Chapter 19: A meeting on Olympus and Rewards

I woke up in an infirmary. There was a man leaning over me. He turned towards somebody and spoke, "He's awake." Artemis's face filled my vision, "Chase are you ok?" She asked. I leaned up. "Better, still a little sore." I replied. She helped me off the table. My legs felt weak. "The Gods request your presence Chase. Perseus and Annabeth are waiting." Artemis said helping me balance. She supported some of my weight as she led me to the throne room. We stopped outside. "Chase. I normally don't like to me with men, but chase you are different. I've never seen a man like you. Perseus is very close. Maybe it's something about Poseidon's children. Chase you are my friend. The only male I have ever called a friend, please don't ruin it." I smiled, "Yes Lady Artemis. I swear to never break your trust in me." She smiled and pulled me along into the throne room. The Gods were already there. Percy and Annabeth were at their parents thrones. She helped me until I was standing in front of all the thrones. Zeus stood, "Chase Mathews. You have fulfilled your quest in rescuing my daughter and her hunters. You have gained my everlasting respect. Thank you." I bowed. "Chase, my son. You have made me proud today. You and Percy both." Poseidon said looking at me and patting Percy on the shoulder. "But I understand you suffered a great loss." My eyes started to tear up. I looked over at Aphrodite. Her eyes were red and puffy. A tear rolled down my cheek. "Chase." Poseidon's face was next to me now. "It's a tough ordeal. Your going to have to get through it. We are going to need you for the war that is coming." My head snapped up. I looked over at Percy. Our eyes met. "What war?" I asked. "The war between The Greeks and the Romans. The Roman demigods have betrayed us. They have already tried to attack Olympus. They failed. So we are sending All the Heroes of Camp Half-Blood to attack their camp. You will have exactly 6 months to prepare." Percy stood, "Wait! What about Jason, Frank, and Hazel?!" Zeus stood. "They led the attack on Olympus themselves. They will perish by my bolt." Percy started to say something but a glare from his father kept him quiet. "Chase." Poseidon said coming forward. "Come with me." He led me out the door and down a side hallway. He turned towards me. "Chase, I'm sending you to get Sarah now." My eyes lit up. After saving Artemis I had passed out and woken up here. "Ok, 108 Myrtle Avenue right?" I asked. "Yes, your flashlights are in your pocket." I felt my pockets, they were there. "Good luck my boy." He said waving his hand.
