King Arthur And The Olympians: The Titan's Curse

Arthur is Mad at her Mom

I stooped over.. dumbfounded, as if in a trance, picking up Annabeth's invisiblity cap in my hands.. I could feel tears welling up in my eyes.. but I held them back.. I didn't want to cry in front of these people..

Especially not her..

I looked up furiously at my Godly Mom.. "WHY DIDN'T YOU WAIT!!?"

"Had M'Lady not commanded Archer to fire, thou would have met thy doom." said Zoe, approaching me. "And both you and the daughter of Athena would be dead.. "

"I am a Servant! I can take a few scratches from a lion's paws!" I growled.

"That is a Manticore, and a monster as rare as that, even a Servant wouldn't come away without being mortally scathed!" Zoe yelled back at me.

"THERE YOU ARE AGAIN!! ALWAYS DEFENDING YOUR LADY MOON GODDESS BECAUSE YOU ARE SUCH A SUCK UP!!"

"DO NOT DARE SPEAK OF THE LADY ARTEMIS AS IF-."

"AS IF WHAT!?" Thalia came to my side. "AS IF SHE WASN'T UNNECESSARILY INTERRUPTING A FIGHT WE COULD'VE WON WITHOUT YOU!?"

"YOU WOULDN'T HAVE!! THE BERSERKER WAS ABOUT TO UNLEASH IT'S NOBLE PHANTASM!!"

"enough!" said Artemis, her voice cold and stern.  We all went silent.. the power we sensed emanating from the goddess  was powerful. 

"Y.. Yes sorry Lady Artemis!" stammered Grover, grabbing my head and Thalia's head and forcing us into a sort of bow.. "We meant no disrespect!!"

"That is my daughter dear Satyr, you need not apologize for her." said Artemis.

"OF COURSE!" Grover stammered jumping back. "I.. I merely meant.."

"Suck up.." Thalia muttered. 

As I glared at the goddess who supposedly half gave birth to me.. or.. 100 percent gave birth to me in conjunction with.. oh what the heck.. anyways.. as I looked at.. HER..  the other girls who had arrived, obviously from the Hunters of Artemis began automatically taking off their packs pulling out tents and supplies, preparing to  to set up some sort of temporary camp.

The Hunters had changed since I had last seen them when I ruled Camelot ages ago. 

Aside from their more modern silver color schemed hunting clothes, there were much more of them.. and plenty of new faces, though I recognized some of the older ones who had been there since Camelot, still 12 to 17 in age. Immortality had it's perks. 

Atalanta, who I could tell now was an Archer Class Servant, was overseeing the setting up of camps, talking quickly to the girls in Ancient Greek and commanding them to do various things. 

"She found us when she was summoned as a Feral, searching for me, her patron goddess to help her.. I cured her feralness and took her under my wing.. Zoe is her Master.." said Artemis, nodding at the Command Spell on Zoe's hand.   "But I take it that the Servant here is the least of your concerns..?"

Artemis looked at our group.. Mash looked like she was trying to hide behind her own shield as Nico just looked at everything with an open jaw and excitement. 

"It seems we have explaining to do for some of the younger ones at the least." said Artemis with a nod. "Come, join me in my tent..  I would especially be grateful for your presence daughter.. "

"Whoa.. is she your mom!?" said Nico as we were led to a large tent in the center of the camp. "But she doesn't look old enough to be your mom!"

"She is the goddess Artemis." I said simply.
