That day, Jamie, Opal and Amber wore the same outfit and their parents flashed them to Camp Half-Blood.
The party was about to start, even the hunters were there.
"Alright everyone. Today, we are celebrating something special. The return of two special people," Apollo said into the speaker. Excited chatters were heard within the crowd.
"Let's welcome back Lady Artemis and Percy Jackson," Apollo said. Percy and Artemis came out. Cheers erupted from the crowd.
"Percy!" Percy's friends yelled.
"Lady Artemis," some of the campers also yelled.
"Everyone, I'll give you some time to ask questions, then we will start eating at 6, then a game of capture the flag. We also have distinguished guests, please treat them with respect. Opal, Jamie and Amber," Apollo informed.
"Anyone have questions?" Percy asked.
"What happened to your hair?" Piper asked.
"It changed ever since I became a primordial god," Percy answered.
"Are you single, cus I'm pretty sure someone wants you," Eros teased.
"Nope," Percy replied, popping the 'p'.
"Wait, who? I thought we are single buddies," Eros said.
"I am in fact married," Percy grinned. Groans were heard.
"Who is the lucky lady?" whistled Leo.
"Artemis," Percy said. Then, chaos broke out.
"Also, I have three children. Opal, Amber and Jamie. Do not hit on them, I'm pretty sure my wife here won't have mercy on you, am I right?" Percy said. Artemis nodded.
"Anyways, any more questions?" Percy asked.
"What happened when you and Lady Artemis disappeared?" Nico asked.
"That, my dear Nico, is a story for another time," Percy said, smirking. Nico just frowned.
"Time for dinner," Apollo said.
"Party pooper," Percy said.
Food summoned by Hestia appeared on the tables. Percy joined his family at the Artemis' table. Since the hunt considered Percy and Jamie as family, they didn't have much of a problem.
After dinner, it was time for capture the flag.
"How should the teams be divided?" Chiron asked.
"Well, first of all. We can make two games. One is the Olympians and the other one is the campers," Percy suggested.
"That's actually a pretty good idea," Chiron said.
"My kids can be counted as campers," Percy said.
"Come on dad, mom, dad is being unfair," Jamie whined.
"No, listen to your father," Artemis scolded.
"Fine," Jamie rolled his eyes. Artemis and Percy just sighed.
"Anyways, I believe the game can start. Campers first. The campers against the hunters and the Jackson sibling," Chiron announced.
"This is going to be good," Percy told the Olympians.
"Start!" Chiron said, after 30 minutes of planning.
Jamie is protecting the flag while Opal, Amber and the hunters went to steal the flag. At the campers side, Nico was protecting the flag while the others went to steal the flag.
Both sides fight impressively, Clarisse went to steal the flag from Jamie. While, Phoebe was sent to steal the flag.
"Let's see who wins punk," Clarisse taunted. The Olympians watched them closely.
"Oh, I'll show you what I got," Jamie retorted, drawing his sword at a defensive position. Clarisse started to close in, throwing the first blow. Jamie blocked it with ease, he jumped up and dodged another blow. With the training from fencing, this made it a lot easier. Suddenly, two campers emerged from the bushes.
"Oh dear," Artemis sighed.
"Just watch," Percy grinned.
Jamie did a 360, knocking out the first camper, while also dodging Clarisse's blow. Then, when the other started to close in on him, he did a foot swipe, also knocking out the other with the hilt of his dagger. Suddenly, Chiron announced, "The hunters win. Flag has been taken by Opal Jackson."
"Where'd Jamie learnt that?" Artemis raised an eyebrow at Percy, asking.
"Uhm, I might've taught him that. You never know, thugs might be there," Percy said.
"I'll let this one slide," Artemis said, chuckling.
"Now, the Olympians," Chiron said.
"Let's make this fun, Artemis and Percy get to be team leaders and they will choose members," Apollo grinned.
"Alright, I choose Apollo," Percy said.
"Athena."
"Dad, Poseidon"
"Father, Zeus"
"Hades"
"Ares"
"Hermes"
"Hera"
"Hephaestus"
"Dionysus"
"Aphrodite"
"Alright, now please go to your corresponding team," Chiron said. The campers had seated themselves so they can watch this interesting game.
Artemis team: Athena, Zeus, Ares, Hera, Dionysus
Percy team: Apollo, Poseidon, Hades, Hermes, Hephaestus, Aphrodite
"Let the game begin," Chiron said.
