Percy JACKSON & THE OLYMPIANS : READING ANAKLUSMOS14'S "INTERTWINED DESTINIES"

'Chapter 2', read Demeter.

When Zoe made her way back to camp, she made a bee-line

'Huh?', asked Apollo confused. 'How can you make a line of bees?'. Everyone stared at him. 'Are you serious or are you joking?', asked Hera incredulously. 'Course I'm serious', exclaimed Apollo. Everyone stared at him some more and then shook themselves out of their stupor as Demeter began reading again.

for the big house in search of Chiron and Jason.When she arrived, she found Annabeth and Jason having a discussion with Chiron about the Greek gods which Jason seemed to be having a hard time grasping.

She cleared her throat to draw the attention of everyone in the room as she walked in.

"Zoe, what can I do for you?" Chiron asked a little surprised.

Zoe paused for a second as she wasn't sure how she should explain the situation to Chiron. Eventually she decided the truth would be best as long as she left out details about Percy.

"Lady Artemis contacted me." She explained slowly.

'I still cant believe that you went and visited her despite being told not to', fumed Zeus. 'I cant believe that you went and closed down Olympus despite all of us telling you not to', retorted Artemis. Everyone started laughing. 'Would you like some ice for that BURN husband?', asked Hera smirking at him. Zeus scowled and motioned for Demeter to continue reading which she did.

Annabeth's and Chiron's eyes widened at her words.

"Did she say anything about Percy?" Annabeth asked hopefully.

Zoe hesitated for a minute, disliking having to lie to one of her best friends in camp, "Not really. She said she didn't know where he was but that Jason and the quest he must take are the key to finding him."

'Liar', sang Apollo and Hermes together. Zoe rolled her eyes.

Jason looked at the former huntress confused, "What do you mean? I really don't know who this Percy guy is. I really don't see how I can be the key to finding him."

Zoe shook her head, "She said Hera has been captured. Jason must be the one to ask for a quest to rescue her and that I would find my way to Percy on the quest."

At the mention of Hera being captured, Chiron and Annabeth paled a bit.

"Then we must send him to the hunters. Did Lady Artemis inform you of their current location?" Chiron asked.

Zoe nodded, "They will arrive by morning and Jason must be the one to seek the quest from the oracle."

Apollo raised an eyebrow. 'The oracle has a name you know. I believe it is Rachel'. Percy snorted. 'You believe', he said scathingly. 'Like you weren't thinking about bedding her without Artemis finding out before she became your oracle, Apollo'. Artemis looked enraged. 'You what?', she shouted at Apollo spittle flying from her mouth, so great was her anger. 'Geez sis, relax. You seriously need anger management'. 'DONT', shouted Artemis, 'CALL ME SIS!'. With that she drew her bow but Demeter not wanting to see the siblings get really pissed at each other )as that would result in arrows sticking out of everyone), read on hurriedly.

Chiron nodded while Jason just looked confused, "The hunters? The oracle?"

Annabeth shook her head, "Come on Jason, I will show you to your cabin and explain about it on the way."

Hermes smirked. 'Wonder what they'll do in his cabin', he said wiggling his eyebrows suggestively. Athena glared at him and sent a flock of owls to attack him and summoned her spear and Aegis. Hermes looked horrified and ran out of the throne covered in scratches and owl poop being chased by a certain goddess of wisdom screaming bloody murder with the laughter of the other gods echoing behind him.

Jason just nodded numbly and allowed Annabeth to lead him outside while Zoe stayed back to speak to Chiron. Once the other two were gone, Chiron sighed loudly, "There is more to it, isn't there?"

'There always is', grumbled Percy.

Zoe gave the old centaur a small smile at his attentiveness, "Yes Chiron there is. I know where Percy is but you must keep this information to yourself."

Chiron nodded slowly, "Of course my dear, anything you tell me will be kept in confidence."

