Chapter - 7 : The Angle Avenges The Moon
I Woke up from a dreamless sleep to hear 2 voices, but 3 presences near me; Zeus, apollo but i did not knew who the third was as she was hidden behind Zeus and Apollo as they were arguing. "But, fatherhood can you let that bastard go unpunished?!" Screamed a sweet and a little ( mind me, very little) bit bitchy voice demanded. I recognized it as Lady Artemis.
"I understand your concern, daughter. But trust me I cannot do anything about it as the ancient laws forbid me, as we are the ruling council. And I will talk to you later as I belive someone is listening, aren't you Perseus? " Zeus winked at me as I opened my eyes.
"Lord Zeus, if I may ask, then what has happened?" I asked them curiously.
But before Zeus or Apollo could respond, Artemis spoke to me, "Octavian happened. That bastard legacy of my brother managed to kill 3/5th of my almost 110 hunters. Now only 40 or so live. I asked father to punish him but, high king says that the ruling council cannot kill a mortal unless the mortal challenges the council, as the ancient laws forbid it."
Uhhh! Why did that power hungry dog had to that to my goddess? Wait, wait, wait! What?! Why did I said my goddess ? I can't be thinking about Lady Artemis that way!
I quickly stabled myself and asked my company, "well , does it prevent a titan?" No one hurts my friends and family and gets away with it.
Apollo and Zeus understood what I was saying and Apollo warned me,"perseus, don't u dare do it!" But I didn't care as I had already fixed my body with my time powers and was walking to the Roman fortifications. I teleported there and saw the limp and tortured body of Octavian, being binded by chains and gurded by lupa herself along with 5 campers who were looking at me and then saluted me. I frowned at them. Than it struck me that I was still their prateor. I dismissed them along with lupa. They went to their diffrent duties. There was a blinding light and Apollo and Artemis were besides me. Artemis was disgusted at seeing him and Apollo looked disappointed.
I willed the time to flow back so I could torture him again, more painfully. I punched him in the gut and his eyes opened to face me. "Go away with your virgin bitch goddess, Gracia scum." He spat.
That was enough. I was done with him. I chose the biggest punishment for him that I could think of. I looked at Lady Artemis and beckoned her to come closer. She came to me and I tapped the wrist watch to get malestrom in my hands. I asked Artemis to watch and cut his genetials. I picked it up (evvve!) and placed it in his mouth. I hunter revenged, 55 more to go. I started slashing at torso, hands and legs. Each one dissolving his soul, slowly. After like 53 slashes I saw 2 hands hugging me from behind and saw... Artemis hugging me?!
"Percy, please stop. Your are not harming him. He is almost already dead. You are torturing yourself."
I hesitantly nodded, but didn't stop as 2 more hunters were still left. I swinger my scythe at his head, beheading him. As his head went flying to air I swinger it down bringing the scythe to his head and cutting his head in 2 pieces. With my work done, I turned and smiled weakily at Artemis. She screamed and rushed towards me but it was too late as I stumbled and fell head first on the ground, loosing consciousness.
