Yes, I decided to do this one, so here it is. Remember that this comes after the HoO series.

Edit: I edited some spelling errors

Enjoy!

Chapter One: Introductions

I was running fast, my feet barely touching the ground. I was chasing a target who had done "Terrible Deeds", according to my patron. He was running as fast as he could, but he couldn't outrun me. Training really took a toll on me, especially archery, but it really increased my endurance. There was nothing that could stop me.

Wait. What do you mean by "Ohh, this is one of those Chaos fanfics!" I mean who IS Chaos? He wasn't in any of my books! (AN: Breaking the fourth wall like a boss!) And no, I'm neither a Guardian of the Hunt nor Artemis' Champion. What in Hades are you talking about? Artemis would rather kill me then suicide before she would let a man be in the Hunt, much less Her Guard. Oh, and shut up about how "Forbidden love forms between us!". There is a reason that it's called "Forbidden". And besides, I can't love anymore. Not after she died.

~Flashback to the past!~

"Why, why did you take the knife for me!" I yelled at Annabeth's deceased body. A dracanea was about to stab me in the back, breaking my spine, when she jumped in front of me. She was too far away to block it effectively, so she used her eye socket as a shield. The blade went straight through her eye, stabbing her brain. I exploded, just like in Mt. Saint Helens, only I was more powerful. I didn't faint, but I was close. All the monsters in a three thousand meter radius disintegrated. The gods, taking advantage of my energy burst, stabbed the Giants as my explosion hit them, sending them back to Gaea. I then turned my attention to Annabeth's body. I made an eyepatch out of my shirt and put it on Annabeth's left socket.

After the war, things only got worse. My parents died, thanks to a tiny group of monsters. Thanks to that, I stopped going outside my cabin for good. The door to the cabin was barricaded, and whenever an Iris Message appeared, I slashed through it before whoever they were could utter a word. Depression was a part of my life. I was close to cutting myself when Dad showed up.

"Hello, son," said Poseidon.

"Not to be rude," I said, "but what are you doing here? Isn't there a law that says that you can't visit your kids?"

"I'm here to stop your depression," I protested but was silenced. "As for your second question, I can bend the rules a little."

So, since I didn't have a good reason to stay, we teleported to Olympus. I arrived in Aphrodite's palace with my dad. It had pink everywhere. Pink walls, pink floors, pink dressers. Then the goddess herself appeared. She was as beautiful and stunning as always, but I didn't feel anything. I had lost the capacity to love.

"You promised to help him. You promised to relive him of his grief. So do it," said Poseidon in a calm, commanding voice.

She then went to "inspect" me, if inspect means feeling my abs. "I'm sorry, Uncle, but his grief is just too deep. And I can't make him forget the reason of his depression. It's implanted in his brain, and if I remove it, it could kill him," said the Love Goddess, rubbing her hand over by pecs. "But I can offer him something to keep his mind off Annabeth."

I started getting apprehensive, "What offer?"

"Be my Champion."

~Ending Flashback!~

So I did. Why? It's because everytime I help her stop teen pregnancy, kill a person who cheated on his/her spouse, or help a person fall in love, I get less sad. Plus, camp training has gone sub-par since Annabeth left us. The other campers weren't as good as her at teaching. The training I get with Aphrodite is actually better. For example:

~Yet another flashback~

"You're an archer?" I said in unbelief. Aphrodite had perfect aim, hitting the bullseye every time. She even split a few bolts.

Aphrodite said, "Yes, young pupil. In the early days, when I replaced Eros, or Cupid, I had to do the shooting myself! Hades, I think I rival even my twin siblings!" Great, even someone as vain as Aphrodite can use a bow while I can't. Then she flicked my forehead. Hard.

"You don't call your patron 'Vain', young Perseus," said Aphrodite as she summoned a mirror to check her make up, contradicting herself.

~End of flashback~

So I learned archery. Yep, Percy's leveled up! So after I could shoot pretty well Aphrodite gave me a bow. It was named, you guessed it, after Aphrodite herself.

It was called "Aphrodite's Love". The bow was made of dense gold, with a heart covering the grip and the curled ends. It came with a golden quiver with another heart on it. There were three divisions, Celestial bronze arrows, normal arrows, and… love arrows. These special arrows had heart shaped heads, and when hit by one, it increases your feelings for your "special someone" tenfold. It was like love was a seed, and the love arrows were fertilizer. I tried stabbing myself with one, but nothing happened.

Back to reality. So here I am, shooting at the cheating husband. Not with the love arrows, but with normal ones. Aphrodite said that this guy didn't deserve to live, so I came to shoot him. Then he stopped in his tracks.

"Please don't kill me! I have a wife and three kids!" Said the man.

"Yeah, a wife you cheated on!" I yelled as I pulled out a steel arrow, and stabbed him. Then I used another gift of Aphrodite's, The Wings of Cupid. Yep, I can fly, and Zeus can't shoot me down! So I flew to my lady's palace.

"Mission Complete, my Lady!" I said, doing a fist pump.

"Well, that's good. I can see that that wife will find a better husband in two years time," said Aphrodite. "But I have another task for you."

"What, my lady?" I asked, surprised at the serious tone she used. She was always happy and bubbly. It must be a dangerous mission.

"Shoot Artemis and her Hunt. Preferably with the Love arrows."

So there you have it. I will post the second chapter soon, so R&R till I do.