"That Jason boy speaks of the Roman gods instead of the Greeks, correct?" Zoe said slowly.

Chiron nodded still confused until his eyes widened to the size of dinner plates, "No! They wouldn't do that would they?"

"They" wouldn't', said Zeus glaring at Hera and Artemis. 'But its appears my wife and daughter would'.

Zoe nodded slowly, "I'm not sure why, but they have exchanged Jason and Percy. Percy is being brought to Lupa as we speak."

Chiron's horse-half shuffled a bit nervously, "But why? They can't possibly be doing what I think their doing."

Zoe raised an eyebrow before she gasped, "They plan to unite the Greeks and Romans. That is the only reason why they would exchange leaders."

Hera sighed. 'Its the only way to survive whats coming', she said sadly.

Chiron just shook his head, "I know you must remember the carnage from the Civil War. I can't understand why they would risk so much death again."

Zoe looked Chiron directly in the eyes, "There is more Chiron. A few days ago, Hera visited me in my dreams to inform me to be at the Grand Canyon so I could find Jason and the other boy. She explained to me the reason she took Percy. There is another war coming and it will be worse than the last against the Titans."

Chiron's brows furrowed in thought before he gasped, "Gaia?"

Zoe nodded solemnly, "Zeus closed Olympus thinking it would fix the problem

'You're a fool', grumbled Poseidon. Hades snorted. 'Thank you for your totally true but also totally useless words Captain Obvious', he said sarcastically. 'I knew that from the moment I saw him once I got out of our dear old father's stomach that this guy was a total nincompoop. Everyone snorted. Zeus glared at them as Demeter continued.

but Hera and Artemis made a different plan behind his back."

Zeus began grumbling something but everyone ignored him. He was most probably grumbling-'They call me fools. They're the fools. Gaea would just go back to sleep if we shut down Olympus. I am positive. After all it was entirely my brilliance that they even got out of father's stomach. Stupid, idiotic bas...[We interrupt this rant to bring you back to the story. You may continue this story safe in the knowledge that you will be protected from such harmful thoughts].

Chiron shook his head slowly, "They play a dangerous game; a dangerous, dangerous game."

Zoe nodded her head slowly, "Do you think it could work?" She asked hopefully.

Chiron was silent for a moment as he thought, "Perhaps. If Jason is able to gain the trust of the campers, they may be willing to accept the Romans."

"And what about the Romans accepting the Greeks?" Zoe asked.

'Next to impossible', said Aphrodite. Everyone looked at her surprised. They had forgotten she was there.

Chiron frowned a bit, "They are less accepting but perhaps since it is Percy who is in their camp, it could work. I am sure you have been to Camp Jupiter with Artemis, err, I mean Diana; they respect discipline and battlefield prowess. I have no doubt Percy will do well there but getting them to accept the Greeks will be tough. If anyone can do it, it is Percy. He is a born leader. I think he may be able to act as a bridge between the two groups."

A small smile appeared on Zoe's face before it was replaced by a frown. Chiron gently put a hand on her shoulder, "He will come back to you. In all my years training demigods, the connection you two share is the strongest I have come across. You two are like the male and female version of the same person. I doubt even the gods themselves could break it as Percy showed when the unfortunate incident occurred here at camp before the final battle." He said looking apologetic.

Zoe smiled, "You were doing your duty protecting the campers Chiron. And thank you."

Chiron nodded, "Get some sleep my dear, I believe you will have a difficult journey in front of you."

Zoe nodded and made her way out of the big house and into the Artemis cabin thinking about the quest that would begin the next day.

'I hate quests', grumbled Percy. Zoe nodded earnestly while Nico and Bianca never having gone on a quest, stayed silent'.

Percy Jackson felt himself slowly awakening from what had been the longest and most peaceful sleep of his life. He felt his eyes slowly open before they widened. He had absolutely no idea where in the name of his father he was. He slowly looked around at his surroundings to find himself in some kind of burned down and abandoned building.

