Chapter 2: Part Of The Past, Photo, Old Love

A/N: Hey guys just so you know this is just a rewrite of a story called The Undying Mortal. It is just so I can make it less messy and easier to understand for all. But the main part is I think...no I know I can write a better story version of this one. I don't know when the next chapter will be out but for the time being this is all I got.

LAST TIME:

"Well Artemis I think 5000 years is enough time for her to not know, so go on a tell her." He said to me as I silently cursed him as Zoe just stared at me as I took a deep breath and let it out slow as I spoke.

"Zoe I would like you to meet your father Perseus Jackson first Mortal and first human Alpha in existence. Also the very man who changed me from an Alpha to Omega with mana and helped me give birth to you."

In that moment a loud number of what's came from outside the hunters and a blush brighter than Apollo's teeth shown on Artemis's face. But Zoe could only do one thing in that moment, she fainted.

NOW:

PERCY POV:

Well here I was in probably the most desolate place in the planet with a maiden goddess and her hunt who by the way were all yelling at me. But to me this is a walk in the park compared to some of my past experiences in this world. Those can be discussed later though after the hunters aren't trying to rip out my throat.

Oh my I must have forgotten to introduce myself my name is Perseus Jackson first human to ever walk this earth. But don't get me wrong I was born or created long before Athena and Prometheus decided to get together and created the human race. No I was a trial run of Prometheus's before the gods were even born, you see it takes a long time to make a being so complicated.

But to put it simple I am nothing like when I was first born into this world, I was not molded out of clay but shaped from some of the last metals the primordials used for their weapons. But Prometheus made a mistake in this process, he gave me life without the help of Athena who carries all knowledge. This was his first and last mistake of this kind since I was born not knowing anything, even how to breathe.

To say the least I wasn't much of a looker as well, my skin was charcoal black from metal and my form was bent and crooked from not being left to cool long enough. I could see, hear, taste, feel, and smell nothing I was even so unknowledgeable that I didn't even know I was alive. I felt like a brick of nothing and to tell you the truth Prometheus threw me away like a broken project.

I was left to suffer for thousands of years while being alone and unknowing of this world around me. But soon my body began to cool after decades of being so hot that if I moved my body would have bent even more out of shape. My black skin began to peal from my body and reveal tanned untouched skin. My senses slowly came to me as first I got my senses, it took nearly a millennia but finally my form reached a point in which I am today.

I even went as far as using discarded tools left over by Prometheus to pound my still cooling body into place to look like the titans did. Thankfully my body was still malleable by the time I gained my sight and touch. But when finally several century's had passed I emerged from the hellhole I had been living in with a new body. Even without my knowledge of sculpting one learns over the years how to do it properly based on the designs around him.

Originally I stood nearly 100 feet tall but still shorter than the titans at the time, my head was round and shapeless and I had no body hair. Thankfully Prometheus did find the need to provide me genitals which is the only thing I ever and grateful of from him. But during the time in the pit of trash, with the tools I found I began to pound at my limbs and body.

Slowly over time with the constant pressure of the hammer my body banging away at the hot metal it began to condense and shrink until I stood 6 foot 7. My frame no longer bulky but now almost thin but not at the same time, like I was built to be an agile but powerful fighter. But my features I molded myself and from the comments I have heard before it is perfect. Well I guess deep sea green eyes, semi long obsidian black hair and a perfect face is attractive to the ladies.

Speaking of ladies I was currently sitting in a chair by the bed that held my daughter and her unconscious form as Artemis was avoiding my gaze as I sighed deeply. It had taken nearly 30 minutes for Artemis to calm down her hunters as I had put the asleep Zoe in the only bed in the room. 'Thankfully' the room had just large open windows without the glass so the hunters were all currently looking at me and Artemis.

"I guess I should explain in finer detail about the birth of Zoe shouldn't I?" Artemis asked as all her hunters nodded as they shot me glares. Well everyone except Phoebe who knew the whole story, but was forced to swear an oath to keep it a secret. Actually the hunters at the time were forced to swear the oath and apparently Phoebe was the only one who was left of them.

"I thought Zoe was a daughter of Atlas?" Said one of the hunters who was new to my eyes. Well most of the hunters were new to my eyes actually, it had been nearly 5000 years since I had seen any form of human life. Well except for her but that was a different story.

"That is a lie created to mask her true identity, I was the one who suggested Artemis create that lie." I said as all the hunters glared at me then looked at their mistress as I just rolled my eyes.

