"Perseus, Asgard is… beautiful. The way your people have blended magic and science is incredible" Artemis said as she and the rest of the girls followed the prince to the Valkyrie training grounds.
"Thank you Artemis, I am sure the architects will be most humbled for that compliment" replied Perseus.
"You know Annabeth would have a sugar rush if she could see half the stuff I'd seen today" interrupted Thalia with one hand on her hip as she gazed around the magical realm.
"Do not mention her name!" hissed the moon goddess surprising Perseus at the amount of venom in her voice.
"Are you alright Artemis, has Annabeth done something to upset you?" inquired Perseus.
Her eyes widening, Artemis had forgotten that her soon to be husband was there. She couldn't exactly tell him why she was pissed at the daughter of Athena. "N…nothing, I just dislike it when the children of Athena act like they know everything," Artemis said hoping Perseus would buy it.
Laughing slightly Perseus nodded "yes the children of your sister can be a bunch of 'know it all's' as you said" replied Perseus allowing Artemis to breathe a sigh of relief. "Ah here we are," said Perseus causing Artemis to look up as they arrived at a set of giant golden doors adorned with scenes of battle on them. Pushing open the doors, Perseus stood aside to allow the girls entry but he himself stayed in the entrance way.
"Percy are you not coming in?" asked a confused Thalia as she and Artemis stopped and turned wondering why he wasn't entering the arena.
"No only my father is allowed access to this hall. No other male may enter" replied Perseus smiling slightly at their confused looks it made them look so cute "go it is alright."
"You can't get rid of us that easy Perseus," said Artemis before turning around and telling the girls that she and Thalia will be training with Perseus in private. Once she finished telling them another Valkyrie came and started showing the girls different training areas before the doors were closed.
"So, is there somewhere else we can train?" asked Thalia.
"Of course, I have a private training area next to my bedroom, follow me" Perseus replied as he showed them the way.
It didn't take long for them to reach the royal palace, the guards saluted their prince as he and his fiancés walked past. Perseus showed them the throne room where the Asgardian gods come to meet and discuss important matters concerning the safety and wellbeing of Asgard and the universe.
"Percy?" Thalia asked.
"Yes, Sparkles?" answered Perseus.
"Why are the thrones…like that?" Thalia inquired not knowing how to explain it.
Chuckling slightly Perseus explained. "Those are the thrones of the King and Queen, my father and mother. They are like that as it symbolizes during meetings of the gods that they are equals. However, my father has a separate throne in the Hall of Asgard, it is called Hliðskjálf, and is the high seat of Odin which allows him to see into all realms, it is mainly used for ceremonies and such.
"Which is yours Percy?" asked Thalia.
"Mine is to the left of my father's" answered Perseus
Gasping slightly, both girls took in the sheer beauty of it. The throne was darker than black showing swirling galaxies whilst golden sand representing time crawled around at a pace of its own desire. The back piece of the throne had scales whilst under it where two hands forming a handshake, for the domains of justice and loyalty.
Carrying on Thalia and Artemis asked a number of questions regarding items or images as they passed on the way to the training room, all of which Perseus happily answered until they finally arrived at his bedroom. Pushing open the doors Perseus stepped aside to allow them entry, as they gazed around at the modest yet quite bare room. Of course, it was designed and fit for a prince but Perseus did not possess the man things Thalia and Artemis expected to find in a male's room.
"The training area is through there," Perseus said interrupting the two girl's musings.
"What is behind that door?" asked the moon goddess.
"That is the bathing area, it is sort of a steam room as well" replied the Asgardian. "I will join you two in a moment, I am just going to change into some training clothes."
Artemis saw Thalia was about to say something which would embarrass them all so she zoomed over to her sister and gently pushed her along as she replied "of course, do not be long" before disappearing from view.
"Artemis what are you doing…stop pushing me!" hissed Thalia.
"I know what you were going to do dear sister," said Artemis giving Thalia a pointed look as she just looked away innocently.
Looking round Perseus's training room, well, to be honest, it wasn't actually a room. It was an open space attached to the prince's bedroom that overlooked the depths of space as small waterfalls fell from the sides giving the space a tranquil feel. There were two golden statues of Perseus clad in full regalia also overlooking the depths of space like a silent guardian, ever watching, ever protecting.
"This is his training area…it's awesome" squealed Thalia looking around at the numerous weapons and training equipment.
"Yes it is." replied Artemis who was more entranced by the beautiful view.
"Ahh…Sparkles, I see you are enjoying the weaponry" said a smiling Perseus as he walked down the steps watching as the girls turned to look at him. However, he failed to see their eyes bulge at his attire. He was clad in a very form fitting red and black top with shorts that left little to the imagination, not that they needed their imagination as they had seen what Perseus was packing. On the back of the top was an image of golden scales. Finally noticing their stares, Perseus felt a tad self-conscious and asked "is there… something… wrong?"
Banishing the images, they were thinking of from their minds Thalia and Artemis both responded "no" before looking at each other and smiling. "We were just discussing the various types of weaponry and views you have here," said Artemis.
