PLEASE READ

This is written in Artemis' third person POV.

This one is about 3,000 words.

nofunnybusnies - I said I got them from mixed sources. So they are not accurate, probably.

STILL-D.R.E - In this story Miyamoto Musashi and Merlin are just mortals favored by certain gods for their skills. In the time of Merlin, magic was a practice, so in this story humans have some ability to use magic, unless Hecate curses them. And with the last name 'Effigy' it just sounds cool and it sounds even better when put with the first name Erin. And how would Poseidon be a descendent? And you can't count the Titans or Primevals.

Blitzing Riptide - I'll give you some clues with the girl, it should be easy to work out.

1) She was in a star, a source of great power

2) It mentions that primevals are present, doesn't really specify which are and are not.

And as for the staff, well imagine it like the hunters bows. It will come to him when he wants it to but leave when he doesn't need it. I'll describe the attributes of both weapons in here seeing as how I can't figure out how to list them in the story.

Tribune - Oriental Katana, four and a half feet long, fourteen inch handle, yin and yang styled cross-guard, fancy engraved hilt, Blade split in half, gold on the bladed side and black on the flat side with runes running from base to point. The cross-guard and hilt are celestial bronze, the handle is black wood with checkered pattern made from tightly wrapped white linen. It can only be picked up by Erin/Percy, can chop through celestial bronze and marble like butter. Indestructible and untarnishable.

Yggdrasil - Six feet tall staff, golden caps on both ends, two golden braces spread out evenly on the black wood with a white engraved dragon running down it surrounded by similar runes that are on the sword. Can only be held by Erin/Percy. Indestructible and untarnishable.

Those are his weapons and I may not have mentioned something about them.

Zeta's-Awakening - I've always wanted to try a harem and this story idea gave me the chance so I took it. I also have a short attention span so if there are mistakes its because while re-reading what I wrote I get bored and miss things. I hate harems where the girls act like 'Mindless drones', as you so well put it, so I will be making them very independent.

book study - Read the summary and you will see a certain legion that will take place.

And for all those others who read this story and review or favorite, I thank you for your support. I will be adding some very crazy stuff in the next chapter but I personally believe they are one of a kind ideas that will entertain people.

ENJOY!

Chapter 5

Revolution

Artemis

Artemis pondered over these last four hundred years as her hunt rested near the village of Kirokesh and castle Beroug, ruled by the tyrant king, Jasopel Filia. He was a pig like most men, but not like Percy Jackson.

Four hundred years ago he was banished and half a year after he was banished his brother disappeared because everyone grew to hate him like they should and want Percy back. Blake disappeared deep into the ocean and was never found again, not even by his father or his twin, who now both hate him.

They realized their mistake and began to look for Percy with the immortals and few gods who already were. They were all distraught that they couldn't find him but never gave up, even hundreds of years later. Mainly because Hades' says that Percy's soul never entered the underworld.

All the women that were at the reading of his journal those four centuries ago have worked out their indecision and… compromised. No matter how awkward it sounds they would not let Percy be hurt like that again, they would keep his heart and protect it, if they find him that is.

In these four hundred years the Earth has changed dramatically. There is now one giant landmass that is positioned with one third up from the bottom tip is directly on the equator, making the north very cold. An advantage of the movement caused by Gaea is the rapid natural production of minerals like coal and iron; it even made celestial bronze and imperial gold to show up in certain places like mount Hurakan, the largest volcano that reaches twice as high as Mount Everest, directly in the center of the mega continent.

And that is where the hunters are right now, hunting for a mysterious man with many titles in the lower north. He has a lot of titles and they are very bountiful.

The marauder of freedom and the slayer of corruption are two that he gained when he raided several slave camps made by tyrant kings and freed the innocent, as well as killed said tyrants, usually by hanging them from their castle portcullis'.

He earned the titles, the eternal orchestrator and the emperor of revolution, because he has been around for three hundred and eighty years and has been at the pinochle point of the fall and rise of kingdoms for said centuries.

He earned the title, the commander of the stone giants, because it is said that he has an army of stone giants at his command that he can use to crush his enemies.

He received the title, the grand battle-mage, because of his battle skills that are unparalleled and his magical abilities that can only be matched by the goddess of magic herself, Hecate.

