The Moon's secret Love

Artemis' POV

I was in a haze the next morning when I awoke. I was in an emotional disruption. In happiness,

confusion and love. I was wondering how I was going to break this up to Percy. So I was on my way

to Percy's palace. I heard murmuring, damn this was what happened last time but the voices where

clearer now. I heard only a faint voice of my father's, Zeus and I think I heard Aphrodite's? I'm not sure

I was already there when I got interrupted by my father. I went and talked to him. Wondering what he

was wanting to talk to me about.

He said that I had to slay the hydra once and for all, by myself. I was shocked at this but he said that

I had an exception. I was allowed to bring one companion. At first I thought that I could bring Thalia,

my head-huntress. She was very good at shooting and her marksmanship was excellent, She was almost

as good as me! But then I thought about Percy, If I brought him along then I could get to talk with him

and express my feelings for him. Then my emotion disruption would be gone. But again a skilled

huntress who doesn't know how or what to do to beat a Hydra. Or a very skilled swordsman, who of

which sort has very high experience with handling the Hydra.

I set out to ask Athena, before that I thanked my father. I teleported there, Athena was at her door the

moment I was there. Dressed in full battle armor holding a spear in hand. She sighed, thanking the lord

it was just me. She asked why I was here and I said that I needed to ask her something. A choice I said.

She replied back,

"Of which people are your choices?"

"Thalia or Percy."

"hahaha! Are you serious with that question? The answer is simple and clear. Not even a second to

think (you might think right now that she would choose Thalia) You should choose Percy!"

"Ok, Athena whatever you say, I only trust you since you're the smartest person in the whole universe.

Once again I set out for Percy's Palace. When I got there I knocked 3 times and he opened and

welcomed me inside. He asked me why I was there and I said that I would want to invite him to a

quest with me. He of course being the best sword fighter at Camp Half Blood agreed to this offer. I

silently thanked the Gods.

We were about to set out when I just remembered, I didn't know where the Hydra was. Since Percy

knew of the Hydra more then me I asked him in which area we could find it. He answered,

"the best place to actually find one is in the sea of monsters"

"To the sea of monsters it is then."

I teleported us there. I imagined the place in my head. Picturing and imagerizing it. When we got there,

we saw a cave. A huge one. The pathway was made of Torches of burning skulls. The inscription was

there

ENTER IF YOU DARE!

Percy's POV

We did with Artemis' Bow strung up to cord, and Riptide uncapped. When we came in Artemis

produced a glowing ball in her hand. It was like a meteorite that glowed. Anyway, we were getting

ready to face the Hydra. The cave was beautiful, It was a shining cave. It glowed with crystals and

gems. Artemis was fascinated by what she saw.

Suddenly Artemis was shot by a Wave of heated white

fire. I jumped on her and took the fire into myself seeping it out of body as it hit me. That was a cool

trick I learned in training. Anyway, the Hydra's heads were on to us, it was charging and we had to

duck not to get stampeded by an angry Hydra. Artemis Tried Shooting while running but failed. We had

to keep running luckily this cave was very big and the Hydra was very slow. While the Hydra was

running it kept shooting out Flames of white as we tried our escape. When Artemis and I got out of the

cave, I charged strait for the Hydra. Artemis was firing with almost every Arrow she had. But it seemed

like she had an infinite supply of arrows that were buffed my magic. I tried for the Hydra's stomach-it's

only week spot- but it shot white flames at me and so I took a step back. Artemis was firing 3 per

second. And I was very tired of getting shot again and again. So I did my last charge and luckily while I

struck at him with my sword she struck at the same time with an arrow. It fell to the ground as I thought

it would.

After that me and the Goddess were just talking. I didn't know it but I was deeply in love with her.

After that she finally asked her this very wonderful question.

"Do you Love me, Perseus?"

"Of course my dear Artemis, of course."

And at that, we kissed.

We weren't seen the night at Olympus 'cause we slept there on the island. Together.