"Yes it is indeed beautiful, I sometimes come just to stare out into The Presence's creation" replied Perseus "but anyway, come let us train, it would be too early to see if your new powers have begun to develop yet."
At this Perseus was met with confused stares.
"What new powers?" asked Thalia.
"Well not new powers per say, it is more like your existing powers will be more powerful and advanced due to my domains. For example, my domain of time is a fundamental force of the universe. Other fundamentals forces are gravity and energy. Thalia, you wield lightning which is a form of energy so you would synch with my time domain and eventually once you reach the height of you power you would be able to empower yourself with the energy from the universe itself" explained Perseus.
"Oh my gods, that's awesome and kind of scary" she added the last part quietly.
"Have no fear Sparkles, with training you will master them" Perseus said easing her worries a bit "whereas you Artemis, will draw power from and sync with my domain of space. As you know you already get a portion of your power and strength from the moon. I will teach you how to draw from not only other moons but from the stars as well until eventually like Thalia when you reach the height of your power you will be able to draw from magnetars which are a type of neutron star which are composed of an ultra-thick material called neutronium, a thimbleful of which weighs approximately 100 million tons. Magnetars have powerful magnetic fields that emit huge amounts of high-energy electromagnetic radiation such as gamma rays." Explained Perseus.
"So I will be able to draw power from Earth's sun?" inquired Artemis.
Laughing Perseus responded, "yes Artemis you will effectively have Apollo's domain as well."
"So Perce, when will these powers come into effect?" asked Thalia.
"You should already have a slight increase in your powers now, and they should get stronger as time passes, however, they will not be fully awakened until we…*coughs*" said Perseus.
"Sorry I didn't catch that," said Thalia moving closer slightly.
"Until we…copulate… which will enable us to bond completely" informed a blushing Perseus.
"Oh I see" Thalia replied feeling the heat in her cheeks she looked at Artemis who was looking away most probably blushing as well.
"Anyway, come and let us train," said Perseus moving about and examining some his weapons not that he didn't know each one inside out. "What weapon would you like to train on?"
"Well I would like to master the spear if you would teach me Perce?" asked Thalia.
"Of course and Artemis what weapon would you like?" Perseus asked.
"Do you have any staff like weapons? I have always been intrigued by them but have yet to learn how to use one" asked Artemis.
"Hmm…I do believe I have one. Hold on a moment." Turning round Perseus made his way over to a chest and started to dig through it before he smiled and pulled out a small staff about the length of his arm and threw it over to Artemis who caught it skillfully. "Apply a bit of pressure to the center hilt," said Perseus to Artemis which she did and flinched when two deadly looking blades on white with a black center and one black with a white center sprang free from their confinement. (AN: It is kind of a cross between a swallow and staff)
"Perseus…it is magnificent" Artemis breathed as she admired the weapon.
"And dangerous. Do you see the two gems on each side of your hands? Those are metaochite gems, those gems are only found in Alfheim, they have the ability to bring light to the darkest of places and darken places with the brightest of lights. May it serve you well" said Perseus.
"Perseus, I cou…" started Artemis.
"It is yours, a gift," said Perseus closing her hands around the weapon. "Alright Thalia, come and I'll show you some spear moves first. As you're probably aware you are not the tallest of girls" Perseus said chuckling slightly at her pout. "So we need to find the proper spear technique for you to use. I have been to many different realms and studied various spear techniques, I believe this form will be more fluent and easier for you to use and learn. First, I want you to stand forward in a forward stance, with you left leg forward, and your right leg back straight your right heel raised. Position your spear so it is almost vertical with the spearhead up and the lower half angled slightly forward and across the center line. Position your left-hand high on the shaft near the spearhead and right hand placed closer to the bottom of the shaft with your thumbs forward." Looking to see if Thalia was managing Perseus once again chuckled at the sight of Thalia trying to position her hands correctly. Walking over he gently took her hands and positioned them correctly as he then moved her left leg into the correct stance. "Good, this technique is used for offense and defense, you can use the spear like a BO Staff during the fight so that you can strike from a distance or block an opponent's sword, however with a quick adjustment of your hands you can be ready to throw it in a second. Unfortunately, as you know once you have thrown the spear you will be weaponless, so you will need another weapon but we can focus on that later. The second technique is for readiness to deflect and strike, first, you put your left leg forward which puts your weight notably on the left leg and makes your torso somewhat squared. Grasp your spear with one hand in the middle and one hand about a quarter of the way forward from your other hand with your thumbs facing forward. Put your spear under your left arm or if the situation calls for it, the right, just make sure to reverse the positioning of your hands. Now as you can tell this will allow you to bring up your spear and deflect a number of weapons and you can either use the butt of the spear which we could attach a blade to swing around and impale your opponent or you can thrust with you spear and due to your smaller height will most likely hit the chest area. The third and final technique requires a shield, which you do have put I want you to have a pelta shield which will allow for close quarters combat with your spear as it has the top for resting your spear to protect your chest but allow for stabbing. But also the edges of the shield have serrated edges so you can swing it and slice your enemies open. Anyway, practice those two techniques first with a couple of automatons and I will have a shield made for you." Finished Perseus as he activated some automatons for Thalia to practice against.
