Man, I feel so tired. Percy was on Thalia and Bianca's statue, I flew over to the other one once Percy was safely on the back of the statue. When I flew over to the other statue, it freaked out, "Whoa! I didn't know there was already flying kids!"

Thalia was holding onto the statues arm like it was the most important thing in the world. Below us, a range of snowy mountains zipped by.

"We are in the Sierras.'" Zoe yelled. She and Grover were hanging from the arms of the other statue. "I have hunted here before. At this speed, we should be in San Francisco in a few hours."

"Hey, hey, Frisco!" our angel said. "Yo, Chuck! We could visit those guys at the Mechanics Monument again! They know how to party!"

"Oh, man," the other angel said. "I am so there!"

"You guys have visited San Francisco?" Percy asked.

"We automatons gotta have some fun once in a while, right?" our statue said. "Those mechanics took us over to the de Young Museum and introduced us to these marble lady statues, see. And—"

"Hank!" the other statue Chuck cut in. "They're kids, man."

"Oh, right." If bronze statues could blush, I swear Hank did. "Back to flying."

They sped up, I made the decision to go on ahead of them, "Hey everyone! I'm going to go on ahead, you should be okay from here!" I yelled over the winds.

Percy nodded, "Thanks for the help man!" He yelled and grinned. Bianca smiled, "Yeah, I'm glad you came!"

"You're welcome! I'll see you guys there!" I told them, "You won't see me, but just know that I'll be there. I won't be fighting, only when it's necessary!"

They all nodded.

I'm so glad they're my friends. Or still my friends...After what I did and everything. Heh. Anyway, I braced myself and shadow traveled to where I was last with Artemis, I turned invisible, and there she was...She had more cuts then last time.

"Artemis..." I said quietly. She didn't respond or seem to hear me. I walked quietly over to her, I knelt under the sky beside Artemis and helped her carry it. She got startled and looked in my direction.

"Shhh. It's okay, it's me, Wyatt. I told you I'll be back."

Artemis looked relived, "Thank goodness...But what about the others? My hunters?" She asked. With both of us carrying the sky, it made it easier to talk to each other. But we both sounded like we were struggling to carry something, which is true. Seeing as how tired I am, and Artemis.

I told Artemis that Zoe, Bianca, Percy, Thalia and Grover will be here soon. She was shocked to find out Percy was coming on the quest, and she didn't mean to, but she let go of the sky a little when she found out. She apologized and continued to carry it with me.

"When will they be here?" She asked, I haven't thought about that, "We only have about twenty hours until we reach your deadline, so maybe in a couple of hours? Or ten hours...I don't know. But they'll get here either way." I told her.

To past the time, I told Artemis about all our adventures and how I saved one of them from getting killed by Talos. When she found out about Bianca being a child of Hades she was a little stunned, but she accepted it just as fast.

After seven hours of staying still and thinking, I asked Artemis this. "Artemis...This may save my life...But will you accept me into your hunt? If you want a better reason I can tell you."

Artemis, told me no in an instant. "Come on...If you do this, you'll have the most powerful demi-god at your disposal, whenever you need me, I'll be there, no questions asked." I offered.

This time she hesitated, "I...I will not allow a man to join my hunters."

"Artemis...Listen, you might save my life if you accept me." I told her. I guess when she wants to she can accept it, "I pledge myself to the goddess Artemis, I turn my back on the world and join the hunt…Whenever you decide, please accept it."

She thought about this. "Let me think..." She said.

Another hour passed, but this time we were not alone. Atlas entered the cave, "Aw, why the worried look? Finally accepting the fact no one is coming for you?" He roared with laughter. She was still thinking about my offer.

"Hmph, ignoring me, huh?" He said and left. Thank the gods, his voice annoys me. "The day is almost up, I miss counted...The council with the other gods is going to be held in a couple of hours." I told her. She tensed, "Please hurry...Zoe." She said.

I decided to keep quiet and wait just like Artemis has been doing this entire time.

Thirty minutes have gone by now, "They should be here by now..." I said.

We're getting close to the ending of this story.

Thanks for reading!
