"Hello,Lady Artemis," his tone was full of venom and hatred.

"Perseus," Artemis emotionlessly greeted, leaving behind any type of emotion. "You are hereby under arrest by orders of Olympus-"

Artemis was suddenly cut off by Percy's laugh. It was so out of nowhere and lunatic that people would wonder if he wasn't crazy. The laugh had been one that would only be classified as a Joker laugh.

"Oh, that is so funny," Percy said as he took a moment to regain his bearings. "To believe that it had been Olympus as if it hadn't been Zeus' orders just threatening you bunch of sorry asses,"

Artemis was momentarily shocked at hearing how close he had been to the truth. Most of them hadn't wanted to go out and arrest Percy, but Zeus had been using his previous threats and blackmail to force them, the only one doing it in their own favor was Ares.

"Still, you have been branded an enemy and needed to be brought to Olympus by all means necessary," Artemis stated as she took in her surroundings, making sure that she wasn't at a disadvantage.

"Oh, that's interesting," Percy perked up at her words. "So that means that even if I were to kill every single one of your hunters just because I wanted to escape you will still come after me?" He mocked curiously.

Artemis and her hunters had been shocked at hearing how he casually threatened to kill every single one of them so he could go free. They all knew the stories about him and those who had personally met him knew that they were true. Percy was a noble and rightful person, so hearing him so casually threaten to kill them had been shocking.

Percy was having a really hard time having to hold back from appearing in front of Artemis and stabbing her across her heart, but he knew better than before to start a fight with the immortals. Even though he was at the point in which he was stronger than most immortals, he wasn't going to start his first battle.

"If you put a hand in my hunters, I'll-"

"You'll what? You'll kill me just as you kill my parents?" Percy growled, his aura increasing to the point in which the weakest hunters were dropped to a knee. "You will know that killing me now is much more difficult than before,"

Artemis was astonished by Percy's aura. She had felt it before while he was still a demigod and with Hyperion's domain, but now it was on a whole other level. She would even dare say that his aura was up there with hers and Athena's, only Apollo and Zeus along with her uncles were on top.

The hunters were feeling fear and confusion by his words. On one side, his statement about Artemis killing his parents was very confusing. None of them knew that they were killed, even less by their mistress, besides Thalia. On the other hand, they were fearsome by his tremendous aura, one they had never felt before and couldn't compare to anybody else's.

"Perseus, you got to understand-"

"Understand what?!" Percy roared, his limit rapidly approaching. "Understand that a bunch of powerful immortals were afraid of me because I knew how to permanently kill immortals?!" All of the hunters gasped at his words, not believing that it was possible to permanently kill an immortal. "I could just have made an oat to never use it, but fucking Zeus was too power-hungry and paranoid to let it happen, just wanting my powers and the ones from Gaea for himself while all of you sat there and did nothing as my parents were killed and I was begging for any of you to help!"

Artemis had to mentally slap her head for her father ruining everything. If it weren't for his hunger for power and paranoia about someone dethroning him, they all could have not been dealing with Percy and his plan for revenge against all of them. However, a pang of pain in her chest made her acknowledge the fact that his words were true. He begged for anyone to intervene, but all of them were cowards and didn't do anything.

"It was just Zeus who did you wrong, Perseus," Artemis tried to reason more with herself than with him. "Most of us didn't want to help him, but we couldn't do anything about it. So just leave this personal vendetta of yours and come in peacefully before you take things too far,"

Percy looked disbelievingly at Artemis. The nerve to tell him that it was just Zeus and he could just leave this all behind if he turned himself in for what was torture for sure and then kill.

"You are crazy right?" Percy's question took Artemis by surprise. "If you seriously think that I'm just doing this for revenge then you aren't as smart as I had given you credit for," Percy shook his head, ignoring Artemis' face of anger. "Partly I am doing this because of revenge, but I'm also doing this because you gods have gone too far during your ruling. Killing innocents because they dared not worship you, not give you enough sacrifices, offend you, and so many more things that I could spend hours here saying every single one of them,"

Artemis didn't know what was his plan, but she surely didn't want to let him keep going because he knew how much of a great talker he was. He was so good at making people change their minds and see his points, making everyone see the wrong in the situation.

"You say that it was only Zeus' fault that caused everything that has happened to me for the last couple of months, but you are only partially correct," Percy started, the environment around them completely silent because of his powers. "It was all of you that has caused me and everybody else pain. Your petty behaviors for things so insignificant when you are gods, beings that are supposedly higher than mortals. So why do you act so petty and malignant because just one of them was doing something you didn't like that didn't deserve punishment? Why are you letting Zeus do whatever he wants when he is wrong? Why are you all killing this world?"

A silence fell upon the clearing. The hunters didn't know what to do with Percy's words. The oldest hunters knew of what the son of Poseidon was talking about while the younger ones had an idea since they had seen enough of the gods' doings.

"We aren't perfect, Perseus, we all make mistakes," Artemis weakly argued, but everyone knew that it was a weak claim.

"So after millennia of mistakes and not doing anything, don't you think that you all should have changed and fixed those mistakes?" Percy growled, his anger at an all-time high, barely restraining himself from rushing the goddess.

Artemis knew that her argument was weak but didn't predict for Percy to quickly counter it. All her years she thought of Percy as just a warrior and not someone with the mental capabilities of the children of Athena, she knew he was smarter than he let on, but to hear him so easily point out the Olympians' flaws and counter her arguments was a first.

"We are immortals, times may change, but we don't," She softly spoke, barely above a whisper but they could all hear it.

"Then your reign has been for too long and must give away for a new generation," Percy stated in the coldest tone possible, one that he had only used with Kronos and Luke.

