Legends Never Die

Reunion

Shadows distorted nearby and a boy, a couple years younger than Perseus popped out. Dressed all in black and very pale, he had a very pissed off look on his face, similar to his cousin Thalia. "Percy, damn it, you had us searching for three years without success! Do you know the kind of strain that put on us?"

"I'm sorry Nico. I had to escape everything for awhile. And I've been preparing for a threat to a very specific Olympian."

Artemis frowned. "What do you mean by that?"

Percy turned his cold gaze on her. "I mean that you are at great risk and I was ordered by your predecessor, Selene, the Titaness of the Moon to ensure your survival. Not to mention, I have to create a task force to guard each of the Olympians. I have a long road ahead of me."

Artemis sighed. This seemed like a long and rough road. And she was almost sure that this man here, Perseus Jackson, would be joining her Hunt for some time to come. The girls were not going to like this. "So, does that mean you are going to be sticking around us for a while?" Thalia asked.

"Yes. But in no way will I take any shit from the Hunters. The slightest form of aggression will be returned in kind. I've become far more dangerous than the entire demigod population combined. Very little could stand in my way that's weaker than the Olympian Council. Maybe the Big Three could take me, but that's a maybe. I've been training to fight an enemy older than even the Titans."

Artemis' eyebrows scrunched together. All this was giving her a headache, and Gods don't even get headaches. "Alright, Perseus. We need to go before the Olympian Council. I assume that we will need Thalia and Nico there as well. If things get out of hand, and you have become as strong as you say, then I'll need them to smack some sense into you, seeing as you wouldn't dare harm them."

Percy nodded. "Let's go," he replied, dissipating into a mist. Thalia's eyes widened. "Did...did he just do what Lord Poseidon does?"

Artemis glared at the spot he had been standing. "Yes. He seems to have gotten a lot stronger. It takes quite a bit of power and concentration to pull that little trick off, especially as a demigod, even if he is immortal like you. And Nico? You will be receiving the same when we get there. I won't risk him losing his mind. If the issue with camp sent him into a spiral like that, then losing either you or Thalia, Zeus forbid, would have devastating consequences." Nico wisely just nodded before melting into the shadows, headed to Olympus as well.

Artemis laid a hand on Thalia's shoulder and they disappeared in a flash, leaving the Hunt who had walked up towards the end of the conversation, behind and wondering what in the world was going on.