'The Wolf House', muttered everyone in the room bar Bianca who looked at Nico incredulously. 'You too?', she asked. nico shifted uneasily. When they found out what he'd done, Hazel was dead again while he was as good as dead.

As he slowly got to his feet and looked around, a low growl behind him made his hair stand up on end. On instinct he held out his hand as a spear shot of out the earth. He caught it and turned around to find two rather large wolves growling in his direction.

Percy's eyes widened before they narrowed as a shadow wrapped around his body and armor appeared on his body. He glanced down to find the armor seeming strange, it wasn't like he was used to. He didn't have time to think about it as one of the wolves made its way closer to him.

Percy tensed before the wolf lunged at him. Percy ducked low as the wolf jumped clean over him as the second charged forward only to be slammed in the face as a shield sprung from a bracelet on Percy's wrist. The first recovered and turned around to charge again only to have Percy kick it in its side, knocking it off its feet as Percy raised his spear to finish it off.

'You do that, you're dead', said Hephaestus matter-of-factly.

"STOP!" A commanding female voice growled at him.

'Enter Lupa', said Athena walking back into the room. Everyone looked at her curiously. 'Wheres Hermes?'. She smirked evilly and high-fived Artemis. 'Infirmary', she said grinning sadistically. Everyone shuddered.

Percy spun around expecting to find a woman but only found another half-dozen wolves standing behind the largest wolf who seemed to be sizing Percy up.

"Do not kill that wolf." The voice growled in his mind.

Percy raised an eyebrow, "They attacked me, whoever you are."

'They were testing you', said Athena. 'I know', grumbled Percy. 'No offense but please stop being such a know-it-all. Its irritating to be frank'. Athena's eyes widened before she sighed and nodded. Everyone looked from her to Percy surprised. 'Well', said Poseidon finally. 'I never talked to her nicely and never will, so I guess it makes sense she would listen to you. She likes you anyways'. Everyone shrugged not quite sure how to respond to that.

The wolf growled threateningly at Percy who just narrowed his eyes and prepared to fight it.

'So you fight anything and everything that moves huh?', asked Hestia looking at him amused. Percy shrugged.

Suddenly the wolf began to glow until in its place was a beautiful woman with black hair and overly large canine teeth.

Percy's eyes widened before a name seemingly popped into his mind, "Lupa." He said a little confused.

Lupa's eyes widened before she nodded and gave Percy a small wolfish grin, "Relax demigod, we mean you no harm."

Percy raised an eyebrow but didn't relax, making Lupa's smile grow, her large canines poking out of her mouth.

"Yes it appears Diana may have been right about you. I think you'll do well." Lupa said making Percy even more confused.

"What do you want with me?" Percy asked.

Lupa eyed him carefully, "I was simply testing your instincts. I am pleased to see they are still sharp. Do you know who you are?"

Percy thought about it for a moment then nodded, "Yes I am Perseus Jackson, son of Hades and Persephone."

Hades smiled. 'Atleast you remember that', he told Percy trying to comfort him. Percy stared at him. 'Not helping', he said. Hades frowned.

Lupa shook her head, "No, you are Perseus Jackson, son of Pluto and Proserpina and you will do well to remember that. What is the last thing you remember?"

Percy tried to think about it but he couldn't seem to put his memories together. He shook his head, "I don't remember. It's like it's on the tip of my tongue but I can't say it." He said angrily.

Lupa nodded, "Relax Perseus. You have been sent here to come to camp."

Percy looked at her confused before clutching his head painfully, "Ugh… What do you mean camp? Why don't I remember anything?"

Lupa shook her head, "I have no answers for you but you will find them in camp as long you as you make it there alive."

Percy looked at her confused, "What do mean make it there alive?"

Lupa smirked a bit, "You are a Roman demigod. (Percy snorted). In Rome you must make your own way. There are no free passes here. Make it to camp alive and you will find your memories."

