I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians and the Heroes of Olympus

Chapter 5: secrets revealed

Artemis POV

To be honest I never expected something like this could possibly happen. I was just curious it all started when Thalia asked me if she could visit her friend, and every time I asked why she needed to visit her friend she always answers me with an apologetic face and then she will say that her friend is sick and he needs his friends right now, when I heard her say the word 'he' I narrowed my eyes at her which didn't go unnoticed to her so she quickly shook her head raising her hands indicating that she was innocent then she will say "but you don't have to worry my lady I'm not breaking my vow". I didn't press on the issue anymore so I nodded and gave her my permission.

Then it begun to be our routine every week she will ask my permission and I always ask the same questions then finally gave in and allow her to visit her friend.

It's not like I didn't trust my lieutenant but it's just too suspicious every week she would visit her sick friend who happens to be a boy and seriously wasn't he healed yet I mean it's already been months since her friend caught some sickness.

So as the days passes by it become infuriating to me so I decided to investigate or should I say follow Thalia every time she would visit him.

When I started to follow Thalia, I had found out that she was constanly visiting Percy Jackson the son of Poseidon and the Hero of Olympus together with the boy name Nico and he seems to be just fine. In my own opinion he seems healthy but I decided not to judge Thalia yet so I tried to investigate more.

This routine continues I follow them and they will go to some places talk with each other but in this routine I had noticed that Thalia and the boy Nico were the ones who always talks and Percy will just listen asking questions from time to time.

Then I decided that before I asked Thalia for her explanation and what really was happening I decided to visit a certain demigod in his dream.

And I had finally found out that the hero of Olympus had lost his memories, saying he got drowned in the sea which was really funny by the way because for a son of Poseidon it was almost impossible for him to be drowned except if the water was full of hatred or if the water came from one of the rivers on the underworld.

After my talk with the hero of Olympus I then decided to ask Thalia what really happened.

So I came out of my tent and asked one of my hunters to call Thalia. After a minute or two, Thalia then showed up and then I ask her to follow me to my tent and after dismissing my other hunters leaving me alone with Thalia I then decided to just ask the question that was bothering me the whole time.

"What really happened to Percy Jackson and do not lie to me Thalia. I already know that he is the friend that you had always asked to visit and the fact that he had lost his memories.. What I really wanted to know is how and why did he lost his memories"

Thalia then said "My lady… I wasn't supposed to tell anyone about it.. I had promise Mrs. Blofis that I won't.. and.. "

I sighed and pinch the bridge of my nose then said "Thalia.. you do realize that this is a very grave matter. Sooner or later the gods would wonder what happen to him and so were his other friends in camp half-blood they would look for him especially your best friend and his girlfriend the daughter of Athena"

"But…" Thalia was about to say something but I interrupted her, I'm not in any mood to listen to her excuses because this might get her into trouble.

"you do realize that if the gods discovered that you had known from the very beginning that the hero of Olympus had lost his memories and you never informed them, that they might punish you or worst Poseidon might curse you, you and I both know that Percy is his favorite son"

Thalia then said "Mrs. Blofis ask me not to tell the gods about it. She said that this is a new chance for Percy to.. to live the life that he yearns for a long time. And I owe it to him we all owe it to him that's why I.. I don't want to tell anyone about it"

"I agree that we all owe Percy a lot but have you ever thought of his own safety. He doesn't remember anything, If any of his enemies knew the fact that Percy had lost his memories they might take advantage of it. It will be alright if they would just kill him but what if they tortured him or worst use him against us, against Olympus"

Thalia who was currently facing onto her left side biting her lower lip, a bead of sweat is forming on her forehead then she had turned her head and fixed her gaze on me "We.. Nico had found Percy lying on the bank of the river of Lethe soaked by the rivers black water.. and then he iris message me and ask for my help, he just like me didn't know what to do so we brought Percy back to his mom. Mrs. Blofis ask us to keep it a secret so we didn't inform the gods about it"

My eyes had widened in shock they had found Percy at the bank of river of Lethe. Now it made all sense on how he lost his memories but there's something odd in here what is he doing in the underworld and most of all why is he soaked by the river's water was his Poseidon's powers not working on the river of Lethe or did he do that on his own will my mind is getting jumbled on the possibilities but maybe Thalia can answer this question of mine so I decided to ask her "Why is he in the underworld, what is he doing there in the first place?"

Thalia frowned then she said "We didn't know either but one thing is for sure Percy.. he wanted this.."

I raised a brow at what Thalia had said and it seems like she understand my unsaid question so she answered "Before the titan war Percy, Nico and I had a quest in the underworld. Percy had fallen in the river of Lethe with the Titan Iapetus (I'm sorry I'm not sure if that's the name or what my memories are all mess up by the way so just correct me if I am wrong about the name so I will just change it) he didn't lost his memories back then but the Titan, Iapetus did"

Well that makes sense but what would cause him to bathe in the river to lose his memories.

"Do you have any idea on why would he do such a thing?"

Thalia was hesitating at first but she still answered my question "When Nico had asked for my help I had noticed that Percy looks so broken, so fragile, he look so weak and when I told Nico about it he said Percy became like that since he and Annabeth had broken up. Into what reason? we didn't know"

I nodded my head then I said "We need to inform the council about this Thalia specially Poseidon" Thalia paled then I patted her shoulder reassuring her that everything would be alright as long as she tell the whole story to the council.

