¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶Percy POV ¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
I woke up to a hunter yelping. I looked up to see Sara looking at me wide eyed blushing. She quickly walked out of the room and closed the door. I looked down to see I was only in boxers. I shrugged and put my pants, shirt, cloak, and armor on. I then strapped my sword and hunting knives to my side and threw my bow and quiver over my shoulder. I whistled and Cosmo ran over to my side and we walked out to the dining cavern. "Listen up girls, we are heading outside today to learn how to track a monster. I want you all ready to go in ten minutes, meaning hurry up and eat." I walked away and spotted Sara talking to a group of friends blushing. "Can I have a word with you Sara?" She nodded as her friends giggled at me. I guess she told them. We walked away to the wolf cavern and I opened the door. We walked in and we stood in silence. "I'm sorry." Sara whispered with her head down.
" I'm not mad, I was the one who should've closed my door. But that's not the reason why we're here. I want you to find a wolf. "
"How do I do that?"
"Some wolves choose you others you have to choose so just walk around and see if any of the wolves watch or follow you more then another."
She nodded her head and walked into the middle of the cavern. Wolves circled her growling.
"Sit down and relax, your agitating them." She sat down and after awhile decided to lay down. Soon the wolves walked away but a few went up to sniff her. One wolf kept coming up to her before it decided to curl up with her and sleep. It was a she wolf. She had light brown fur and dark emerald green eyes. I smiled before walking away and to the front cavern where the rest of the girls were waiting. I drew another delta sign into the wall and pushed on it before heading out with all of the girls behind me. "I want two groups, each one will try to track down a monster, kill it, then find their way back to camp. If your not back on the camp by sun set then your team is stuck out here." They hurriedly got in groups and split up. One group going north, the other east. I just went back into the cave and used my powers to expand it more now that I didn't have to deal with the hunters getting hurt on accident. I walked around and put symbols on the walls so we could have escape exits. I laced the tunnels with my magic so that they could grow and expand on their own. Rooms were carved into the mountain With a bed and shelf's made of mud. I went back to the front and waited for the girls to get back.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°Arty POV°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
I was starting to get worried about Percy being surrounded by only girls for so long. The last time I was able to talk to him was 2 years ago. Every time I try to go and find him Apollo stops me. The other gods, expescially Athena, are starting to question my behavior. Ever since Percy left I've been trying to act happy but I'm sad that he's gone. "Hey, Arty."
"Don't call me Arty Hermes."
"Ok, ok. So, the rest of the council, except your brother, who seems to know the answer but won't tell us, was wondering why your so depressed."
"It's Percy. I can't get over it."
"It's going to be alright."
As soon as he said that Ares called a meeting. As everyone flashed in Ares looked sad. "Why did you call this meeting?" Hera asked him.
"My guardian, she's dead. She died killing a drakon. Clarisse was a good guardian, and for that I will bless any child of mine with that name."
We all bowed our heads in respect for a second before discussing resent events. "I think we need to call the guardians back. We've already lost 4 of ours not to mention how many the minor gods have lost their! " Hera told us.
"We can't but its time to send them off. And hope that a it all goes well." Father told the council tiredly. Everyone nodded and Apollo flashed to give the oracle the prophecy. We all flashed away to prepare ourselves for the upcoming war. I just flashed away thinking of Percy when I started to feel cold. When I opened my eyes I was surrounded by snow and there was a mountain right behind me. I leaned up against the mountain trying to figure out where I was when I feel backward and ended up on the ground on my back in side the mountain. I got up and looked around. From what I could see I was in a entrance cave.
"Bravo, you ma-, ARTY!" some said behind me.
I turned around and standing in front of me was a man with raven black hair, dark emerald, green eyes and he had a cloak on. "Percy?" I whisper softly. He just stands there before rushing forward and hugging me tightly. I hug him back. He let me go to look at my face." How did you find me? I didn't tell Apollo. "
"I don't know I was just flashing away from a meeting while thinking of you and ended up right here. What's up with the wall, it was pretty solid till I fell through it?" I ask him.
"I forgot you could teleport where I was, at least you didn't land on me this time." He laughs as I start blushing." Its a secret symbol. You must have leaned against it and activated it." He hugs me again and kisses my forehead.
"What were you saying when I walked in?" I asked burying my head in his neck.
"I had sent the girls out in to groups to track a monster, kill it, then be back here by sunset." He answered.
"You can't stay here long. You have to leave." He said pulling away and walking down a tunnel. I went to follow him but a wolf got in my way. " Cosmo, come" Percy called.
I followed him and we ended up in a room. His room to be exact. He picked something up before turning around." Close your eyes." He commanded. I did as told and felt his fingers against my neck. I felt something resting on my chest when he moved away." Open them."
I looked down and around my chest was a necklace with a ring the had a small wolf carved on it. It had a waning moon on one side and a waxing moon on the other. It was beautiful. The wolf was black with a blue tipped ear and dark green eyes. "Do you like it?" Percy asked quietly, observing me.
"I love it." I walked over to him and softly kissed him on the lips. I pulled away and he smiled at me.
" it my promise to you that I will always be there for you no matter what. So will you except my promise and be my wife?"he kneeled down in front of me. I nodded my head yes and kissed him again. He lifted me up and spun me around happily. He put me down and kissed me passionately. When we broke apart from the kiss I was breathless and he was smirking.
"I need to go check on the girls. I'll be back." Once he disappeared I looked around his room for awhile before realizing that I was extremely tired. I layed down on his bed and snuggled into the blankets.

I had left arty so I could check on the girls. As I was walking to the main cavern I couldn't stop thinking of what will happen once this war was over and me and Arty could finally be together. As I reached the cavern I seen both groups were here with nobody missing or injured. "Good job girls. I think you are ready to be blessed by your patron. Artemis is here and tomorrow she shall bless those of you who still wish to stay with the hunt. Those who don't are allowed to leave with us but once we are past the borders of Alaska you are on your own. Time for bed you have a very big day ahead." I walked away leaving the girls to get to their rooms. I walked into my room to see arty snuggled into my blankets. I smiled softly before taking off my armor and cloak. I put my weapons up and took my boots off before laying down. After a second Arty snuggled into my chest. I closed my eyes and whispered " I love u" before darkness consumed me.
