"He is my protector."

Chiron was shocked, Artemis was the proudest goddess he knew when it came to self-defense and the strength of women allowing a 'protector' but the protector is a wolf. "If I may Lady Artemis, but how is the wolf your protector?"

"He was a gift for me, he will protect me even if I don't want him to. He is loyal and powerful." Artemis replied before she grew to her godly height and called the council. The wolf, laid down at the foot of her throne. Everyone arrived shortly, all with confused looks on their faces.

But then Apollo took a long yawn, "What is it little sis?" At this the wolf growled at the sun god, a growl that made him shiver. But Artemis took it in stride.

"I am here to make aware the returning heroes." Artemis stated, gaining her confused looks from the council, "Some of my hunters that had died in the two wars have returned to me, including my lieutenant Zoë Nightshade and Bianca Di Angelo, both of whom had a prophecy that predicted their deaths." All the gods were shocked at this some shooting glances at Hades, "And I do not believe that Hades would be able to do this."

Hades pulled out his iPad and scrolled through a little bit before his face looked shocked beyond believe, "My records don't even show them having died, as if it never happened. But there are some that died that never were judged but were placed in immediate Elysium."

Chiron stepped up now, "My lords and ladies, we had many of our campers return as well, the heroes from the two wars as well as the battle of the labyrinth. Some of the campers were Roman and some Greek, and they just walked out of the forest. They told stories of a hooded man who came to each of them, some in groups others alone and offered them a new life. That is what he gave them, but some came back with even more. He has made some of the campers immortal."

"What!?" Zeus bellowed.

"Along with fully immortalizing my hunters Zoë and Bianca." Artemis added.

"How is this possible? No one should be able to do that besides the council after the wars." Athena questioned, herself without an answer for once.

"Artemis, Chiron, what can you tell us of this man? We must know if he is a threat or not." Zeus managed over the murmurs of the council.

"My campers told us their stories, he seemed to know about everything that has happened in the last 3 years, the first campers to die in the titan war were even brought back." This caught Dionysus' attention.

"What of my son? Did Castor come back?" Dionysus would never admit it to the campers but he loved his children dearly.

"Yes Mr. D, he was brought back and given immortality like Pollux. Many of our campers were also made immortal, Michael Yew, Lee Fletcher," Apollo was tearing up now, "Ethan Nakumura", Athena got a look of calculations, "all the Roman centurions that fell in their siege of Mount Tam, all councilors that died in the giant and titan wars, like Silena Beauregard and Charles Beckendorf," Aphrodite was letting tears of joy fall, despite her wearing make-up and holding hands with a similarly smiling Hephaestus, "even..." Chiron voice faltered on this.

"Who else Chiron? What were you about to say?" Zeus questioned.

"Luke Castellan, Lord Zeus." Chiron said weakly.

Athena was really calculating this; two children that were considered enemies have been resurrected and granted immortality by this man. And these were the two that Percy Jackson had declared heroes despite their actions. But Hermes was shedding tears of joy now, his pride and joy had returned.
