AN: Sorry for the April fools. Just kidding I'm not. It was to let you know that I wasn't giving up and was going to return. So without further ado. On to the story.

He could hear the thunder and the hairs stood up on his arms. Thalia came bursting into his tent. "Look Thals I can expla-" he started before Thalia delivered an electrified slap that nearly dislocated his jaw. She then jumped on him and started crying in his chest. "18 years, I looked for you for 18 years. Do you know how it made me feel! Not knowing whether my brother in all but blood was okay. Countless nights where I would lie awake wondering where you were." She sobbed into his chest and hugged him even harder. "Look Thals, I'm sorry. I didn't want anything to do with the godly world so I left. I grew up, but I forgot about you and everyone else that didn't hurt me. I let one betrayal make me push everyone away. I shouldn't have done that, but you can't change the past. Plus, I'm here now so we can start making up for lost time." Thalia's sobs slowly got quieter and quieter. After a while, she finally said "I love you Perce. Please don't leave me again." Percy replied "I love you too Thalia, and I promise I won't leave like that again. Thalia hears a snore and realizes that Percy had fallen asleep. She gets up and gives him one more hug before leaving the tent.

The next morning Percy gets up at 4 am. He then uses his power to sense a nearby water source. He feels a lake about 300 yards from the medical bay. There a couple of hunters standing guard, but with his training, he manages to get by undetected with little difficulty. After a short jog, he reaches the lake and dives in after shedding his clothes. After washing up he slowly sinks to the bottom and decides to nap, still naked. A little while later he hears some splashing and opens his eyes. A horrified expression flashes across Percy's face. The hunters were bathing, and they were right over him. Not wanting to lose his manhood or his life, he uses his water powers to cover himself in mud so he is not seen. After staying painstakingly still for hours, the last of the Huntresses finally leave the lake. Percy waits for an extra 20 minutes before emerging from the water, just to be on the safe side. He puts his clothes on (luckily he had the foresight to hide them) and heads back to the hunters' camp.

On the way back to the camp he steps right into a bear trap. He forces the trap open with Riptide and examines his ankle which is definitely shattered. Percy opens up his canteen (he always has it on him because he wanted to be prepared if he wasn't able to get water) and heals his ankle before putting the water back in the canteen. He finishes walking back to the camp to talk with Thalia. However, as soon as he reached camp, Artemis walked up to him and stopped him. "Perseus," she said, Percy scowled at his full name but didn't interrupt, "you are needed on Olympus". Percy, confused, asked, "why do they want me". Artemis replied, "I have informed them that I have found you and they have decided to hold a meeting which you are required to attend". He nods, so Artemis puts her hand on his shoulder and they flash to Olympus where most of the gods are already gathered. "Percy, my boy" Poseidon booms shrinking to human height before hugging his son. A hug which Percy happily returns. "Dad," he greets. Poisson smiles "we have much to discuss, but that can wait until later. We have more important things to deal with".

Poseidon summons a chair for Percy before heading back to his throne. Moments later Zeus appears in a flash of lightning. "Let the meeting, begin!" He thunders. "We are here to discuss what to do with Perseus, all in favor of destroying him say Aye" "I will not let you harm my son" Poseidon yells. Apollo chimes in "no offense dad but I don't think we should kill him. I mean he did help save the world twice." Almost all of the Olympians nod in agreement. Seeing he is outnumbered, Zeus sighs, "Fine but we still have to do something to make sure he remains loyal". Poseidon growls "what are you trying to say, Zeus, you know what his fatal flaw is". Zeus waves his hand dismissively "that may be, but it still did not stop him from disappearing for almost 20 years". Zeus then looks to Artemis and appears to have a mental conversation. Percy notices this and watches as Artemis' face goes from horrified to angry. Zeus then says "I have come up with an idea, we shall vote on Perseus becoming the guardian of the hunt. He will have to swear loyalty to Artemis. This will ensure that he will not betray us and the hunt can always subdue him if he decides to go rogue. All in favor of this raise your hand."

Everyone but Apollo, Artemis, Hestia, and Hades vote in favor of it. "Since the vote is 10 to 4, Perseus is now officially the guardian of the hunt. You may now say your oath Perseus" Zeus says. Percy stands up and says, "I, Perseus Jackson, swear on the Styx to serve and protect Lady Artemis and the Hunt to the best of my abilities until I am either released from this oath or killed." Thunder rumbled solidifying the oath. "Meeting adjourned," Zeus said before flashing out along with the rest of the council except Poseidon, Artemis, Hestia, and Hades. Poseidon was the first to come up to Percy and puts a hand on his shoulder. "Remember son, Atlantis will always be open to you. Besides, this probably won't be too bad. It's better than Zeus trying to kill you, plus you will get to be around Thalia even more now." Percy hugs Poseidon "Yeah, I guess it won't be all bad, thanks dad". Poseidon smiles before flashing away. Hades then approaches him "I'm sorry you have to go through this Perseus. It is a punishment even I would not be cruel enough to wish on anyone," He said, "However, I am also here to thank you for my throne as I was never able to do so properly." "there's no need to thank me, it was nothing Lord Hades," Percy said. "Well, it meant a lot to me Perseus. And please, call me uncle" Hades replied. "As long as you call me Percy," he said. Hades smiled "It was a pleasure seeing you again Percy" "It was nice to see you too, uncle" Percy replied. Hades then disappeared in a burst of shadows. Suddenly Percy was tackled into a hug by a flaming 8-year-old goddess. "I'm glad you're back Percy," Hestia said. Percy hugged the 8-year-old Hestia back. "It's nice to see you also aunt Hestia" he replied. "I will keep this short because my niece is also waiting for you. You will always have a place by the hearth, remember that" she let's go of him and starts walking away. "Oh and Percy, please do visit sometime" Percy replied "I will aunt Hestia, that's a promise" She smiled and walked into the flames of the hearth, disappearing. Artemis then walked over to him "Lady Artemis" he said bowing. "Boy" she replied, "you know where we are at l, I expect you there by nightfall," she said before flashing away. Percy left the throne room and took the elevator to the lobby of the Empire State Building. He walked outside, "hmm, now how to get there?"

Review because of I'm ugly and worthless in real life and this is the only place I feel loved.

Also thank you so much for all the reviews, this one has about half the amount of reviews that my most popular story has but this one has less than 1/35 the number of views. If you have any ideas PM me or leave it in the reviews. I'm planning on having there be a third war but I'm not sure against who. I don't want to make it too cliche.
