Chapter 96

Mending Your Own Mistakes

(Percy)

"Apollo can you at least try and pay attention to what you are doing?" I hissed bitterly as the god smacked his arm against my now barely skeletal hand causing pain to flare up along the entire recently dismembered limb. As it was, it looked like I had dipped my lower arm into a vat of acid and burned the flesh and most of the muscle off of my hand. Still, it was better than being an amputee for the rest of my hopefully long eternal life.

"Sorry cuz." Apollo replied rapidly turning back towards me though I noticed his head was still turned at an angle to catch sight of what was going on behind him. Namely the silver eyed panther that was busily trying to tear a golden eyed, raven haired young women a piece of its mind. The problem was as we rapidly discovered that the female looking aspect who could best be described as the avatar of Lust had managed to acquire my own ability to regenerate harm on herself. Something I could sorely have used to get me out of my current painful predicament. Still as long as she kept the gore in one area of the room it was fine by me.

Still whilst Artemis was taking out her frustration on my own aspect's aspect and not me, I counted it as a win in my books. The problem was that Apollo found it fascinating in a twisted sort of way (What was it with gods and their sisters?) to watch this 'Cat' fight between her and her own doppelgänger who happened to be a part of me.

'I suggest you do little brother, or the next thing I sharpen my claws on will be you.' The goddess said telepathically to the pair of us causing the gods to visibly gulp. After all when a man-hating goddess turned half tonne big cat covered in immortal ichor threatens you, you better pay attention.

"May I just point out I am an innocent party in all of this Sis, you asked me to come here. Not my fault you two/three/ten decided to fight a Primordial." He replied quickly counting numbers off on his hand and inadvertently wafting a breeze toward my hand causing me to wince. Jeez why couldn't pain receptors be the last thing to heal rather than one of the first.

'I am generally surprised you managed to work that out by yourself, did you have to use your toes?' Artemis commented sarcastically holding up a golden stained paw.

"Ha-ha no because at least unlike you two, I have two hands with opposable thumbs." He retorted causing Artemis to growl.

"Apollo." I told him holding up my still mostly skeletal hand barely managing to curl my fingers inwards so that only my middle one was straight and pointed in his direction.

"Good it seems that you regaining some control of it." He said matter of factly, to my disappointment as I straightened the other skeletal fingers back out.

"So how much did it hurt you doing that?" He said with a grin.

"Like you wouldn't believe." I said bravely through a grimace.

"Was it worth it?" He asked with a grin.

"No." I mumbled under my breath.

"Exactly and that is why you shouldn't go against the doctor's advice." He said still grinning at me.

'What about eating the doctor?' Artemis voice said in my head and sure enough she had abandoned her chew toy for a few seconds and was now right behind her brother. Looking like the sort of creature that scares young gods and goddesses in their non existent nightmares, her black fur coated in fresh immortal blood.

Apollo the brave god that he was, practically took off vertical from the couch we were on and positioned himself behind me.

"Real brave there Doc, hide behind the injured patient." I said turning my head over my shoulder and looking at him.

"And so the real story of Apollo versus Python occurred, until he hid behind me and stole my kill." Artemis ridiculed having resumed her normal form whilst I was not looking. Thankfully it also appeared to clean her up a bit. The last thing I needed was the image of my future wife with the equivalent of a gods blood around her mouth like some sort of cannibal.

"No it didn't, I wasted that snake." He defended childishly.

"Err hello I was there remember, it took you like seven attempts to kill that thing and low and behold the one time I go with you and soften it up you finally managed to kill it. Now will you stop hiding behind the couch like a little gir- no wait that is unfair to girls. Like a little Ares." she corrected with a smug grin. The fact she was calling two of her siblings one of whom was the god of war basically a coward was not lost on me. Didn't mean I did not agree with her.

"Get back here you bitch." A voice called from across the room wearily.

"Is she/he/it really that stupid." Apollo said noticing the doppelgänger of Artemis slowly rising to it's feet.

"May I remind you that it is part of Perseus who is part of this idiot." Artemis said laughing whilst patting me on the head.

