It was no surprise to anyone when the Northwest team won the World Title by beating the South Korean team a whooping 30-2. Every spectator knew that there were only two reasons why the game was so one-sided: Milo and Chloe Jackson. The only reason why South Korea could do two runs was because Milo Jackson, the main pitcher of the Northwest team, had to rest his shoulder per Little League regulations. If it wasn't for that, the South Korean team would've not been able to make a single run in the whole game.

The twins had put their little northern Idaho town on the map of many baseball fans all around the world. Under normal circumstances, not many people would've paid any attention to the Little League championship. But this wasn't a normal circumstance, not by far. Never since its opening season in 1939 had the Little League seen such an open score in a championship.

Everyone rooting for the Northwest team was ecstatic. The players were the happiest they would probably ever be (not realizing that they would peak at 12 years old), the parents were unbelievably proud of their sons, and the coaches were happy for the accomplishment of their students. The South Korean team and their parents were proudly ashamed...they were proud to have gotten to the championship and be the second best team in the world, but they were also ashamed of the score.

The Northwest team parents had decided to celebrate with a good old pizza party in the nearest Italian restaurant. The children deserved that much after such an accomplishment.

The parents were all taking pictures of their children with the trophy. From individual pictures to group pictures, all the way to the mandatory white people silly pose picture, the kids were all too happy to even bother with complaining. In the middle of taking all the pictures, Artemis was thinking about a certain brother of hers who was waiting outside. She had promised him that she would explain everything to him, but she didn't really want to do that. However, she knew that she should not lie to her own brother. She had always told him the truth, and he never really did anything to screw her over, so there was no reason why she should lie to him.

Although she needed to come up front with her brother and Atalanta (which would've probably be accompanied with the rest of the troopers), Artemis did not want to put her kids in the middle of everything. The least they knew of the world, the more they could keep enjoying a normal childhood. Once they were eighteen years old, she and Percy would tell them all about the greek world and all the incest that comes with it. But for now, they were happy, and that's all that mattered.

"Sharon, could you take Milo and Chloe to the pizza place? Me and Percy have to do something and we'll probably arrive 20 minutes late." Artemis asked the mom of one of the children.

"Don't you worry Artemis. I have plenty of space in my minivan, and I doubt Ethan will mind." Sharon, a white, blonde middle-aged woman replied.

"Thank you so much, and sorry for the bother"

"Oh you're good!" Sharon dismissed Artemis with her hand. "Milo and Chloe are probably one of the best behaved children I've met."

"At least they behave like that around other people. When they're home, they both turn into savages and begin to fight over the most little things!" Artemis laughed in her fake white mom laugh.

"That's how siblings are." Sharon chuckled as she put away her phone. "I'll text you the address as soon as we get to the pizza place."

"I would really appreciate that. Thank you so much!"

"It's really no problem!" Sharon said, walking away towards her son.

"Mom!" Artemis heard her son yell.

"There's my little champion!" Artemis said, hugging her son. "I'm so proud of you."

"Thank you mom. Did you see that curve ball in the fourth inning?! That guy didn't know what just happened!"

"Yeah I saw, didn't you hear me rooting for you?"

Milo blushed. "That was so embarrassing mom. You and dad could be heard all around the stadium."

"We were just so proud of you and Chloe" Artemis hugged her son even tighter.

"Yeah, I know."

"Where's your sister?"

"She's talking to dad over there" Milo pointed towards Percy and Chloe, who were laughing together. Artemis and Milo then began walk towards the other half of their family. "Mom, when we get back home, can we go on a hunting trip?"

"You're not old enough." Artemis replied

"But I'm twelve! I'm old enough to go on a hunt. I mean, Teddy Roosevelt was a hunter at age 7! Plus, I'll be with you so nothing bad will happen."

"I promise you we will go hunting later on, just not now. You'll understand when you're older."

Milo put his hands up. "You say that every year but I don't understand anything yet! I'm twelve years old mom! Everyone knows that twelve year olds are really mature!"

"What are you fighting about now?" Percy asked as he noticed the arguing mother-son duo.

