P.O.V Artemis

"Damn it Hera!" I cursed in my head as I watched my family freaking out in the throne room. As soon as Anabeth left Olympus everything had been like crazy over here. Perseus hadn't stop crying from all the pain her betrayal provoked, his tears filled a pond which it was named the 'Bloody Tears'.

All the times I visited I never saw a ray of sunshine at all, everything was covered by step-mother's shadows. But after a while they went away... until my stupid siblings decided to escape Olympus and go into an adventure. When those notices reached us, the Olympians, we all took extra precaution so it wouldn't happen again. Dad and step-mother never left Hazel out of their sight, Hermes dragged Calypso to his room and turned his palace impossible to break-in or break-out, even my brother Apollo brought his mortal lover over here and chained her to his bed! "All because that bitch! She couldn't let us have peace... I truly hate her!".

-Enough!- I shouted making the room go mute. I glared fiercely at everyone, showing my anger and disappointment- We are in middle of a war against the giants, and all you are doing is freaking out! If you aren't here to make plans for attacking then I'll just leav...

-Father!- a feminine voice full of distressed and the slamming of the doors cut me off. Standing at the entrance of the throne room, with a tear stained face, was Macaria princess of the Underworld- Father...- she sobbed heartbroken. In less than a second she had Uncle Hades, Aunt Demeter and step-mother hugging her- Thantos had been captured by the giants!

-What?!- we all exclaimed worriedly, if the Death God wasn't in the Underworld to help Lord Hades then there will be a lot of problems in the living world.

-We were having a date when suddenly he told me to hide- she began explaining to us- Then out of the blue three giants appeared and attacked him, Thantos could knock out two of them but the third one was able to take him by surprise... I watched as they took his immobile body.

-Sister...- murmured sadly step-mother- We will find him... I'll send a quest to Connor and Travis- he told her- They with their couples will be able to rescue him.

-Thank you Nico- she smiled brightly at step-mother, her eyes shining with how grateful she was.

-Zeus I'll come back in an hour- my dad wanted to protest at what his husband had said but I beat him on it.

-I'll do it- everyone looked at me strangely- They don't live far from where I left my huntresses- I told them- Also, you are needed more over here step-mother.

-Take good care of yourself- Nicolo told me with a small smile. It wasn't a big one and full of happiness like the rest of my siblings, after all both of us were still trying to work on our relationship.

-I will- I told her and then transported myself to Boston, but before that my brother gave me a piece of paper telling me that it was this mission's prophecy.

On my way to the Stoll's house I tried to brush up everything I knew about this demigods. "I know that Travis Stoll and Connor Stoll are twins sons of Hermes, they are thirty-two years old, they are step-mother's best friends and they work with their father in the courier job. Mitchell Stoll is the husband of the youngest brother, he is a son of Aphrodite, has thirty-three years old and after a few years as a model he is now the owner of a flower shop. Kate Stoll decided to marry Travis Stoll, she is a daughter of Aunt Demeter and has thirty-three years, she owns the same flower shop that Mitchell. Poor girl... after a mission were she was stabbed in the uterus she lost the ability to get pregnant".

-Lady Artemis?!- a woman exclaimed surprised. Looking up I noticed that I had already reached my destination- May I know what are you doing here my Lady?- Kate asked me nervously- Did something happen to Nico?!

-Did someone mention Nico?!- the twins asked at the same time as they exited their house, with the son of Aphrodite behind them.

-Step... Queen Nicolo is fine- I calmed them down- But Thantos, God of Death, had been captured by giants and we want you to save him. Are you going to accept this quest?

-I will- the twins were the first ones to answer. They did it fast without waiting a blink, sometimes it amuses me how much they are loyal to my step-mother.

-I'll follow my Connor wherever he goes- told me Mitchell.

-Thing shad been getting a bit boring anyway- commented Kate as if it was nothing new... well it isn't for demigods.

-Before I go I'll tell you the prophecy for the quest- as soon as I said those words they were paying all their attention to me- To the north, beyond the Gods, lies the legion's crown- I stopped reading there and put on a fake smile. When they thanked me and returned to their house so they could get ready, I grabbed Mitchell's wrist and whispered in his ear- Falling from ice, the son Aphrodite shall drown, and a new alliance will form-his eyes widened in fear- If you want not to continue then it is your moment to decide.

-I know you hate my mother and men- he told me softly- And surely you must loath me, but don't guess that you know everything of me my Lady. I will not back off from a challenge because I might die, I am not a scared little boy that only thinks about beauty. Connor risks his life in all his quests to make a difference in this world, and now it is my moment to do something good- with that said he entered his house leaving me behind and confused.

-He is right my gorgeous moon- someone murmured in my ear.

"That nick name... that voice... this feeling... this warmth"- Orion...- I whispered breathlessly, not feeling this happy in a long time.
