Third Person Point of View
Artemis had never seen Thalia have such a surprised expression, "My brother is dead!" Thalia shouted. With this she stormed away out of the clearing.
Artemis was about to chase her when Percy interrupted her, "Wait." It was a simple command with no magic used, Artemis could've ignored it. She should've ignored it.
Artemis turned back, to look at Percy, "What?" She asked, curiosity clear in her voice.
"Well, we need to talk."
"About?"
"The arrows you shot me with."
Artemis tilted her head, she knew that she had to go chase Thalia to make sure she doesn't get in trouble. But Artemis also wanted to hear what Percy had to say about the arrow. They had to talk about it eventually.
"Okay," Artemis said, carefully sitting down onto the rock again, "You've got my attention"
Percy slowly scratched his neck, after a few moments an arrow scars appeared, "I need to know who gave you the arrow" He said in a stern voice.
"I made it myself."
"Bullshit.
Percy got up and walked over to Artemis, he sat down on a rock that was across from her, "I will tell you where your mother is, if you tell me who gave you that arrow."
"Why the hell would I want to know where my mother is?"
"Well don't you know?" Percy said this with a conceited grin, Artemis had been cornered.
"Know what?" She asked
"About your little sister!" Percy replied, "Okay, I told you something important. Now you need to tell me who gave you that arrow" His voice getting serious again
"No."
"Excuse me?"
"You need to tell me a little bit more."
"Okay…" Percy's voice was now getting bored. He expected this conversation to end log ago.
"Why aren't you soul bound to me?" Artemis asked
Percy's eyes flashed a Sea Green, like they once were. Though it was only for a second, Artemis still noticed. "Oh… This is what you want to know about." When Artemis did not say anything, Percy went on, "Well, I guess the simple explanation was that you missed."
"And the long one?"
"I still am soul bound to you." He said slowly, "Artemis?" He asked in a different tone that Artemis did not recognize.
"Yeah?" She was not expecting him to ask her a question.
"Why did you shoot me?" Artemis recognized the tone after a few moments, it was hurt.
She was about to reply when the trees around them started to burn in a blazing hot fire. "Get down!" Percy shouted,getting up and pushing Artemis off the rock that was sitting on and onto the ground.
Percy then stood up and pulled his hand out. In it appeared a white sword that was tainted blue on the edges. His camp half blood clothes disappeared and replacing it came a full set of white and light blue armor. Percy smashed his sword into the ground in front of him, and a explosion of energy escaped enveloping everything in a massive dome. It quickly expanded and making its way to the fire. As soon the the blazing threes got inside the dome, the fire extinguished. Once all the fire had gone, the orbe stopped expanding and started to shrink towards the sword at the same rate that it was expanding in.
"Show yourself!" Percy shouted. A scared Thalia ran out of the now naked trees towards Artemis. When she finally reached Artemis she broke down into a bunch of tears. Percy noticed, but did not look. His eyes were fixed on the burned trees for anything that would move.
Boom
Boom
Boom
The sound was faint at first, but it quickly got louder and faster. Percy knew what it was, and was prepared for a fight. But Thalia and Artemis didn't know what it was, and in were no way prepared for a fight. Percy didn't know if he could protect them.
He quickly raised his hand, and swiped it towards the sun, Sending a line of green energy towards it, Please let Zoe get the message in time, He thought to himself.
Soon, figures wearing red and silver figures were seen in the now dry forest. Percy stood there, waiting for their leader to show himself.
The figures stopped moving. Artemis looked around only to noticed that they were surrounded. When she looked back at Percy, there was a blonde boy wearing roman armor standing in front of Percy. She looked closed and saw that that the boy's face looked a lot like Thalia! "Jason" She whispered to herself, remembering PErcy say that Thalia's brother was alive.
"Hello, Percy." Jason said, holding his sword at his waist.
"Jason." Percy's sword was still stuck in the ground.
"Are you ready to discuss your terms of defeat?" Jason asked.
"No."
"Percy, Percy, Percy… or shall I call you Xaoses? As your armies once did?" Percy stood silently as Jason continued talking, "Do remember? The people you left to die down in Tartarus?"
Jason reached his hand to grab Percy's shoulder in mock empathy, but was forced to pull his hand back as as Percy's armor shocked his hand. "Don't touch me." Percy said firmly.
"God dammit Percy. Why do you still think you have a chance? I stormed your castle down in Tartarus, I killed your entire royal guard one by one. Just surrender and save many lives!"
Percy only replied with an insult, "Did anyone ever tell you that your sister was way more interesting than you? Well I guess, Thalia isn't crazy."
"I should kill you right here."
"You can't"
"Hah, are you sure about that?" Jason said with a smirk
Percy took out a dagger and threw it into the ground between him and Jason, "I propose a fight. Your best champion versus my newest one."
"What the hell will that prove?" Jason asked.
"A deal."
"Oh! I'm all ears!"
"The leader of the champion who loses, has to cut off his tongue."
"Oh shit! I like this!" Jason said, with a chuckle, "You can pick your champion first."
Percy slowly nodded, "For my champion, I pick my newest and least experienced soldier!" Percy paused for a moment, looked at Artemis and Thalia, and then continued, "Clair! Huntress of Artemis!" When Percy finished saying this, a green portal opened up behind him with Zoe and Clair walking out of it. They both stood there silently.
Jason smiled, as a single red and silver figure emerged from the trees. When the figure finally reached everyone else, Jason spoke, "Champion! Take of your helmet and reveal your identity." He said in a commanding tone.
The person took off their helmet and revealed grey eyes with long blonde hair. Everyone but Clair recognized how it was, Artemis, Thalia and Zoe gasped, but Percy stood still.
"I am Annabeth chase! Champion of Rome and I will slay anyone who dares stand up against me!"
