Chapter 5

Percy woke up at the alarm of his internal clock something he had learned to do while surviving in the pit. After throwing on a shirt and some jeans he went downstairs for breakfast. Percy opened his fridge and took out some blue pancakes and a blueberry lemonade as he reached for a cup. After he heated up the pancakes, he then noticed that the speed of the lemonade which he was pouring into the cup started to slow down until it froze completely in mid air. He looked around the room, it seemed darker than usual and felt like it dropped a few degrees. Percy looked down at his lemonade and moved to put it down only to discover it was frozen in midair. Percy released the blue lemonade as it hung in place with nothing except mystical powers supporting it.

Percy's first thought was that he had accidentally lost hold over Kronos' powers and tried to restart the time around him only for the cup to stay in the air. Percy tried again only to finally feel the force preventing him from reaffirming his hold on time. He tried again only for a voice to sound out. "Stop wasting your energy, Percy," said a young yet ancient feminine voice that seemed to radiate power and authority. Percy turned around and clicked a button on his watch as it unfolded, revealing its majestic bronze face with his adventures inscribed on it (forgot how he opens the shield and how it looked like so sorry if its wrong). He also reached for his legendary weapon contained within his pocket. As he took in the owner of the voice as his breath seemed to stop.

In front of Percy was a woman, she had hair as black as darkness itself, yet seemed to become filled with glints of light as if a sea of stars had appeared in her locks. Her skin had a light tan, her eyes shone like tiny suns and she wore a black shoulder-less dress over herself. She was undeniably more beautiful than even the goddess of beauty herself, although a tiny voice in the back of his head said that Artemis was indeed more beautiful than her. He derailed himself from that train of thought before he could question why it had appeared to concentrate on the woman who had appeared undetected in his warded tent within a camp of the most dangerous hunters in the world.

"Who are you?" he asked taking an defencive stance with his shield up and sword pointed at the threat. "I am Chaos, creator of this universe." said the woman as she walked up to a chair and sat down with her legs crossed. Percy moved with her making sure to keep his weapons between them. "Don't worry, I'm not here to fight." Percy despite knowing not to let his guard down put his weapons away though within easy reach deciding to listen to her offer. "What do you want?" Percy said suspicious of her motives. Chaos smiled, "Join me in this war Percy, when I win this war you may have any reward you wish for." Percy smiled to her before replying "I won't betray my friends for something like a reward, no matter how much I may hate certain Olympians." Chaos smiled "not even if I could reunite you with your beloved Annabeth?" At that Percy's smile was wiped off his face as he looked to the side his eyes clouded. "... No, not even then. Annabeth was not the type of person who would have wanted something like that to happen. Now please leave before I can't control myself." As he said that his fist was clenched and shaking from anger. Chaos noticed this and sighed "Oh Well, if you ever change your mind all you have to do is pray to me and I'll come for you." She stood. "The offer will stand until the last battle of this war, right before I tear Olympus down on their level." She vanished into nothingness. Percy heard the glass of lemonade fall behind him. "Dammit." said Percy as he picked up the shattered glass and controlled the liquid into the sink. Then he exited the tent.

As soon as he walked out he immediately let go of his anger in exchange for when he fell into a ditch filled to the brim with whipped cream. The sticky, white topping getting into areas he didn't even know existed. As he grabbed the side to pull himself up he heard laughter above. He looked up to see Thalia and a group of hunters surrounding him and laughing at him. "Very funny" said Percy as he got out of the ditch and took some water from the river to rinse himself off. When he finished and was about to release it back to the river and idea popped into his head, he grinned. Thalia's expression quickly changed as she realized what he was going to do. "Don't you dare Percy" said Thalia as she started to back up. "What do you mean Thals?" he said as his smile grew wider. "If you do this I swear I'll zap you back to Tartarus." Percy laughed as he released the water with the whipping cream at her and the hunters. Thalia looked pissed as she glared at Percy. Percy laughed as he started to run into the opposite direction with Thalia and the hunters chasing him. "PERSEUS!" screamed Thalia as she chased after him.