The hunters and goddess shivered at the coldness and darkness of his tone. They all could now clearly understand his entire reason for why he was going to go to war against the Olympians without even having to ask. It suffices to say that if Thalia hadn't been already convinced, then she was for sure now after his words. She had been wronged by the gods too many times, so she had personal experiences of what he was talking about it.

Artemis didn't reply to his statement. Sure, she was aware of what the gods and goddesses had done over the years, but for them to go as far as to push their greatest hero and turn him into a villain was unbelievable. Percy was one of the only few males she had come to respect his judgment and character, so she was going to spend some time thinking about his words after this encounter. Maybe he was right and the gods had come too far and was time for change, but that was a thought for after this situation with Percy.

"Please, Perseus, don't make me do this," Artemis tried to plead, but she knew that it was useless whenever the son of Poseidon had already his mind set on something, especially after she killed his parents. "I don't want this to end too badly for you,"

Percy's final string of patience and restraint snapped at her words, causing the white part of his hair along with his eyes to start glowing with power. "The only one who will end up badly is you, Artemis," He spat before firing a beam of pure energy at the goddess of the Moon, starting a battle that will be talking for the rest of eternity.

Artemis' eyes widened at the incoming beam of energy. Even though she wasn't sure what it was, she was more than willing to bet that it would cause severe damage if it were to impact her. She quickly charged her godly energy into her arrow and fired it into the beam, causing a tremendous explosion. The shockwave sent all of the hunters back a couple of meters while the immortals remained standing, using their enhanced senses to figure out where the other was.

"Seen from the amount of power put behind that attack I can surely assume that you became immortal, correct?" Artemis commented, nervous about his words if her assumption was true.

"Let's just say that beings above our power really want me to end the Olympians' reign and bring a new generation of rulers to guide this planet and have given me the skills and tools necessary to achieve that," Percy responded as he used his power to clear the air around them. "However, as rules dictate, we can't go full out in the presence of mortals," Percy signaled to the hunters behind her, some were getting up while others were just groaning and lying on the ground.

Artemis internally cursed at hearing him knowing full well of the laws. She was slightly hoping that he didn't know and actually go strong against her so that the laws of nature would punish him, but now that dream was broken and she could only hope that her natural skills were still there after having years without going full out. The last time she went full out with her skills in the presence of mortals was against Atlas, so her skills were a bit rusty if anything while she didn't doubt that Percy had spent those last couple of months training.

The goddess of the Moon summoned her hunting knives and took a low pose, one she normally used as a hunter to be as little of a target as possible. The younger immortal summoned Riptide back to him and switched his physical age to his twelve-year-old body. It was very similar to when he was a mortal at 12 years old, just that he wasn't scrawny and just had the body of a physically active 12-year-old.

Artemis mentally cursed once again at seeing Percy thinking clearly over her advance on having a smaller body, however, she had to give him credit for thinking about it, probably even before encountering her today. There was no doubt that Percy had been looking forward to the day of fighting the killer of his parents.

"You are smarter than we have given you credit for," Artemis commented in an attempt to generate more time and come up with a plan.

Percy humorlessly chuckled as both of them started circling around each other. "It was just a front so that the airhead wouldn't have another reason to kill me. I just let Annabeth do the thinking as well because I was foolishly in love with her, so it was a win-win back then. Not to mention that it makes the opponent underestimate me,"

Artemis was really surprised by his thinking. If it weren't for the fact that he was fighting her, she could have praised his cunning thinking, almost if not better than the thinking of a child of Athena. To be able to last 5 years fooling everyone about his mental capabilities deserved praise, but that would only happen if they were in different circumstances than the one they found themselves in.

"So, did you get your domain from Hyperions'?" Artemis asked, genuinely curious for once.

Percy shook his head. "No, that domain will be reserved for someone else in the future. I was given a much stronger one," Percy then appeared right in front of her without any flashing or showing his true form, he just appeared in front of her.

Artemis was momentarily surprised but was quick to bring her knives up in an X form to block the sword from slicing her diagonal from her left shoulder to her right hip. She was frightened by the amount of force behind his slash. It had been powerful enough to make her feet create small craters around them.

"I was given the domain of everything," Percy smirked at the confused expression on her face.

"What?"

"Let me explain it to you,milady," Percy hissed at the last words. "It means that I can control any domain in existence,"

Artemis' blood ran cold at his words. If what Percy was saying was right, then the war was almost already won by him before it even started. Maybe Percy didn't realize it yet, but he could basically nullify their powers by his control over them if the power she sensed from him was anything to go by.

"But don't worry, I won't stop you from using your powers," Percy's smirk disappeared and his expression was replaced by an emotionelss one. "I want to make this as fair and clean as possible. Let everyone know that I don't need to stop your powers in order to beat you,"

The goddess didn't know if it was good or bad news. The fact that she was going to be let use of her powers as in regular battles was good, but hearing the reason behind it wasn't. It only made her think that he was really trained and was willing to let her use her powers to make a statement that his powers weren't necessary to defeat her.

"How did you get it?" Artemis gritted as she put force on her arms, preventing his blade from coming closer, her feet digging into the ground from the force behind his sword. "There is no one in existence who can control all domains, so how did you?"

Percy only chuckled before Spartan kicked her a couple of meters back. "Now Artemis, that would be telling and would take off the fun of it"

The Moon goddess wheezed as she tried to get as much aether on her lungs. She had to give Percy credit for being the only one in recent years of being capable of hitting her so hard that the aether was forced out of her lungs. However, she was in a fight that could very much signify her own life as well as the lives of her hunters.

