So! I have decided to answer some of your guys' questions. I'll be doing this in every chapter I think, but anyways, on to the question answering!
ftdm15: I will indeed do that after this chapter.
Nine-Tailed Shinigami Brony: Like I told ftdm15, yeah, I'll be doing that. But don't forget, Arethusa IS immortal, almost a goddess, and at least as powerful as one. And in answer to your other question, after she defeated Voldemort, she didn't have a purpose anymore, or a family. Sirius, Ron ,Fred, George, Hermione, Tonks, Neville, Luna, the rest of the Weasley's, and pretty much anyone who'd meant something to her had died. All of the Death Eater's still alive recieved the Dementor's kiss, and were then sent through the veil. Well, all except a select few, such as Narcissa and Dracom who were just sentenced to Azkaban for a number of months, or years, and then placed on housse arrest and/or parole for the remainder of their lives. Arethusa stuck around for a bit, but then she learned of her heritage a a demigod and Mistress of Death. Thinking that she might actually have some form of family out there, in New York, she left to find them. A month later she came into her creature inheritances and found her familiars after being visited by the Moirai (Fates, though I don't think I spelled it correctly). Basicaly she left because she wanted to find a family and because it was too painful for her to remain without any magical family or friends.
Okay, that's it for the questions! Now, please read this chapter!
That night during capture the flag, Percy and Arethusa started to argue over who was the cabin counciler. "Come on!" shouted Percy, "I'm the only one who actually stays in the cabin!"
Arethusa glared and replied with a heated, "Father obviously places me above you - I'm second in line for the throne, you're third in line! Plus, there's the fact that you're a stuck up dick! And I'm older than you, pup!" Percy glared.
"I'm not a dog!" His sister who seemed to hate him shouted, "That's not what I said, I called you a pup - all of you humans and gods and such call them babies! And I'm the councilor, I'm in charge of you, and I'm in charge of this cabin! I am the Alpha!"
Percy scoffed. "Oh, so now you're a dog?" Arethusa growled in a low, threatening sound.
"I am NOT a dog! I am a CHAOS SPIRIT! I am a wolf chaos spirit specifically, and I will not stand for this! You are challenging my status as the Alpha! I will rip your throat out pup if you try to challenge me again! You haven't even seen a tenth of the horrors that I have! You have seen nothing. You have experienced nothing! You have lived a nice, cushy life, I have been the martyr and the hero since I was a year old, and I WILL be in charge! It's in my blood!" Percy shrugged, still glaring.
"Well guess what! I challenge you, all powers allowed and all weapons allowed! The battle will go on until one of is dead!" Arethusa shook her head.
"No. You have a mother and a step father. You have a girl friend and a brother called Tyson. You have friends as well - I will not take you from them. I know all too well what it feels like to have a loved one ripped from you - there are hundreds, thousands of people even, that I could list that have been ripped away from me. So no, I shall not kill you. Instead, when I win, I will banish your powers for seven months. The only exception is if you go on a quest." Percy nodded.
"Fine. But you have no family. I will battle you to the death." Arethusa sneered. "You will not win, and I shall not die. Of this, I am certain." And so their battle began.
Percy made the first move, thrusting his hand out and shoving a smallish wave of water at Arethusa, who reacted by smirking at Percy as the water froze and turned into a small chocolate cookie, which she grabbed and ate slowly, still smirking at Percy, who frowned. She then rose into the air and pointed a finger at Percy. A storm appeared, dark grey, almost black thunderclouds filling the sky. Rain poured down and as thunder rumbled, lightning flashed in the sky. A huge bolt of lightning flashed towards Percy, who slightly dodged, though it still struck his right side. He screamed, and willed the water to heal him, but Arethusa had the storm clear then, and she made all of the water vanish.
Horribly burned and angry, Percy uncapped his pen and limped over to Arethusa. She easily disarmed him, capping the pen and putting it in her pocket. "I'm just toying with you," she said, "I mean, I could kill you with a thought, knock you out with a thought, paralyze you with a thought, I could do all of that and more with a thought. But you know what? I won't do that, because it wouldn't be fair. And you know what? I'm fair. But if we keep on, well, doing whatever this is, you will eventually kill yourself. So what I'm going to do is knock you out with a punch to the face and float you to the infirmary. Then I'm going to take your powers away and help my team win this battle." Percy snarled weakly, raising a hand to hit Arethusa. He collapsed before he coud.
Punching the weakling, Arethusa knocked him out and (as she had said she would) floated him to the infirmary and took his powers away. Then she misted to her cabin and made sure that Areithous was still aseep. Misting to the forest, the game of Capture the Fag began. As soon as it did however, Arethusa was surrounded by a group of Athena's children. She smirked at them. "Do you really think that you can beat me?" They shook their heads, and one of the girls spoke up.
"No. But we can try to hold you off."
"That won't work." Slamming her in the face, she used her other hand to blast a guy with what she meant to be water, but came out as purple chaos mist. Seemingly unfazed, she shot up into the air and hovered there, as all of her powers thrummed under her skin. And then, the Athena children were thrown in all different directions from a huge wave of the same purple chaos mist. Flying through the forest, she dodged trees, arrows, swords, and more. Skimming over the river, she dodged the enemy side, heading for the flag. Standing before it, she drew her sword as Ares himself stood in front of her. "Hello," she said. He grinned.
"Hey. I decided that I wanted a good fight. You're a worthy candidate." And then, they flew into action. Ducking a powerful swing that would have chopped her head clean off, Arethusa stabbed at the god, her blade covered in the same purple chaos mist. Ares stepped back from it, and as she parried his sword, he asked her, "How the fuck do you wield Eris' Mist of Chaos." She shrugged, clipping the side of his foot lightly.
"Dunno, she could be my mum. I still don't know who it is." Ares frowned.
"Who who is?" Arehusa rolled her eyes.
"My mum you dumb twat."
"Hey! I'm not a dumb twat."
"Of course not," his opponent replied, smiling indulgently as she swung her sword into Ares' side and kicked his left knee. His ichor dripped down, and Arethusa smiled at him, unknowingly rising up into the air and upon a cloud of what she now knew was Eris' Mist of Chaos. Looking down as she rose a good foot and a half in the air, she swore as she realized that she was indead floating upon a cloud of purple mist, glowing with it as well. Swinging her sword at Ares, a purple lightning bolt of the chaos mist flew towards it, causing him to yelp, and throw himself to the ground in order to avoid it. And then, he just stared at her, or rather, above her. Slowly looking up, Arethusa's jaw dropped when she saw . . .
Sorry it took me so long to update, but I sort of went on vacation? Yeah, I know it's not really an excuse because I had wifi, it's just, I update on my iPad, and that was broken until we got it fixed a couple of days ago. And the chapter was pretty much completely written too! So yeah, again, sorry. Anyways, this is now updated, yay! I'm going to go write chapters for all my other stories, and after that, upload a new story that had the first one completely written. So . . . Bye!