"Milady please tell me this isn't true, please tell us you didn't break your oath with this male." Said one of the hunters as she basically made a cake out of pure poison and fed it to me with the word male.

"No I didn't, but Zoe is indeed both his daughter and mine." Artemis said as a wave of confusion rolled over everyone.

"I don't see how that is possible." Said one of the hunters as Artemis sighed and brought her hand up to her head and rubbed her temples.

"It is complicated, very complicated." Said Artemis as I nodded as all the hunters gave me a very impatient face.

"How complicated can it be?" Asked Atlanta as Artemis looked up at for an explanation.

"I used a unknown power that gods and demigods or any immortal for that fact cannot use to force a massive physical change in Artemis's body so she would no longer be an Alpha. You all may be wondering how a Female can be an Alpha, well it can happen but it is a one in a billion chance. Artemis was just that one in a billion, but at the time there was no god or goddess or any technology to change her." I said as all the hunters slowly nodded as I could see the confusion slowly dissipate.

"That is when she came to me and begged me to help her-."

"I did not beg you to help me!" Artemis said as I raised an eyebrow.

"Really? Because I remember you getting down on both your knees and telling me if one more of your hunters bent down in front of you again. You were going to have your way with her against your and her will." I said as all the hunters eyes widened and turned to Artemis as her face was a deep gold color.

"I-I never said that." She hissed at me as I smiled.

"Really?" I asked as all the hunters seemed to have the same question. Artemis just couldn't stand the stares as she let out a deep sigh.

"Okay I might have said that, but that was a long time ago when I didn't have control over being an Alpha." She said as I laughed as all the girls looked shocked.

"M-Milady...you almost raped a hunter?" Asked one of the girls in a timid voice as Artemis tried to speak but I beat her to it.

"Yes she did but back to the story." I said as Artemis gave me a thankful glance as the girls seemed to focus back on me.

"Where was I? Oh right so Artemis came to see me back when I lived in Greece and demanded I change her to something other than an Alpha. She wanted to protect you girls from herself and me being the nice person I am agreed to help her-." But I was cut off again by Artemis.

"See I did it for you girls." She said as most glanced at one another and slowly nodded, seeing their mistress even went to a male to save them from her.

"Also I paid you, so don't lie about you being a nice person." She growled at me as I rolled my eyes.

"By telling me you could touch a maiden goddess and not be turned into a small furry animal." I said as she rolled her eyes.

"It was enough wasn't it?" She said with a blush as some of her girls sighed.

"Yeah I guess you could say that, plus it did earn me a few favors I have still yet to cash in." I said as she glared at me.

"Well anyways back to the story, in the end I used my mystical powers to make a large change in Artemis's body so she would no longer be an Alpha. However since it was my first time doing such a change to anyone I didn't know the side effects." I said as all the girls eyes widened.

"Wait you had never performed this surgery or operation before Artemis?" Asked Atlanta as I shrugged.

"Well I had performed it before but on humans which are much easier to work with since we are basically made out of the substance I can manipulate." I said as I noticed the confusion amongst the girls.

"You all must be wondering what this substance is aren't you." I said as they all nodded.

"I call it mana." I said as I heard one of the girls snort.

"You mean you named if after a video game's resource for magic." She said as I barked a laugh.

"No remember I am older than every human in existence and most gods for that fact, but in fact video games named it after what I call this substance." I said as they all were surprised.

"But this mana as I call it is basically what makes up every single non godly thing in this universe. I don't really wish to go into detail since mana is very vast subject but to say the least Artemis cannot control mana but can control magic. I cannot control magic but can control mana, so in a word it is the opposite of magic." I said as the girls just looked confused.

"But if you cannot control magic and if what you said is true then you shouldn't be able to affect Milady's body since it is made out of magic." She said as I nodded.

"Indeed that is correct but that doesn't mean they can manipulate one another, such as Poseidon who can control water which is made out of mana but he is made out of magic. You see his magic is made to manipulate only water mana so he can control water, such as Zeus's magic is able manipulate the mana of lighting and air. But since gods only specialize in domain magic that is the only mana they can manipulate." I said as that seemed to clear up the air.

"So what you're saying is basically their magic is only good for controlling certain elements. But that doesn't explain how mana can manipulate magic. Also wouldn't that give you control over every element and every single thing in this universe?" Asked Atlanta as the air grew heavy as I sighed.

"Well to answer the later question...yes it does, since I can control all mana that does mean I can control this universe. But I do not possess enough power to manipulate mana as complicated as time mana and space mana. I can only control mana as complicated light and darkness but time and space are out of the question."