"Mom won't let me go hunting!" Milo yelled

"Milo, listen to your mother." Percy said sternly

"Yes dad..."

"How can you do that so fast?! Why don't they respect me as much as they respect you?" Artemis asked annoyed

"Because I'm scarier."

"I know at least a thousand people who can deny that."

"Sure, whatever you say." Percy smiled. "Did you talk to Sharon?"

Artemis nodded. "Yes, and she has agreed to take the kids."

"Take us where?" Chloe asked

"To the orphanage. We don't want you anymore." Percy replied, earning a slap on the arm from Artemis.

"She's going to take you to the pizza place. Your father and I have to take care of something first, but we'll get there and be with you." Artemis explained.

"Why couldn't you talk with Josh's mom?" Milo complained

"Because I don't trust you with Karen." Artemis replied

"You have to let go of your Karen hate." Percy said

"I will let it go when she vaccinates her children! What kind of mother doesn't vaccinates her children?"

"And no offense, but Josh is pretty weird..." Chloe muttered

"No he's not! Josh is awesome! He's really cool to hang out with, and he makes the best jokes."

"Ok, whatever you say gaylord."

"I'm not gay. You're gay!" Milo yelled in outrage.

"I like guys you moron."

"Exactly, and that makes you gay."

Chloe looked straight into Milo's eyes. "Repeat what you said, and think about it, carefully. Don't reply, just think for a minute."

"Milo, Chloe, go with Sharon. We have to go now." Artemis said rubbing her temples.

"Alright mom." Chloe said

"You'll come to the pizza place right?" Milo asked

"Of course. Our babies just won the World Championship! We won't miss the celebration for anything." Percy grinned as he ruffled both of their heads.

"Have fun with the team!" Artemis said

"Bye mom! Bye dad! See you later!" the twins said in unison, running towards their teammates.

Percy and Artemis stood still as they saw their children head outside with their team. They were laughing with their peers, dunking a giant water jug on their coach, and just having fun being kids.

The married couple exited the stadium from another exit, meeting Apollo and the troopers face to face. The troopers did not hold any weapons, they simply stood there staring at Artemis with wide eyes. Apollo himself was almost paralyzed, still not completely believing, first of all, that Artemis was the person they had found, and second of all, that Percy was alive.

"Never thought you were that kind of mom." Apollo said breaking the silence.

"Why are you here?" Artemis asked

"The troopers and I felt a very big power surge coming from here, and so we came to investigate. Tell me, why hasn't the council been notified of two new gods?"

"Because last time the council found out about my son, our father issued a fucking manhunt." Artemis replied

"We've been searching for you for over seven years Artemis! Not once have you come up to tell us you're ok, or that you just want to be left alone."

Artemis rolled her eyes. "I was hoping you would take the hint."

"Artemis!" Apollo said in a scolding tone. "You know it is your responsibility to notify the council of new gods."

"Yeah, but it's never said when I have to tell the council. We were going to notify everyone when they were eighteen. That way they can enjoy their childhood just as any normal mortal child."

"But they're not mortals! A god isn't supposed to be able to play Little League Baseball"

"In their defense, there is no rule against gods playing baseball." Percy interjected

"Ok, parenthesis, how is he alive?! Poseidon told us he died in Atlantis." Apollo pointed his finger at Percy.

"I did die, but I came back for some reason, built myself a cabin, and re-met Artemis." Percy shrugged

"Where have you guys been living?" Apollo asked

"Somewhere in the Northwest." Percy grinned

"We're not going to tell you exactly where because we know that you're going to disturb our peace." Artemis added.

Apollo sighed. "Fine, I won't ask further. But you did say that you were going on Olympus when the siblings turn eighteen, right?"

The married couple nodded in unison.

"Lady Artemis," Thalia began to say. "I speak for all the troopers when we ask for your forgiveness. It was wrong on our part to treat you so badly on such a dark time in your life. We are deeply sorry."

The troopers fully bowed to Artemis. Each of them was pleasing forgiveness while looking at the ground, not really thinking they were worthy of looking the moon goddess in the eye.