Walking back over to his weapons rack, Perseus picked up a weapon similar to Artemis's although his weapon was leaning more towards to a double ended glaive. "So Artemis with your weapon you will need to focus on speed and precision, striking your opponent in lethal points, which will down them almost immediately as well as avoiding their armor if at possible. You will first want to start by swinging it around your body" explained Perseus as he slowly started to spin his glaive behind his arms then to his back before skimming it over his head. "By starting like this when opponents rush at you, you can then lash out at them with your weapon. The best striking areas are the throat, the eyes, the side of the head or the collarbone area, the ribs, knees and of course the groin for the male gender. But of course you won't always be on the offensive sometimes you have to be defensive and so similar to Thalia if an opponent were to come at you with an overhead strike, you would counter with the front blade and swing round and counter attack with the back blade to the stomach area effectively gutting your opponent. If your opponent were to, however, come at you from the side, then you would counter with the top blade and can do either one of two things. First being to stop the incoming blade, duck under the weapon then counter by slicing off the opponent's arm, or you could stop the blade then swing your weapon up once again effectively gutting your opponent." Perseus said showing Artemis the moves which she tried to replicate. "However you will, like Thalia, pick up and create your own styles in combat it will just take time but your will eventually learn."
"Hmm, it is an interesting weapon, especially with its techniques. I can't wait to try it out in battle" said Artemis as she swung her weapon around her body slowly as to not injure herself.
"Come let us join Thalia and practice with some automatons and try out your weapon," said Perseus as they went over and joined Thalia in practice.

*Mature Content Ahead*
"Hold up" panted Thalia who was bent over holding her knees, sweat dripping off her brow.
"Tired dear sister?" asked Artemis amusement evident in her voice.
"Forgive me, I don't have godly stamina to rely on" shot back Thalia with a smirk on her face.
"Come, I think that should be enough training for today" Perseus interrupted as he disarmed the automatons and coming to a stop in front of his brides to be "let us get cleaned up then we can see what the hunters are up to."
"Ohh…can we use the steam room?" asked Thalia .
Confused Perseus responded "bu…but…you do…don't have anything to change into."
Both girls rolled their eyes at this; Freya was right when she said he had no experience with women.
"I believe that was the point, dear Perseus," said Artemis patting his chest and walking off with Thalia back up towards Perseus's room.
"Oh" blushed the Asgardian before he shook his head and followed the girls back to his room.
Once back Perseus showed the girls where they could get changed and he himself went back to his room to give them some privacy. As he was taking off his training gear he couldn't help but think of how much fun he had training and practicing with Thalia and Artemis, they seemed to be connecting more and more. Perhaps it was because they were becoming closer. Folding and putting away his gear, Perseus went through into his bathroom and stripped down till he was naked as the day he was born and wrapped a towel around his waist and proceeded to the steam room which had a giant pool in the ground for relaxing in. Noticing the girls had yet to enter the prince stripped and folded his towel and put it on the bench before getting into the hot water which seemed to pull him in and ease his aching muscles.
Just as he was about to shout and ask if the girls were alright, the door to the chamber where the clean linen and towels were kept opened and out stepped the girls with towels wrapped around themselves from the chest down.
"Ah, I thought you might have got lost" chuckled Perseus.
"Very funny space boy" retorted Thalia.
"You like coming up with nicknames don't you?" said Perseus leaning back and putting his arms on the side of the pool.
"What can I say, I'm good at coming up with names" giggled, Thalia.
"If you say so Thals" shot back Perseus.
Then before Perseus could even blink both girls dropped their towels which obviously left very little to Perseus's imagination and got into the pool and both let out sighs of content as the hot water rushed over them.
"Are you alright Perseus?" asked Artemis innocently
Perseus who was still trying to pick his jaw up out of the water, rubbed his neck and looked away and muttered: "of course, everything's fine."
"Perseus what did I say this morning, there's nothing to be embarrassed about you can look, we are going to be your wives, you are going to see us like this a lot more" stressed Artemis.
"I know it's just you are both so beautiful that I cannot help but react like this," said Perseus.
"It's called getting a boner Perce" interrupted Thalia ducking her head underwater and re-emerging, flicking her hair backward.
"A… bo…boner? What is that?" asked Perseus confused.
"She means erection, boner is mortal slang, ignore her" Artemis answered "and believe me Perseus and I'm sure Thalia would agree, we would be more worried if you didn't get an erection whilst we are in this state. Now let's just relax for a bit."
Agreeing Perseus once again leaned back against the pool and allowed the water to soothe him.
"Hey, Perce? Do…do you think… I'll be successful as the child of prophecy?" Thalia asked as she swam over to the prince.
Perseus opened an eye and looked at Thalia and asked: "What has brought this on Thals?"
