Chapter One

Camp Half-blood had never really been the same after they realized that their hero was gone. No one knew where he went or why. At least no one who was talking. The campers who had stayed by his side glared at those who turned their backs on him. They understood why he had left and didn't blame him. Why they were still there? Simple, after Percy left the Gods decided to grant Partial Immortality to those who fought in the Titan war.

Annabeth now understood why she was on the receiving end of glares from practically everyone. She hated herself and constantly went off searching for Percy whenever she had time. Artemis and her hunters also were constantly on the lookout for him. Thalia having taken his absence the hardest.

"Any sign of him Chiron?" Annabeth asked on one of frequent visits to camp. Chiron sighed,

"No my dear. Nothing"

"Where is he? It's been fifteen years"

"Where ever he is Annabeth, just hope he is happy"

"But I need to see him Chiron. I need him to know that I'm sorry" Annabeth told him. She wanted to get back together with him.

"Enough Annabeth. If he hasn't been found by now, it obviously means that he doesn't want to be"

"Fine." Annabeth answered before storming off. Chiron sighed again before looking over the camp, thinking about his favorite camper.

(Artemis' Camp)

"Thalia, Lady Artemis wants to see you" a huntress called out to her. Thaila turned from where she was practicing her archery skills and waved the huntress off,

"Thanks Rebecca"

Placing her bow on her back, she made her way to her mistress's tent. She knocked on the wooden stake planted outside the entrance and waited for a response. A few seconds later she was granted permission and she went in.

"My Lady you called for me?" Thalia spoke as she bowed. Artemis smiled briefly from where she sat.

"Yes Thalia, have a seat" she gestured towards one of the low chairs near her. Thalia did as she was bidden and took a seat.

"Zeus has finally given me permission to have an official quest to search for Perseus" Thalia brightened at once at hearing that.

"Finally, I've been asking him since he left" Artemis smiled at her lieutenant.

"I'm afraid it wasn't because you wore him down that he agree." She turned serious. "A new war is brewing. A primordial is coming. Zeus knows we cannot win this without our greatest hero. He wants us to find Perseus to fight for us" Thalia first paled at the thought of a war with another Primordial before her face screwed up with rage. Lightening crackling over her body,

"Has Zeus lost his mind?!" she exploded. Thunder rumbled loudly above them. She faced upwards,

"Oh put a sock in it!" she yelled. The thunder ceased.

"Has our father even thought of the possibility that Percy will say no? I mean he left. For fifteen years, I don't think he will fight for the Gods again. Not when majority of them forgot him until five years after he left." Artemis agreed privately.

"Perseus may not like it, but he will fight. His fatal flaw won't let him do anything else" Thalia shook her head,

"Don't be so sure my Lady, he was betrayed by those he was loyal to. That loyalty may have already vanished" Artemis' face turned solemn and she prayed that what Thalia said was wrong.

"Well we will have to find him to find out either way" she informed her Lieutenant. Thalia sighed,

"Very well my lady, would you like me to get the girls to pack up?" Artemis nodded,

"Indeed Thalia. We leave at first light" Thalia bowed and exited.

"Huntresses pack up! We leave at first light" Thalia shouted through the camping ground. There was several excited mutterings at the news before they hurried around, packing up.

"Whats going on Thalia?" Phoebe asked. Thalia smiled grimly,

"Zeus has ordered us to find Perseus"

"Well that's a good thing right? That's what you have wanted" replied Phoebe

"Zeus only wants him found so he can save the Gods yet again"

"Oh"

"Yes oh"

"Perseus is probably going to say no isn't he?"

"Yep. This is not how I wanted my reunion with my cousin to go" Phoebe put a hand on her shoulder and squeezed gently,

"At least you will get to see him" she said, trying to cheer her friend up. Thalia looked at her weirdly,

"Why are you being so nice towards him? You're probably the biggest man-hater aside from Lady Artemis herself" Phoebe chuckled,

"Perseus did a lot for us, especially Lady Artemis. He is probably the only male I have any respect for"

"I'm sure Percy will be proud to hear that" Thalia responded laughing a little.

"As he should be" Phoebe said snootily, "Anyway I should help with the packing" she walked off to her tent.

"So My lady, where shall we start?" Thalia asked.