"Very funny." I said shaking my head.

"See even he knows I am not marrying him for his brains."

"As everyone else constantly reminds me." I sighed bitterly.

"Stop ignoring me bitch!" Lust complained and I watched as Artemis's eyebrow twitched as her eyes changed colour. At which point I decided to firmly stay sitting down and not do anything to antagonise my future fiancée

"Whatever, give me two seconds." Artemis said staring at the cause of interruption and cracking her knuckles before dashing towards the aspect who was having second thoughts clearly by the way it stood there watching the goddess shape shift into a full size grizzly bear several feet in front of her before it was too late and she was power pawed through the bathroom wall.

'And stay down.' Artemis mocked commandingly before she began to glow and shrink back into her normal form.

"So that's how that Mama bear thing works." Apollo said once again hiding behind the couch.

"As for you, is he going to be fine?" Artemis said glaring at her brother.

"Day or two bed rest and he should be fine. As for the injured Perseus, well both of them now..."

"Don't care, get out and tell Atlas to get away from the door while you are at it or the next thing getting erased from orbit is him." She told him firmly as if to emphasise the point a bow as tall as she was appearing in her hand. If my ears did not deceive me I could have sworn I heard a scared squeal from behind me as the god suddenly sprinted towards the door and throwing it open and colliding with something large and gruff on the other side judging by the dual complaints before one of them hurriedly closed it.

Leaving me alone (not counting the four Perseus's literally chained up in the swimming pool and the two still unconscious ones on of whom was also chained to the floor. Pride the only 'trustworthy' one was on an errand) with an extremely angry and not to mention pregnant hormonal goddess. Well this was going to go one of two ways and one would probably involve me missing a lot more than a hand, so here was hoping it was the other.

"Now then where was I?" She mused focusing on me slowly walking towards me bow still in hand before whipping it up in both her hands.

'Well crap!' I thought to myself before I found my body caught between the bowstring and a limb and pulled off of the couch and towards the woman in front of me who was baring a sly smile.

"Did you really think I was going to hurt you when I have a whole room full of identical idiots next door chained up and gagged." She said with a grin before dropping the bow, it vanishing back into nothing before it hit the floor.

"Wow that sounded creepy. Are you sure Aphrodite hasn't drugged you again?"

"Percy... Shut up." She said before grabbing my collar and dragging me towards her. Her lips locking with mine as she aggressively attempted to subjugate the interior of my mouth. It seemed that option two was in effect. Still didn't mean I was out of danger though as I felt myself being pushed back by the auburn haired goddess.

So as I felt the both of us trip over the couch still behind me my first priority was to get my injured arm out of harm's way. The second well that was taking control of this fight as I kicked her foot out from beneath her and twisted her round so she fell beneath me on the leather cushioned furniture. Her eyes opening in surprise at the sudden turn of events, the golden orbs looking into mine as I cheekily winked at my new-found victory.

Which was typically short lived as she locked her legs around my back and twisted the pair of us onto the floor with me beneath her as she straddled my waist. One hand pinning my own to the floor the other holding my injured arm to the side at the elbow.

"Did you really think that was going to work?" She whispered into my ear softly her lips brushing against my cheek.

"Well I had hopes?" I whispered back shrugging as she leaned back releasing her hold on my injured arm and using her now free hand to undo the knot holding her ponytail in place and letting the hair fall around her face. Despite the shadows obscuring parts of her face I couldn't help but notice that her left eye had shifted back to silver.

"We had hopes for a nice calm day together and look how that turned out, you. owe. us." The goddess said firmly using her hand to poke me in the chest punctuating her last words, though judging by the duality in her voice and the fact she had physically changed her hair style I had no idea if I was still dealing with Artemis, Diana or even both.

"So did I, getting kidnapped twice was not exactly my idea either but that is in the past now." I said with a grin only to wince as she lightly blew some air at my injured arm causing the limb to painfully protest.

