Review:"But for now, let's start on your weapons training." He then said with an evil grin. I gulped and with that my training started.
Percy P.O.V.
It`s been 5 weeks since I started, well, 25 weeks in this world. According to Blaze, it's been 5 weeks in the real world. I have finally mastered both fire and water powers, along with how to use a bow and arrow. I must admit, it`s actually fun to use. Turns out, Apollo cursed the children of Poseidon to never be able to use a bow. Blaze found out that if I use a bow at night it will be as if the curse never existed. So, I can`t wait to tell Artemis about what Blaze found out, that way she can gloat to Apollo, as revenge for me and dirt for Apollo. Speaking of Artemis, whenever I have free time, I usually think about her. Her luscious red hair, beautiful silver eyes, and the pale skin that seems to glow in the moonlight. Blaze teases me about it all the time when he found out about my crush. Now, I'm waiting for Blaze to come back from telling the camp of my innocence and friends about why I haven't called them.
Suddenly, a pillar of flames appeared. Blaze appeared from it, while smirking. "Drama queen" I muttered. "Sorry, but that`s thunder butt`s job. I`m thunder prince`s uncle." He said while smirking. I just shook my head at his antics. "You are now ready to go out and save the people who can`t save themselves." I could only nod. "Well, it's been fun." I said sadly. "Don't worry, you`ll see me again. But under much more dire circumstances." He said seriously. I was confused by his words. "What do you mean?" I asked. "You`ll know when the time comes." He said gravely. With that cheery note, he then burst into flames and disappeared. I grumbled to myself about how he just leaves me places and then mist traveled to the beach of Montauk.
When I arrived, I enjoyed the scent of the ocean and just enjoyed the fresh ocean air. After a couple of minutes, I walked towards the empty cabin at the end of the beach. When I arrived it still looked as dusty as the day I left. I sighed and went around the back. When I got there, my mood changed from pure happiness to a mournful mood. There two simple gray, tombstone that said, Here lies, Sally Jackson, a loving mother and wife and Here lies, Paul Blofis, a loving step-father and husband. I sighed and said, "Well, I'm back from training. Pretty soon I`ll be busy taking care of kids that were beaten and raped like me. When I'm doing that I won't be able to visit as often as before. I just wanted to say, I miss you and I love you." I was crying at the end and was on my knees.
Suddenly there was a pair of slender hands wrapped around my neck. I wiped my eyes and looked to see who it was. The person had mousy brown hair and looked to be eight years old. "Who are you?" I asked. "You don't know you`re own mother?" She said. I immediately recognized her and hugged her for all its worth. "You can let it all go." She said soothingly. I then started sobbing. While I was crying, she said soothing words to me. After what seemed like forever, I stopped crying. "Can you promise me something?" I asked her. "Anything." She replied. "Don't leave me." I said. "I swear, on the river of Styx, to never leave you." She swore. I smiled and said "Thank you. You don't know what this means to me." She just gave a knowing smile and said "Are you ready to get started?" I nodded, but said "Can I call my friends and dad first?" She smiled and nodded. I got up and started walking to the surf, when Hestia (mom) stopped me. "I could call them here, so you could see them at the same time." She said. "Can we do it in front of the cabin, not her? I don't feel like explaining what happened to them." She nodded and walked to the front of the cabin. I gave one last look to the two graves before I went around to the front. "They`ll be here in a couple of minutes." Mom said. I nodded and said "I`ll tell you all about my training later." She just smiled and "Don't worry about it."
After a few minutes, there were a couple of flashes that would have blinded me, if I hadn't closed my eyes. Before I could open my eyes, I felt something crash into me. I opened my eyes to see auburn hair. I blushed in, when I realized out who it was. "Hey, Artemis." I said softly. "I missed you." Artemis said. I heard someone chuckle. I looked up to see Thalia smirking."What`s so funny?" I asked. "Nothing." She said sweetly. I raised my eyebrow in return. She just continued smirking. "Hey son." Dad (Poseidon) said. "Hey dad." I said. "How has things been?" He said. "Things have been nice. I did a lot of training and finally managed to learn how to use a bow." I said excitedly. Artemis finally broke away from the hug and looked at me confusingly. "Finally?" She asked. "Yeah, I completely sucked at archery." I said. "It couldn't be that bad?" Artemis said disbelievingly. "Trust me, it was so bad, that there is a sign that said 'No Percy Allowed' at the archery range. I said. "So how`d you get better?" Thalia asked. "I practiced at night time." I said simply. "What does that have to do with anything?" Chloe asked. "When the Orion fiasco happened, Apollo placed a curse on the son of Poseidon's, to not be able to do archery. So Blaze figured, why not see who is stronger; Artemis or Apollo. It turns out, that Artemis is stronger." I said. "And?" Said Angela. "Every time I practiced Archery, it was during the day time. Every time it ended in disaster. When I trained at night, it seemed like I was able to do archery." I asked. Artemis just smirked and said "Hah! Take that Apollo."
"Anyways, how have things been with the hunt?" I asked. "Things have been going great. We managed to get two more recruits." Artemis said excitedly. I raised my eyebrow in amusement. "How`s that working out for you?" I asked. "Pretty good." She replied. I just patted her head to try and calm her down. Everyone froze, I realized what I had done. "Why did you do that?" Artemis asked. "I don't know." I managed to stutter out. She narrowed her eyes. She then said, "Turn around." "Huh?" I said. "Don't make me say it again." She practically growled. I turned around because I didn't want to anger her. There was a low glow for a few seconds, "Okay, you can turn around now." She said. When I did, I saw the literal definition of beauty. The luscious red hair that went down to her small of her back, the pale skin that seemed to glow, the silver-yellow eyes, and curves that are in the right place.
3rd P.O.V.
"Wow." Machai said. Artemis looked down, while blushing. What Artemis and Machai didn't notice was the knowing grins between everyone else. "So, are you ready to do this?" Hestia asked. Machai nodded, but didn't take his eyes off Artemis. "Alrighty. Stop looking at your crush, and go to this location." Hestia said while smirking. She gave a piece of paper to Machai. Machai blushed, while Artemis` blush deepened. Machai could only nod. He looked at the piece of paper, nodded, and said, "Well, got to go." Machai gave a hug to his adopted mom, and gave a hug to his father, waved to the hunters, and said to Artemis, "I guess I'll see you soon." He gave her a hug and fire traveled away.
"Is it true that you have a crush on Percy, milady?" Chloe asked. Artemis said softly, "Yes. One more thing girls." The hunt looked at Artemis. "He goes by Machai now. So when we are talking to him in front of other people call him Machai please." "Then, we, the hunt, shall support you all the way." Thalia said. "Is this true?" She asked, while looking at the rest of the hunt. They all nodded. "Thank you." Artemis said, with a watery smile. "Hestia, where is Percy? I wish to go see him again." Artemis said. Hestia smirked and said, "You`ll have to wait to see him because he is busy right now." Artemis sighed and said "Fine. Hunters, move out!" They nodded and started moving out. "I'll see you later." Artemis said. Poseidon nodded and vapor travelled away. "I`ll let you know when Percy is ready to have the hunt in the house." Artemis said, "Thank you." Hestia just nodded and fire travelled away. Artemis quickly sighed and jogged to catch up with the hunt.
