LAST TIME:
"Well believe it or not I am smarter than I look just like Perseus, but I knew if Zeus knew about you back then...well the vision I saw was not one of beauty." He said as Zoe looked saddened a little.
"Why is my existence such a problem for Zeus?" Zoe asked as I sighed.
"Because he is a prick." All three of us answered as she just busted up laughing.
"So dad care to explain why mom is reverting back to an Omega?" She asked as we all looked to her as she shrugged.
"I like eavesdropping." She said as I sighed.
"Well..." I said as I slowly stood up and popped my back as I faced all three.
"I don't know why I am saying this, but the only logical reason I can see as of why Artemis is turning back into an Omega is because she is unconsciously looking for an Alpha." I said as the room went quiet.
NOW:
PERCY POV:
"Explain." Zoe said immediately after a minute passed.
"Well if you think about it I am not wrong. Simple putting it is because Zoe is in danger." I said as Zoe looked confused.
"Explain it better than that." Artemis said slightly angry.
"Fine. Artemis your body is reverting back into its Omega form because you had a daughter, you are looking for an Alpha who can protect you and your offspring. So to help attract a suitable Alpha that can protect you as well as your offspring you are reverting to your Omega state. Simply since an unclaimed Omega which you are, is something any Alpha searches for. You are simply in a way, putting yourself out there." I said as Artemis looked ready to hurt me.
"Are you saying I am turning into a slut like Aphrodite?" She asked in a deadly tone as Zoe glared at me.
"What? No! The changes you will be experiencing is nothing like Aphrodite, just clearing that up. By putting yourself out there I simply mean your Omega pheromones will activate and you will start to put off a scent to unconsciously attract Alphas. During this time you will create filter in your mind to judge these Alphas from good or bad and some other things. But the only thing is that once you find your suitable shield...well you are going to 'want' them." I said as Artemis looked very unhappy but she knew she could not control it.
"What do you mean by want?" She asked me.
"You will want them to be near you or Zoe at all times, but I cannot promise you won't develop feelings for this Alpha as well while they are close to you. But as long as the threat is present you will do anything to keep this shield close. However once the threat passes the need for a shield will end and you will no longer 'want' that person. But that is just if you felt no love feelings for this shield." I finished as all the gods glanced at one another as Zoe still seemed to be processing the info.
"How do you know so much about this?" Apollo asked as I rubbed the back of my head.
"Because I have been the shield for a few Omega's in the past, I don't know what it is like from you point. But for me it is like you simply want to keep this person safe from anything, but I after the threat was gone those thoughts faded. However I would be lying if I said they did not linger for a time. So if Artemis is lucky she can find a shield she holds minimum loving feelings for and more protective feelings." I said as Artemis seemed to get slightly upset.
"Who says I don't want both?" She said as we all turned to her as she seemed to notice she said something.
"What?" She asked confused at our stares but she quickly dismissed them, not realizing she spoke her mind outload.
"Wait what will happen if my feelings...stay on the Alpha and his feelings stay for me?" Artemis asked unsure how to say she what would happen if she liked her shield and didn't want them to leave.
"Worst case scenario you become eternal mates, best case scenario the feelings simple fade after a time." I said as Artemis blushed at the word 'mates'.
"How will I know if I my Omega likes this shield and wants to become mates with them?" She asked me.
"You will go into a deep heat that won't be satisfied until the two of you...have sex and mark one another." I said as Artemis seemed to pale.
"What is a deep heat like?" Artemis asked as I laughed.
"You know how when something itches sometimes and you can't reach the inch and it just keeps getting bigger and bigger?" I asked as she nodded.
"Well it is like that with a normal heat, it will only continue to grow until you cannot bear it anymore and you submit to your inner Omega and its urges. The only thing is this heat grows very slowly unlike a normal heat, so it can take almost years for the Alpha. But during that time you will give off a pheromone that only that Alpha can sense to keep them close." I said as Artemis seemed kind of grossed out.
"So your saying little sis is going to smell like something the Alpha likes to keep the Alpha close to her. All while she tries to accept these feeling for the Alpha that she has not control over? Sounds kind of force to me." Said Apollo as I shook my head.
"You see that is where you are wrong, it takes a mutual feeling between both the Omega and the Alpha for the deep heat to activate. The deep heat is kind of like Aphrodite in a way, it does not create the heat it simply nurtures it and make sure it develops." I said as Apollo nodded.
