But most of you don't care about that

So too the story

Artemis POV

It was only 3 in the Afternoon but it was as pitch black as 3 in the morning, it seemed that with every step I take, the skies get even darker. All around Gods and goddesses are running for cover, all knowing that Nyx was mad, if it weren't for her disinterest in the Olympian Council, she would be an Olympian. This made her a terror to be known by all, this is why I wish I could avoid the next few hours.

Now all have to realize that my power level compared to Nyx is small, I am the moon, about 1/99th of the sky when it nighttime, all the rest is hers, she owns it, she controls it, and she can make the day disappear if she so pleases, like right now. Now I have to defend myself against Nyx, I know that now she's pissed, I will fail miserable, if she wasn't pissed it would be more equal playing fields.

Even with all the fear and terror surrounding us, Annabeth walked like nothing was wrong, in her arms with his head resting on her shoulder was Nyx's son. He had fallen asleep in her arms while clutching a little owl toy that Annabeth had given him from her backpack, the little owl was weirdly blue, it looked like someone might have taken a white plushy owl and dyed it blue.

Ahead of us was a crash; it sound like someone had rammed two cars together, and with no warning Nyx appeared in front of Annabeth. Nyx body wasn't solid, as it seemed to be made of darkness in the shape of a human with Nyx's human looking face visible.

Without giving Nyx a chance to attack, Annabeth informed calmly "Hello Nyx, I was taking a stroll when I heard crying, it had seemed that Artemis thought your son was a god and had purposely made Thalia sick as a part of the prank wars, so I am here now to return your son and too inform you that he had gotten shot in the arm with an arrow"

The sound of Annabeth talking woke up Nyx's son, he lifted his head, before crying "mommy, mommy, I want home, a meanie toke me away and then something hit me in the arm, I was crying and an- and then Anna appeared and she was nice, she got me this owl, and made the pain go away, look at my Owl, HE'S BLUE" he held out his plushy to his mom making her turn solid and smile at him.

Nyx kissed the top of her son's head then told Annabeth "can you take him to Persephone's temple, and thank you my dear, you will be awarded for your action later, for now I have a deer that I need to ram with a car, covered in spikes, with a destination of Tartarus to get to" this isn't going to be pain free for me.

Annabeth nodded before starting to jog for Persephone's temple, once she disappeared from site, I saw Nyx body loose it solidify as she turned to me. Feeling a chill wrap around me, I smiled nervously "So, The Tartarus thing was just a joke, right?" all that I got was a glare that showed me the horrors of Tartarus, trying to defuse the situation "please this was just a big misunderstanding, all my fault still."

Nyx hisses, a forked tail appearing for a second before residing back, finally she managed "Your right about one thing, little goddess, its all your fault" with that I felt a tendril of darkness hit the back of my knees taking the ground away from me. In the splint second I was in the air, Nyx punched me in the face breaking my nose, then kneed me in the abdomen making all my organs cram into my chest cavity, finally she round house kicked me higher into the sky. This was all in at most one second, and many hours to go.

While I fell, I decided that at most, I should try and fight back. Drawing my bow, I fired right at her but her body dissipated making the arrow fly right through, only taking a few tendrils of darkness with it. Growling, I tried launching one of my knives that met a same fate but it made her completely disappear. Her essence inched into the shadows; I could barely see around me, few lights were able to penetrate the darkness. At best it was like I was in candlelight.

Landing on the ground with a slight stumble, muscle memory got me into a crouch as I looked around trying to judge where she was going to appear next. Taking the chances I checked my nose. It was like touching an exposed nerve, it had swelled two times its size making me have to breath through my mouth, I bet it was also a nice gold color from all the blood.

Out of the shadows at my feet, Nyx appeared, she cocked her arm back prepared to knock my lights out but a little voice stopped her "Mommy, can you tuck me in." There stood Nyx's son, he was clutching the little blue owl to his chest, his bright green eyes stared at us curiously. I felt my arm twist as Nyx, most likely so that her son would see the blood that had to be all over my face, spun me around. I realized she was holding me like a cop in the mortal world would hold a human.

I heard her coo, "Don't worry about that, Shadow, because we are just about to go home, looks like Olympus hasn't changed so it isn't safe her, but I do promise that once your home, I'll tuck you in and tell you a bed time story" he squeaked like a mouse in response, I could hear him jumping up and down in excitement at the prospect. Finally Nyx told him "now get back to Persephone temple, you most likely put them in a frenzy with your sudden disappearance".

With that he ran away, giving Nyx a little more time to beat me to the point I would willingly go to the underworld. But as I was spun back around, she just glared at me with so much hate, that it looked like it had been practiced in a mirror, all the way to perfection.

"You, are lucky, but that luck will end, I will get my revenge for hurting my son, don't fly your moon tonight" with that the grip on my arm disappeared just as she did. I fell right to my knees, exhaustion started to inch its way into my body. I couldn't fly my moon tonight even if I wanted to.

