Percy Jackson The God of The Monsters

Chap 8-

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson

- Three years after Percy's visit to Tartarus -

It was Bianca who convinced Percy to not get some form of revenge on the hunters for when they killed Mrs O'Leary, which caused her to be captured by Kronos, Percy was glad Bianca had joined his camp, she was like the little sister he never had, Percy still hadn't visited any of the mortal villages, he didn't want to face the reality of how much time he had simply missed,

Bianca, over the time she had been back, had become Percy's second in command, Mrs O'Leary was second in command when concerning monsters but Bianca was his protégée, she excelled in all her missions and Percy was pretty sure she had a crush on Luke, he made a mental note to send them on a mission together,

Just as Percy thought this Bianca walked into the room, "The first set of armour for the quadruped monsters have been finished to Briaries specification..." she released a deep sigh "... I miss technology, we could have done all this so much faster if we had all the 'modern' age equipment" Percy nodded his head as she sat down on her seat, he had formed a sort of council chamber like the gods throne rooms for him and his highest ranking officers to discuss certain matters,

"Percy, I know you don't want to but go take a look around the mortal villages near here, the rest of us can't go without one of our parents appearing and spiriting us away for the day..." Percy remembered it well, Luke had gone to scout out if the village would be any use to them and Hermes effectively kidnapped him, at first Percy didn't mind, Hermes hadn't seen Luke in ages and it was only natural, Hermes didn't take Luke back to the garden until around eleven pm, when Percy needed the information on the village to arrange all the others missions, Hermes had basically brought the base to a stand still.

After the other re-living, as the group had started calling themselves, started telling Percy he should go scout did he reconsider, it wasn't until Mrs O'Leary said that he could take a break that he decided he would. After the gods forced the world to enter a dark age most information was lost, and so most places were re-named and all the countries in the world were basically ran by city states, like how ancient Greece was,

Percy left the camp on foot, his two guardians still one step behind him, Percy ran through the knowledge he had about the American city states, there were four large city states and around thirty smaller villages, there were three villages near his camp and one large city, the names of the villages and cities changed so often that none of the immortals remembered the names most of the time, the campers with Percy simply names the nearest village V-One, the second nearest V-Two etc., they did the same with the cities, the nearest one was CS-One, sadly they were one of the two aggressive city states, what Percy thought surprising was that there was a city state for half-bloods, there were still a lot of wild monsters, it was a necessity of life for people to die, all species needed a predator otherwise they would grow too large, like humanity before Percy was made immortal,

The village nearest Camp Apple-tree as it had been nicknamed, after the fact the very centre of the camp, hidden by the impenetrable walls of the palace was the Golden Apple Tree, the nearest village was the largest village of the closest ten, there were three city states within two days travel, two of the three were almost two days travel though,

Percy was nearing the village, he knew something was wrong, his senses were going haywire, his mind screamed he was being hunted but his guardians weren't acting as if he was and he wanted to relax for the first time since he became immortal, It was an hour before Percy came upon the village, he ordered his guardians to stay out of sight, just as he was about to enter the village perimeter he saw Artemis walking out of the woods slightly to his left, he realised she must have been stalking him, Artemis turned and headed towards him "Lord Perseus, hello." Artemis always called him Lord Perseus after the incident with Phoebe, he and Artemis were never close, but not she was always annoyingly passive, she didn't even get angry when he tried to make her angry.