Artemis POV

I woke up as I heard shouting from outside the tent. "What is it now?" I thought as I got dressed and exited the tent when all of a sudden I got slammed into. I groaned as I got up and looked at who had just slammed into me. To my surprise it was Percy who was trying to grasp what just happend. "Milady are you alright?" I heard my hunters ask me as I saw them run up to me drenched and covered in whipping cream. "Yeah I'm alright and what the heck happened to you?" I said as I got up from the ground. "Well, Percy here drenched us in water and whipping cream." I looked at wanting to know why he did it. "Hey, they started it first" replied Percy as he got up and brushed of the dirt from his pants. I looked but at my hunters. "Is what he says true?" I asked. "The hunters looked at the ground "yes but it was just a small prank."

"So what did you do?" The hunters looked up with smirks on their faces. "We dug up a ditch in front of his tent and filled it with whipping cream." I laughed at that. "I wish I saw that, however since Percy will be staying with us for a while try to be nice to him." The hunters looked down disappointingly at the ground as they nodded their heads. "But that doesn't mean you can't prank him from time to time." I said as I watched Percy's face pale and felt a smile appear on mine. "Really Artemis, do you really have to do this?" Percy said with pleading eyes. I sweetly smiled at him "of course, I gotta let my hunters have some fun sometimes, don't I?" Percy let out a sight "whatever not like I would convince you anyways." The hunters all smiled as they walked of talking about what they should do for their revenge. "I'll get you good Jackson" shouted Thalia as she walked off.

Percy POV

I turned to Artemis "sorry about running into you earlier I wasn't looking where I was going." Artemis looked at me as she smiled "It's alright. So what are your plans for the day?" she asked me as she started walking to the arena where Thalia and some hunters started to practice on dummies. "Well I don't really have any plans for today." I said as I watched the hunters fight. "Wanna have a duel then?" Artemis asked as she smirked at me. I smiled "I'd love to but I just remembered that I owe Thaila a duel." Artemis smiled "go ahead I'll give you a warm-up." I looked at her as I laughed "whatever you say Arty." She gave me a quick glare "I told you not to call me that." I laughed as I went to the arena.

I walked up to Thalia as she sliced off a dummy's head. "So Thalia are you done with your warm-up because I remember we have a duel on hold." Thalia turned around and smirked "I can beat you without a warm-up Kelp-Head" said Thalia as she got ready on the other side. "We'll see about that" I said as I uncapped Riptide and turned my ring into my other sword Chasm. "First one who gets knocked out or surrenders wins." I said as I got ready. "Fine by me" replied Thalia as she got her spear and shield which would normally paralyze a person but since I fought saw the real thing so many times it didn't even phase me anymore. Thalia charged first. She thrust her spear as I side stepped and made a slash with my Riptide as she blocked it with her shield. I jumped back and took some water from the river and froze it into a couple of spears and shot them at her. She rolled on the ground and summoned and threw a lightning bolt at me. I jumped out of the way and rolled on the ground. Thalia charged at me as she thrust her spear at me in which she infused with electricity. I dodge but did not expect her to hit me with her shield which sent me tumbling to the ground. "Not as good as I expected Percy?" she said in a mocking voice. I smiled "I didn't even start to warm-up" I said as I got up. Thalia smiled "Good, cuz I'm not finished yet." I charged at her as I slashed at her with Riptide before turning and spun as I slashed with Chasm. She ducked and tried to tripped me up from below with her shield. However I expected that and made my lower body turn to water as I felt Thalia stumble as she went through me. I grinned as I turned around and hit her with the flat of my blade in the head before she could turn around. I put my swords away as I looked at the shocked expressions of the hunters that had now gathered around. "Well that was quite a show Percy, but I hope you aren't tired yet" said Artemis as she entered the arena. I smiled at her "don't worry that was just a warm up." Artemis pulled out her daggers. "Good, now since it would be unfair with our powers we will only use weapons." I smiled "fine by me as I drew my swords again."

