3rd pov

"Two years for Kronos to deceive you," Athena said. "Much can change in two years, my young hero."

"Mother!" Annabeth said, exasperated.

"It is only the truth, child. It is bad strategy to keep the animal alive. Or the boy."

Poseidon stood. "I will not have a sea creature destroyed, if I can help it. And I can help it."

He held out his hand, and a trident appeared in it: a twenty foot long bronze shaft with three spear tips that shimmered with blue, watery light. "I will vouch for the boy and the safety of the Ophiotaurus."

"You won't take it under the sea!" Zeus stood suddenly. "I won't have that kind of bargaining chip in your possession."

"Brother, please," Poseidon sighed.

Zeus's lightning bolt appeared in his hand, a shaft of electricity that filled the whole room with the smell of ozone.

"Fine," Poseidon said. "I will build an aquarium for the creature here. Hephaestus can help me. The creature will be safe. We shall protect it with all our powers. The boy will not betray us. I vouch for this on my honor."

Zeus thought about this. "All in favor?"

To Percy's surprise, a lot of hands went up. Dionysus abstained. So did Ares and Athena. But everybody else…

"We have a majority," Zeus decreed. "And so, since we will not be destroying these heroes… I imagine we should honor them. Let the triumph celebration begin!"

All the gods cheered, expect Percy, Thalia, Grover, Bianca, and Annabeth. They stood still looking at the body of Wyatt Knight. Everyone knows this was going to happen sooner or later. The gods and goddess's looked down at the demi-gods. Artemis's eyes drifted to Wyatt, again she had a pained expression.

She was the one who told them about having a funeral for him. Yet she isn't doing anything. Percy looked up, "My shoulder is getting tired...If it's okay with you...I'd like to pass, I want to take him back to camp and have a proper funeral."

Zeus had a disgusted look, "He is not dead. Although it would be better if he was."

Artemis was still looking at the body of Wyatt Knight, "He has…Wyatt Knight, has done many things for us and the heroes at Camp half-blood. And if what you say is true, then we should at least heal him enough to wake up. Let him know he didn't die." Artemis said.

Zeus thought otherwise, "With him alive, that just means we're still in danger. His powers can destroy us all."

Athena spoke up too, "That is true his powers are dangerous to us, but what has he done to hurt us? Sure he beat up Ares, but that was because Ares pushed his buttons. We need Wyatt Knight with us, his power can be of great use."

Dionysus had a bored look on his face, like he just wanted to go and party. "I say leave him be, if he is truly alive, then let him sleep. It's better for us that way, we'll know we're not in danger."

In Percy's mind, he couldn't believe they were actually thinking about not helping his healing process. "Excuse me. But I think you should help him, if you do, then he is in your debt, Wyatt takes those kinds of things really serious. He would obey every word, to pay you back for what you did for him."

Poseidon, stood. "He is right, this boy, Wyatt Knight, is a proud one, and is very powerful. With someone like that on our side, we'll never have to worry about the titan's again."

Ares mumbled, "Just let him sleep, he'll wake up eventually."

Artemis started to argue with Ares and then soon all the gods were arguing, "Silence!" Zeus shouted, everyone stopped and looked at the lord of the sky, "Ares is right, we will let him sleep."

Percy looked stunned, Annabeth and Grover looked at each other. "I don't mean to be rude, but why would you let him sleep? Having someone like him in your debt, is like having an entire army at your command." Annabeth said.

Zeus grumbled, "I know, but the fates are responsible for Wyatt, not us. We never wanted someone who could take us down around, but the fates think otherwise, so I can't do anything to him. Although I should…"

Everyone was quiet. Artemis stood and said, "Percy, Annabeth and Grover, you deserve to have fun, I'll take care of Wyatt."

The gods looked at Artemis with shock. Artemis is a maiden who doesn't want anything to do with men, or mortals and yet, she was the one who offered to take care of Wyatt Knight, who is both a mortal and man.

~ Artemis's pov

My brothers and sisters, were shocked when I offered to do what Percy wanted to do, which is to take Wyatt Knights body to camp half-blood, and was supposed to help with his funeral, but now that I know he isn't dead…I'm glad…Wyatt is different from most mortals, there's no doubt about that.

When I walked to Percy, no one spoke a word, not even Ares, which kind of surprised me, everyone knows he has a bigmouth, but he stayed quiet, and I was assuming he would say something, because I've never offered to help a man. Never.

I'm Artemis, the goddess of the moon, and hunt. I've sworn eternal maidenhood, and to never have any children. And I've also swore never to have a man join my hunt…Yet, I let Wyatt join. He offered me his life, if he joins I can get him to do anything I want, and he said it would save his life…Did I actually save him?

After I grabbed Wyatt, I checked to see if my father was telling the truth, he is alive? I felt Wyatt's pulse, this was something we should have done from the beginning. But the amount of blood he lost made us think that he was actually going to die.

I put my hand on his wrist, his skin was pale, even more than before, he looks like he's dead, but his pulse was still there…Wyatt was in a coma.

Alright now there is only one more chapter.

Thanks for reading!
