A/N- Hey guys! I really missed fanfic but I'm kinda deciding to give it another go. Please bear with me as I haven't written any fanfics in a while. Please enjoy this chapter and review!

3rd POV-

"What's the point of all this, Gaea?" The boy croaked. "Why do you hate the gods?"

If the earth could smile, Gaea certainly was. "I think the better question, Jackson, is why don't you hate them? They accused you of stealing Zeus' bolt and ever since then they've thrown you into a war and all for what? The sooner you realize it, the better. You're just a tool to them, Perseus."

Even at his weakest state, Percy saw a loophole. This was his way out. "I see. You know, you're right. What good has siding with Gods ever done for me? All those friends I've made at camp-how many that died in the 2nd war? And sure, I met Annabeth- but I certainly don't see her rushing to rescue me. In fact, what reason do I have to hate you? Because gods told me to?"

The titan sneered evilly, she knew he would eventually see the truth. "You know, Jackson-you have point. In fact, I don't have to kill you. I just need to open the Doors of Death and when I do, I'll need a commander for my army."

Percy's emerald eyes sparked. "I don't suppose there's a position open?"

3rd POV-

"Phoebe!" Thalia yelled for the almost hundredth time. "Where could she be?"

"Did you try the hunters?" Piper asked.

"No, but I just feel something's off." Thalia shivered.

"I feel it too." Persia stated.

A moment of silent understanding passed between the two girls before Frank Zhang interrupted.

"Do you guys see that?" He said, pointing at a silver glint at the top of Zeus' fist. "That could be her."

The group of demigods headed towards the rock where they found the hunteress facing the opposite way, a small tear rolling down her cheek.

Persia immediately ran up to her, wrapping her arms around Phoebe.

The girl immediately resisted her. "Look, Artemis-I'm not coming back and that's final!"

"Phoebe, it's me." Persia grasped her shoulders. "It's me-Persia."

Phoebe's voice shook. "N-no. It can't be-you quit the hunt. It's been a century, you can't still be alive."

"What?" Persia asked in shock. "I never quit the hunt-Artemis killed me. I didn't die in battle so I am still immortal."

A sudden look of realization crossed Phoebe's features. "That what's Artemis was about to tell us but I walked out."

At this point, the rest of the group had caught up. "Wait, you quit the hunt?!" Thalia exclaimed.

Phoebe's fists balled up. "I was angry and tired with Artemis. She's lied about Persia and truthfully, I don't think she's truthfully kept her oath about men."

"What do you mean, I mean the oath swears no men. If anyone should be keeping that, it her." Hazel said.

"Oh yeah? Have you seen the way she looks at Percy Jackson?" Phoebe laughed. "It's not the first time either."

"Orion and Adonis." Persia whispered softly.

"Percy? Orion and Adonis?" The whole group gasped.

"Woah-we're getting offtrack." Jason said. "Percy-we need your help tracking him."

"I know Gaea has him but I'll need a few of his items. I could a simple locator spell that I learned from a daughter of Hecate to find him."

"Okay, well, what do you need?" Leo asked.

After Phoebe requested the items the demigods split up to find the items.

3rd POV-

Leo and Hazel walked towards the armory, searching for anything Percy might've used or sharpened his sword with.

"Hazel?" Leo asked softly.

"Yeah?"

"I know I shouldn't ask but...you're not going to sacrifice yourself to Gaea, are you?"

A moment passed before Leo shook his head. "Forget I asked. It was stup-."

"No." Hazel interrupted. "You're right. I mean, the rest of the girls don't deserve it and I do. It's my fault that's Gaea has risen. If anyone should go, it's me."

"You've got to forgive yourself over what happened decades ago. It's not your fault."

Hazel hands trembled. "I'll never forgive myself for what happened to you, Sammy."

"Sammy?" Leo said, confused. "What do you mean?"

The girl sucked in a sharp breath. "Just drop it, Leo. Forget everything I said."

Leo wanted to know more but left it alone for another day.

While the pair searched for weapons, not too far way, another group searched for Blackjack in the stables.

Persia was walking beside Frank and Piper while Jason separated from the daughter of Aphrodite.

"A little tense, isn't it?" Frank whispered to Persia who nodded.

Piper overheard and spoke up. "Well, Jason and I are taking a break from each other. It's no a big deal."

The son of Ares pointed to Jason who distancing himself even further away. "Really cuz' this kinda seems like a break up."

"Trust me. It's not."

"Look, Piper, I don't know where you stand but he clearly seems to be over you." Persia said. "Maybe it's better if you move on too."

"Trust me," Piper said. "I wish I could."

"Well, if you're ever interested-Leo's still single and is very much ready to mingle." Persia hinted.

The other laughed and shook her head. However, deep inside the mention of his name spread warmth through her.

"I agree." Frank nodded. "Maybe he can help you deal with this temporary break." Anything to get Leo away from Hazel, he thought.

"Yeah." Piper smiled. "I'd like that."

The group went into the stable and found a saddle Percy had used when riding. They then proceeded to walk back to Zeus' fist where they meet the rest of the group.

"Okay." Phoebe said. "Leo and Hazel-you found some armor."

"Got it." Leo handed her a shield and breast plate.

"And a saddle?"

"Right here." Frank passed her the object.

"T-shirt?"

"Well, I kinda had to fight Annabeth for it but here," Nico tossed the item.

"Why didn't you get another shirt?" Phoebe asked.

"It was the only recent one he'd worn." Thalia explained.

Phoebe nodded, concentrating, as she performed the spell. The items floated through the air, swirling around a sea green mist. The former hunter shut her eyes, then opened them immediately. Leo handed her a pencil and pad from his tool belt. The girl scribbled some words then handed it back.

"What is it?" Nico asked.

"It's an address." Phoebe clarified.

"It's in Latin." Jason added, starting to translate.

"No time." Phoebe said. "You guys have got to get going before the gods or titans track the spell back to us. Update me through IM. Good luck."

The demigods nodded and began to disburse. Persia was also leaving before Phoebe clutched her hand.

"Hey," She said. "Come back in one piece, alright?"

Persia smiled softly before throwing her arms around Phoebe.

Her friend returned the gesture, smiling. "You are nothing like Artemis." She whispered.

Persia took a deep breath before departing. She waved good bye but was reminded of their last goodbye. Was she leaving again to never return?

A/N- Please review and if you do, I might consider coming back to fanfic. Sorry for any ooc-ness. I haven't written since last year and I'm just sorry.
