Chapter 6: Unexpected visitor

Artemis

I woke up from a long sleep without dreams, but it was as if I had slept for an eternity. It took a few seconds for me to realize that I was in my room, in my temple of Olympus. I felt relief that is far from that place, but then I got angry with my terrible fighting Python. I did not expect the fight to be easy, but be rescued while I was passed out was a laughingstock. Before I got up, the doors opened and my assistants, Aspalis and Britomartis, did enter.

"Lady Artemis, it took a whole day, but you are finally better!" Aspalis perked up when she saw me.

"You looked it is very bad when we arrived but Ambrosia and Lemnos water always purifies everything." Britomartis said.

"Yes, the hunt was a bit exhausting, but I'm already much better now."

"Apollo hurt much?" Britomartis joked.

"Not much, but it bother you again?"

"Not really, this may mean that the situation was horrible!" Aspalis seemed a little alarmed.

"Even though it was pretty bad, it's okay now."

They looked at each other a bit worried.

"Okay, what happened this time?" I sighed.

"There are two problems; the love cabin was burned ..."

"That's no problem!" Britomartis dismissed.

"Except that goddess will blame us and bring bad luck!"

"We already know how to handle it, now what is the other news?"

"One of our huntress just been kidnapped!"

I felt a wave of concern and anger.

"Who? Tell me everything. "

After a brief explanation, I went to the Camp Half Blood to see my huntress. The other Olympians should've busy with their own things from them and anyway, I do not want to lose more time.

In big house, Mr. D, Chiron and Apollo were playing poker. There was a storm outside and Apollo was the one who looked nervously out the window as if expecting Zeus threw a thunderbolt on it.

"Arty, you finally came!" Apollo said.

"Yes, Lord Zeus worsened your punishment?"

"Now I cannot drink ambrosia and nectar for a decade and the worst is that I cannot use my powers or to rejuvenate my human form!"

"At least you've had as a young person, unlike me." Mr. D lamented, "You will only appear to have nearly thirty years."

"You do not understand my situation! I can not do my lyre appears, I can not date neither mortal nor immortal, also not punish idiots who offend me! "

"Excuse me, Lord Apollo, but I think we have another urgent matter, is not it?" Chiron intervened in my favor, as he heard thunder in the sky.

"Yes, Thalia was kidnapped right under Olympus."

Apollo just looked at me nervously as if he were responsible for it. Maybe he already knew what would happen to Thalia and could not intervene because of the meager, but of course that Zeus should have blamed him for that too. ChFCiron said:

"I'm sorry, I will now call the huntress!"

"Yes, I'll go with you." I spoke out, along with Chiron and Apollo.

"Lady Artemis, would you mind talking about the incident in the cabin of Aphrodite?"

"I do not have time to solve distasteful jokes, but I can hear."

"Well, we investigate what caused the fire and found a silver arrow."

I stopped for a moment and stared for Chiron:

"I suppose it was to incriminate my huntress or one of Aphrodite's children bothered some of my hunting."

"We are still investigating this, but do not want to unjustly accuse any camper."

"I see, there are more important things to worry about."

As soon as I arrived in front of my cabin, the huntress came to me and understandably worried.

"We should have gone together with our Lieutenant!" Alexandria said.

"It's not your fault, but we must leave as soon as possible!"

"Well, us having to talk about it, Arty." Apollo intervened.

The huntress seemed a little surprised, but few seemed to realize that the boy was indeed Apollo. Not that it made a huge difference to them if one of his children or himself.

"I hope it has some relation with rescue Thalia."

"Yes, unfortunately it will be necessary to make a trip to Camp Jupiter and I can not guarantee that we will not have problems."

I remembered when I was told to hunt Ophiotaurus , I was told that I would lose someone important and I could do nothing but to hunt the monster.

But I could not think that if I had not gone alone, maybe Zoe would not have gone to the mission to rescue and would not have died. On the other hand, I could not defy fate ... It was better not to ask more details and my brother into trouble.

"Tell me just what I should do."

Percy

I woke up a little dizzy, as if I'd just take a hit, but soon I realized I was in my cabin. Annabeth and Grover were next to my bed.

"It's time to wake up, Seaweed Brain!" Annabeth demanded.

"To be fair, it only makes a little more than an hour ..." Grover said.

"And Thalia?" I questioned lifting me out of bed trying not to fall.

"She was taken by Lycaon and unfortunately I could not do anything!"

"In addition, Artemis has returned and will probably kill you." Grover bleated.

I looked at the entrance to the cabin and I thought Artemis glaring at me with silver eyes. Annabeth sneered:

"Let her try, but either way we'll have to find her as soon as possible after we go to the Camp Jupiter before sunset."