One of his others is the admiral of magic, cause he is rumored to have a fleet of ancient flying war machines that wreak havoc upon his enemies.

But his true name is one that strikes fear and awe into others, even a lot of the gods. His name is Erin Effigy, the unknown king, warrior of oblivion. There are rumours that he has an island kingdom somewhere in the large harbor called Jackson harbor, named after Percy Jackson, and he was given the title of 'the unknown king' since no one knows who he really is or what he looks like.

He was also given the title of 'warrior of oblivion' because he was rumored to have singlehandedly obliterated vast armies of mortals, demigods and monsters alike without getting so much as a scratch on him while using his unique oriental sword, Tribune, or his staff, Yggdrasil.

The gods of Olympus acquisitioned the hunters to track him down and bring him to Olympus, now in what was once known as northern Africa, on the coast of Jackson harbor, right near New Athens and Rome. The hunters weren't worried though, the rumors are just exaggerations. How good can one person be?

Artemis heard commotion outside her tent and rose to go check what it was. Outside of her tent the hunters were scrambling about grabbing their bows and quivers while a few others retrieved the hunting dogs.

Phoebe, Artemis' lieutenant for four hundred years skidded to a halt in front of her lady. Artemis saw a smoke trail rising above the tree line; the smoke was coming from the town of Kirokesh and castle Beroug.

Before Phoebe could mutter a word Artemis was gone from the clearing, sprinting towards the smoke in hope that Erin will be there. She arrived at her clearing a few minutes before her hunters arrived and saw her frozen in place. Observing the carnage wrought upon the guards by the towns people.

A few of the lightly armed villagers went down but two more took his/her place and rushed the guards. After watching with sick fascination Artemis decided to investigate.

She caught a woman by her elbow and asked her "Who is leading this rebellion?" the women saw the goddess and her troop and quickly bowed down low. Another thing is that the mist was completely shattered by Gaea and now the mortals knew of the gods.

"Lady Artemis" she replied, still bowed, it wasn't every day that the moon goddess shows up during a revolution against a corrupt king "It is the grand battle-mage himself, Erin Effigy" her voice was filled with adoration.

That's another thing about Effigy, almost everyone adores him, except corrupt male kings, the female queen's adore him like the rest. There are also pictures of him represented on linen weavings and paintings.

In the weavings and paintings he has black or white hair, pale skin littered with tattoos and blood red eyes. He is also depicted as very muscular. Those weavings and paintings were made by those who said they've seen him, which is really unlikely because most say he never takes off his hooded cloak.

"You may go" said Artemis to the villager. Said villager bowed once more before sprinting off into the fight while brandishing a kitchen knife. Most of the commotion was moving towards the castle so the hunters followed in the shadows, eager to get the drop on Effigy.

The guards were forced back to the castle gates on the rock mesa that that the castle was built on, the only known way in. They did this because of basic strategy so that they could funnel the villagers into the gates and kill them; one by one the only flaw to their plan was that the gates were sealed shut.

Guards and villagers fell as they were now at a standstill. 'Where is he?' Artemis mentally questioned herself. Her question was answered as she saw a man that had blonde hair and blue eyes with a tight noose around his neck that was connected to the top of the portcullis bellow him. Next to him was a little girl with blonde hair and blue eyes like him that regarded him with hate, she couldn't have been more than six.

And behind the kneeled and bloodied man at the edge of the battlements was the hunter's target, the one that they've seen but never been even close to catching. He wore a linen hooded tunic that cast a shadow over his face but revealed his nose, jaw, a full snow white goatee and all viewable skin completely covered in tribal/runic tattoos.

The sleeves were short, mid bicep, revealing even more tattooed pale but muscular arms, and on his left arm was a legion symbol with crossed torches and a chalice under them. On his back was sheathed the blade of legend itself, Tribune, the arch of justice and absolution, bane of kings. He wore some wool and leather long pants under his tunic with leather soled boots.

'Over all he looks good' Artemis thought but immediately pushed the thought away 'I am a maiden goddess I can't think these things' she scolded herself.

As her side that surfaced since she met Percy and her usual cold and calculating side were about to get into a heated argument Erin turned around from talking to the girl, who closed her eyes, turned around and covered her ears.

