Thalia P.O.V.
Thalia was hunting with Artemis and the hunters, like usual. But unlike all other days, something felt different. Artemis was acting not like herself. She glanced around once in a while, as if she thought that there was going to happen something. Thalia figured she must have a good reason and just left her alone. Suddenly Artemis made all of them stop and make camp, even though it was still early morning. She asked Thalia to come to her tent. Thalia hoped that she would tell what was on her mind, but the only thing she said was: ' Thalia, I have to go on a mission for my brother, could you please take care of the hunt while I'm gone?' Thalia answered: ' Sure, Lady Artemis, but may I ask what this mission is?' Hopefully she would get the answer to the question that bothered her all day. Unfortunally, that was not the case. Artemis just told her not to worry and quickly left. Getting worried, Thalia decided to follow her. Yes, I know it's not easy to follow the goddess of the hunt, but she was going to try anyway. Slowly walking in the shadows behind her, carefully to don't make a sound, she walked after her mistress.
When they came by a clearing, Thalia froze at the sight before her. There he was, the person who had saved her life many times, who brought her back to life. Percy Jackson. How was that even possible? She always thought he had just disappeared from the earth, or died maybe. She regretted the things that she had done greatly. She still didn't know how she could have thought Percy had been bullying his brother because he was jealous. Percy never wanted the fame he had, and with his fatal flaw, he would never do that. His brother turned out to be a stupid person with a huge ego problem. But there was nothing she could change about what had been done. Only hope he would forgive her. Then she saw Artemis hit him on the head with her bow! Why would she do that? Thalia walked out of the shadow of the tree she had been standing under. 'So it was you, I knew I heard something.' 'Why would you do that to him, he has done nothing wrong!' Thalia exclaimed. 'I'm taking him to camp. You're friends have seen in there faults and wanted to apologize to him. He didn't want to come, so I used a little persuasion.' Artemis took a piece of paper and a pen from her tunic and began to write a note. Before Thalia could read it, Artemis put it down right before the tent. And they waited for their ride to arrive.
After waiting half an hour for Apollo to finally come, they loaded the still unconscious boy into the car and left for camp.
Sylvie P.O.V.
She had agreed with Sam to meet him at 11 o'clock at his tent. She looked forward to it. Sam was a really nice guy and she really liked him. When he had told her about him, she had the urge to laugh at him. But when she saw his face, she knew he was serious. She had always known there was something different about him. I mean, come on, who lives alone in the forest? Even though Sam or Percy had told her she could just leave him if she wanted to, she didn't. Yes, she was frightened, who wouldn't be, she just couldn't leave. How he sat there, with his head down, he looked so fragile she only wanted to comfort him. So she stayed.
When she reached the clearing she looked around if she saw him anywhere. No such luck. She called his name a couple of times, but no answer. So she decided to look if maybe he was still asleep. When she wanted to open the tent, a piece of paper caught her attention. She picked it up and opened it. It read:
'Dear person who reads this, I'm just going to assume Percy told you about his past. I have taken him to take him back to camp. Don't worry, I have left a drachma for you to call the grey sisters if you want a ride there.
Signed, Artemis
She looked at the place where the paper had been and saw, indeed, a drachma lying there. Sighing, she took it and summoned the grey sisters. She had heard about the ride they had given Sam, and didn't look forward to experience it too. Though, she had no other chance. She told them her destination and off they were.