"It..it's just that I've been thinking, I mean with everything that's been happening, with Kronos rising. I was just…wondering if I will be able to manage or succeed. I don't want the world to end." Said a somber Thalia.
"Oh, Sparkles you will do fine. As a matter of fact, I am sure you will do better than fine, you will kick Kronos's ass." Replied a determined Perseus.
"H…how…can you say that? He is so powerful and now that he has the time stone I don't think I can beat him." Thalia said shakily.
"Ordinarily you would be right considering the time stone is involved…but I am aware of some things that you and most importantly Kronos does not know." Said a smirking Perseus.
"Is that true Perseus? Is there a way for Thalia to win?" Artemis asked.
"Of course, I wouldn't lie about that," Perseus responded.
"Ho…how can…I…I beat someone so powerful?" Thalis said stutteringly.
"Remember a few minutes ago when we were talking about your powers increasing?" Perseus asked.
"Yes, but how can that stop Kronos," Thalia asked.
"Well if you remember, I told you that you would have a fundamental power of the universe, what you and Kronos do not know is that those fundamental powers cannot affect each other negatively," Perseus stated.
"I…I don't understand," Thalia said as Artemis nodded in agreement.
"Alright, if Kronos or I were to stop you in time would gravity or energy be affected? The answer is no because one cannot cancel the other out. Time may be stopped but gravity remains constant as does energy as it continues to generate and flow. So as a user of this fundamental power you will have an advantage he is not aware of." Explained Perseus.
"So…so I can just hit him with a lightning bolt and it's over? Asked a hopeful Thalia.
"No, Sparkles I am afraid it does not quite work like that. Once you give the energy form he can use his powers to stop the form the energy has taken. What you will need to do is learn to become energy itself, it would be like you dissolved into nothingness but you will exist as energy. If done correctly, this will free you from his time spell and give you an opportunity to attack and defeat him." Said a confident Perseus .
"That sounds really difficult and I don't know if I will be able to learn to do something like that. I…I just don't want to disappoint anyone" Thalia said quietly.
Wrapping an arm around Thalia, Perseus responded "A man once said 'Whether you fear it or not, disappointment will come. The beauty is that through disappointment you can gain clarity, and with clarity comes conviction and true originality.'So what I'm trying to say is there will always be disappointment or failure it's what you do after that, that really matters. Do you accept that failure and stop or do you say no and push yourself onward never giving up until you succeed?"
"Hmm, that is very insightful Perseus," Artemis said as she rested against the prince's other arm opposite Thalia.
"I am more than just brawn you know" teased Perseus.
"We know, you have your good looks as well" laughed Thalia causing Artemis and Perseus to join in laughing. "You also have those delicious lips" and with that Thalia slowly captured the prince's lips with hers gently pouring love into it. Thalia gently brushed her tongue against his lips asking for entry which he granted but was unprepared for the sudden invasion from Thalia who immediately darted her tongue in exploring every inch of his mouth, her hands on the back of his head pulling his head closer eager to get further into his mouth.
"Ahem!" coughed Artemis loudly startling the two "I believe it's my turn," said Artemis sending a pointed glare at her sister who rolled her eyes before retreating from Perseus mouth who was panting heavily.
"He's all yours," said a smiling Thalia as she moved back to the side of Perseus crushing her breasts against the side of his chest.
Unlike Thalia who preferred things a bit rougher, Artemis opted for a gentler approach and started kissing his earlobe and began to whisper things too naughty to be written in this story. Slowly working her way down towards his jaw, Artemis nibbled at his ear making him let out a shiver before continuing to kiss his jaw gently sucking, as well as running her hands over his torso. Capturing his mouth with hers Artemis allowed him entry this time which he gladly accepted and explored her mouth slowly and lovingly.
"Perhaps we should take this to the bedroom?" whispered Thalia into Perseus ear causing him to moan into the kiss causing Artemis to deepen it before pulling back.
"Yes let's," said Artemis with a sultry smile on her face.
Perseus watched as his wives to be climbed out the pool, droplets of water cascading down their naked bodies and their curves and bosoms. Gods, they make it impossible for him to think straight. Sighing in delight Perseus dunked his head under water to refresh himself before climbing out, not wanting to keep his girls waiting.
The scene that awaited him was something out of the dreams he has recently been having, Artemis and Thalia were laying on his bed patting the spot between them, a spot which Perseus eagerly occupied.
"So Perce, what shall we do?" asked Thalia biting her lip whilst Artemis drew circles on his chest.
Now poor Perseus's mind was in such a state of arousal his higher brain functions seemed to have shut down and before he could even think he had opened his mouth to respond with. "Urgh…umm…"
"Why dear sister it seems we have scrambled his brain" laughed Artemis before slowly leaning in and nibbling on his earlobe, causing Perseus to moan in pleasure.
"It appears we have sister" replied Thalia lightly fondling Perseus member through his boxers making his legs tense.
Suddenly all three froze at the sound of the door opening…" Perseus dear are y…" however the woman's voice was cut off when her eyes landed on the scene before her.
