Percy Jackson - Forgiving, not Forgetting

More Questions and Less Answers

The meeting was dull. Screaming, yelling, even the occasional tear. All the Cabin Councillors were present, including Artemis and Chiron. The only thing that Perseus was thinking about was the fact that he was supposed to receive a message from either Chaos or a planet in need of help. That same message was late, it was unsettling.

The only ones not yelling was Thalia, Artemis, and Percy. Chiron was trying to stop the fighting, Thalia was smirking, and Artemis kept sharpening her hunting knifes. Glances of uncertainty were thrown at me, but I took no mind of them.

Chiron gave me a pleading look, still unsuccessfully calming them down. I held in a smirk at how childish they all look.

Just when a new round of screaming began, I cleared my throat. All noise died down instantly. I never knew I held that effect on people.

I stood up as everyone else sat in their respective sits. "Can we talk about this in a civilized matter?" I ask, emotionless. I saw many flinch too.

Clarisse was the first to raise her hand. I raised an eyebrow, which she took for an invitation. "You used to suck at shooting with a bow, why are you good now?" She asked.

I looked at Artemis and smiled when I saw her trying to keep the laughter in. Seconds later she burst out laughing. I shook my head at her laughter, it was adorable. I looked back at Clarrise to see her looking confused and embarrassed.

"It took along time, that is all I will say." I chuckle. Another camper, Will from Apollo, raises his hand.

"How were you able to summon the bow?" He asked quietly.

I was about to answer, when my watch beeped, signalling a new mission. I quickly detached the Visia, which was like a clear piece of glass. It functioned as a phone but more advanced. When I saw the mission, however, I groaned. Another meeting in Emberna Sirus. Someone was trying to start a war.

"What is it this time?" Artemis asked. I chucked her the Visia. She quietly read through it and laughed. "You never get a break do you?" She smiled at me mischievously.

"I hate you right now." I pouted.

"Well go on. You can't ignore the mission or she will get angry. And you know what shes like when she's angry." I glared at her because she was still laughing at my torture.

"I'm sorry," Chiron interrupted. "what are you talking about?" 

I looked at Artemis as she handed back my Visia. I shrunk it and clicked it back on my watch. "Good luck!"  I say in our language. "Oh, you can tell Chiron as long as he keeps it a secret." 

Before Artemis could say anything more, another Visia from another person expands in front of me. King James VII appeared on the screen.

"Yes?" I ask.

"My prince, we were wondering when you would arrive. We have been waiting for a while now." I could see a few girls swoon from his accent. Others were confused, probably the whole 'prince' thing.

"I was coming, I only got the message a little while ago. I was in the middle of something." I told him formally. "I will arrive soon, King James."

"Until then, my prince." The visia shut off and disappeared quickly. I turned towards Artemis.

"I don't know how long this will take. It could either be a small check up on the other places in Emberna Sirus or it could end up with me trying to stop another war. You know how prideful these people are." 

Artemis looked disappointed for a minute. "Well, you can always get to me if you need help. I will stay here until you come back."

I was a little hesitant to leave, especially to another Universe. She would be all alone. Well, not all alone, but I wasn't here to protect her. She could get hurt, or another attack could happen and I won't be here to protect the Hunters.

Artemis must have seen my internal battle because she turned my head towards her. "My Guardian, I will be fine. I will leave my thoughts unguarded so you can see them anytime you want. I promise to call if anything happens." She reassured me.

I relax slightly, glad she would trust me to be able to read her thoughts. "Thank you, my Moonshine." I kissed her forehead gently and stepped back. Before the campers could ask any questions, I flashed away from them and into the chaos. Lady Chaos, Artemis, and I were the only ones able to go through it without losing our soul and deteriorating. But that didn't mean it felt good.

I felt myself be torn apart and brought back together, before the city of Enisle appeared. The main city of Emberna Sirus' #1 planet, Chacerk.