"Still seems pretty present to us. Now you are going to do as the good-ish doctor ordered and get some bed rest." She said with a feral grin as I gulped nervously as she transported us both the twenty feet to the next room by the laziest method so as to keep her dominant position over me.

'Well I suppose I am in for the long run then, better get comfortable.' I thought to myself as the goddess decided me wearing a shirt was not needed for a swift recovery. Of course to remove it she took the easy option so as to avoid my injured arm and save time, not like she was worried about replacing it anyway.

(Pride)

"Jeez I save everyone and get reduced to a taxi service for delinquent girls." I muttered under my breath as I finished dumping the final pair of hunters back at Camp Jupiter. Due to my overall decrease in power I was reduced to taking them a few at a time, with the usual duo opting to go last.

"What was that?" Thalia asked sarcastically hearing full well what I had said.

"Nothing, just cursing my own fall from grace." I told her bitterly looking down at my feet as I kicked some dirt to the side.

"Yeah well sucks to be you. Besides this pretty much was your fault, not that it was not fun blowing up a city."

"Look at the even better side now I don't have to worry about the Cities lack of finances." Reyna said with remarkable cheer for her at least as she waved a stack of hundred dollar bills as if fanning herself. Somewhere back on Orthrys my other self was probably crying himself to sleep due to Artemis's cruelty in confiscating my 'cheatings' as she put them.

"Yeah well don't go flaunting it around, you could get mugged." I said bitterly, I may not have been Greed but it still annoyed me due to the fact all of my hard thought out plan robbing the casinos had been for no gain.

"Seeing as the only people allowed to be armed in this city including you: Are us Hunters and she currently runs it. I think we will be fine." Thalia said holding out her sheathed Orthrytic Silver sword just to rub the fact in. One of the conditions from which I was allowed out of the dog house was that I was not allowed to be armed.

"Anyway shouldn't you be off lezzing it up in a corner."

"And he goes for the childish low blow. I thought you would be better than that."

"Bite me."

"I would imagine Artemis still is. See ya and try not to get kidnapped on the way home. Hate to have to come and save your ass again." Thalia said turning around and walking back to the Hunter's/Reyna's house waving over her shoulder as Reyna swiftly followed on behind.

"Right then now for step two." I said aloud to no one in particular before checking there was no one else around and flashing out of the city and back towards the former battlefield that was Las Vegas.

A quick change of suit jacket with one I had appropriated from some poor bastards government sedan and I was transformed into another of the multitude of investigative agents milling aimlessly around the ruins of central Vegas. The only thing I was missing was a clipboard and a camera and the crap pension.

The difference was whilst they were looking for any clue on what the hell had happened I knew full well what I was searching for amongst the few remaining pieces of the Lotus Hotel. It was just a simple matter of searching for the aura they radiated amongst the ruins.

Something that was hindered by my counterparts ability to spread themselves all of the place during their ass kicking courtesy of the Primordial. Numerous times I found myself carefully shifting rubble aside only to find nothing but ichor splattered concrete or a few scattered golden feathers.

After what felt like an hour of searching I finally had some luck as I spotted several square inches of black metal poking out of a pile of concrete and hurriedly nabbed the shield piece before anyone noticed. Sure it was not what I was actually looking for but it couldn't hurt in the long run. More morbid however was the pile of gold dust that had fallen out of the now empty strap when I had lifted it, obviously all that remained of Percy's wrist and hand. But that was not my problem so I simply kicked some dirt back over it and moved on.

"Excuse me sir, may I just ask what that was you stuck in your jacket?" A voice asked and I turned to find myself facing the most stereotypical government agent ever. Immaculate black suit and tie, white shirt so smooth it was probably ironed onto him and wearing a pair of sunglasses at night even though there was only floodlights illuminating the area.

"Dear god did someone invite the Men in Black to this gig as well, jeez I know it came from space but seriously." I told him causing the barest trace of a frown to appear on his forehead.

"Very funny I am with the FBI now can I please see your credentials." He said holding out his hand.

"Sure thing, here you go." I said reaching into my jacket for the stolen idea that was hidden there and giving it to him.

