A/N. Reviews!

"a war has come" -normalpjofan

Indeed.

"Hoooly shit shit is about to hit the fan and Percy is gonna have to explain to Zeus and the others why they were attacked (which i guess will happen within the next 2 or 3 chapters) if they are even still alive... and i'm goibg to love it !" -Ladis11

Mmm, not quite. You'll see lol.

"Dang, gotta admit I was cautious when Percy said he was going to go to heaven but you pulled it off. God being the bad guy and free will not being a thing is a nice touch too. Wonder how Percy will react to fate being broken." -fugy

Thanks man. Though, just want to point out, Michael was in fact lying when he said Free Will doesn't exist. Because Fate is broken.

"Fuck yes! Now this is getting really interesting, can't wait to see this new arc start up!" -Almostimportant

I can't wait to show yall what I got planned.

"Uh ok" -The ultimite deity

Uh, okay.

"Very good chapter can not wait for more also i wanna see how things go between percy and artemis" -Guest

Well, here you go!

Onto the chapter!

Chapter Twenty-One

Percy stared at the drachma in his hand. There was a rainbow in front of him, glittering on the surface of the lake, but he couldn't bring himself to toss the golden coin into it. His stomach was twisting and turning. His hands were sweating. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Come on, Percy." He muttered to himself.

After a couple more moments, he tossed the coin into the rainbow. "Fleecy, do me a solid. Can you show me Artemis, I don't know where she is, probably in some woods, somewhere?"

"I need a location, Percy." Came Fleecy's voice from the rainbow. "I can't connect you to someone if I don't know where they are."

Percy sighed. "Um, try Thalia Grace, at the Hunter's Camp."

"I don't kn—Oh wait, found it."

"Is Artemis there?"

"No, should I still connect you with Thalia?"

"Yes, please."

"One moment."

A couple of moments passed before the rainbow shimmered, and Thalia's face appeared in the image. She was looking at something off to the side, before shouting back at someone. "It has to be done! I don't care who does it!"

Then she seemed to notice the iris message and grinned. "Hey, Perce, what's up?"

Percy rubbed the back of his neck. "Hey Thals. Do you, uh, do you know where Artemis is?"

Thalia's grin dropped into a scowl. "Artemis." She said, "She's off on a private hunt. She's been in a weird mood ever since last week." She narrowed her eyes. "Do you have something to do with it?"

Percy sighed. "Yeah. I, uh, I messed up. Um, what do you mean by 'weird mood'?"

"She seems to be... contemplative, I guess. I can't really describe it other than weird. It's not like her though. Whatever you did, you better fix it."

"I want to, trust me, I do. I just need to find her so I can make things right."

"Well, I told you already, she's on a private hunt. I think she might have mentioned Yellowstone? She likes it there, thinks the geysers are pretty."
