"We can deal with that later, first you need to go to Apollo. Even I have no clue why he is taking it so hard. I knew he cared for you without even being around you, but not to this extent," she interrupted. Wow, I guess I will be taking my first trip to Olympus then. Uh oh.
"Hey, Arty? How am I supposed to go see Apollo if the King of Olympus that wants me dead is there?" I asked.
"When we get to Olympus I'm going to be masking your scent. No matter what happens you need to refrain from using your powers any. This will be difficult enough without any power surges from little miss titan in your body," she replied.
"Alright, I'll trust you then. To Apollo's we go," we then teleported away with the thoughts of the last conversation I had with Selene.
Now
Percy POV:
I've never been a very lucky person by any means. I mean from a young age I've had to live with a group of manhating teenagers. Let me repeat that, a young BOY living with huntresses who hate ALL male kind. Despite this I've still managed to keep going and not panic too much. The fates must really want that streak to end when Artemis flashed us in front of Apollo's palace and out walked the head honcho himself, Zeus.
"Father," Artemis greeted him curtly.
"Artemis," he nodded back, "may I ask what you are doing with a boy?" he asked. I'm trembling at this point, contemplating if I should try to make a run for it. I could always jump off the edge… scratch that idea. Then I would be in his domain with nowhere to go but down. Even if I did avoid being blasted to bits, I would just be a stain on the ground below.
"I found him harassing one of my hunters when I went to check on her at the camp. He's a descendent of Apollo so I figured I'd let him punish the boy appropriately." She lied smoothly.
"Hmm, well if it will get him out of this funk, go ahead. I just had to talk to him about missing the council meetings. He just doesn't seem to understand the word 'mandatory' that boy."
"I was hoping that seeing his grandson would help cheer him up too, Father. We really must be going then," he said.
"Farewell Artemis," Zeus said then flashed away, not giving me a second glance.
"I might have peed a little," I told Arty.
"Come on," she said trying to hide the smile on her face. We then went to his palaces door and as I went to knock Artemis just pushed the door open and strolled on in. I guess we are just barging in then. We walked in and I was immediately hit with the smell of some serious body odor and the saddest songs I've ever heard.
Hey guys and gals. It's your wild writer, Cloaked Protagonist, here. Just a little teaser while I'm working on the 5K special. We hit over 30 follows, WOOOOO. Now to business. Will the guest who left a ton of reviews on my story either make an account or sign in so I can address some of the comments you made? I would answer them here but there will be some spoilers and I don't want to ruin it for everybody.
QOTD: What is the monster that you would not want to fight the most.