'At least he stopped that innocent girl from watching' Artemis thought approvingly, letting a child watch someone getting hanged can, and probably will, scar them for life. He called out to the warring crowds below.

"SILENCE!" his voice was like thunder, it was familiar to Artemis but seemed different at the same time. She couldn't place it but all she knew was that it was deeper. Everyone stopped their fighting and looked up at him.

The guards begun to futilely try and pry the door open when they saw their king ready to be hanged but it was impossible to get through, like it was enchanted by magic. And if his reputation is true then the door probably was enchanted by magic

"This is the tyrant king Jesopel Filia. He has spilt the blood of your children and enslaved hundreds of your families to his mines!" his voice was harsh and cold, but it carried a certain awkwardness to it that made the goddess and her more experienced hunters think that he hates to talk like that.

"Are you just going to stand there and watch these despicable acts be committed!" the crowd roared out in approval and the guards, realizing that they have no chance of winning, slinked off to somewhere, unseen by the bloodthirsty crowd.

"No you will not, and neither will I. He has spilt the blood of countless innocence and it is now time for his judgement and damnation!" he placed his foot on Jesopel's upper back, in between his shoulder blades "This is ending of his life and the beginning of your revolution!" he roared and gave one sharp push with his leg.

The crowd cheered as the large CRAACCCKKK! That accustomed a hanging was heard. Hanging from the portcullis, like a bad hunting trophy, was the body of the late king Filia, latest victim of Erin's absolution.

Erin mouthed a few words that would've been inaudible but thankfully Artemis learned to read lips a long time ago. He said "Till death do you part, your heart shall unbind you" now known all over the world of Pangaea for the last three hundred years as the hymn of punishment and redemption and rumored to have been started by none other than Erin Effigy.

Erin turned around, took the little girls hand and walked into the castle. Since the castle is on a small mesa with only one known way in and out Artemis used her power over the surrounding forest to find the secret entrance/exit. Every castle has one, whether the king knows about it or not, one would be foolish not to have one.

She located it at the foot of the mesa on the opposite end of the gate next to a water fall that goes into a small river that leads to a small lake by Kirokesh. Artemis lead her hunters around to the other side of the mesa and saw Erin and the girl walking south-east through the woods, completely un-agitated.

The newest hunter, Ashley, fired a warning shot too close and almost took his head off. It says almost because the man's head twitched out of the way and his hand came up and caught the arrow without even looking at it. He did all this without even losing his stride.

"Good shot hunter" he said turning around, staring straight at where Ashley was standing. In a matter of seconds he and the girl were surrounded. She clung tightly to his leg, looking at the hunters fearfully.

"Give us the girl Erin and come with us" said Artemis "The gods of Olympus demand your presence on Olympus" she thought he would come. No one would deny a visit to Olympus or the demands of the gods. One would be either foolish or extremely brave to refuse.

He snorted "The gods can't demand anything from me Artemis" his voice was harsh and cold but no way near as cold as Phoebes when she addressed him "It's Lady Artemis to you boy".

Phoebe turned to the girl and crouched on one knee "Come here little girl. Get away from that man" she asked kindly, but sternly and the girl shook her head and snuggled closer to Erin's warm leg.

"What did you do to her?" demanded Elizabeth, a hunter that has been with the hunters before Zoe died and an adamant hater of all boys, save one. They all heard the whole tale of Perseus and had come to admire and respect him. Wouldn't you admire someone who can gain the approval of the man-hating goddess Artemis and her equally man-hating ex-lieutenant? Or the approval of his father's enemy, Athena?

"I rescued, Regina" he said, he made sure to cover her ears "Her father was the king, her mother was a slave descendent of Aphrodite that he raped and despite carrying his blood he treated her like dirt".

The hunters were shocked but Phoebe was still trying to urge Regina over to her.

"How about this" said Erin "We let her choose instead of forcing her" he gave a pointed look at Phoebe who scowled in response. He made Regina let go of him and crouched down to her level.

She was scared; he could see it in her eyes "Who do you want to go with? Me?" he gestured to himself "Or them?" he gestured to the hunters.