Artemis charged, she was fast and her attacks were deadly. I blocked as I kicked her in the stomach. She grinned "not bad" she said as she charged again. I slashed at her continuously as she parried all the hits but started to stumble from the force of my hits. Artemis jumped back after dodging two more swings and flipped away, pulling out her bow. I looked at her "hey now thats not fair" I said as she pulled back an arrow. She smiled "now lets see how many arrows you can dodge" I paled a bit as I looked into her eyes which seemed to say "lets see you dance." I charged as she started to shoot with incredible speed and accuracy. I dodged the arrows as she kept on increasing the speed. I felt like I was in the movie Matrix as I dodged and felt arrows flying past my head. "I've got to end this quickly" I thought as I felt an arrow graze my leg. I pushed forward as I sliced a arrow in two ducking under another only to have to roll out of the way and into the safety of the trees. I moved around the same side I had come from knowing she would expect me to go the other side. Artemis quickly readjusted her aim before trying to shoot my feet. I jumped up and rolled as I landed and thrusted my sword at Artemis causing her to dodge and stop shooting. I took that as an advantage and slashed up with my swords as hard as I could. Artemis blocked with her bow but the force of the hit caused the bow to fly out of her hands. She looked at me surprised and took out her daggers. I jumped back as I got ready for a wave of her deadly lightning quick assault. Artemis charged as with insane speed which surprised me giving her a chance to knock out Riptide from my hand. I swung my remaining sword at her as she blocked it with one of her daggers and thrust at me with the other. I side stepped and grabbed her wrist and as I twisted it, causing her to drop the dagger. She kicked me in the chest as I stumbled back. "You're better than I expected Percy?" said Artemis as she charged at me again. I smiled "well three years in Tartarus does pay off I guess" I said as I charged at her. Our blades clashed sending sparks everywhere as we exchange fast and deadly hits. I started applying more force in my hits making back up. I used that to my advantage and tripped her but she grabbed me just in time as I fell to the ground with her.

"Seems like its a tie" I said as we were on the ground with my sword on her neck and her dagger to my heart. "I guess it is" she replied as I got up and helped her up. I looked at the hunters who were gaping at us from the battle they just had seen. I looked back at Artemis who had dirt in her hair and some dirt on her cheek. I took my thumb and wiped it off as I realized what I just did. I blushed red as an idiot as I watched Artemis turn bright red. "U-umm sorry, there was some dirt on your cheek." Artemis looked at the ground trying to hide her face "It's alright." I looked away facing the hunters. The older hunters were all frowning with Thalia trying and failing to hide her laughter while the newer ones looked stunned. "I'm gonna go take a shower" I said as I walked away with my face still red as a tomato.

Artemis POV

I stood in one of the showers within my palace upon Olympus, as I was thinking about what just happend. "Percy had just wiped a piece of dirt of my face but why is my heart beating so fast? What are these feelings that are starting to surface up? I can't be attracted to a man, can I?" I quickly sent the thought into the back into my head as I felt it coming back. "But what if? What if he is the one after all these years? He is unlike all the other man and he is quite good looking." I had to admit that Percy was good looking, he had a well toned body that wasn't to buff and yet showed muscle. I turned off the water as I stepped out of the shower and dried myself. I put on some clothes and went to my sitting room. As I walked in Hermes teleported into my living room. "Is something wrong Hermes?" I asked as I sat down on my couch. "Zeus wants you and your hunters to go to the Camps to help prepare them as well as hunt for a fearsome monster in Greece. There seems to be an increase in Chaos's forces around there. Also tell the camps to start preparing for war." I sighed "Alright tell him I'll leave in an hour." Hermes nooded and teleported away. I groaned as I got up and teleported to the camp.

I appeared in front of Percy's tent and walked in. When I walked in I was surprised at what I saw. The inside of the tent was a two story house. I saw Percy sitting on the couch playing Assassin's Creed IV. He didn't seem to notice me so I decided to sneak up on him and scare him. I snuck behind him and shouted causing Percy fall of the coach. I laughed as he got up. "What was that for?" he said as he got up. "I just felt like it" I said as I felt something rubbing against my leg. I looked down to see the golden kitten I saw in Tartarus. "He seems to have taken a liking to you?" I smiled "what's his name?" I asked as I petted the kitten. "Deception" Percy said as I looked at him with eyes that said "Really, that's what you named him?" Percy smiled "there is more to him than you see at first glance." said Percy as the Deception jumped from my arms and transforming into the Nemean lion. I looked at the Nemean lion stunned. "You have the Nemean lion as a pet?" I asked as I looked at Percy. "Yeah I found him in Tartarus and we became friends you can say." I looked back at the Nemean lion as it turned back into its harmless form. "I see why you named him Deception" I said as I turned back at Percy. "So what did you come here?" said Percy as he sat down and patted a spot on the couch next to him. I sat down "Zeus wanted me and my hunters to go check things out at the Camps, as well as in Greece. So, I was wondering if you would like to come along." Percy looked at the wall and then turned to me. "Sure I'll come, let me get my things, I'll meet you outside. I nodded as I stood up and left.

