Hey guys just wanted to let you know that the idea that I used to base this story on is the super cool power from Hans50's story The Monster Shifter. I also want you to know that this isn't another percy gets his heart broken and joins the hunters of Artimes story so hope you all enjoy. I also don't own the characters that were mentioned in the books.

I couldn't help but run as fast as my four legs could carry me. The reason why is because I am running in the general direction, I hope, towards my one true love, Artemis. Now you probably have a few questions as in why I have four legs or maybe like what about Annebeth or how did I fall in love with Artemis. Those all have very simple answers such as I never was truly in love with Annebeth, my mind just said I was because back before I came to Camp I was the immortal guardian of the Hunt. Then when the Titan's started to make a fuss the gods decided to make me mortal and turn me back into a 12 year old but then something went wrong and I lost my memories and along with them the memories I had with the love of my life, with Artemis.
So after the Second Giant War I went to Lady Athena to ask her for her blessing to marry Annebeth but the thing is, is that Athena knew, just like all of the gods, that I loved Artemis and so Athena proposed a challenge to get her blessing. A dual between the two of us after about ten minutes she managed to get a good solid hit on my head which brought back my memories. Athena once she hit me stood back and waited. When I remembered everything from before the accident I stood up said my thanks and that I will try to let Annebeth down as gently as possible and ran out vapor traveling as I went to Camp only to find Annebeth making out with another camper and as to not disturb them I went to her cabin and gave her brother, Malcom, a quick letter addressed to Annebeth and ran off to find Artemis.
As to why I have four legs is because during the time that I was born, during the age of the Greeks, demigods where sometimes born with special abilities that on most occasions weren't based on their heritage in order to make sure we survive. I was one of those special cases and I was born with the ability to take the form of and the powers of what ever mythological beast or being I killed but the thing is, is that say I killed a Titan I will just gain their powers not their form because their form is close to mine other than size so I will only have the size of said Titan not their looks. I also can't create a super monster by killing multiples of the same monster, though that would be insanely cool, and since I have been around for so long I have killed just about everything. As of right now I am currently running in my nemean lion form.
Anyways as of right now I'm going south and should hit Richmond, Virginia in a few hours. I stop because the feeling that pulls me to my Artemis just disappeared which ether means she's dead, which is very unlikely, or that she's near by. As I stop I transform back to my mortal form and look around using my enhanced senses to try and locate my family. After looking for a few moments I take to the air using the form of my blue phoenix. Now that I have a birds I view I notice a field off to my right with the beautiful sight of the Hunters tents with Hunters milling about and with it being 10 at night anyone could clearly see my blue flames that are rolling off of my form and so as I get near I gain more and more Hunter's attention till I have all of their attention as well as the attention of Artemis, who just came out to see what all the commotion was all about. So as to put on a show I speed up while doing a shallow dive then pulling up then in mid air transform back to my mortal form doing a back flip in the process and when I land the blue flames are just burning off to nothing and I'm kneeling in front of I stand up I look in Artemis's eyes and smirk.
"It's good to be back and gods did I miss you."
