Chapter 5
I own nothing
Percy was unconscious, right now he was annoyed, God's couldn't be "out cold" in the sense that they were aware of everything going on around them unless they were the God of obliviousness. So when he had ice cold water dumped on he he opened his eyes and gave an annoyed glare at his adoptive daughter who gave an innocent smile at him.
"must you do that? " percy asked slightly agitated, he'd take his sister's thunderbolts over cold water.
" No, but it was fun. " Sally smiled." now you should probably get up, everyone's staring. "
Percy was confused at first by that then he looked down and noticed that his white shirt was soaked showing his scarred chest. He sighed, dried himself off magically and then sat up." May I ask how long I was out for? "
" A few hours, it's just after lunch now. " Pheobe explained simply as she ate a apple from the tip of her hunting knife.
" thank you pheobe. " percy smiled and nodded." since I have to be around you all forever now, I'm glad it's with you lot. "
" no, just for the year. " zoe sighed from her bed as she sat down her bow." after thou are Wed to malady, the hunters shall be disbanded in order for her to break her oath. "
" what?that's not fair! " percy protested.
" it is now perseus but it is how things must be. " zoe sighed.
" I'll think of something so that Artemis can keep the hunt. " percy promised." After all I am in charge of the punishment area of Valhalla, mum is in charge of sorting and battle so maybe you could stay as Artemis's Valkeries, same job basically but you gain full immortality, wings and minor godhood. "
" Would be nice. " pheobe smirked." bugging Jennie for all eternity. "
" hey! " snapped a girl who looked 9 with ginger hair which held black streaks through it. Her eyes were a warm violet.
" Claimed or not? " percy asked.
" I think not. " Jennie scoffed in embarrassment.
" tell me, do you have any powers Jennie? " percy asked.
" I make earthquakes and stuff. " she shrugged.
" I think I know your mum. " percy smiled." Himdal can you send me the huntress? " with a rainbow flash a Grey and purple armored woman carrying a spear and club appeared, her hair and eyes exactly like Jennie's but her hair was longer." huntress, is this your daughter? "
" yes, she is one of my daughters, till she dies in battle, I wish her good luck and good battle. " the woman smiled and snapped her fingers, a gray colored club symbol appeared above her head, then a round shield appeared in her lap." A replica of the shield I used to behead a frost giant my daughter, it is a gift for thou, good battle my daughter. " with that she vanished in another rainbow burst.
The other hunters smiled at Jennie, each glad that their sister in arms was now claimed and got a shield to boot. It was wooden but obviously enchanted.
Artemis walked in seeing them all celebrating Jennie, even Sally was. "what happened while I was out?"
"Jennie was claimed by her mother, the huntress one of the gods from the Norse pathelon. " pheobe explained simply." she got the gift of a shield to boot. "
" I see, Jennie I'm happy for you. " artemis smiled then noticed percy with a thoughtful expression as he sat in the corner of the room so she walked over and kicked his foot, getting his attention." what are you trying to think about Perseus?"
"A way in which you can still keep your hunters even after we are forced to marry. " percy sighed.
Artemis looked downcast, she knew that it would happen and she didn't want it to happen but her damned father is forcing her." It is something that I must accept. "
" maybe not, I'm king over the torture side of Valhalla and once we're well, you know... "percy sighed, he didn't like this one bit, not Artemis, he actually enjoyed her company, it was that they were being forced into this." uh, anyway I thought that if you like and if they agree I could make them Valkeries."
"Percy thank you for your kindness you've shown us. " artemis smiled and hugged him, a lot of the girls raised eyebrows and smiled at them, if their lady had to marry anyone, they were glad it was percy, he could be a complete moron at times from what thalia and Sally told them but they also knew he was loyal to a flaw.
"Lady artemis! Lord Persues come quick! " a girl panted from the doorway. She had dirty blonde hair and a Yankees cap in her back pocket." A profficy has been issued involving you. "
Percy and artemis nodded before rushing off towards the big house where Charon ushered them inside.
" so, what's the problem? " percy asked.
" yes uncle, what's wrong? " artemis asked curiously.
" the profficy was issued earlier, it goes like this: daughter of spawn of death must go East to save a god and traverse the pit against all odds, journey with the gods Norse and moon, the daughter of sky and a titan spawn for if not the world falls into rot. A choice alone is hers to make to die or betray at the Father's feet. But for not in the end, a child shall die by a parent's hand" Charon stated glumly.
" wait, which God would be missing? " percy asked.
"It would be Hades, his son Nico has reported he didn't return after the meeting a few hours ago." chiron sighed.
"Looks like this quest calls for godly intervention. " percy noted. Chiron nodded." artemis, goddess of the moon would be you, daughter of the spawn of death would be Sally, even if she's adopted but who's the titan spawn? "
" I think that would be Zoe. She's the daughter of atlas. " artemis sighed." if it is atlas who we face, I fear for her life. "
" if she falls in battle artemis, I can make her a valkerie, a goddess of battle. " percy tried to comfort her." I won't let you down. "
" come on, let's go tell the girls. " artemis sighed. She really didn't want to save death for brains but he was her uncle and the profficy was issued so she was to go.
