Percy had to be the one to flash them out of Chaos' realm because even major Gods of Olympus had very little power in the void and they could have ended up anywhere and if Artemis had on the off chance accidentally sent them to Asgard then the Bifrost would have obliterated the both of them because this place was the one realm beyond Heimdallr's watch.

They flashed down just outside the throne room. Many denizens of Olympus were always milling about the great heaven city. The two lovebirds decided to walk through Olympus to get to Athena's palace. They knew it was highly likely that she wasn't there but if you knock on a God's door, they will always answer the call. Then they could speak to her concerning Galo. Percy had recruited four out of the five generals that he wanted and that was about what he needed so even if Galo refused his offer, he'd still be much better off.

Eventually they managed to get to Athena's temple and Percy knocked loudly on the front door. It took a few moments before a flustered Athena answered the door, adjusting the collar on her blouse frantically.

"Hello? Yes?" She asked with brutal bluntness. Not even bothering to hide the fact that she was clearly busy and didn't like being disturbed. Percy grinned with a smug look of satisfaction.

"Hey Artemis, look what you've started. The other maiden daughter of Zeus is giving up her vow it seems." Percy grinned as he created a godlike cigar out of thin air. He could get away with stuff like that as the champion of Chaos.

Athena gave him a cold glare before clearing her throat. "I was merely conveying a sports project. One of my young children needed to get one up on an Apollo child and I saw fit to help them achieve that." Athena told them unsteadily.

"Yeah whatever. I'm betting five thousand drachma that it's Poseidon." Percy said with all of the seriousness that he could muster as he turned to look directly into Artemis' eyes, if just to reinforce the gravity of the situation.

"Wouldn't be surprised. If she was to break her vow for anyone I'd expect it to be Poseidon. They've had a very love hate relationship for centuries." Artemis explained, thinking that Percy was joking. He gave her a very estranged look.

"I'm not joking Artemis. Inherited knowledge of the universe and everything that's ever happened remember? That's right Athena, I know about that MRPH-" Percy was quickly silenced by Athena's hand but being the joker he was, he continued to talk like there was nothing stopping him. With a sigh Athena removed her hand. "-ICH begs the question, are you even still a maiden?" He asked her with a raised eyebrow. Artemis elbowed him in the ribs.

"That's very rude and personal." She hissed at him.

"Not if you'd heard my deductive reasoning but someone saw fit to silence me. It kinda took away the friendly edge I had purposely put on the conversation." He said as he threw his arms into the sky in defeat. He wouldn't be able to win against his bride to be.

"You apparently know everything, you tell me." Athena huffed with crossed arms.

"No, I said that I knew of everything that had happened. HAD. I can only remember the knowledge of the universe up until the point that I was made Chaos' champion, and you were indeed still at that point, but given your reaction I take it you're no longer said maiden." Percy smirked triumphantly.

Athena huffed, "You are lucky that you are no longer merely a demi-god Perseus." She told him with a glaring gaze.

"No you're right. I'm not a demi-god anymore. I'm the God king of Asgard and the Champion of Chaos. Much more prolific than a demi-god." Percy winked at the wisdom Goddess triumphantly yet again. The smugness was evidently rolling off of him because she only glared at him even harder.
