Thalia (Pov)
As I grabbed the boy off of his dead brother, I couldn't help think about what if this was Jason that was dead and me crying over him. I shook the thought away as I knew Jason and Piper became gods after the war with Gaea. So now if he did die, he would come back to life and I would kill him again for dying.
Anyways, I grabbed the boy off with ease while Lady Artemis struggled to get the girl off with the help of Diana. "Please we can't leave him here we can still help him please!" the girl kept pleading Milady about her brother. Milady just looked at her with soothing eyes and spoke softly to her. "Look um … Emma I'm sorry but your brothers gone now. The best thing I could do was send his body to camp half-blood and make sure they gave him a proper burial"
She spoke. "But-but he's still there I know it! Please if you just help-" she said as a hand flew across her face.

"Your brother's dead and it's a good thing because that means theirs one less male scum in the world" My hunter Atalanta said while retracting her hand. I was FURIOUS. "ATALANTA DON'T YOU DARE HURT HER, JUST FOR THAT YOU ARE ON CHORE DUTY FOR THE NEXT THREE MONTHS" I fumed while changing into my 28 year-old form. I never taught my girls to be so cruel and I will never teach them to be, ever. She quickly lowered her head and scurried away but was stopped quickly. The air around us felt to get moister like a fog, as I turned my head back to Emma I could tell she was the one doing this. "DON'T. YOU. DARE. CALL MY BROTHER A SCUM" She spoke in a tone that would make Hermes shriek and run. Then water formed around Atalanta and quickly engulfed Atalanta in it. I watched in horror as I wondered how powerful this girl is. "Emma stop" I said. Nothing she just kept focusing on drowning my hunter. "Emma STOP" I continued. Nothing. "EMMA STOP NOW YOU'RE GOING TO KILL HER" I Yelled. This time I got an answer. "She said that my brother was mean, when he was the one helping me and Jaiden safe". I felt sorrow for the girl as tears fell down her cheeks. I ran up to Emma and put my arms around her. She began to simmer down and Atalanta was freed from her water prison as she gasped for air. Emma just cried into my shoulder as I held her for a few minutes. I looked at her brothers corpse and made a shroud around it and it flashed away.
I looked to my Lieutenant. "Thalia I need you to watch them while I head to Olympus" I told her. "But Lady-"
"That's an order Thalia" I spoke. She nodded and took the girl from my arms. I stood up and looked to my hunters. "Girls I expect by the time I come back that camp will be set up and that you will not lay a finger on these children. UNDERSTAND" I addressed them. "Yes Milady" I received as I flashed away.

