3rd POV:
"So basically, I'm either going to master this thing inside me, which is ridiculous by the way, or I'm going to have my consciousness burned from my body and used as a puppet? Well at least that makes my whole decision on what to do easier," Percy joked.
"For the third time no, you will not be removed from your own body, just unable to control it. Although it would be funny to see you in a dress of Selene's choosing no doubt. Perhaps a purple spaghetti strap with silver trim and a pair of silver heels," Diana replied amused.
"I'm definitely going to sleep with one eye open for that comment," then Percy's mood took a turn for the worst when Artemis appeared in a flash of silver light. "What do you want? To take away my memories and lie to me again. I knew you didn't like me but why ruin my life then come to act like a mother to me. I could have handled it myself you know, memory block or not," he spat out venomously.
Artemis recoiled at the pure hatred in his voice. "We did it to protect you, Perseus. If you lost control you could have killed yourself or somebody else."
"Oh really?" he sarcastically said, "Cause I'm feeling quite a bit out of control now and your still alive," he said with the words dripping with power. "I wonder if you could take on your predecessor if she would come out to play," he left the threat hanging.
"You will not speak to me that way boy, I am a goddess and you are nothing compared to me." Artemis raged.
"So that's how it's going to be then? "he said, his voice sharply dropping to a whisper. "Then we'll see what you do without your weapon." Percy then focused on the burning feeling he was growing accustomed to and focused on getting as far away from Artemis as possible. Things didn't quite go as expected though when his aura suddenly lashed out and knocked her out of the chariot.
"Percy," Diana whispered quietly.
He then whipped around, and all anger left his face when he saw the sight in front of him. There Diana was, curled up in the corner sweating and seemingly struggling to breathe. His aura disappeared, and he immediately rushed over to her apologizing. "I didn't mean to hurt her, I thought that when I thought about getting away from Artemis it would just teleport me away like it did with Zoe. Are you o- "he was interrupted when she suddenly through her arms around him in a hug.
"I thought you gave her control. It was like you were somehow draining my power. I kept trying to use my powers, but you didn't even notice them hitting you. When you did… whatever that was to Artemis the same energy enveloped me and just kind of gave me the energy I used against you back," she then gave Percy a solid thump to the head, "and never use those powers again. They are too dangerous until we have some idea how to control them. I'll have to see what Minerva knows about this. I'm going to teleport you about a mile outside of the camp. When you get there tell Chiron you will be staying in cabin 8 and that you don't need the orientation. Zoe is already there waiting for you. Be safe and remember, don't use her powers." She then teleported Percy away, "Now it's time to see how much damage was done to dear Arty," then teleported away.