"Well sis looks like you're going to have to suck it up and fall in love with a dude you will like in the future." Apollo said earning a punch to the shin sending him to the ground with a cramp.
"You shut up, so there is nothing I can do to stop this change and shield searching." Artemis said as I shook my head.
"But I can keep myself from becoming a mate with one if I try." She said as I nodded as she nodded as well.
"That is good enough for me, though I do not like the idea I cannot stop it. Anyways don't we have a meeting to get to? Percy that reminds me I want to talk to you more about this whole shield thing after the meeting" Artemis said as I nodded and looked up at the clock to see we had about 15 minutes until the meeting started.
"Well with your butt all frozen still I don't see you sitting in a chair anytime soon." Zoe said as Artemis blushed.
"Like I said we could have the meeting here." I said walking over to a wall as I threw my arm around to signify I was pointy at the room.
"I will not let-!" But Artemis was quickly cut off by Apollo.
"Well I don't see why not, I bet even some of the Olympians might like to take a dip in the pool hot tub.' He said as Artemis looked ready to kill him.
"Oh that does sound nice." Zoe said as her eyes lit up, but I don't blame her. Hot water that bubbled was a rare commodity that appeared very little in the hunt.
"Plus Artemis doesn't really have to move." Said Apollo as my daughter nodded as they both ignored the one person in the room who this was centered around.
"What do you say mom? Please it would be really nice! Also maybe it could help Zeus relax a little before we tell him about...well my birthright." She said as Artemis just stared into Zoe's pleading eyes as she tried to put up a resistance.
"You know maybe afterwards we could go get that cake you wanted Zoe, I could also get those presents I owe you." I said as Artemis glared at me for making this harder on her.
"Oh we could throw Zoe a birthday party here!" Apollo said as Artemis saw Zoe's eyes lighten up drastically as she finally sighed in defeat.
"Fine! I don't even care about what I look like anymore, just go and tell the rest. Also you might want to increase the size of the hot tub." She said motioning to the 5 person only hot tub.
"I thought you didn't like water in large amounts?" I said as she glared at me.
"I don't mind them if they are filled with Nectar and heated to a perfect relaxing temperature." She said as she snuggled into the warmth of the water.
"Well it is settled, we are having our council meeting here. Then Zoe's birthday party." Apollo said as I nodded as I sat down in a wheelchair in the room as I got a funny look from Zoe as I started to wheel around.
"What are you doing?" She asked as I began to balance on the back wheels as Apollo flashed out leaving one slightly annoyed mother and a giddy daughter.
"Having fun...don't you have a bathing suit?" I asked Zoe as she looked down at herself.
"Yeah, but it is in our hunting gear which is all still frozen shut." She said with a groan as I glanced at Artemis as she rolled her eyes.
"Just join me in the water and I will flash you one on." She said as Zoe seemed hesitant but got into the warm water with her clothes but as she did the water seemed to sooth all her pains. Instantly though she found herself in a simple swimming suit one piece that was silver. She just smiled as she gave Artemis a hug and began to swim in the ow 15 person seater hot tub.
"This is nice." Zoe said stretching as she floated by Artemis who just giggled at her daughter.
"Why don't we have something like this at the hunt?" She asked as she popped her shoulder.
"We don't have electricity and it is too bulky." Artemis replied calmly as Zoe groaned. But now that she got me thinking I was wondering if the hunt was still searching for me?
"But Thalia can provide the electricity and we can put it in one of our magical tents." She said as Artemis laughed.
"Yes but imagine what would happen if Thalia got mad if she was in the hot tub." Artemis said as Zoe shivered at the idea.
"Never mind then." She said with a groan as I continued to wheel myself around on the wheelchair.
"Dad are you going to join us?" Asked Zoe as I glanced down at her as she floated on by.
"I feel if I did all the ladies would be interested in me more than I care for." That instantly got me a summoned shampoo bottle to the head from a certain goddess.
"Ow, I meant I can't because the water has nectar in it. I am still human which means nectar is a no-no for me." I replied as Artemis nodded as Zoe giggled.
"Oh my, what is there here? I heard Apollo wanted the meeting in his temple because Artemis was injured but he never told me it was a hot tub council meeting." Said a new voice as I turned to see Aphrodite in a simple blue dress and heels, her hair had changed from back to deep red as well.
"Yes now go away your opinion is not need in this one." Artemis said groaning at as she rolled her sore neck.
