Chapter 28

I couldn't even begin to describe how much it hurt that my own son had turned against me but I didn't have time to worry about that as Oceanus charged me. I parried his first strike with my Trident but the force of the blow jarred my shoulder.

I knew this wasn't a fight I could win, even at full strength he was stronger than me but as I was now it was hopeless. My best chance was to make it out of Alaska. Oceanus came at me again while my ex-wife charged at me from the side her twin swords drawn.

I dodged Oceanus' initial strike but his sword, which also happened to be a live sea serpent, lashed out at me with its fangs. I hate this stupid snake I thought to myself. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Amphitrite already mid swing aiming for my abdomen. I either blocked her swords or the snake and both would send me to Tartarus, hows that for luck. Before I even had a chance to make up my mind Amphitrite was tackled by 16 or 17 year old girl in a silver cloak and the snake was blasted with electricity.

Amphitrite threw the girl off and quickly backed up with her father to get a better read on the situation and I did the same. To my left there were three girls all in silver cloaks and two boys on my right wearing the same. The only difference between them was a faint swirl on on the back in various colors, one was grey and sea green, another was red and gold, etc.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"We're your back up" one of the boys said, he might have said more but Oceanus came back swinging.

Artemis POV

We had been at CHB for an hour or two and we were still not even sure where to start, we even called Nico to see if Sam had perhaps been sent to the underworld. While Nico was looking in to it for us Percy remembered he had a map in our room, well officially in his room, that he uses to monitor the tides. Since whatever happened to Sam was on coastal waters it might have been recorded.

I was getting kinda worried with what was happening with Luna. Even though she woke up Apollo said she should stay in bed because there was something "Funky going on." as he put it.

When we finally got up to our room Percy opened it, took one look inside and promptly screamed "What the Hades!" before slamming the door closed.

He turned to me looking deathly pale "Artemis I swear on styx I had no knowledge about this." he said looking me in the eye. Nothing happened to him so I know he wasn't lying but I was curious as to what he was talking about in the first place.

I walked past him to the door where I heard an "O Percy." coming from inside.

'It couldn't be?' I thought and opened the door to see Annabeth posed on our bed in nothing but a bathrobe and to top things off it was MY bathrobe.

"L-Lady A-Artemis." Annabeth said surprised that I was here.

"What do you think you're doing?!" I shouted "Actually on second thought I don't want to know and put on your clothes on." I said pointing to the pile in the corner.

"I'm so sorry, I wasn't expecting you to be here." Annabeth said after she got dressed. I pinched the bridge of my nose and took a deep breath so I didn't blast the girl right then and there.

"Look Annabeth." Percy said obviously uncomfortable with the whole situation "I know said my doors are open to anyone if you need to talk but you have seriously taken it too far. As of now you are banned from my palace. You can stay in camp half blood if you want but if this sort of thing happens again I will ban you from here too." he said. I thought he was a little lenient but then again it might just be my pregnancy blowing this out of proportion. 'Not likely' I thought to myself.

An hour later when it was starting to get dark Triton flashed into camp. Well the edge of camp on the beach holding a spear in one hand and a bag in the other. "So I'm guessing you and dad made up." Percy said as we walked down to meet his brother.

"No not really." Triton spat.

"If it's about the prince of the sea thing you can have it back. I only really took because dad needed someone to fill the position." Percy said glancing around. "By the way where is dad?"

"He's just getting some private time time with my grandfather." Triton said. My eyes widened when I realized what he meant. Percy took a few steps forward his hand on his sword while I summoned my bow "Oh I wouldn't do that if I were you." Triton said as Khione and her brothers flashed in. Zethes had his sword to Atlanta's neck while Calais had his to a campers neck.

Phoebe POV

Me and Kathy had been left in the infirmary with Luna because Apollo said someone needed to watch her. Zoe was there too but she had lost her usual energetic self. "Um Phoebe is it just me or is Luna's hair getting darker?" Kathy asked.

"I think it is." I said after a minute. Luna's hair used a light auburn but now it was a deep shade of red that oddly enough reminded me of roses. On her wrist I noticed this tattoo or at least that's what I think it was, it was a little black band with a wolf on it.