Percy scowled but nodded, "Fine but answer me one question."

Lupa narrowed her eyes, "What is that son of Pluto?"

"Is Zoe at camp? She seems like the only name I can remember and I feel like I'm supposed to find her." He asked seriously.

Zoe smiled and snuggled herself further into him happy that he atleast hadn't forgotten everything about her.

Lupa's lips quirked into a slight smirk before the expression vanished, "That is not for me to answer. But I will tell you your only chance of finding her is making it to camp and doing well."

Percy frowned and nodded, "Fine, where is camp?"

'Oakland Hills, Caldecott Tunnel, San Francisco', said Nico. Everyone stared at him. 'How did you know that?', asked Athena suspiciously. Nico's eyes widened. 'It'll probably be in the book', he squeaked. Athena nodded but still looked at him suspiciously.

Lupa's body began to glow until in her place was a wolf again, "Go south. You will find the camp if you try hard enough. It will call to you, son of Pluto." She said before she and her pack turned and sprinted out of the wolf house.

Percy watched Lupa and her pack run off before shaking his head, "Would it be that hard to give me the damn address?" He said to no one in particular before making his way out of the burned down building and in the general direction of south.

Artemis chuckled. 'Its a...'. 'Test', interrupted Percy looking annoyed. 'I know'.

Zoe awoke the next morning early, eager to begin the quest to rescue Hera.

'Well atleast you're eager to rescue me', smiled Hera. Zoe scoffed. 'I was eager to find Percy. Not the person who had taken Percy'. Percy smirked smugly at Hera while she scowled. 'I take that back', she muttered.

She finally had some relief, she knew where Percy was and she knew he was safe and that was what mattered. She knew Artemis would keep her word and make sure Percy was safe, at least to the best of her ability. But Zoe was slightly worried about Percy in the Roman camp. He had a tendency to be rebellious and that could lead to some problems for him.

As Zoe finished her shower and packed up her stuff in anticipation of leaving camp, a familiar hunting horn rang out over the silence of the early morning bringing a smile to Zoe's face. She darted out of her cabin and to the bottom of Half-Blood Hill where she waited to greet her former sisters.

As the hunters made their way down the hill, Thalia noticed Zoe waiting for them anxiously and smiled as she approached her, "So, who needs a quest?" She asked in mock irritation.

Zoe smiled, "Apparently you have a half-brother who we found at the Grand Canyon yesterday. His name is Jason."

Thalia's smile disappeared from her face as her eyes widened, "What did you say?"

Percy grinned. 'Finally, she gets to meet her brother'. He rubbed his hands gleefully. 'I hope she gets pissed'.

Zoe looked at her confused, "There is a son of Zeus here. His name is Jason and Lady Artemis told me he was the one who needed to lead the quest."

"Where is he?" Thalia demanded.

Zoe held her hands up, "In your old cabin. What's with the hostility?"

Thalia ignored her and made a beeline for the Zeus cabin where Jason just happened to be walking out the door. When Thalia was ten feet away, she froze.

Zoe walked up beside her, "Are you okay?"

Thalia shook her head as she continued to stare at the demigod who hadn't noticed her yet.

"J..J..Jason Grace?" Thalia asked nervously.

'No. John Greene', said Percy smirking in the direction of Dionysius. He looked up from the wine magazine he was reading. 'Oh don't mind me. Go ahead'. With that he turned back to book.

Jason finally noticed Thalia as he walked up to her slowly, still confused.

"Yea, who are you?" He asked.

Thalia's eyes widened before she ran forward and tackled Jason into a hug as tears fell from her eyes. Zoe and the hunters looked at the scene in confusion.

Jason looked at the girl who was crying into his chest with a strange look.

"I don't know you. Why are you hugging me?" He asked.

Thalia pulled her head back from his chest, "Jason, it's me, Thalia."

Jason's eyes widened, "T…Thalia?"

