Hello. Ahlan Wa Sahlan Ya Habibi.
Travis' POV
"This is bad". Connor exclaimed as he rubbed a canoe boat.
"Of course it is dummy, Why would you steal Drew's undergarments in the first place?" asked Travis as he wiped sweat from his forehead.
"It was payback for what she did to us last week". Connor said with determination. Last week Drew had charmspeak them to run around naked in camp in the middle of the night yelling "ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE! RUN MORTALS RUN!" Someone recorded it on camera and soon the video went viral. "I just wanted to glue them and put them back in her drawer. It was your stupid idea to put itch powder in them"
"Itch powder is better than glue." Travis protested.
"Yeah", Connor said sarcastically. "And inspite of doing the dishes Chiron made us rub the canoe boats clean"
"We do the dishes all the time, a little change is good right?"
Conch horns blew announcing lunch time. The Stolls stood up and headed to the dining Pavilion.
To his amazement today campers were being served half-Bloods. Well thats what Travis thought at first when he saw the 7 demigods of prophecy along with Nico and Apollo standing on the dining table. The stolls were the last to reach the dining pavilion. Everyone rose from their tables and the 8 demigods jumped off the tables awkwardly.
Chiron bowed to Apollo. "Apollo what an honour to have to here. What can we do for you?"
Apollo flashed a smile. "No need to bow Chiron. I am here to make an announcement.", He turned to the campers and cleared his throat. "Campers! Because of their services during the Titan War and Giant war, these demigods here were summoned today by Lord Zeus to be given gifts as an honour for their duties. May i present to you the 7 new gods and goddesses:
All Hail,
Annabeth Chase, goddess of architect, battle strategy and wisdom. Sacred animal: Owl.
Leo Valdez, god of machines, inventions and fire bender. Sacred animal: Fire breathing Dragon
Piper Mclean goddess of charm and beauty. Sacred bird: Dove
Frank Zhang god of war and shapeshifter. Sacred animal: Falcon
Hazel Levesque goddess of underground and riches. Sacred animal: Wild horses
Nico Di Angelo god of shadows nightmares and death. Sacred animal: Hellhound and scavenger
Jason Grace, god of wing, eagles and storm. Sacred animal: Bald Eagle.
And at last i am very happy to introduce you to the new Olympian, Our Favourite Percy Jackson, the new Olympian, god of half bloods, courage, youth, hope, heroes, battle tactics, water, storm and earthquakes. Sacred animal: well, Puppies and Seals. I am not surprised."
As Apollo made the announcement the campers burst into cheers so loud that it must have been heard in New York. The Demigods were not very comfortable with all of the attention but they let the campers to raise them on their shoulders anyways. After a couple of hours finally the crowd dispersed and Travis had the chance to meet everyone of them and congrat them. Percy did not feel very pleased about being turned into god which wasn't surprising to Travis at all, because well, he is Percy we are talking about.
Later that night Travis was smuggling some beers into the camp for elder campers when he noticed two figures near Thalia's Pine tree. He hid the beverages in the bushes and headed their way. They whoever they were didn't see Travis coming.
"Hi guys" Travis said. He could make out Percy's face and another blonde tall boy standing beside him. Jason.
Both of them jumped up in surprise. "Travis?" Percy asked, "What the hell are you doing here?"
"I could ask you guys the same question." Travis replied.
"Percy is leaving camp". Jason answered.
"What? Why?" Travis couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"I am going with Artemis. She asked me to join the hunt." Percy replied calmly.
"I thought that they hated males." Travis asked.
"Percy is an exception" Jason said.
But why would you leave the camp, us, Your are our leader Percy. We need you". Travis looked at Percy.
Perct waved his hand. "I am no one's leader Travis. And I want to take my mind off from certain things. I will be back after that".
"When will you came back Percy?" Travis asked.
"I don't know. Artemis is giving me a 5 year contract. If I survive those years maybe I will come back." He replied.
