Hey. Lots of support over 300 views already.

This is going to be my priority over Child of the moon. Even though I've gotten more support on that.

. Even though I'm getting much more support on that one.

To the card in the last chapter was 'Dispel' when the fates were raging.

Percy. Harem/No Harem.

Rating may go up.

Thalia:

Three years. Three years to the day since Percy Jackson disappeared of the face of the planet. 2 years since Gaea rose but was put back to sleep. Three long years, no one but the new campers and Camp Jupiter were as jolly or happy as they were before the Second Titanomachy. No one.

Nico, poor boy, flat out abandoned both camps after the second Giant war. I've tried to contact him, but take a guess at my success rate.

Annabeth, fortunately recovered. She redesigned Olympus and with the help of Luke and the other demigods, got cabins and respect for all the minor gods. Its become a much more tolerable place for the hunters now, well ,not much but more tolerable. AND is dating my long lost brother Jason. I'm happy for the two and absolutely delighted to have my brother back.

Speaking of which, he's a Roman and was at Camp Jupiter for 13 years before we found him. I still haven kicked Hera's/Juno's arse (Don't care how you Americans spell it) for it.

Grover is never at camp, he returns now and then to deliver the a few demigods. He's still alivealive, nor is he a vegetable, so that's confirmation that Percy is alive, but he's changed a lot. Instead of the wooden cudgel he used to carry he carries a twin pair of kopises and wears armour. A Satyr Hoplite, there are always firsts.

Zoë, well she became quick to anger. Much quicker. She cut her self off and rarely talked, all ways keeping a stoic expression. In general the hunt became a more glum even more after Phoebe's death at the hands of Orion. Everyone hated to admit it, but we all had respect for Percy.

Luke, he was a different story completely. I'm surprised he's not dead, Hermes and Poseidon threatened war if Luke was to be killed. Poseidon vouched for Luke because Percy would have vouched. 6 months he spent by him self or training the new campers, unable to face people. Even though the majority had forgiven him. He was starting to get better then he vanished, much like Percy.

Later, we found he was sent to Camp Jupiter and made praetor. He and Annabeth went on a quest with 7 others in an attempt to stop Gaea from rising. He may have not been a hero before, but he was certainly a hero now.

In the end every one ended up happy and its been quite. Plus we got a new recruit; Piper McLean Daughter of Aphrodite, even better she's not a pompous, sadist like her siblings.

"Thalia!" Zoë barked, shaping her fingers in front of my face. I jumped and glared at her. "Good, thou has come back down to earth."

The others sniggered while they prepared to hunt while Artemis was at a council meeting.

"You have! Zoë, You have!" I sighed. "Were going to have to have another speaking lesson aren't we?"

"No, we shall no..."

"That's an order Zoë!" I sighed again.

"I do not have to..."

"Technically, I'm LT. Or else the fates throw a hissy fit. So yes you do." I said, smirking at her glare.

Laughter filled the air, courtesy of the others.

"Let's just get this hunt over with and you two can have your little 'bonding' session later." Piper said, putting emphasis on bonding.

"Its not like that!" We screamed in unison.

More laughter erupted, while we turned into tomatoes.


"So what is this new monster were hunting?" Asked Piper.

"No clue. But it crawls on all fours, has spines along its back and is one ugly bastard from the description." Replied Zoë. (MTG fans. You know what it is? Some thing to do with our lovely green mana hulk with an axe.) "Along with a few dragons."

"Fun." I said blandly as we stalked through the foliage of Yosemite, bows drawn.

We continued our trek through the verdant undergrowth. The smell of blood lingered in the air.

Soon the scent became overbearing and I felt my stomach churn. Light could be seen up a head.

Once we entered the clearing, we were met with a... unpleasant sight. A mutilated corpse of a grizzly bear, crimzon blood splatter the clearing, intestines in a pile 10 metres to the left, head severed. Flies and gags were the only audible sounds.

Zoë cautiously took the lead, approaching the carcass. I may be LT but she is the leader and not even I question that.

"What did this?" She mumbled under her breath and crouched down to examine it while the hunt formed circle around Zoë

Everyone was tense, the atmosphere was filled with suspense as all eyes but Zoë's analyzed the forest for movement. Stacey, a new hunter, sighed and slumped her shoulders, then Kristen, then Diane, then gradually the entire hunt let their guard down. What a mistake that was.

The mysterious beast charged out of the forest straight at Zoë. She only just managed to sidestep the beast while the rest of us rained silver on it. It was ugly alright, a hulking mass of blueish musclemuscle that stood 9 feet on all fours, dagger like teath on a longish face, bone spikes protruded from its back and its glowing yellow eyes were fixated on me.

Arrow after arrow I released, but it dodged most of them as it stalked over to use. Those that did strike home had little effect and did not hinder it. The monster burst forward with sudden speed and swiped a few of the older hunters aside and continued on towards me. A young hunter charged with their hunting knifes from behind in silence, only for it to turn and backhand her and continue towards me.

6 arrows lodged into its arm while it protected its face, again having little care for the injurys. The few of us left bombarded him with sliver, yet he walked through them, only protecting his head. I hesitated, thought about running, that's when it charged. With unnatural speed, ithe monster plowed past Zoë and Piper, knocking them over. It landed on top of me, gripped me by the hair and raised me to its hideous face.

