Lightningkid; They are gods...
Sage; Thanks
Now then, the flashbacks are at an end, so we can get to Percy's current situation a bit more
In the area between Vancouver and Vancouver Island, Gulf Islands (A/N, for those of you who are not of the know, that is pretty much in Puget Sound, which is in Washington State's northern edge, around the Canadian Border)
The might Pacific Ocean, spanning great distance over the full earth, the single largest body of well...anything on earth.
Its edges was known as the Ring of Fire, a mighty span of sea volcanoes that forged multiple islands and gave the entire edge of Terra Firma along the sea's edge a dangerous edge to it
Earthquakes, lava and all sorts of wonderful forces of nature, or annoyed Greek Gods, depending on your religious views.
So, when a island was forced up a good many years ago, even if shrouded by mist, the mortals didn't care much for it.
The island had been risen from the sea by Poseidon, straddling the U.S-Canada Maritime border in the Gulf Islands, had a nice Mediterranean climate that made Artemis feel like she was back home in Greece or Rome
Of course, the island was surrounded by water, there was the issue of getting there...but then again to a legacy of Poseidon and a Goddess whose Neo Hunter powers included the ability to walk on water due to their connection to Theron's father, Percy, water is just another surface to run across (eerily like the ninja show Percy liked)
And so, Theron and Artemis were home, on Kyni̱gós, or Hunter, Island.
"Home sweet home...I really did miss this place" Theron noted, as his mother smiled
"I'm glad to see it too"
The island was about 9 square miles, with white sandy beaches mixed with many natural, rock studded beaches that were common in this area.
Most of the island was unaltered from a natural state, thus it had a great inner forest, in which Artemis kept animals from around the world for herself and Theron to practice tracking (As many of the animals she had were rare, actual hunting was more or less reserved for monsters outside the island). With a bit of aide from Thalia and Percy, she had been able to make the temperature of the island vary at certain points, allowing her to keep creatures on the island ranging from Gorrillas to Reindeer, as well as several Nymphs that served her to whom she had sworn into Styx level secrecy about what had happened who maintained the island and its creatures with constant foliage growth and the distribution of conjured meat.
Their area of residence was just at the point they arrived in, a group of several, very well built houses that looked like they were made up a material in between the Poseidon Cabin's Sea Rock and the silvery wood of the Artemis Cabin (built and constantly being upgraded, by Aunt Annabeth), with gardens of flowers, a stable that housed Artemis's deer and a few horses, including Porkpie, Guido and Blackjack, along with his Lady Friend Pokerface, a large doghouse that housed the hunting wolves and Mrs. O'Leary, a large temple made of marble housing statues of the gods that they didn't hate, as well as Artemis's throne that she had long removed from Olympus, and the little hospital room where Percy and Zaria had just been released from.
The two who were now embracing the returning hunters in a hug; Zaria to Theron and Percy to Artemis
"Theron!" his half sister hugged him tight, as Theron's parents exchanged a chaste but loving kiss
"Your okay, I was worried about you..." Percy began to grovel, before Artemis flicked him in the head comically
"OW! What was that for..."
"For trying to stop a plane..."
"To be fair...it nearly worked" Zaria brought up weakly
Artemis had a delicate look, as if holding back tears "I was worried about you...worried about Theron, Zaria..."
"Hey, I don't die that easily..."
Artemis had a sad smile "I know...I just don't want you doing something that stupid again. Now then, I do believe we need to talk some more...in private"
Percy gulped "Wait, I just got out..." she grabbed him and they vanished in a silver blur, as Theron and Zaria sweat dropped like a duo of anime characters, as if Percy being abducted by his mates, to most likely have sex, in such a fashion was normal (It was)
The only reason that they didn't have a lot more siblings then they did, was because of a handy little trick with the Neo Hunter Powers that was practically the ultimate protection, which also had a side as the ultimate fertility drug.
"Hey, where is everyone?" Theron asked as they left the little settled area, as knowing his mother, the sounds would be starting...
OHHH
Now
"Well, most everyone is out to ask for some more Celestial Bronze from the Cylcops, but Mom, Aunt Annabeth, Shannon, Billie (Named after one of the singers in her mothers, and her own, favorite band, Green Day) and Albert are down by the beach" she said with a smile
The beach was not far from the residence on the island, a small outcropping of sand surrounded by crystal clear water, gently lapping against the shore as they came upon the two older woman, Annabeth and Thalia, along with the two blond haired kids and the dark haired boy
All of them were frolicking about in the waters of the sea, splashing one another
"Hey guys, Theron's back!" Zaria called out, as they turned around to spy the two of them on the beach, waving a hail to them
"THERON!" his aunts and half siblings called out as they burst out of the water to embrace him, their lack of clothing not bothering Theron.