Artemis was extremely uncomfortable. She hated looking at her hunters-now troopers- bow so cowardly at her feet. It wasn't that they didn't bow to her when they were under her command, but they didn't do it with such fear. Maybe it was that Athena was not treating the girls nicely, or maybe it was simply that they were afraid of the repercussions of their "disloyalty".

"Please rise." Artemis said. "Nobody has bowed to me in over twelve years."

"We are deeply sorry Lady Artemis. Please forgive us" Atalanta said

"Please forgive us." The troopers wailed.

Artemis groaned. "Rise, please, this is extremely uncomfortable."

The troopers rose one by one, still not able to look at the goddess in the eye.

"Now that you don't look so pathetic," Artemis began to say. "I'm sorry for deceiving you for so long."

"We're the ones who need to apologize." Atalanta said shaking her head. "You lead us for thousands of years and it was wrong of us to abandon you when you most needed us."

"You literally did nothing wrong. The group was handed over to Athena and she is in charge of you now. I'm the one who should apologize."

"No, we are still sorry for how we treated you. Please forgive us."

Artemis sighed. "How about we both accept the apologies and end this corny scene?"

The troopers nodded and went to hug their past patron. Artemis engulfed them all in the hug, feeling the slight connection she somehow held with the troopers increase. It had been so many years since she actually had seen the troopers and talked to them. They were once the closest thing she had to daughters, but now she would remember her as her sisters in arms. From Zoë to Phoebe to Atalanta, Artemis would remember each and every one of them with a warm heart, but time had moved on. Now they were part of her past life, the past Artemis, the Artemis that was not as happy as she was now.

"So, in six years right?" Apollo asked his sister once she finished hugging the troopers.

"That's correct." Artemis said, hugging her brother goodbye. "Oh, and please do me a favor."

"Depends on what it is."

"Please don't tell the council about this. I will come clean in six years, but please let us live peacefully while we can."

Apollo nodded. "I won't utter a word."

"We won't alert our mistress either Lady Artemis." Thalia said, as many of the troopers nodded behind her.

"I hate the word mistress." Percy muttered, nobody listening to his comment.

"Thank you all so much. We will see you soon, and please stay safe." Artemis said, grabbing her husband's hand and turning away.

Those six years passed flying by. After the Little League World Championship, the twins of Artemis and Perseus decided to start doing other sports. Even as many recruiters tried to get them to enlist in all-day training facilities in Florida such as IMG, the twins had decided to just live their life peacefully. They obviously didn't need the extra training, so why suffer when they could be going to parties and getting drunk under-age?

The twins turned out to be very good at every other sport they tried. Milo Jackson had entered his school's football team and had won varsity MVP for three years in a row, while Chloe Jackson had switched from baseball to softball. Neither Artemis nor Percy enjoyed watching their son play the barbaric game Americans called football, but they let him be happy with his life choices. After all, there was no evidence that football could cause brain damage in gods.

During those six years, the mood goddess and her husband had begun to teach their children all about the Greek World. Of course, the twins had a basis just like everyone else, but these Greek World lessons went in much greater detail. They learned important things such as that Demeter was a creepy cereal lover, that Athena was lying jealous b-person, and that Apollo was probably the most annoying person in existence.

The twins were very alike in many aspects. They both loved to play pranks on each other, call each other gay, and fight each other. At the same time, the twins had some key differences that made them very similar to one of their parents. Chloe Jackson loved everything that had to do with water. Even if she hadn't been to the ocean herself, she loved every photo and enjoyed spending time in the town lake. On the other hand, Milo Jackson enjoyed being surrounded by the trees and staying late watching the stars. His favorite constellation had alway been Orion the hunter. He always liked how his mother told the story and tragic fate of the ancient hunter.

When their eighteen birthday came, both gods had passed their entire childhood living as any small town mortal would. They had gone through heart-breaks, been the heart-breakers, gotten drunk, failed a test, made a TikTok, started drama with the furry community...in short, they did everything a teenager should and more. They had also applied to universities and gotten rejected by their top choices, but they did get into some good universities that suited their interests. In the end, they both chose the same university, even if it meant having to spend an additional four years next to each other.

