Previously On Helm of Lightning (PERCY POV)

Artemis spoke, "It was my task to bring those demigods to Olympus"

I snorted, "Only so your dad could smite them just for being alive"

"However," I said, "if you need someone to take back then take me, leave the kids alone.

She huffed, "Fine"

I stuck my hands out for her to cuff them which she did, then we flashed into a throne room with all the Olympians there.

I bowed, then said, "Lord Hermes, Lady Demeter always a pleasure to see you"

They both nodded then Zeus yelled, "You know this child" he yelled at Demeter

"Yes it is customary for a grandmother to know their grandchild is it not." she said.

Hermes Continued, "Father you know I'm always in the underworld…" Zeus cut him off, "So this is Hades demigod spawn" suddenly there were two flashes and Hades and Persephone shouted at Zeus, "Don't touch our child"

Everybody shrieked, "He is a Godling then…"

NOW (PERCY POV)

Surprising everyone I spoke calmly, "No, I'm not a Godling I'm a demigod born to the mortal Sally Jackson and Hades. However, to know the circumstances that led to me living in the underworld and being adopted by Persephone you will have to search my mind."

Zeus stood and projected my memories on to the Hephaestus TV for all the gods present to watch while I just looked down not wanting to relive the moment that Hades showed me. Hades saw this and came to comfort me. He didn't need to see it because he already lived it. In all actuality the memories were Hades that he put in my head after I asked. After it was over the gods pulled back.

"Oh. My. Gods. Perc…" Zeus began but was cut off when Perseus said,

"Listen Zeus, I don't want any of your crap so you can keep it in your head…that goes for the rest of you I've already been remorseful and if I'm going to do what I need to do in the future I don't know if I can feel that feeling."

Athena Finally chimed in, "What is it exactly that you have to do in the future?

"Thank you Lady Athena, in the future if ever my father fades then I will take over as lord of the underworld and gain his domains, but at the moment I am Prince and Heir to the underworld only."

"But to be able to hold a domain, like the underworld and wealth you would need to be immortal; right now you appear to be just a regular demigod." Artemis said

I beamed because this was already thought of, "You see the Fates have told my family that if I do an honorable deed and survive an impossible task I'll become partially immortal still aging however." I paused then continued, "In order to become my Father's full immortal heir I would need to assist in or actually save the world" Everybody paled thinking that if Kronos truly was rising his immortal task could become come true.

Finally Zeus stood, "we cannot allow a big three demigod like this to roam free he must be sent to camp or will DIE at the hands of my master bolt!"

"What I will not go to that insufferable camp, I have been trained, why you would assume I'd go against you is a mystery to me" I raged

Persephone got up and instantly calmed me because even if she wasn't my birth mother she was my only real mother.

"Fine I'll go to your stupid little camp and knock all of the arrogant jerks down a notch," I said calmly as all the gods began to flash out leaving me and Artemis.

"Well I guess I should get back to the underworld. I know about your solo quest so I will join your hunt and those demigods tomorrow on Apollo's chariot" I told her as I was about to shadow travel home she grabbed my shoulder and said,

"No I must have you sleep in the forest with the rest of us tonight and tomorrow you will go to camp on the sun chariot." At this I just shrugged and we flash back to camp.

Not even an hour back at her camp Cadmus walked up to me and tried to punch me, however I caught his punch and grabbed his neck my open hand. Giving both a tight squeeze Cadmus fell to the ground, as I said,

"He'll wake up while were on Apollo's bus tomorrow." I shadow travelled to a high branch in a in a short tree and pulled a neck pillow out of my backpack.

But before I could fall asleep there was a loud noise like some on kicking my tree and I realized it was Annabeth. I shadow travelled behind her and said,

"What do you want 'smart one'," I mocked.

"I want you to stop hurting my friends," She responded.

I retorted, "Name one instance in which I hurt your friends."

"You fool, you hurt Luke by always talking to Thalia she kept on turning him down that is why he is working with Kronos an…" I cut her off,

"Golden boy is working with grandfather...hah…that is just great"

"That is not the point, you just assaulted Cadmus without warrant I hate you and you should go to Hades," she did not get a chance to continue her sentence as Percy grabbed Annabeth and punched her in the midsection making her keel over in pain.

"You will never ever use my father's name as a curse word, for as long as you live," I exclaimed as she passed out due to pain.

Out of nowhere lightning came and hit Percy in the back who was on his feet faster than the speed of sound, "Thalia come out, I know only one Greek demigod who can control lightning and it's you."

"What is wrong with you Percy, I come out here to thank you for saving my life and you are beating up on my closest acquaintance," Thalia blew a fuse and was going off on me. I grabbed both of her flailing arms and put them at her side as the shadows restricted her from hitting me again.

"Thalia you are not listening to reason I hit her because she was verbally accusing me of sending her 'Golden Boy' to the dark side, like it is my fault I…." She crashed her lips on to mine stopping me mid-sentence as I wrapped my arms around her waist and hers my neck. As they passionately kissed, nothing else mattered in the world. They stopped abruptly when they heard the goddess of maidens clear her throat. She looked at them with animosity.

"How dare you defile this woman in my presence, you stupid pig. Give me one reason why I shouldn't turn you into the jackalope!" Artemis yelled.

Thalia stood protectively in front of me trying to make sure I was not turned into a furry creature the second we started 'dating'.

"Sister stop threatening him." Thalia demanded, "He is my friend and I won't let you delegate him to the animal kingdom.

"Fine, go to bed and I won't let you worry about your boyfriend being a creature." Artemis huffed angrily. She flashed all the girls back to camp and left me next to my tree all alone to fall asleep.

-LINEBREAK- (PERCY POV)

I woke to here Thalia ask where I was I just smiled at the fact she recognized that I wasn't there yet. Then Cadmus strode up to Thalia and said,

"Hey babe forget about him, he probably went to wallow in his filth." Thalia pushed him away, but then he went to go back and hit Thalia. I dropped from my perch in between them and said,

"Forget my warning already Sea Spawn, I said don't touch Thalia." At that I grabbed is head and slammed it into my knee breaking his nose even more. Then I grabbed his shirt collar and brought my knee into his precious family jewels.

Just then Apollo drove up in a Maserati Spyder that while he was driving, the sleek spyder turned into a large charter bus.

"Hey ladies, want a ride" he said but faster than the light from the sun reaches earth each hunter had their bow out and pointed at Apollo. He just put on a cheeky grin and said,

"Hunters I know the rules no flirting or talking to you, now where's that demigod who was on Olympus last night?" He said looking around he spotted me, "Percy man. Score with any hunters last night?"

I blushed madly looking around for Thalia who looked mad I responded, "No I didn't, Lord Apollo, I'm taken" whispering the last part to him only.

"Taken by who?" He demanded, "Is it my demigod sister? Don't lie, I am the god of truth you know."

"Yes" I said squeamishly

"What was that speak up?" he said looking genuine, but I knew it was fake.

"Obviously all that singing has made you deaf," I muttered loud enough for him to hear, "I said yes"

A gasp was heard by everyone when they realized I was telling the truth because Apollo was smiling from ear to ear all eyes turned to Thalia including the wide-eyed Annabeth and the still groaning in pain Cadmus. Thalia ran up to me and smacked me for making it public the fact they were a couple, but then she planted a huge tender kiss to his cheek. They quickly ran to the bus, and plopped down on the first two seats. Once everyone had piled in Apollo asked,

"So Thalia, want to drive, seeing as you're the closest to license?"

Her eyes widened, "Of course, I know a little about driving…"
