The Lost Goddess

The Return

Artemis' POV

Camp Half-Blood

The Hunt and I arrived at Camp Half-Blood 3 days ago. I immediately talked to Chiron and got the Romans to come to Camp. Everything was going our way so far, but Percy still wasn't here yet.

We were all eating lunch when Hermes flashed in.

"Artemis Council meeting." I nodded and went over to him after telling them Thalia was in charge. "Chiron Zeus also want you to bring everyone to Olympus in an hour."

We both flashed out and reappeared in the Throne Room and I rose to my godly hight and sat on my throne while Hermes did the same. 

"Father, why did you ask me here?" I asked

"Percy told us about your hunter and we decided that since it sounds like Orion is going to attack soon, it would be a good idea for him to return." My father said smirking.

"You just called me Percy, Uncle," Percy said coming into the Throne Room.

"Are you sure?" I asked him. 

"Yeah. It's been almost 17 years Artemis." He said before he took a deep breath. "It's time I face my demons."

I smiled at him before going to my human height and hugging him. 

"I'm so proud of you!" I whispered into his ear. 

"There is one condition though," Poseidon said dead serious.

"You two cannot reveal your relationship at all," Hera said looking at us sadly.

"What?" He demanded to squeeze my hand. Hestia came off of her throne up to her son and put a hand on his shoulder making him relax.

"Percy we cannot let you two reveal you're in a relationship in case it interferes with the prophecy and that will have consequences. We cannot afford to have anyone get hurt over this."

I looked over at Percy and saw he was upset just like I was, but understand what she is saying.

"Percy," I said getting his attention. "I know you don't like hiding things, but I kind of agree with them. The Fates are cruel and so many have been punched..."

"I don't anyone to get hurt. Especially you, my moon." He said caressing my cheek which I leaned into. "If you are okay with this, then I'm okay with this." I turned back to my family and nodded before I thought of something else. 

"Why did you ask Chiron to bring everyone?" The father looked at Percy who was smirking. 

Oh no.

"He will truly is apart of my family as far as I'm concerned." My father said.

"So you have brainwashed my finance so he's becoming the minor god of theater."

"No..." He said not looking me in the eyes so I turned and looked at Percy.

Percy's POV

Olympus

As soon as she turned to me I knew I was screwed.

"Babe-" 

"Tell me. Now." She said.

"I want a dramatic entrance!" I said defending me soon to be father-in-law. "Like I said earlier its been almost 17 years so why not make it big. I only get one chance at this." She huffed be saying anything.

"Okay fine. Since this is the only time you will be doing this." She said before pulling on my ear making me wince. "Right?" She growled.

Okay, I don't know what's up with Artemis, but she is so demanding and bossy.
