Light Birthed Through Pain

...What?

A/n Trying for a new chapter quick but by the time you read this, it may be too late...

Artemis POV

I can still sense Percy's aura from what I sense about him, no matter how faint, but he's not here. He's not on earth. Which could mean a few things: 1. My sensing is wrong(Which it NEVER is, by the way)and Perseus is dead. 2. Percy's going to die really soon. 3. Perseus is somewhere roaming the underworld like a madman. 4. I really doubt this one, but him being teleported to some kind of weird dimension, like besides this one. Reason I doubt it is because only someone at a primordial level could do that, and all of them are busy, unless. Did those dark primordial forces from before take him? AH! It makes more sense now. Perseus, That Nico kid, and my lieutenuit are in danger. Serious danger. What am I doing now? Just standing around, waiting for something to happen. But you know what, I'm tired of this!

I started to say,

"Hunters, I will be taking a lea-" until the horn honked.

This meant that we were being attacked.

"Phoebe, how many?"

I asked her as she was on the watchtower. She stuttered(guess new things can happen, even to millenia old gods like me!)and replied, "Um, like literally over 9000..." Ah shit. Well, guess I got myself busy. Although our huntress count has dramatically increased, we have stronger defenses, traps, more territory, we only have about 250 huntresses, and I can't take in anymore unless we can gain more territory to hunt. Currently 50 of those are on a mission gathering food... From the side the monsters are incoming?! Agh! I jump into the woods, just to see those food-gathering huntresses shooting their asses off, as I saw some wounded, and I was fearful if they were dead. I called 10 medics from within the camp to help heal the wounded huntresses. Because all of this passed so quickly, I was unable to think about how this many monsters could've gathered here! But thinking back, there are been increasing and increasingly large monster raids going on. I've even heard of some "big-shot" demigod groups being taken down by these massive monster hordes.

'What goes up, must go down' - Isaac Newton

Girl was he smart. Our demigod numbers were rising because of the unacurring attacks. We didn't think they were suspicious. We lived happily... For a bit. I grit my teeth. How could I have not thought about this sooner! Because of this, I have- THUNK! My long time huntress, Atlanta, wide eyed, was in front of me. The only difference is that the edge of an arrow was sticking out of her... heart! She fell to the ground as her cloak turned red. I ran to her, but before I was able to reach her, she was gone. The gods! If only I weren't have some stupid nostalgic moments, and maybe she wouldn't be dead saving me! I screamed in the air as I mustered all of the strength I had in the ichor flowing in my veins, and thousands of magical arrows appeared out of the air, piercing the enemy, destroying them on touch. The arrows... They were a cross between many elements, including greek ones, however I wasn't able to get a close look, even with my godly vision and speed as the entirety of the army in front of me was incinerated. Yet it wasn't over. I saw rising out of the ground... a couple dozen 8-headed Hydras(is this right plural?), some hellhounds, a couple of gorgons, the Nemean Lion, and... Gration?! Oh Styx, I'm going to MURDER HIM. But wait, those hellhounds, are... m-mutated?

Percy POV

...And before you leave, I must tell you something important, I will have it implanted in your mind as I tell it. The mysterious person told me.

It is a prophecy, one that you must follow...

To one must follow to the end of time,

The Demon's praise to the Pit's align,

Through hell and back, thy seat shall praise,

The sea will rise, pain end in raise,

To feast or feel, thy hero shall choose,

To strike the clock, those see the end will lose,

See fear in thyself, shall no hero prevail,

Light from the pain, shall the holder reveal.

As the being finished speaking, they started to disappear...

HEY, WAIT UP-...! I started to say... Think... whatever...

Then a huge blast rang the room as I got knocked back... Into...

"WHAT THE ACTUAL HADES-" I heard someone yell before everything went black.

Short chapter, blah blah blah. I posted 2. And even though a bonus might not be considered a chapter, cut me some undeserved slack. ;-;

Heya,
