Praedo:The destroyer

Chapter 9: The Return of Hero

Artemis Pov: 5 days after the attack.

It has been 5 days there were no trails of him. I was at archery range when there were shouts outside. I exits the range to see Porthitis there. Bows were pointed at him. I saw a little Girl in his hands. " Lady Artemis please let me in, I am here to give you a little hunter. Also I have to speak to you." He said when he saw me. I commanded hunters to down their bows. But they kept it ready to attack.
He then flashed away and came back with a man in chain. Man was pale. He had many wounds on his body. His veins were cutted in his both arms and limps. There were also many scars on his body like claw marks , bitter marks etc. We were shocked at the sight of that man. "My lady, I have come with a request. Can you please let me into the wolf tent" I nodded. He dragged the man in chain to the tent.
There were a pin drop silence. But was interrupted by a loud cry from the wolf tent. We walked towards the tent to see, Wolfs were gathered in centre, Porthitis was standing in a corner with his dog. Wolfs moved. We saw them covered in blood, there was a pool of blood in centre and bones and skull were spread there. Understantment sent shivers around our body. We were utterly dumpfounded. ' He feed that man alive to the wolfs, What a cruel man' I thought.
"Why?......." I just choked out.
"Why? Because that man raped girls and women. He killed his wife and feeded her meat to stray dogs. He abused a little girl who was just 5years old. " He replied in a dead calm voice. Those words was like slapping on my face. "And Lady Artemis, Can you come with me to a place. So we can talk privately" Bows were now pointed at him. Seeing this he said" I swear on styx that I have no bad intentions to do with Lady Artemis. I just want to talk to her." I nodded he teleported us to a forest house.

He told me to sit on a couch. He came back with a little girl in his hands. She  had black hair with light blond. She had Electric blue eyes. "My Lady, She is a daughter of Zeus. She is 5 yrs old. The man I killed before is her Step-father. When I reached there he was trying to rape her. So, I brought you here to talk about her." " I have already took care of her for a month."
He said." So you tortured that man for a month." He Nodded.He explained everything to little girl. I flashed with her to my hunt. I called Thalia and explained everything. She nodded and asked " Artemis what's her name?". Suddenly Victor flashed in and said " I forgot to say her name. Her name is Salene " 
" My Lady Salene will not talk for a while or until she feels safe to open up" He said. I nodded. He continued
" My Lady, I will come with you to Olympus. It may be time to return as pain has returned"
I teleported him in to throne room.
I summoned a meeting, everyone flashed in.
"Father I have brought Victor or Porthitis with me" I said pointing towards him.
" Who are you?" My father asked him.
He said " My Lord, I am just another Demigod who helps other to be safe"
"If you are a demigod. Then who are you son of"
"I am a adopted son Hestia. She adopted after my mother's death"
"What? You are powerful. Are you going to swear allegiance to olympus"
He laughed and said " My lord, I am eternally ally of Olympus because my family lies over here. Also I had swore  in my past. "
" Are you going to reveal yourself?"
"Maybe."
" I order you to reveal yourself" Father shouted.

3rd pov:

"Oh please uncle don't be angry. I think it's time for returning" He said.
He looked towards at Hestia, She nodded.
" I am known as Victor by demigods and Children. Omega in Mortal world.
Porthitis or The Destroyer or The Conqueror by monsters. But I am known in Olympus on other name.
I am Perseus Achilles Jackson, Son of Poseidon, Adopted Son of Hera and Hestia, Champion of Hades and Hestia." And removed his hood and Mask. He was suddenly tackled into a hug by  Poseidon. " My son " He yelled.
"D.. Da.. Dad, you are crushing me" Percy said.
Poseidon  broke  off  . And looked at Percy. He had grown his hair, he also grown light beard and moustache. His  sea green eyes were always beautiful as ever. All goddesses were blushing were except Hera and Hestia.
"Nephew, where were you?" Zeus asked.
" I was around Uncle" Percy replied.

Artemis Pov:

Wow Percy has returned, He was very handsome, cute.... Ugh stop it brain. I am a maiden goddess.
"How was your life mortal world? Can you explain your life in 25 yrs? " Athena asked.
"Okay, but can you all come to my home. So I can explain it with more ease" We nodded and Flashed to the address he said. I saw  that forest house he took me before. I looked at Athena to see her eye Widened at the sight of house.

suddenly, we heard  a bark. I saw a black dog that was with him before.

Suddenly A voice called " Rudo, Halt"
I looked up to see Percy. He unlocked the house and let us in. " So what would you like to drink?".
"Coffee would do good". Dionysus said. He Nodded and He said" TIDE, 14  coffee please ". " Yes Victor" We heard a mechanical voice replied. We were waiting for a servent to serve us. But we were proved wrong when a mechanical thing came in. Hephaestus and Athena was scanning that thing. "No, that's not an automaton. Its called Humanoid Robots. It is like automatons but with difference. Unlike them, these have a self consciousness with them. This whole house is made of technology. TIDE is a security system that knows everything in this world. TIDE stands for Technical Intriguer Deploy Enigma." Percy said. Athena and Hephaestus nodded.
"So Percy, who built this house, I would really like to meet him" Athena asked him. "Um.. Lady Athena, it was me who designed this house" He replied sheepishly. She chocked her drink now. And looked at him unbelievably. "You designed this... " He nodded. "Wow... I must say I am amazed"
" I designed this house to help demigods. There is many thing included here that you cannot sense."
"So how did you spent your time in mortal world
He explained his life for last 18yrs.
"Oh and Lady Athena I have to thank you for reducing my dyslexia. It was very useful." He said.
"But you only said your life for 18 years, where were you for next 7 yrs."
Uncle Poseidon asked.
"Ireland" He answered. We looked at him in questioning manner.
He continued.
"I decided  to help demigods to their camps. But I was at Ireland that time. I was walking through a forest but I was interrupted by a girl who looked 15 years, she was attacked by a monster I had never seen.  I immediately summoned my sword and helped her. She thanked me and we acquaint each other. Her name was............... "