"Don't think that just because you are now immortal you can defeat me," Artemis tried to sound confident to reassure her hunters when she saw their apprehensive looks. "You may have defeated giants and Titans, but you got to remember that we defeated them once before,"

Percy's emotionless face dropped and was swapped for one of anger. "And there it goes your fucking pride and boastfulness. You can't even acknowledge that for you isn't true," Artemis didn't expect his sudden reply and could only blink. "You weren't alive when the Olympians overthrew the Titans, which was their own fault for starting a war, and with the giants, you required the help of demigods to defeat them just as it happened a couple of months ago and last year,"

The son of Poseidon suddenly disappeared, causing Artemis to focus on her senses right in time to spot him on her right side. The goddess rolled underneath his strike while sending one of her own to his knee, however, what she didn't expect was for him to be so quick and jump back, avoiding her attack.

"Gotta give you some credit, Perseus," Artemis said as she got to her feet. "You are quicker than most immortals,"

Percy's response was a malignant chuckle, one that sent shivers down the spines of the hunters and the goddess. "Oh, trust me, Artemis, this is nothing compared to what I can do,"

Artemis didn't have time to properly process his words when Percy charged at her, forcing her to sidestep his swing but couldn't use the opportunity to retaliate since he didn't over-extend as she was hoping for. She had to momentarily scold herself for not remembering that Percy was the best swordsman in the last millennium and possibly history since he was now immortal.

The goddess knew that his advantage over his reach with his sword was going to be bad for her pretty soon. So, disappearing her knives, she conjured one of her first and most ancient weapons: A silver spear. Many don't know this, but hunting in ancient times had been done with spears and it fell under her domain. The only spear wielder better than her was Athena and Triton since the prince of the seas taught Athena.

Percy was momentarily surprised at seeing Artemis change from her familiar silver knives to a simple, silver spear. It didn't matter what weapon the goddess used, he was still going to defeat her and make a statement with it.

Before the younger immortal could comment, the older immortal charged at him. Percy twisted his body to the side while keeping his sword between the spear and himself to bloke any secondary intention from the goddess. Artemis mentally cursed at seeing how smart the son of Poseidon was to prevent her from dealing any damage to him when she pulled her spear back, only being deflected by his sword.

As their fight went on, the hunters were seriously shocked and in awe by the show of power and skill. They had never seen their mistress use a spear and were all eager to see how good she was with it against the best swordsman alive. Thalia for her part had to give the goddess credit for how well and perfectly she was wielding her spear, however, she could still see that Percy was the better one at close-range combat.

Their blocks and parries were powered by their immortal strength, sending showers of sparks and small shockwaves throughout the area. All the animals in a 2-mile radius had fled from the area to seek refuge while the hunters were behind trees and boulders to avoid being caught in their fight. As much as they hated to admit it, none of them could go against Percy and only their mistress could fight for them.

The path of trees had been clear by their show of skills and power. Craters and debris littered the area. The air had a heavy feeling of their power, making it hard for the hunters to breathe comfortably.

The son of Poseidon had to momentarily summon a shield with his left arm to block a knife that the goddess had summoned. The impact of the shield and knife had so much force that Percy's feet were forced into the ground a couple of inches while Artemis was pushed back a meter or two.

"You ready to give up?" Percy taunted with the knowledge that it would trigger the goddess. "Because I am just finishing warming up,"

Even though Artemis didn't show any emotions besides her emotionless face, she was panicking inside. She knew that Percy wasn't still going full-on out in their fight. She could tell that his movements were much faster than hers and that was slowly showing his true skills with his sword. She had tried to finish the fight early by summoning one of her knives and stabbing the son of Poseidon, but she was surprised to see him summon a shield as easily as she did her knife.

"I can do this all day," Artemis gritted, her pride not letting her acknowledge that the person in front would defeat her. "I have millennia of experience and you have at most 2 months," Percy didn't correct her last statement and just resumed their fighting.

Artemis went for a stab at his ribcage with enough force behind it that would break regular metal. Percy twisted his body and changed his footing to avoid the stab and brought Riptide down over her spear to redirect it to the ground just before hitting the goddess with his shield.

The goddess of the Moon didn't expect him to be so aggressive and was momentarily shocked when she got a face full of his bronze shield. She skidded back a couple of meters before rolling to a crouching pose, her face slightly panging from the hit. She then felt the warm sensation of her ichor going down her nose and into her lips.

"You are the first one in millennia to make me bleed," Artemis conceded as she wiped off the ichor. "But you are still far from defeating me,"

Percy didn't bother with responding and just charged at the goddess. He made a faint to her right side but Artemis didn't fall for it and just jumped back before receiving another shield to the face. She knew by that moment that Percy was just trying to humiliate her and not actually taking her seriously.

"Come on! Fight seriously or I'm going to kill you before we get started!" Artemis growled, her anger flaring up as her ego was being made fun of.

"If that's what you want," Percy then vanished his shield before summoning the black dagger that Nyx and Erebus had gifted him and Zoe. "Then don't come crying saying that I was too harsh,"

Artemis didn't make any response other than a sneer on her face. She was apprehensive of the dagger since she could feel darkness radiating off it. She had been around her uncle Hades enough to know the feeling of his dark weapons, so she was slightly worried about how he was able to wield the dagger if only beings of the dark could use them.

The goddess summoned a dagger to her left hand while her spear returned to her. She hadn't spent as much time using a dagger along with a spear, but she was proficient enough to be better than most professionals. However, she was doing it for the fact that Percy was the best at close combat and had another weapon over her. She could use her dagger to block his when necessary.

Artemis then felt the rush of her domain of the Moon course through her body as the night finally fell and gave away for the night. She had been so focused on keeping up with Percy that she had forgotten about night coming on. A small smirk came to her face as she felt her power increasing and all of her aches disappearing.

"Don't worry, I'm about to kick your ass and then drag you to Olympus to answer for your crimes," Artemis stated, much more confident than before but there was still regret in her words.

Percy only disappointedly shook his head. He was aware of the night coming on and even if it still wasn't a full moon, it was close to it, making Artemis more powerful than before. It wasn't as if he was scared of her sudden increase in power, but he was aware that it can turn the tide of their fight if he got cocky.