Perhaps an explanation as to why this is going on, and why Theron is not being affected (Which is not due to him being a son of Artemis, who can feel lust, just not as often as normal people)
A long time ago, when Theron and Shannon were still young, Percy was still really, really nervous about the whole, having a harem of females forced on you due to conscience and your scary mates thing, so they decided to do a bit of skinny dipping with Percy to get him more comfortable with the whole idea of having sexual relationships with multiple woman, to which the others knew of
However, they found that they rather liked it, and kept it still to this day. Of course, they weren't the kind to just walk around the entire island in a state of undress, but skinny dipping and nude sunbathing was not entirely uncommon.
Though, this was only when it was just the family at home
So, after a lot of affection from his aunts (A/N, family affection, their is none of, any other kind of affection, on this island not involving the older females and Percy...had to point that out now), Theron and Zaria jumped in the water as well, after stripping, Theron quite glad to be home
The rest of the day for him, was spent at the beach, reconciling with his family, as well as the rest of the family as they returned from their celestial bronze gathering mission, prior to a warm, home cooked meal from Ahou before he could finally fall asleep once more on his own bed, surrounded by the calming scents of his forest and his ocean
Not Camp Halfblood's
Later that night
In the bedroom, Artemis was lying next to Percy, cuddling up to him as she sighed in relief for having her need sated, and Percy to looked happy, as he softly stroked her sides.
While they were no longer making love, Percy's touch was soothing to the huntress, as he rubbed a few sore points from her run back with Theron, before they exchanged a kiss
"I love you, Percy"
"I love you too, Artemis" it was odd, saying this to multiple girls at the same time, while they all knew, but Percy had gotten used to it. They needed him as much as he needed them.
He gave them immortality and the Neo Hunter powers, and they gave him a reason to live, after his old life was destroyed by Zeus's censuring.
"So...do you think we're in danger, Percy" Artemis asked, concerned, after a moment of silence. Percy frowned, as he pulled Artemis closer
"They attacked us without warning once, and they probably think they can do it again. But this island is carefully hidden, and you obviously were discreet in returning home"
She smirked as she turned herself around to stare Percy in the face "I'm all about discreet, Percy. No trackers were on me or Theron, and I was careful to keep the path in the forest, where I can hide the movements we make easily. There is no way they could have tracked me"
"Still, I can't help but worry about you guys" he scratched behind Artemis's ear like one might a cat affectionately "I don't want you guys getting hurt"
"Personal loyalty again, Percy?" a voice asked as another body slipped into the bedroom. While the thought of a threesome had never been brought up or conducted, it was not uncommon for two girls to sleep with him at night.
Love Making included.
"Hisani" he smiled as the black huntress cuddled into his other side, her large chest sliding along his back.
"Its nice to see you and Theron have returned, Lady Artemis" she spoke over Percy "Percy, you can't keep us here forever, safe or not"
"Like I'd even try...you'd all beat me to a pulp if I even thought of it" he muttered
"No matter what happens, we will stand with you against Olympus itself" she said confidently
"You sound like as if I want to attack Olympus" Percy muttered
"But they attacked us, and kidnapped Theron, our son!" Artemis hissed as he sighed "They deserve a complete ass kicking!"
"And I hate them for what they did and tried to do to Theron, but I don't want to start a war. As much as I want to kick Zeus's ass, and knock that inbred bastard down a few pegs, I don't want to start an American-Canadian war, or something"
Artemis frowned, he was scared about what it might do to the mortal world?
"I mean, if a couple of fighting big three children caused the Second World War, I don't want to know what a war between Olympians would be like" Percy said with unease.
"But, the Titan and Giant wars didn't do something like that" Hisani offered
"Not totally, several of the 'terrorist' attacks in America, or attempts at such, or acts of violence like campus shootings, from home grown terrorists, were actually issues from the Titan War, and the Giants caused many natural disasters" Artemis admitted
"I just don't want to cause a Hurricane to rip apart New York or some other disaster. " he admitted "Is that so wrong?"
Artemis sighed, as she edged closer to him "No...but its annoying"
"But, your heart is one of your beast qualities" Hisani smiled at him "With it, you wouldn't be the hero who saved us from two horrible fates; slavery and Krios. Now then, Lady Artemis if you..."
"No, I don't mind" she yawned "I need to get some sleep anyway" she closed her eyes, her head on a pillow as Percy was on Hisani duty.
