The Dark Side of the Moon

II

Hey guys how is it going? Here is chapter 2 of The Dark side of the Moon once again I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians Rick Riordan does.

Chapter 2

Olympus, The Throne room

Previously

They didn't know where my Achilles spot was, but I knew that there was only one person I had told where my mortal point was and I was sure she was in shackles as well. As I got up I parried another strike I looked past Ares frustrated face to see Zeus seething with anger until I saw I grin slowly creep onto his face which made me wonder what was happening, but before I could register what happened I felt a piercing pain in the my Achilles Spot I turned around to see Artemis with tears in her eyes as she mouthed the words I am sorry.

I looked at her in disbelief as I fell to a knee I could hear Zeus laughing evilly, happy that he has his throne. My father along with the other gods that favored me yell out at me to hold on I felt myself begin to lose consciousness. I fell to my back as the blood kept pouring out of my back.

As I began to close my eyes I heard a voice inside my head," What would you give to have revenge on those who betrayed you young Demi-God" I replied without hesitation," My Life."

Now

Artemis POV (During the Reward Ceremony)

I sat on my throne with my huntresses by me as I watched the reward ceremony unfold in front of me. After the maiden Annabeth Chase accepted her reward as the Architect of Olympus and rolled her wheelchair next to Percy as they conversed for a bit just out of earshot of me. I could feel this unknown feeling start to bubble up inside of me as I watched them smile and laugh in each other's company. That should be me with Perseus..smiling and laughing as we talked and enjoyed each other's- whoa. I do not know where that came from, I know I shouldn't be thinking these thoughts I am a maiden for Hades sake!

Finally Perseus's name was called dragging me out of my daydreaming as I felt a nudge on my leg, looking down I see a Thalia look at me and then where I was looking at before I was pulled out of my thoughts; Thalia turned to me with her grin that said it all, you are so in love with my cousin milady, I shot her a glare and she shrunk back making me smirk.

After glaring daggers at Dionysus for trying to deny Perseus God hood I simply waited for him to say yes, which I silently hoped he would, he told me his mortal point for hades sake! Who does that? You don't just tell anyone that information, and if you do you are saying you trust them more than you trust yourself.

" Perseus do you agree to become a God?" Poseidon asked his son with hope in his eyes. Perseus looked around the throne room our eyes locked, but Perseus looked away quickly which surprised me. I looked on as Perseus took a deep breath," as much as I would love to be a god I am going to have to respectfully decline father." The tension in the room was thick as I tried to not to think of Fathers reaction to Perseus's answer, although I had a feeling I would be right.

Poseidon looked slightly hurt by his son's answer, but quickly dismissed it knowing there must be a good reason to not accept his offer of godhood. Although Father looked like he was about light up the sky with enough lightning and thunder to keep the sky lit up for weeks. I knew he would be mad that Perseus denied godhood which hurt his pride, but I never expected him to pull out his master bolt and say in a deadly tone," if you don't become a god and swear allegiance to Olympus what stops you from trying to dethrone me from my seat as the King of the Gods?"

I looked on in disbelief hoping that this was some sort of joke that I was not in on, but when I saw Perseus tense up I knew it wasn't a joke he calmly tried to dismantle the situation," Lord Zeus my Fatal Flaw is Loyalty I would never betray the ones I have protected on this day, I protected Olympus from the Titan King Kronos, is that not enough to vouch for my loyalty?"
