The Spartan of Olympus

Past, Present, and Now

I was currently walking down the roads of Olympus in deep thought. I hoped never to see the face Heracles again I couldn't get the memories and images of what he has done out of my mind, I was brought out of my train of thoughts by a almost inaudible "Perseus!" "Huh, Apollo get out of my head!"I thought quietly "just come to my palace in about an hour okay." "whatever!"I replied sarcastically.

I'll just head over there now, I mean what is so important he calls me over there. His palace is only like two blocks away, I can run that. On my light jog a certain Hesperide entered my thoughts, I could still feel her lips on mine, even after all these years I could still see her image in my mind like I was looking straight at her.

Without even realising that I had made it this far I was already at Apollo's palace. I walked in the open door and headed to his living room. As soon as I walked in I seen something really unexpected, Apollo was trying to make a move on Hestia, wasn't she a maiden goddess. So far Apollo was leaning closer to Hestia and she looked confused, but also a little pissed. When Apollo was like an inch away Hestia flashed behind him and put a hand on his shoulder, the next thing I know Apollo was on the ground screaming like a little girl from the huge amount of pain he was experiencing. Being the totally awesome beast I am I tried not to laugh, ended up choking on my spit, stubbed my toe on a dresser and ended up right next to Apollo rolling on the floor laughing while Apollo was still screaming. Then hestia bent over and whispered something to Apollo. All I caught was

"-tell Perseus-try to do." Apollo got a scared look in his eyes and seemed to have a mind conversation with Hestia, she soon smiled triumphantly and walked out, but not before kicking Apollo in the head. "What was that about Apollo? Because I think you just tried to kiss Hestia and got your ass beat. You do know she's a maiden goddess right?"I asked Apollo seriously, me and Hestia had gotten pretty close, so I'd kill just about anybody who tried to make a move on her, including Apollo. "uhh yea Perce, just trying to make friends." "yeah whatever, but if you ever try anything like that again, I'll make sure you don't have anymore kids for a while." I threatened.

"Anyways what did you want to talk about?" I asked. "yeah I wanted to just hang out a while, but after that I think I'll make it up to you, first I still want to hang out, second I know of a way for you to see a certain Hesperide." Apollo said teasingly, "I don't know any Hesperide Apollo." I answered, but had the vague feeling I knew exactly who he was talking about. "oh she joined the hunters a while ago, Zoe ring any bells in that empty head." "What?! How!? I'll do anything!" was my retort. "Well its in the form of a mission, you just have to go under a code name, for a while until you can reveal yourself. She may or may not even remember you, don't want to spoil the surprise. Oh and she really, I mean really hates males." "What do I have to do Apollo." "Nothing really just go save two half bloods for Hades, then stay at camp for a while, then go on a quest with her then in about a day, you can reveal yourself to her."was his long answer, "That could take months of seeing her without her knowing who it is, that would be torture to me, then she may not even remember me, great...just great. When do I start?"I replied a little broken, but still happy."Right now."

(LINE BREAK)

I teleported to the school in Maine where Apollo gave me the address to. It was a big military school that looked like a castle, I was standing on the edge overlooking the ocean, but there was an odd feel in the air and I could hear distant voices. I started to follow them. I seen three young demigods, two girls, a boy, and a satyr. They seemed to be fighting the Manticore, but failing horribly. That is until the beast had a boy and a girl that I hadn't seen before now. Arrows came out from every direction laden in silver. The hunters had arrived. I walked into the clearing and all eyes turned on me, "I have come to help gather the demigods, master knew you couldn't do it alone, obviously he was right. Here give me the demigods!" he tossed the demigods to me at the same time an arrow was headed straight towards my neck, an open place in my armour.

I put the demigods on the ground and put my hand out. The arrow stopped right before touching my hand, I grabbed the arrow and lit my hand on fire as hot as it could go which was Greek fire. It dissolved within seconds, "That was rather rude wasn't it?" I said annoyed "Oh thank you sir as you can see I'm in a hostile situation so-" It started, but I interrupted it, "shut up." and with that I sent a medium sized fire tornado ramming into it. "well now that that's over with." I mumbled, I turned to be face to face with none other than Artemis herself. I bowed to her because I like to annoy her and spoke, "Lady Artemis." She put a sour look on her twelve year old face and said "Stand up Blake, you know that annoys me." " That's why I do it lady Artemis." I said slyly. "You should have seen Apollo today, he was- you know never mind." I said almost mentioning that incident with Apollo and Hestia. That would not be pretty, she would kill Apollo for even thinking about a maiden goddess that way.

"Continue what you were saying we all want to hear it demigod" None other than Zoë Nightshade herself said finally speaking up. She was almost exactly how I remembered her, Tall With a bit more muscle, Perfect Black hair and those volcanic eyes. She was truly beautiful, "I am not exactly a demigod, more like your fellow hunters, partially immortal." I answered coming out of my stupor, "So that doesn't explain what you were about to say to lady Artemis, Boy." She said boy like it was the worst thing in the world. "So say it, before we decide to kill you instead." I think his name was Jake, the one who fired an arrow at me earlier. "How do you plan on killing me?" I asked

"Like this," He replied arrogantly, and with that he charged me...
