Chapter 5: Champion of the Moon Goddess?

"Percy, you have to feel the food!" said Aphrodite. She gave me power over Aphrodisiac food, so I could control them, make them animated, morph them into a sword, and more. Only, it was really hard to master. I tried to make a chocolate gun with almonds for bullets, but in reality it looked like poop, with chunky parts. I shifted it, so now it looked like a spiked baseball bat. Or more poop.

"Not like that Per- Oh HEY Artemis!" At that, I hid behind the table where I placed the chocolate. It has been three days after the "Incident" happened, and Artemis has been pissed at me. She couldn't believe that she had fallen in love with a man at one point, so naturally, she had to hate the object of her affection. Namely, me. Every time we meet, she would bring out her bow and point it at me.

"Aphrodite, have you seen Perseus? I need to... 'talk' to him," asked the Goddess of the Moon.

"What do you mean when you say, 'talk'? Are you going to hurt my Champion?" asked Aphrodite, concern evident in her voice. She probably doesn't want to lose her most loyal servant.

"Just tell me where he is!" yelled Artemis. Apollo must have added fuel to the fire. I believe I did see them talking before my lady led me into the Arena to practice. "Or I'll make you." Then she loaded her bow, pointing it at Aphrodite's face. I couldn't see my lady's face, but I could tell she was smirking. She twirled, grabbing a bow and pointed it at Artemis, bow also loaded.

"You must have forgotten that I too am good with a bow," said Aphrodite. She fired an arrow, knocking Artemis' bow out of her hand. She then nocked another bolt.

"Fine. I will ask someone else," said Artemis. "You have made a dangerous enemy out of me, Aphrodite." She then teleported, leaving me with my lady and my chocolate.

6PM, Same Day

"They're in front of the Garden!" said Aphrodite in my head. A couple was about to break up, but she needed them together. More drama. I swooped down, my feet touching the asphalt. I was in front of the Madison Square Garden. I had always wanted to go here when I was a kid. But not like this. I looked around, to see a couple arguing in front of a Honda Civic. I pulled out an arrow and nocked it when another arrow, different from mine hit the couple. They both screamed out of frustration and left instantly, the girl walking and the guy driving away in his sedan. When they left, I saw a feminine figure next to an arrow with a crescent arrowhead.

"Lady Artemis, Mission Accomplished," she said. That's it, I have to interfere. I jumped from my hiding place and tackled her to the ground.

"Who are you?" I asked with authority. I brought Riptide out and put it at her neck. "Tell me!"

"Servant of the Goddess of the Hunt," she said as she kicked me off her. Wait, she was Artemis' Champion! Artemis is so unoriginal.

"Well then, in the name of the Goddess of Love, I WILL defeat you*!" I yelled, drawing Riptide. The mystery person drew her hunting knife and dashed towards me, swinging her knife down in an arc. I blocked and tried to go under her guard, but she sidestepped. I kicked her chest and stabbed, putting her on defense. She tried to slice me, but I side-stepped and disarmed her. Before she could react, I had her pinned to a tree, Riptide at her neck. Her mask was the only thing stopping me from revealing her identity. I ripped it off, exposing the face.

Sami.

"Sami, what the hell? Why are you working with Artemis?" I yelled.

"It doesn't hurt that she's VERY persuasive. Plus, nice pay. I mean, a hundred drachmas for one mission, that's crazy!" said Sami. "No hard feelings for dumping you, right?"

"Yeah, it's okay, I guess," I said. "Just answer one question. What were those crescent moon arrows for?"

"They're pretty much the opposite of your love arrows. By the way, your love arrows drove the Hunters with lust. Luckily, they know how to deal with it, unlike Artemis," said Sami. After that, I let her go. Loyalty and kindness got to me, okay!

Then a smirk appeared on her face, "You DO know I have another mission, right?"

"Um, what?"

"To kill you!" She lunged at me, stabbing my chest. She searched me, stealing my ambrosia and nectar. I was too weak to retaliate. The blade had gone through my heart. I was going to die, and she just walked away, like I was nothing.

Athena WAS right, my fatal flaw would be my doom. "I-I'm finished*," I said, slipping into unconsciousness.

I woke up in a hospital bed. I was about to get up when a strong yet slim hand forced me down. I looked up to see Aphrodite, a spoon in hand. She dribbled nectar in my mouth.

"Apollo said for you to stay put, mister. At least for three days," she said softly, dribbling more nectar into my mouth.

"H-How did I make it?" I asked. I WAS stabbed in the heart. Not that I'm ungrateful or anything.

"Apollo was about to hand the reins to his sister at Olympus. He was passing over the Garden when he saw fighting. He could tell from the energy radiating off that both were demigods. He was about to investigate when the perpetrator stabbed the other person and fled. The other person turned out to be you," said Aphrodite with a sad look on her face. She may not show it a lot, but it seems she really cares for her subjects. "He healed the wounds, but you almost lost all of your blood. That's why you're here, recovering. By the way, who stabbed you?"

"S-Sami Reinheart, Daughter of Athena and the new Champion of the Moon Goddess," I said, rage and betrayal evident in my tone. "She interfered in the mission and stopped them from getting back together by using a new type of arrow."

She motioned me to go on, dribbling a little more nectar into my maw. "She called it a Moon Arrow. It has a crescent shaped arrowhead, and it is like the Love Arrows, only the opposite."

"Well then, I guess you know what to do after you've healed." She said, examining Aphrodite's love

"What?" I asked.

"Destroy those arrows."