"No way!" Aphrodite said as she walked past me with a confused stare but I just gave her a shrug as I continued to play in the wheelchair. But she just simple appeared in a slightly skimpy red bikini that outclassed just about any mortal women in had ever seen in a bikini. She just sighed as she put her arms across the back and relaxed into the nectar infused water.
"This is nice." She said with a sigh of relief.
Soon more gods came all prepare for the hot tub council meeting each in respective swim where, even Hades and Hestia came. Hestia in her 8 year old form and dressed in an onesie as she cannonballed into the water. Hades just grumbled about reminding himself to get one of these for Persephone. Even if he didn't like to admit it, he would do anything for that women. Poseidon basically came in his normal attire without the Hawaiian shirt, Demeter was dressed in a two piece with flowers on it.
Athena was a grey two piece with a see-through veil wrapping around one leg and her butt, but she simply sat on the side of the hot tub as she dipped her feet into the warm liquid as she relished in the feel. But in her hands she had a record keeping book that I knew was for all meetings. Hermes was a pair of yellow turns and like Athena he sat on the side as he texted like crazy. Ares was a pair of red trunks and plopped down to the relaxing Aphrodite.
Hephaestus simply took up a chair on the side with his knee brace and a shirt and a pair of trunks on. Apollo joined the others in the pool as well in a golden Speedo that made us all shiver. Mr. D too up a chair like Hephaestus but mostly because he probably would have fallen asleep in the pool and drowned. He simply wore purple trunks as his feet barely touched the water he was so close.
The last to arrive were Hera in a similar attire as Athena but hers was light blue and Zeus who wore white trunks with little lightning bolts on them. Me I simply stayed to the side getting odd glances from everyone, even Mr. D as I sat in my wheelchair as I played in it. By this time Zoe was sitting by Artemis who had changed into a simple grey wetsuit that came down to her knees.
"Apollo this is nice, we should do this more often." Said Ares surprisingly as everyone nodded.
"Well since we are all here I say we pass a motion to do so ever 3 weeks." Said Apollo as there was a majority vote with 14 yes's.
"Well now that we got that settled I believe we all have noticed a certain person who agreed discuss his part in this upcoming war." Zeus said as all eyes turned to me as I had replaced my wheelchair for an actual chair as I placed it by the others.
"I haven't agreed to anything yet." I simply said as I saw Zeus's eye twitch.
"Percy...shut up." Said Artemis as I huffed in annoyance as I crossed my arms and closed my eye ignoring her.
"Anyways he is here to currently discuss how he might participate in this upcoming war with Olympus." Said Artemis as I gave her a thankful glance.
"My services are not free and the way you guys suggested to even coax me to be here stepped over my line a little." I said as Artemis shot me a glare again but softened a little as she thought about her misdoing.
"We understand that you are not really up to help us Percy but please here us out before you start deciding what you do. Also if am to guess correctly the photo we showed you was also a promise to let you see her when the war was over." Hera said as I just scoffed angrily as I shook my head.
"Indeed you are correct but even then, it will take more than just a simple picture of a women to make me fight for you." I said as she sighed.
"What else would it take for you to come to our aid?" Hestia said as I thought about.
"I need a couple promises from all of you and at least 5 absolute favors for each god I can call in, also all the information about the human world you can get me. I haven't seen another human in 1000 years I think I missed out on a lot of things." I said as they all turned to Zeus to see him rolling over my request.
"The information of the human world is no problem." Athena said for her father as he shot her a glance.
"But a god does not easily give out a favor let alone 5." Said Poseidon as he scratched his beard.
"Also what kind of promise are you looking for Perseus?" Asked Demeter as I shrugged.
"I was a promise to let me see the women in the picture also to leave me alone for the rest of eternity. I also don't want you all scrambling to my feet whenever you have a threat on your doorstep." I said as Zeus got angry.
"We wouldn't have requested you come here in the first place if it hadn't been a war that we I admit we have no chance of winning." He hissed at me as I rolled my eyes.
"Yes just like the first titan war and giant war, as well as the second ones as well. If you ask me you Olympians sure do bite off more than you can chew. So tell me who is it who you have angered this time? Was it Nyx because Zeus claimed light was better than darkness or was it Tartarus because you kept sending to many demigods down there?" I asked as a heavy air filled the room.
"It is the Old Ones Percy you know that." Artemis said as I rolled my eyes again.
"Indeed I know who the old ones are. Merciless gods older than most primordials that thrive on the hate and sorrow of all mankind. Not limited to one Pantheon either if I am correct, but yes these Old Ones are indeed powerful. But the last I remember was Chaos banishing them to a whole other planet in a different dimension." I said as they all nodded.
