A Stormy Night

The wind howled loudly in the middle of December. Pale, white snow falls freely and covered the ground in white paint. All of the leaves succumbed to their cold as the tree was left bare in the freezing weather.

The snow was knee deep and Percy Jackson stumbled through the snow, cruising Khione is his brain. The stupid goddess who controlled snow. The snow is only making his task harder. Somehow, a deadly snow monster was set loose by some of the remaining giants after the war with Gaea. Guess what, they decided Percy is the best person for the job.

Not that he was complaining. Annabeth, his best friend said he should do it. It would take his mind off the war. But seriously, how does tracking a snow monster get his mind off the war he has no idea.

"Stupid Khione, do you just have to create the season winter?" Percy mumbled under his breath as he continued forward around the forest aimlessly. An icy blast of wind blew across his face and Percy wants nothing more than to slap the goddess in the face. Maybe with a fire stick and punch her to the next decade.

"Where would the monster be anyways?" Percy groaned as he continued walking forward in his dark blue sweat pants and sea-green sweater. It was a give from his mom and he wears it everywhere. Another jacket covered his sweater, providing him from freezing to death in the middle of the forest.

Suddenly, a roar was heard from the distance and Percy mumbled to himself. "Just kill the monster and I could get out of here."

Oh, he couldn't be more wrong.

...

Artemis walked elegantly around the snow, how steps soft, never once did her feet sink under the snow. She wore her silver hunting parka underneath her fur cloak that covered most of her body. Her hood was on as her hand clutched around the bow in her hand.

Her father, Zeus, decided that she would be the perfect person to track down a snow monster before a snowstorm arrive. Artemis is usually up for the job, but not in the middle of the forest cover in snow and an icy blast of wind blowing against her.

She wished that it's summer instead of winter, or even better, she could bring her hunters. She mumbled greek cruses under her breath when snow fell from a branch onto her hood, again!

"What's the point of being here, father?" Artemis asked as she looked up toward the sky with a slight glare, waiting for an answer. "Why can't I do this monster hunt during the summer?"

Thunder rumbled overhead and Artemis rolled her eyes before she continued marching forward. Suddenly, a roar was heard from a distance and her eyes light up as she ran forward lightly, a smile on her face. Finally, she thought. Finally find that monster!

Unfortunately for her, someone else was there as well, namely a male named Perseus Jackson. Someone how saved her from under the sky, without him, she would still be stuck there. Also someone how has saved Olympus twice from evil. Guess he was given this job as well.
