For the past three hours the monsters and the titan tried to get me to feel pain by poking me with their swords. The only thing I felt, was being annoyed by idiotic monsters. "You'll never hurt me, you'll never win!" I yelled at Atlas. After I said that, he laughed in my face. Saying I will hold the sky for eternity.

I will get out of this. I just have to shadow travel…But I can't leave Artemis's side, I promised Zoe I would help her…But we aren't exactly friends. So this promise is one sided. I really don't want to leave her side, but I will have to.

"Listen to me Wyatt…You have enough power to go camp and tell my hunters and Chiron about this…That is the only way we will get out of this." Artemis said.

"You know I don't want to…But I'll go…I'll come back and save you. I promise." I said to her. At the entrance two monsters passed by and heard us. They came forward and got ready to attack. "Fools…You think you can take me on by yourselves?" I asked. They hesitated, I guess they listened to Luke about my powers.

I felt the weight of the sky shift, it was no longer being held by me and Artemis. Artemis now held the weight of the sky by herself. I instantly shot forward at blinding speed, the two monster in front of us, were now disintegrated. And sent back down to Tartarus. I turned around and looked at Artemis, she nodded, "Go. Warn the others Wyatt."

I smiled, "I'll be back soon."

I shadow traveled to camp half-blood. It was getting close to morning, the sun was raising. I looked around the camp. I can't wait for them to wake up. I started running to the big house when suddenly my legs stopped working. Not now…I laid in the snow, no one to help me. What should I do now? I fell asleep in the snow, the dream that followed made me regret leaving Artemis. "Where is he!" atlas shouted at Artemis, she spit in his face, "You're too late, he is already with my hunters. By winter solstices I shall be free." She promised Atlas, he growled, "When they get here, I'll rip them to pieces!"

I woke with a start, someone was shaking me. "Wyatt! Wake up!" My eyes slowly opened up. My vision was blurry, I couldn't see who it was. "What are you doing sleeping out here in the cold!?" The voice sounded familiar. The weight of the sky is no joke…I was still too weak to get up.

"Wyatt!" She shouted, a couple people ran up to us, "What happened?" They asked. And soon I was surrounded by a lot of campers. My vision was still blurry, everyone around me…I couldn't tell who they were.

Soon after, a camper came back with Chiron, A tall figure stood over me, "Chiron…" I managed. "Shh…Rest, my boy." He told me. I felt a pair of hands grab me. I guess whoever that was, put me on Chiron's back. Chiron took me to the big house. I spent one day with Artemis and already I'm back at camp. That's kind of useless.

I slept for a couple of hours and finally woke up. When my eyes opened, in front of me was Zoe Nightshade, Percy Jackson and Chiron.

"Hey…Why the long faces?" I asked.

Percy perked up, "Wyatt! What happened?" He asked, he had a look of concern, they all did. "Where is Artemis?" Zoe demanded, I lowered my head, "I tried my best, but she sent me back when we were both captured, and forced to hold the sky. I'm sorry Zoe." I told her. "My dream was right…" She said quietly, "You see? I have to go find her!" Zoe told Chiron. Chiron regarded her with a sad look, "As I told you before, after capture the flag, you will consult the Oracle."

"Capture the flag?" I asked. I sat and looked to Chiron. He smiled kindly, I haven't played that is ages. "Yes, later this evening there will be a game." Chiron told me.

I perked up, "Can I play?" I asked excitedly.

"But isn't that unfair?" Percy asked. Chiron considered this, "He may join, only if he promises not to use any of his powers." He said and looked at me. "I wouldn't use my powers just to win a game of capture the flag." I pouted.

Chiron laughed, "Then it is settled, Wyatt will also play capture the flag."

After we were done talking, they let me go, I walked around the camp, my legs still felt a little weak, but I can still play capture the flag. Right now it was a little after one, I have to wait six or seven hours until dinner and then capture the flag, what should I do?

What about going to Calypso's? I haven't been there in a month. She's probably lonely. I decided not to go to her island, when I save Artemis and Annabeth, I'll visit her.

I decided to get some more rest before dinner. That was the only way to pass time, well, the only thing I could think of, I mean. Anyway, at dinner, the hunters were huddled up and whispering to each other. I don't know what happened, but Zoe looked really upset, she was glancing at Chiron resentfully, I noticed that some of the hunters looked like they were crying. I didn't ask Percy what happened, because it could only obviously mean Zoe told them about Artemis.

After dinner, everyone was excited for capture the flag. On our team, we had Beckendorf and two other Hephaestus guys, a few from the Ares cabin, the Stoll brothers and Nico from Hermes cabin, and a few Aphrodite kids. It was weird that the Aphrodite cabin wanted to play. Usually they sat on the sidelines, chatted, and checked their reflections in the river and stuff, but when they heard we were fighting the Hunters, they were raring to go.

