The dream changed, I saw Artemis, she and the hunters were just reaching the base at the Mountain of Despair. Good, now I just to get up and head over there. Easy.
When I woke, I stretched and shadow traveled to Artemis, Artemis is the one that never gets startled when I pop out of nowhere, but the hunters? They always either scream a little or just freak out when I do that. "Dammit Wyatt!" Thalia yelled, I smiled, "It's not my fault you get scared easily. Plus I didn't mean to do it, always remember me or you'll end up getting scared all the time." I grinned widely.
Artemis groaned, "enough, we have work to do, a lot of work."
I gulped, "Sorry, uh...What are we going to be doing?" I asked.
She smirked, "First off, set up camp, we'll be here a while. And second, you get to take me for a flight again." she seemed to be a little too happy about this.
I nodded anyway. "Alright, but how will we know you hit them?" that was a dumb question to ask a goddess, "If you know anything about gods or goddess's, we never miss when it matters."
Once we set up camp, I put my arms around Artemis's waist and flew upwards. I guess this was new to her too, because she asked me what I was doing when we got in the air. "Making sure I keep you still."
I probably shouldn't have said it like that, it sounded so weird. Good thing Artemis didn't see it like I did. "Fine." Although she did seem to hide her face, well try at least. "Okay, tell me when to stop." I told her and looked at ground and then I looked up at her again, I did not realize this, but her hair never changes nor does it come undone. I guess she really did just want to mess with me, when she asked me if I wanted to take a bath with her when she went into that lake that one time.
"Stop." She ordered, I almost didn't hear her. "Got it." I said and stopped. I stayed as still as I could. After about ten seconds, she fire a single arrow which turned into at least three dozen arrows in mid air. "Whoa...Awesome." I said with admiration, "You're amazing, I'm glad I get to stay with you forever."
Again Artemis tried hiding her face, but I saw the color of her cheeks turn a light shade of pink. "I know I am." Her voice faltered, "Why does he torture me?" She mumbled to herself. I think she thought I didn't hear her, but I don't torture her...And If I was, than it is because she tortures me.
We waited three seconds and then we saw the arrows disappear, "Alright, that's our Que." I told her.
She nodded in agreement, "Put us down."
When we touched the ground we quickly broke camp, and then we moved away for a few hours, "I think that's long enough, but this time we don't set up camp, because they'll have already sent scouts. But they'll probably be waiting for us to attack and then make their move, if they're far, we can easily move to another spot." I said.
Most of the hunters agreed. "Alright then, does anyone want to try and take a shot?" Artemis asked, no one rose their hand but me. "I know I said I don't want to use a lot of my power, but...I really want to try and figure out how to use your powers, they are so awesome!" I shouted happily.
Artemis shrugged, "It doesn't hurt to try."
I smiled widely, "Nice."
Within ten seconds, I was about two hundred feet in the air, getting ready to fire my arrows, but then I got an idea. "I hope they still don't like fire..." In an instant, Bianca's face appeared and disappeared. Not now...
I took aim and got ready to let my arrow loose, I'm pretty sure I can do what Artemis did, hopefully more arrows will come out though...As for the fire...I'm not ready..." I let the arrow fly, nothing happened for three seconds, but then it split into a dozen arrows, and then it did it again and again, and again, untill there was at least a hundred and fifty arrows flying towards the mountain, "Whoa..." I watched in amazement.
I surprise myself sometimes...Well actually all the time now.
'I got to admit, that's pretty cool.' The other me said.
Thanks.
'No prob.'
I made my way quickly to the others, They were watching me in awe. "Wow." One of them said.
"Damn right." Thalia told her.
"Not bad." Artemis smiled approvingly at me. I really am awesome, aren't I? No need to cheer, although it would be cool if you did, but all kidding aside, that was FREAKING awesome! I want to learn how to use the rest of my powers!
I know I can control all of it, well...After I fix my little problem with fire, then for sure I'll control all my powers without fail. As I was admiring myself, Artemis told us to hide, "I'm sure, the arrows came from this direction, and I can small a strong demi-god!" A monster said angrily at another monster.
The other one snarled, "There is nothing here you idiot! Now we have to report back without anything to tell Lord Kronos!"
The one that was talking before died inside, "Not good..."
"Gee, you think!?" The yelled sarcastically.
After that they went off in another direction, "Alright, since they're looking for us, we have to set up camp away from here." And she looked at me, "Sorry Wyatt, but you have to shadow travel all of us."
I sighed, "I'll be asleep for a week for taking that much people, are you willing to wait that long?" I asked Artemis, she raised her eyes brow, "You think we can't manage without you?"
I shook my head, "No. I mean yes...Damn, look I know you can do everything without me, but all I'm saying is that if I fall asleep, you all have to look after me, make sure nothing attacks me."
Everyone didn't quite sit well with my idea, but they nodded, "Alright then, everyone grab someone, and when everyone has grabbed on, we'll go...Caution, this ride can make some people barf if they're not ready. So brace yourselves!" I yelled and laughed, everyone's eyes went wide and looked at Artemis, "He's right, unfortunately." she said and looked angry. "I still don't like this shadow traveling thing, but it was my idea, so I can't complain."
I smiled widely, "Any objections? No? Good."
Once everyone was ready and had someone to hold onto, I shadow traveled, when it was complete, I felt all the power in me drain rapidly, I stumbled forward, Artemis caught, "You weren't kidding." She said in surprise. I looked up slowly, "I don't...Kid about my powers..." I felt so sleepy.
My eyes were closing, "I'll watch him first, the rest of you set up camp."
In my dream, I saw Percy again, he was still on Calypso's island, they were having dinner. I quickly noticed they were being served by invisible servants, now that's pretty cool. Anyway everything was going just swell, but then they gazed into each others eyes, that is a bad sign, because Percy already has Annabeth...I think, and that's not fair to Calypso...Because no one can stay with her, although I probably can. But I don't have any romantic feelings for her at all. I think of her as a sis-
Sister...I have to talk Bianca in the underworld...That is not something I can't do right now...But I will have to do it someday.
I'm thinking about having maybe five more chapters...? Maybe or make it seven more, so it's a even number, 40 chapters.
Thanks for reading!
Rilurz!
