Percy's POV:
So currently I am on a mission for one of my favourite Olympians. I am supposed to secure a magic Asgardian staff and give it to an organization called S.H.I.E.L.D. So, in the time I am waiting let me introduce myself. The name is Jackson, Percy Jackson. I am the son of Poseidon and I have had a rough three years. Huh, look like I reached here very early, how about I tell you what happened…..
(Cue flashback music) -Flashback- (End of flashback music)
It had been 1 year since Apollo ascended to godhood and in this time, I had decided to get Athena blessing to propose to Annabeth. So, I was given 2 tasks; (a)Gain the trust of the Amazons and best the Queen in 6 months, (b)Live with the Hunters of Artemis, gain their trust and approval within six months. And I set off on this quest.
For the first six months, I was in Seattle, at the Amazon Base. I was told by, my future best friend, Queen Hylla that I had to be able to beat her in combat. But first I hard to train and break the record of an Amazon Warrior whose name is Barbra Morse. I was personally trained by Hylla in daggers, throwing knives, spears, swords, modern firearms, and most shockingly archery! In six months, Hylla and I grew a sibling bond, and she helped me in keeping away all the suitors at the base, *cough*Kinzie*cough*.
Finally, after 6 months of training and breaking the record of Agent Morse; yeah, I learnt she works for the government; and after ACTUALLY HITTING THE TARGET BOARD WITH A BOW AND ARROW, my duel with Hylla began.
For the duel Athena and, for some reason, Artemis was present. Hylla and I fought for 30 minutes before my sword was at her throat. She was one of the toughest people I have had to fight, and I fought the God of War. I thought that my time was over with the Amazons, but I did not know Athena had one last event left. I had to defeat the Minotaur (pfft..easy), the Nemean Lion (I had to rip off my shirt and toss it in its maw), and finally the Hydra (It was the original hydra, so it had nine heads. And like the seaweed brain, I am at sometimes, this was one of those times. I cut off all 9 heads and forgot that there will now be 18. I remembered how that douche, Hercules, killed it so, I ran to one of the flame torches that was burning near the doorway. I grabbed it and would cauterize the point on the neck where Riptide met the head. Man, now that was a tough one.). After defeating the monsters, Hylla came to me and gave me hug and some Ambrosia.
The next day, before I left with Lady Artemis, the Amazons gave me a lot of weapons. [ A special bow and quiver made in Atlantis, a belt with replenishable throwing and hunting knives, two handguns specially made to fire a mixture of Celestial Bronze-Mortal metal bullets (with holsters), and they all have a concealed form: a ring and backpack, a common leather belt, belt clips on either side respectively]
Lady Artemis flashed me to her camp. Before the flash of light even faded, I could hear bows being drawn and armed. After Lady Artemis told everyone why I was here, they all took it shockingly well not even making m swear on the Styx. It then occurred to me that this could also be a test, so before Lady Artemis could dismiss everyone, I made an oath;" I Perseus Jackson, son of Sally Blofis and Lord Poseidon, herby take a solemn oath, not to cause any harm to Lady Artemis and her Hunters, and treat them as my sisters in all but blood. I shall serve them for the defined period of six months. This I swear on the Styx and my honour." Now, this oath left everyone except Thalia dumbfounded, they stared at me as if I told them that I survived a direct hit from Zeus's Master Bolt, only Phoebe and a few other hunters glared at me with hate.
After the whole oath ordeal, Lady Artemis called me into her tent and told me all the chores I would have to do. She also told me if she felt a maiden in distress and if she needed help, she would send me to help and recover them. For the first month, I would get pranked by all the hunters in good spirit. But, after that the pranks became torture (All carried out by Phoebe and the other senior hunters); Shot by arrows while doing their laundry, attacked by wild animals and bear traps. They waited for me every day to give up and go to Artemis to beg for mercy so that I could leave the Hunters, but I loved Annabeth too much to give up. Three months in, Artemis told me to rescue a daughter of Aphrodite who was being ill-treated by her uncle.Her name was Tracy and
we bonded just like how I bonded with my sister Estelle. She and Thalia would try to warn me of the pranks, but I was oblivious to it. On the 4th month, while we were changing camps, Phoebe and her prankster comrades were captured by an army of monsters. The other hunters were too far away for reinforcement so, I freed Phoebe and took out the army and then just collapsed. I was in a coma for a week, I was greeted by all the hunters, and it went kind of like this:
Percy's POV:
After I woke up, with the worst headache ever, I was crushed in hugs by all the hunters and now they all treated me like a brother. So, before everyone left Phoebe came to me and hugged me, figuratively blowing everyone's minds into oblivion. After that Thalia came to me and hugged me while saying," Welcome brother, to the best group on Earth. Love you Percy" "Love you too, Thals. So-" and we all heard a gasp. "Is everyone all right?" I asked. No one said anything so we all left and sleep. The next day onwards I was only pranked at the 'Stoll level' and everything was good. The only problem was that whenever I spoke to Artemis she would always look at me with pity as if something was wrong.
[Time skip: 6 months with the Hunt is over]
After a year of hard work (and becoming an excellent archer) for Annabeth, Athena finally gave me her blessing. But, when she gave me the ring, she had the same look of pity that Artemis had. But I didn't give it a second thought as I was too happy to care. Today there was a Council Meeting to reward the Heroes of the Second Giant War. So, Artemis and Athena told me to propose after the meeting but I wanted to do it now. So, I told them I would meet them at the meeting after I go to the camp and propose.
So I vapour travelled to the Big House. I saw Chiron there and I went to greet him. Instead of replying with a 'Welcome back' or 'Percy my boy' he disappointedly asked, "Why Percy? Why did you do it?" "Chiron, I have done a lot since I was 11. " "I mean why did you break up with Annabeth?" "What! When did I do that?" "She said you cheated on her and broke up 3 months ago." "Chiron I would never cheat on her. I have been with the Amazons and Hunters for the past year getting Athena's blessing to marry Annabeth. See.." I showed him the symbol of the Queen of the Amazons and the symbol of Artemis, and the ring. "Oh" was Chiron's response. "Chiron there is council meeting in some time, I'm going to find Annabeth while you all are flashed to Olympus," I told Chiron before I went to Athena Cabin. "Hey Malcolm, do you know where Annabeth is?" "She is at the beach," he said coldly. I do not know what is happening to everyone. Once I went to the beach, I heard a sound nearby, happy sounds that are definitely NC-17. That is when I heard Annabeth say," Oh come Orion, give it to me!" It came from the place where the sound was coming from. And I lost it.