"Arghhhhhhhh!" screamed Thalia and Artemis jumping behind the prince grabbing his pillows in hopes of covering themselves.
"MOTHER!" shouted Perseus blushing madly at having been caught by his mother in such a display "I…I…we…can explain" stuttered Perseus avoiding his mother's amused gaze as much as possible.
"Oh you can, please do?" smiled the Queen.
"Well, you see…we…were…urgh…just… cuddling" said Perseus meekly.
"Naked?" retorted Frigga.
"We were hot" mumbled the prince, rubbing the back of his neck.
"I was not born yesterday my son. Anyway, I was just coming to see if you were alright. If I had known you had company, well I would have waited. I will see you later my son" the Queen said as she smiled softly before turning around and heading back out the door but paused and turned "Oh and it is nice to finally meet you girls" she said before leaving laughing at their embarrassed looks.
"You didn't you lock the door?!" the girls hissed while slapping the back of Perseus's head.
"I…I…I thought I did" said Perseus sighing at the fact he had been caught by his mother in such a position with his wives to be, "by Odin what must she think?"
"Well, the mood is certainly ruined, come let's get dressed and see how the hunters are faring." Said an embarrassed Artemis.
*Mature Content Over*
/\/\/\/\/\
"Artemis if it is alright with you and Thalia I will teleport the two of you to the Hall of the Valkyries and when you are ready to return Brunnhilde can summon me to come and get you or provide transportation to the palace," Perseus said.
"Are you sure you do not want to come?" Artemis asked.
"As I said earlier my father is the only male allowed in the hall, which would leave me standing outside. So I can stay here and you and Thalia can check on the hunters and visit with the Valkyries before returning." Perseus responded.
"I see your point. We should not be too long." Artemis said as she stood next to Thalia as Perseus waved his hand in front of them and teleported them to the Halls of the Valkyries.
As Thalia and Artemis appeared in the arena, Artemis began to glow with joy as she observed her hunters enjoying themselves training with the Valkyrie's in their arena, however, Artemis knew she had other business to take care of namely two love goddess's that thoroughly embarrassed her. Looking throughout the arena Artemis spied the one person she needed to talk to Brunnhilde leader of the Valkyrie's.
"Brunnhilde, a moment if you please?" Artemis called out.
"Yes Milady, how may I be of assistance?" Brunnhilde asked as she bowed before Artemis.
"Please do not bow to me. I am but a visitor here and we are both strong female warriors, in my eyes we are equal." Said Artemis.
"My apologies Milady but you will soon be a part of the royal family, I bow in respect of that." Explained Brunnhilde.
"How about a compromise? When we are around in public you can bow but in settings such as this, there is no bowing or any of the other royal things that you are supposed to do." Artemis responded.
"So you want us to be like we are with the prince?" Brunnhilde asked.
"What do you mean like the prince?" Artemis inquired.
"Like you Milady he does not like being bowed to or really any of the royal things as you put it and made us the same compromise," Brunnhilde responded.
"Really?" Artemis asked in shock "it is rare that you find a man with such values and respect."
"Yes, Prince Perseus is indeed one of a kind. It was a sad day for the women of Asgard when his engagement to you and Lady Thalia was announced." A downtrodden Brunnhilde said .
"D…did…you desire…him as well?" Artemis asked.
"If I am being truthful Milady, then yes I did as do most of the Valkyries. Prince Perseus is a rare man powerful without bragging, loyal, steadfast, and is always there when you need a shoulder to lean on." Replied the nervous Valkyrie.
"Rest easy Brunnhilde. I do not blame you for being attracted to the prince. If I am, to be honest, the first time I saw him, I was somewhat attracted to him myself." Said a blushing Artemis.
"I understand Milady. So what is it I can do for you?" Brunnhilde asked.
"What are the laws concerning hunting on Asgard?" Artemis inquired.
"It would depend Milady, on what you are hunting and where you are hunting it. What would you like to hunt?" Replied Brunnhilde.
"I…want to… hunt two… goddesses'." Artemis responded with fiery determination.
"Milady! We cannot allow that!" Brunnhilde exclaimed.
"Oh…no you misunderstand me. I am hunting them down to find them and pay them back for a …prank they pulled on me." Artemis said with a sadistic smile.
"Oh…I see. Just who are these unfortunate goddess's?" Brunnhilde asked .
"The first one is Freyja…" Artemis started to say when she heard.
"We are in!" Brunnhilde yelled out.
"Ex…excuse me?" Artemis questioned.
"If I had known it was that damned love goddess we would have already been hunting them," Brunnhilde responded.
"Well more like two love goddess's" Artemis replied.
"Even better," Brunnhilde said.
"I take it Freyja has offended you sometime in the past?" Artemis questioned.
"The bitch is lucky we have not killed her and that is only because Lord Odin has decreed that she live!" Hissed the angry Valkyrie.
"If I may ask, what did she do?" Artemis asked.