Regina didn't even take time to think and latched herself to Erin, who chuckled and picked her up. Artemis decided it was time for her to step in "It doesn't make a difference boy you are requested on Olympus. Either you come peacefully or forcefully".

"Hmmm…" he appeared to mull it over but anyone could tell it was just for show "I think I'll go with the forcefully part" he paused before giving them an expectant look "Can you really force me?" the hunters just glared at him harder and a few released their arrows, careful not to hit Regina.

The arrows stopped in mid-air about a meter or so away from the pair. He snickered at the shocked expressions the hunters wore "Magic is everything" he slashed his free hand in a downward arch next to him and a blue flame-like vortex appeared out of nowhere where his hand had swept across.

"And everything is magic" finished Melanie, a daughter of Hecate "The credence of magic" she whispered, eying him. He looked over his shoulder at the stunned hunters.

"Send my regards to the gods" he began to walk through but stopped right next to it and craned his next to look directly into Artemis' yellowy-silver eyes… red against silver. "And send the regards of Percy Jackson to" and stepped through the portal.

Before anyone could do anything the portal sealed shut behind him with a pop! And splutter, like a miniature blue, flaming wormhole closing. 'He knows something about Percy!' Artemis mentally chaffed herself for letting him go when he has important information.

Artemis needed to find him but she also had to inform the council and who knows where he went. She gathered her hunters and ordered them to go pack up the campsite and make way for the camp grounds near Olympus, about two days walk or half a day run for the hunters, considering their blessing from Artemis and that they aren't too far away from Olympus.

After they left she flashed to her throne on Olympus. All the gods were already there… arguing like usual. Clearing her throat all attention was diverted to her.

"What have you found daughter?" Zeus demanded. She retold the events of the revolution and by the end Ares was grinning and Athena was contemplating, others where just worried or plain nonchalant.

"He hanged Filia off of his castle gate to show that the corrupt cannot hide from justice" Athena said like the bookworm she is, albeit a very sexy bookworm but still a bookworm.

"Who cares!" shouted Ares, maniac gleam in his eyes; he's been like that ever since Aphrodite got a divorce from Hephaestus, stopped having as much demigod children and dumped him four hundred years ago, she hasn't even been on a date for four centuries, and its concerning everyone but the nine other girls "Was there a lot of blood?" he demanded.

"Yes there was blood" Artemis deadpanned. Are grinned and got all giddy in his seat "Was there…" he was interrupted by his father.

"ENOUGH WITH WAR!" Ares shrunk into his seat at his father's glare. Zeus turned to Artemis and his eyes softened "Is there anything else daughter?" he asked in a considerably lower tone than he just used.

"Yes. When he left he said to send his regard to the gods" said people rolled their eyes "And to send the regards of Percy Jackson" their heads snapped up, a few snapped literally, and their eyes shone with a new vigor.

"He knows where my son is!" Poseidon all but roared. The gods that didn't betray Percy rolled their eyes and thought 'Doesn't he remember he disowned him?'

"That's what Anthony said" Dionysus said innocently. He loves to mess up everyone's names and mixes Artemis' up with boy's names just to annoy her, let's just say it works.

"Don't call me Anthony!" she was visibly trembling in rage 'Coming so close to finding him yet this old drunk just annoys me even more' she thought 'If he wasn't a god he would be dead. I should have killed him before he became a god'.

"We must find this man!" said Zeus "Artemis, you look for him through the wilds" he turned to address Athena "Keep an eye on each village and tell us when and where a revolt may happen" he turned to his brother "Search Jackson harbor again, with the New Athens fleet, and don't stop till you find his island if it really is there".

He turned to Ares "Go inform the Romans to keep an eye out for him" he turned to Hermes "Go tell the Greeks to watch out for him" they nodded.

"The rest of you will assist Athena, Poseidon and Artemis with their tasks, understood" the other Olympians nodded "Council dismissed!" he disappeared in a shower of sparks that swathed the whole room before retreating into the sky.

"Drama queen" mumbled Poseidon before going to search the harbor… for the thousandth time in the last two years alone. The rest left in silence, too stunned to really do much.

'We will find you Erin' thought the moon goddess 'and when we find you, you are going to tell us where Percy is, or else'. She flashed down to her hunters, who were camped near the fishing village of Carnich, just north of Olympus.
