Percy°°°°°
I came out of a shadow five feet away from the hunters, and almost behind artemis. I quickly put my hands up yelling, "Im Percy, dont shoot!"
They all loosened their grips on the bow string, as Thalia stepped closer and looked at me.
"Say something Percy would." she commanded.
"Uhhh, hi?" I asked, not knowing what else to say?
Sad thing was, she turns around and to the rest of the hunters says, "yep, its kelp head alright." and then they all laugh. So naturally, I pout. Thalia comes over and pats my head, "there there Percy, we all love you, but, your just such a seaweed brain. Any way, what's up with your new look?" she asked, and I just looked at her.
"Well, I just became the champions of Artemis, Hestia, Hades, and, The fates. So, I dunno how I look but, if its changed enough to where you can't recognize me, then, I need to talk with aphrodite f-"
"Did someone just say my name?" aphrodite cut me off.
"Yea, I did, is there anyway I can change my looks back so nobody else knows about what happened?" I asked her.
"Of course, but, only if you become my champion, pleaseee?" she begged, making a pout face.
I sighed and nodded my head yes, making her smile and giggle, clapping her hands together. She calmed down enough to place a hand on my shoulder and gave me her blessing. I looked at Thalia for conformation and she nodded. "Looking normal seaweed brain. Although, you look taller now." she shook her head as she walked up to me and craned her head to see me. I laughed and looked around to see everyone else had gone back to daily tasks, so, I headed to the creek to start with laundry.
---time skip--1 year-----
I quickly dodge the arrow that's flying towards me and fire back, my aim perfect as it snags on loose cloth and pins them to the tree they were passing. I quickly shoot the bow out of their hands and approach her carefully, keeping my string taunt with an arrow drawn, and as I stand with an arrow to her throat, she gives. "I yield, you win." arty concedes
"Do you need any help?" I ask her, putting my arrow in my quiver and putting my bow across my back.
"Yea, get this arrow that's holding me here." she glares at me as I pull out the arrow and looks at the two holes now in her uniform.
"Your lucky I like you Percy, otherwise you'd be an animal about now."
I laugh and throw my arm around her shoulders.
"Come on, you gotta admit, Im getting pretty good."
"Yes, yes you are, and everyone thought you couldn't be taught, haha! You just needed the proper teacher." she smiled at me and I gave her my signature lopsided smirk.
"Lets go celebrate with blue cookies!" I suggest.
She laughs "sure perce, last one there gets to have the first cookie!" she shouted as she ran off toward the camp. I ran after her, catching up fast with my blessing from hermes. As I reach the tent, the tips of my fingers just barely brush against the fabric before artemis flashes right next to me.
"Haha! Nice try arty, I still won. Cheaters never win." I stick my tongue out at her.
She just pushes my shoulder and we enter the tent, getting the cookies started. "Only 6 more months perce, you ready to go back?" artemis asks as we start placing globs of dough on cookie sheets.
"Of course, because, as much as I love it here, I miss my wise girl." I tell her, placing the cookie sheet inside the oven.
We goof around, preparing more cookies so the rest of the hunt could join us in celebration.
-------3 hours-------
°°°°°°artemis°°°°°°
I was watching as the hunt and Percy sat around on the ground, sharing stories and jokes. I felt pride as I watched Percy now and compared him to when he first arrived. He was taller, and more lean, his shoulders broader from working with a bow and arrows for a year and a half, and his presence was stronger, being the champion or blessed by practically all of Olympus made him more powerful then any demigod of past, present, and future. He was one of a kind, he gathered power like an ocean gathers rain and yet, he is still humble, kind, and loyal. And to see his true form is to look at the physical formation of Olympus and all its powers. He stands at 7'4, his hair is raven black, but, thanks to several blessings and champion claiming, the tips of his hair changes colors depending on the power he use, his body his all hard, chiseled muscle, leaving for him with broad shoulders that lead down to a narrow waist and an 8-pack that was so defined, it made the grand canyon jealous, his eyes were a swirling mass of power, they are unlike anything I've ever seen, if you stare to long you drown in his gaze, the most prominent colors was his original jaw dropping sea green, with swirls and drops of silver, pitch black, crimson red, and, golden. There were smaller specks of other colors, some larger than others but none as prominent as those main 5. His cheek bones were higher, and more prominent, they looked sharp enough to cut through diamond, his bottom lip was full, and his eyebrows were perfectly arched. He had a slight shadow of stubble, but it made him more appealing, and his voice was deep and smooth, like honey. And yes, I realise Im a maiden goddess, but, even i have to appreciate his good looks, because, even though he looks like that, he chooses to stay in his born form, even though he still looks handsome in that form also. Im called from my thoughts by Percy, who shouts my name from where he sits with the hunters.
"Yes Percy?" I answer.
"We made a bet, the bet is if I can beat you at archery." he replies.
I laugh and nod at him. "Sure perce, what do i get once I win?" I ask.
"If you win. And, instead of telling you, Im going to writes it on a paper and give it to the hunters while you do the same and then whoever wins gets the reward." he tells me.
I just nod and grab a pen and paper, before writing his reward and giving it to thalia who then goes over to Percy and gets his slip of paper before we go to the archery range, right before we start a hellhound jumps from the tree line and Percy shoots it.
"New game, who ever kills the most monsters win!" Percy shouts as more monster fill the clearing, taking out 6 more before I finally react and start shooting.
"Your on!"I tell him, quickly dispatching the monsters with Percy as the hunters idly shoot some from their spots, not to worried because me and Percy were killing them faster then they could replace each other.
Finally, the last hound is shot and I turn, smirking at Percy, having killed 73 I didn't think Percy could've killed more until I saw the hunters and Percy smirking right back.
"I got 79, what bout you arty?" he taunts.
"I got 73."I whispered, shocked.
"What's my reward?" he turns to the hunters who giggle evilly in my direction.
"Your reward Percy, is a kiss from artemis. "Thalia replies formally before breaking down in laughter.
"Wait, what?" he looked confused "I was being prideful, and I figured, Im the goddess of archery... So, yea, lets just get this over." I grumble.
Percy approaches me slowly, his movement reminding me of a feline stalking it prey, before softly cupping my cheeks and looking at me, letting his eyes turn to their powerful, swirling version before softly whispering to me.
"Im not going to kiss you arty, I respect you to much, and I love Annabeth, I couldn't do that to her." he says before smirking and looking behind him real quick and giving me an overly exaggerated kiss on the cheek and making all the hunters laugh at my face.
