The exiles return chapter 3: found
ERAGON POV
Nasuada and myself along with the other generals of the varden were discussing where to attack next when there was a bright flash of light and thunder in the distance revealing a man that looked to be about 7' tall in a dark blue robe an had electric blue eyes and holding a lightning bolt that quickly changed to a sword and was sheathed at his waist the guards burst in and shot arrows at him but they never hit him the hit out of the air with lightning from his hand and then the guards fell over unconscious. "Who are you?" Nasuada asked in curiosity.
"My name is Zeus, I am the king of the gods and I am also here to offer you my help in this petty war of yours if your willing to lend us aid in our own when it comes to pass."
"Ummm no offense or anything but what can one of your warriors do that one of ours can't, and on top of that we are recruiting hundreds of soilders per fortnight." Trianna causing a sigh that hinted that he had known that it would be coming.
"You are going to have to wait and see what my warriors can do just like everyone else now arent you." he said with a knowing smile. Now will you accept my aid I tell you now you will not regret it the one I plan on sending has led a successful defense of my home from entities more powerful than any you have met before that you can be sure. And be sure to treat him with respect his name is Perseus Jackson and he is not to be trifled with and he is very protective of his companion I suggest you treat her especially with the proper respect and men should just steer clear of her completely for she tends to have a hobby of turning men into jackalope a and then hunting and killing them so. Anyways your answer?" he went on to say pulling everyone out of their thoughts.
"We would gladly accept your offer and I believe that what you ask in return is reasonable you would however have to provide or organize transportation for my retold to your land for we know not its location."
"Easy it's already in place now when you test him you will know that it is my warrior. And with that I take my leave he said beige vanishing in a flash of lightning and a roll of thunder.
"Awfully dramatic isn't he?" Trianna said still angry for not having her question answered properly.
Zeus POV
I teleported back to mount Olympus an called Hermes in to the throne room.
"Yes father?" Hermes said entering the room.
"In three days time I want you to bring me Perseus Jackson I have a task for him to complete that will hopefully ensure a victory in the third war that will surely happen soon." I tell him quickly.
"Of course father as you wish. Anything else you require of me?"
"No that is all you are dismissed." he nodded in understanding and left me to my thoughts.
Artemis POV
Thalia entered my tent to deliver her report wrenching me from my thoughts of him.
"Yes Thalia what did you find?" I inquired curious as to why he looked both happy yet at the same time glum and the other hunters were both anxious and excited the way that they were before the final battle in the second giant war.
"We found him milady. And he's not alone there's something else there much more powerful than anything else I have ever encountered. More powerful than when I was on the battlefield with the entire Olympian council and the giants and Gaea the power also feels more aincient than any of them then there's your brother and his children there as well. And then theres the other children of Poseidon that I am sure are being trained by Percy to fight and control water plus there is a large lake less than a mile from the campsite if Percy uses his power to move a large amount of water to the camp and his siblings then use that water it's going to be a difficult battle and that's if percy doesn't take charge in the fight and that's something Percy won't do he will fight to protect them and with his ability in battle and the Achilles curse then we are going to be in trouble because arrows will be useless giants him its going to come down to close-combat and he outmatches me and I am the best of the hunters with close combat raided yourself milady and he has beaten both are and even Athena in battle years ago I don't know if we can take him down without your help milady and I apollo takes part then it's going to be bad." Thalia reported with quick confidence that her findings were completely accurate.
"Very well then we shall attack in two days begin the preparations Thalia."
"Right away milady." she replied bowing before leaving to follow her orders.
Two days later
We were nearing the campsite when there was a horn sounding from within the campsite.
"Well there goes the element of surprise." I murmured to my self and the hunters nodded nervously for when we entered the camp boundaries Percy Jackson was standing in front of us with shield and sword at the ready.
"Hello hunters, Artemis. I've been expecting you."
"Shit." Thalia said said and unfortunately I had to agree that we were indeed in deep shit.
Percy POV 10 minutes earlier
"Apollo they're coming" I said in alarm.
"I know I've been preparing to get everyone out but they move faster than I thought we only have a few minutes and I needed at least another hour to finish packing up camp." he said in a worried voice.
"Get everyone out of here I'll deal with packing up camp and I've even got a plan to deal with the hunters this time round but I won't work twice so we have to work quickly." I said wiring the intruders horn to go off as soon as the got with in 100 feet of the camp. As Apollo got everyone to the mess hall he explained everything and teleported them to Canada to the backup camp and i used my chaos power to pack up camp and send it to the camp an managed to get rid of all signs that anyone had been here when the silent alarm that signaled that the hunters were just out of a gods eyesight so I put up a gigantic black wall of energy that could only be dissipated by myself and had only one entrance to funnel the hunters to me and I unsheathed my sword and activated my shield wristwatch and stood at the entrance to await the hunters appearance. Thankfully I didn't have to wait long and as the hunters appeared Thalia ad Artemis leading them I said "Hello hunters, Artemis. I've been expecting you." in answer Thalia said
"Shit." and the other hunters nodded including Artemis and I smiled at them before saying
"How can I help you girls anything in particular or is this just a social visit." I was clearly starting to irritate them and to be honest it wa kinda fun there was a flicker of movement and six arrows shot from Artemis an Thalia's bows came sailing towards me and I stopped all but one from hitting me but the last one hit me and sank deep into my shoulder and lodging itself there I looked down and laughed lightly be fore tearing it out and throwing. It to the ground. I healed my wound quickly and summoned several hundred pounds of water from the lake an made it surround us sealing the hunters in the camp and then a thin layer of water was allowed to flow under the wall and cover our feet giving me new strength and te hunters suddenly looked slightly scared.
"Well might as well get this over with quickly don't want to prolong this any more than necessary right?" I said with another one of my famous crooked grins before thickening the air and increasing the air pressure around them to force them into a bowing position earning a few confused how's from Thalia and the other hunters when understanding lit up Artemis' face and she suddenly paled and looked absolutely terrified and that was enough for the rest to understand everything .
"Ah I see you finally understand that there was never anyone else that was more ancient than the gods at this camp the being that had all the power that Thalia sensed when she scouted the camp was me the entire time and that this mission was doomed to be a failure from the beginning and none even realized it not even Zeus now I'm afraid I'm going to have to send you to Olympus empty handed now please don't attack when I release you I don't want any of you to be hurt you are all my friends and it would hurt all o u if someone were to be injured due to a slip in judgement so the hunters will go first and then I will send you Artemis." with a snap of my fingers the hunters were gone and Artemis was standing tensed ready for anything. But I was counting down in my head knowing that in less than five seconds she would charge into me and try to take me hostage then the sun rose completely and she charged and tackled me to the ground as I laughed hysterically making her even angrier and then I sent her to Olympus as well an got up dusting my self off before I was grabbed from behind and teleported to Olympus myself and I turned around mock glaring at Hermes and he flinched a little but gave me a small apologetic smile so I rolled my eyes and turned to face Zeus.