The Moon goddess didn't waste another second before flashing right behind him, spear raised in position to stab him across his chest. Much to her surprise, the younger immortal turned around faster than she could blink and redirected her spear to the ground before slashing across her chest with his dagger, drawing a hiss and a long line of ruptured flesh and a steady stream of ichor running out from the wound.

The moment after she felt the familiar but unpleasant feeling of pain across her chest she immediately backed away a couple of meters, a hand on her injury while never taking her eyes off the danger in front of her. It had been millennia since such an injury had been cast on her, and as much as she would like to deny it, Percy had been the only person to ever give her such a fight besides her own sister, Athena, and brother, Apollo.

However, the shocking news about her injury came when she tried to use the moonlight to heal the long gash across her chest, but the injury didn't close nor stop the ichor from spilling out. She was about to panic when Percy's words made her blood run cold.

"Don't worry too much about your injuries," Percy's tone was happy, almost to a maniacal point. "Any wounds inflicted by this dagger can only heal with time as if you were a regular immortal or by another dark being,"

The goddess mentally swore. The long slash across her chest was nothing more than an annoyance at that point, but further down the line of their fight, it would become a liability by making her slower.

Before Artemis could ponder over her injury anymore, Percy resumed their fighting by upping up the pace. He moved faster than any immortal she had seen, probably as fast as Hermes, but still not upping his speed to break the rules when fighting in front of mortals.

The next moment, Percy was standing in front of her, his stance relaxed and an emotionless expression on his face. She was momentarily confused as to why he was so relaxed but then she noticed something that made her blood run even more cold. She felt a painful and aching pain on her lower abdomen before the familiar sensation of warmth seeping out of her and into her skin, meaning only one thing; ichor was running out of her abdomen and down from her waist to her legs.

The sudden feeling of pain and loss of energy made her legs buckle underneath her and kneel in front of the sea-green and purple-galaxy-eyed immortal. Her breathing was ragged; cold sweat ran down her face and onto her neck from the loss of ichor; her senses became dull and could barely register what was happening around her.

When the hunters saw that Percy had made a long gash across their mistress' chest, their nerves skyrocketed and their blood ran cold. Their former savior had just injured their goddess as if he was fighting with anybody and not an immortal and very skillful goddess. However, they received a greater shock when one moment both of them were standing and the next Artemis was kneeling in front of Percy, hands on her waist, covered in ichor and much more than the amount that was seeping out of the wound in her chest. A moment later, they noticed the new slash across her abdomen, one much longer and deeper than the one across her chest.

All of the hunters were so much in shock at what they were seeing that none of them could say a word or do anything to help their goddess. Their lieutenant on the other hand was having an internal battle. On one hand, she was slightly scared of seeing the person she cared about the most being so cruel and cold to her mistress. On the other hand, she was happy that Artemis was being served justice and paying for her unjust actions in killing Percy's parents and betraying him.

The son of Poseidon slowly walked up to Artemis before kneeling in front of her. His twelve-year-old body still a bit bigger than her own 12-year-old form. Her silver orbs, almost completely dull of their regular silver shine, looked up at his own that shinned full of power. The white part of his hair glowed and moved along with the energy surrounding his body. Energy so powerful that she couldn't compare it to anybody's, not even the big three at this point. She could feel his power suffocating her own, almost as if daring her to push back, but she didn't, all she could do was submit to his greater power. She didn't like it, her own pride and ego were telling her to rebel and not lose her dignity, but the part of her, the wild part which understood the food pyramid, knew that she had no hope of going against him.

Just when her own pride and ego were about to win the internal battle, she saw into his eyes the same expression that he had after she had killed both of his parents: Rage, pure and unfathomable rage. She knew in that instant, that her life lingered in a very thin thread that could be snapped if she rebelled.

"You know something, Artemis," Percy spoke after a tense moment of silence.

Artemis didn't trust her voice to speak a coherent response and just shook her head.

"I used to respect you much more than the other Olympians... with the exception of Hestia, of course," Percy stated, his angry expression breaking, giving away to one of disappointment and regret. She didn't know why, but his expression hit her unlike any other she had seen, making her heart pang in guilt and shame. "You were so down to Earth, not letting your own ego and pride get in the way of your job. Maybe just with males but that is understandable. I myself can admit that we are horrible beings and have caused too much damage to society, to women primarily. But you should know that there are also women that have caused the same amount of damage as males or even worse," His words were stern and cold, hitting her hard as a hammer to the head.

Artemis only slumped her head in shame and regret. His words made it clear that she had lost herself this last couple of months, maybe even years if she thought more. She knew that there were women out there who could be as cruel if not worse than males, but her beliefs made her ignorant of them.

"But let me tell you this before I proceed with what is going to happen regardless of anything," Percy spoke, his face in an expression as if debating with himself. "I wouldn't have killed you or have done anything as this if you just wouldn't have killed her," Percy didn't need to clarify who because it was obvious who he was talking about. "I know that you are just the one who followed orders and it was the fuckingkingof the gods that was behind everything. But you had to follow his orders even when you were against it when I told you that she was pregnant, ruining every chance of living," His tone was now harsh and full of anger. "I know that Zeus' electricity made you release the arrow," Artemis' head went up at that. "But it was still you that aimed the arrow at her in your own will,"

Artemis could only flinch at his words, the mental image of what she did still fresh in her mind, one of the curses of being immortal and having an almost perfect memory. She remembered how she denied killing the woman because she was pregnant, but she ultimately aimed her bow at the woman even with Percy's desperate pleas to leave her alone since he didn't know how to transfer his powers to Zeus. She knew that Percy would do anything to protect his mother, so she knew that he was telling the truth, but her father's temper got the better of him, making her release the arrow, even if by accident, and her aim was never off.