"We all know the legend but apparently they have found a way to travel between dimensions without using a black hole." Said Athena as I raised an eyebrow.
"So what I have been feeling in the mana flow is their scouts I presume?" I asked as they seemed surprised.
"Yes it appears so, but as far as we know they have amassed an army in the trillions to extinguish life on this planet like they have done in their current dimension." Said Zeus as I was intrigued.
"How do you know that?" I asked him.
"We managed to capture one of them, currently they are being kept in the dungeon bellow the throne room. If you wish we can let you see him." Athena said as I slowly nodded.
"Find if you all agree to my terms right now as well as letting me talk to this Old One I will agree to help you. I have met a fair share of Old Ones in the past millennia and I know their ideals about human life. Even I cannot sit around and watch my favorite planet become a smoldering pile of ash." I said as they all seemed to think about it as I sensed they were all having a mental conversation with one another.
"Fine we will agree to your terms as long as you decrease the favors to 2, also you we will allow you to personally meet the women once a week. But only as long as you continue to show results in this war." Zeus said as I shrugged.
"I can live with that, I agree to the new terms." I said as he nodded with the rest of the council.
"It seems the terms are laid out and agreed to for Perseus to join our side, is there anything else anyone has to add to this council meeting?" Zeus asked as Artemis slowly raised her hand, this basically surprised everyone she was doing such a thing.
"I do-." But I cut her off.
"Actually I want to pull a favor from Zeus right now." I said as some gods chuckled as Zeus got a little angry.
"Now is not the time." He said as I barked a laugh.
"No now is the right time to pull one, I want you to promise you will not freak out or get angry until Artemis fully explains herself." I said as Zeus got a curious gaze as he slowly looked at his daughter.
"Why?" He asked me.
"I cannot tell you until you agree to the terms of this favor." I said as he boiled over it.
"Fine I swear n the Styx to not get angry or 'freak out' until Artemis finishes." Zeus said as thunder seal the oath, but as it did I could see Zeus physically relax as he slumped in the water as he seemed surprised.
"Looks like the Styx picked up her game a little, Zeus how do you feel right now?" Hera asked as he shrugged.
"I don't know, more relaxed then I had ever felt in my life." He said with a sigh of content ness as I smiled.
"Looks like the Styx took away his ability to get mad or angry, I am starting to like these new oaths." I said as thunder rumbled in the distance that sounded kind of happy.
"Now Artemis continue where you were." Hera said taking charge as Zeus seemed go super relaxed.
"I had a child with Perseus." She said as the whole room when quiet, everything but the bubbles of the hot tub were going on. The news even brought Mr. D out of his wine induced sleep as his eyes were huge at the news.
"Well that is just...." Hera tried to but couldn't find the right words. Zeus at this point seemed like he was trying to get angry but couldn't for the life of him as his face scrunched up.
"I knew it!" Yelled the 8 year old goddess as she stood up in her brown onesie, her finger pointing at me as I raised an eyebrow.
"While we are on family screw ups, I broke that 5000 year old pot last month." Hermes said without missing a beat.
"Yeah I kind of destroyed your house last month." Said Hades to Zeus.
"I used all the council's money to buy new clothes last year." Aphrodite said as everyone seemed to roll their eyes already knowing it was her.
"I drank the last of your milk in your fridge and put the jug back inside yesterday." Said Demeter to Zeus.
"I was the one that set your law on fire about a week ago." Apollo said to Zeus.
"All of you enough, Artemis please explain what you mean by 'had a child'." Hera said being the only sensible person in the room as Zeus seemed to be raging on the inside but his anger seemed to die out after a second.
"Well..." She said as she started to explain thoroughly about the events that led to Zoe's birth as all the gods listened in. Zoe during the mean time sat by me on the edge of the hot tub as Artemis explained the whole thing. Finally after a hour she was done as all the gods sat thinking of the whole ordeal.
"Well it is good to know Artemis finally found a man for her." Hera said as Artemis blushed solid gold.
"What!" She yelled at Hera as the goddess of family just looked confused.
"Well Zoe is your and Perseus's daughter and I don't see any reason you can't be a family. It has never happened in the council before but I believe this would be a perfect chance for a member to marry the mortal they connived with. It would actually be nice to see one of the gods take responsibility and marry the one mortals they had a child with?" Hera said as Artemis looked infuriated.