"For centuries, that bitch has tried to relentlessly to make us fall in love! You probably do not know this but if a Valkyrie falls in love she may no longer stay a Valkyrie! We have thwarted her at every turn until one day she did something so vile that it cannot be forgiven!" Brunnhilde exclaimed.
"Wh…what did she do?" Artemis inquired.
"Sh…she…tainted the ale the spirits drink in the hall of heroes with her strongest lust potion. The spirits were overcome with lust and wanted only one thing…to fuck us. We battled for what seemed like days until finally my sisters and I escaped the hall and trapped the spirits inside. The lucky ones still had a small amount of clothing on such as a bra or panties but the rest were naked and you could see the bruise's and hand prints from the groping of the spirits!" Brunnhilde said as tears fell down her face.
"Today sister, we will both get our revenge!" Bellowed Artemis "Now how do we get to them?"
"We will have to get them out of the city." Brunnhilde said, "that will be difficult since Freyja is most likely hold up in her palace."
"How can we get them out of her palace?" Artemis inquired.
"It will not be easy. She will not come if we summon her, in fact, the only ones she would leave her palace for are…." Brunnhilde was saying before a face splitting grin came across her face "There is one who could summon her and she would have to obey, but it will not be easy convincing them."
"Who? Who is it that can summon them?" Artemis asked frantically.
"Your husband to be Prince Perseus. Freyja cannot ignore a summons from a royal family member. But as I said it will be difficult to convince the prince to help us." Brunnhilde said.
"It may not be as difficult as you suspect." Said a deviously smirking Artemis "Thalia! Come here!"
"Yes, Artemis you need something?" Thalia asked.
"Yes. Tell me everything you know about getting a man to do what you want him to do." Artemis responded.
"Do what!" Thalia exclaimed.
"You heard me or do you want to be included as one of the hunted?" Artemis threatened.
"Oh when you put it that way, here is what you do…" Thalia said telling Artemis everything she knew about getting a man to do what she wants.
Later that Evening
"PPPeeerrrrcccyyyy!" Artemis said seductively while batting her eyelashes.
"Uh…yes… Art…Artemis." Perseus answered stuttering.
"Would you do something for meeee? PPPllleeeaassseeee." Artemis asked in the same tone.
"Of…of cours…course. What do…do you…need?" Perseus inquired.
"I need you to summon Freyja and Aphrodite so I can hunt them," Artemis said with a finger in her mouth and twirling her auburn hair with her other hand.
"UUUHHH…wha…what!" Exclaimed Perseus "what do you mean hunt them!" Perseus exclaimed.
"Yes, I just want to have a little fun and hunt them," Artemis said as she seductively walked towards Perseus and put her arms around his neck while she buried her face in the crook of his neck.
At this Perseus began to blush fiercely and stutteringly said "wh…why…d…d…do yo…you…wan…hunt…th…them?"
"They," Artemis said as she began to nibble on his ear "played a nasty prank on me and embarrassed me in front of my hunters. I just want to prank them back."
"By Odin's beard," Perseus said as he was getting horny at what Artemis was doing "I…I..ca…can't let…you…(oh, gods…that feels amazing!)...hurt them."
"I won't hurt them," Artemis said as her hands made their way down and she grabbed Perseus by his ass cheeks "I just want them to know how it feels."
"Yo…you…sw…swear…n…(fuck don't stop)not to…hur…hurt them?" Perseus asked his soon to be wife as he was being overcome by her actions.
"I swear not to hurt them," Artemis said as she kissed around his collar bone driving him crazy with lust.
"I…I…I'll…do…(gods I'm about to blow up)…it." Said a heavily breathing Perseus.
"Thank you," Artemis said sweetly as she gave his collar bone a little nip.
"Shit!" exclaimed the blushing Perseus "Let me…change and…and then tell me…what you need for…me to do."
Fifteen minutes later (he had to wash up and change clothes)
"Bjarke (BYAHR-ke)" Perseus called out. (FYI Bjarke means Bear in Danish)
"Yes Milord," said a soldier entering Perseus's room.
"Bjarke, I need for you to summon the goddess Freyja to my room. She will more than likely be in the company of the Greek goddess Aphrodite summon her as well." Perseus instructed.
"As you command Milord" Bjarke replied as he bowed.
"Oh, and Bjarke," Perseus said "if they ask why just tell them I wish to discuss the wedding. Do not tell them that Lady Artemis and Lady Thalia are here."
"Yes Milord" Bjarke responded as he left to summon the goddesses.
Soon there was a knock on the Prince's door "enter" said Perseus.
At this, the door opened and in walked Bjarke who announced: "Lord Perseus here are the Ladies Freyja and Aphrodite."
"Thank you Bjarke, you may return to your duties" stated Perseus "Ladies please come in and have a seat, I have some…pressing issues I must discuss with you."
"The pleasure is ours Perseus. What can we love goddess's do for the handsome young prince of Asgard?" Freyja asked.
"Um…as you know…I am to be married to the ladies Thalia and Artemis…and as…you have probably guessed…" Perseus was saying when a "foomp" "foomp" followed by the sound of two bodies falling to the ground. Perseus looked up to see Artemis coming from out of her hiding place with what looked like a blow gun "I thought you said you would not hurt them?"
