P.O.V Thalia.

I saw my cousin standing against the Giants alone. Then a thought darted into my mind... Could he be..... No...... Could he? I thought. Is he really the reason Artemis dissolved her oath? Others were wearing the same expression. We were all trying to figure it out when Alex spoke to the Giants.
"Before you try anything that your tiny little brains consider smart, which is incredibly stupid even to a mouse, this gun is loaded with Chaos silver bullets..." Both sides take 2 steps away from him, save Artemis, who does the exact opposite and draws her bow, taking aim at the Giants . "...And I don't have to reload."

P.O.V Zeus

Chaos silver! I take 2 steps back, whilst Artemis does the opposite, drawing her bow and taking aim at the Giants.
Could it be Him? She dissolved her oath for him? No! She may just be standing up for him as a deterrent. I'm over thinking this... I shook my head and my eyes widened as the Giants took one look at Artemis and my nephew, then at their fallen, and fled like rabbits from a fox. Alexandr shoved his gun into the long black trench coat. Gave me a small salute and went to walk off, but Artemis placed a hand on his shoulder, and did something very un-Artemis. She kissed him. A male.

P.O.V Artemis

I kissed Alexandr as he went to leave, he muttered to me. "Later?"
"Sure." I replied and let him leave.
I turned to the collected gods and immortals with their jaws on the floor, save Hades, who Alex had probably confined in. I sighed. "I have a lot of explaining to do, don't I?"
Thalia smiled like the devil. "Indeed you do."

P.O.V Alexandr

I was about to head to the dining tent when my dad grabbed my shoulder.
"Alex?"
"Yeah dad?"
He smiled and winked. "You just gave the finger to a lot of the dead"
I laughed. My dad smiled. "Seriously, good job on getting her." He waved goodbye and vanished into shadows.
I smiled, first time my dad told me 'Good job.' The world must be ending. I chuckled  and clicked my fingers and the food prepared itself, as well as the hunters washing was cleaned and folded. I grabbed a little seasoning and added it to the cooking food and served it on the buffet. I poked my head to see Artemis practically being drowned in questions, so I decided to save her. "YOU LOT GONNA STAND THERE ALL NIGHT, OR ARE YOU ACTUALLY GOING TO EAT?" I yelled to them. They faced me, Zeus asked Artemis a question, she turned red and everyone came in to the dining tent, me taking my usual spot, as isolated as possible after getting my food. I felt a being of power behind me, standing there, unmoving. "Apollo... You going to stand there all night or are you going to sit down?" I muttered to him and myself. "I need you to answer me honestly Alexandr, do you love my sister?" He whispered to me. "Yes." I answered. "Good, I just needed to make sure you were the right person for my little sis." He whispered a slight bit too loud. I saw Artemis turn red and the hunters and I slowly stood up and backed out of the tent, taking our food with us, leaving the gods behind. "In 3.... 2...... 1......." I heard Thalia say. A blast of swear words and verbal assault, that wound make an R movie seem like the friendliest thing in the world, blasted out from inside the tent. I resumed eating outside with the huntresses who didn't seem to mind eating outside around the camp fire.
"Soooo, death breath, you like Artemis?"
"Are you honestly blind, Pinecone face?"
Laughter ensued. The swear words stopped and the dining tent was sealed as a defeated Apollo walked over and sat down on the logs. Apollo lent over and said. "So when are you two getting married?"
Laughter at my expense, that soon drained away, leaving me laughing.
A VERY pissed off Artemis was standing behind Apollo. He slowly turned his face towards his sister. I grabbed the hunters and told them to link arms. They did so and I teleported them to a platform I made in the tree I sleep in.
Thalia raised an eyebrow.
I shrugged.
Artemis exploded in rage.

Poor Apollo.
I wish that you also #PrayForFrance in their time of crisis