"I am a maiden goddess still! I will not get married to this...male." Artemis said throwing her hand in my direction.
"As much as I do love having a family I do not feel that getting married to Artemis will help our relationship." I said as Zoe shot me a small glare as I gave her a 'what' face.
"Aphrodite what do you think?" Hera asked as the goddess of love shot awake from her small nap.
"What?" She asked rubbing her eyes as Hera rolled hers.
"I was asking if you think Artemis and Perseus should marry because they had a child, I believe this is a good chance for a god to take responsibility. Also Perseus is immortal so he could be with Artemis for eternity." Hera said as Aphrodite eye's widened.
"Are you still on this whole 'gods should marry the mortals they connive with' phase?" She asked as Hera glared.
"Well since the rules about being around the demigods were abolished in the last titan war I do not see why this cannot be done." She said as Aphrodite groaned.
"Because gods kind of don't like taking responsibility for their actions." I said as all of them shot me a glare.
"Hey I can take responsibility." Artemis said to me as I raised an eyebrow.
"Really Artemis? The show me how much you can take responsibility and marry Perseus so your child can have a loving family." Hera said as Artemis bit her lip.
"Can I have a say in this?" Asked one angry looking but still calm Zeus.
"You ignored Artemis for the first millennia for her life so no." Hera said as Zeus glared at her, but was quickly shut down by a glare back from Hera.
"I don't care what you guys decided I am still not marrying Artemis." I said as Artemis glared at me.
"Why? Am I not good enough for you?" She asked as some of the gods said 'oh snap' as I sighed.
"You are more than good enough but to get married it has to be a mutual love, can you say you will love me and not feel hate towards me because I am male?" I asked as it looked like Artemis looked trapped.
"Then how about a trial run." Said Athena as everyone looked at her.
"I can see what you are saying Hera but you also do need to take Artemis feelings into the equation. So I say let's have a trial run." She said as I couldn't believe this was actually happening. But me not being a council member made it so I had no opinion in the matter, even if I threated them all the votes would still be cast and I could do nothing.
"What do you mean Athena?" Asked a surprisingly monotone Hestia who I could tell was mad, but I guess after our past I could see why.
"I mean that have Artemis and Perseus marry for a short time, let's say a year. During this time we will observe their daily lives from a distance and see how their relationship goes. If in the end we find that their marriage is working then we seal the deal and have an eternal marriage like Zeus and Hera."
"But if we do this then maybe we can start taking Hera's idea and start testing it with other gods. Have it so that if they conceive a demigod with a mortal then they are required to marry the mortal and live with them until the demigod reaches a certain age. This way the demigod gets all the love they need from both parents and in a way preventing future events like the second titan war." Athena said as I realized how serious this was becoming.
"I could see that happening but I know some gods do have more children than others. How will we deal with that?" Asked Hera as Artemis couldn't believe what was happening. Even Zoe looked surprised.
"I say let them have children but have the god split themselves up like what we do to be in two place at once." Athena said as Hera nodded.
"I do not like the idea of the god being married more than once, but I do see the need to keep the demigod population up. I believe this might work." Said Hera with a happy tone as Artemis looked around at the thinking gods as if asking them not to listen to her step mom.
"I might enjoy that actually, it has been a long time since I have raised a child along with another." Poseidon said remember Amphitrite who had divorced the sea god after the second giant war, but who is to blame her. I wouldn't want to be cheated on as well.
"It is settled then, Artemis is to marry Perseus for a trial run marriage. If it succeeds then we will start testing it with multiple gods and goddesses. Now let's vote." Said Hera with a clap of the hands.
"Wait! I am not marrying Perseus." Artemis yelled at them as I sighed seeing her family ignore her pleas.
"Well there is nothing we can do daughter." Zeus said in a stiffened tone as all the gods began to raise their hands, eventually the vote was 12 to 2 in favor of the marriage.
"Well Artemis is to be married to Peruses at the end of the month. Aphrodite you are in charge of-." But she was cut off as Artemis jumped out of the pool and started to run away as I saw tears filling her eyes as I sighed.
"Great look at what you all did." I said as I stood up and started to jog after her with Zoe on my tail as all the gods looked confused.
"Artemis wait!" I yelled as I opened the door she slammed on her way out. Quickly I followed her into the hallway as I followed the golden tinted water on the ground.
"Mom!" Zoe called as we chased after Artemis as I noticed the feet marks on the floor were getting close together as we approached a door. I just looked up to see the words 'janitors' closet' on them as I heard sniffling inside.