Even as I looked at it the tattoo seemed to almost evaporate off her skin "Did you see that?" I asked Kathy not believing my eyes.

"See what?" Kathy replied before Luna shot up right and jumped off the bed before almost collapsing.

"Luna what are you doing you need to rest." I said.

Luna turned to me with absolute hatred boiling in her now forest green eyes. "He's here!" she seethed before shakily storming out.

"Keep Zoe here." I shouted over my shoulder as I ran after Luna. I don't know what is going on but this can't be good.

Poseidon POV

To be honest I would like to say that I could've handled my ex-wife and her father by myself but I couldn't. I may not know who these kids are but they were some of the best fighters I'd ever seen. I knew none of them were gods yet all of them had power like you wouldn't believe.

The two boys who were helping me fight Oceanus had to be some of the best fighters I'd ever seen. This had to have been the first time that anyone had even been able to stay in the fight this long without dying. The girls who were fighting my ex weren't doing too bad either especially the spear user. I couldn't put my finger on where but I knew that fighting style.

Finally after what felt like hours we were able push them back. I hadn't realized how hard it was to fight like a demigod but it was actually kind of refreshing. Since I didn't have the vast amount of power I usually do I had to rely more on skill like a demigod and I had a newfound respect for them.

"Father go get Triton he should be finished with Percy by now, I'll meet you back home." Amphitrite said. Oceanus nodded and flashed out, Amphitrite fixed us with a cold stare and said "I swear I will kill you and take back that throne which is rightfully mine and when I get my hands on Athena I will...".

Thwack! My ex-wife collapsed revealing my current wife who had apparently just smack my ex over the head with her spear. Athena walked right up to me and smacked me upside the head "Next time listen to me and bring some help!" She shouted.

"I know and I'm sorry but we need to get back to Camp Half Blood right now Percy might be in danger." I said.

"Fine but this is not over, let's get moving." Athena said.

"I can just shadow travel us there." one of the boys put in before my wife had even taken a step.

Percy POV (45 minutes earlier)

I gritted my teeth but took my hand off my sword and backed up "What do you want Triton?" I asked.

"Oh just your head." he said as if discussing the weather "But before we get to that I got a little surprise for you." he said holding out the bag in his hand.

"You know that boy in a Silver cloak." he asked. I nodded "You might not believe it but he was actually a demigod form the future and what's more he was your son, I swear on styx it's true.".

I got sick feeling about where he was going with this "What do you mean was?" I asked.

Triton reached into his bag "Well that would be because I killed him." Triton said simple pulling out a silver cloak covered in blood. "I meant to bring you his body so you could at least have something to bury but this was all I could find." he said dropping the cloak. Before it touched the ground a sudden gust of wind carried it off into the night sky.

"I'LL KILL YOU" Luna shouted as she ran passed us with her sword drawn.

"Hey she's Percy's daughter right? I'd like to have some fun with her before I kill her." Khione asked.

"Sure my love." Triton said, if I hadn't been so pissed at Triton and scared for my daughter I would have seriously had to ask how those two ended up together. Khione started out small using her abilities to hit Luna with snow balls just to watch her fall over. But even though she was unsteady on her feet Luna got up again and again despite the fact her entire body seemed to be shaking.

But as the minutes passed the shaking stopped and Luna got better at dodging them so Khione switched to ice. At first it was just blunt balls then it was spikes which Luna expertly dodged with skill that reminded me a lot of her mother. There were several times when Luna was almost hit and the spike seemed to slow down just to the point where she could dodge it but eventually one did hit it's mark. A single spike managed to barely hit Luna's cheek left a small cut but instead of mortal blood, golden ichor was slowly running down her cheek.

"What the Hades!" Triton shouted

"Enceladus said you were a mortal!" Luna reached up, touched her cheek and stared at blood that clung to her fingers. While we stood there stunned I heard a sickening 'shink' and apparently I wasn't the only one. Everyone's heads snapped in the direction of the noise which just happened to be Khione's brothers who now had a silver sword sticking out each of their chests.
