Ch. 1
The darkness that enveloped the woods in New York's Central Park had matched the dark aura of a twelve year old girl with auburn hair tied in a ponytail that reached her back. She was wearing a silver tunic that match her pair of silver eyes. Armed with a silver bow she ran through the woods with an amazing speed.
Artemis, maiden goddess of the hunt and the moon was out for solitary hunting. A solo hunt which were ordered to her by her father. To catch a certain mother of all monsters known as Echidna. News pent up on Olympus about the sins of Echidna eating demigods along the way. An order was sent out on Artemis to find it and kill her immediately. She halted for a second after hearing voices nearby.
"What do you want with me anyways?" A voice snarled. Artemis merely raised an eyebrow, maybe due to the fact that it was a boy. And a thought appeared on her head that maybe, that boy was having a quarrel with his lover.
But what surprised her is when she saw her target talking calmly to a twelve year old boy with an unruly raven hair. His back was turned back on her so she couldn't see what the boy looks like.
"Merely the fact that your mother needs you. That's all I can tell you. So are you coming or not? Either way, I will get you. The difference is that one situation is where your sister are alive, and he other situation is where we leave her dead." Echidna said. "Pick your choice. Your mother is waiting."
Artemis watch them silently covering her aura from the both of them. In any seconds she wanted to jump in and attack Echidna. But the sight of a girl hiding behind a tree right behind Echidna made her doubt her decisions. And it intrigues who's the boy's mother. She mentally gasped when a girl with a black hair and dark eyes emerged from behind the tree.
"He's not going with you! Percy, you promised me!" The girl cried.
"It's the only way, Bianca. To save you, and you still need to find your brother right?" Percy said softly. "I don't want you to be in pain."
"Nooo! Percy! You don't think that leaving me wouldn't cause me any pain?" Bianca said furiously.
Percy took a step forward ignoring the growling of the Chihuahua near him. He took Bianca in a tight embrace and fake some tears. Bianca looked up from him and she saw Percy winked.
"I'm sorry, Bianca. I wish you could forgive me in the near future. I love you, little sister." Percy said softly, before kissing her temple.
Percy snapped his fingers and green fire surrounded Bianca. Bianca cried and continued pounding her fist on the invisible force but to no avail, she couldn't slip away from it. Percy turned to Echidna, who was smiling evilly towards him.
"Now that's a good boy. I'm sure your mother will be delighted to see her beloved son." Echidna clicked her fingers and the Chihuahua instantly turned into it's full Chimera form. Percy sneered at her. "I don't even know who my mother is!"
Echidna chuckled. "Consider this as a reunion. You'll meet your brothers too. Such joy."
"You're a liar, Percy! I hate you! You promised!" Bianca barked inside the barrier.
Artemis was ready to jump into action and hesitantly saved the boy. But the smug look on his face when he was put into cuffs made her halt in the second time around. Then with a smooth voice, she heard the boy said, "I'll consider attending that reunion next time."
With that said, the boy turned into a liquid and with no solid form of the handcuffs, it was dropped on the ground with a clunk. The boy made a flip and with a loud crack, he sent a powerful punch towards Echidna sending her towards a tree. Percy smiled and jumped in the air before sending his feet towards the mother of monsters, letting her cry out in pain. A ball of fire came out from Percy and he sent it towards the Chimera and to Echidna. In an instant, the girl who was trapped in the border earlier was now freed and happily shooting the enemy with her black arrows.
Artemis watched in fascination as the boy took out a pen and with a click it turned into a Celestial bronze slashing through the thick armor of the Chimera. Percy slammed his sword on the ground and with an amazing weight of it, the floor began to shake violently creating a wave of earthquakes. Artemis landed on her butt with a yelped surprising Percy, who's staring at her with mild confusion, shock and disbelief.
The Chimera snarled at Percy and opened it's mouth sending him a powerful stream of of fire. But what the Chimera didn't expect is when the boy just slashed his attacks with a sword. The disbelief look on his face, gave Percy an advance to attack, punching the Chimera back to Echidna.
Percy professionally grab Bianca and took the dumbstruck goddess by her wrist dragging her with him, when they saw a large opening in the middle of the forest. Percy dropped them both and stared at Echidna who's being eaten by the ground.
