I liked the reviews and I haven't got any advice and I have very little ideas so far. Review with an advice attached to it would be very helpful! Thanks!

Enjoy!

I do not own PJO or the HoO series.

Chapter 8

Zoe POV

I was walking with Lady Artemis to her palace when we reached the door; she stopped and turned to me. Her eyes were filled with sadness and disappointment? "Zoe Nightshade." Her voice lost all its softness which confused me.

"Yes Lady Artemis?" I asked firmly.

"You love Perseus don't you?" She said and I was wondering why she asked me this. I'm pretty sure that I'm not part of the Hunt. "Yes I do. He loves me and I love him back. I said. I saw a flash of hurt and her emotions went from disappointed to confuse than to anger. "Really?" she gritted her teeth.

"Yes really. You love him don't you? I can understand that because he's practically the only acceptable man you found in millennia. But he belongs to me and I belong to him. "I said cautiously and Artemis looked shocked then she looked tired. "We'll talk later. You can sleep in the guest room." She opened the door and walked to her room leaving me thinking about her behavior.

3rd POV

Percy was in the training room shooting targets with his bow. After a few minutes of shooting he moved to the moving automations created by Hephaestus himself with his sword drawn. He started slashing at their legs then rolled away and jumping forward to cut the heads off. He was wearing blue jeans and a ripped green shirt.

He took a bottle of water and splashed himself with it as the water flowed against his built body he felt his strength restored. At the training entrance was Percy's half-brother, Mark that walked in and challenged Percy to a fight. "Alright then. Let's just finish this little rival of yours." Percy sighed. A crowd formed as Percy and Mark took their positions.

"Everything is allowed to be used but no killing please. Let the battle begin!" Chiron said.

Percy POV

I decided to stick with defense and tire him out. He charged at me and I saw his footing was wrong and he had a lot of open spaces. I sidestepped and tripped him, Riptide was still in my pocket and I waited for the right time to use it.

"Mark is this all you have? This is really a disappointment." I taunted which worked on him as his face was red with anger. "I'll win this fight!" he let out a battle cry. I jumped as he missed and I wrenched the sword out of his hand. Once I had his sword I tossed it away and punched him in the nose. He stumbled and the crowd was silent that I haven't had any sort of weapon or used.

My half-brother sent a tidal wave at me and I pulled out Riptide. I charged and slashed through the wave. As Mark made an ice sword and swing at me. Just in time I crouched and used one of my legs to trip him.

3rd POV

Percy's blade was at Mark's throat "Yield." Percy's voice was soft. Mark kneeled and Percy walked away from the stunned crowd. His father Poseidon appeared before him and asked for his forgiveness. "Dad, I forgive you but it doesn't mean I trust you." Percy said as his father hugged him and nodded in understanding and flashed away.

Percy started packing things until Zoe came. "Hello, how is my huntress doing?" he pecked on Zoe's lips and she smiled. "I'm doing fine. Artemis wanted me to tell you that there was a ship called the Argo II waiting for our arrival." Zoe informed him.

"Wait… Why?" Percy looked confused. "You fell asleep and I saw your plans retrieving some sort of artifact before the Precursors get it. So I informed the gods about this to help you. We need their help for your plan whatever it is." Zoe said. Percy nodded and got up. "Well? Where's the ship?"

"Camp Half-Blood." Zoe replied as Percy slung his bag over his shoulder and took Zoe's hand to vapor travel there.

Percy POV

Zoe and I arrived on the Camp's hill and started walking down. I could see the big ship that was once used in the Giant War, the Argo II. The ship was smacked in the center where the cabins surround it. I saw campers carrying things and walking in the ship. But of course the Argo II wasn't the only ship since after the Giant War; we gained a lot of resources from the monsters.

There was a golden warship ascending to the sky from the forest. Zoe looked impressed on how we went from ground transport to air. In the corner of my eye I could see Artemis gathering her hunters near the Argo II, we both locked eyes for a second and looked away. "Were going on the Argo II?" I said and as soon as I said it, I felt stupid. Zoe laughed at my face. "Shut up…" I blushed. She glared me and I stuck my tongue out. Zoe rolled her eyes at my childish act.

We arrived at the Argo II and were greeted by Leo. "Hey guys! Long time no see Percy!" He looked at Zoë "And you are?" he asked very seductively which I felt anger in me. "Zoe Nightshade. Former Lieutenant of Artemis." She said coldly. I chuckled at Leo's face who had fear in his eyes but replaced it with a smile. "Well Percy. It's good to have you back. You know where your room is." He walked to the bridge quickly. I can't blame him since he tried to flirt with a former hunter.

I started walking in the hall as Zoe followed me. A door that looked familiar appeared and I opened it. "I guess this is our room." I said tossing my bag on the white bed. "I'm tired. Let's take a break." She lied on the bed. "I'll be in the shower." I said softly and walked in the shower room.

Zoe POV

I heard the water turn off and saw Percy in a towel walking out. I blushed at the sight of his glistening body and the green eyes I was absorbed in. He chuckled at my expression and I glared at him. "If you won't mind, would you look away as I change?" he asked me softly. I nodded and turned that my back was facing him. After a few minutes he said he was done.

He wore a silver shirt and blue jeans. His black jet hair was messy as usual and his sea green eyes sparkled.

"Hello? Earth to Zoe? Or should I say ship to Zoë?" he waved his hand in front of my face which snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah, I'm here." I grumbled as he chuckled at my expression. I glared at him playfully as he put his arm around my waist pulling me to his strong chest. He looked tired and fell asleep on the bed. "Good night, my huntress." He mumbled. I rolled my eyes and I decided to take a nap today. "Good night to you, Perseus." I kissed on his forehead and snuggled closer to him.

I woke up and found myself on Percy's chest. I tried to get up and not wake him up unfortunately for me he woke up. I stared in those sea green eyes of his as he stared in mine. After a while he gulped and broke our 'staring' event and blushed. "Good morning, my huntress." He said while grinning. I smiled back at him "Come on Kelp Head. It's time for breakfast." I yanked him out of the bed and giggled at him. Boys these days I thought. "Alright I'm up, let me get dressed." He whined. I smacked his arm as he yowled in pain and I had a satisfied smile.

Once he was done changing he led me to the dining pavilion and I saw a couple of Roman and Greek campers' at large tables. A few campers came to Percy with the usual 'welcome back Perce', 'It's good to have you back man!' kind of things. We saw at the farthest table away from the crowd. He sat down and started taking out a folded map from his pocket. He laid it across the table and started planning our route.

"Where we heading?" I asked him as he drew a new location. He looked up with a grim face and I got worried. "Ancient Greece. The battlefield where we finished off Porphyrion." He said and went back to his map planning things which I found strangely. What was that Daughter of Athena's name? Annabeth right, wasn't she supposed to plan this?

"She knows nothing about the Precursors. Much less the gods." He said as if he was reading my thoughts.

"This artifact I dreamed about and if my dream is right. We are in a serious situation." His face darkened.
