Chapter 8: chappie 6

revealing... an older Nico.

"Percy what did you do" Nico asked his cousin 

"I didn't do anything Neeks, the fates here got bored and wanted to share our story with this universe's us" Perseus responded, before starting to catch him up on what has happened so far in the story, before Sally started reading.

(An: Perseus's Nico, is going to be called Nicholas, from now on, because I feel like it)

"hey dad?"

"What is it Z" Perseus asked

"yes Zoe?" Percy asked his daughter

"What's happening tonight that's got everyone excited?" Zoe asked him

"Capture the flag" Percy replied with a smirk. "I'll be allowing you to use your assassin skills, as long as you don't kill anyone"

"Wait would she kill us" some of the younger campers asked

"If I told her not too, then there's about a 1% chance she would, but you would really have to piss her off for that to happen" Perseus said, watching some of the campers go pale.

"Or if they are an annoying boy, then I might 'accidentally' slip my blade" Zoe said, only to get glared at by Sally

"Mom, don't she's her mother's daughter when it comes to that, and if Zoe didn't kill them Arty would probably turn them into a jackalope, for getting too close to her daughter" Perseus said catching his mother's gaze.

Zoe nodded and Percy walked towards the big house where he saw Artemis talking to Chiron and the Assassin said, "Hello my dear"

Artemis turned around, smiled and said, "Hello to you as well"

"I assume that no one knows about this?" Chiron asked

"Our daughter, Thalia, and Nicholas knew about it, and probably Hestia too, but she doesn't snitch on anyone" Perseus said, causing the people from his universe to laugh and Hestia to chuckle lightly

"You assume correctly, Chiron" Percy replied, "Also I already know who Zoe's mother is"

"How did you figure it out?" Athena asked, causing Sally to laugh rolling around on the floor before continuing.

"How did you figure it out?" Artemis asked her eyes trained on the floor

"it's still a legitmate question" Athena huffed as the demigods, including all of her children, started laughing at her

Percy sighed and said, "I've already assumed thanks to three main things. 1, she's stronger during the full moon and wherever the moon shines. 2, she has your skill with a bow and hunting knife. 3, she could practically be your little sister with the exception of the green eyes and dark hair"

"And if you want a fourth, she naturally distrust males unless I trust them already" Perseus added on

"Do you forgive me?" Artemis asked

"I do" Perseus said, "But the correct question would be if Zoe does" ,which only earned a light chuckle from Sally.

"Yes I do, but you must make it up to me, by telling Zoe tonight after the game" Percy said as Artemis nodded in agreement before getting a mischievous smirk on her face, before saying, "I think I know when I can claim her..."

Percy raised an eyebrow and was going to reply, but Artemis kissed his cheek, before flashing away and leaving the Son of Poseidon in a daze.

"I have a feeling everyone of my descent will be getting claimed after their first CTF game or War games appearance" Perseus said, thinking off into the future

'Not if I end your line' Zeus thought, trying to come up with  away to send his other self a message to kill the sea spawn and his daughter...and son for that matter, even though it became clear the boy wouldn't be making an appearance.

Chiron chuckled and said, "I don't think I've ever seen her this happy...I think that it's good that you got a maiden goddess to fall for you Mr. Jackson"

"Dangerous but yeah it's been good thus far Chiron" Perseus said, which caused most to nod in agreement about the dangerous part, including Arty.

Percy snapped out of his daze and said, "All she needed was someone who would be loyal to her and show her love...She told me about Zeus's plan...I hate that he wants to put her in a marriage that will leave her to be just like Hera"

" I would never do such a thing to my daughter" Zeus said, "and what do you mean just like Hera"

"He probably means stuck in a loveless marriage, with her husband constantly cheating on her, and you most certainly would do that if one of your favored bastard sons asked" Hera scolded her husband before anyone else could speak

"What do you plan on doing about it?" Chiron asked with a raised eyebrow. "Once Zeus learns of your child being the daughter of Artemis, he'll hunt you both down and turn Artemis mortal as punishment"

"Murder, possibly multiple counts of it, but still at least one murder" Perseus said, a bit too joyfully which unsettled those in the room who didn't know what was to come of the God Strength.

"I'm going to do what no other demigod has done before, Chiron," Percy said, as he flicked his wrist out and blade came out of his sleeve, "I'm going to assassinate a god"

With Zoe; fifteen minutes later

"Why do I feel like I'm not going to like this" Sally stated

"Because you probably aren't" Zoe said, knowing what happened that day during the time her father wasn't watching over her.

"Hello baby," A male Zoe's age that looked like a miniature Heracles

"When we get back remind me I got to go kill that insolent boy for flirting with my daughter" Arty said, which only got Thalia and Zoe to smirk, while Perseus and Nicholas shared a fearful look, causing the others to become scared.

Zoe just kept walking, not paying attention to the Spawn of idiocy.

"Hey! Listen to me when I speak to you!" the Son of Heracles shouted, before putting a hand on Zoe's shoulder, to which she reacted by flipping him over her shoulder then bringing out a knife and putting it on his throat, all in the split of a second  and before saying, "Don't speak to me like that and you might survive to see your next birthday. Got it?"

"Zoe why didn't you kill him" both Artemis's and Thalia's asked

"Dad said no killing, not sure if he only meant during the game or not though, so I decided to play it safe"

The son of Heracles nodded and Zoe let him go, before looking around and seeing her Aunt Thalia.

"Hey Aunt Thalia," The unclaimed Daughter of Artemis said, walking yo to her aunt. "Are you going to tell mom and dad about what happened?"

"Definitely, it was bad ass" Thalia said, getting a look of approval from her other self.

Thalia looked up to the roof of a cabin, before saying, "I don't think I need to tell your father about it, but your  mother? Absolutely"

"why not daaaa..." Zoe trailed off and went silent, before saying, "Heeee's right behind me isn't he?"

"yes...yes I was" Perseus said

"Yeah," Thalia said as Percy jumped down from the cabin's roof and walked up to his daughter.

"While I do agree with what you did to the son of Heracles, I do not like that you threatened his life," Percy told his daughter. "And before you ask, I think that you forgot that I can read lips perfectly"

"Would you rather if I killed him" Zoe asked

"I would prefer you not to, but your mother on the other hand would most certainly want you too" Perseus said, to which Arty nodded

Zoe looked down and said, "Sorry dad..."

"There is no need to be sorry, Z," Percy said before remembering why he was looking for his daughter. "The reason why I am here and not with my siblings, is because I talked to your mother today and she said that she will claim you tonight after capture the flag"

"I really hope that my birth mother is Artemis," Zoe said with a smile as Percy then smiled and thought No one is going to take Zoe away from...And if they try, then they will die. I swear on the river Styx

"Alright this chapter is over" Sally said, handing the book off to Hestia, which only disappointed the Stolls because the book went to another person that was deemed untouchable, unless you want to be in a prank war against everyone.