The sun came back but it wasn't gone as it was at the end of sunset, making it look like a peaceful day, like not just seconds ago it was darker then any night. A bird land on a pedestal just feet from me, it was an owl with a too intelligent gray eyed glance, it also seemed to be laughing at me, shaking it feathers ever so slightly.

I snapped "Athena, get out of that form" she will not laugh at me.

She transformed into a human form, I expected her to have a light smile, almost joking. What I got was anything but, it was sadistic, evil, and seemed like she would rather growl at me then smile at me. It made her gray eyes black with how much hate she held, no almost black, they were black. Slowly like that of a bird of prey walking to a defenseless mouse, she stopped forward, tell she was inches away. I felt like I was turning to stone, and now I understand the inspiration behind Medusa.

Almost insane, she chuckled "funny seeing you hurt, bleeding, paying for what you did, staying neutral" that's why, Perseus's vote. Zeus had threaten to remove the hunters in the bloodiest way possible, so I stayed neutral making my vote not count, if I hadn't Percy might have lived. Those who voted yes were Hera, Zeus, Demeter, Ares, and Dionysus.

Only Hades, Hephaestus and I stayed neutral in the vote, everyone else voted. If I had voted, I would have been the swing vote. Now since it ended with a tie, in one of our rules, if it ends in a tie the king can make an ultimate decision, that's why we have a king.

Like a viper, she struck out pushed her thumb into my nose, making all the exposed nerves ignite in pain, she always dug a thumb in my stomach that was a whole bruise. I squeaked "why?"

Athena growled "You let a empty threat sway you, and Percy died, and now Annabeth is only a ghost, you and everyone who voted yes or neutral will pay" she drew hands back letting me clutch my stomach. Classic Athena, she must have been waiting tell I was weak to strike, not wanting to cause any commotion that might alert the others. Letting Nyx get her hands dirty before she came into strike.

I didn't make a wise decision. WAIT!

"You influenced me to kidnap Nyx's son, DIDN'T YOU" it makes sense, why I did something so stupid, didn't really think before I acted, Athena was just hiding in the corner pulling at the strings, planning this all out. She predicted Nyx reaction, and there is a good bet that Nyx's son didn't get Thalia sick but Athena.

Athena laughed like a madman "Took you long enough, of course I did, I just let your hate blind you" she started to walk away, clearly not done, but she must know the others are about to appear.

I lunged like a wild bull but she turned into an owl before I could catch her. Watching her fly away, I knew if I fired at her with my arrows, she would make me out as the monster leaving herself scotch free. All that was left is too watch her escape, most likely laughing her way all to the Throne room.

Apollo appeared to my right; he took a quick glance at my injuries, before just shaking his head.

I snipped "why are you just standing there, help me?" like I had just suggested that he should become mortal, Apollo got a disgusted face. His usual cheerful demeanor was overshadowed by the hate in his eyes. It was like I staring at Athena again, they both hated me for not saying anything.

The others began to appear, while Apollo disappeared.

I was not going to get any worthwhile help, so I just flash away leaving the others that appeared baffled but it wasn't unlike me so they would expect anything different. It's just that, everyone hates me right now for not standing up for what I believe in one both sides. The no's for not standing up for what I believe in, which is that true heroes and heroine should be rewarded not hurt, and fake heroes should be punished. The yes's for not standing up and speaking my mind like I always believe that I should. Either way I chose the wrong side.

I appeared outside of Persephone in one of her many gardens; I was able to see into Nyx's son room to see her tucking in and checking his injuries. Even though Athena influences me to do it, it was still my fault that, that little boy will now fear everyone. I might have just created a women-hater.

3rd Person

At the edge of the underworld, where beyond it was just a wasteland, wasteland that frightened anyone for the unknown that surrounds it, it had a aura about that, that chases all gods and monsters away.

Yet a figure stood on its desolate, the hard rock slowly eroding below its feet, twisting around it, hands reaching out as if to hug the figure. Yet the figure whipped out a hand, dark claws slowly broke through the fingertips and shattered the nail tell they were as sharper then physically possible. With that she slashed the rock, scattering it.

The figure spoke to the emptiness it seemed "He will be ours, we can sense when he sleeps, we can sense when he is hurt, he will become like us, come to us Percy" it sound like a confident female.

Like another person was inside one body, she spoke again as she hunched over "but how did Nyx not know that only the dead and Hades children should stay in the underworld"

Standing confident again, she spoke "because we never told her"

"Why this boy" the scared one asked

"Because he will spread our name" the confident one stared up at the underworlds roof.

"Its brilliant master" The scared one nervously scratched at her wrists

"Or course, everyone will know the Name of The true Underworld" the Confident one stood up straight, hold her arms as if to embrace all of the desolate land. She turned to face towards the Hades-dominated underworld. Staring at the structures with hatred, she started to sneer reveal sharp diamond shaped teeth.

Suddenly bending to the side, the scared one responded, "Yes yes"

She stood straight again "Gaea, she'll pay for ignoring us, Khaos he'll pay, Hydros, Thesis, Phusis will pay, they all pay for ignoring us, but most of Chaos he will pay for never giving us beauty, for hating us, for ignoring us" with that she just began to scream and wouldn't stop.