"Happy Birthday!" Artemis yelled as both of her children came into the dining room.

"χαρούμενα γενέθλια!" Percy yelled at the same time

"No, it's too early for Greek." Milo groaned

"Why did we wake up so early?" Chloe asked

"Today is a very special day! You'll know all about it once you eat your breakfast." Artemis smiled as she handed them both a chocolate cake.

Chloe smirked at her breakfast. "Now this is what I call a balanced breakfast."

"Don't get sassy or else she's going to make us eat eggs." Milo said as he shoved the chocolate cake slice down his throat.

The twins ate their breakfast quickly and were left with a completely full stomach.

"You could've at least bitten your food and helped with your digestion." Percy mocked his children.

"Couldn't-" "-resist-" "-food-" "-too-" "-tasty." The twins said exchanging words.

"You better learn how to control yourselves, or else you'll stay paralyzed like you are...not that we mind because this actually makes it much easier for us to explain." Artemis said, sitting down in front of Milo. Percy noticed what was happening and sat on the chair besides Artemis and right in front of Chloe.

"Chloe, Milo, listen well what we're about to tell you." Percy said

The siblings nodded, feeling way too full to even talk.

"Ok, so what we're about to tell you will change your life forever." Percy continued

"Milo, Chloe, you are, how can I put this delicately..." Artemis began to say

"You guys are Greek Gods." Percy finished the sentence

"Riiight, and you're is Kanye West" Chloe said as Milo chuckled from the joke.

"It's true." Artemis said. "You guys are Greek gods just like us and your grandparents."

"Is this some sort of secret society in which we are initiated when we turn 18?" Milo inquired.

"No, it's the truth. We are greek gods and today we are going to take you to the Olympian Council." Artemis said

Chloe shook her head. "I don't care if you are my mother, I'm not going to any cult."

Percy put his hands on his face exhaled. "Children of Aphrodite are easier to convince than them..."

"Milo, haven't you ever wondered why I haven't taken you hunting even though I'm a very experienced hunter? And Chloe, haven't you thought about the fact that we have never gone to the beach no matter how much you have nagged?" Artemis asked

"Yeah...you still haven't let me hunt! I'm eighteen mom!" Milo yelled

"The reason has to do with this. If we had let you into part of our domains, then your powers would've been easy to detect by other Olympians and you would've been introduced to our world much younger, something that we didn't want." Artemis explained

"Why not?"

"We wanted you to have a complete childhood. We knew that once you were introduced to the Greek World, your whole world would've changed forever." Percy replied

The twins looked at each other and then at their parents. There seemed to be no trace of them lying or of this being a prank. However, they were still not ready to believe everything that had been told.

"How can you prove that this is true? That you guys are pagan gods?" Chloe asked

"Don't say pagan gods, that's offensive." Percy scolded.

"Sorry. But still, how can you guys prove that this is true?"

Artemis smirked evilly and snapped her fingers. All of the sudden, to loud screams were heard, one male and one female.

"Artemis! Turn them back. You could've easily done something else, like summon you bow." Percy scolded his wife.

"Yeah I know, but watching them freak out like this is kind of fun."

"I have boobs! Why do I have boobs?! And what happened to my-Ahhhhhh!" Milo yelled

"Why do I have a-ho-I-wha-so-" Chloe said at a loss of words

Just as easily as she had done the first time, Artemis snapped her fingers and turned her children back to their original genders. "Now do you believe me?"

"That was the most scarring experience I will ever go through." Chloe shivered

"Well it proved our point, so I think it was successful." Artemis grinned.

"Fine, we believe you." Milo said once calmed down. "Wait, are you like, the Artemis?"

"Daughter of Leto and Zeus at your service"

"Didn't you have some hunters that helped you?" Chloe asked

"Yes," Artemis sighed. "But they were given away to Athena."

"Why?"

"You'll learn more about that later. Now you have to change clothes. No child of mine is going to Olympus in pijamas." Artemis said standing up.

"Can't we do it later?" Milo groaned

"You'll do it now or else I will turn you into a girl again."

