So here is my next update please leave a quick review to tell me what you thought :D

"ARTEMIS! What have you done with my son you snivelling-" Poseidon yelled at my mother but I was infuriated he that he was bold enough to consider me his son after he let my mother die and would have sat by and seen me killed without lifting a finger to help. My mother was looking at Poseidon with a little fear but did not back down even as I yelled 

"No! You don't have a demigod son anymore! Not after you left me and my mortal mother to die, on a beach! Inches from the ocean, and you did nothing!" The god of the seas was stunned into silence. Zeus stepped forward to speak and asked 

"Why is it you do not smell of the sea my child?" He was obviously pleased my father did something wrong as I knew they did not like each other very much. "I was blessed" I said simply which seemed to confuse him which I thought was normal as not many demigods are blessed by other gods any more.

 "By a god? But who, surely no god is powerful enough to cover your true scent child" the god said a little forced now and I could see it was hard for him to keep his temper. At that moment I didn't really know what to do and looked at the council and all of the gods and a goddess who had blessed me. 

They were smiling even more now as Hermes, Hephaestus, Apollo, Hestia who was by the hearth as she wasn't a council member Ares and finally Hades stepped out of a shadow. 

"Six, you have been blessed by six gods!" Zeus boomed and most demigods flinched but I just nodded and flashed a grateful smile at all of my adopted family members who were gods. - I turned back to Zeus and asked 

"Why does it matter?" his eyes darkened and he seemed to be muttering to himself about 'dangerous children'. Zoe stepped closer to me and pushed me behind her. I whined a little not needing my big sis to protect me but she just shot me a look that could kill and I stopped making noises. 

"One child cannot be allowed so much power. He will surely try to turn against us in these… complicated times. There have been rumours after al-" I cut him off 

"Yes Zeus I have heard of said prophecy and plan on fulfilling it but think before you talk next time, I would not betray half of my family. We are all related and loyalty is my fatal flaw. Why would I want to kill you? Think?" I asked him and he seemed to smile to himself at my bravery for a second before voicing it 

"I admire your ability to stand up for yourself child. But if you have certain… Abilities, you will need training. You will come here every summe-" and again the King of gods fell silent as a blur of silver flashed in front of him 

"He will not stay here without me!" growled my mum and I threw my head back in a silent groan which made some kids laugh. Including a big brutish girl from the Ares cabin who was chuckling. Zeus regained his confidence and stepped up to my mother just as Hestia flashed to Zeus putting a small delicate hand on his upper arm and whispering to him. 

"I know this is hard Artemis as you have become like a mother to him" he said and a pain in my heart throbbed as I thought about my biological mother. 

"No!" I said quietly, but they still heard and turning to me Hestia gave me a questioning look 

"She's not like a mother to me Zeus. Artemis is my mother and has been since my first birthday. My biological mother carried me for nine months and cared for me I'm sure, but she isn't my mother anymore Artemis is my mother" I growled the last part and my cheeks flushed red giving a heartfelt speech to all of camp and the Olympian council! 

"Fine whatever but you will stay here every summer and train to be the child of the… prophecy, and if you are you must swear loyalty to" Hestia tugged on his sleeve again being shorter than her brother he had to lean down so she could whisper to him. After a minute Zeus nodded and announced