"Do you have any plans to go so fast? I do not know if Piper woke up yet. "

"No, but she better wake up soon so maybe she can charmspeaking the Romans to save Reyna."

"You make it sound like Piper is just a tool."

She rolled eyes.

"You should only pay attention to my plans! On transport, you should we take the camp the river to the River Tiber in Camp Jupiter. "

"Do not worry, I've been there with Ofiotaurus and we already warn you that we are going there." Grover said.

"But I never tried to move so far away!"

"Do not hurt to try!"

Suddenly Will Solance walked into our cabin and looked worried:

"Piper woke up!"

As soon as we could out of the cab, I could see a group of huntress arguing in front of their cabin. Some we cast angry glances, but not to approach us. Annabeth sighed:

"Why Thalia had to walk with them? Will, how is Piper? "

"It's a little confused, can not remember what happened a little before reaching the cabin...".

We entered a makeshift tent for the children of Apollo after the fight against Gaea. Since the Romans left, the place seemed emptier. Piper was on a stretcher, with Jason next.

"Piper, are you okay now?"

"I think so, although I do not remember exactly what happened ...".

"There are more important things to worry about now, I need to tell you about a message I received from Reyna."

"Why did not you tell me before?"

"To not count twice the same thing, seaweed head. Now just listen to me, the Amazons came earlier and perhaps because of it, they postponed the trial of Reyna to here a few

"You mean Hylla should be there? Thalia told me that she was fired by Ares."

"Well, she can still have some Amazons in her hand, but the fact is that Camp Jupiter demanded the presence of the seven on trial."

"Can only be six." I remembered Leo.

"It's all we have now!" Annabeth said.

The water tunnel seemed endless, taking a few minutes to come to u lot of land that seemed to us to take the surface. We emerge from the surface of the Little Tiber, where we saw by far two of the centurions seemed that we are expecting. They came to us while Annabeth advanced to them:

"We are called demigods to help praetor Reyna."

Soon I realized that the centurions were Leila and Dakota, who did not seem very happy. Since I knew they were peaceful, perhaps it meant trouble.

Terminus suddenly appears among us, with a horrible scowl.

"Only because I knew you would come, can not mean simply go without coming to greet me or something, after all I am still the God of the border!"

"Well, sorry." I hurried.

"Oh, why apologize after making a mistake solves everything. Well, I'll let it go this time. "Terminus said, disappearing as quickly as it had come.

"You're a little late, and maybe Reyna does not have a chance." Leila said.

"She's at the Forum will soon if they want to talk to them before the inquisitor start the trial." Dakota said.

We go into the Senate and escorted to a room where were Hazel, Frank and Hylla.

"Sorry for the inconvenience, but you only see Reyna at trial." Dakota said.

Dakota and Leila left the room and closed the door with such force that might well have us locked. Before I could say anything, Hylla intervened:

"You must be Annabeth, Reyna told me about you."

"Yes, we came to help her!"

"How are things?" I asked Hazel and Frank.

"Horrible, the senators seemed so angry with Reyna who looked like they were going to lynch her." Hazel said.

"We have no time for small talk, I need to tell my plan to help Reyna escape!" Annabeth said.

"Plan? Did you do it now? "

Annabeth sighed as if I were too stupid to understand what, when and how she thinks.

"Percy, while you were unconscious, I received a message from my mother saying that we should try to free Reyna!"

"What? Not that I want her to be arrested, but because Athena say that? "

"Because that's what the gods want! Percy, this is not the first time that they require something. "

"Well, we want to save Reyna and so why doubt it?" Hylla agreed.

"That sounds suspicious ... We should not expect to be called to testify at the trial?" Hazel asked.

"My mother said that they will not let us leave until after Reyna run!"

"I do not think it will happen." Frank tried to argue, but did not seem confident.

"Do you want my sister dead?" Hylla shouted angrily, as if trying to intimidate them.

"Okay, she's right, let's do it!" Jason said.

Before long, we had already placed the plan, which was not only difficult to Annabeth.

Piper used the charmspeaking to call the guards who were behind the door, while Hazel was an illusion that we were all in the room when Annabeth, Jason, Frank, and I Hylla leaving the room.

Fortunately there was no one to stop us through the corridors, so we went out and we saw the forum full of people screaming. We ran as fast as possible while Annabeth kept remembering the plan:

"You should wear my hat, go to Reyna and call Blackjack for her escape!"

"I've got it, you know everything!"

"So it's good to do it right! Others will do something if something unforeseen. "

I was afraid to ask if the others would be the Romans running behind us to prevent her escape. There was no time to lose, I walked in the middle of the stands and ran to where Reyna and senators were.

