Percy POV
"It is the decree of the council," she began, "that Perseus Achilles Jackson is to accompany the Hunt of Artemis until he is to return to Camp Half-Blood or instructed by an Olympian or the Fates or Chaos to take up a quest. At that time, the council will reconvene and discuss again on this matter."
Why would anyone think it a good idea to send me, a male, to Artemis's Hunt? It is trying to get me killed. I tried to protest and Apollo stopped me, communicating as gods do through thought, that I would need this. He announced to the group;
"I would like to bless Percy with the ability to learn archery once again. It was taken from him at a young age and I will restore it."
And then everything about archery clicked. I knew the pose, the process, the calm. I could be as good as I worked to be.
"And," Hestia said, rising from the fire, "I bless him with the knowledge of cooking and home-building."
Hephaestus stepped forward. "I bless Perseus with a basic knowledge of smithery and forging."
"I, Athena, grant Percy freedom from his genetic dyslexia. He shall be met with greater focus of mind and ease of studying" The wisdom goddess called out. And as each of these blessings were given me, each of the topics made sense. I could not test Athena's gift right now, but I looked forward to seeing if it was true.
I bowed before each of the gods and goddesses. "Thank you for the generous gifts of knowledge my lords and ladies." I said meekly.
I was teleported by Apollo to the campsite of the hunters, about a half mile out. Thank Apollo for time to walk. It is calming. I will walk to the camp and Iris message Thalia ahead of time so that I am not shot on sight. Seems to be a good day. Thalia was excited and so am I. I cannot wait to get there! Of course some hunters will be less than Ideal toward me, but that can be easily overcome with time.