She was brought out of her thoughts by the sudden cold and sharp sensation on her neck. She looked down and saw the dark dagger right on her jugular, giving her goosebumps and her heart to quicken.

"Don't be afraid of death, Artemis," Percy spoke in a surprisingly soothing tone. "I know that you immortals have a fear of dying permanently even if you can regenerate and form your bodies after some time, but don't worry... I won't let your body reform in Tartarus and I'll throw your essence in the void of Chaos," His word sent a new sensation of fear across her body even if his tone never wavered from its original tone.

Just as when she felt the blade slicing the first layer of her skin, it suddenly stopped and was followed by a shout of pain from Percy. She looked up to notice the tip of a familiar golden arrow sprouting from his left shoulder. The son of Poseidon quickly rolled to the side just in time to avoid another arrow directed at his other shoulder.

"Move away from her!" The voice of her brother echoed through the trees around the area. "Or I will kill you!"

Percy just grunted in response as he used his own powers to extract the arrow with a swirl of purple energy and heal the wound. Everybody was shocked at seeing his powers for the first time and how easily he had controlled them almost unconsciously.

The young immortal let out a sigh of frustration as he twirled Riptide on his hand. "Apollo, I swear that you are getting more annoying than before, and that is saying something,"

The god of the Sun didn't react to the young immortal's remark and kept his bow trained on him. "Surrender now and come peacefully with me to Olympus or-"

"Or what? You will kill me? Torture me?" Percy laughed at his own words. "Come on, you can't probably do worse than Tartarus," His tone turned dark, and a cold and dense sensation fell across the area, making them shiver.

"Doesn't matters, you are to come with me-"

"Like shit am I going with you!" Percy laughed as he mindlessly swatted an arrow out of the air from the god. "You are mental if you think I am going to give up and let you gods continue ruining this world. I'll make sure to eradicate this Earth from all of you,"

Apollo to his credit didn't show any visual evidence of being affected by his words. "Yes, you won't win this, Percy. If you think you can possibly go up against 11 of us then you have clearly gone mental,"

"Oh, but he isn't alone," A voice suddenly came from their side within the trees. "He has me and several others having his back," The caramel-brown-haired primordial heiress came out from the tree line and into the small clearing that Percy and Artemis had created from their battle.

"Zoe, what are you doing here?"

Zoe only sent him a glare telling him that he was in trouble. "I could ask you the same thing, Percy. You had used worried after you disappeared full of anger hours ago!" Zoe shouted at her boyfriend, only receiving a sheepish look from her boyfriend. "Doesn't matter now, what matters is them at the moment," She signaled to Apollo and an already-standing Artemis, her wounds having been healed by Apollo.

"Zo-Zoe?" The broken and shaky voice of a blonde and blue-eyed huntress broke in. "H-how?"

The primordial heiress huffed while casting a glance at the gods. "You can ask them. After all, it was their father who revived me and sent me down to Tartarus, where Percy rescued me," She sent a small and sad smile at the huntress. "It's good to see you once again, Atalanta,"

The huntress only in response tried to run up to her friend but a hand made out of dirt held her back. She momentarily panicked at it but once she cast a look at her friend, she only saw a look of regret, only confusing her.

"Sorry, but you nor any of the huntress can get involved in this now," Zoe flicked her hand and the hand dragged her back to the rest of the huntress before creating a small wall made out of rocks and earth.

Artemis and Apollo were quick to understand what was happening while the hunters were absolutely confused.

"You got Gaea's domains," Artemis whispered, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear.

For many weeks, the topic of Gaea's powers had been the main conversation at Olympus. They were all wondering what had happened to Gaea's domains after they had analyzed Percy and found out that he didn't have them, only Hyperion's domains. Artemis and Apollo were the only ones who knew about Zoe but neither ever thought that she would receive them.

Zoe only sweetly smiled as she flicked her hand and a sword and shield made out of celestial bronze shot out of the Earth and into her hands.

"But how? You weren't on the field fighting her and only Perseus was there covered in silver ichor after Gaea disappeared," Artemis pointed out, making the hunters confused but nodding at their mistress statement at seeing it made sense.

"Well, my sweet boyfriend here," She signaled to Percy with her shield hand, a genuine smile on her face. "Past Gaea's domain to me after he defeated her,"

Not only her response, but her words meaning that Percy was her boyfriend, caused almost all of them to gap at her. Artemis more than anybody else was crushed and shattered by her words, finally realizing that there was no turning back for Zoe anymore and was now loyal to Percy and his crusade. However, there was some feeling of anger and jealousy, but she quickly dismissed it to never being able to have her with her once again.

Apollo only shook his head in disbelief at what he was hearing. Never in his entire immortal life would he have thought that a primordial's domain would be given away to someone, even less Zoe out of all people. Things definitely changed completely after Percy's appearance in the supernatural and divine world.

"How could you do this?" Artemis pleaded, not truly believing what she was seeing. "After everything that I had done for you?"

Zoe's expression turned dark and regretful. "You may have saved me and given me a home for over two millennia, but things are different," She sadly shook her head. "You have changed. Killing any man that crossed your path just because of it, being much crueler to your hunters, and finally, killing Percy's innocent parents because you were afraid of your father instead of doing the correct thing. You changed from the goddess and leader I knew and came to respect. You are a disappointment,"

Artemis winced, Zoe's words cutting her as if Percy's blade had been dragged across her chest once again. Apollo didn't know how to react to that statement but knew she was telling the truth, he didn't have to be the god of truth to know it, he had been witness to his sister's atrocious actions against innocent men.

Before either of the two Olympians could say a word, Zoe flicked her shield hand, throwing a boulder at the gods, and initiating a new round of fighting.

