Percy POV
When I woke up there was a bush of curly dark hair in my face and the figures head was my chest, my arms around her waist. I tried to remember what happen last night but I just remember Saphira was lying between me and Artemis -wait where was Saphira and if she isn't here that mean this must be Artemis. My heart were doing jumping jacks and I was smiling like a fool. I got up, slowly I don't want to wake up the goddess, and put on a blue shirt and cargo shorts. Once I walked outside I tripped over a rope and landed in mud that smelled alot like... of course it's crap. I groan and got up and started to walk toward the river to get clean up. I was half way there when all of sudden I was upside down with a rope on my ankle making me hang like a wild animal. Then 16 girls came from behind a tree, in a bush, and on top of trees laughing their little hunters butt.
"Ha ha. Now let me down" I said
"Why should we, boy" A hunter snapp
"Because I neeed to clean my face" I said feeling blood going to my face
"Umm..." Thaila said, coming up to me and pretend to be thinking "Naaa... Come on girls it's almost breakfast" Thaila gave me a 'sweet' smile and left. I sighed and tried to untangle my self but no luck. I sighed again.
Remember Perseus, you can use fire" Someone, I think Hestia, said in my head
I summon fire like I summon water to burn the ropes, I was about to hit the ground whenI though to open my wings, which open to keep me from cracking my head open. I close my wings and held on to the trunk of the tree to keep me balance while everything was spinning. After I was good and balance I walked to lake to clean my face. Then walk back to have some breakfast. I found Saphira looking all over the camp site like she lost something. I walked over to her.
"Looking for something?" I ask giving her a morning hug
"Yeah, I can't find my teddy bear" Saphira said
" Let me help you" I picked her up and looked around camp while the hunters were eyeing me. We went in my tent to see Artemis wasn't there but dad was with Saphiras bear
"Teddy!" Saphira jumped out of my arms and tried to grab the bear but dad wouldn't let her so she started to pouted
"Come on, dad. Give her her bear back" I said with a frrown
"Don't worry, son, I will but I have a gift for this little girl" Saphira had a huge smile on her face which made me smile big. Dad pulled out a collar that had a bow and a trident in the middle and a arrow going through them. He put the collar on the bears neck. Then there was a bright light, when it died down there in his hands was a baby bear that use to be Saphiras teddy bear. "If you keep this collar on he will come to life" Dad said
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh" Saphira scream real loud with happieness and held the bear close to her which responed but hugging her back.
"Well I have to go. Have fun with your new friend. Bye, son, Saphira" Then he flashed out.
"Come on, Saphira. It's breakfast time" I smiled. She put down her bear and said:
"Come on, Snow." And then she walked out with the bear, Snow, and me right behind her.
When we got to the camp fire, everyone was there waiting for us. "Sorry but my dad visit me and gave Saphira gift" Saphira nod with a big smile and sat on my lap with Snow on hers. "So, what's for breakfast?" I ask. Looking at the beautiful goddess.
"Fish" I paled just thinking about eatting fish. Saphira was pale to like she was thinking the same thing I was thinking.
"Ummm... That's it?" I ask
"Yea, have a problem with that?" Artemis smirk
I was going to say something stupid but I then remember I could summon food. I smiled and said "No not at all. Saphira, what would you like to eat?" I ask looking down at her
"Blue walffes, blue walffes" She cheered while Snow gave a happy 'rawr'. I close my eyes and summon 2 plates of blue walffes. At first nothing happen so everyone laugh but stop when they smelled the sweet smell of walffues that appear in my hand. I looked up to see everyone almost drooling so I smiled and close my eyes and summon everyone else the same thing. They looked at me with suprise, I just smiled and ate my breakfast. Thaila then took a hesitating bite and her eyes went wide, I laughed and Saphira giggled at her expression
"Oh my gods..." Thaila gasp out "How... How..." She couldn't finish
I laughed again "Hestia ask me to be her champion and I accept."
When everyone tried them they all gasp and stuff there face like they haven't ate in a long time. After a while Artemis said:
"Perseus, today I'm gonna teach how to teleport and how to use your new powers. Tomorrow I'll be teaching you archry" she smirk
"Why, I'm horrible at archy, I'll never know how to use a bow n arrow, it's way to hard" I whine.
"No it isn't. It's really fun" Saphira said with a big smile
"You good at archry?" Phobe ask
I snorted "Good, as in she can shoot an arrow in the middle or good, as in she can beat the whole Apollo cabin barely trying" Saphira blush. Everyone else looked impress.
"She'll make a great hunter" Thaila said. I got worried I mean I wouldn't mind letting her in the hunt so no boys would hurt her but that mean I won't get to see her any more. Okay not anymore but I won't see her alot. So I gave a weak smile and said:
"Yeah, she will" Artemis seem to know what I'm thinking because she said:
"Saphira still has 7 years untill she's 10 so let her think it through"
I gave her a 'thank you' smile "I-I don't r-really want to join" Saphira stutter out
"Why not? The hunt is so much fun, and stupid boys won't annoy you" A hunter, I think her name is Sara, said giving me a glare.
"I don't want to leave Percy" She put her arms around my neck, I kiss her cheek.
"Come on, Percy. Time for your training." Artemis said with a smile, which I thought looked beautiful on her.
"Okay, Saphira you coming?" I ask letting go of her
"No. I'm gonna play with Snow" She said while petting her new buddy.
"Okay" I picked her up and set her down next to me so I can get up. Artemis and I walked to a clearing and the first thing she saids is:
"Give me 20"
