Chapter 16

Percy POV

I was, yep you guessed it, dreaming about my past again. Artemis and myself had traveled all over Greece simply because she wanted to. She had spent her whole life up to that point on Delos and wanted to see to see what else there was in the world.

Knowing how I am, I noticed that after just a year I had already fallen for her. At the two year mark we went back to Delos having already started the hunt with Cassy age 7, Surria age 5, and Kayla age 3. That night after Artemis left to put the kids to bed Leto confronted me about it. She scared me half to death with...well death threats about what would happen if I hurt her daughter. An hour of carefully answering her questions and she was actually cool with it. A few months later Cassy started referring to me as her father and Artemis as her mother quickly followed by her sisters.

A week later I took a knife in the side protecting her from a bandit and nearly died because of it. Artemis had felt so horrible over the whole thing and we ended up sharing our first kiss that very night. From that day onward we together and everything was new and exciting. Then after Silver was born I all was right with the world. Apollo accepted me, Amphitrite had become like a mother to me and actually claimed me as her own. And I had Artemis the greatest woman I ever met and the mother of my son. I even remembered my own death as odd as that may seem.

I groaned as I awoke, I knew I was going to have a tough talk with Artemis but right now all I cared about was putting my family back together. "Hello Perseus" Clotho said inches from my face as I opened my eyes which scared me so much I nearly decapitated her.

"Carefully there boy!" her sister Lachesis shouted "Haven't you ever heard of being polite!".

"Haven't you ever heard of boundaries!" I shot back "Why are you here any way.".

"We're here to give you your birthright." Clotho said bring out a ball of golden light "We the Fates here bye return to you your godhood.". With that the ball shot into my chest and I felt like all my nerves caught fire. for a few moments I stood there unable to move but as quickly as it came the pain disappeared. I felt powerful and strangely complete, like up until now I've always had a piece of myself missing but now it's falling into place. "We pronounce you Perseus god of Heroes and we grant to you your mother's domain of storms. All hail Perseus god of Heroes and Storms."

Silver POV

I awoke early the next morning and immediately sent Luke and Bianca on their way before going to Surria. "Hey Silver." she said as I walked up .

"Hey sis" I replied "would you mind gathering everyone up for me.".

"Sure." about ten minutes later I had 50 groggy and grumpy individuals. The former hunters were a little better, probably because this is the time the hunt would usually get up anyway.

"Ok so what we're going to right now is test your abilities, since you all have been either werewolves or dead until recently it's understandable that you're going to be a little rusty so don't worry I just need to see what we need to work on." everyone nodded.

We broke off into three groups to try and make things easier, Surria was testing their close combat skills, Kayla was testing archery, and Cassie was teaching the different battle formations while I just went where I was needed the most.

Luke POV

We dropped by Ogygia where Bianca delivered the letter and now we were stand on a cliff next to the ocean, I knew it was going to be a little boring but seriously we've been standing on this cliff for 6 hours with nothing to do. Finally at the 8 hour mark a group of 7 people walked out of the woods at first I didn't recognize any of them but when Nico stepped out I may have had a slight panic attack.

'Crap if he recognizes me this could get ugly real fast.' I thought to myself next to me Bianca stiffened probably recognizing her brother but I couldn't really tell because the hood of her cloak covered her face. Did I forget to mention that we were wearing cloaks, ya Silver insisted on it since we've both died and we might freak people out.

"Are any of you Jason?" I asked/called.

"Yes that would be me" a blond boy in front said.

"We're with the Sentinel." I said gesturing to myself and Bianca "Have you thought about his offer?".

Jason nodded "We'd be honored to join him.".
