happened." Thalia said. 'It might be Percy, but he`s still training. So, who could it be?' I thought. "Let's head back. I want to contact someone who might know who is doing this." I said. The girls nodded and we started heading back. 'I wonder how you're doing Percy.' I think.
When we got back to our camp, we go to the fire pit to get warm. We noticed the rest of the hunters were there in a discussion. There was Andromeda, daughter of Demeter, Alexa, daughter of Apollo, Phoebe, daughter of Ares, and Sophia, daughter of Aphrodite. "What are you guys talking about?" Angelica asked. "What is Percy Jackson`s backstory. You know, before all the demigod stuff." Said Andromeda." We looked at each other in confusion and probably with the same thought, 'What is his backstory?'

Mysterious P.O.V.
"BLAZE!" I yelled. "Yes, Milord?" A person in a white karate gi appeared. I sighed because he knew that I didn't like being called lord. "You know you don't have to call me that." I said. He just smirked. I huphed. "What do you need?" He asked. "I need you to go to earth and keep an eye on their savior and find my son." I said. "As you wish, Milord." He said. "I hate you." I said grudgingly. "You love me." He said while smirking. Then he just vanished leaving me to think about my son. I sighed, wishing things would go back to the way things were.

"Papa, Papa!" A young boy about 3 years old quickly ran up to me and hugged me. "What was that for?" I asked after they stopped hugging. "Papa is awesome!" He then giggled and poked me in the nose. I then tickled him. He started laughing and said, "S-s-s-t-t-t-o-o-o-p-p-p i-i-i-t-t-t-t." I slowly stopped while smiling. "Why would I do that?" I asked innocently. "Because Papa love me." He said cutely.

"GENERAL!" I yelled. He came scurrying in. "Yes, sir." He said while saluting. "How are the preparations going?" I asked. "We are almost done, sir." He said. "Very well, keep going." I said. "Sir, yes, sir." The general said and then he left to continue his job. 'Hold on, my son.' I thought.
