A/N- I know that the last one was maybe a little confusing for some of you, but that is ok, if it wasn't obvious Diana took over when they went to Rome and Artemis took back control after she locked lips with Percy, what a cliche love story, huh?
Enjoy, starting this out with a ton of dialogue, so I know you guys like that stuff.
Later that day, inside the Praetors office, Reyna Ramirez-Arellano and Artemis, Percy and Atalanta.
(Oh God... Now I am putting a scene description at the top of these... Just a few more chapters and I'll be Shakespeare guys, mark my words...)
"We have been expecting you for quite some time now, Lady Artemis, the campers have all been rigorously preparing for your arrival. You will find that the Artemis house is freshly cleaned and stocked up for your stay, we have taken the liberty of cleaning the streets and organizing everything as well as was possible, all five of the Cohorts are ready and waiting." She explained, leaving some things unsaid so that they could discuss, like the part of the training.
"You have your own house here in Rome?" Percy asked Artemis, with an astonished look on his face, he knew that she had a Cabin in camp half blood, obviously... But an actual estate in Rome? That was cool, and he honestly felt kind of stupid that he didn't know about it, as he was a Praetor too, technically.
"Yes, it is equivalent to my palace on Olympus, and it serves the same purpose, being more than enough to house my hunters and some other guests, I can't even remember the last time that I used it. Fun fact, it is called the Moon Mansion."
"Oh my gosh, that is such a tacky name, but that is incredible, do you have to like... Pay rent?" He asked hesitantly, he was honestly confused.
"Of course not! I am a goddess, why would I have to pay rent? But seriously, it is funded by Olympus, and no every god does not have one."
"There is something more than meets the eye with you two, isn't there?" Reyna asked cautiously, she always was a smart one.
"Maybe, Percy has recently had a lot of problems in his life and is now our... Protector, if you will, the hunters accept him and we are very good friends... Anyways, we would like to take the day to prepare and then please could you gather all of the Cohorts together at, maybe midday tomorrow, I would like to give a speech. Percy here is at your disposal if you need any help, I know very well that he is a Praetor as well."
"Very well My Lady, I will do as you say, one thing though, if I may ask..."
"Of course," she replied.
"Why are you not Diana? You are in Rome now and so you should have transitioned? Correct?"
"You are correct, but sometimes it is possible to take back control even though we are in Rome and my Roman form should have taken over, I have a strong enough will to take back control from her, she was... Threatening Percy, and I couldn't allow that, surely you understand?"
"Of course," Artemis replied, crossing her arms.
"Do you understand the problem that is currently going on at Olympus and why we are here in the first place?"
"Very much so, I know that two of the Primordials' have declared war on Olympus and that you need to deliver the news to both camps and prepare them for war, I assure you, the Romans are and will be ready to fight to the last demigod, we openly welcome you to Rome."
"You certainly did your homework; how did you already know so much?" Artemis asked.
"Lady Minerva told me, she came down a few days ago to inform me of what was going on with the upcoming war and all that."
