Perseus Jackson: Titan of The Hunt

CH67: Revalations

(Artemis)

At last Percy finally began to come to as I noticed his breaths change pattern before his eyelids began to flutter. However as eager as I was to see if he was alright I also had to watch for Apollo's reaction to what was about to occur. Despite his outwardly goofy exterior he was a firm believer in the whole the needs of the many policy. Which was I did not doubt what he would try and do if there was something wrong with Percy despite the eventual reactions from everyone else.

However my fears were unfounded when Percy suddenly flicked his eyes open and I watched the sea-green and gold orbs dart from Apollo to myself and finally to the bronze trident impaled either side of his neck.

'I guess I have some explaining to do then?' He said with a sigh before turning back towards me with a wry smile on his face.

I was about to reply when I was rudely interrupted by an idiot darting around the fallen Titan and interposing himself between me and Percy. He had allowed his bow to go slack but it was still at the ready. If he so much as tried to restring that arrow I would grab it and shove it where the Apollo doesn't shine.

'How do we know it is really you?' Apollo asked aggressively.

'Because I am not trying to kill everything within a quarter mile, trying to break free from my current situation. Also though I can't check without a mirror I am pretty sure my eyes are back to normal.' Percy answered sarcastically and I almost wanted to face palm in disbelief.

'This is not the time for jokes.' Apollo stated.

'I know that is why we did not invite Dionysius.' Percy countered making me want to chuckle, though at this rate he really was going to get himself killed. Using a limb from 'my' bow I pushed Apollo out of the way it was pretty clear it was the real Percy. The possessed one had been more death threats than the usual joking and sarcasm.

'Apollo that is enough, why don't you let the adults speak.'

'Sis, why are you not taking this seriously? He could still be a threat to us all.'

'In my defense your honor. How much of a threat can I be if I am still pinned to the floor?' Percy chimed in from the ground giving the trident a half hearted yank with one hand though it remained steadfast.

'Percy shut up unless you want to die.' I told him firmly before turning back to my twin.

'Nevertheless he raises a good point what exactly can he do from his current position. Besides he does not fall under your jurisdiction to do anything about. He is my guardian, a part of my hunt and therefore my responsibility. So if you lift one finger against him I will return it with interest.'

'Arty why won't you see reason.'

'Enough with the Arty crap. I am seeing reason. I am more than capable of looking after myself despite what you seem to think. You lack perspective in this case. You arrived after everything was dealt with and now think you can take control. You don't know what it is like to have something fuck with your head and be powerless to stop it. Hell I almost killed my own Lieutenant because of that thing and yet he stopped me. So I think I am right in giving him the benefit of the doubt.' I shouted at him causing him to recoil away from me.

'Benefit of the doubt? Since when have you ever given a male the benefit of the doubt? You see things in black and white Arty and all men are firmly in the dark. So what makes him so special, I don't want this turning into another Orio-.' He never got to finish the sentence as I lost control and slapped him full force causing him to stagger backwards before tripping over Percy's legs.

'Don't you ever dare to try and ridicule my beliefs. It is because of men like you and that piece of shit that I do see the world like I do. 3000 years and you continue to treat women like pieces of meat for your personal entertainment before you discard them in favor of a fresher one. And yet you wonder why I do not like spending time with you. I am ashamed to be associated with you.' I screamed at him before letting out a deep breath and looking at the shocked look on his face with a sense of satisfaction as a millennia of pent up aggression was released.