"This is far from over, boy! I'll make sure you pay and your mother can't stop me!" were the last words that came out from Echidna before they were swallowed by the ground.
Bianca and Percy slumped on the ground with big grins on their faces. Seconds later, they burst out laughing, clutching their aching stomachs. Artemis backed away and drew her bow. She was in awe at the boy's skills that it almost, almost scared her since the boy was really powerful. With both water and fire powers, her mind was stuck in the thought on who were his godly parents. Managing to have a toe-to-toe with the mother of monster was an amazing feat. Minutes later, the laughing died down and Percy snapped his eyes on the girl with a bow.
Percy stood up and fixed his self and held his gaze at the moon goddess. Percy's senses told him that this girl was also powerful since her aura grew darker and the silver lights that surrounds her increase it's light like the moon above. Artemis softly gasped at the sight of his eyes. A pair of sea green eyes like the member of the council like the certain uncle of hers named; Poseidon. No doubt that he's the son of Poseidon. Her eyes landed on the girl beside him who's also staring at her with her dark eyes. She had a few guessed on her mind who the girl's parents but she shrugged it off for the moment.
"Who are you, boy?" Artemis spat.
Percy blinked owlishly. "Uh, Percy. Percy Jackson. And here's Bianca di Angelo." He said and pulled Bianca in front of him who's squirming at the intense look of Artemis. "What's your name miss?"
"Artemis. Moon goddess of the Hunt." She smirked triumphantly when she heard them gasp. But flinch when they started bowing at her. She was about to snap at them when a blind light appeared behind the demigods and she saw the warm look of another Olympian.
"Aunt Hestia!" squealed Bianca. She run towards the woman and hugged her with her tiny arms. "Oh my gods, you won't believe what we've been through today. Early in the morning, Percy and I were attack by some kind of monsters. And today, just earlier, a thing called Chihuahua attack us. I thought Percy was going with her but then he formed a stupid plan, and here we are alive!" Bianca stated with much enthusiasm causing the goddess to chuckle.
"Hestia. What..You know these two? Why are you here? Who are their godly parents?" Artemis bombered the goddess with questions. She kinda felt left out not knowing anything.
Hestia raised her hand and snapped her fingers giving the two demigods some foods to help themselves. They all took a seat at the new made bonfire. Bianca giggled when Percy kept telling her some jokes while Hestia smiled softly at the two. She conjured a log for her and Artemis to sit on.
"I wish you don't speak this to others." Hestia said seriously. "Hades will be here any minute. The girl's name is Bianca di Angelo, daughter of Hades."
"What? So Hades also broke the oath?" Artemis interrupted.
"Let me finish, Artemis. Bianca was born before the oath. Hades kept them in a hotel that whoever goes inside could no longer get out. People there don't age. As I was saying, Hades took her out of the hotel to have Percy some company. This past few days, these two had been in traveling to go back to the hotel to pick up Bianca's brother. As for Percy..." Hestia trailed off looking at Percy who had put an icing at Bianca's nose with a smirk on his lips. "He's Poseidon's son."
Artemis nodded but still questions were bottled up inside her which she couldn't deny she wanted it all out.
"I've seen his skills earlier with his fight with Echidna. He has fire powers, how?" Artemis asked curiously.
"My blessings. I'm Percy's patron for the last two years. Hades and I were both taking good care of him."
"Why? As far as I know, he's Poseidon's son which means, Hades's rival. So why would he help you?" Hestia couldn't help but chuckle at Artemis's curiosity. She's starting to be like Athena.
"I found Percy beat up under the rain two years ago. I learned that his stepfather was abusing him which lead Percy to run away from that hell. I called Hades that time since he's the only one I could think off at the moment. At first he was truly against it. When he caught the sight of Percy, he wanted to kill it on the spot. But I told him to read his mind and guess what? He had gone soft. Even if the Lord of the Dead had it's limitations with the tortures he gave to those dead people. But the sight of Percy being tortured everyday made him insanely mad."
Hestia sighed. "We decided to bless him with our powers so at least we could hide his scent from everyone. Percy is one of a kind, Artemis. The kid was powerful, and Hades admitted that himself. But the happenings today at Olympus made us worried. My brother's bolt had been stolen and Zeus was accusing Poseidon's children had stole it. A quest had been sent to some campers at the Camp to find my brother's bolt."
