3rdPOV:

"Ugh," Artemis groaned, "what happened?"

"I believe a 12-year-old kicked your ass," Diana replied. "I kinda wish that I had a camera so you could see your expression as you flew off the chariot. It was pretty hilarious."

"Remind me to never get on his bad side"

"I think the black eye and crater you call a face is a good enough reminder, don't you?"

"Just help me back to the palace and get me some nectar."

Percy POV:

"Why couldn't she have just flashed me into the camp like a normal person," I complained to nobody in particular.

"Where's the fun in that, grouchy pants?" said a vaguely familiar voice inside my head.

"AHHH, GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" I screamed not expecting anyone to answer. "Who are you anyway?"

"It's me silly, the titan in your head that's going to take over your body one day," the voice said.

"Ugh Diana never told me a name. So, what should I call you, Bobby?" I replied sarcastically even though I was internally panicking trying to figure out what to do.

"There's no need to panic, you do know I can feel all your emotions, right? I am inside of your head. But enough of that, I am Selene, Titan of the moon. Although that's a loose title. I'm more of an embodiment of it." The newly dubbed Selene replied.

"So, don't take this the wrong way, but why are you acting so casual and dare I say, nice to me? Don't you want to eventually destroy my body, so you can return to your own?" I asked.

"It's a lot more complicated than that, young Perseus. I'm not simply trying to return from the pit, I'm trying to return from the realm of the faded. This is where deities go when they don't have enough worship and do not have the power to sustain a physical body by themselves. I don't necessarily have to take over your body, that would be a major inconvenience to us both as it would leave me vulnerable for a few days as I recover from the purging of your godly blood. What I need is a new vessel that can withstand my full power, which you can't at this point. If I did this, you would get to keep your body and we could go our separate ways. It could be another titan, goddess, or even a particularly strong magical weapon. I would prefer one of the formers though because I am not meant for hacking and slashing, Although, it would be interesting to see if I would use my own power, or siphon it off the wielder. Anyway, I'm not trying to kill you. If a certain goddess or two needs to think that though, who am I to stop them." She elaborated.

"Why did you choose me then If you knew that I would never be able to control it fully?" I asked.

"There is a war coming young one," she said, her tone turning dark much quicker than before, "Unfortunately you are in the middle of it. I have defied the fates enough denying my fate, but you might be able to hear it from Chiron or the oracle at camp. Speaking of camp, it's just past the next hill. We will talk again but go, the old horse is waiting on you and then you have to deal with Zoe," she said with what I imagine would be an evil smirk on her face.

"Hello there young one, my name is Chiron. May I ask how you found this place by yourself?" he asked.

"There was a voice inside my head that was leading me here the entire time," I quickly told the half-truth, "After my father…. left, it told me to come here. I woke up with this and a backpack of supplies and I've been avoiding the monsters since." I then showed him my silver xiphos, deciding against using my other blade in case that he would recognize it.

"What do you know about Greek mythology young one? And what is your name." Chiron asked seemingly unconvinced.

"Enough that if you stab a cyclops in the eye that it explodes into gold dust. Plus, my dad taught it at a school. He never told me why he hammered it into my brain so hard, but I guess I know now," my voice dripping with sadness. "And my name is Percy. I…. can't seem to remember my last name for some reason," another lie, but he doesn't need to know everything just yet.

"Well I'll just go fetch another camper to give you the tour then, just wait right here and some body will come to show you around." He then trotted away. Not soon after a girl who didn't look much older than me walked up. She had long black hair and was wearing some black skinny jeans and a leather jacket with a green day t-shirt underneath.

"What's up short stuff?" she said, "My name is Thalia."

AND SCENE. So things are about to take a major turn from the books now. It is an AU for a reason. Here's some things to think on. "Is Selene being truthful? Why is Thalia here? Will Percy ever have McDonalds?" The world may never know... unless it's answered in the next chapter.

I am looking for a beta so if your interested, come hit me up.

QOTD: What PJO character would you bring with you to fight Artemis and Zoe? Percy might need your help. ;)

Responding to reviews from the last Chapter:

Death Fury- thanks for the advice. Probably gonna do 1.5Kish chapters so I don't burn myself out.

williamjamsephillips- You'll just have to wait and see, this is not gonna be like any story you've read before. And thanks for the compliment.