The twins quickly stood up and ran towards their rooms to change clothes. Artemis took the empty plates and put them on the sink, ready to be cleaned later on. Then she turned around and walked towards Percy, who was sitting down and fidgeting with his fingers. The moon goddess took his hands and pecked Percy's lips.

"Calm down. Everything will go alright." Artemis whispered.

"But what if they react the same as last time?"

"They won't, I have a fairly good feeling."

The parents sat on the living room, waiting for their kids to come back down fully dressed. The first to come down was Milo, who was wearing a simple sweatpants and a hoodie. Then Chloe came down, wearing a very short leather skirt and a tube silver top.

"No way. Go back up and change." Artemis said

"But mom! This looks really cute on me!" Chloe complained

"Chloe, what is the most prevalent type of relationship in Greek history?"

"Love?"

"Incest Chloe! More than half of those gods are your family, so I'm not taking any chances. You go up there and change."

"Fine" Chloe groaned.

"Don't you think you were a little over-protective of her?" Percy asked

Artemis turned her head to look at her husband. "Percy, you haven't seen Ares in action. The bastard is married to his twin sister. I've hear the phrase Incest is Wincest, which is gross by itself, but that pig is practicing in twincest! Now imagine what he would do to a girl who isn't that closely related to him."

"Mom, I'm not sure I want to go." Milo said after listening Artemis rant

"Don't worry sweetie, nothing bad will happen. I'm just being careful." Artemis flashed a smile towards her son.

Soon enough, Chloe Jackson came back down wearing some leggings and a sport-bra shirt.

"This is the most appropriate thing you'll wear right?" Artemis asked defeated.

"Mom, you know I have a good fashion sense. And part of it has to do with revealing a little something." Chloe said making extravagant hand gestures

"Who would say you're not Aphrodite's child." Artemis muttered.

The family went outside and stood in front of their house. Their house was far away from everyone else, but it still was close enough to the town so that nobody would question the family for anything. It was a total of fifteen minutes from the house to the twin's school, and about thirty to forty minutes to the town.

"How are we going to get to Greece?" Milo asked

"We're not going to Greece. Olympus was moved to Manhattan, at the top of the Empire State Building." Percy explained to his son.

"Then how are we going to get to New York?"

"We're going on the moon." Artemis replied.

Both twins began to laugh their asses off. They had yet not completely grasped the idea of Greek Mythology not being mythology, but now their mom was actually saying that they were going to be transporting themselves with the moon. The laughter was interrupted by the sound of reindeers, and a silver sleigh behind it.

"Kids, I present to you the moon chariot. Well, more like sleigh right now." Artemis smiled

"This...is the moon?" Chloe asked raising an eyebrow.

"That is correct."

"What about Neil Armstrong and the moon landing?"

"Fake."

"Ha! I told you Chloe! There was no moon landing, there is no Easter bunny, there is no Tooth Fairy, and there is no Queen of England." Milo laughed as his family all looked at him.

"Let's just head to Olympus before we lose any more brain cells." Percy said, getting in the front of the sleigh. Artemis sat besides him while the twins sat in the back. "Arty, isn't it weird for the moon to be out in broad daylight?"

"It's not common, but the mortals can comprehend it, so I'm allowed to do it."

The family of four made their way from Idaho to the Empire State Building. It only took them around an hour to get there, but it was still quite a lot when that hour was spend with bickering twins. And even worse was the fact that their curiosity seemed to peak in that hour, making them ask every question known to mankind.

Artemis parked the moon chariot close to the Throne Room, which would make the family walk only around three minutes. On the way to the throne room, the twins were admiring every work of art that Olympus had to offer. There were way too many statues of Apollo and Aphrodite for Artemis taste, but that's what you get with narcissist gods.

There was nobody on the Throne Room when the family arrived. The twelve thrones stood in their majestic selves, each holding enough power to kill a mortal. The twins looked around the throne room in awe. If they hadn't believed their parents then, then they definitely believed them now.

"Milo, Chloe, sit on the foot of my throne next to your father." Artemis told them before growing to her godly size.