"Now to answer your second question if mana is introduced to magic in its purest form it can completely erase that magic. However converting mana into its purest form is something that even I must take a long time to do. But once mana is in its purest form it can manipulate magic by erasing it." I said as one of the girls connected the dots.

"So you mean you used mana to erase a piece of Milady's body?" Asked one of the hunters in a dangerous tone.

"Yes he did, but the part he erased was not part of my body but a part but part of my soul. You see my soul was extracted from my body by the help of one of my goddess friends. Then at the same time Perseus here used pure mana to erase the part of me that made me an Alpha. Then with the same mana he placed it inside me and then the goddess encased it in an anti magic barrier which is one thing pure mana cannot erase."

"But over the next week the magic in my body began to adapt to the pure mana in my body and began to convert it into magic. This happens to mana when it is surrounded in magic, it begins to absorb it and turn into pure magic itself. But when my body was changing the mana into magic it absorbed it. Thankfully the goddess placed a spell on me to halt the magic absorption to two thirds of the amount of magic Perseus expelled from me." As Artemis explained this the daughter of Hecate's eyes lit up as I gave her a grin as she guessed the goddess.

"But if Perseus put back the same amount of mana that he took out in magic what happened to the left over mana?" Asked Phoebe who actually didn't know this.

"Well you are looking at her." I said as I motioned to Zoe as all their eyes went wide.

"Yes all the left over mana needed to go somewhere and the only place it found in my body was my womb. I happened to be on my period when this all when down so when my altered soul was place back into my body after a week the mana needed to find a place to go. Instead of leaving my body it found my womb which trapped the pure mana inside it. It found my egg inside my womb and in turn fertilized which 8 months later led to Zoe." Artemis said as she stroked her hair as the hunt went silent.

"So in the simplest explanation, I performed a soul surgery on Artemis with the help of a goddess. The leftover mana from Artemis found her womb and fertilized her egg, and the egg grew and was nurtured in her womb and in turn Artemis gave birth to Zoe." I said as I smiled at the sleeping child as she drooled a little in her sleep.

"So does what does that make Zoe?" Asked one of the hunters as I turned to her.

"I believe Zoe is classified as a demigod correct?" I asked Artemis as she nodded.

"Yes while in my body some of the mana that was Zoe absorb my magic as she grew in my womb. So in a simple terms it was like I was impregnated by a...male and gave birth like any other goddess." She said as I nodded.

"So wait does that like make milady another Virgin Marry?" Asked Atlanta as I just looked at Artemis who just looked stunned at what her hunter just said. But I couldn't help but chuckle at the thought as everyone's eyes landed on me.

"Yes it does but let me tell you Mary and Artemis are worlds apart in personality, trust me I have met both." I said with a snicker as everyone but Artemis's jaw hit the floor.

"You met the Virgin Mary?" Asked one of the girls in disbelief as Artemis instantly had a stone like face.

"Well it is no surprise I do remember you carrying the nickname 'the wandering Jew' did you not?" Asked Artemis as I got a lot of hateful glares at that.

"Why is that everyone thinks I am the wandering Jew? Sure I met the guy and had a beer with him but why does that make me instantly have the name the wandering Jew?" I asked them as Artemis just rolled her eyes as some of the girls looked offended.

"That man was cursed by god for what he did to Jesus and how he taunted him, why in the hell did you have a beer with such a horrible man?" She said as everyone looked at her as she grew a blush.

"I went to a catholic school cut me some slack, but tell me why in the hell would you be so nice so such a man?" She asked as I shrugged.

"What can I say? I was waiting for a movie to start and decided to have a beer before I watched it. He just happened to pick the seat beside me, apparently he couldn't pay for his beer since the barkeep basically told him to skedaddle. But I offered to buy him a beer since who doesn't need one once in a while?"

"But we got talking he told me he was the wondering Jew I told him I was the first living human and we kind of hit it off. We talked for the night I ended up missing my movie but I did meet a very thoughtful man. You would be surprised what the curse did to him. But I think he lives in one of the homeless shelters in New York now. But who knows it has been about 1000 years since I met him." I said as they all looked stunned.

"And you just didn't decided to tell anyone that a literal piece of history and proof of immortality was drinking at a bar with you?" Asked one of the girls.

"Well he asked me not to so I didn't tell anyone." I said as they all looked stumped.