I struggled, trying to stop the burning sensation in my scalp. The monster just glanced over me and bared his teeth, he opened his maw and brought me closer. Scarred was an under statement, if I lived this moment would give me nightmares for the rest of my life. "Thalia!" Screamed Zoë. Suddenly a bone rattling roar, caused every one to shiver and gazed in the direction it came from.

The monster threw me to the ground and ran off towards the roar, like a dog returning to its master. Silence, except for the flies that had no care for the commotion that just happened. Piper came over to me while I sat on my arse propping myself up, staring in the direction of the roar.

"Call Artemis." I whispered.

Artemis:

Council meetings, the most useless part of being an Olympian. Nothing ever happens, Zeus and Poseidon argue about everything. Apollo, when we're not arguing about who's old, which I am by the way, is all ways listening to his terrible interpretation of music. Hermes, checking his mail. Demeter, trying to convince people to cereal. Aphrodite, looking in a mirror. Etcetera.

The current argument was on weather Poseidon's new child should be killed. Even though there are about 12 of my fathers children at the greek camp currently. I was just staring into space when an IM appeared in front of me. In the mist I saw Zoë, hair plastered to her head, partially caked in blood. Glancing over to my father I saw him nod and took it some where private.

"What happened?" I asked once we were out of earshot.

"We found the mysterious monster, bu..."

"Good! Is it dead." She just shook her head and started telling me the story. It scared me how easily my hunters were defeated by a single monster. That larger roar, what could it have been?

"Is any one hurt?" I asked.

"Yes, but no fatal injury's happened."

I nodded. "I will come as soon as possible." And swiped my hand through the but

Everyone cast a glance at me while I entered a room. A normal god would have felt small under the gaze of 11 super powerful beings. "Father, my hunt had been attacked by that mysterious monster we have been ordered to hunt." His face remained a stoic expression.

"No one was killed, but the monster shrugged of arrow all the injuries it sustained as if it were nothing. I request to go to my hunt and help them since nothing is happening here except your bickering." He looked infuriated by the last comment but controlled his anger and nodded.

"Apollo, go with her." That was a shock and I felt my internal temperature rising.

"But!..."

"No, from the description you need all the help you can get and Apollo is the only male you will let near your hunt without castration or mutilation for being male, plus he is also the god of archery." He was right of course.

I steeled my nerves and nodded, then flashed to the hunt.

My girls sat on the ground, 50 metres away from the mutilated bear. 4 were out cold and the rest had bumps and bruises. The atmosphere was tense. The girls glared at Apollo but did not question him being here.

"My Lady. We have got 12 hunters that will be able to continue this hunt." Thalia said, coming up to me.

"Which way did the monster go." I asked as she pointed in a direction. "Gather the hunters, I'll flash the younger ones and injured to camp half blood."

After all the injured and young were safe, I was left with 12 hunters, including Thalia and Zoë. "Well little sis, I'll have to write a haiku of our valiant victory."

I just sighed and we set out on the hunt.


Half an hour, we trekked through the forest. I was starting to give up when we heard arguing. Well one person yelling.

"Seriously, Garruk!?" The mysterious voice yelled. Apollo raised his had to his lips and sneaked closer to the yelling. "One request. ONE! And you screw it up."

It sounded young, probably early twenties. Defiantly male.

"Your, 'prize' attacked me! You know me well enough to know what I would do!" Grunted a gruff voice back.

"It wasn't a 'prize', you know me well enough to know that." The younger male snarled.

The clearing came into view and what a sight to behold it was. A large black dragon about 40 feet long lay dead with an axe embedded in its skull. Why hadn't it vaporised? Off to the side were the two men were arguing. The shorter one stood about 6'1 and had a simple leather jacket on, along with combat boots and dark blue jeans. A hood covered his head and a wicked looking silver sword was strapped to his side. He had a strange red gauntlet on his left hand and fire and steam seemed to flow off him. He seemed to be well built and toned.

The other male how ever was giant, stood at 7'9 at least. Giant bulging muscles, bigger then Ares. He wore simple fur boots with metal knee caps and a purple tunic with pelts and a giant metal disk with white a horizontal zig zag pattern as a belt buckle. A leather strap went down from right to left with a mini buckler shield on his right shoulder and an auburn fur adorned his upper back and shoulders. He wore grieves much like his boots and a metal helmet with an exposed mouth. Tusked came about a foot of the bottom of the helmet either side his mouth and strange white tattoos covered his muscular body, much like the belt buckle. A shiver went down my spine at the aura I was telling from the two.

The mysterious monster lay by the giant man as if it were his master, we all raised our bows and aimed at them all while the smaller of the two ranted about silver linings and dragon eggs.

"Its not very nice you know to aim bows at strangers in a wood hunters." Said the smaller one. That shocked us a lot and we started looking around each other. "Yes you, 12 hunters and the twins of archery. Come out here, we won't bite." He said in a monotonous voice.

Slowly we emerged, the beast growled at us, but the giant of a man clonked him with the butt of the axe he'd dislodge from the dragon skull. The other man smirked at us from under his hood.

"Who are you, boy?" I sneered.

He opened his mouth to reply, but faultered. He then said some thing I did not expect.

"Oh, Kronos. SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

All of us did not hesitate to released our arrows aiming for the man in front.

I said I'd get into the MTG stuff this time, I lied. Sorry all who prefer child of the moon. I prefer this.

I got a poll going on weather Percy deserves a Harem. Your choice.

Bye. Live your life. Unlike I'm doing.
