Hey guys! Thanks for the two that review! I'm glad you still support meeee even though I leeeft youuuu XD sorry again for that!
"Have you ever thought on why some gods are more powerful than others, my Lady?"
Percy asked as the sofa they were sitting on elongated into a bed. He put his feet up and relaxed himself. Artemis was somehow surprised at his casualness. Percy noticed this and raised an eyebrow, "Er, to informal?" Percy says straightening up and was just about to sit back when Artemis did something that he couldn't believed-she shifted to 12-year old form and put her feet up to. Artemis herself didn't know why, but it must be because he became Hestia's Champion. And that this was Hestia's ranch. Her environtment oozed home. So she couldn't help but relax herself.
"Well, boy, as for your question. I haven't. But thinking about it now, there are a lot of factors, yes?" she says. Percy noded. Artemis continued, "like age, birthright, parentage-"
"Yes, a lot of factors. But what do you think is the most important, my lady?" he asks. Huh. Usually, when someone interrupts a goddess, that is a huge disrespect. But why does it feel natural to talk like this? Like some kind of friends. Percy's eyes widens. "Oh, sorry for interruption, Lady Artemis. It's Hesita's powers you see. I'm sorry, Ill be more caref-"
"No," Artemis said softly and hesitated a bit before saying, "It's fine." "Thank you" Percy replied. Artemis nodded. "The most important? Well, what do you think is the most important?"
"Domain"
"Ah, the domain. Certainly, since that would determine much of the scope of a god's power, yes?" Artemis mused. Percy nodded making some kind of drink appear-nectar?! He offered some to Artemis who gladly took it and began drinking some himself. Percy stopped. Anymore and he'd be discovered. "Well, that's enough nectar for me, wouldn't you say, my lady?" said Percy with a goofy smile. "Anyway, another question, if you don't mind, Lady Artemis. What kind of domains do you think are the most powerful?"
"What do you mean 'kind'?" She says. "Mmm, wouldn't you think an abstract domain is more powerful than a concrete one?" says Percy summoning a what looked like a different kind of drink just to fool Artemis. It was still nectar though. "What do you mean?" Percy tilts his head and scratches his temple. This was kind of hard to explain. He was no Annabeth. "Er. Concrete means defined. Defined means determined. Determined means restricted. Restricted means, well. how can I put it in a word?" Percy thought and then says
"Limited."
"We're going to sail the sea"
"uhuh"
"To find Ogigya"
"Uhuh"
"Using this boat"
"Uhuh"
"Seriously, B?"
"Uhuh"
BOOM
"SHUT YOU FICKIN YAP" M says punching B "YOU WANT TO FIND OGIGYA ON A FICKIN FACKIN CANOE?!"
The winds were swirling in the sky supporting two kids. "We're back in the island" Nico says. "Too bad we don't have Percy to freeze the water below the cave" Thalia answers as she willed the winds to circle them around the island-cliff. After 717 years, surely you didn't think they hadn't powered up. "Huh, who says we need percy?" Nico says and ushers Thalia to go inside the caves. When in there, Nico flattens his hands and out comes a sort of rock floor. Ah, it does have perks when Pluto had blessed Nico long before. Nico jumps off the winds and Thalia joins him.
"Well what now?" Thalia says sitting down. Nico's eyes widen as he feels a pulse in his hands that were still flattened on the wall of a cave. "Gods, how many times have we gone back here to train?! And I HAVEN'T notice this!" Nico exclaims and closes his eyes in concentration. Suddenly, rocks on the opposite side of the cave move, and there was a secret entrance.
"Huh, interesting," Thalia says. "Want to check it out? Or no? We can always check the cave out later, I mean, I don't feel the scroll's essence there." He says. Thalia thinks for awhile. "I suppose we could go on a detour"
"So what your saying that an abstract domain is limitless?" Artemis asked. Percy nodded. "For example, the God of the Sky and Lighting, Lord Zeus. His domain is abstract, mmm, wait a moment" Percy says and calls some power. A blub of water gathers in front of them and then freezes into a flat surfaces, as if an irregular shaped TV. In the surface, you can see a reflection of Thalia.
"We've gotten a bit powerful, you know. Like I was saying, for example. And I pray that Thalia forgives me from showing you my memories of her, she has been gifted with a bit control of her powers domain. We all know she can summon electricity. And through the centuries, she's been able to get over her fear of heights-well, a bit- and control air plus her whole body can radiate electricity. But that is not the limitation of the domain. Watch one of my memories of her training, if you want to Lady Artemis"
And the scene in the frozen water in front of them changed. It was Nico and Thalia fighting. Her whole body buzzed lightning. Just as Thalia was to attack, Nico shadowtravelled in a nice speed somewhere, but just as fast-or faster, Thalia has caught up with him, leaving a trail of yellow. "As fast as lightning, wouldn't you say, Lady Artemis?" Percy says as a pun.
Nico was breathing heavily. But it didn't seem from fatigue, Artemis observed. His attacks were sharp, and his hands did not move heavy, so why was he breathing he-no, not heavily, irregularly?! "Yah, that's one scary power she's got. Since she can control air and the winds, she can literally suffocate us," Percy comments.
He gasps. "Thals, I give up. C'mon, stop using me as a guinea pig, my turn to train, I *huffs*I can't breathe!" Nico whines. "No way, I'm not done yet Nic-"
Thalia freezes and stops her lunge on him at the same time stops talking. "I wasn't asking for permission, Thals. Don't forget. As long as you have lightning, as long as you give up light, there is a shadow"
Nico made a gesture and forces Thalia to stand straight and act as if she is tied from leg to neck.
"Well, you get my point, right? Or did I not make sense?" Percy asks goofy and he frowned at the thought that he did not make sense. "Yes, I get it, Perseus. It's the same way you can control the sea but still control water and other liquids in all its properties, yes? Because Our fathers' domain is abstract"
"Yes, remember one of my brothers, my lady? J, the son of Mars? Yeah, well he can control blood"
Artemis nodded remembering his story
"But he said he couldn't control the Ace's-your blood?" Artemis asked
"Yes, unlike him, it is not my gift-all gifts have burdens after all-just an extension. The reason he could not control me was because I could control the water and the blood in him too"
As if on cue there was a sound coming from the frozen water tv in front of them
"Ahahaha, who's incapacitated now, Thalia, ahaha-" Nico stopped talking. In fact he stopped moving
Percy came to view, "Ahahaha!Yes Nico, who's incapacitated?" Percy asked and then released his grip on him who in turn releases his grip on Thalia's.
"Men, Percy, that leave's a creepy feeling, when you control it," Nico whines
"Oh not us creepy as your shadows, death breath :p" Thalia shoots back
"Yes, yes, but Percy, let's get back on the topic, who is the most powerful Olympian"
"Mmm, ehehe, yes yes, but wait a moment I swear I'll answer that, but let me ask you a few more questions"
Artemis raised an eyebrow, "yes?"
"What happens to a god's weapon when he fades"
"Well, a weapon is a manifestation of the gods' power, so they fade too. Well unless there is someone compatible with it enough to wield it-so it becomes a spoil of war. That rarely happens. And if you take it by force, you have to overcome the weapon to make it subservient to you"
"And how many of the Olympians have someone to pass their weapons to if ever they fad-"
"No one! That's preposterous! That's the loophole to the ancient laws that forbid us to steal each other's symbol! If we had one, then that low could not protect us! Because, if our symbol acknowledges another being, it'll have somewhat a right on it!"
"Are you sure there's no one?" Percy asks carefully
"Yes"
"Lady Artemis, you are right now, looking at Percy Jackson," he says seriously. "Heir of the Trident"