Thalia nodded as tears fell from her eyes, "She said you were dead. She said my brother was dead."

'Who?', asked Nico perplexed. 'Their mother', answered Percy.

Tears welled up in Jason's eyes as he hugged his sister back both of them crying to each other and trying to explain where they had been over the years, Jason not having many answers while he listened to Thalia's life story closely.

After about fifteen minutes, Zoe couldn't stop herself from speaking up, "Thalia," She asked carefully. Thalia looked up from her conversation with her brother. "We need Jason to get the quest. I'm sorry but Lady Artemis said he has to lead it." She asked quietly.

Thalia's eyes flashed with annoyance before they softened and she nodded, "Okay."

Jason walked over to Zoe who pointed at the red-headed huntress he was looking for.

"Um… What do I do?" He asked confused.

Percy smirked. 'You offer her a sacrifice'. 'What do you mean? What kind of sacrifice?', asked Aphrodite. 'Well, if its a girl, nothing is need, but if its a boy, all she requires is your manhood'. 'WHAT", yelled a;; the guys in the room. Percy and the females began laughing. 'Your faces are hilarious', they exclaimed. 'Whats going on here?', came an irritated voice. They looked around to find that it was Ares who had spoken. He was looking extremely sleepy. 'Is there any action going on?', he asked. 'No', said Percy. Ares groaned. 'Wake me up when it starts...if it starts'. With that he went back to sleep. Everyone looked at each other. 'I didn't know he was there', admitted Hephaestus. They shrugged as they didn't know either.

Zoe rolled her eyes, "Just ask her how to rescue Hera."

Jason raised an eyebrow before he shrugged, "Okay, how do I rescue Lady Hera?"

Rachel's eyes glowed green making Jason take a step back in shock before she looked directly at Jason.

"Child of lightning, beware the earth,

The giants' revenge the seven shall birth.

The forge and owl shall break the cage,

And death unleash through Hera's rage."

'Seriously?', asked Percy. 'They free you and cause you're pissed, you kill'em?'. 'She better not', said Athena and Hephaestus glaring at her. She put her arms up in surrender.

Zoe jumped forward to catch Rachel as she collapsed unconscious after giving the prophecy.

"Whoa, is she alright?" Jason asked worriedly.

Thalia put a hand on her brother's shoulder, "She's fine. It happens after giving a prophecy; it goes with being the oracle."

Jason nodded, "Okay good. Now does anyone know what that prophecy is supposed to mean?"

Zoe laid Rachel softly on the ground before turning to Jason, "It means that we need a child of Athena and a child of Hephaestus for this quest. I would recommend Annabeth as she is the most experienced child of Athena in camp."

Jason smiled at bit as Thalia raised an eyebrow but kept her mouth shut.

'Someone's got a crush', squealed Aphrodite. Everyone covered their ears and removed them only after Demeter started reading which was a good five minutes later as Aphrodite was ranting about how they were her favorite couple after Perzoe(no-one dared ask her what that was). Eventually when she paused, out-of-breath, Demeter began reading hastily.

"And Leo will fit the requirement as a son of Hephaestus." Jason added.

"Uh, there are much more experienced children of Hephaestus here in camp." Zoe argued not wanting to spend any more time than necessary with Leo.

Jason shook his head, "He came to camp with me. I feel like he is the one who is supposed to accompany me on this quest."

Zoe scowled but bit her tongue, "Fine but we need to leave as soon as possible. The longer we wait the less likely we'll find Hera in time."

Jason raised an eyebrow, "You're coming too?" He asked a little hesitantly.

Zoe glared at him, "Lady Artemis said I need to be on this quest. This is the key to finding Percy and there is nothing that will stop me from getting to him."

Jason looked like he wanted to argue but Thalia grabbed his shoulder and shook her head vehemently.

"A command from an Olympian, especially my mistress, is non-negotiable little brother.