Apollo quickly started shooting arrows at an almost unseeable speed, but all of his arrows were either dodged, swatted away, or blocked by his adversaries. Artemis for her part engaged in a close combat battle against Percy while Zoe took a more defensive role, creating walls of rocks and manipulating the area to their advantage.

Both Olympian gods were astonished by how perfectly synchronized Percy and Zoe were. If one left an opening, the other would immediately block it even before it was open. It was clear to them that they had trained together a lot, up to the point of knowing each other's blind spots and weak points, covering them even before they showed them.

The siblings tried as best as they could with mortals present to defeat Zoe and Percy, but they were met with greater power and skills. They noticed that Percy was stronger than Zoe, but Zoe's power wasn't anything to slouch at. Her control over her powers, strength, skills, and speed were up there with advanced immortals. They knew that she wasn't a complete immortal because if she were, the battle would have gone in a completely different direction. Just the power of a minor primordial was enough to defeat several gods, now a much more powerful one as Zoe's domains, an original one, she could defeat the entire council if properly trained. They took a moment to mentally thank the fates for this.

Their battle was on a whole other level than what the hunters had witnessed with Percy and Artemis. This battle was a mixture of powers and skills mixed with coordination with their respective partner. The use of Zoe and Apollo's domains at each other to crash in explosions of powers. Percy and Artemis' show of skills emitting sparks and shockwaves with each of their blows being traded or blocked.

With every arrow that Apollo shot with enough energy behind it to destroy a house, it was met with a wall of rocks thick and strong enough to nullify each of them. Every slash or hit at Artemis from Percy was met with a beam of light from Apollo to heal and keep her going.

It all eventually became undone when Percy and Zoe started moving slightly faster than before, catching them off guard. A spear made out of rock pierced Apollo's right shoulder, forcing him to drop his bow, and a slash from Percy at Artemis' left side of her torso to drop her dagger before being followed by a knee to the face, making her stagger a couple of steps back before dropping to her knees.

Zoe quickly wrapped the two Olympians in binds made out of rock before being reinforced by Percy's energy and being changed to celestial bronze. Apollo and Artemis couldn't even properly react to Percy's powers in changing the rocks to celestial bronze because their powers were immediately decreased, up to the point of being rendered mortals.

The show of sparks and explosions ended, giving the hunters a chance to properly see what was happening. They were shocked at seeing their mistress and brother chained to the ground. Their bodies were slightly soaked in ichor and increasing, making them realize that Percy and Zoe were much stronger than they initially believed.

"You know, I said that I would let you use your powers," Percy stated, loud enough for everybody to hear. "But I never said anything about me not using mine,"

The gods knew that their sudden increase in speed was because of him, but they weren't entirely sure of how.

"Let me ask you something, Apollo, since you are the god of knowledge," Percy signaled to the god of the Sun, only to be met with a snarl. "Why do you think that our grandfather was the king of the Titans and so feared?"

The god's hostile expression changed to one of bewilderment.

"What?"

"Yeah, why was Kronos so feared?"

Apollo was quiet for a few seconds before answering. "Because he was the most skilled and strongest Titan?" He unsurely responded, not sure what his question was leading to.

"Yes, but why was he the strongest Titan?" Percy's expression was one of curiousness while Zoe's was a void of expression.

"Because he was the Ti... Titan of time," Apollo responded, his eyes widened at seeing where Percy was going with this.

Artemis' eyes widened at understanding while the hunters were still confused.

"Yes, when I told Artemis that I could control any domain, I meantanydomain," Percy sinisterly smiled. "It almost includes natural forces, such astime,"

The hunters gasped at his words. They were all aware that the only reason why Percy's fight against the Titan king was harder since he was fighting against time, making him slower than the king of the Titan, dragging their battle longer than anybody else witnessed.

"So I just slowed time by a fourth, making it seem for you and everybody else as if we just moved faster," Percy said before walking back to his girlfriend. "However, as much as I am dying to kill you both, it won't be today,"

The godly siblings didn't know if they should be really glad about it, not really knowing their intentions behind it.

"I want you both to be there at the time that I bring you Olympians down to your knees and make you suffer for all that you have done," Percy stated, his tone cold. "And until I deem it worth it, I will stop your suffering and make you fade to be judged by Chaos in the realm of the faded,"

"Come on, it's time to go," Zoe spoke after a long moment of tense silence. "We need to leave before you lose it and kill them,"

Percy grudgingly nodded and opened up a portal for them to leave. After Zoe walked through it, he cast a look at the hunters seeking the familiar lightning-blue-eyed girl. The moment Thalia met his gaze, he sent her a mental message.

"Keep doing what you are doing and wait for the time that I come back for you,"Thalia slightly shivered at his soothing and warm voice in her head, only giving him an almost unnoticeable nod.

Percy then walked through the portal, leaving behind two chained gods and a group of baffled and scared maidens. One of them left to I-Message Athena and tell her about the events of that afternoon/night.

The rest of the hunters went ahead and tried to help the two Olympian gods out of the chains but not even with their combined efforts were they able to break through them, leaving the siblings the only option of being taken to Olympus for Hephaestus to get rid of the chains.

As soon as Percy came through the portal, Zoe tackled him to the ground with her arms and legs wrapped around him. He could hear her soft sobs and feel the wetness of her tears soaking his shirt. He comfortably placed one hand on the back of her head while the other rubbed soothing circles on her back.

"Please don't do that ever again," Zoe softly pleaded, her voice full of raw emotions and vulnerability. "I know that what I told you wasn't fair, but please don't leave without talking about it with me properly,"

Percy knew at that moment how concerned she had been for him. He had just gotten up and left, full of fury just wanting to release it, however, what he didn't think was how it would affect Zoe. He mentally chastised himself for being such an idiot and not thinking about Zoe's feelings about the entire situation.

