The exiles return chapter 9
Percy's brother and the descendant of Hermes, the wars end.
Sly POV
I had just finished my later heist in new York city and was relaxing relishing the fact that soon I could go back to my wife of 15 years, Carmelita Fox and our two children, Henry and autocylus cooper. We had named him after my great grandfather who had been a son of the legendary thieving god hermes. As I was on the boat a massive wave wrapped around me ad I was teleported to Olympus. I bowed to Zeus before kneeling at my fathers feet, the mighty Poseidon.
"Rise mr. Cooper," Zeus said rather worriedly which confused me, what could he be worried about I say to myself before paying attention to what he was saying.
"I need your assistance in a very important matter. Triton and Hyperion have kidnapped your brother and my daughter with the help of an evil king after they had gone to assist the kings world in a revolution to replace the old man. I need you to free them and then assist them in the war by leading raiding parties and stealing provisions, etc." Zeus said enforce I nodded in acceptance and he sent me to Melion where my brother Percy and his girlfriend artemis were imprisoned with their friends. When my vision cleared I noticed I was in a the cell block. I ran through the dungeon looking for artemis and the others when I heard a scream from the main plaza. I rushed over to a window and saw percy being tortured and I knew we needed to save him soon. I heard some talking from a few feet to my right so I peaked around the corner and saw two guards talking to each other I was about to sneak past when I heard them mention someone that sounded a lot like Artemis.
"Hey Jim have you seen the new prisoner?" the first asked.
"Ya she's a hottie I can't wai to get her in my shift when I get to torture her it's gonna be so sweet her body's gonna writhe beneath my touch."he said in glee. I quickly ran and knocked one out before disarming the other and forcing him to give me the location of her cell after I had the information I knocked him out and ran to her cell. Once I reached the cell I picked the lock and opened the door in less than 3 seconds and freed her before dealing with the others in shackles. Then I told them where Percy was and we went to save him.
Percy POV
After a few days they too reached their limits and I quickly began regaining massive amounts of power again. Two days later I was nearly at my full power again when they came to torture me again. They brought forth a whip and began lashing my back repeatedly. After several more hours of various public tortures they left an I used a small amount of power to repair my wounds. It was then that a miracle appeared, in the shape of my girlfriend, Artemis. Her and the hunt came charging in now firing at the speed of a machine gun and driving the enemy back long enough for my power to reach its peak. Then I began to rise, I quickly shattered my shackles with a thought before teleporting my self and the others back to the varden camp along the Jeit river. Once we arrived I was tackled into the ground by all my friends who all got off me so Artemis could "kill" me. Artemis slowly walked up to me before pulling me into a bone crushing hug and sobbing into my chest. I enveloped her in my arms murmuring soothing words to her, consoling her quietly. In this time all of my injuries had completely healed and she pulled away to look me in the face before slapping and pulling me into a deep kiss. I happily acquiesced and deepened the kiss. We sat there like that for a while before pulling back for air. We stood up and I turned to my half brother sly.
"Thank you sly, I owe you one." I said giving him a small smile.
"It's no big deal, now let's go get something to eat, I'm starved." as he said it his stomach growled and we all laughed before heading to the dining tent for some food.
Two months later. The siege of Bellatonna.
I sat upon shruikan as we looked down upon the city. I saw eragon and sly in trouble with murtagh and several soldiers so we went to help. As soon as I landed the soldiers ran in fear.
"I'll deal with him eragon, sly go assist in dealing with the rest of th city." I said. They both nodded and ran off as murtagh and myself circled each other looking for weaknesses. Then he struck suddenly and I dodged his strike and kicked him in the chest knocking him down. He got up quickly before thrusting his blade at my stomach. I sidestepped and grabbed his wrist twisting it so he dropped his blade and I kicked his feet out from under him. I teleported him and thorn back to urubean before continuing to fight my way through the streets to the keep once I got there I quickly dispatched the guards and freed the head of the city of her oath to Galbatorix and the battle had finally ended.
One week later. The final battle.
Everyone was incapable of fighting Galbatorix but myself at this point so I broke the spell he had put on me with incredible ease.
"And they said you were powerful, how misguided they were your nothing but a weak old man that needs to be put out of his misery." I said angering him. He charged me with his sword drawn. He slashed down at me and I parried with a lazy flick of my wrist. Before he could even blink I slashed up severing his head and ending the war. The dark king had been cut down by my blade and his evil will never touch this world again. I looked around for Triton and Hyperion but they were nowhere to be found. Must of ran while I fought him, I thought to myself. I healed the others and teleported Masada and the others to the varden army.
"Galbatorix has fallen, executed by none other than the warrior of the gods, Percy Jackson poseidonson." Nasuada yelled to our allies.
"The new king or queen of Alagaësia must now be selected." she continued before reading off a list of three names; king Orrin, herself, and eragon. Eragon however declined being in the election and after several moths Nasuada had been selected as galbatorixs successor. After a celebration and inauguration she took control of the land and began to set thing right again while eragon went to find a place for the riders to start anew. Sly had returned to his world and the hunters and other demigods went back to camp. Artemis and I were sitting in our room wondering what to do about the gods and our relationship. I put my hand in h pocket to finger a ring I had Hepheastus make for me weeks ago. I stood up and kneeled next to her.
