"So what have you done with my demi-gods?" Percy asked his secret lover. Artemis flashed them both back down to the hunter's camp.

"I took them to just outside of Alaska, it will be up to them to continue their journey. They'll come across Thanatos soon." Artemis explained. "By the way. Atalanta and Phoebe have figured it out. That's the three most trusted hunters and the three who are also the most vicious towards men, and they all like you." Artemis had a widely spreading grin.

"Great, the pranks will be endless." Percy grunted as they walked into the camp. Percy was in his platinum armor and looked like an angelic iron man. His mask had already disappeared beneath the folds of his armor.

"Percy's back." He heard one girl alert the others and before he had time to dodge. An arrow bounced harmlessly off of his armor.

"Hmm." He frowned at the show of 'liking' they had supposedly taken to him, but he knew that if they wanted to, they would have easily hit him in the face.

"Girls, you know the rules, he's to be treated differently." Artemis scolded with a smile.

"Aint that the truth." Phoebe muttered under her breathe. Artemis send her a warning glare. The other hunters were unaware.

"Hey girls, I've just been to Tartarus. I might buy a summerhouse there." Percy told them with all of the joviality in the world. They all just stared at him with wide eyes.

"You what?" Thalia stuttered.

"Yep. I was helping the queen of the Amazons, Hylla with an usurper who would not stay in underworld, so instead I dragged her to Tartarus. I found Kronos while I was there. Nice guy." Percy stood with his head tilted as if letting the old memories replay themselves. This comment caused Artemis to double take though.

"You what!?" She almost shrieked, eyeing his armor for damage.

"I have the inherited memories of anything relevant in history, I know what Kronos' actions were and who he used to be. He suffered in Tartarus as much as any. He promised to make sure that Otrera got what she deserved. It sounded painful. Those chains can't have felt like fabric. Anyway, I've got more titles now, wanna hear them?" He asked they with a huge grin. They all nodded wide eyed and slack jawed.

"OK, I think I've got the best way of saying it but I could gain more so bear with me. Perseus Jackson son of Odin, Champion of Chaos and Hylla, Lord of Time and the Ages." Percy explained in a sarcastic hue of grandeur.

"Wait, Kronos gave you his domains? How is that even possible?" Artemis cut in, this was of Olympic importance.

"Yes, but I asked not for powers. If I accepted anything more than titles my own existence would start to change and shift. I would be bound by ancient laws and my claim to the throne of Asgard would be void. I fully intend to rule one day with a queen by my side." He told them, keeping his face stoic and calm.

'That's you by the way.' He spoke softly into Artemis' mind, causing her cheeks to turn a rosy pink. He just gave a knowing smile while the others hunters except for Phoebe, Atalanta, and Thalia all groaned at the man before them.

"Right, so you're a demi-god iron man with actual wings. So not only do you look badass, you're also good for the environment." Phoebe commented.

"Yeah, kind of like an armored captain planet." Percy grinned at them.

"So, I've got to get back to my other duties ladies, any requests before I depart?" He asked them. They all seemed to have settled on an agreed decision.

"Do you swear on the Styx to answer our questions truthfully?" Atalanta asked with an evil grin. Percy paled at their suddenly sprung trap.

"I swear on the Styx to answer your questions truthfully so long as the answer does not affect my ability to perform my duties to my patrons." Percy told them without missing a beat. It was a loophole, a very finely crafted loophole that he was going to exploit to get out of his impending doom.

Thunder rumbled overhead and the girls all looked feral at their supposed victory. "Tell me Perseus, are you currently courting anyone so to speak?" Atalanta started straightaway.

"Well I'm glad you asked me that girls, because for a matter of fact I am." He answered, seemingly rising to their challenge.

"So who is it?" Thalia pressed, more insistent on causing the man before her a whole world of pain.

"I'm afraid that I cannot tell you that. I swear the death oath on Chaos' name that if the answer to that question ever became public knowledge before the right time, it would trigger world war three, or something of that scale at least." Percy explained. Going down on one knee, the Chaos death oath was far more serious that the Styx. Purple mist swirled around him until it was done.

"I wonder exactly who would be in a situation such as that. Where you would both be so far apart that union would erupt in Chaos, no pun intended." Thalia grinned. The other hunters seemed to have started to understand where the older girls were driving this conversation and realization dawned on a few. Percy's wings slowly spread themselves protectively, as if ready to cause a tornado in order to escape. Percy could feel the tension in the air as much as Artemis.