"Special Agent Jackson, Director of CIA operations West Coast. Aren't you a little young to be a Director Sir?" The mortal asked reading the mist altered ID a little too carefully.

"What can I say President was taken." I told him sarcastically before he was swallowed by shadows and dumped three miles into the desert. I did not have time to deal with jackass bureaucrats, if Artemis or my counterpart found out what I was doing I was firmly going to end up shits creek without a paddle. Besides all he had to do was follow the remaining neon lights glow back to civilisation.

"If I was a four foot lump of metal caught in an explosive divine temper tantrum where would I go?" I asked myself making sure no one had noticed Agent observant's disappearance. Fortunately it seemed that they were completely oblivious to his plight instead focusing on pulling something out of the engine block of a toppled semi that was blocking half the strip.

Taking a half hearted walk in the general direction I noticed the three guys desperately trying to pull what looked like a familiar hilt out of where it was embedded causing me to chuckle as they fell on their asses after losing their grip on the hilt. One does not just pull the sword from the Semi after all, unless they are worthy.

"Make way coming through... I said move idiot." I told the growing crowd of agents before pushing one of the idiots who had failed out of the way.

"I can get this out with one hand, so step aside you weakling." I told the last guy who was next to it looking at me with suspicion.

"Hundred bucks says you are full of shit." Someone shouted from in the crowd.

"Done." I said cheerfully to whoever it was and half-heartedly yank the blade straight upwards bisecting the cab with no effort whatsoever before checking to make sure the sword was alright apart from a few engine oil smears it appeared so.

"Put the sword down son." A voice commanded as I suddenly realised being a stranger in a crowd of Feds who were all armed whilst toting a sword was not normally the place anyone wanted to be.

"And what if I don't, you'll shoot me?" I told them as I lifted Escalibur parallel to the ground splitting the crowd as they all stepped out of the way drawing handguns and pointing them at me.

"Yeah yeah you keep pointing those at me, just remember that you are the ones on camera. Not going to look great to your superiors and the general public if you shoot me is it." I said sarcastically nodding my head at the nearby news vans where the press was now noticing what was happening.

"So be some good little peons and get out of my way." I told them with a grin as I lowered my arm and by extension the legendary sword so it was facing the floor and began walking between them all, conscious of the weapons that followed my every step as I walked past the last of them towards the very centre of the crater.

"This is your last warning put the weapon down!"

"Whatever. Besides this is not what you should be worried about!" I shouted back at them as I slammed my foot down on a pile of dust and flipping something taller than myself out of the ground before catching it in one hand.

"Sayonara!" I shouted to the group of powerless mortals as I took my findings and disappeared into shadows leaving them all dumbstruck. After all I had achieved what I came here for there was no point in hanging around.

Reappearing in the Mojave I took stock of what I was holding as I whistled looking along the seven feet metal blade still stained in Silver and Gold Ichor. Unlike Escalibur I had not truly lost where the scythe had fallen and had in fact intentionally hidden it, whilst Artemis and my counterpart were focusing on the dying Primordial hoping that they would think it faded along with him.

Besides it couldn't help to have one of what I guessed was the oldest weapons in existence hidden away for a rainy day. It was not Maelstrom but it was a close second by my reckoning it had proved it's deadliness on the most dangerous target it could. Myself.

Still it was not like I could go back to Orthrys holding a nine foot scythe and expect no one to notice. However a humble box cutter knife, that was something no one expected to be something so much more deadly. I thought to myself with satisfaction as I tucked the now much smaller blade in my pants. Discarding my stolen suit jacket I considered my task well done as I sank into the desert shadows and went home to whatever chaos was awaiting me.

"Jeez I go away for a few hours and someone commits a massacre in the place." I said looking around the ichor splattered space that was normally the recreational zone in my/our chambers.

"Oh well could be worse, at least the dinner table is still intact." I told myself grabbing a hold of the refilling wine bottle that was still sitting on it. along with the rest of the Christmas Dinner we had not bothered to clear up, I was pretty sure under normal situational rules our stolen dinner should have gained a life of its own but as it stood it was still fine to eat. Not that I was hungry but after today I could sure as hades use a drink I thought taking a swig of the crimson liquid in the bottle.