"I promise that I'll talk to you about it," He promised as he teleported them to their bed with their clothes already changed. "Now, let's just sleep and we will talk about it tomorrow,"

Timeskip( 12 hours Tartarus, 1.7 hours Earth)

It was the next day and Percy was sitting in the living room in The House of Night after an entire morning of emotional conversation with Zoe about his actions before they got serious and talked about his wives' issue. He wasn't happy about it by any means, but he understood their reasoning behind it besides it just being a plain order from the mother of creation.

The son of Poseidon had to reluctantly agree with her and told her that he would always look for her approval of the other two wives. Zoe was happy that he was apologetic about it even if she was the one who told him, so she felt much better about it after those words and how she would always be first even with two other wives.

"You feeling alright?"

The familiar, gentle, and sweet voice of the Titaness broke him out of his thoughts. "Yeah, as best as I can do with the entire having three wives situation," He sighed tiredly as he felt the couch dip beside him.

"Well, you aren't really taking it all that well," Calypso joked as she sat on her knees next to him, close enough to feel his warmth. "Most men would be jumping and feeling the happiest in their life. You, on the other hand, are the complete opposite,"

Percy groaned while rubbing his face. "Yeah, well I'm not like most men," He turned to look at her, momentarily surprised by how close her face was to his but didn't back away. "I know how it feels when someone cheats on you and that is something that I would never want anybody to feel, Zoe and whoever the other two I get with most. I feel like having more than one wife is just not right,"

The Titaness knew Percy well enough to know his struggle. "Well, you got to see it from a different point of view," She suggested.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well, in ancient times, it was common for powerful leaders to have more than one partner," Calypso simply responded as laid her head on his shoulder, feeling how tensed he was for a moment before he relaxed, forming a small smile on her lips. "You were raised in a time where having more than one partner is wrong, which is how it is supposed to be, but you gotta understand that it is necessary for you because of how dangerous it can be with you only having one wife,"

The son of Poseidon knew that Calypso's words were true, but it still felt wrong for him. He knew that his morals were getting in the way and it would take some time for him to be okay with it, but he still needed to find another two women who would become his wives. He didn't only have to think about if they were hot and their personality, but also of their ability to be queens and do their job right, he needed to know that he could rely on them more than anybody else.

"I know what you mean," Percy sighed in defeat. "But it will take some time for me to get used to the idea of having two more women who I am intimate with other than Zoe,"

Calypso nodded as she slowly dragged one of her hands up and down his right arm, sending shivers all through his body. "Of course, nobody is pressuring you and there is still time for you to properly meet whoever it is that they are becoming your wives," She then moved over to have her lips over his ear and huskily whispered. "Or maybe you have already met them and are just waiting for you,"

Percy shivered at Calypso's husky tone and warm breath on his ear. He was more than aware that Calypso was a bomb beauty, but he couldn't make a move so fast just after learning about needing two other partners.

"I will be here to help you with anything you need," The Titaness moved her head back to his shoulder while her hand still rubbed his arm. "And when I say anything, I meananything," She silently giggled at sensing Percy's shuddering at her words.

"A-alright, Caly," He stuttered, his face flushed white and red, giving him a more pinkish tone than regular humans. "I'll have that in mind,"

It was a warm, silent night on the Coast of Long Island. Most of the demigods were at the campfire for the singalong while a small group of them were on the old council of the cloven elders. Their meeting was led by the daughters of Demeter and Hecate.

"I got some news for all of you," Lou started as she created an image of the blueprints that Percy had given her earlier that day. "Here he had the plans for the city that Percy is planning on construction for the new rulers and another one for their children as well as a camp near it,"

All of the ones present were wide-eyed at seeing the blueprints. They noticed that many of the places just said the names of the buildings but there weren't any designs for them.

"As you can see, almost all of them, if not all, don't have a design," Katie continued as she noticed the curious and confused looks of her friends. "Percy told us that he wants the city to be designed mostly by demigods and leave some spaces for some immortals to design their own places, be it their homes, shops, etc... However, the place that we demigods can completely design on our own is the new city designed only for demigods and their families,"

"From what Percy told us as of now since there isn't any blueprint, only plans, the city will be somewhat like New Rome. We will have a government like then, a barrier stronger than the one here, and basically our own little country that will be run by us," Lou continued as she created a possible image of what the city could be while changing it every now and then. "This city will be run by demigods and will be a mixture of Greek and Roman demigods while the city for the gods will be open for everyone with divine blood with certain restrictions,"

Everyone attending was in awe by how far Percy's plans were going. They knew that him only being the new leader will most surely mean peace for themselves and across the globe with a few events happening here and there, but to see that he was not forgetting them was still surprising.

"So you mean to tell us that we will have a place to finally live without the threat of being killed by monsters?" Clarisse was the first to speak. "How will that work?"

"From what he told us, there will be jobs there besides the basic training ones. There will be regular education, maintenance, food, a way for us to make regular mortal money as here with the strawberries, and a few other things that he has left mostly to us," Katie responded, a big smile on her face as she thought of what the city will mean for them and future generations.

"What does he want from us?" Malcolm asked. "Call me paranoid or whatever, but I know that something as incredible as that doesn't come free,"

Katie and Lou nodded but it was surprisingly answered by Clarisse.

"He doesn't want us to interfere as Lou and Katie had stated in our first meeting a month ago,"

"That is correct, so no supporting the gods nor anyone on their side,"

There was a moment of silence as they thought about Percy's plans for them.

"Where is this city going to be built?" Malcolm asked.

"We only know that the city for gods will be in Washington, ours will be for us to decide but he told me that he would prefer for us to remain near in case of any emergency," Lou answered, remembering how she had asked him where the city was going to be built.

"So he wants to be as far away from the gods then?" Malcolm pointed out.