"Can't say I blame him though, if he had basically the most of the world would be after his neck. Also I thought that god didn't exist." Said one of the hunters as I shrugged.

"Well god does exist but in Greek mythology he goes by the name of Order. Nice guy horrible joker though. But yeah if you think of god then the guy you are worshiping is Greek." I said in a honest tone as they didn't seem to know what to ask next.

"Perseus why do I have a feeling you have met this male before." Artemis sighed as I shrugged.

"Hey for the oldest human in existence you kind of meet some interesting people, and I met him long before you were born. After that one meeting I kind of had a feeling he was the one responsible for this whole Catholic religion. He was the kind of guy that would do something like that, basically to him it is a side project he got caught up in." I said as their mouths dropped as I saw Artemis raise an eyebrow.

"So you're saying the most worshiped religion in this world is a simple side project that this 'Order' created." She said as most her hunters still seemed stumped that I was older than Artemis and she didn't deny it.

"Yeah kind of...Oh looks like we are going to have to cut this nice conversation short. Looks like sleeping beauty is waking up." I said just in time for Zoe to groan and begin to move as everyone locked eyes on her moving form.

"Oh my gods." Cursed Zoe as she slowly sat up and rubbed her head. The then began to rub the tiredness out of her eyes as she looked to Artemis.

"Milady I just had the weirdest dream." Zoe said as Artemis tried to hold back a small smile.

"What might that be Zoe?" She asked as she switched which of her legs crossed one another.

"I dreamed that I was your...daughter." Zoe blushed in embarrassment at the statement.

"Really that sound very interesting." I said as Zoe froze and looked in my direction as she saw the grin on my face.

"Oh god it was real." She said as Artemis say my grin and decided to play along.

"Is being my daughter really that bad?" She asked in a fake hurt tone as the hunters just watched in amusement, it wasn't often they got to see Zoe all flustered.

"What? No milady I didn't meant that." She said in a panicked tone as Artemis got a confused looked.

"Milady? I thought I was your mother? You hurt me so much Zoë, not calling your own mother mom." She said in a hurting tone as Zoe blushed and looked down as I snickered in amusement as the hunters all did the same.

"I am sorry...m-mom." She whispered as Artemis smiled and pulled her into a hug as Zoe slowly embraced her. Artemis then looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Well come on lets have a family hug, I think 5000 years is long enough to have one." She said as Zoe shot me a glare.

"I am good I don't think your hunters will let me live if I hug their goddess and head hunter." I said as the hunters all seemed to remind themselves I was a male as they all glared at me. Phoebe just chuckled in the background and shook her head as Artemis sighed.

"Fine but I think they might allow you to hug your daughter you haven't see in five millennia." She said as all the hunters gulped as they knew Artemis pretty much said they weren't going to complain if I was going to hug her.

"What do you think Zoe? Want a hug?" I asked as Zoe just glared at me but after a minute she slowly stood up and slowly opened her arms into a pre hug. I just smiled as I stood up and opened my arms, but then I quickly wrapped them around Zoe as she was slightly stunned. She was small in my large arms, her head fit perfectly in my chest as I felt her slender arms wrap slowly around me.

But we exchanged now words as suddenly Zoe's hands clenched in my shirt as I felt warm tears begin to soak my shirt. Zoe just held me tighter as I could feel her pour her emotions into the hug. She knew I was her father it was her internal instinct that said I was, her soul knew who I was and the years of built up emotions just all begin to break apart. Her sobs began to fill the air as her arms tightened even more around me, I just stroked her head and kissed the top of it as her sobs turned into wails of pure emotions.

"She it is okay I am here now." I said as I pulled her closer. All the hunters seemed uncomfortable at the scene as most turned away, most were not used to a caring father figure in their lives. So the scene of a daughter getting to hug her father for the first time was very unusual to say the least.

"W-Why didn't a-anyone e-ever tell me? I went years without any family, I thought I was alone in this world. I have been fed a lie my entire life, why would you do such a thing to your own daughter?" She sobbed into my chest as I gave a weak smile to Artemis as she did the same to me.

"Because it was to protect you from Zeus, if he knew of your true heritage he would destroy you without a second thought. Trust me and your mother on this one, what we did was harder on us than you can imagine but it in turn kept you safe. Plus your mother was always there to keep an eye on you so it just added to your safety." I said as her sobs continued until they slowed down, after a little I let go as Zoe looked up at me with blood shot eyes. She then wiped her eyes with her hands a little as she turned back to Artemis.

"Was it really all to protect me?" She asked as Artemis nodded as she gave her daughter a sad smile.

