Calypso
While the demigods behind me break into another argument, Annabeth catches up with me. "You're the banished daughter of Atlas," she states bluntly.
I don't know what she is talking about nor do I care, so I just ignore her and pick up my pace. The 'demigods' behind me have become quieter and Annabeth gets the hint and joins them.
Atlas, I muse. A Titan. Surely I cannot be the daughter of a Titan, right?
Why am I even considering this? The gods don't exist, and these are just a bunch of lunatics I apparently have to take in for the night. I'm still considering leaving them out in the woods, especially if the blonde keeps onto me like that.
When we arrive I let down the borders for them only and put up new ones around my room. I stride into my room and grab seven sleeping bags, it gets rather cold at night so I grab two extra blankets as well.
I walk back out to where they are trying to enter my room and toss them all a sleeping bag and one blanket to the 'Romans' and one to the 'Greeks'.
"We'll talk in the morning," I say shortly.
I crawl into bed and pull the blanket over me. I know Annabeth is probably telling the others what little that she knows about me but I'm pretty sure she doesn't know my memory is gone.
I am standing in the middle of the Olympian throne room, Zeus is arguing with Artemis, Poseidon and Hestia. Zeus wants to kill me but the three of them manage to bargain with him. Zeus nods his head reluctantly and the rest of the gods murmur in assent.
Artemis changes back to my height and pulls me behind her throne, giving me a big hug. She presses a necklace into my hand, it has a seashell pendants in the middle and two slightly smaller pearl pendants on either side, "It is from your sister Zoë, the pearls turn into hunting knives and the seashell turns into a bow. I am sorry I could not do more for you. Zeus is too paranoid about people trying to overthrow him."
"It's okay Artemis, thank you for giving me the necklace."
She nods. "Stay safe."
Zeus calls me over. "For suspicion of trying to overthrow the gods, the Olympian Council hereby sentences you to eternal banishment. We will shall also remove your memories to prevent this from happening again."
Zeus throws his master bolt at me and I black out.
Next, various images flood through my brain, restoring my memories. Artemis, Zoë and I on a hunt. Spying on Kronos. Talking with Hestia.
Soon the memories come to a stop and I slowly wake up. Oh my gods, I'm a demi-titan. That's what Annabeth meant before when she called me the banished daughter of Atlas. Her information was accurate but I was unable to realise it before. I wonder how much she knows about me.
From the lighting and the sun's position I guess that it's around 8:00. I brush my hair up into a ponytail and go outside to see all the demigods still asleep. Leo, snoring loudly. Rolling my eyes, I start to prepare breakfast. I travel to the Grove and collect some wild strawberries and climb a tree to get eight apples.
When I return everyone is still asleep. I wash the strawberries then kick Leo in the ribs. "Get up and wake the others."
They hadn't bandaged his arm so there was a long line of dried smeared blood on his arm.
Leo grumbles a bit before he opens his eyes and remembers where he is. He obediently wakes everyone else up and I throw them all an apple and hand out the strawberries. "Breakfast."
They huddle together and talk quietly among themselves while I lean against the wall, savoring the flavor of my apple.
Soon Jason turns around and faces me. "Is what Annabeth said true? Did you betray the gods?"
"I didn't betray them! I spied for them before Zeus decided I was too powerful and tried to kill me!" I burst out.
"But according to mythology-" Annabeth starts, but I cut her off, waving my hand in the air dismissively. "Zeus would've made sure no one knew the real story."
Annabeth opens her mouth to argue but Piper cuts her off with a even glare. "I believe her Annabeth, and I'm sorry I tried to charmspeak you," she addressed the last part to me and I nod my head.
"Would it be alright if we could see your battle skills?" Percy asked politely.
I nod, smirking on the inside. "Sure, who's your best fighter?"
Percy and Jason look at each other before Jason gestures for Percy to move forward. "All yours, mate."
Percy brings out a pen, he uncaps it and it turns into a bronze sword. Percy examines my face for surprise and is noticeably taken back when he sees none.
I summon my knives and Jason counts us in. "Three, two, one. Go!"
Percy charges towards me, going on the offensive. I draw my bow and fire an arrow into his sword arm. Percy grunts in pain, pauses to wrench the arrow out and switches sword arms. Percy approaches me more warily this time, visible relief showing when my bow disappears from my hands.
I twirl my knives and gesture him forward. He charges again and we begin a deadly dance. I spin away from his downward strike towards my shoulder and jump over his sweeping leg. I parry his slash to my side but send no strike of my own. As I let him slowly back me up towards a large rock, I study his technique.
Percy is definitely an excellent swordsman but he seems reluctant to harm me. So the next time Percy slashes towards my neck, instead of dodging I stand still and drop one of my knives, making him hesitate. I take advantage of his momentary distraction and grab his sword arm and twist his wrist hard, spraining it and making him drop his sword into my waiting hand. I bring a knife to his throat and his sword to the back of his neck. "Yield?"
He nods, breathing heavily. "I yield."
I wave Leo over as I start healing Percy's wrist and shoulder. An audible 'pop' is heard from Percy's arm and he flinches. Once I've finished healing Percy, I quickly heal Leo's cut on his arm.
I pick up Percy's sword and examine it. The craftsmanship is familiar and I recognize the handwriting the engraving is in.
"Who made this sword Percy?" I ask carefully.
His eyes sadden, "Zoë Nightshade, a friend of mine."
I nearly drop the sword in surprise. "You know my sister?! How is she?"
Percy and Annabeth exchange a pained look and Percy says, "Calypso. Zoë's dead," then as an afterthought he adds, "and its all my fault."