"I need your help, Artemis." Hestia said softly and just in time Hades appeared behind the shadows.
"Dad!" Bianca cheered as she gave Percy a bonk in the head before running to her father's arms. Percy winced and bowed at the Lord of the Dead, but Hades glared at him making the son of Poseidon chuckle.
"Uncle, how kind of you to visit." Percy said sincerely.
Hades grunted. "I felt the earth moved. What have you done, Perseus?"
Artemis watched at the son of Poseidon flinched at his Uncle's question.
"I..I was only protecting Bianca, Uncle. I'm sorry." Percy bowed his head and Bianca neared him to pat his head and kissed his cheeks.
"You'll only raise suspicions, Perseus. Things had escalated between Zeus, Poseidon and I. My...helm had been stolen too." Hades said.
"W..what?! Yours too, Uncle Hades?" Artemis gasped in shock. "This person stealing all weapons from the Olympians want to break a war between us Olympians." Hestia nodded in agreement. " I agree with you, Artemis. War had been declared. Both are taking sides on who'm they shall group. That's why we need your help."
"Bring Percy with you and find the bolt. Follow those demigods who had been sent on the quest. They will lead you to the latter who took Zeus bolt and my helm." Hades butted in.
"What?!" Artemis asked indignantly, huffing as she stood up. "He's a boy! And even if you both have soft spots on him, I wouldn't be like you guys. I'll find the bolt and helm myself. Why is he so important to you guys, anyway?"
The thought of having as her company made her shudder. She caught the sight of Percy who's staring at her with too much innocence in his sea green eyes that she wanted to puke.
"He's important to us. You saw how Echidna was eager to bring Percy to his mother right? Does that make you curious, Artemis? A mere demigod being called by his mother and being escorted by the mother of Monsters, don't you think it's too highly to use Echidna?"
Artemis mentally slapped herself. She won't deny it, but she really was curious to know he's real parentage. It was confirmed that his father was Poseidon. And the sight of Hades and Hestia being the boy's guardian was beyond belief. She sigh in defeat and sat down again.
"So you don't agree?" Hestia asked. When, Artemis didn't answer, Hestia wink at Percy. "I guess, I could talk to Hermes or Apollo to have him companied throughout the mission. But sadly if I do, there's a possibility that they could corrupt the only man that has been acceptable-"
"No!" Artemis called out in protest. "Not those man whores! Fine I admit that..maybe, just maybe. This doesn't mean I still approved off him. But when he was fighting Echidna earlier, I could see that he truly cares about his sister." Artemis grunted. "I don't want him to be an addition to those vile, disgusting, unfaithful, deceitful, and cheating pigs." Artemis said and caught the sight of Hades who winced at her insults.
"Does that mean, you'll agree to accompany him?" Hestia smiled.
"Err, no?" Artemis squeaked. She blushed from embarrassment. A brave maiden like her don't squeak, but if you saw your Aunt giving you a warm smile and eyes that full of hopes, what can you expect? Beside from Athena, Hestai was the closest to her. She looked at Hestia again and sigh in defeat. "Fine, Aunt Hestia. I yield."
Hestia beamed at her. "You'll be my favorite niece from now on. But, thank you Artemis. It means so much to me and to Hades." They gave a glance at the Lord of the Dead who's nodding his head.
Suddenly the ground began to move violently again and Hestia gasped and saw Percy bouncing with Bianca on the ground like it's a trampoline.
"Perseus. Stop."
The ground stop shaking and Percy mumbled an apology before sitting down under a tree. Hestia gave a soft smile which Percy's returned to her, but only more goofiness in it.
"You felt that shaking?" Hestia asked Artemis who's staring at Percy strangely. "Every emotions Percy felt, his mother could feel it too. Such power Percy holds, yet his mother's scent was strangely isn't strong as Poseidon's. But make him mad, I'm telling you, his mother's side would come out." Hestia said seriously.
"Who is his mother, Aunt Hestia?" Artemis asked, eager to know the answer.
Hestia sighed. "His mother was none other than, the Primordial Goddess of the Earth."
Artemis gasped in shock.