"Artemis can you please open the door?" I asked.
"Go away!" She yelled as I sighed, as I did I looked to my side to see Zoe looking up at me.
"Can you at least let Zoe inside." I said seeing Zoe's worried face. After a minute I heard a soft click as I backed up and Zoe quickly slipped inside as I heard her hug Artemis. I just waited for about 5 minutes as I looked to see some gods glancing out a door leading to the hallway as I motioned for them to go away.
"Perseus I am scarred." Artemis said as I sighed.
"I know you are, I can feel it in your magic aura." I said as she barked a small laugh.
"Of course you do, is there anything you don't know?" She said as I smiled.
"What the future holds, I can make guesses but I can't predict the future." I said as I leaned up against the door as I show Ares a glare as he quickly shut the door to hallway leaving me alone with the girls.
"Well then I am giving you a task." She said with a sniffle.
"What kind of task." I said.
"Guess what our future holds, tell me it is going to be all okay. Tell me what just happened is going to turn around and we won't have to marry." She said as I stayed silent for a moment.
"I can't change the events of the past no matter how much I try. I can't tell you it will be all okay either because if I did I would be lying to myself and you. All I can do is make this work out in your favor." I said as she laughed.
"Worry about yourself once in a while." She said as Zoe laughed with her.
"Sorry no can do, when I see a pretty lady crying I can't help but try and make them feel better." I said as Artemis was quiet.
"Percy...are you okay with this?" She asked me.
"If I said I was then I would by lying but I cannot say I don't dislike the idea of being married to you. A family is one thing I have yet to accomplish in my long life. Sure I have loved before but never had I family with the one I love. If I think about it this is the closest I have actually ever came to having a family." I said as Artemis seemed to be thinking as her aura said. Zoe on the other hand was excited beyond Apollo getting a new car.
"So you are okay with marrying someone like me?" She asked with a sniffled as I chuckled.
"Why wouldn't I be? You are Artemis goddess of the hunt and most man hatting goddess on Olympus. But you are the mother of my child and the one person that seems to get me to do things I don't want to. But the real question is are you okay with marrying someone like me?" I asked as she went quiet for a minute as I felt Zoe nearly combust in happiness.
"I-I don't know. I don't know if it is me or this stupid Omega inside me, I don't know what I should feel anymore?" She said as I sighed.
"They don't try and feel anything just let it take its course, I know the future will only get harder if you fight your feelings. Trust me combating fate itself is much harder than you want it to be, so for now let's go with the flow of fate and see where it takes us." I said as I heard her snicker.
"Laid back and collected that is so you, but I guess I will tread these waters with you. What about you Zoe? Are you us for this marriage? It will mean you will have to be close to a man." Artemis said.
"Well I guess I will have to live with it." She said but her aura said she was so happy she could die, well who wouldn't if their parents were getting back together in a sense.
"So Artemis let me as you a question." I said as I heard the door open as I looked to see Artemis with Zoe at her side as they came out of the room. Artemis's eyes were a little red but otherwise she seemed fine as I smiled at them.
"What might that be?" She asked as I walked in front of her and kneeled down in front of her as I pulled an old silver ring off my finger. The ring itself was a simple pure silver dagger in disguise that I used to kill werewolves, but it seemed right at the moment.
"Will you marry me?" I asked as she rolled her eyes as Zoe just smiled at me.
"Is there any options where I say no?" She asked.
"No there isn't." I heard someone call as I saw a couple gods drag back a struggling Hera back through the door as all three of us laughed.
"Never thought I would be doing this." She said as she extended her hand as I smiled and slipped on the ring.
"I take that as I yes?" I said as I stood up as she looked down at the ring on her finger as I saw a faint smile trace her lips.
"I guess it does doesn't it." She said as I raised any eyebrow. Zoe saw this and smirked as she decided to speak.
"Mom you're supposed to say yes." She whispered to her as Artemis sighed and looked up at me.
"Yes I will marry you Perseus." She said with a small grin as I smiled. As I suddenly picked her up at the sides as she eeped as I spun her around. As I did her arms around my neck to try and prevent herself from falling down. As the spin finished I just held her body off the ground as I kept her pressed against me.
"She said yes!" I yelled as Artemis glared at me as I kept her up off the ground in one arm. I just burst out laughing with the rest of the gods as they all walked over to us. Little did I know that from that point the domino effect of my love life would start. The only question was if the women in the photo was the first domino and Artemis was the second who were the others?