"Artemis, ever since you and I began dating I've been happier than I have ever been in my life, I never want it to end. So in order to ensure that I have one small, incredibly important question to ask you." I said nervously.
"Artemis will you marry me?"
"Percy I..."
(I was gonna stop here but the rest hasn't exactly been very thorough do I decided to keep going)
"Yes of course I will Percy!" she shouted and wrapped me in a hug surpassing even Tyson's. After we separated I put the ring on her finger and we teleported back to our world. Once we arrive in Olympus I noticed that Apollo was back on the council I smiled at him and Bowes in front of Zeus.
"What is he doing here Zeus?" Hera screeched.
"He is returning to the world of the gods. I am vetoing the councils decision and making him an Olympian god. Now Percy have you decided on a wife?" he asked with a knowing smile.
"I have my lord. I wish to, with your permission of course, to wed your daughter, Artemis." I said with certainty and no hesitation in my voice.
"I will allow this on two conditions." he replied.
"Name them." I said without hesitation.
"Did you get our allies?" he asked
"Yes my lord the dark king has been destroyed and the one our deal was made with is now queen, their help is now all but guaranteed they are massing their troops as we speak although it is going slowly, they will not be ready for several years I'm afraid." I answered.
"Excellent then you have completed one condition. The other is not nearly as difficult. I merely ask that you call me dad once you two are married." he said with a smirk.
"Done." I said without a moments pause to think.
"Then I Zeus king of the gods and father of artemis hereby give you my permission to marry her. May you both have a long happy life together. "
"thank you... Dad. I said before being blasted with energy to be made an Olympian and given a throne next to Artemis. We sat there in complete happiness until Zeus called for my attention.
"Percy, my boy, I would like you to take over for Dionysus as the camp director if you would like to. You would still be allowed to visit Artemis as often as you like if the campers training gets remarkably better than it is now and can stay at a stable level. Do you accept?" he asked with a hint of hopefulness in his voice.
I looked to Artemis for her opinion and she she nodded gently before squeezing my hand to show her acceptance and understanding. I smiled and looked back to Zeus.
"I would be honored lord Zeus, I do love that place and would be more than happy to take over for him." I answered getting an extremely happy reaction from Dionysus as he literally bounced up and down on his throne while zeus simply smiled and joined in on the laughter that had followed Dionysus' outburst.
After the meeting I went aphrodites to discuss wedding plans. After several grueling days of planning and Artemis attacking aphrodite for hitting on me we had finally finished and everything was set. A week later I stood at the altar with Apollo standing next to me as my best man. I took in the sight as I waited for Artemis to walk down the aisle with Zeus. We were waiting at a part of the sea that only my father and myself knew about but we had made it do everyone was dry and could breath comfortably. As I took in the sight of a beautiful bed of coral with teeming wildlife the walking down the aisle song (lol I have no clue what it's called so this is what I'm gonna call it) began playing and I saw Artemis in her golden dress being walked down the aisle. I was absolutely speechless, she was easily more beautiful than anything I had ever seen. As I looked at her I smiled and the world seemed to slow down. I took her hand from Zeus and helped her to the altar before we began the ceremony.
After vows and what not Percy POV
"Do you Perseus Jackson son of poseidon and chaos take Artemis to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in Health, until fading do you part?" Hera asked me I looked into Artemis' eyes and said with great certainty and not a hint of doubt
"I do."
"And do you Artemis daughter of Zeus and Leto take Perseus as your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in Health, until fading do you part?" Hera asked Artemis.
"I do." Artemis said with just as much resolve as I did.
"Then with the power vested in me as the goddess of marriage I pronounce you husband and wife, Perseus you may kiss the bride." Hera said an I happily obeyed.
*one year later*
I walked in to my palace to see my Seven year old son and daughter run up o me and hug my legs. I smiled and kneeled down to wrap them in a hug before looking up to see my beautiful wife smiling at us. I stood up and gave her a kiss earning a groan from our kids. We just chuckled and went to put them in bed for the night.
"How was the hunt?" I asked her.
"It was great Thalia managed to take the final shot at python and kill him while your son and daughter took down an entire legion of monsters by themselves. They are quite the swordsman. She said happily as we laid in bed. "What about you how was your day?"
"Terrible," I sighed.
"Father is making me leave again, I can't get him to let me take any one with me this time though. I don't want to leave you three." he said before hermes flashed into our hallway before knocking on the door.
"Yes," I called out.
"I did it Percy he's letting you take 4 companions all of who must be gods." he said with a wide smile.
"thank you do much Hermes I owe ya one." I told him before he flashed out.
Earlier today Percy POV
"Please you have to help us." a small group of gods I had never seen before said running in to the throne room terrified.
"who are you?" Zeus asked them.
Sequel anyone?
