The Missing Hero

And It Begins

Third POV

The seven were immediately in their way to Olympus. The camp van, driven by Argus, was silent, all of them anxious to get the news to the gods about Percy. A few tears were shed in the way, the droplets splattering, echoing throughout the van. Annabeth's mouth opened up to fill the silence, but her words were shot down by the glares of her former friends. Her guilt radiated off her in waves, but no one took any notice. Or at least, she thought.

Little did she know, Leo was looking at her with sympathy, and maybe even longing. You see, Leo had failed to fulfil his promise to calypso, and it tears him apart everyday.

Piper and Hazel were both squeezing their boyfriend's hands, excited they had a lead on Percy, but upset it was found that way. The boys were barely paying attention to their girlfriends, both lost in their thoughts, but the girls understood.

Soon, the towering, and even intimidating tower of the empire state building came into sight. Without even waiting for the car to stop, the demigods charged out of the vehicle and marched into the empire state building.

Jason's POV

As Jason marched on into the building, his thoughts took him somewhere else. He questioned himself, what, no, who, was that figure in the shadows manipulating Perce? What if he fails his cousin and they never find him? What if he is the reason Perce turns evil? That cannot happen. After all he's did to save Olympus, if he is responsible for the god's fall, gods, he didn't even want to know.

As they ran into the lobby, the same lazy worker was sitting by the counter reading a magazine.

"Excuse me, may we have the key to the six hundredth floor?" Said a breathless piper.

"Sorry ma'am, no six hundredth fl-". He stopped short as he looked up.

"Holy Hera! You guys are the seven! Your legends! Here here, take the key!"

Piper managed a quick thank you and we were soon on our way to the six hundredth floor, and Olympus.

Artemis POV

Artemis decided that after all the hell and frustration this boy has put her through, the least she could do is put him through hell by running across country.

This was something the hunters were used to and held a fast pace with ease. What they did not expect was the boy to run at an even faster pace.

Feeling insulted, Artemis urged her hunters to go faster, but they could not stay at pace with the boy for long. When she saw this, she left her hunters behind and raced after the distant figure.

When she caught up to him, she was surprised to see him shooting at targets, while he was running, might I add, lazily, almost looking bored. At first she thought he was shooting aimlessly, until she saw arrows in tree marrow, leaves punctured, and even tiny birds, some which he put in what she was assuming was a pocket in his cloak.

When the sun set, the group stopped to rest, while Artemis went to do her duties.

As Artemis was flying her chariot, she thought of this boy that popped out of nowhere. How was he able to out run her hunters, who were trained to outlast and even surpass some gods, and even her best hunters can rival her skills.

She was suddenly alerted of a meeting in the throne room. Brushing of the last of her thoughts, she put her chariot on autopilot and flashed to the throne room.

Thalia POV
Thalia was pissed. She has been trying to get that stupid male out of the tree ever since milady left like 30 minutes ago! Every time she tried to order him down, he would answer with the same, I must watch for threats bullshit. She had sent quite a few arrows up there but a black one would come and strike it down. Right

now, she had had enough and was heading up there to give him a piece of her mind. When she got up there, he was simply staring off into space. She had opened her mouth to speak when he interrupted her.

"Miss grace" he greeted her, not even turning around or losing focus with his staring contest with the sky. Or could he really be having a staring contest with Uranus? Ah, stupid ADHD.

"Listen here boy, we have a set of rules here, such as when lady Artemis is doing her duties, I am in charge. And when I say to get down from the tree, YOU GET DOWN FROM THE FUCKING TREE!"

by then hunters were starting to gather around the tree. Suddenly, the boy turned around and faced me.

"I am sorry, miss grace, but my master has given me specific orders that I am to follow."

Thalia went silent for a bit, processing the newly found information. She then responded, cautiously.

"What are the orders, and who is your master?

The boy then turned back to his previous position. "You are not at liberty to hear that."

Now, Thalia was ready to beat the crap out of this punk. She slowly brought out her hunting knife. "Now you listen here, you lit-" Thalia was cut off by a bright light, and her, the boy, and the rest of the hunters were whisked away.

Uranus POV
"Are you ready to go to earth, my warrior?"

A figure, wrapped all around with weapons, all hidden in a cloak, approached uranus.

"Yes master"

OMG, it has been so long since I last updated, I am so sorry. I will try to update faster, and hopefully you guys won't have to wait as long, that is, if anyone is reading this bullshit. Anyway, I wanna thank the people who are reading this and are writing nice comments, and thank you for just being so patient.