"Hello?" I called aloud being rewarded with silence for a few seconds before a commotion in the bathroom got my attention and I went to investigate. Escalibur in one hand, Bottle in the other prepared for any eventuality.

"So what's going on in he- What the fu-" I began to say only to pause in horror at what I was watching, completely oblivious to the torrent of red liquid that was pouring on my foot.

(Wrath)

'Dear gods, my fucking head. What the hell happened?' I thought bitterly to myself as I regained a sense of conscious and felt the throbbing pain that was pulsing in it.

'Oh right the traitor, I would deal with that arrogant bastard after I dealt with the bitch.' I thought angrily getting back on track with where my priorities were. Kill Artemis, dance on her dust, Kill Traitor, die content. Anything else would be a bonus.

"First things first." I said aloud attempting to push myself up only to be hindered by something bound across my chest.

"What in Hades?" I asked attempting to lift my arm and finding no joy there either as I found the limbs bound at the wrists.

"Oh good you are awake at last." A voice called softly and my blood froze as I opened my eyes and looked downwards and found myself face to face all too familiar black haired girl looking back at me. She looked a bit dishevelled and like she had been in a losing fight but there was no mistaking who it was as I gulped.

"Don't you fucking think about it freak." I shouted in panic before wincing at the pain my own voice caused inside my head.

"Think about what?" She said biting her lip and looking up and down my subdued body.

"Whatever kinky shit is going on in that fucked up head of yours." I told her beginning to panic as she ran a finger down my chest.

"You forget that we once shared thoughts, I know all those little angry fantasies you dreamed up regarding Artemis too. Now just close your eyes and pretend." It whispered into my ear as I somehow found myself unable to vomit despite how much I wanted too. Maybe if I held my breath for long enough I could kill myself with asphyxiation and get out of it like that.

For thirty seconds it looked like I was in luck as Lust looked at me quizzically before she seemingly realised what I was doing.

"Sorry babe but I can deal with that. If you can't breathe I guess I will have to do it for you" It said with a grin before ramming it's lips against mine.

' . . . . .Kill...Me'

Five minutes later

(Pride)

'How do I unsee what I am currently seeing?' I asked myself desperately hoping that what I had stumbled onto was not happening.

"Oh hey stud you want to join in?" It asked noticing me looking at it, a smile plastered all over its face.

"Let go of him now." I told the now half naked avatar of lust raising Escalibur underneath her chin.

"Oh but I was just getting started!" It protested causing me to shiver in disgust as I looked from 'her' to the restrained figure who was looking relieved he had been rescued from his near rape. Or at least I hoped it was a near rape, they both still had their lower undergarments on so I had some hope.

"Nope your done." I told her with finality before crossing 'her' around the side of the head and sending 'her' headfirst into the sink pedestal where she slumped to the floor. Now I know all the taboo about guys hitting girls but I would like to point out that was not really a girl.

"Hehe can you do that again?"

"Seriously what the fuck is wrong with you?" I said in horror looking down at the creature facing me with a joyful smile on its face.

"Stop talking and kill it." Wrath demanded angrily.

"Bro I feel for you but shut up. I kill this 'thing' and we all go for a vacation to the pit." I told the subdued figure pointing Escalibur in his direction.

"We have seen Tartarus and it will be a lot better than what I just went through!" Wrath shouted hysterically.

"What on earth is going on out he-, OH MY GODS!" Percy demanded before catching sight of what was going on in the bathroom in front of me. Though I had to notice that he was not wearing a shirt and had a rather obvious love bite on his neck.

"Why hello, I hope that is a roll of drachmas in your pocket or are you just happy t-."

"You know what I don't care, deal with your own fuck ups for once." He said shaking his head and wandering off back towards the bedroom where I noticed a half golden eyed goddess was poking her head around the corner in my direction glaring.