'Yes it is', smirked Artemis.

And you will need Zoe. She is more experienced than all of you put together." Thalia said sternly.

'Yes I am and yes you will'. It was Zoe's turn to smirk.

Jason noticed his sister's look and turned back to Zoe, "I'm sorry for that, I'm grateful to have you along to help us in the quest."

Zoe looked at him suspiciously before sighing, "I'm sorry for being so harsh with you when we first met. I have had a bad experience with another son of Zeus who you look a lot like. It brought back some bad memories. And I have been looking for Percy from seven months now without success."

Jason was surprised but smiled, "I understand, we're cool."

Zoe nodded, "Okay, I will go get Annabeth and tell her to get ready to leave." She said before taking off to find the daughter of Athena.

Jason turned back to his sister, "Another son of Zeus? Do we have any more siblings?"

'You better not', glared Hera. Zeus shook his head and made the sign symbolizing-"cross my heart and hope to die". 'We hope you die too', muttered Percy, too low for Zeus too hear. Zoe, Nico and Bianca did though and they struggled to contain their laughter.

Thalia shook her head slowly, "Zoe was a hunter for thousands of years before she met Percy and left the hunt." She explained making Jason's eyes widen a bit. "The son of Zeus she's talking about is Heracles." She said making her brother's jaw drop and eyes widen further than thought possible.

'Anything is possible', said Percy seriously. 'So Aphrodite not being obsessed with love is possible too', reasoned Artemis. 'Uhh, with a few exceptions of course', said Percy hastily.

Percy had been travelling south for about four days but had yet to find the camp Lupa said would call to him. His frustrations were really starting to get to him now as he was sick and tired of sleeping outside, trying to keep one eye open and be ready for the next monster attack. The two monsters who seemed to have an especially big hard on

Apollo whistled and laughed manically.

for him where the two snake-haired women, Stheno and Euryale.

The two gorgon sisters, as they had called themselves when Percy asked why they wouldn't stay dead, were working for some mistress who apparently wanted them to capture Percy alive. Fat chance of that happening Percy had thought. Despite his best efforts, he had yet to find a way to kill the two monsters. He had literally tried everything he could think of to get rid of them but these monsters just wouldn't stay dead for more than a few hours.

'The doors are open', muttered Percy.

As Percy walked through the Berkeley Hills, he suddenly felt himself being drawn to the Caldecott Tunnel which happened to only be about a mile away to the south. Just as he was about to make his way in that direction, a low growl from behind him drew his attention.

"I'm going Lupa relax, your directions of 'go south' did not exactly make the place that easy to find." Percy said as he turned around expecting to see Lupa and her pack behind him. Instead, he saw a different wolf standing behind at least a dozen others, none of which Percy recognized as the ones he had seen with the Mother of Rome.

"I'm afraid you have me mistaken little demigod; I am not that worthless bitch or her puny little pack of mutts." A deep male voiced growled in his mind.

Percy's eyes widened as he tensed, "Who are you then?"

'Lycaon', I think said Artemis hesitantly.

The wolf looked at him with hungry eyes, "I am Lycaon, King of the Werewolves and you will be coming with me either in peace or in pieces, its your choice."

'I'm not coming in peace and I have have the curse of Achilles so I'm not coming in pieces either', hissed Percy. 'So get lost before I make you'. 'Your talking to a book', said Zeus smugly thinking that he had finally embarrassed Percy. 'Better than talking to you', retorted Percy. Everyone laughed. 'Some more ice for your burn father?', asked Artemis smirking. 'It appears you're being careless. You're getting quite a lot of them'.

Percy eyes narrowed, "I don't care if you're king of the world, I go where I want when I want."

'Eat that Fido', yelled Percy. Everyone looked at him strangely and shook their heads.

Lycaon's eyes flashed with anger, "Insolent little brat. My mistress commands that I bring you to her in chains or with your head on a platter and I have no intention of failing my mistress."

