Hi guys. I came up with this idea while sat around in college so don,t expect it to be perfect but anyway if you have something to say about the story please say and i will try and take your opinions into account when writing unless it goes against the base story. Anyway on with the story.
Percy POV
Why is Aphrodite such a bitch? Making me love Annabeth and her love me back, only for her to take away Annabeth's fake feelings but could not take mine away fully because they were morphing into proper love and not one of the silly forms of love created by Aphrodite. As my internal rant ended for now the Empire State Building came into view. I was not in camp at this moment as I was trying to get away from the memories of Annabeth and I together and could not cope with the constant reminders of my cursed relationship that were everywhere round camp. Seeing the Empire State Building made me think of a way to get back at Aphrodite, pranking her palace. However I would need to get a God to help me make it any good or even an effective payback so Hermes or Apollo would be my main choice of pranking partner, although Athena may be open to helping as what Aphrodite did affected her daughter as well. Smirking evilly, I made my way to Olympus trying to come up with a prank that will be remembered for a long time, or at least until I am too old to care about finding love.
TIME SKIP (On Olympus)
I have to admit that Annabeth is doing a great job at redesigning Olympus, not that I really got any chance to admire the old version. What can I say, fighting a war or worrying if I am going to get blasted by Zeus made admiring the view pretty low down on my priority list. However now I was beginning to regret not taking a chance to take a look around. After a short time looking around I remembered my true reason for my visit so started to make my way towards the area where all the Olympian palaces are. As I made my way over I stumbled across a beautiful forest like clearing with a forlorn looking Artemis sat in the middle of the clearing. I was about to make my way past carefully so as not to disturb her but a crazy idea popped into my head, but hey when aren't my ideas crazy. Artemis from what I have heard from many sources hates Aphrodite the most out of anyone on Olympus. So I steeled my nerves and made my way over to request some help. When I was about 10 feet away Artemis's head lifted up and turned towards me. "Perseus? What are you doing here?" was the immediate question from her.
"I was on my way to prank Aphrodite to get her back for the transgressions she has made against me, want to join in?"
"What transgressions?" was the quick reply but I could see her eyes light up at the mere thought of the possible prank. I quickly explained how Annabeth's and my feelings were manipulated by Aphrodite and a couple of months into our relationship they stopped abruptly, returning to a feeling of sibling affection. Aphrodite had flashed down to see us and tell us what she had done so Annabeth and I are still on good terms but it still hurts to see her at the moment. Throughout the story I could feel Artemis's eyes studying me looking for any form of deceit from my story. Finding none she eventually agreed to join me in pranking Aphrodite. Remembering her forlorn state I took another risk, "If you don't mind me asking, why did you look so upset just now?"
She flared up in anger but relaxed a bit when she saw nothing but concern in my features. "You will probably think it is a silly fancy but due to my domain of childbirth I have always wanted to have children while my hunters mean I must keep my oath intact as they are only about due to it. If the hunters get disbanded they will probably be taken advantage of and that goes against my title as protector of maidens."
Without thinking I blurted "Couldn't you use your domain of childbirth to give a female that consents a baby that will be yours and her baby?"
"No." was the quick reply "Any baby needs male and female to come together unless I am allowed to use parthenogenesis by Hera but she has sworn on the Styx to never allow me to use that method"
"Oh" was my intelligent reply "So there goes the easy way round the problem. That means you need a way round your oath of maidenhood without braking it. What was the wording of it? There may be a way that does not break your oath."
Artemis thought about my reasoning but then said "How do I know you are not just trying to find a way round my oath so you can have your way with me?" while her eyes narrowed towards me dangerously. I shuddered. I was slightly pissed off that she would even suggest such a thing but then remembered that she is a man hating goddess and realised I was very lucky to have gotten this far with only one threat. To clear up my intentions I declared "I Perseus Jackson swear by the Styx that I wanted to help you with your problem and was not trying to have my way with you." Thunder rumbled in the background. Seeing as she could not dispute that I was trying to help her she said "Fine, after declaring I was swearing by the Styx the wording went: I will remain a maiden for all eternity and for as long as I am a maiden I will protect maidens by forming a hunt that will turn their backs on the company of men."
"So, being a maiden means you must keep your hymen intact. Am I right about that?" I pondered. I had a thought of a possible idea although I knew Artemis would not like it, in fact I'm not sure I like it myself as it will probably end up backfiring on me. "Yes." Was the reply I got while Artemis had a confused look on her face not knowing what I was trying to find out with my questions. "You can transform people into other animals, what about changing body parts? Would changing a male into a female change what they count as in sex? Would giving yourself a male reproductive organ for a short time change what you count as in sex? Basically would changing a male into a female and then impregnating them using a dick you gave yourself temporarily work and more importantly would it go against your oath?" As I asked these questions her eyes widened in shock as she understood what I was saying. "I truly do not know the answer to those questions but Athena might, let us visit her after doing what you originally came here for Perseus. Your revenge." She said with the first hint of a smile I had seen from her since we started to talk. "Yes, let's do that. We have LOTS to do." I replied with an evil smirk.
So, what do you think? Should i continue? How did I do for a first attempt?
