Chapter 1
Percy Jackson was a young demigod, the son of Poseidon, god of the sea. He had been on many adventures, but he had never seen anything like this before.
He was walking through the forest when he came across a clearing. In the middle of the clearing was a beautiful pool of water. And next to the pool was a woman.
The woman was bathing. Her long, blonde hair was wet and flowing. Her skin was pale and flawless. And her body was perfect.
Percy couldn't help but stare. He had never seen a woman so beautiful.
The woman sensed his presence and looked up. She saw Percy staring at her, and she smiled.
"Hello," she said. "My name is Artemis."
Percy was stunned. He couldn't believe that he was talking to Artemis, the goddess of the hunt.
"It's nice to meet you," he said. "My name is Percy."
Artemis smiled again. "It's nice to meet you too, Percy," she said. "What brings you to my forest?"
Percy hesitated. He didn't know how to tell her that he had been spying on her.
"I was just...walking by," he said finally.
Artemis raised an eyebrow. "Really?" she said. "And what were you doing walking by my pool?"
Percy blushed. "I...I was looking for a place to swim," he said.
Artemis laughed. "You could have just asked," she said. "I wouldn't have minded."
Percy felt even more embarrassed. "I didn't want to bother you," he said.
Artemis smiled again. "You're not bothering me," she said. "In fact, I'm glad you're here. I haven't had someone to talk to in a long time."
Percy and Artemis talked for hours. They talked about their lives, their families, and their adventures. Percy told Artemis about his quest to stop Kronos, and she told him about her life as a goddess.
As the sun began to set, Percy realized that he had been talking to Artemis for a long time.
"I should probably go," he said. "It's getting late."
Artemis nodded. "It was nice talking to you, Percy," she said. "You can come back and visit me anytime."
Percy smiled. "I will," he said.
Percy turned to leave, but then he stopped. He turned back to Artemis and said, "I'm sorry for seeing you bathing."
Artemis smiled. "It's okay," she said. "I'm not ashamed of my body."
Percy nodded. "I know," he said. "But I still should have asked."
Artemis reached out and touched Percy's cheek. "You're a good boy, Percy," she said. "And I'm glad you're my friend."
Percy smiled. "I'm glad I'm your friend too," he said.
Percy turned and walked away, but he couldn't help but look back one last time. Artemis was still standing there, watching him. She smiled and waved, and Percy waved back.
Percy walked out of the forest and into the sunlight. He took a deep breath and smiled. He had had a wonderful time talking to Artemis, and he couldn't wait to see her again.