"Yes you will. You always do" Travis put a hand on his shoulder. "Try to come back alive, the camp needs you".
"I will try, but no promises." Percy smiled. "Guys I have to go now, Artemis is waiting outside the camp boarder. Will see you later". He gave Jason and Travis hug and walked away. Jason sighed. "Here goes the savior of Olympus on a guest to find peace". Jason shook his head and headed to his cabin.
Five Years Later, Tada.
Percy's POV
It would be good to say that living with the hunt is the best thing ever. Which wasn't. Being the new Olympian and immortal has its own perks but it didn't work well when you are surrounded by teen girl armed with sharp weapons. Percy's schedule was simple and wasn't very busy at all. He would sleep during day time because he was the night sentry. Of course he was invited to hunt monsters and stuff but he spent most of his time alone. The hunters will flirt with him to annoy him and when he complained it to Artemis she said that it was his problem to deal with. Percy knew that she secretly approved of this to annoy him. Most of the time Percy will be sharpening the arrows and washing clothes of hunters. Don't mind the savior of Olympus washing clothes of maiden immortal girls dressed in silver. Percy knew that if he complained they will kick his ass.
But on the bright side he had found peace of mind and heart. He would meditate in the woods and try to control his emotions. This was working good for him. Thalia would sit with him and chat. She was nicest in the hunt which was to say a lot. Both of them grew closer to each other and now can even chat for a full day without killing each other and thats a big improvement.
5 years took the time to pass and now only a week was left to the expiry of Percy's contract with Artemis. He won't mind to extend it but his heart wasn't in it now. He was trained and ready to go out in the real world, here he was always surrounded by the hunters. That one night he was looking forward to meet artemis and discuss his contract when Thalia entered his camp.
"Hey Percy, Atemis is asking for you". She entered the tent without permission.
"Hey isn't there some privacy?" Percy complained.
Thalia rolled her eyes. "You weren't nude or something Percy, so i didn't need your permission."
"Jeez pinecone face, wait for me outside." Percy put on a clean shirt. "what are you staring at?"
"Wow kelphead, nice abs" Thalia smirked and winked.
"Enough with you and your flirts Thalia, now lets go". Percy stood up tho he was blushing.
"You asked for me Lady Artemis?"
"Sit Percy." Artemis offered him a chair. "I have word from Olympus. They demand our presence in the council meeting".
"Okay" Percy aswered slowly. "What is the meeting for?"
Artemis shifted uneasily. "The camp needs a sword master."
"So why they don't pick someone?" Percy asked.
"Well no one met the standard. They want you to go back to camp. You are being offered the job of Camp Activity Director beside Chiron".
Percy stood up. "We didn't agreed on this"
Artemis sighed, "No one is forcing you Percy, it is your choice. But we suggest you that you should go. Partly because my hunters are falling for you. You have this impact on them, I don't want to lose them. Besides the camp really needs you."
Percy blushed. "Um but here are better sword fighters than me in the camp."
"name one?" Artemis crossed her arms.
"Umm Jason?" Percy offered.
"No. He is roman Percy. Their fighting style is unorthodox. Greeks have different fighting style. They must appoint a Greek teacher." Artemis answered.
"Percy". Thalia stepped in. "You are too generous to accept it but you are the best sword fighter of the millennia. You defeated Luke.." "I never won a duel against him" Percy interrupted. "What about Ares?" She asked. "I was helped" Percy answered.
"As she told you Percy, you are too generous to accept the fact. You are the best option. You must go". Artemis said.
Percy sighed. "Guess there is no option left for me". Artemis smiled.
"We better go now." Artemis stood up "Thalia take care of the hunt, I will be back after the council meeting is over".
Thalia hugged Percy. Percy was startled at first but soon hugged back. "I guess i will see you later Kelp Head". "see you later Pinecone face" Percy smiled at her. Together Percy and Artemis teleported to Olympus.