Reyna was in front of the senators who did not seem many angry while talking about what she did to us. So I approached her slowly, I heard her say:

"If the gods think that's fair you punish me bu risk it for the safety of Camp Jupiter, they would surely give some sign of it."

I was wondering if Reyna was expecting some help or if she even wanted to escape it. This would only cause problems, then I heard a strange voice.

"Be careful mortals, listen to your goddess."

A strong light rose in the sky and landed between Reyna and senators. Then the form of light flickered for a human form and then I realized it was Calypso.

Senators seemed shocked and bowed to her, but I knew something was very wrong. And in a moment of madness, I took off my hat and revealed myself to everyone.

"Stop, you're not Artemis!"

Calypso looked shocked, but soon recovered.

"How dare you challenge me, mortal?"

"Percy, what are you talking about?" Reyna asked confused.

"I do not know when you first met she, but she is the Calypso!"

Before Calypso would kill me, a silver arrow flew and hit her so hard that she almost fell on top of the senators. I turned quickly to see Artemis, who had the same stern look than the first time I saw her, but even so I was admirable. She walked closer to me, but looked at Calypso who stood stunned.

"I am Artemis, goddess of the moon and hunting. And you are just an impostor. "Artemis said as senators bowed to her.

Then other people came in the middle of the stands and to surprise people, I did not need to look to know it was another god who was here ... My day was getting complicated, but unfortunately nothing different than usual. Ares appeared with Hazel, Frank and Rachel Elizabeth Dare that looked more ragged than usual. The Amazon were also together, but to my amazement, two of them were holding Hylla with tied wrists and legs.

Annabeth and Jason left the crowd soon after to join us. Roman seemed quiet and senators quickly bowed to Ares.

"It is time to put the order in this mess!" Ares bellowed, hitting a long stick on the floor.

"It is not necessary to cause a scene, we are only here because of Calypso." Artemis said.

"Anyway, she deserves a great punishment for pretending to be an Olympian!"

"Sorry, I did not want ..." Calypso begged.

"Wait, should not wonder why she's doing this?" I intruded.

"Nobody asked your opinion, Jackson!"

"Ares, even if you know you'd better ask her." Artemis helped me.

Ares rubbed his chin for a moment.

"But we should also do something for the daughter of Athena that had this brilliant plan to cause turmoil."

Ares said turning to Annabeth.

"I warned that we should not be rushing." Frank whispered to her.

"That's not fair! My mother said it was important to take Reyna here because it could be performed by these stupid senators. "Annabeth pointed to the senators.

"And the news of the following would be the Greeks helped a defendant to runaway a fair trial? At best, the Romans would want to prohibit the Greeks return to this place. "

"Athena should certainly know better than you, moreover because Hylla being arrested again?"

"I already said I do not want she as head of Amazon, but it keeps coming back. Also she and her sister believed in Calypso that it would help them. "

"How would I know it was not Artemis? Calypso also warned me that Athena told Annabeth. "Reyna protested.

"That's not my problem, but I will give a reasonable punishment for you two. You two will be banishedforever of Camp Jupiter! "

"Then I could have left my plan for her escape!" Annabeth yelled.

"Be careful or you'll be next!" Ares clenched teeth.

Quickly, Ares did strings appear around Reyna just as Hylla was trapped.

Annabeth wanted to shout back, but Artemis warned:

"Do not worry because they will not be abandoned left on their own."

Annabeth looked at her angrily, but said nothing and looked at me as if expecting me to do something. I was angry because Artemis did not want to make things easier, but I did not want to see she on the bad side ... Then Ares snapped his fingers making Calypso be wrapped in a tube of flame that soon disappeared with her.

"Where have you sent her?" Frank asked.

"I sent where she will be questioned by your half brothers Phobos and Deimos." Ares laughed wickedly.

"What about ... us?" Hylla said fearfully.

"Before you be abandoned left on your own, you will go a long travel."

Except Artemis, all we seemed confused.

"What? Another quest? "I said surprised.

"Not exactly, you will accompany Artemis on this trip to find one of the huntress and perhaps bring more prisoners."

"Ares, you did know her name." Artemis said a little irritated.

"But ..." I said.

"No more, you will leave together today." Ares growled.

I give to argue, but at least we were going rescue Thalia. Artemis did not seem too happy with this and wondered if she was angry that I had not protected Thalia, but I was used to the unexpected.

N/A: Do not worry, Percy and Artemis will have more interaction in the next chapter. I hope I did not Annabeth ooc, but at least it is not quickly killed or cheating Percy (No offense to those who like the story this way)

See you soon. :)
