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...
We had agreed that Perseus would enter the Hunt after a brief explanation by my part, Perseus had said his goodbyes, promised to call his mother and Annabeth, and was now waiting for us to introduce him to the Hunt.
After he had packed his things, Was about to flash us to the Hunt when a blinding white light appeared in the centre of the dining hall.
Slowly the light took the shape of two.. sticks?
"These are made of Chaos platinum, the hardest material in the known Universe, they will turn into whichever weapons you choose. A gift for my Champion, Chaos." he read aloud.

He shoved them in his belt and walked back next to us.
"Let's do this!" he added with a cute smirk on is face, WHAT, stop, you hate males goddammit!
Percy POV:
Artemis flashed me a mile away from their camp, she pointed me in the right direction and then flashed herself and her two lieutenants directly to the Hunt, I'm not sure if she did that to give herself time to explain the situation to the Huntresses or simply out of spite.
Probably both.
As I started running toward their camp, I couldn't help but observe the beautiful scenery that was unfolding all around me, a lush forest in front of me, beautiful mountains on the horizon.
I decided to see if my new status also increased my natural abilities, I decided to push my limits and see how fast I could go, and it blew my mind.
I knew I was going at incomprehensible speeds, but I could see everything around me clearly, as if it were going in slow motion. I reached camp in what felt like 20 minutes, but as I got there I didn't see Artemis, nor Zoe, Thalia or Bianca.
I stopped and immediately 30 or more bows were pointed at me, that's when Artemis and the other three decided to appear.
"Milady, there's an intruder in Camp, he has wings!" Phoebe said.
Artemis turned towards me and looked at me in shock, "Perseus? How did you get here so fast?"
"I ran." I said "Faster than me flashing!" she replied, "I guess being the Archangel of Chaos does that." I chuckled.
"Well, I would have liked to have more time to explain without you being here but I guess it shall have to do, boy." she said, regaining her usual attitude.
"What is the meaning of this milady?" a younger huntress asked.
"Well as you already know Zoe and Bianca have been revived, what you don't know is why." Thalia answered.
"For now all you need to know is that Perseus has been chosen as Guardian of the Hunt to train his powers as Archangel of Chaos." Artemis added.
"What about.." I was about to say, but I was cut off by a kick to the gut by Artemis, with sent me flying into the nearest tree, breaking it.
"Well girls, you are free to prank him all you want, and as for you Perseus you will be staying outside, we can't have you sleeping if you're going to guard the Hunt.
"Great" I said sarcastically, suddenly I sensed something, and that's when I saw an empousa with a bow in hand and a green liquid leaking off of the tip of the arrow aimed at Artemis.
I did what first came to mind, I pushed the goddess.
Stupid.
Artemis POV:
Suddenly, I felt a chill down my spine. Perseus' eyes widened and he pushed me, hard. I flew into a boulder and rage started to build up in me.
I was about to shoot him when, I saw him jump to where I was standing earlier and an arrow pierced him in his stomach. He winced in pain and fell to the ground. I was shocked to see the scene. The boy had just jumped in the middle of an arrow aimed at me.
I heard another arrow be shot and looked up to see Phoebe shoot an arrow straight into the eyes of an empousa. The empousa had a bow in her hands and the arrow which hit the boy was similar to the one she had notched. The empousa turned to dust as soon as Phoebe's arrow hit her. I scrambled towards Perseus who had fallen unconscious.

I turned him around and slowly removed the arrow from his stomach. The arrow tip had some green liquid on it. I examined it to see that it was elder snake poison. Extremely deadly. It could send a god in a coma for about a full week. The poison had by now started spreading in the boy's body. I quickly flashed him to the medical tent and set him down.
I had learned some medical techniques from Apollo over the centuries. It was good that it included curing elder snake poison. All you had to do was pass some godly energy into the body and feed the person some ambrosia.
Perseus, had been In coma for 2 days now, but the wound had healed almost instantly. The arrow had added a scar to his shoulder. He already had many scars, which I could tell were from the monsters he had fought before. But some scars stood out prominently amongst the others. One was a deep red scar near his abs. Another three scars were present on his upper right chest. Then there was a reddish-black scar which looked like a rib had come out from it.
I remembered the state of his body in the crater that he had created, he got most of them from that. Subconsciously, I found myself tracing his scars.
I was snapped out of my thoughts by a small groan. My attention went to the boy who was stirring from his state of unconsciousness.
Without wasting a moment, I ordered Atalanta to come in. She ran in and started checking on the boy's vitals. As soon as she touched the boy's body, his eyes snapped open. He started looking around frantically, searching for any signs of trouble.
Once his eyes landed on me, a wave of relief passed through his eyes, before it was replaced with panic. He immediately tried to get out of bed and bow to me. Keyword- tried. His legs gave way and he ended up face-planting on the floor. Atalanta let out a laugh at this, and even I let a small chuckle escape my lips.