"This is the weirdest birthday to date..." Chloe said

"Amen sister." Milo agreed.

The twins sat down next to Percy at the door of Artemis throne. The moon goddess then conjured her bow and launched an arrow to the ceiling of the throne room, effectively calling a meeting.

One by one, the angry Olympians began to flash to their respective thrones. The last one to arrive was Zeus, who seemed to have been quite busy before being interrupted. However, much to Percy's and Artemis surprise, Hera did not glare at Zeus.

"Ok who the fuck called this meeting?!" Zeus asked angry

"I did father." Artemis said.

All the Olympians turned to look at her for the first time in eighteen years. She seemed to have changed, being in her 35 year old form instead of her usual 12 year old one. She was wearing a suburban white mom outfit, yet she seemed happy with that choice.

"Artemis?! You came back!" Zeus said

"Yeah, and I brought the whole family with me." Artemis said motioning to the foot of her throne. Percy grinned and waved his hand to all the Olympians while Milo and Chloe tried to hide somehow.

"Wow, who's the babe?" Ares asked

"Yeah, I was going to say. She's kinda hot." Dionysius added

"That would be my daughter so keep your hands to yourself unless you want an arrow on that thing that makes you a man." Artemis threatened, making all the gods straighten themselves.

"Daughter, where have you been all these years? We have searched for you for quite some time, but as you may know, came back empty handed. Where you in the land beyond the gods?" Zeus asked

"Nah, I was in Idaho."

"...Idaho?"

"Yeah. It really isn't that bad once you take all the white supremacism out." Artemis explained

"Are we not going to talk about the fact that Percy's alive?!" Aphrodite asked/screamed

"Yes, thank you! I was thinking you guys forgot about me" Percy faked his hurt

"Percy...how are you alive? We never found a trace of your body on Atlantis." Poseidon asked

"I really don't know how I'm alive. I know I died, cause there was a time where I was not alive, but then some time passed and I was no longer dead, I was alive."

"That vocabulary overwhelms me." Athena mocked

Percy turned to the wisdom goddess. "Athena, nobody likes you, so do us all a favor and shut up. I get it, you wanted to have a date with me even though you knew I was married. But when you found out I wouldn't cheat, you got cranky and sought to fuck my family up. However, time has passed, so move on, fuck someone else, just not me, my wife or my kids. To sum it all up, shut the fuck up."

There was a silence before some gods began to applaud. Among them were Apollo and Hermes, whom were cheering, and Aphrodite who was just happy that someone finally put Athena on her place.

"I love you Percy!" One of the gods shouted amidst the cheering.

"I love you too random citizen." Percy winked

Once the cheering calmed down, Zeus cleared his throat ready to talk, but was interrupted by Hera.

"Have you heard of Hector?"

Artemis and Percy face both fell, making the Olympians uneasy.

"He sent a thank you to Apollo for letting him stay at his cabin and house, as well as a thank you to Hera for taking care of him." Artemis said melancholy.

"Who's Hector?" Milo asked

"Hector was your brother, the first son your mother and I had. However, unlike you two, he was born mortal for some strange reason. We couldn't raise him ourselves, so we sent him to a camp for demigods. He lived there until he was twelve, then he lived with my mother Hera, and then he lived alone for some time. Then he fought a war against Kronos, which we won largely thanks to him." Percy explained

"What happened to him?" Chloe asked

"He faded." Artemis replied

The Olympians all stared at Artemis as if she was crazy. Percy had just said that he was born mortal, so how could his should have faded? In order to fade you would need to be immortal.

"What do you mean he faded?" Hera asked

"His soul has faded in the void. He didn't tell much about it on his note, but he said that Kronos will never rise again. I bet it has something to do with that."

"So that's why his soul wasn't anywhere...it all makes sense now." Zeus muttered as the rest of the gods nodded.

"Let's change the subject." Artemis quickly said. "I actually came here to present my kids and so they could receive their domains."

"Right! I have a new nephew and niece!" Apollo said happily. "I tell you Milo, you are going to have so much fun at the strip club! We'll go to a Canadian strip club so you can drink and watch girls dance at the same time."