"If my father had known about your truth birthright he would have exploded into a billion little lightning bolts he would be so angry. Also you know your grandfather doesn't listen to stories long enough to understand reason." She said as Zoe chuckled lightly at the thought of Zeus exploding.

"Yes I understand but couldn't you have at least made my father a god and not a titan?" She asked in as I chuckled.

"Atlas only agreed to be your fake father because Perseus kind of forced him to." Artemis said as I shrugged.

"How did you do that?" She asked as I shrugged.

"Kind of just asked him to and when he refused I just said I might chop his dick off if he didn't." I said with a shrug as Artemis rolled her eyes.

"You know I am starting to think he is different from other males." Said one of the hunters as the others nodded seeing her point. Artemis and Zoe just laughed at her tone as I smiled at them, but then I got a serious face as I faced Artemis and my daughter.

"Yes but Zoe you must know something currently I am not in a relationship with your mother, I trust you can see why." I said as she looked at Artemis who was rubbing the back of her head.

"No...I don't see why you can be with one another. I am a product of you two coming together, so I don't see why you can't be in a relationship with my mother." She said in a defensive tone as I sighed. The hunters seemed to have the same reaction as they started to see me as a male who left a pregnant women alone.

"Artemis can you transfer the knowledge of her birth to her?" I asked as Artemis nodded as she reached up as Zoe leaned forward and closed her eyes. After Artemis touched her head there was a small glow on her finger, after a minute Zoe pulled back with wide eyes as she looked between us two.

"So you two didn't even have sex to have me." She said as we shook our heads.

"So what does that make me? I am not a product of love but the product of an experiment." She said as she looked down at her hands as they started to shake. But they were quickly snatched up by Artemis as she looked right into Zoe's eyes.

"Don't you ever say that, I carried you in my womb for 9 months. I loved you more than life itself so do not think to yourself that you are not loved by me or your father. I don't ever want you to think that we didn't love you as much as any normal child. It is just that..." She left the sentence hanging as she looked over at me.

"I was in a relationship with another immortal at the time." I said as there was a deadly silence as Zoe looked at me a little shocked. But then I saw her face start to realize that Artemis was not looking to have a child but to have her soul changed.

"But how could you love a child that you had on accident?" She asked me as I laughed lightly.

"That does not matter Zoe, the process of which you were made and birthed does not matter. Do you think that Hephaestus cares that Aphrodite was born from a clam, or any god for that fact? The only thing that matters is that you are alive and well, you could have been born from a flower for all I care. But that does not change the fact you are my daughter and I love you with all my heart." I said with a smile as Zoe began to cry again as Artemis looked at her confused.

"Zoe what is wrong?" She asked as Zoe laughed a little.

"It is just that...I have never felt so loved before. So this is what it is like to have parents." She said as she laughed again as Artemis gave her a smile and a kiss to the forehead. All the hunt was basically crying or at least trying not to cry at how happy this small family was. Though I could sense they were still not happy with the fact their mistress was in a relationship with a man.

"How about you and the hunters god chase Happy around, I need to have a talk with your mother." I said as Zoe looked up at me with a small smile on her lips.

"Okay...dad." She said as a larger smile graced her lips as she jumped out the window as all the hunters were all trying to ask her how she was feeling. But once they all disappeared from view I turned my attention to the 19 year old goddess.

"Well I bet that is a weight off your chest." Artemis said as she put a hand on her hip as I nodded.

"Indeed it is." I said as she laughed and shook her head.

"You know sometimes I feel like a couple that was married at one time then we got a divorce, but we couldn't seem to stay away from one another and became awkward best friends." She said as I laughed.

"Sometimes it does I will admit that." I said as Artemis rubbed her arm as she looked up at me.

"Percy do you know why I really came here?" She asked as I nodded.

"The old ones are moving again, I can feel it in the mana. The flow is off and uncontrolled, there is also much larger blotches of collected magic that they left behind. But I don't see how any of this concerns me." I said as Artemis eyed me.

"Because your daughter is participating in this war, I know you watch her from the mana flow. I can sense your eyes lingering on her as you pass over the world. I am not stupid Percy I know you would not let any harm come to her." She said as I starred at her.

"Threats are not your forte Artemis you forget you are in another land in which you are only as powerful as a normal demigod. I have the power to capture you and your hunt and keep them encased in the ice asleep and safe from the old ones. " I said in a threatening tone as the room darkened as Artemis gave me evil eye.

