The Moon Tide

Percy

Artemis looks thoughtfully at the 15th Olympian God. He was like no other man she has ever seen. He was kind. He was a leader. He knew death. He knew boundaries. But most of all he knew respect.
Perseus Void was the most respectful person the man hating Goddess has ever met  though she was one of the "youngest" Olympians.

"Lady Artemis?" The said man's voice rang throughout her head.

"Yes Lord Perseus?" She asked thoughtfully.

Percy chuckled at the maiden goddess.
"No need for formalities, Lady Artemis. And by the way, everyone has left."

Artemis looks around the throne room and saw no one sitting in their thrones. Wow...she really did space out.

"Oh..." Artemis stood up and slung her bow and arrows around her back. "Care to walk me out, Perseus?"

Perseus raised an eyebrow and nodded. "Sure mi'lady. But please just call me Percy or Void."

The Goddess nodded her head in response and started walking out of the throne room and winding hall ways with Percy by her side, hands in the pockets of his jeans.

"Lady Artemis?" Percy started. But Artemis cut him off.

"Artemis to you."

"Artemis," Percy corrected smiling his dazzling smile, but it went away as fast as it came. "I was wondering if you could maybe help me control my new powers....if not that's okay, I could ask your brother or maybe Are-"

Artemis cut him off with a hearty laugh. "Of course, Percy I'll train you. But only on Olympus. There are too many dangers of two gods being down on earth at the same time and the same place."

Percy smiled again, flashing his white teeth. "Phew! I was afraid you were going to turn me into a jackalope or worse."

Artemis smiled. That idea and thought did sound quit fun, but...not with Percy. For some reason, she wants to get to know him more, wants to be friends with him. Maybe more. No.No.No.No.No. Artemis. You are a maiden Goddess. SNAP out of it.
Artemis nagged herself.

But the oath doesn't say you can't have feelings towards a male....
The other voice said in her head.

Suddenly Artemis felt a strong hand grip her fore arm.
She then noticed that they were in front of her palace.

"Goodnight, Artemis." Percy's soothing voice washed over her, making her relax.

She put her free hand on top of Percy's hand that was son her fore arm.

"Goodnight Percy."

And with that he left to go to his castle. Where he could sleep.
Right.next.door.

Perseus Allan Jackson Void is Artemis's next door neighbor.