"Anywhere near the sea would be my guess. How about you? You knew him the best, any favorite places he had?" Thalia thought hard for a moment,

"Not aside from the obvious places, I mean it's been fifteen years we would have found him in any of his known places" Artemis sighed,

"That's not really helpful Thalia"

"Camp Jupiter?" she offered helpfully. Artemis looked at her for a moment before sighing again,

"It's better than nothing"

(CAMP JUPITER)

"I really hope he is here" Thalia informed her mistress, "I don't fancy running round the entire country to find him"

"Me either Thalia" Artemis replied. They continued walking until they reached the entrance of the camp. Two teenagers were standing guard.

"Halt! Who goes there?" one called out. Artemis stalked forward and shimmered into her Roman form,

"Put you weapons down boy! How dare you point your weapon at me" she shouted at them in fury. The Romans paled before dropping to their knees and begging for forgiveness.

"Lady Diana, forgive us, we did not recognize you at first"

"Let it not happen again boy or you will be spending the rest of your life as an animal! Now. Take us to your Praetors immediately. They bowed again,

"Yes my lady. This way my lady" the other teenager muttered, turning round and walking through the entrance.

"My Lady Diana, how can the Romans help you?" Jason asked as he bowed low towards the Goddess.

"Rise Praetors. I'm looking for Perseus Jackson, is he here?" she asked, getting straight to the point. Jason and Piper exchanged a look,

"No my lady. We haven't seen or heard from him in nearly fifteen years" Artemis was disappointed.

"Do you have any idea where he could be?" they shook their heads,

"No my lady. He may have even left the country for all we know" Artemis and Thaila paled slightly at that.

"If he has, I will kick his ass" Thalia muttered darkly to herself. Artemis overheard and smirked slightly.

"Very well. We shall leave; we have a lot of ground to cover. Goodbye" she nodded at them before flashing herself and her huntresses out.

(TIME SKIP)

"It's been five months my lady. Where is he?" Thalia moaned. Artemis herself was annoyed at how long Perseus had managed to avoid her however she was secretly impressed at the same time. Not many could claim the same.

"I don't know Thalia. Perhaps we should broaden our search to other countries, it's looking more and more likely that's we he is." Thalia sighed.

"Kelp head. You better be grateful for the effort we have put in" Artemis smirked slightly,

"Unless of course he doesn't want to see anyone then he will probably shuck us out."

"True" suddenly the air shimmered in front of them and an IM message appeared showing Hazel and Frank.

"My lady" they both bowed low, "We have an idea where he might be" Artemis and Thalia both stepped forward eagerly,

"Where!?" she commanded coldly,

"Alaska Lady Diana. The land beyond the Gods. We went there once to free Thantos; Percy always said that he liked it up there. It was freeing"

"Right thank you both. Thalia will let you know if we find anything" she cut the connection.

"Tell the girls I will be back soon, I'm going to Olympus to tell the Gods that Perseus may have been found"

"My lady" Thalia bowed before sprinting back towards the camp. Artemis meanwhile flashed to Olympus.

Just her luck, the rest of the council was already there.

"Daughter, have you found something?" Zeus asked. Artemis nodded as she took her seat.

"Yes Father, I have reason to believe that Perseus can be found in Alaska" there were mutterings around the room,

"Alaska?" Zeus boomed. "Why there of all places?"

"Probably so we won't go after him Father" Athena informed him, "It is after all the land beyond the Gods."

"Artemis, are you willing to go there?" Zeus asked in concern. Artemis nodded gravely,

"I am father"

"Very well. Select a couple of huntresses to accompany you. I declare this Council meeting at an end" he boomed before flashing out, the other God's following. Poseidon and Athena stayed.

"I will accompany you" Poseidon told her before he too flashed out.

"I will go with you as well sister. Perseus may need a lot of persuading to come back"

"Thank you Athena. Nearly sixteen years. That's a long time to go without contacting anyone"

"Perhaps that's what he wanted" Athena informed her before flashing out as well. Artemis sighed before flashing back to her hunters.

"Perseus may have been found." She informed them as soon as appeared.

"I need two volunteers to come with me to Alaska"

"I will" Thalia said instantly.

"As will I" Artemis was surprised when Phoebe volunteered.

"Very well. We leave as soon as our two other companions arrive"

"Who else is coming?" Thalia asked. Just then there was two flashes and Athena and Poseidon appeared. Poseidon looked better than he had for the last fifteen years. Finally he could tell his son how sorry he was.

"Amelia, you are in charge until we return. Don't hunt any major monsters without me otherwise you will all be at Camp Half-blood before you can blink" she warned them before turning back to her companions,

"Let's go" and together they all flashed away to the boarder of Alaska.

"Let the fun begin" Thalia muttered.