Artemis hadn't realized that her breath had hitched, at any point she could have stopped this, but above all she wanted him to feel welcomed by her hunters. "I know what we're all thinking." Came a timid voice. Tracey, the daughter of Ares that had it in for him stepped forwards.

"But that simply could not happen. It defies the entire history of what we know. But on the off chance that it was true, what would you all say to that?" Tracey was incredibly intelligent for an Ares girl, she was already shaping the conversation. She had come to like Percy just as much as the others.

"I for one think that it would be acceptable. It is HIM." Atalanta responded to the shaping with ease.

"If that ever did occur, are there any that would deny the situation? Fight against it? I for one haven't seen eye to eye with our male hunter but it is clear that he is above and beyond that pig like race we call men. THIS is a man. Unique in so many ways, and worthy of only one." Tracey smiled and left the shocked demi-gods.

"Well that was..." Percy faltered, taking a step back from the rapidly widening eyes. Hushed whispers rand through the crowd.

"Better now than later, finding out from someone else." Artemis whispered in his ear, the close contact only seemed to have cemented the theories that were spreading between the hunters like wildfire.

Percy took a very deep and nervous breathe before he held his hand out at his side. Artemis looked at it and without missing a beat, she interlocked her fingers with his. Percy closed his eyes and awaited the arrow to the face that would cause him so much discomfort.

"Hunters. Notice that Percy and I are holding hands. Notice that he is not in fact at any risk of turning into a jackalope." Artemis explained slowly.

"We've waited thousands of years for this to happen milady." Phoebe's soft voice called out. Percy had NEVER heard her speak like this. Were they accepting what was going on?

'Perseus Jackson.' He heard three voices clearly inside his head.

Other hunters stepped forwards. "We are... tolerant of this milady." They all kneeled in front of the couple of godlike beings holding hands. One an impossible demi-god the other a man hating Goddess.

'Son of Odin.' The voices continued. Was that the fates?

Artemis re-positioned herself so that she was actively hugging Percy, her arms draped across his armor with her head on her shoulder. A few girls looked disgusted with their mistress but they also seemed happy for her decision.

'Champion of Chaos the Goddess of creation, and Queen Hylla of the Amazons.' The fates continued to rattle off Percy's title.

"Something's happening." Percy whispered softly.

'Lord of Time and the Ages.'

"The fates are reading me like a book, it's really weird." Percy whispered again.

'Consort of Artemis.' The fate's voices faded after that.

"Huh, weird. Perseus Jackson, son of Odin, Champion of Chaos, Hylla, Lord of Time and the Ages, Consort of Artemis. I like that." He laughed at her feigned innocent expression.

"Relax, I think they just mean it as a fancy way of saying girlfriend." Percy laughed. He'd become unaware of how much time had passed and the fact that they were still holding hands.

"What the fuck!?" Apollo screeched behind them. The hunters were seemingly unaware of what was going on. Artemis and Percy spun around. Standing off to the side was a shell-shocked Apollo and a grinning Ares.

"Well, the fates are about to add bane of Ares to my list when I'm finished with you, minor God of war." Percy spat his own rage. It looked like the shock of Percy and Artemis' clear involvement had actually killed Apollo.

The sun God was seething, "You won't get a chance son of Odin. You'll be dead before sun down." Apollo's rage was un-containable at this point.

"Oh shi-" An arrows struck his chest directly but only served to dent his armor slightly.

"No, stop!" Artemis screamed at the both of them. Percy' faceplate came up and Apollo glowed as bright as the sun.

"I told you you're a punk kid, this is what happens when you threaten a God." Ares called out to him.

"Great, can't wait to see what Zeus will do when I send his war child to Tartarus like I just did to the Queen of the Amazons. Oh yeah, you must have missed that part Ares, of just who I am. Perseus Jackson, son of Odin, Champion of Chaos the primordial of creation and to Queen Hylla of the Amazons. Consort to Lady Artemis. And very soon, the fates are going to be adding a very brutal line involving two certain sons of Zeus." Percy shouted in rage. The ground began to shake and the winds picked up. He was furious at them.

"Apollo, I do not want to fight you, but I will if you leave me little choice." Percy turned to look at the sun God who just kept firing arrows at him. "So be it." Percy told them calmly. Yggdrasil turned into a perfectly balanced axe alongside Baninir as he closed the distance. Before Artemis could stop them, a flash took them to the skies.
