AN: Sorry for the short chapter and the late update.

Chapter 6: The new task of the maiden goddess

Aphrodite's POV

"I recommend Artemis for the task" once those words left Athena's lips I inwardly smirk I think I can finally make Artemis break her oath.

Silence fall upon the throne room, I knew everyone wasn't expecting that and I was really sure Artemis is now fuming inside. Seeing the expression of everyone makes me laugh inside my head.

Zeus was flabbergasted at Athena's proposition and so was Apollo, Poseidon, Hermes, Hera and Artemis and the other gods? Well they just didn't care.

Artemis was the first to break out of trance and said in her stuttering voice because of anger "B... but a... Athena! Haven't you heard what Aphrodite had said before I hate the male specie and I've been avoiding all contacts with them as far as possible, how can you expect me to train him let alone guard him.. be… besides I have other duties to attend to.. which were far more important than guarding a mare boy"

Athena nodded at her then said "I'm well aware of your hatred towards men Artemis, but you were the only one in this council who has the experience on handling, training demigods for hunting and battle.. "

Artemis cut Athena off "Handling female demigods yes but a boy, certainly not!"

Athena then glared at Artemis for interrupting her then said "All of us here are bound to the ancient laws, to not take demigods under our wing and train them to prevent us from brewing war against one another but of course you were an exception to the law being the goddess of the hunt"

Artemis then said "But all of the gods had already taken the oath that Perseus had asked as to!"

"The oath we had taken is for the big three to break the pack that they have sworn into not having any more demigod children because it never work anyway and it was also to require us to claim our demigod children at the age of 13 and to communicate with them" Athena said

Artemis then said "that's what I'm talking about the gods are now allowed to communicate with their children so why don't we just let Poseidon take his son with him"

Athena then said "Yes I get your point Artemis Poseidon can communicate with his son, but still the ancient laws forbids him to train the boy, and we need to teach the boy to defend himself"

Artemis lips opened and then closed her lips unable to think of a comeback against Athena's words so she settled herself by just glaring at the floor and biting her lower lip.

Then Hephaestus said "So if that's the case why are we having this discussion anyway because for what Athena had just said it's already clear that no one of us can take the boy under our wing besides Artemis"

All heads turn up to Zeus who's blushing like mad then he stuttered "I.. ah I.. ugh so now it was clear I.. ah my daughter Artemis you were now assigned to guard and train the boy council dismiss" then he immediately flashed himself out of the throne room

I gave one last look at Artemis then I teleported myself at my own palace then I murmured to myself "I really need to think up of a plan to make Artemis break her oath oh this is going to be fun…"

Third Person's POV

All of the gods just shrugged their shoulders and then flashed themselves out of the throne room except Artemis.

Artemis let out a sign then she turned up her gaze towards her lieutenant then said "well I guess I have no other choice but to obey our father, so.. Thalia would you like to accompany me?"

Thalia gave Artemis an encouraging smile then she nodded and said "Yes milady I would love to..."

Nico then said "If it was fine with you Lady Artemis I would also like to go…"

Artemis then looked at Nico at gave him a stiff nod then said "yes perhaps we could use some help on explain everything to Perseus"

Artemis then shrink down from her godly size to the size of a thirteen year old girl then she beckon Thalia and Nico to follow her which they gladly do so.

In the entire walk no one had said a word. Artemis facial expression was still unreadable, which Thalia and Nico took as a sign to just keep quiet.

After an hour of walk they had finally reach their destination which was Mrs Blofis apartment. Artemis softly knocked at the apartment's door.

After about 10 seconds the door had opened revealing the smiling face of Percy's mom which quickly turned into panic as she saw the girl in front of her.

Artemis offered Mrs Blofis an awkward smile then said "Mrs Blofis, I came here as my father had ordered me to teach and protect your son until he is fully capable of protecting his self again, I hope you understand we cannot leave Perseus unprotected, our only choice is to train him again and bring back his loyalty to Olympus or to kill him for he can be a great threat to Olympus if he turn his back on us…"

Mrs Blofis was stunned on the thought of her son dying because he had chosen to forget everything, to escape from all his problems, to live a life away from the troubles of being a son of a sea god, She didn't know what to do. And right now in front of her is a beautiful girl on an age of twelve or maybe thirteen but even though this girl looks so young her eyes were saying different. In the girls eyes you can see the past, the wars that the world had faced before, the long lost forest that the human race had destroyed and most of all you can see the moon that has always been so much beautiful as ever.

Mrs Blofis didn't know what to do, she didn't want the gods to just kill her son, but she can't just give him back to the care of the gods and their dangerous world either. So she said the only thing that had come to her mind "Percy just left this morning and hasn't come back home yet so maybe you could just come back some a…"

Mrs Blofis was cut off by a yell "Mom have you seen my sea green shirt?"

Mrs Blofis begun to pale she quickly look at the girl in front of her who just had a look that say's what were you saying again?

A second later Percy was already behind his mother peering at her shoulder then he smiled when he saw Thalia and Nico, his gaze is clearly missing Artemis form who was currently being block by Mrs Blofis form then he said "Hey there Thal's, Nico!" then he turned his attention back to his mother and said "Mom it's just Thalia and Nico why didn't you just invite them in?"

"Ah well per.. percy…" his mom stammered

Artemis then decided to let her presence be acknowledge by Percy by calling out his name "Perseus.."

When Percy heard her voice he turned his head towards Artemis direction.

When Percy saw Artemis his's form went still, his eyes widen and his mouth agape. Struggling to form his words Percy's stuttered "Y..yo..you You're t.. that g.. girl. T.. The girl fr… from m.. my d.. dream!"
