After the Second Giant War a new threat arises and Percy is chosen by Chaos to fight it, with his new powers he also needs to find balance and the only way to balance chaos power is love, and a lot of it. Will he be able to defeat the enemy, or will...
"Annabeth" I managed to wheeze out, I wasn't sure why I said it, I couldn't remember anything, it was pure instinct.
"Quick, Apollo do something, it looks like he's in the worst pain ever" another voice said.
"I'm doing everything I can, you're lucky he didn't go straight to Tartarus after what happened to him!" a male voice replied, who I presumed must have been Apollo.
Suddenly my eyelids got heavier and the world turned to black once more.
Apollo POV:
- Flashback -
As soon as Annabeth had asked me about Percy I looked for my cousin everywhere, and I didn't like what I saw, I flashed us all at the feet of the Empire State Building where there was now a massive crater.
In the centre still smoking you could see a figure with what would have been some majestic wings, if they weren't in the worst condition imaginable, his body wasn't put any better as well.
"Oh gods..." Annabeth whispered.
"Don't touch him, you could make it worse" I ordered everyone, now was not a time for jokes, my favourite cousins life was at stake here.
I immediately flashed myself and Percy to my temple and put him in a nectar and seawater tank, I then took a closer inspection at his injuries, he had both his wings broken and missing chunks of feathers, he was barely breathing and practically ever bone in his body was broken.
Suddenly I heard a thunderbolt, Zeus had summoned the council. "Wow twice in one day, thats a record." I said to myself.
I promptly flashed to my throne, and the first thing I saw shocked me, the Fates where there. As the last member of the council flashed in, the Fates started talking.
"First of all let us bring a few more members to this meeting!" they said in unison, instantly six flashes of dull grey light appeared, and there stood Annabeth, Calypso, Piper, Hazel, Reyna and my sister lieutenant Thalia.
"Why are they here?" Artemis asked, looking intrigued.
"You will soon find out, but for their same purpose we were ordered to bring a few more people" they answered.
"Who? And who ordered you?" Poseidon asked, still shocked after seeing his son in that state.
"We were told by our mother, Chaos, as for who.." a portal opened an out stepped three ladies.
And that was one of the rare times where my sister cried. Standing in the centre of the throne room there was, Zoe, Bianca and Silena.

"Milady, I thought I was dead.." Zoe and Bianca said in unison, Silena couldn't speak because she was being crushed in a bear hug by her mother.
Artemis shrunk down to a normal human size and jumped from her throne to the floor in front of her fallen hunters. She leapt at them both and gave them a small group hug as she teared up. She pulled back and looked both of her hunters in the eyes before returning to her godly size and sat on her throne.
"So did you come here to give out presents or does you being here have something to do with Percy?" Athena asked.
We have a prophecy for the young hero, involving the lovers and his fight with Chaos." they announced,
"The Newly Appointed Champion,
to the Hunt shall go
as protector of the Pantheons.
The hearts he shall conquer
of the Moon and the Lieutenant new and old.
At the end of his challenge,
a quest he shall receive by the greeks,
and more love he will find
in the doves, the dead and the newly freed.
At last to the new Empire he shall go
where the last hearts he will conquer
of the jewel, the hearth and the retired.
Only then will the Archangel ascend.
But to rid the world of the sibling of old,
a sacrifice must be made,
and of all the hearts stolen
in the end one will fade."
"Well Shit!" I spat out.
"True, what the fuck is happening, in the last few years we've had more Major prophecies than in the last three millennia" Hermes joined in
Meanwhile Artemis, Zoe, Bianca, Silena, Hestia,.. (all the people mentioned in the prophecy)
Looked at each other fully understanding what the prophecy meant.
"I will not stand the company of any male, much less fall for him!" (Artemis) "I stand by mine own mistress' moral standards" (Zoe) "So you just respawned me to make me become some no doubt stinky hero's concubine?!" (Silena) "Why us?" (Reyna)"Well at least its people he knows, and that are close to him" (Annabeth)
"SILENCE!" Zeus boomed
"As the prophecy states, Percy will become Guardian of the Hunt until he manages to make The two lieutenants and.. my daughter, fall in love with him!" he continued
"WHAT!?" Artemis screamed, "Relax milady, its not like he's going to be able, plus we could use him as a recruiter." Thalia observed.
"So it is decided, we will discuss the matter further when Percy has succeeded in his task!"
And with that we all left the throne room.
I had just entered my palace when I heard a naiad call for me,
