Chapter 2
A/N: I have been told that the names William and Perseus don't work well together, I am fully aware of this and have made it this way for a reason. Hopefully later you will understand, but for now I have a short explanation. Perseus means the destroyer, while William means determined protector. I felt that his name fit like that because of his fatal flaw of loyalty and how he becomes a demon on the battlefield, and as such is the destroyer of his enemies and determined protector of his friends and family.
A/N: I have also been told that the name William doesn't make sense in the time period. The reason it is like that is because this is fiction and I am the writer and I decided to make it like that for the reasons above. But thank you for your comments and I will try to keep things in the correct time period in the future.
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson or anything to do with the Franchise. I also make no money writing this story.
Years later
I have now made allies with Atlas and Nemesis, the goddess of revenge, while convincing Pan and Hestia to stay neutral with any matters concerning me, by saying that I would do my best to keep the wild from dying and explaining who I was and what happened to me. Of cource it's been awhile since I left home and at this point I look like I have barely aged a year, with me lowering my aging process down to 0.1 of the normal mortals.
I am currently wandering through the forest, pondering who to ally myself with next, while flooding the forest with the power of wild life, which was easy especially since Pan gave me slight power over it.
I was snapped out of my ponderings when I heard the pull of the string on a bow, I scanned for where the noise was coming from, but saw nothing. Until suddenly an arrow went through my left calf and out stepped the mystery archer with another arrow loaded and pointed at my head and asked demandingly "What male dares trespass on the outskirts of The Hunt's camp?"
"The What's what? What do you mean 'the Hunt' and I don't see any camp so how am I trespassing on it?" I asked
"Answer me male, before you get an arrow through your eye." she said angrily
"I'm still confused, but my name is Perseus and I was just passing through." I said not wanting to get an arrow through an eye.
"Perseus, like the son of Zues," I growled at the comparison to my brother and she let the arrow fly. But, I was quick enough to dive to the side exposing my ichor soaked calf to the sunlight. She was surprised to see that I had ichor and forced herself to say "Forgive me, but I was not aware of there being another god in the area. My name is Artemis and I am the the goddess of maidenhood and The Hunt."
My eyes went wide as I realised that I had messed up and revealed myself to one of my siblings, but I recovered quickly and said "I forgive you, but is there somewhere away from prying ears that we could speak of something." she nodded in response and signalled me to follow her.
LINE BREAK
As we walked to her tent I got glares from about every girl in the camp. When we entered she immediately sat at her desk which was faced towards the entrance, so from my view point it looked like an interview, when it was more likely to be an interrogation. I waited for her to speak, but too late realised that she was waiting for me to speak, so a silence washed over us. Until the door to the tent opened and the opener spoke saying "Lady Artemis, the girls said that you brought a filthy male in he-. Perseus?"
"Zoë, what are you doing here?" I asked recognizing her.
"Perseus, how do you know my lieutenant?" she asked while glaring at me.
"I met her when I visited Atlas, sometime ago. But, Zoë what are you doing here and Artemis what do you mean lieutenant, because Atlas would not be happy hearing that," I asked.
"What are you doing here," Zoë retorted.
"I happened to be walking through the forest, then out of nowhere I got an arrow through my calf," then pointing to the arrow sticking out of my calf, "As you can see. Then imagine my surprise when I found out the person who shot me was Artemis, the goddess of maidenhood, The Hunt, and my very own little sister," I said finishing off with a bit of attitude.
When I said the last two words Artemis was surprised and then angrily shouted "Apollo, I am not your Little sister."
I of course replied with an "Did I say I was Apollo," not letting her answer I continued on, "My name is Perseus, the first born of Hera and Zeus. The one who was banished and forgotten from Olympus because dear ol' dad couldn't stand my mother's vision for me."
She was of course flabbergasted and so I went on to explain what happened to me and when I finished she said "How do I know what you said is true?" I swore on the river Styx and then she continued on to say "I knew our father was bad, but I didn't know he was this bad!"