"Apollo, you are not taking my son to a strip club." Artemis said

"Why not?"

"Because he has a girlfriend."

"He has a what?! Then we gotta start building a cabin at Camp Half-Blood ASAP! You know that our family has very fast swimmers."

"I don't have a girlfriend." Milo muttered

"What was that?" Artemis asked

"I broke up with Emily." Milo shrugged

"What? Why?! She was such a sweet girl"

"Because she wanted to marry me! There's already like five people from our class getting engaged, and she also wanted to get engaged, and like no. I'm eighteen."

"I got something that can aid your heart" Aphrodite said, winking at the young man.

"Aphrodite please leave my son alone." Percy said

"Sorry, force of habit."

"Can we get back on the domain thing?" Hermes interrupted all the bickering

"Yes! We must call the-" Zeus began to say before a flash of light appeared on the center of the room. The three fates had just arrived and were ready to grant the domains to the twins of Artemis.

"Milo and Chloe Jackson, please step forward." The three Fates said in unison.

The twins got up and walked towards the Fates. They were very afraid of the Moirai, and with great reason. The Fates were very creepy for anyone, and the children of Perseus had just been introduced to the Greek world.

"Milo Jackson, son of Artemis and Perseus, you have been assigned the domains of the Future, Conservation, Sports, and Stars." Milo glowed a silvery-yellow color as his domains became one with him. After feeling complete, the new god of Stars went to sit down on the foot of the Throne of Artemis.

"Chloe Jackson, daughter of Artemis and Perseus, you have been assigned the domains of the Past, Fresh Water, Rebellion, and Fertility." Chloe glowed a silvery-blue color as her domains became one with her. Same as her brother, the goddess of Fertility went to sit down on the foot of the throne of their mother.

"Perseus, son of Hera and Poseidon, heir to the Olympian throne and to the throne of Atlantis, you are not the god of time anymore. The ritual of time has been completed, and with Kronos faded from existence, you now hold the title of Titan of Time." the Fates said in unison before leaving.

"Zeus, father-in-law, suegro, suocero, petherós," Percy said chuckling as he put his hands up in surrender. "I have no plans of going after your throne or doing anything diabolic, so please don't strike me."

Zeus laughed hard. "Son in law, I do not believe you will try to take the throne. I have learned from the past. You don't have to be afraid of me, we are family after all."

"...Is this a prank? If it is then please stop." Percy said

"No, I am not pranking you Perseus. I sincerely regret my actions of the past, and even though I cannot change them, I will spend the rest of my life trying to make up for it." Zeus said truthfully

"I-um, thank you Zeus."

"It is no problem." Zeus replied. "I call this meeting adjourned."

Many of the Olympians flashed away quickly, which only left Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Apollo, and the family of four on the throne room.

Zeus was the first to shrink himself to a normal human size. He walked towards his grandchildren, and without any sort of prevision, hugged the twins. The children of Artemis were completely surprised by this (even though one of them was literally the god of the future), and therefore didn't know how to react. After some seconds, Zeus pulled away with a great smile.

"I may not be the best father, or husband, or grandfather, but I'll try to make it up to your parents starting with you. So expect a lot of presents from your grandpa Zeus." the Lord of the Sky smiled as the twins grinned.

After Zeus left the Throne Room, Poseidon shrunk to his human size and walked towards the family. Instead of hugging his grandkids, the Sea God hugged his son.

"Percy, I'm so glad you're ok." Poseidon said

"I am too father. I'm sorry I couldn't save the infantry back in the war."

"They fought valiantly; it was an honorable death Percy. Still, I'm glad you're alive."

Percy smiled. "I am too. If I had died then I wouldn't have been able to raise my children."

Poseidon turned towards his grandkids, who both stared curiously at the Sea God.

"Hey kids, I'm your Grandpa Poseidon, the coolest of all the grandparents. If you ever need anything, just talk to the sea. I gotta go now, take care!" Poseidon said before flashing out.

Next to approach was Hera, who was smiling greatly. She hugged Percy as if there was no tomorrow, crushing every bone on his spinal chords.

"I missed you too mom" Percy managed to say.