"I didn't, I may have put them to sleep for a little while. Brunnhilde showed me how to use a blowgun and supplied me with darts coated in a sleeping potion." Artemis explained. "Now would you teleport us to the Valkyrie arena. Please."
"Odin help me," Perseus said as he waved his hand and the three goddess's disappeared.
Slowly Aphrodite began to regain consciousness. The love goddess tried to lift her arm only to find she was restrained "wh…what's going on? Wh…where am I?" she asked nervously.
"Ah… Aphrodite, you are awake; it is about time" said a familiar voice.
"Art…Artemis? What's going on why am I bound to a bed?" Aphrodite asked with confusion in her voice.
"You have forgotten already? I believe the last thing I said to you and Freyja was that I would hunt the both of you down. As you can see I found a way to Asgard and here we are." Artemis said with an evil smile.
"Now…now Arty there's no…no need for this. Wh…what we did wa…was for the betterment of yours and Perseus's relationship!" Aphrodite exclaimed.
"Oh I agree that it was; unfortunately, I do not agree with how you went about it. Poor Zoe is still having nightmares about what she saw and let us not forget how embarrassed I was that she saw me in such a position! Not to mention how you went about doing it! After you shackled me to a bed spread eagled, you then used a fucking weed whacker and other barbaric tools to accomplish your goal when you could have just used magic! Then if that wasn't bad enough you mocked me afterward by saying it growled at you and it kept growing back! No, you deserve what you are about to get!" Artemis hissed.
At this Freyja began to stir "wha…what? Where am I. What's going on?!" asked the frantic goddess.
"Ah… our other participant has awakened." Artemis stated, "Hello Freyja remember me?"
"Art…Artemis ho…how did you get to Asgard?" asked the frightened love goddess.
"Evidently you and your counterpart have forgotten just who it is that I am engaged to. It took very little convincing to have Perseus bring me and my hunters to Asgard for some training with the Valkyries." Artemis explained with a smile.
"Bu…but how did you capture us? We were in the city there are laws against such things." Said an exasperated Freyja.
"Yes, Brunnhilde did explain that to me, fortunately, we found a loophole in the law. I …convinced Perseus to summon you and when you arrived I did what I do best capture my prey." Artemis explained.
"Arty! I'm so proud of you. Look at you using your feminine wiles to get your man to do what you want." Aphrodite said with a smile.
"I had no other choice but rest assured I shall not do it again. Now let us proceed with your punishment." Artemis stated as she pulled out two vials.
"Wh…what …are those?" Freyja asked.
"Oh, nothing much just a little surprise I had prepared for you. Now open wide and say Ah." Artemis said as the two love goddess's shut their mouths tightly.
"I was hoping you would choose the hard way," Artemis said as she pulled out a hunting knife and gave a nod to her hunters as she picked up some of Aphrodite's hair. "I will have some much more fun this way."
As Artemis placed the knife on Aphrodite's hair, the love goddess screamed "not my hair!"
At one of the hunters grabbed her mouth while another pinched her nose as Artemis began to pour the potion in Aphrodite's mouth. As soon as the potion was in the hunter closed her mouth ensuring she couldn't spit the potion out. After a few moments, hunters released their hold on Aphrodite's mouth and nose as she had finally swallowed the potion.
"That 'cough cough' was terrible," Aphrodite said trying to spit the taste out of her mouth.
"No less than you deserve" Artemis hissed "and now for contestant number two. Do you want the east way or the hard way?"
Freyja lay there tight-lipped shaking her head.
"Today must be my lucky day, Brunnhilde the shaving cream please." Artemis ordered "yes lather her head up nicely I do not want to miss a hair on her head.
"No! Stop! I'll…I'll drink it!" Freyja exclaimed.
"Just know if you spit this out I will not only shave your head but I will sew that thing you call a pussy up and you will never have sex again. Am I understood?" Artemis asked.
"Ye…yes…ple…please just do…don't shave my head." Said the practically crying Freyja.
"Open wide" Artemis ordered as she poured the potion into Freyja's mouth who promptly swallowed the potion.
"Wh…what…sniff…sniff…will that do to us?" Freyja asked.
"Oh, that? Nothing much as a matter of fact I have been reassured by Brunnhilde here that most of the Norse Gods will like what the potion does. However, what you should be concerned about is what happens next." Artemis stated.
"What! We did as you asked and drank the potion!" Aphrodite exclaimed.
"True but that was revenge for what you did to me. What happens next is for what Freyja did to our new sisters Brunnhilde and the Valkyries." Artemis replied.
"Bu…bu…but I didn't do anything to them." Aphrodite pleaded.
"While it is true that you have not done anything to them what you have forgotten are the numerous hunters that you have taken from me. So this is what the mortals call 'killing two birds with one stone'" Artemis responded.
"Th…that's not fair!" Aphrodite pleaded.
