Hey everyone! Just wanted to give a quick update—either tomorrow or the next day, the new chapter will be out. It's been a bit challenging to get the dialogue just right, especially with the introduction of a new character, Diana. Also, my apologies for the Diana vs. Diane mix-up in earlier chapters. I tried to catch as many as I could, but autocorrect seems to really love the name Diane!

This next chapter will be dialogue-heavy. Personally, I really enjoy writing dialogue—it's one of my favorite elements of storytelling. My favorite fic on here is "Day Lily," and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys Percy x Artemis stories. Fight scenes will come later once I move out of the main series events. For now, I'm not planning to rewrite the original fight scenes unless they're important for character development. So, if a scene isn't in my fic, assume it happened just as it did in the original series.

Also, yes, Kymopoleia will be a major character moving forward. She'll play a significant role, especially when dealing with Emperor Little Boots (Caligula).

For those curious about chaos stories: there won't be a character or entity known as Chaos in my fic, but if you like stories where Chaos as a force is important, you're in luck! Chaos as a force will have a major influence on Percy, tying into the original concept I had for this story. Some ideas have evolved since then, but the essence remains.

Two more things I want to mention:

I love bringing back characters who were either forgotten or had minor roles in the series. If you remember any such characters, drop them in the reviews, and I might include them.

I'm also working on designing the proper divine domains for characters who might ascend to godhood. Percy's domain is already set (though I won't spoil it here). Nico's domain is going to be crucial for the story, but for others, I'm open to ideas! Feel free to share any thoughts you have.

As for couples, I'm open to suggestions for pairings. Here are the ones I've already decided on:

Guaranteed Couples:

Hazel ~ Frank

Percy ~ Artemis (Yeah, the title might've given that away!)

Annabeth ~ [Redacted]

Piper ~ [Redacted]

Jason ~ [Redacted]

Leo ~ Calypso

Nico ~ Will

Aphrodite ~ Hephaestus (Marriage counseling, anyone?)

Clarisse ~ Chris

Not Yet Decided:

Thalia (Things with the Hunt would have to change if Artemis falls for someone, right?)

Reyna

Apollo

Ares (I'm giving him a bit of a redemption arc—or as much as you can for the god of war and violence. He'll serve as a minor antagonist turned frenemy, similar to how Clarisse is with Percy.)

Let me Know What you think. Also to those who've left the kind reviews, thank you. I don't think I can comment on them, and I don't know if you'd like me to mention you here so I won't, but thank you. If you want shoutouts let me know, and I'd love to give them. Writing this story and getting feedback has been an incredible experience. I spent a lot of my early teen years (from 12 to 18) in a wheelchair, so I used to create stories and movies in my head to pass the time. Now, finally putting them down in writing and seeing people enjoy them has been amazing.

Thanks again, and let me know your thoughts on the upcoming chapters or any ideas you'd like to share!
