A New Beginning

Chapter 3

Hera's P.O.V

I smiled as my new son jumped off of Olympus. Zeus suddenly appeared, along with the rest of the gods.

"Hermes. Get the seven from the prophecy plus Thalia and Nico." Zeus commanded. Hermes disappeared in a flash and then reappeared with Leo, Piper, Jason, Hazel, Frank, Annabeth, Thalia and Nico. They all knelt down before us.

"Where is Perseus?" Poseidon asked.

"I don't know. I can't find him." Hermes said softly.

"What!" There was chaos all over the throne room.

"Silence!" Artemis shouted.

"Why have you called this meeting?" I asked.

"Peseus Jackson had cheated on our hero, Annabeth, and has fled from camp half blood." Zeus thundered. I narrowed my eyes. I heard an animalistic growl and was surprised to see Aphrodite snarling at Annabeth.

"You what?! You told everyone that he had cheated you?!" She shrieked madly, eyes blazing. She lunged at Annabeth and slapped her so hard that she went flying and hit a pillar. She collapsed in a heap.

"You stupid! Lying! Bi-" She was cut off by Artemis pulling her away. She pulled the screaming, shrieking, crazy goddess out of the room. Everyone was silent before Athena went to her daughter, trying to help her.

"What was that about?" Persephone asked.

"Nothing. It's fine." Artemis said as she strode back in the room.

"You know, none of this would've happened if you had all eaten more cereal!" Demeter yelled. Everyone rolled their eyes. Artemis sat on her throne and mind linked me.

'Aphrodite's okay. I explained what happened to Percy. She won't tell anyone.' She told me. I nodded slightly.

"Anyway. We will need to find him to give him a punishment for hurting Annabeth." Zeus said loudly.

"I will search the sky for him. Poseidon, search the ocean. Hades will search the underworld. The rest of the gods will search all of the continents, countries and towns for him. The demigods will keep an eye out for him. Artemis and the hunt has a new mission. To hunt Jackson down." He commanded.

"Yes!" Thalia yelled quietly.

"About the hunt, I have elected a new guardian." Artemis said.

"Wha-but...When?" Apollo stuttered.

"A few days ago." She lied.

"What's his name?" Poseidon asked. She froze for a moment. I quickly mind linked Percy.

'What is you're new name my son?' I asked. He quickly told me.

"His name is Monos." I answered for Artemis. The gods frowned.

"Why would he be named Monos?" Ares asked.

"Because he was abandoned by everyone he loved and cared about. Hence the name Monos." Hestia replied. Monos means 'alone' in Greek.

"I've never heard of him before." Zeus said confusedly.

"He travels the globe a lot." Artemis said. Zeus huffed in annoyance.

"The meeting is over. Go find Percy Jackson."
