Percy's POV:
As we walked across the road I heard Erebus and Nyx start to laugh. I looked at them with total disdain for the love they had for each other. It just got me depressed. Ever since Annabeth broke up with me a started to think that I never really loved her. I don't know who I love right now, but I know I love some one with silver eyes and auburn hair. I cant remember her face or her name. That alone could depress any man even a partial god.
"Halt" Jarred me out of my thought. I could hear that he this boy was afraid of us. I think I know why.
"Guys I said you need to suppress your power. With all of us here it probably feels like were more powerful than the council ." I whispered in the most commanding voice I could muster which is a lot after my experience as the commander during the Battle for Manhattan. I guess it work because I felt everyone drop their powers to demi-god levels.
"Ok, I am Nick, and this is Mark. We will bring you as far as the Little Tiber. At the river you will meet with Reyna, she will decide if you will be aloud into camp. If we find out you lied to us you will be punished severely." The boy named Nick stated. I snickered at the last part. As if they could truly hurt us. We followed regardless. As we entered a service entrance I realized it was a entrance to a long tunnel that looked to go on forever. I started to let my mind wander to this silver eyed girl.
I heard Aether and Hemera chuckling as if they were laughing at my misfortune. I noticed ahead of us Thalia and Nico were holding hands. Good for them it was time for them together. I mean come on I knew why Thalia got kicked out of the hunters I knew as soon as she said it. I guess this entire fiasco is what they needed to get together. I hope it lasts. Me in any case probably wouldn't ever fall in love. Or at least not truly in love.
Hades' POV: (On Olympus)
If I had to guess Artemis is in love with Percy. I wonder if that's why she was starring off into space.
"And whose Percy to you then Poseidon. Because last time I checked he was also your son and because of Max hes heartbroken and you don't even care. Athena what about Percy he went and did the twelve labors of Hercules so that he could marry your daughter and what does she do brake his heart." Artemis said with as it seamed all the hate she had for the two. Athena looked a little hurt but Poseidon just looked smug.
"Why should I care about Percy. Max is a better son than he ever was." Poseidon said with a face that said that he believed himself completely. I noticed Aphrodite in the corner of my eye looked the on with the same expression I had on my face im sure. I know Artemis had the seen Aphrodite's and my expression.
"Zeus do you know where your daughter is now?" I asked smugly.
"No brother nor do I care for her. She let me down and left the hunters. Sam is my favorite daughter." Zeus said with the same face that Poseidon talked with just moment before.
"Well brother" I seared."They left Camp. They also had Nico with them. I for one am concerned for my son and favorite niece and nephew. They saved Olympus not us gods and how did we repay them. We forgot them. I hope you remember that when they come back because they will don't worry your pretty little heads about it and went they do id be scared especially you, Zeus, Poseidon and you, Athena. The rest of us never truly forgot as it wasn't are responsibility. It was your and you failed. I'm ashamed to be related to you." I furnished my rant before starting to walk out but not before give Artemis a look which said fallow me after the meeting.
Hades' POV (On Earth)
After the me that was in Olympus walked out. I returned to my body on earth thinking about what I had just seen. Percy in love with Artemis. Oh that's rich. I cant believe that they are in love with each other. Although. I guess it makes scene seeing as Percy saved Artemis for the Atlas's curse. Artemis in turn saved Percy from the very same curse. I wondered what Zeus would think if he knew. If I had to guess he would kill Percy. Oh I am gonna have to take a trip to the Fates to see about Artemis's vows. If I had to guess the Fates did not make her vow on the Styx binding because I can see them getting together.
Artemis's POV:
Gods after Aphrodite's little quip I was even more confused. Do I really love Percy does he love me like she says. Gods I hope so. I walked in the direction I say Hades go I really hope he can tell me where Percy is because if not I may have to castrate one of the big three. I'm desperate and I know but I mean can people blame me. After I lost my connection with Percy I felt so helpless and Hades sudden hints just gave me hope if he crushes that hope I don't know what id do.
"What do you want Hades" I asked as I walked up to him in the darkest back streets of Olympus. Even Olympus had back streets and even then their grand back streets.
"Well Artemis I know where Percy is and 'I am' prepared to tell you" he sated. I knew there was a but Hades never does anything for free. Especially when someone wants information.
"But..." I prompted him knowing he would go on.
"Well first of all I want to know, do you love Perseus Jackson." his question threw me off. Because in truth I am but I don't want him knowing. "secondly" he started jarring me out of my thoughts "would you like to see him."
"You know where he is and you want to take me to him. Whats in this for you Hades. I know you wouldn't do this for free." I shot back knowingly.
"Well Artemis, I do love him as a son. That and currently I know that he would love to see you. But most of all I know that Nico wants Percy to be happy and Percy right now is depressed to the point of he was going to commit suicide." Wow Hades admitting he loves Percy as son that's high praise from the lord of the dead. I did know about the suicide part I learned about it the second he thought of it
"You think I didn't know he was going to commit suicide. I had part of my essence following the man I love of coarse. The second he dropped of the map I was beyond scared I felt week. Hades, and I never feel week. So please for both of are sakes please take me to him."
"Artemis I can not take you to him yet." he stated with a glum look on his face.
"WHY not Hades. Why can you take me to the one man I will ever love." I practically screamed in his face.
"Because, Artemis, he is going to the Little Tiber to remove the curse of Achilles form him self so he can do it again." What I thought why would he do that if he did that then hes liable to die.
"Why would he do this Hades."
"Because for Thalia and Nico are going to have it so he feels he must do it again. Or at least that's what he thinks. The real reason why is because he doesn't want Annabeth to be his tie to earth, as he does not care for her anymore. The only one on his mind has auburn hair and striking silver eyes, as he puts it. So I will take you to him after he has bathed in the Little Tiber. For if we go now my cover is blown and so are the others." Hades said with the up most certainty. Oh gods I just realized I have auburn hair and silver eyes. He was thinking of me.
"Fine Hades, but you better be telling the truth or you will have to be called the castrated god if not." I threatened. Then laughed at the expression on his face because he knew I was serious.
