Son of Rogue the Goddess of Assassins

Chapter 2

"So brother," Hope began as Percy sheathed his hidden blade, "how'd I do?"

"You did pretty good for your first time sis," Percy replied smiling, "now then let's....."

Percy stopped what he was saying and activated Eagle Vision. He looked around and saw a group of people enveloped in blue light.

"State your names and your business here!" Percy shouted before drawing his guns, "or I'll take some extra precautions and kill you now!"

The Hunters then walked out of the place they were hiding and Percy put his guns away before bowing in front of Artemis.

"Lady Artemis," Percy said, "I apologize for threatening you and your hunt."

"Wow you got the one thing that no deity could ever do," Hope said.

"And what's that?" Thalia asked.

"You got my brother to bow before a divine being," Hope replied grinning, "and here comes mom."

"Now, now my son you don't have to bow towards a goddess," Sally said as she walked into the building they were at, "and thank you for surrendering the target to me as a sacrifice, but you didn't really need to. The only thing t you have to do to stay on my good side is to visit every now and then and to give me some grandbabies soon."

"MOM!" Percy shouted clearly embarrassed.

"Now get up and talk to Artemis as if she was a person not a goddess," Sally said before turning to Artemis, "hello Artemis it's been a few years since I last saw you. How long was it again?"

"I'd say it was about 10 years or so," Artemis replied as she turned into her 30 year old form, "it's been quite some time Rogue. You never told me you had two kids, all you told me was that thanks to your Assassin Domain you can live in the mortal world and interfer with mortal's lives."

"The reason why I didn't tell you that I have kids, is because I didn't want Olympus to know of them at the time," Sally replied, "I wanted to wait until my daughter was at least 12 before she went to Olympus and Camp."

"I'm not going to the dam camp mom," Hope told her, "not until Annabith fades."

"How do you know of her?" Thalia asked the demigoddess.

"Because I told her about the bitch Thals," Percy replied removing his hood, "it's been a long time Thalia."

"Percy?" Thalia asked wide eyed, "Is that really you?"

"Yes," Percy replied smiling, "hello girls it's been awhile. How you all been?"

The girls all smiled and said their hellos and once they were done Percy turned to Artemis and said, "Thank you for standing up for me during the council meeting where they decided that I was a traitor and that I deserved to be banished from both camps never to return again."

"Also young lady, watch your language," Sally said in a stern motherly tone.

"Yes mom," Hope replied.

Artemis suddenly go an idea and looked at Rogue who seemed to know exactly what the idea was and nodded.

"Percy, how about you become Guardian of the Hunt?" Artemis asked him, "That way Zeus would think that this is oyur punishment for your "betrayal". Also I'll allow your sister to join as your helper, but if she wants to join the hunt then she can."

Percy looked at his sister and then back at Artemis and said, "Only if my mom can visit anytime she wants to. Also my sister must have at least your minor blessing, increasing her aim with a bow. Deal?"

"Deal," Artemis replied smiling.

Percy and the goddess then shook hands and Artemis turned to Hope and said, "I now give you my minor blessing Hope Blofis. With it, you are able to move more silently and you'll never miss any target with a bow."

Hope was then surrounded a by a faint silver glow.

"Thank you Artemis," Hope said with a smile.

"Your welcome Hope," Artemis replied before looking at her new Guardian, "now Percy, what do you want your name to be? I can imagine that you would like to stay hidden."

"Shay Patrick Cormac," Percy said pausing for dramatic effect, "is at your service M'Lady."