"Athena knew you were going to say that so they gave me something to make sure you helped us. I don't really want to use this tactic with you but I must." She said in a sad tone as I lifted an eyebrow.

"What could the Olympians possess that could possibly force me to help them again? Have I not lost enough in this world to them, do I not deserve at least a millennia of peace?" I asked her as she gave me a sad face as she reached into her parka which was on her chair as she pulled out a piece of paper.

"We found someone that we have placed under Olympian surveillance." She said handing me the piece of paper as I looked at her then the photo as I almost dropped it right there.

In the photo was a women about 23 years old that was currently enjoying a cup of Starbucks coffee as she read a book called Moby Dick. Her lush shinny dark brown hair was cascading down her back. On top of her head held a dark green beanie that matched her left eye which held a beautiful bright emerald color. But her right eye it did not instead it held a lush baby blue color that was as soft as the ocean.

Her face was almost like that of a goddess's as it was beautiful and shaped perfectly, a small smile gracing her lips soft light pink lips. Her soft tanned skin in perfect and in sync with her lips. Her body hidden by the table but I knew that she stood at least 5 foot 10 and walked with a grace unknown to humans. Her body was perfectly shaped and her body proportions fitting her fit and most likely muscular body shape. But as I starred in shock at the picture I couldn't help but recognize the women as, everything about her screamed at me.

"W-Where was this photo taken?" I asked as the house rumbled a little as some of the cups of water shook violently. Artemis however just stared at me in sadness as she seemed to hug herself a little. I knew she was slightly upset over the fact that she had to deliver this kind of blow to me.

"I am not at liberty to tell you." She said in a small voice as suddenly the photo caught fire in my hand as my anger got the better of me. The mana around me condensing as the air got hard to breath. But I just calmed myself slowly as Artemis just stared at me.

"Why do you always do this to me?" I asked as I walked over to the kitchen and clenched the table ledge as its think wood cracked under my grip.

"..." Artemis kept her words to herself as I sensed her bite her lip and her magic flow become disturbed but quickly fixed itself. I knew the goddess claimed to never have feelings for any man but even I could sense that disturbance was a deep ugly feeling of jealousy. But who wouldn't be jealous when the man you cared for showed such feelings towards another women?

I knew she cared for me more than she than she claimed to, we had a child together why wouldn't she? I knew that she thought that if she was to ever be in a relationship with a male I would be the male she would come to. Even I admit that I did have feelings for Artemis long ago while I was in my relationship. I think it was around the time I found out she was pregnant and she needed shelter from the gods.

Even now I feel those small embers of love still burning between us an unspoken rule seemed to form though. It was a love not allowed by rules by either of us, I was in love already and she was a maiden goddess. But still with the birth of Zoe we seemed to find each other closer to each other than should be allowed. But that was nearly 5000 thousand years ago.

"What does Olympus need me to do?" I asked as she finally spoke. As I felt her bite back more ugly feelings. I could feel her wanting to scream at me for why I wouldn't have done this if she hadn't show me that photo. Why I wouldn't have done it if it was just her asking me, why I go so far for another women and not her.

"Win this war and then Zeus promises he will let you see...her." She said as I nodded. By this point even a stupid person could feel how painful Artemis's words were. I knew she would never admit it, but Artemis had feelings for me.

"Fine...we leave in an hour. Gather your hunters and prepare them to go, I have a few things I need to do before we leave." I said as she nodded but I stopped her as she looked at me with unfocused eyes. I just have her a sad smile as I leaned down and left a small kiss on her cheek as she froze.

"Thank you for taking care of Zoe in my place...also it is good to see you again Artemis." I said as a deep golden blush spread across her cheeks, slowly a hand found her cheek as she rubbed the spot I kissed her. Even I blushed a little as I felt the embers of our old love grow hot, but I quickly quelled the feeling as I focused.

"I-It is good to see you as well Percy." She said quickly as her blush grew and she quickly stormed out of the room. A round of 'Milady are you okay?' filled the air as she responded with a simple 'Yes I am fine we are leaving in an hour, so hurry and gather your things'.

"Oh Chaos why do you do this to me and my love life?" I asked as I looked up at my ceiling and sighed. Then I began to gather the things I needed for my trip back to the last place I wanted to be on this earth and that is coming from a man who lives in Antarctica.

So do you like it or dislike it, give me some feedback. I like reviews more than Tom Brady likes deflating footballs. Bam! First football slam of the season right there. But come on everyone I enjoy review guys so let me have em.