Hera then released Percy, who was happy to finally be able to breathe, and turned to her grandchildren. "So, Chloe and Milo?"

"Yes ma'am" the twins said

"You look so much like your father." Hera told Chloe, who blushed at the comment. "and you, Milo, it's like I'm looking straight to Artemis."

"That's what I've alway heard, that I'm a male version of my mother." Milo said proudly

"Except that mom actually has neurons" Chloe interjected.

"Well at least I have brain cells."

Hera chuckled at the bickering twins. Then she turned to Artemis, and much to the surprise of the moon goddess, gave her a hug.

"Thank you for bringing Percy back Artemis. I never really thanked you for that. If it weren't for you, he would still be in that blasted island. But look now, he has a whole family, and it's all thanks to you." Hera said as she hugged her daughter-in-law.

Artemis hugged back. "He's the one that has helped me. He has made me happier than I ever could've imagined. And he's the one that actually gave me a family."

Hera pulled back from the hug and smiled, taking her leave from the throne room.

"I have to admit sis," Apollo came down from his throne and joined Artemis. "never in a million years would I have thought that I'd see Hera hug you."

"Neither would I."

"Doesn't it feel like a lot has happened, yet we still end in the same place? Sure, you have a family and Percy is no longer imprisoned, but you're still going to end up being the same goddess of the hunt. Milo and Chloe are going to become their own gods with their own decisions, and you're going to go back to live in solitude. Was everything worth it? All the suffering and secrets?" Apollo asked

Artemis turned her head towards her family, watching as her beautiful children fought and how Percy sat bored watching them. Then, he looked at Artemis and smiled brightly. That same smile that had made her fall in love with a stupid boy all those years ago.

"It's not about what we gained, it's about the journey. I may end alone with Percy just like I was on the island all those years ago, but I'm a completely different person and the world has changed because of it. The death of my first child helped me raise my other children much better, and even if they do not continue on living with me, they have still shaped me into a completely different person and they will also continue to change the world. So yeah, everything was worth it."

Apollo smiled at his sister, feeling incredibly proud of the maturity she had reached.

"Is it ok if I take Chloe and Milo and teach them archery and stuff? I promise that I won't take them a strip club or anywhere you wouldn't approve of. I just wish to have a little uncle-nephew-niece bonding time." Apollo asked

"Yeah, of course." Artemis replied. "Milo, Chloe, come here a second."

The twins stopped their bickering and approached the other set of twins.

"How would you guys like to spend the rest of the day with your uncle Apollo?"

Chloe thought about it. "I mean, shouldn't we spend our birthday with our paren-"

"I'll let you guys ride on the sun." Apollo said

"Mom we would like to spend the day with Uncle Apollo!" the twins yelled

Artemis laughed. "Alright. Have fun you three."

Apollo grabbed the sibling's shoulders and led them outside, telling them a couple of lessons on 'how to live awesome'.

Percy approached Artemis and hugged her. Artemis hugged back, leaving her head fall on the crook of his neck. Together they flashed back at their house in Northern Idaho, being alone for the first time in eighteen years. So much time had passed, yet they still ended up together. After two wars, the death of one of their child, the death of one of them, the loss of the hunters, yet they still ended up as in the start. Together, without a care about the rest of the world, they would spend their life.

"Feels good being alone." Percy commented

"It really does." Artemis said

"So...what do you want to do?"

Artemis looked at Percy and smiled. "Let's play some WiiSports."

OK I don't know who to thank, so thank all of you who have read this story. Even when things weren't looking up, ya'll still read this. I know I'm not the best at endings, and I hope it doesn't seem too rushed. I really hope you appreciate this story, because I know I have enjoyed writing it.

This story will not have a pt.2 simply because there is nothing else to write. The cycle of the story is complete, and that's how I intended it to be. Plus, I really wouldn't know what else to write about.

If you want to check my other story, it's called My True Colors. It's quite different from this one, like really different, but I really like writing it. It's a Pertemis also, so for those of you who are always looking for new Pertemis fics, there's one.

Again, thank you all for joining me on the journey of writing this story.