I appeared on Olympus near the council meeting area. I walked inside to find Apollo talking to Hestia. 'Good looks like I don't need to call for him' I thought to myself. "Apollo" I called to him. He turned around and flashed me a bright smile. "Hey sis! What's up? Need anything from your big bro?" he replied. "Um Apollo … there's been an incident with one of your kids" I said slowly letting him process what I said. His smile faded and he sighed. Hestia looked at me and sighed as she flashed away. "Oh, um well which one of my girls was involved?"
"Well it's not one of your daughters it's … one of your sons" I said to him. He looked at me with a stern look. "If one of your hunters killed one of my sons then-" "No nothing of that sort"
I cut him off. I don't want him getting the wrong idea about what happened because he does hold a grudge about stuff like this. "Well when me and my hunt came across a group of monsters we noticed that they were surrounding a demigod and it turned out to be one of your kids" I said. He just looked at me with sad eyes and beckoned for me to continue. "And so well um … anyways he was badly injured after we disposed of the monsters and we couldn't save him" I told him. "Well at least you tried to save him right? I mean I know I have a lot of kids but I still care for them" he said. "Well if that's all thanks Artemis for telling me and I'll be on my way" He said as he turned around. "He also told me to tell you he's sorry for not being able to help his mom" I called out. This made him stop dead in his tracks. "What was my son's name" He told me without even turning around. "Well um-" "what was his name Artemis?" He cut me off. He never calls me by my name, it's always sis or little moon but he only calls me by my name when he's serious. He turned around and looked at me with pleading eyes that looked like they were saying 'please don't be who I think it is'. "His name was Daniel" I told him. He looked like he was about to break down. "No, no-no-no why him? Why?" he said as walked to his throne and sat down with his hands in his face. "Brother … what is wrong?" I asked him. I heard him choke down a sob. "Daniel was one of the first kids I ever had that was nothing like me. At first when he arrived to camp a few weeks after the war with the titans with that satyr Gleeson everyone thought he would be a son of Ares. He never used a bow and always treated girls kindly. Never rude and never tried hitting on them. When he was claimed he was thrilled to know that I was his dad. I was pretty surprised that he didn't argue on why wasn't his dad Ares. Heck he could've past for Mar's kid cause of his humbleness. And so every month or so he went to his mom's apartment to check if she's alright. When I first met his mom I saw a beautiful woman who was proud and selfless. Then when I left she turned bitter and hateful. No matter what harsh thing she did to Daniel, he would always cook her food set her to bed and clean for her. He never stopped doing this for years on end then I heard that she gave birth to two kids that were from a different god. This made him visit his mom more frequently than ever. I felt bad for him and guilty for letting her turn bitter and cold towards her kids. Then after the war with the Giants when we were celebrating I came up to him seeing that he was alone under the stars. We talked and then all of a sudden he asked me for a small request you know what that was?" he asked me. I shook my head. "He asked me to try to visit his mom so I could explain why I had to leave her, when I could and in return I asked him to help his mother to become sane. In truth I never wanted to, but these stupid ancient laws never let me. I never got to visit her and he died feeling guilty about it. I never got to see his mom and now I feel like a jerk again. He turned seventeen last week and I never got to go to any of his birthday parties. I just hope he is in Elysium right now" he finished. I admit he sounded like nothing I would think of. I had only a few tears in my eyes from his story. He just got up and wiped the tears from his face and faced me. "Well I guess I will see you soon sis" I hugged him for the first time in years and started to walk to my next destination. "And sis" I heard him add. I turned around and he flashed me another bright smile "Thank you for telling me" as he flashed away.

I waited in the garden area waiting for him to come. 'Gods where is he? I sent him a I-message thirty minutes ago' I thought as a bright sea-green light flashed in and out came my uncle. "Nephew, sorry I was late I was tending to my son Tyson, he had an arrowhead embedded in his left butt cheek" He explained as I shuddered, hoping he didn't tell him that it was from us. "Well, if I find the person who did this I will punish them harshly. Now … what is it that you called me about?" he finished as I let out a breath of relief. "I know you had two more kids recently" I said. He looked at me wide eyed before returning to his normal face. "Oh please uncle I found the two kids Jaiden and Emma as their brother died. Their currently at my hunter's camp." I stated. He just had a look of worry now and was sweating sea water. 'Eww' I thought. "Artemis please don't send them to camp if Zeus finds out I had other kids than he will have a full blown war against me. Please take care of them anything. I can't take them with me under the sea. If Amphitrite finds out she will inform Zeus and turn against me."
He pleaded. Well that leaves that suggestion out of question. Then I thought back to what Apollo and his son said. "Please take care of them" I heard in my head. Finally I made up my choice. I put a hand on my Uncle's shoulder. "Uncle… I will take care of them but I need your permission to do so" I said. He looked at me with glee and then with a look of confusion. I quickly told him my plan and he looked at me wide-eyed. "Are you sure Artemis?" I nodded. "Well then I give you permission to do so. Goodbye" he said as he flashed away.
I smiled as I turned to flash away

I was in the middle of eating dinner when Milady came back. All the hunters quickly filed in and surrounded her. "Milady your back what has happened?" Stacy asked. "Nothing, just a quick meeting with me and Apollo about his son" 'Oh you mean the cute boy' Wait-WHAT!
Oh please tell me Milady can't read my mind I didn't mean to think of that and I quickly shook the thought away about the son of Apollo. This is why I hate it when my mom gets in my head "Now I have announcement to make, Thalia can you get Jaiden and Emma?" Lady Artemis asked. "Already here" she replied as the two kids came forth. She bent down and started to speak. "Jaiden and Emma, I have spoken with your godly parent which is your father who asked me to make sure you two are safe." She paused then continued. "Which is why I'm asking you two if you would like to become my adopted kids" Milady finished as chaos broke out