Percy POV

I looked at the entrance to camp halfblood as memories flashed before my eyes. Thalia and Artemis walked by my side as the hunters trailed after us. "It will be alright" said Artemis as she placed her hand on my shoulder making me relax. I nodded as thanks and passed the boundary line. The camp hasn't changed much from the last time I had being here except a few more cabins had been built. Though something even more noticeable was that there were even more campers than before. Some were dressed in orange Greek shirts or in purple Roman shirts while others were dressed in sky blue t-shirts that had the word Demigod on them. Something obviously made for the union between camps. We walked to the big house as the campers saw us and started whispering among themselves. When we entered the big house Dionysus was playing pac-man while Chiron was reading a book. When he noticed us come in he stood up and bowed. "What a honor to see you Lady Artemis" he said as his gazed turned towards me. I watched him as his face expression changed as he realized who I was. "Percy my boy, how good it is to see, especially alive and well" he said as he hugged me. I smiled as I returned the hug. "It's good to see you again Chiron." Chiron looked at Artemis and back at me. "The gods informed me that you had returned but did not give me the full story." said Chiron as he looked curious. "It's a long story, I'll tell you later" I replied. "So what brings you here?" he asked us. "My father has told me to tell you that you are to start preparing for war against Chaos." Chiron looked shock. "You mean Chaos as in the creator? Why are we going to war with her?" Chiron asked as as his expression changed to one of dread not that it wasn't understandable. "Chaos plans to destroy the world" I said. "This isn't news I expected to hear so soon after the giant war has ended or ever. ...Alright I'll inform the campers to start getting ready." I nodded "Thank you Chiron." He smiled in return "No problem and come visit again soon there are people who have missed you." I smiled "I'll try but it might not be soon" Chiron looked a bit disappointed with my answer. "Well I won't hold you back any longer because I'm sure you have other things to take over." As we said our goodbyes we teleported to camp Jupiter.

We appeared in front of the river. As we crossed it and approached it I saw the forms of Jason and Reyna both obviously awaiting us. Reyna noticed us appear and started to approach us with Jason following her. When Jason saw me I knew he recognized me right away. "Percy!" he shouted as he tackled me into a hug. I laughed "Long time no see bro" Jason let go "how are you here? I thought the gods threw you into Tartarus." I smiled "they did but I got out" Jason looked at me amazed "you gotta tell me the whole story later" I grinned "no problem" I turned to Reyna who was standing there awkwardly not knowing what to do. I smiled as I gave her a hug which surprised her. "It's good to see you again" I said as I let her go. She smiled "it's nice to have you back" Then they turned to Artemis "what exactly brings you here Lady Dia-Artemis" said Reyna as she almost said the her roman name. "We came to tell you to start preparing for war. "They looked at her confused. "But I thought we defeated Gaea" said Jason. "Yes Gaea is defeated, however Chaos is trying to destroy the world. "You mean the creator?" said Jason and Reyna in shock at the same time. "Yes" replied Artemis. Jason and Reyna looked at each other. "We will start preparing for the war" said Jason. Artemis nodded. "And Percy come visit I sometime and tell me your story." I smiled "sure no problem. See you later." I said as we teleported to Greece.

When we appeared in Greece we kind of appeared in the midst of a force of the same monsters we fought before. The monsters looked at us as we just stood there not knowing what to do. Then one of them let out a screech and the monsters all snapped out of it and started to charge at us. We got into a circle and faced the surrounding monsters as we engaged them. I stabbed my sword into the ground and summoned a legion of hellhounds and empousa. As the two forces clashed all you could hear were the blades and screams of the monsters as they fought and died. Then the least thing I expected to happen happened. The ground split under me as I fell into a pit of fire not given the chance to react. For a split second I saw a dragon made out of pure fire fly up into the sky as I heard Artemis scream my name. Then I was engulfed by the flames.
