An Amorous Night

PERCY POV

I was walking back to the Poseidon cabin. (As I was unwilling to sleep in the Artemis cabin) As I reached the Poseidon cabin, I saw a beautiful, feminine figure standing near the door, as if waiting for someone. I walked closer as I saw Artemis looking at me lovingly, making my heart flutter a bit.

I eagerly walked towards her as she asked me "Hungry?"

I shook my head as she brought her hand forward "Wanna go for a walk?" I held her hand and we suddenly teleported to a waterbody (probably the ocean). "I thought we were going for walk?" I smirked at her. She nudged me on the chest and smiled. "Percyyyyy" she moaned. I chuckled as our hands intertwined further as we walked under the night sky under the moon, next to the waterbody. We walked a while as I told her what the Indian Gods were talking about. She started hitting my shoulder when she heard that I had risked my life while fighting corrupted Shiva in the mountains and hadn't even mentioned it to her.

"Sorry, sorry, jeez, Artemis!" I apologized as she blew up her cheeks. I looked around and saw the cliff I first confessed to Artemis. I grabbed Artemis's arm (tho I was holding it, so in actuality, I readjusted the way I was holding it) and pulled her to the cliff. This was all so sudden she forgot all her anger at me and when we reached, kept staring at the beautiful scenery in front of us.

"Percy"

"Yes?"

"I love you"

"I love you too."

Both of us stared into each other eyes, as I leaned towards Artemis and kissed her. As our lips met, the time had stopped. My hand reached for her cheek as I kissed her more. I pushed my tongue into her mouth, kissing her as much as I could. We only pulled back to regain our breath. We stared at each other, and I pulled her into my arms.

Percy and Artemis started cuddling, desperate for warmth on that cold night. "Maybe it was a bad idea to come up here," Artemis said. Percy really couldn't argue, it was night and very windy but the couple still stayed there. "Percy?" Artemis asked quietly. Percy hummed in response and looked at her. "I love you," She said and smiled lightly. Percy closed the little gap between them and kissed Artemis again. She kissed back and wrapped her arms around his neck. But they were interrupted. "Ahem." an unknown voice cleared their throat.

We looked at the origin and saw a sleepy Chiron standing there with his arms crossed. "The harpies said that people were roaming around after lights out, turns out it was Goddess and Percy. It's been a week since you came back and already breaking camp rules? I didn't expect this from you Lady Artemis."

Artemis got up mortified and a little bit angry. I am sure if this was a camper, she might have burned the camper to crisps. She was closely followed by an equally mortified (and angry) me. "We are adults, Chiron." I tried to reason. "Adults, in MY camp." Chiron retorted. "Now you shall sleep."

Artemis and I silently walked towards our cabins while the sleepy Chiron glared at us one more time before walking towards the big house to get some sleep. I was around twelve when I went to sleep. Olivia was already fast asleep. She was hugging a pillow while drooling a bit. Looking at her made me smile a bit. She and Cally were getting closer as both of them are around the same age and trained together with me.

I took off my t-shirt and went to sleep.

The next morning, I woke up to a lot of weight on my body. I looked on my top to see Artemis lying on my chest. Her beautiful auburn hair was all over my torso. I had never seen such beauty before. She seemed so deep asleep I was too scared to even try waking her up. I tried to move my left hand but it was stuck to something. My right also seemed to be stuck. I looked at my left arm to see Olivia hugging it and sleeping, basically using it as a body pillow. On my right was Cally doing the same. "Is this some shitty scene from some harem anime?" I sighed thinking about this situation.

All of a sudden, I was pinched at my love handles, or at least where love handles are supposed to be. I looked down to see Artemis awake. "You dare do something like that." She said, a little miffed. "Don't worry, love." I chuckled. "These two girls are underage, and I already have the perfect girlfriend." Artemis's face flushed and she hid her face in my chest.

I smiled then shook my arms gently to wake up the two girls. "Oi you two kiddos, wake up. It's morning." The two girls slowly woke up, yawned, and rubbed their eyes. "Good morning Percy" Cally yawned. "Yeah, goooooood morning brother," Olivia said through a long yawn. I patted their heads and told them to go for breakfast.

Artemis simpered. "What is it?" I questioned. "It looks like you are their father." Artemis smiled.

"Wouldn't that make you their mother?" I smirked. Artemis looked away blushing. The two kids and I chuckled and moved out for breakfast. I then wore a hoodie and moved out along with Artemis, to meet a mob gathered around the cabin waiting for me to come out.

So he is dating Artemis….

Didn't the two kids say that he slept with them? Isn't he a paedophile?

I heard people mutter. There were a lot of people there looking at the virgin, man-hating Goddess's boyfriend (me) come out of the cabin with Artemis to confirm if what they had heard was true or not. I could make out few faces, like Thalia and the other hunters smirking at us from a distance. Their gaze could easily be translated into "Did you finally reach the final base?" I ignored their gazes and looked at the others.

I could see Chase looking at Artemis with malice. I wanted to hit her there and then for looking at Artemis like that, but I showed restraint. There was also Zack who was looking at me with pure hatred for stealing the limelight, I may not like it, but stealing it from him made it seem worth it.

I could also make out Leo and others looking at me and mouthing way to go champ. There was also Chiron looking at us while shaking his head because he knew his words did not affect us whatsoever. I apologetically looked at him and mouthed I'll try not to do it again. He just facepalmed and smiled, giving me the signal that it was fine if I kept it controlled. I showed him a thumbs up and proceeded to walk through the mob while holding Artemis's hand to the mess hall.

As I had breakfast, I talked to Olivia and Cally. Turns out Cally came to sleep with me because she was having nightmares. When she came, Artemis had already occupied my front so she held on to my arm. I asked Olivia what she was doing on my arm. She just said that she misplaced the pillow she was hugging so ended up hugging my arm as a replacement.

I went on to ask Artemis how she ended on me in the first place. She just answered, "Do I need a reason to sleep with you?" It was enough to silence me.

I quickly finished my breakfast, then along with Artemis, I went to Chiron to discuss our plans. I quickly explained what I had been told by the Hindu Gods. Then I went ahead to explain what was required.

"Chiron, we need to issue a search and exploration team to analyze the current situation. I want 2 other campers to come along with Artemis and me."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am done for today.

I would also like to address one query quite a few people had. A few chapters back I had mentioned that Lord Shiva had turned evil under the influence of Chaos and Hindu monster Kali. Some people asked if I was talking about the Goddess Kaali. To those let me tell you, in Hindu Mythology, there is a Goddess Kaali (काली) and, and a monster Kali (कलि). Kali is a monster/personification of adharma. Kaali is the Goddess of destruction and power. We see Kali the demon, in several of the previous stories of Hindu mythology such as during the Gambling match of Mahabharat. Kali the demon is mostly known as the reigning lord of Kaliyug or the present age as this is age has the corrupted humans in all of history.

I'll link Wikipedia articles here if you wanna know more.

Kali the demon:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali_(demon)

Kaali the Goddess:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali

it's easy to get confused.
