Third Person Point of View

The sun was setting in the barren wastelands of Peaky Meadows. It's few tall trees proving to be the only shelter in sight. Though it looked peaceful enough, it was two figures that met up under a tree. A meeting that was a surprise to both of them, yet it was necessary. The two figures stood there, in over sized robes that covered their faces. They awaited for a third person, not speaking a word to each other.

Eventually a third person did come. But he was not wearing a robe. He did not need to, as he was covered in a shadow. When he reached the other two people, he was the first to speak. There were no introductions, no attempts for chit chat. He went straight to the point.

"His name has been spoken"

"Impossible," The other two said at the same time.

"How do you know of this? Can you confirm that his name has been specifically said?" The second figure said. He talked as if he was used to having lots of power, as if he was once in charge of the now fallen Olympian Council.

"I have not heard his name directly, nor do I plan to. But there have been rum-"

"You would call us here for something based on rumors?! Do you have any idea how much trouble we could be if anyone saw us in the same place?!" The second shouted at the third.

"The rumors suggest that he is coming back. There is hope along all the mortals… and the others."

Meanwhile, the 1st figure, just stood there. It looked as if he was trying very hard not to move, like it would cause an earthquake if he did move. But he finally speak, "Brothers. It is impossible that he is coming back. Or that the rumors are talking about him!."

"But what if,-" The third was cut off by the first. Clearly the first figure was getting upset.

"We all watched him… leave. We then spent hundreds of years erasing him from history. Everything around us went back thousands of years. Billions of mortals died! Thousands of Immortals faded! We broke the Olympian era of the gods ended! Just so we could remove this person from history, and everyone's mind! Nobody remembers him! He is gone! Let's say he is still alive, let's say people still remember, have you forgotten where is he trapped? Nobody gets out of there that fast. Nobody." The first said in a spout.

"What if he does come back? When will we do then?" the second asked.

"The first looked into the second's eyes, sea green to sky blue, "Then, we shall get what we deserve." With that, he vanished into a bubble of water which quickly disappeared.

The other two did not speak for a long time. Finally, the one in the shadows spoke, "Do you think that she…?"

"No. She wouldn't." The one in the robe replied. He then continued, "We must prepare. If our Father came back, I have no doubts that this person will be able to.

"I shall talk to her regardless then." The shadowed man said.

"She will kill you on sight."

"She can try."

Dis is a Line Break. Don't mind me. Or do mind me. Y'know what. Why are you even reading me? Wow! At least ask me out first! Jeez.

Thalia Point of View

I gotta admit. I've had better days, "Thalia! Oi Thalia! wake up!" It was the first thing I heard in the morning. No doubt coming from one of the new hunters that Lady Artemis let into the hunt. I wonder what she wanted, it was still dark outside!

Thinking it was just something stupid like I need to pee, I decided to stay in bed, "What is is?" I halfheartedly asked.

"There's some old man at the camp's gate! Lady Artemis told me to wake you up as soon as possible!" God damn, that's the problem with having so many new hunters. Until they were trained it was always me who had to wake up and do the dirty work. A demigod needs her sleep! Lady Artemis couldn't do anything either! All she did was stay in her tent. I don't even know what she does in there! Nobody has ever actually been inside. Or seen her in years! Our 'camp' has turned into a goddamn village.

I reluctantly got out of bed, wishing that I didn't have to deal with this right now. What would an old man want anyway? Does he not know that no male leaves this camp? Everyone was asleep and I couldn't find the hunter that woke me up. When I finally reached the gate, I recognized the man instantly. I drew my bow and pointed it straight at him through one of the many holes in the gate.

"What do you want?" I asked in a not so polite manner.

"I wish to speak to my nephew." He said calmly, as if he disregarded me as a threat a long time ago.

"Which one?" I spat back at him.

"Both of you."

"Clair!" I called, now remembering the hunter who had woken me up, "Go call Lady Artemis!"

"What do I say?" Clair popped up, obviously hiding right behind a trash can, "You know she won't come if I just call her."

"Tell her that my Uncle is here to see me." Clair, not knowing that I was a daughter of Zeus, was very confused by this demand. But nevertheless, she ran up the hill towards Lady Artemis's tent.

"So, how have you been?" My uncle, Hades asked me. Still standing at the tip of my bow behind the gate.

"Why do you care?" I didn't need to be friendly with him. Screw him! He was a filthy male!

"I'm just trying to make conversation here!" He replied, putting his hands up over his head, dropping the cane he was using to stand up.

An idea popped into my head, one that had been bothering me for a while,"Can you tell me about my dad? Lady Artemis wouldn't tell me anything and I've never seen him before."

For the first time, I saw a glint of emotion in Hades's face, was it... surprise? "Wait, you don't remember him?"

"No."

"As, well I suppose not." He replied, taking a deep breath.

I was about to ask him what he meant but was cut off with the sound of someone walking up behind me. It wasn't one of the other hunters because the sound was so faint. I snapped my head back to make sure what I was thinking was right, indeed it was. Lady Artemis was walking up behind me. I had no seen her in years so I did not know how to act. Am I supposed to hug her? Bow? She doesn't even look the powerful. In a old lady's form, shadows under her eyes as if she has had trouble sleeping. She clearly wasn't prepared to fight as she wasn't wearing any shoes and left her weapons in her tent.

"Leave us." Artemis said when she reached the gate. Clair, who was walking behind her. Ran as fast as she could to her tent. Clearly spooked and ready to brag about seeing Lady Artemis. When I started walking away she spoke again, "Thalia. Stay. You have a right to know about some of this information, have you forgotten that you are my lieutenant?"

"Oh really? Lieutenant? Where have you been the past 3 years? Hidden away in the tent. What jobs did I have as a Lieutenant? I should be goddamn leader of this Hunt. It is I who makes sure everyone is fed at the end of the day. They all the girls are properly trained and trust each other. What do you do? Bark orders at poor Clair once in awhile. That's it!"

The second I finished my last word, Lady Artemis changed her form. She was no much younger. Old than me, maybe late 20's. "Thalia," she said, "That's not fai-"

"Hate to cut in, ladies. But we must talk." Hades said from behind the gate. I had forgotten about him and the armed bow I was holding in his face.

"Yes Hades, why are you here? You have some nerve coming here after what you did."

"After what I did? Have you forgotten that it is you who had started all of this!" Hades said. I could tell he was making sure not to raise his voice. He did not want to get noticed by anyone else.

I was so confused, the right thing to do would be to keep my mouth shut and let the immortals talk. But screw them. They haven't ever helped me. "What the hell are you talking about?" I asked.

They both shut up for a short while. Until Artemis decided to open the gate. She did in a fluid movement. Quickly running over to the lever, pulling it and then running right back to where she was. There was nothing separating Hades from me now. And if Hades and Artemis decided to fight, I would be right in the middle of it all.

"Thalia my dear, I am here to talk about your demigod cousin." Hades said, clenching his jaw. I looked over at Artemis to check if she was as surprised as me. She wasn't.

"I don't have a cousin…. Right?"