"I'll show them 'love is worthless,'" Silena Beauregard grumbled as she strapped on her armor. "I'll pulverize them!"

That left Thalia, Percy, and me.

"I'll take the offense," Thalia volunteered. "You two take defense."

"What? You sure that's a good idea?" I asked her. Thalia said, "You can't use your powers remember? You'll be better on defense then offense."

"Hey, even without my powers I was killing monsters before you were even born, I know how to handle a sword...Actually, you want to see how well I can fight and defend myself?" I asked her.

Thalia tilted her head, "What do you mean?"

"Instead of being on your guy's side, I'll be on the hunter's side. This'll be interesting either way. So you up for the challenge?" I asked smugly.

Thalia grinned, "Wouldn't have it any other way."

"Alright then it's settled, I'm on the hunters side for today. See you when the games starts." I smiled widely, she has no idea what she's getting herself into.

I shadow traveled to the hunter's. A couple of them freaked when I came out of nowhere, "W-Wyatt!? What are you doing here?" Bianca exclaimed.

"I'm on your guy's side for this game, I have some business with Thalia. I can't use my powers during the game, so Thalia thought it was smart to think I couldn't handle myself, so I'm going to show her what I'm made of." I smiled evilly.

Bianca laughed nervously, "W-Well this should be fun..."

Zoe stepped in, "Can't thy rivalry wait? Plus I don't want someone who couldn't even keep a promise on my team."

Zoe had a cold look on her face, I ignored her completely.

"Heroes!" he called. "You know the rules! The creek is the boundary line. Blue team—Camp Half-Blood—shall take the west woods. Hunters of Artemis—red team—shall take the east woods. I will serve as referee and battlefield medic. No intentional maiming, please! All magic items are allowed. Powers of the gods are off-limits also! That doesn't only mean Wyatt, I'm talking about children of the big three! You know who you are! To your positions!"

Was that really necessary? Well I guess that was to get the campers to know I won't be using my powers, giving them a boost in confidence I guess. Smart.

All the hunters huddled up together, I left them alone to discuss our plan, but I'm pretty sure they're going to leave me alone with Thalia to distract her and her group, while they circle around and get the flag.

That would make sense, since Zoe doesn't trust me…She never did in the first place, I just gave her an empty promise, only because I really believed in Artemis. I thought she was the strongest of the gods…I kind of still do, but I was mistaken, even a goddess can be defeated in battle, although…Atlas used dirty tricks…

I didn't realized until I heard the horn, the game had begun.

Zoe and a small group of hunters climb the trees, "Oi! What are you doing!?" I yelled up to Zoe. She ignored me, Thalia's right about one thing…She is stuck up.

Bianca walked beside me, "They're going to use the trees as cover and surprise them and take their flag, while you distract Thalia and her group." She explained. I guess I was on point. "Good, no one to get in my way." I grinned. I looked up ahead, I saw another group of hunters flanking their left side, and I guess I go right then. Oh please let me go against Thalia.

I started forward and waited. I had my sword ready, about twenty feet in front of me was Thalia and about nine campers. Damn, I was hoping for at least five of them altogether…But I guess this is alright too.

I ran forward to meet them. In a couple of seconds it will be one hell of a fight for me, since I can't use my powers, well the same applies for Thalia. Not that it matters. I was running for speed at them, only Thalia and a couple of Ares children picked up their speed the rest made their way to us, Thalia was ten feet from me now. She thrust forward with her spear, I sidestepped and kicked the side of her spear.

It went flying out of her hand, she raised her shield, I winced and then Thalia rolled out of the way and an Ares child jumped and brought his sword down with full force. When in the air, I'm the only one that will know how long it would take for them to reach the ground, which is always one to two seconds, depending on how heavy they're.

I jumped back as he hit stabbed the ground, I see. They all know I can't get hurt, so they can fight me however they please. Smart thinking. The boy looked up at me and thrust his sword at my stomach, "Bad idea." I said and sidestepped and hit his sword handle, "Ah!" He yelled, I didn't hit his hand, but that move hurts your wrist, trust me on that.

Soon after he fell two more came at me, they were slashing wildly at me, and I dodged every hit easily. These campers were not thinking about how they were going to hit me. Soon Thalia jumped in and tried again, she jabbed at me and forced me to my left side, one of the campers saw I took a misstep and almost fell. She didn't hesitate to attack me. But because of all the stuff I went through I made sure I was quick on my feet and quick on recovering when I get knocked down. I used my other leg to stop from falling, I jumped backwards, "He's too quick!" She said.

"Never mind that, let's all attack at once!" Thalia ordered. I grinned, "Bring it."

A challenge is a challenge, right? :D
