Hello people! I have decided to continue this story! I hope you enjoy this chapter! Like I said previously, this is dedicated to Death Fury, someone who has supported my sister and me (I don't know what I'm doing)!
Is typing 30 minutes per day too much? Is that enough time to get me grounded?
IT IS!
I wasn't allowed to write for one week, so that's why I was gone.
Percy POV
"How did you sleep?" I asked as soon as Artemis woke up. She rolled her eyes, as if to say The always crazy caring Perseus Jackson, I felt like Artemis would remark.
"I actually feel refreshed." she answered, shifting her body to face me easier. I grinned like someone crazy (What? I can't help it!), thankful Artemis didn't disintegrate me or something.
"I'm hungry. Do you want to go eat?" I asked, my stomach grumbling as loud as an earthquake. I turned my head around, blushing, hoping that Artemis wouldn't laugh or anything.
Nope, fat chance.
I glanced back, and Artemis had pursed her lips, trying not to laugh.
"Percy, get up. I will make the breakfast." Artemis called to me as she ran into the closet. I dragged myself out of bed, and waited for Artemis to finish changing the mortal way.
Mortal way.
The word mortal still bothered me. It felt strange, being married to a goddess and not being a god.
"Percy, wake up!"
I was bonked on the head with a "slice" from Artemis, as I was too wrapped up in my thoughts. I went into the closet, and in a bag, there were clothes. On those clothes were the words 'Wear Today'. I pulled those out, and they magicked themselves on me. It was matching Artemis' by the color scheme: silver on top, blue on the bottom.
I found Artemis waiting close to the place where I brought her in.
"I can't figure out how to get out!" Artemis cried in frustration when I walked out. I chuckled quietly, and imagined the bedroom now connecting with the rest.
"Oh my gods." Artemis breathed when the palace was fully transformed. Instead of darkness of where the door would be, there was a gleaming glass sliding door that lead to a balcony overlooking the entrance hall. On either side of the balcony were a set of stairs.
Once you get down, to the right is the dining room and kitchen, and to the left is the weaponry, the pool, the guest rooms, and the garden.
"Percy, I will make breakfast, and after that, we need to tell the Hunt."
Oh jeez. They are going to get so mad at me…
"But Artemis, won't they get mad at me?" I asked, worried that they would kill me, "And maybe kill me?"
Artemis laughed, a clear ringing tone that I loved, "We need to go to Olympus first to make you a god."
I breathed a sigh of relief as Artemis strolled into the kitchen to make breakfast. Just minutes later, she emerged with a large stack of pancakes, eggs, and potatoes.
Not any pancakes, blue pancakes. My blue pancakes. I pulled half the stack, and started to eat.
Gods, they tasted like my mom's pancake: fluffy, a bit crispy, just perfect.
"These are amazing!" I cried once we were done, "I loved it!"
Artemis gave me a genuine smile, and she teleported us to Olympus. I knelt at my father's throne, and then bowed to Zeus. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the Fates appear.
Uh oh.
"First, we need to make Percy Jackson a god." Zeus thundered, and nodded to the Fates. They raised their withered hands, and chanted. I couldn't catch it, but it was indeed entrancing.
"Perseus Jackson, the son of Poseidon, husband to Artemis, you are hereby pronounced god. You are the 15th Olympian (Hades and Hestia were made Olympians), God of Swordsmanship, Tides, Loyalty, Bravery, Earth, and Time! Your sacred animal is pegasus, and your sacred flower is the moonlace!" the Fates announced, and I felt a glow envelope my body. Time slowed down, and my senses were sharper. I could see every tiny little detail in the room, I could sense what the goddesses and gods felt like after I became a god.
Artemis POV
Percy…
Percy became taller, more muscular, and his skin paled a bit. His eyes stayed the same, but he looked so much better. Percy radiated power like no other, and I never thought I would say this, but I am proud to have a husband like Percy. I glanced around at the other goddesses (other than Hera and Athena), and they were all staring at Percy. I shot them each a glare, and they all stopped.
A rumble, and a throne appeared, right across from me. It was blue colored, with waves running across it. On both sides, there were two swords that formed a cross.
"First things first. We need to deal with the monster uprising." Zeus rumbled.
"What uprising?" Percy asked, clearly having no information about this.
"Monsters that haven't been seen in millennia have rose out of, umm, you know. They haven't been seen, and most of them cannot be killed without the help of a god. There are some that aren't as dangerous, but still must be killed before they wipe the human population out." Hermes answered.
"This is why this meeting was called. Percy, you are to track down the Mother of Monsters, who is currently following a group of unclaimed half-bloods in Maryland. Artemis, Apollo, as the Chimera is wreaking havoc at the borders of Camp Jupiter. Take the Hunt. Hermes, Hades, I need you to check on the prisons. Ares, I need you to kill the original Kampe, who is in Texas. No excuses." Zeus ordered, and dismissed the council. I immediately shrank down to mortal size, and ran to Percy, who was waiting with open arms.