"Actually there is something..." He remarked seemingly remembering something and walking back towards me, before snatching the sword out of my hand and then walking back to where the goddess waited who happily grabbed him by the back of his neck and slammed the door once he entered. Which was good because if he took it at face value as that was the only thing I had, then he would not suspect I had anything else.

"Who wants to bet what is happening in there, better yet why don't we re-enact it." Lust chipped in biting her thumbnail and looking at me provocatively.

"Yeah no. Besides as if those two would actually get anywhere near whatever fantasy is going on that head of yours." I told 'her' raising an eyebrow.

"Your right, which is why I will just have to use this idiot." 'She' said going from down hearted to rapid fire as 'she' threw herself at the restrained figure and latched onto his face before I could drag her off him.

"That's it I hate you more than Artem-" Wrath announced before pausing mid-rant as if hit with an epiphany. Before I could question what was going on he shattered into golden light. The Bronze chains falling slack.

"Ok what the fuck just happened, and why the fuck are you looking at me now?" I asked in a mix of panic and anger as Lust looked at me.

"Oh don't look at me like that, I just fixed part of us." 'She' said standing straight as I decided to focus on her face and not her bare upper body. Something I was only partially successful at doing admittedly, as taboo as it was it was still technically Artemis/Diana's body.

"Explain." I demanded angrily.

"He was so tied up on Artemis this and Artemis that, I just had to make him hate someone else for a change. Sure you might not like the method but you can't deny the results. Are you feeling a bit more irrationally angry than you were a second?"

"You bitch."

"See now you are getting the idea. You see the problem is you can't overcome your defining flaw as compared to Percy you will always be held second best. Just like the our former self which is why when we overcome our flaws you will still be here."

"Which means to get rid of you..."

"...One of you needs to sleep with me. See now you are getting the hang of this." 'She' whispered.

"Nope not doing it." I stated simply before slamming the door and turning around.

"You'll enjoy it, you always wanted to sleep with Artemis. Just pretend I am her." 'Her' voice said coming through the door.

"How are you so fucked up, that that seems ok to you?"

"Rule 34. If you can think of it there's porn of it." The voice called back instantly as I slammed my head back against the door repeatedly trying to drum 'her' out.

"Just shut up... Please." I said walking away from the door and the abomination inside. The bottle in my hand looking a lot more appealing now as I struggled to get my head around what to do. Percy was right about one thing for once, this was my/our problem. That didn't mean I had to like it.

However it mean I had an idea of how to sort out the rest of the idiots in the mean time.

"Hey fatso me and you are going out for a bit." I told the bound figure with a grin as I brandished my newly obtained box cutter and cut the chains like they were paper.

"The rest of you try not to get raped by the freak, though if you do. Your sacrifice will not be remembered. Bye!" I said cheerfully grabbing my freshly released doppelgänger and getting the hell out of there.

"Right then chunky, let's put that all you can eat sign to the test." I told my counterpart handing him an empty plate.

The Oriental buffet was about to have no idea what was going to hit it, I was not going to let him win after all. I am the embodiment of Pride and I would not be denied victory at anything, no matter how petty the challenge was.

(Percy)

'Please move...Please move...' I kept thinking to myself as I continued to curse the severe case of dead arm I was suffering. The cause was obvious enough, the mostly naked sleeping goddess who was lying on it completely oblivious to my plight. And frankly I was not brave enough to wake her up and ask her to move. So with my other arm out of commission I was effectively forced to suck it up and deal with it until the pregnant goddess woke up.

Still while the Perseus's were behaving it wasn't too bad, they had all gone quiet again much to my relief. Either that or they had killed each other very silently with the kitchen cutlery seeing as all of the weapons were in the room with me. Mine and Artemis's trust of Pride only stretched so far after all. The only reason he wasn't locked up with the others was because he was compliant with requests and actually seemed to want to help fix his greater selves mistake.

Didn't mean Artemis doesn't want to strangle him of course for spending the last week or so deliberately trying to drive her insane. Something his fracturing had only worsened though she had a choice of who to take out her frustration on, which was fine by me.

