Old Vows, Young Lovers

Control

A/N- So even though I got like 2 reviews, if that, for the last chapter I did get some positive feedback for it, and no negative feedback so that is good and I am very happy about that. Now, I know that a lot of you wanted capture the flag, so that is going to be this chapter, but it is not going to be a very long or detailed part, so sorry about that... Haha, not sorry. BTW, I want to give a shout out to everyone on Wattpad, they have been very very supportive of me since the start, and the people on there are very kind and liking to me, thank you guys. Wattpad is like Canada, everyone on there is just sooooo nice. People like Silver Fang, and silversword12, and goldenmp, thank you so much to you three! I can only count the people that reach out to me (or leave reviews) on a short list, so please, if you enjoy the story, please tell me about it.

However, you AO3 guys need to step it up though, because I haven't heard a peep out of any of you since September, would really appreciate if you all would give me some more feedback!

I hope you guys loved the last one, I tried my best and it was probably the most action-based chapter yet, and there was a lot of flashbacks... I originally wanted it to be longer, but I stopped at 5K because I knew that I wasn't going to be able to push myself to write any more than that, and the way I ended it I couldn't have seen myself ending it any other way.

You guys might have already noticed that Atalanta is becoming a big part of the story, and that is by design, she is going to have a large part in the story, and she is going to do a lot (like I have already mentioned a few hundred times:)

Hope you guys like this one, big surprise ending.

A few hours later

The speech was long and sorrowful, but Atalanta was happy that she did it. She was happy that she told that story, and she was even more happy for the support she got from everyone. Natalie and Grace had chatted with her for a good half hour afterwards about that day, they reminisced and told stories about what they should have done differently, or could have done better. All the things that could have gone wrong but didn't... They asked her about how on Earth she cast magic like that, to make a shield for them, something that they never realized at the time... A question that she had to answer more than a few times today already.

"It is because that my mother is Hecate, the goddess of Magic. I can do a few simple things, and even fewer more complicated things, I don't use it very often, I prefer the way of the huntress, bow and knives. Artemis did not teach me how to use magic, she taught me to be a huntress, so why would I ever need the magic?"

"But even though she does not use it very often, she has saved many huntresses lives with it, on and off the field of battle." Artemis said as she walked up to them, Percy following closely behind her, and Atalanta noticed that her lips were slightly bruised... Hmm.

I have never seen her use her magic before, she isn't lying about not using it often... I wonder if Hecate is pleased or disappointed by that, that Atalanta inherited this power and does not use it unless she absolutely needs to, hmm. Percy thought to himself with an impressed face, standing behind Artemis.

Atalanta, please go find Thalia and tell her to gather the hunters in front of the Artemis cabin, we need to leave as soon as possible, but first we have to play capture the flag.

"Yes, My Lady." She replied quickly, getting up and running off to go find the other hunters.

"Listen up everyone, we have beaten the campers 56 straight times at capture the flag, and we are going to make it 57. We are far outnumbered this time, since we lost many hunters in the wars recently, however we have never let that stop us... Atalanta, since this is your day, you will be the team captain for the game, sorry Thalia, I hope you understand?"
