The Last Guardian

Chapter Fourteen

A/N. Reviews!

"Sort of, our ancestors did come to the continent from Siberia but that was way before the concept of West even existed, so Percy would be first.

The chapter itself, damn, fucking finally is all I'm gonna say" -8MexicanJaeger

Ah. Yeah, I'm not very good with that early of history. Anyways, I hope it was worth the wait.

"So this is really going to end... Well thoughts on the chapter, it was amazing but I am a little surprised that the Empousa's magic worked when Percy is so focused on someone else. And the ending was rushed, this ruins the whole FLAMES sector." -KryptonWrites

Yeah, it is. Anyways, I'm pretty sure the empousa's magic works no matter what. In canon, if I remember correctly, Percy was obsessed with Annabeth and the Empousa's passive magic still worked on him. The ending was done like that on purpose because well, this story is being read to a child, remember the prologue? You're not gonna explain to a child the intricacies of sex when they're only like, four or five. (Also, what's the FLAMES sector?)

"I want to see Percy in a sequel about the second giant war. Perhaps the gods realise that the giants couldn't be killed by any demigod but the original humans created by the fates specifically to defeat the giants." -fugy

I regret to inform you that there is no sequel planned. It's a cool idea though, but yea, no sequel sorry. Though you can certainly write it if you want to.

"What abilities did the guardians have besides the ones they'd get from being blessed by their charge" -guest

They have godlike strength, reflexes, and durability. That's it really. Percy was the only one blessed by his God though.

"Would there child be a demigod, a regular mortal, or something in between" -Chris Driscoll

I think immortality is a super recessive gene, so it would probably be a super powerful demigod.

Onto the chapter!

Chapter Fourteen

     "Are you sure?" he asked, looking into her silver eyes.

     "Never been more sure about anything."

     And Artemis was soon a maiden no more, her vow broken.

LINE BREAK

     A three day old Artemis took in the sights of Mount Olympus with eager eyes. This was her first time seeing the Home of the Gods since her birth on Delos. Her mother, Leto, finally allowed her and her brother, Apollo, to go to Olympus and receive their birthrights.

     Nymphs sold everything from laurel wreaths to nectar out of little road shops. Artemis ran up to one and bought a silver laurel wreath for a drachma. She put it on her head.

     The siblings and mother made their way to the throne room, walking up the long staircase that wrapped around the mountaintop. They entered the large room where the council of Gods were congregated.

     There were six thrones arranged in an Omega symbol. Sitting in the two thrones in the center of the horseshoe were the King and Queen of Olympus, Zeus and Hera.

     Hera instantly looked at the newcomers with scorn. Bastard kids of her husband.

     Leto pointed at Zeus.

     The King of the Gods stood up. "Well, who are these children?"

     "Your children, m'lord." Leto responded. "Artemis and Apollo." She turned to her kids. "Go to your father, children."