After my conversation with Thalia, I had called all the hunters to tell them that I had something to do on Olympus and Thalia was coming with me so I had asked Phobe to be the one in-charge of the hunt while Thalia and I were gone after that Thalia and I had prepared for our trip to Olympus.

When everything was ready, Thalia and I began to walk down the road and looked for a ride to get to Olympus.

(I do not live at New York so I didn't know the details of the ride so I'll just skip it)

When we arrived at Olympus Thalia and I both admired the city, the architect of Olympus really did put a lot of effort in renovating and designing the Olympus.

We made our way into the Throne room where my father and uncle are having an argument about something I don't know but I didn't try to bother myself into it because they always did that so what's new?

I then decided to let my presence known to them by calling my father "Father.. " my father Zeus then gaze at me lifting a hand indicating to my uncle that their argument will continue later he then said "What do you need Artemis?"

"We had some news that you and Poseidon should know"

My father nodded and then said "Very well let us hear it"

I had explained everything to them and then let Thalia answered the questions and as I had expected Poseidon looked astonished about the news and my father is thinking very hard about the situation then finally he had called all the members of the Olympian council even Hades and then he also summoned the boy named Nico which was also asked by the council to tell the story about Percy which he grudgingly oblige.

When everything has been explained my father then asked the council "So does anyone had any suggestion on what sould we do to Percy Jackson?"

Athena then said "Its' clear that he might be a threat to Olympus, Percy Jackson was a very powerful demigod and he can be very dangerous to the Olympus itself especially now that he had lost his memories and so was his loyalty to us"

Ares then said "Then let's just kill the boy. Done problem solve end of discussion"

Poseidon gazed at Ares with fury in his eyes we can feel the uneasiness of the sea and the shaking of the ground then he growled "We will not kill my son, and if you ever lay a finger at my boy I'll make sure that all you will pay greatly Ares"

Ares eyes blazed with fire like he was excited into taking this challenge then suddenly Hermes interrupted them "We cannot kill him just because he had lost his memories it doesn't mean that he had lost his loyalty to us Athena and besides the boy had helped us greatly in the previous two wars and now Ares, you were suggesting in to killing him is that how were going to repay the boy we owe our lives in?"

Athena's eyes flare then she said "I'm only telling the facts Hermes the boy is a threat"

Then my brother intervenes "And to which fault was that?" Athena glared at Apollo then said "Are you saying that it was my daughters fault?"

Apollo then shrugged his shoulders and said in a mocking tone "I'm only stating the fact Athena" Athena then rose from her throne. Her sphere is appearing into her hand ready to attack my brother when suddenly the grape vines started to wrapped around her pulling he back to her throne then Dionysus said "Now.. now.. we get your point Athena but I'm also afraid that Apollo also got a point in this. I hate to admit it but base on what we had heard from this two demigod was that it all started when Annabelle had left Peter so basically it was also your daughters fault but now Apollo the issue here is what should we do to Peter Johnson and not whose fault it is"

Ares then said to Dionysus "Well you talk as if you were so intelligent old drunk" Dionysus glared at him then said "Well I might not be as smart as Athena but I am certainly more intelligent than you petty war god"

Ares was now growling in anger when fathers suddenly yelled "SILENCE!" everyone silenced themselves then Father said "Stop bickering like Childs.. So… back to the topic does anyone of you have any other suggestion?"

Then aunt Hestia suddenly said "May I suggest brother?" everyone was surprised that aunt Hestia suddenly participated in the meeting but father allowed her to and motioned her to continue "Why don't we just send him again to Camp half-blood for him to meet his old friends and tell him the stories about himself on who he really is"

Then Hades said "That was a good suggestion sister but placing him on the camp isn't a good idea because Annabeth is also going in camp half-blood and it's clear that the boy wanted to forget about her and start a new life we should put him into a different place"

Then Poseidon said "then I'll take him with me to my palace" then Hera said "No we can't allow that it's against the ancient laws" we all look at her as if she was insane because after the second giant war we already decided to allow the gods to communicate with their children to let them know that we had appreciated their help and recognized their existence. Then Hera quickly added "eh.. and besides your wife would and son would not be pleased by that"

Then Aphrodite suddenly said "Then why don't we just assign someone in this council to guard him and train him at the same time?" well when everyone was shocked when aunt Hestia suggested before it was nothing compared to our shock right now that Aphrodite is the one who is suggesting.

She gave everyone an annoyed look then said "What! It's a good idea isn't it? It's like killing two birds with one stone. We can help him protect himself at the same time we can regain his loyalty to us"

Father nodded "Very well all in favor on Aphrodite's suggestion" all of us raised our hands in agreement then father said "Now the question is who will be one to train him?"

Aphrodite then smirk "Well we certainly can't ask Ares and Athena to do it because they both hate Percy and we can't Also ask Hermes and Dionysius because they were busy on their own duties and so was the big three and for Apollo he can't do that because he was too lazy to do it, Artemis hates men, Hera, Demeter, Hestia can't fight and Hephaestus is busy with his workshop, so.. The best choice is me"

Poseidon paled at this then said "No certainly not you"

Athena then said "You just said that Hera, Demeter and Hestia can't fight but when you consider it their powers can be used into a battle and why should it be you Aphrodite you're the love goddess of pete's sake and I already know you would just use him for your own entertainment or should I say pleasure"

Aphrodite pouted "Well then are you willing to train the boy?"

Athena then said "Hell no! I will not train him but I can suggest someone to do the task"

Zeus then asked "Well who is it Athena?"

Athena then fixed her gazed on me then she said "I recommend Artemis for the task"
