Hey guys I might not upload this chapter when I make it (date right now is 10/1/11 in U.S. Northwest) but bear with me here. (Update, March. Don't. Kill. Me. Please.)

So, I got like 5 reviews last chapter and over 1k hits… so what? I don't want to be a review whore, but I'd like to put some reader ideas in here as well (that conform to the current story of course)! Show me some love here!

Also, this story will have an actual plot line, not just the Pertamis.

Right so here we go with the story. BTW's… there might not be any Percy POV this chappie, maybe….


Artemis POV

I was sitting on the spot where Percy was swallowed into the ground. I was shocked, and I nothing around me registered. The ground around was blurring out, as if it was losing focus. Once the ground became indiscernible, it transformed into a Greek amphitheater. My mind was whirring with questions.

What in Zeus's name just happened? This is Hephaestus's training arena, on Olympus for crying out loud! How the Hades could something like this happen. I'm fairly certain that this is kidnapping. But how? There is now possible way for that to happen. I must request for further investigation upon this matter. This must not be looked upon lightly.

I slowly got up from my place in the amphitheater and walked towards the exit. I was met to the regular but still captivating beauty of Olympus. I was hobbling in astonishment at first which evolved into a steady sprint. I know I could have just teleported, but I didn't. As I approached the Throne room, the lights became brighter.

I entered through to the glowing room full of thrones to the gods. My father was sitting in his chair playing with his lighting, making it bounce around in a glass tube. Poseidon was sitting in his throne talking to Aphrodite.

"-good, good, now make sure that he finds the perfect woman in 2 years' time and-"he looked up from his conversation to see me standing there. "Well Artemis, what brings you here on this sunny day? Don't you look, well, trashed?" He said with an amused face.

"Don't start with me Poseidon! You won't be laughing once you've heard how I'd gotten in this state." I thundered impatiently. He was definitely not going to be snickering at what I was about to tell him.

"Father?" Zeus looked up at me questioningly. "Yes my dear daughter? I sense you have something important to share."

"Yes it is rather important you could say. Poseidon will definitely want to listen in to this…" So I recounted my story to the two brothers and Poseidon's expression grew increasingly grim. I didn't notice we had acquired an audience until Apollo spoke out.

"While fighting a beast, Wing goes missing he was killed, By the Danger Room." He said mysteriously. We all looked at him strangely at the sudden blurt out.

"What do you mean Apollo?" I questioned him.

"Did I say something? Was it brilliant, as I obviously am?"

"No brother, it was actually kind of creepy if you ask me." I stated bluntly. "That's beside the point. We must make a plan to rescue Percy. We must think about what or who did this to Percy."

"What Artemis says in true," Poseidon boomed, "we must find out who we are dealing with. You said that he was being pulling him into the ground. And you said that getting into a vertical position wouldn't help, which definitely cancels out quicksand. Anyone have ideas?"

"Well… I have one but… no, it wouldn't be right, she's-" I trailed off.

"Please Artemis, just tell us what the Hades you think, any idea brings us one step closer to finding him!" Poseidon exclaimed desperately.

He seems more distressed than I anticipate; I guess I don't really understand what losing your favorite son is like. It won't help him if I keep my idea from him just because I can't believe it.

"Well, I believe it might be Gaea, the—the queen of the Earth itself." I stammer out.

Poseidon's eyes widen with understanding.

"But of course, how could I not see this. By your description, it has to be her. But if she is awake enough to be able to control the Earth again, that must mean she has a supporter, most likely her husband Ouranos is recovering from Kronos' scythe. Percy and Luke together I believe have banished Kronos from a body for at least another ten millennia. That means since Kronos will be gone for that long of a time, Ouranos is already picking up power, snowballing if you will. His power rises exponentially, and he is rising even faster than I might have anticipated. And then-"

"Then Ouranos will be an added, even a bigger threat than Gaea," interjects Zeus.

"We would need all the gods to defeat even one lone Primordial being. We can't use humans; they would be obliterated in an instant by the very existence of a full Primordial, so we must defeat them before they rise fully. And we must find Perseus, for the sake of all sentient beings on Earth, we must find him. And we must utilize the powers of the minor gods like Morpheus or Nemesis." He said.

I take a moment to process all of this in my head. Once again, this is no small matter to deal with on the daily hunt. Not just one more monster to take care of and move on. This battle could change the history of our way of life. I realize we must find Percy.

And I realize, much to my surprise, that I want to find Percy.


So? What do you think eh? Good? Bad? Tell me in the reviews. I AM LOOKING FOR READER IDEAS. I want to write want you want too! I will make SURE to post within the next month. I PROMISE I WILL NOT BREAK THIS PROMISE. I PROMISE :P. I know it's short, but next will be at least 2000 words, as this one was about 1000.

Bye guys!