"Actually, it is more than fair, normally I would kill you; however, I promised Perseus I would not harm you," Artemis said as she touched the shoulders of both goddess's and began to whisper quietly. All three goddesses' glowed silver until Artemis removed her hands from their shoulders.
"Wha…what di…did you do to us?" Freyja asked.
"I placed a curse on you. One I believe you will find most fitting." Artemis answered.
"What kind of curse?" Aphrodite inquired.
"Oh, nothing too bad. I just increased your pheromone levels by 100%. This will allow any monster, rock troll, dwarf, or animal in a three-mile radius to smell you. And once they have smelt your pheromones they will be on your trail very quickly and they will be extremely horny, so I would run if I were you." Artemis explained.
"You didn't?!" Freyja bellowed.
"Oh but I did. Think of this as payback for what you did in the Hall of Heroes. Oh but do not worry the curse will only last 36 hours." Said Artemis.
At that, there was a loud "AAARRROOOO!"
"I do believe that is your first customer. You better be off." Artemis said as she snapped her fingers releasing the goddesses from their restraints.
"The joke is still on you Arty we will just use our powers to flash away." Aphrodite said smirkingly as she tried to flash out "what? Why won't it work."
"Oh that's right I forgot to tell you, I gave you both some jewelry to accessorize with your outfits. They are power inhibitor bands so you won't be using your powers today." Said a smiling Artemis.
"AAAARRRRROOOO!" the sound came again only closer.
"Ladies it is getting closer you really should start running," Artemis instructed as the two love goddesses turned and started to run in high heels.
"Fuck you Arty!" Aphrodite screamed as she fell because her heel broke.
"Milady, surely you are not going to let them be taken by those monsters?" Zoe asked.
"No Zoe as much as I dislike Aphrodite and Freyja for what they have done I would not condemn even them to such a fate. I wove a teleportation spell into the curse, once the monster's, animals or whatever gets within a certain distance they will be safely transported to some place safe." Artemis explained.
"What will that potion you made them drink do to them Milady?" Zoe asked.
"Oh, the potion it will essentially do the reverse of what they did to me. It will make them grow hair all over their body and no matter what they try they will not be able to get rid of it. I am assured that once the potion takes effect the two love goddesses will look like the creature mortals call Sasquatch." Artemis replied.
"It is just like you to think of everything," Zoe replied.
"Actually, I didn't, Perseus is the one who thought of the inhibitor bracelets," Artemis responded.
"Hmm…maybe you will make a good husband out of him yet." Said a smirking Zoe.
"It will take some work but it can be done." Artemis said while laughing "now come and let us get back to Perseus."

"Ah, good evening ladies, Perseus" greeted Frigga.
"Mother" Perseus replied as he bowed his head in respect.
"Your highness" both Artemis and Thalia said bobbing a curtsy to the queen.
Laughing gently at their actions the queen responded "come now, there is no need for that behind closed doors. You are to become my daughters, there is no need to act regal in private."
Unused to such positive affection from a mother figure (looking at you Hera O.O) the girls graciously thanked the queen before taking the seats that had been offered to them.
"Is there something wrong mother?" Perseus asked before quickly looking to his father. Usually, if there was something wrong or if Perseus was in trouble, Odin would try to subtly warn his son but he gave no indication that he knew of anything.
"No nothing's wrong dear, it has just come to my attention that we have neglected our duty as parents to ensure that you were thoroughly educated" stated Frigga.
"Pardon dear?" asked Odin as Thor just laughed at his brothers abashed look.
"Mother I can assure you that I have been thoroughly educated" Perseus practically shouted.
"You misunderstand my son" laughed the queen "what I was referring to where your teachings with Freyja." At the horrid look on her son's face, the queen knew he had figured it out but continued. "When I walked in on you and your wives to be…canoodling naked…I realized that you have not been taught the proper education regarding safe sexual practices."
The only sounds penetrating the room where Odin and Thor's laughter which they were trying to stifle which they did when they received a look from the queen as she said "did I say something funny?"
"N…no…dear" Odin replied as Thor quickly added "no mother."
"I thought not," Frigga said as she turned her attention back to Perseus.
"M…mot…mother… like I said …we…we were just… cuddling" said an embarrassed prince.
"The looks on your faces said differently. Now there will not be any arguing on this matter, I will contact Freyja and Aphrodite for Artemis and Thalia's benefit at a later date and arrange for you as well as Artemis and Thalia to be educated on the matter" informed the queen.
At this, the only thoughts that were running through Artemis and Thalia's minds were 'oh shit oh shit oh shit'. After what had transpired early on in the day and in fact is still ongoing. The love goddesses were going to think The Presence was smiling down upon them when they learn of the new duties they were to perform. They both could only imagine what tortuous things they will come up with and teach all in the name of education. Damn it to Hades they both thought.
At that current moment in time
"…Achoo…" sneezed the Lord of the Underworld.
"Gesundheit father" replied a feminine voice.
"Thank you, Bianca…now where has your brother run off to?" said Hades mumbling the last part.