'Wouldn't the platter become messy?', asked Apollo but everyone ignored him. He pouted and slumped back onto his throne.

"Good for you but if you want me; you're going to have to kill me Fido." Percy growled as a shadow wrapped around his body and covered him in his new Roman style armor. He held out his hand as his spear shot out of the earth while he uncapped his pen on the other hand, a new weapon he had found in his pocket a few days earlier.

"My pleasure demigod." Lycaon growled as two of the wolves behind him charged forward straight at Percy.

Before they could reach him, Percy launched his spear at one of them, catching the beast in the throat but not killing it as it laid there whimpering. The second jumped at Percy forcing him to roll to his left to avoid the razor-sharp claws of the beast. Percy jumped to his feet and but a third wolf snuck up behind Percy as he stood up, and wrapped its jaws around Percy's sword hand.

Percy expected to be hurt but was shocked when he heard the sickening crunch of the wolf's teeth breaking again his skin.

'Ha', yelled Percy. Everyone exchanged exasperated glances that said-'He's a lost cause'.

Percy took a powerful strike at the injured monster with his sword, severing its head clean off its body before he activated his shield and swung it around to catch the wolf behind him in the face. Percy drove his blade through the top of the monster's head.

Lycaon became enraged at seeing three of his pack defeated so easily, "Attack, all of you!" He roared at the rest of his pack.

The wolves stepped forward to attack when a silver arrow flew from their left and caught the lead wolf in the throat before it dissolved into golden dust.

Lycaon turned to find a silver-eyed twelve-year-old girl with her bow out

'Enter Artemis', said Hestia smiling quietly.

before she released another arrow that flew right through the throat of the wolf in front of Lycaon and into the King of Werewolves' leg causing him to cry out in pain.

Percy stepped forward and slit throat of another one of his pack before Lycaon howled loudly as his pack retreated.

"This isn't over half-breed. You have no idea the kind of power you are up against. You and all of your kind shall bow before my mistress and beg for mercy." He growled before smiling evilly or at least smiling as best a wolf could. "And she will not grant it." He said before he and the remainder of his pack ran off before Artemis could fire another arrow.

Percy turned with his sword still out as the twelve-year-old girl approached him. He could immediately tell this was not a child and knew better than to let his guard down.

"Put down your weapon Perseus. Now." The girl said sternly.

'No', said Percy recklessly.

Percy narrowed his eyes, "You think I am that foolish. I don't know you and I know you are no twelve-year-old."

The girl's lips quirked into a smirk, "I am your friend Perseus, you just do not remember me."

Percy eyed the being before him warily as the words of his mother crept into is mind, 'be wary of my half-sister Artemis, she is no friend of men. She will appear as a young girl but she is not to be trusted.'

Percy shook his head, "No, you are not my friend. My mother warned me about you long ago and said I was to keep my distance from you Artemis."

Artemis' eyes widened before she scowled, "I was not asking you to put your weapon down; that was an order."

Percy raised an eyebrow, "Please forgive me Lady Artemis but I enjoy being a fully intact male.

She smirked evilly as did Zoe.

So if it's all the same to you, I will just be on my way."

Artemis narrowed her eyes, "That would not be wise Perseus. If you wish to ever see Zoe again, you will come with me."

'Blackmailer', yelled Apollo pointing at her accusingly. She rolled her eyes.

Percy's eyes widened as memories flashed through his head, all moving too fast for him to know what they meant before he dropped to his knees clutching his head painfully as his vision began to darken and he felt himself losing consciousness. The last image in his mind was of a pair of volcanic rock black eyes looking at him on the face of a beautiful girl with long silky black hair and a slightly upturned nose, her expression was a slight smirk before it shifted into a soft smile.

'And thats it', said Demeter. 'Who's next?', she asked. 'Me', said Nico as he got up and took the book. He turned the page.

'Chapter 3', read Nico.