"Percy...Percy." A voice whispered causing me to frown as I slowly turned my head towards where I thought the voice was coming from.

"Triton... What in hades is so important you keep calling?" I hissed back quietly spotting the image of my brother who was doing his best to look away.

"I may have messed up a bit with Marina and I need help." He whispered back.

"What has that got to do with me, you have a whole kingdom who can help. Ask Dad if it is that bad."

"I did ask for help, I just asked the wrong person. Kymopoleia." He added as if for effect.

"Who?" I asked completely confused.

"Your half-sister dumbass, goddess of Storms." Artemis mumbled before lifting herself up much to my relief and dragging the bed sheet around herself to preserve some modesty.

"I am sorry for disturbing you, Milady." Triton apologised profusely still avoiding eye contact.

"You will be, So now that you finally have my attention. How did you screw up being a father and proving why I should have took the girl in the first place?"

"That was a little harsh." I told her noticing my brother's head sink in shame.

"No she is right, I was a fool. I learned nothing from Ariel's upbringing, especially the part where young Mermen fancy the Princess and decide to spy on them. Turns out she got Dad's sense of disproportionate retribution. I always thought it was impossible to crush a Merman with water pressure. I was proven sadly wrong." He said deadpan and I couldn't help but snicker at the image in my head of a hapless Merman exploding in on himself.

"So let me get this right, you sent a young girl with known anger issues towards men. To Kymopoleia... The very embodiment of the sea's fury and not happy housewife. How is that going for you." Artemis said sarcastically.

"She created a Maelstrom and destroyed half of camp... And the hurricane currently just off the East Coast." He explained only to be rewarded with slow clapping courtesy of Artemis.

"So now we have to fix your mistake again, I am taking her this time and you are not convincing me otherwise." Artemis told him glaring eye's golden.

"Actually that was kind of the idea. She has already been expelled from camp as being too dangerous. The only issue is actually getting her out of the camp so to speak. Anyone who tries, well think blender and make it several kilometres deep. It was decided she needs to be kept on dry land."

"Give me an hour." Artemis said standing up white linen sheets draped around her body. Almost resembling the typical Chiton Greek goddesses were supposed to wear. And me in just a pair of wave pattern turquoise boxer shorts, something I noticed Triton's green eyes flick downwards and notice followed by a slight grin of amusement.

"Why do I get the feeling I am being left out of this."

"Because you are, you get to stay here on bed rest like you are supposed to. Doctor's orders." She answered with finality.

"Doesn't look like he was getting much res-" Triton began only to be cut off as the message was interrupted by a thrown knife.

"Please don't kill him as well, I have only just patched it up with that side of the family." I joked before enjoying the view as the goddess dropped the sheet to retrieve her usual outfit from the floor.

"Are you going to keep staring at my butt or give me some privacy?"

"No I was just thinking about how it was going to be a shame when you have a tail instead." I joked as the goddess froze apart from a pair of blinking eyes.

"Crap."

"And that makes four." I said as I released the last restrained figure who slowly grumbled to his feet.

Twenty minutes after the goddess had left I had realised something, I was bored. which then resulted in another twenty minutes of panicking about where the missing Wrath had vanished too. Something I was finally able to convince Lust to explain about, amongst a multitude of innuendoes and enough attempts at incest to make Alabama look pure by comparison. I was however worried about how Pride had managed to cut the chains on Gluttony.

"Right then who wants to play Smash Bros?"

AN. Well anyone who read the last authors note about less delays. Whoops.

Turns out no matter how much you say you won't live on a new console in your free time, you are full of shit.

So between SHOI, Holidays, Fallout 4 and family circumstances I got a bit distracted.

This chapter was not planned to be well a full chapter. But resolving the aftermath of the last one or beginning to at least is taking a lot more words than it should have. As for the Perseus's, well then there were six.

As for the last chapter I will be re-uploading it in the coming week because it was frankly a mess in terms of proof reading and has enough mistakes to be shameful of.

Anyway hope you all enjoy the chapter and have a very happy new year.