"He does, besides, he says it will all be a new start for everyone," Katie responded before looking around, a look of apprehension on her face but a confident nod from Lou made her continue. "He also says that we should talk to some demigods who are willing to help with this new project but that we should keep it as quiet as possible. We need demigods that are on neutral ground and will help after the war against the Olympians is done,"

They were silent for a few more seconds before discussing a few things between themselves before leaving for their cabins, all having hopes for Percy's plans for a better future led by a new generation of immortals.

Line Break

After the weird and uncomfortable conversation with the Titaness and her very effective seduction techniques, Percy headed over to the training grounds for a quick session to clear up his mind.

The last 24 hours had given him a lot to think about and make new plans about. He had never foreseen the possibility of needing to have more than one wife, so he had to work with that idea now and the new possible candidate for a second wife. He wasn't sure how Zoe was going to take it when he would tell her that he was considering Calypso for the role, but he was sure that the primordial heiress would prefer for the other two females to be someone familiar and not a complete stranger, at least that was he would prefer if he was in her position, but will ask before deciding anything.

As soon as he was outside, Percy concentrated on his powers and slowly closed his eyes. His hair started moving along with the aura of galaxy-purple energy that surrounded his body and the part of his white hair started glowing. The area around him started to become somewhat distorted by the incredible amount of power emitting off him but not enough to break reality, which was something that he had seen Nyx and Erebus do every once in a while when they got serious on spars. He could feel every single detail and energy around him, up to all the atoms waiting for his command, to either be moved around or be changed into whatever he wanted them to become.

The son of Poseidon kept his concentration, only letting his instincts guide him and play along with his powers to get more acquaintance with. He could control anything he wanted, but there were some domains or elements that didn't come as easily to him. For instance, water, fire, time, earth, and manipulation of matter came easy to him, however, controlling metals and manipulating them into a specific form was slightly harder, it wasn't impossible, but it took him a bit more concentration. Darkness and light had become his regular to-go power when he already mastered an element, so they were two of his strongest elements right behind the ones he had already mastered.

Before Percy could go further into manipulating celestial bronze and imperial gold, he felt two foreign but very powerful presences enter The House of Night. Their power was so massive that he could only compare them to Nyx and Erebus but just to a lesser degree, but it was enough to make him recognize that they were primordials.

The young immortal broke his concentration the moment he figured out the domains of the primordials. Their domain was so familiar once he thought about it that he had to mentally slap himself for not recognizing it at first. Their auras were those that made him feel safe and comfortable even prior to discovering he was a demigod.

"Perseus, we want you to meet some of our family members," Nyx spoke as she along with her husband and another couple came into the training grounds. "I can see that you have already figured it out from just the look on your face," She commented with a proud smile on her face.

"Yes," Percy breathed out as he took in the appearances of the middle-aged couple. "It's an honor to meet you, Lord Pontus and Lady Thalassa," He bowed in respect only to be stopped by a raised hand from the lady.

"No need to bow to us, Perseus," The lady had long raven-black hair, tanned skin, and aqua eyes. The lady was tall, probably as tall as him but just an inch or two shorter. She was dressed in a regular human summer dress. "You are a child of the seas and we see you as one of our own even if your father's ichor doesn't run through your veins no more,"

"That is correct, Perseus, so there is no need to show respect to us when we have seen how respectful you have been to our domain," The man agreed and Percy had to stop himself from thinking the man was his father. The man was almost a replica of his father but with different facial features. They had the same body build, eyes, hair, and even clothes choices. The only difference was his round nose, not-so-prominent cheekbones, and thinner lips. "You have helped the seas even before you discovered you were a demigod by helping clean us up and even more after you found out about your heritage. You are the best demigod in history from all sea deities and we are happy that you represented us even if you didn't know it,"

Percy was speechless to say the least. Never in his life would he have ever imagined meeting the personification of the seas in real life. Maybe his father was the ruler of the seas, but he wasn't the domain itself, it was the couple standing in front of him. The literary could will his powers away and they wouldn't respond to his father, they had actually decided and accepted him as the king of their domains.

"I can see that your meeting them has rendered you speechless," Erebus teased as he noticed the look of respect and idolization on his face. "Maybe we should take this inside so he is sitting down and doesn't faint,"

The primordials chuckled while Percy finally came out of his shock, only sending a glare at the embodiment of darkness. They eventually made their way inside while Percy asked the couple questions. One of them was if Aphrodite was actually born from the seas or if she was actually the daughter of Zeus. He wasn't really shocked at hearing that Aphrodite was basically their daughter and had a conversation with her every now and then.

"So, not that I am complaining or anything, but why are you here so far from your domain?"

The couple shared a look before looking back at the young immortal. "We have come to realize that with this new war and ongoing issues, we want to have someone to represent us in your new council that will be established later on. Just like your father was with the Olympians, we want one to belong to the new council and present us in this oncoming war," Pontus explained while receiving a nod from Percy and the dark couple.

"I'm guessing that you two are only the start and the rest will also follow?" He asked, a bit suspicious that it would happen as well.

"Yes, we have talked with the rest of the family and came up with that solution to make things better in the council. One representing a couple or individual in this new council will make things easier and much more organized instead of just you representing us all. You will be the leader and lead them, but they will represent us," Erebus answered, satiating Percy's curiosity about it.

"Okay, if me along with Zoe, and... my other two wives will be leading this council, who will you all choose?" Percy hesitated when addressing his other two wives.

"We don't know but we are looking at several individuals to represent us," Thalassa said while casting a glance at Zoe and Calypso who were entering the room. "We would have chosen your girlfriend, Zoe, to represent us since she was one of the daughters of a sea nymph and her connection to the sea was still there, but she is already the one representing the Earth,"

Zoe and Calypso were confused as to who the new couple was and cast expectant glances at Percy, Nyx, and Erebus. The latest answer for the three of them.

"Zoe, Calypso, we would like to introduce you to our family, Pontus, and Thalassa,"