"Percy, I don't want you to fight her. She's too dangerous." I cried.
"Artemis, I have been up against her as a demigod. As a god, it will be easier." Percy answered, trying to soothe the anxiety building up.
"But she goes easy on demigods! Her attacks become more vicious. What if you fade? I…" my voice broke, "I need you by my side."
"It's going to be fine. I have more power now, it should be easier. I will come back." Perc promised, and kissed my cheek. He gave me a confident smile before teleporting away. Thoughts about everything bad that could happen.
"Hey little sis, in love now?"
"I am not your little sister." I snapped angrily, and I teleported to the Hunt.
"We need to hunt for the Chimera, and Apollo is going to come along. You are permitted to shoot him if he offends you in any way, or talks to you in any inappropriate way." I informed the Hunt, and Apollo teleported in.
"Apollo, remember this. Do not flirt, talk to, or call them sweetheart of find yourself taking a shower in arrows." I warned.
"Okay little sis. Let's teleport the Hunt to the border of Camp Jupiter." Apollo agreed, and we teleported there.
As soon as the we appeared, the Hunt started to pepper the Chimera with arrows. I summoned my bow, and started to shower the Chimera with arrows as well.
A ferocious growl emitted from his throat, shaking the ground. Most people fell down, but got up almost instantly.
The Romans were fighting as well, and I caught a glimpse of Reyna Avila Ramirez Arellano fighting like a tiger.
Slowly, the Chimera started to get injured, and all of the archers of Rome, the Hunt, Apollo, and I fired arrows as one, just as the Romans threw their spears. A tsunami of deadly projectiles hit the monster, and it returned to Tartarus.
"Hunt, tend the wounded, including the Romans. Thalia, lead them. Tell Reyna that I requested this." I ordered, and I teleported away to Percy.
Percy POV
"How did you do that?" Echidna demanded.
"Have you not figured out yet?" I summoned another wave of sand, and sped up the time. The wave of sand hit Echidna in the face, and I used the chance to strike. The sand suddenly flew out of the way, and Echidna laughed the screeching laugh.
"You think you can beat me?" she sneered, and a flash signified someone else joining the fight.
"If a husband and a wife join forces."
Artemis stepped out, already firing arrows. I hit Echidna with more strikes, and she couldn't keep up. I hit a fatal blow, and she dissolved into nothing. As soon as the monster disappeared, I ran over to Artemis. I pulled her into a hug, and she placed her head on my chest (I really did not expect her to do it, it just happened).
"Should we tell the Hunt yet?" I asked.
"Not yet. We should wait until we travel far from the Roman Camp, then tell them." Artemis answered, "I will tell you where to go to, and wait there, hidden. Turn invisible with the camouflage that comes with the earth powers. Once I arrive, appear and we will tell the Hunt."
I nodded, and Artemis gave me where they were going to stay. I teleported there, and an amazing sight came to view.
Green fields full of flowers, crystal clear water. This was paradise. I noticed there was a forest over to the right, and I could sense it was filled with animals of all sorts, like birds and deer.
I then heard laughter behind me, so I quickly camouflaged. The Hunters finished setting up camp within minutes. They started to set up the usual stations where they would do different things, and some of the hunters went to go hunting, but Artemis teleported in and stopped them. I remembered the plan and appeared.
"What is that man doing here?"
"Why is a male here?"
"Lady Artemis, what is the vile thing doing at the female camp?"
"Milady, can I shoot him?"
"Percy!" Thalia cried, and made her way to me. I gave her a hug and pat on the back, and she didn't seem surprised that I was here.
"Tell you later." she mouthed, and Artemis silenced the Hunt.
"You all know Percy Jackson, but he has now taken the title of my husband." Artemis informed, and everyone except Thalia erupted.
"He forced you to marry him right?"
"Kill the male!"
"Silence!" Artemis yelled.
"I did not force Artemis to marry me, it was her father. Artemis made a choice to take me." I stated quietly.
"Hunters, go do your duties. I need time with Percy." Artemis ordered, and they all left. I followed Artemis into her tent, and as soon as we entered, a chill floated through me. I knew something was bothering Artemis.
"What's wrong?" I asked Artemis, her face engraved with worry. I didn't like to see her beautiful face like this, so I came over and planted a kiss on her cheek. There was definitely something bothering her.
"There is something wrong with the cycle of the eclipses. The next lunar eclipse is supposed to happen in three months, but something is altering the cosmos. I can sense the mortal scientists expecting one, but I can't do it, nor can Apollo." Artemis finally answered.
"Why?"
"Apollo delivered a prophecy. A prophecy that says the world would change."
So this will do it for the story! I've been working on another story, and I have tons of ideas!
This will turn it into a finish-it story, so go do it! I really hoped you enjoyed this, and I will see you all in the new story!
