Chapter 1: Eternal Punishment.

A new story I made. Inspired a bit by a fanfiction that I can't remember the name of. I won't spoil too much, let's just get into it. Pertemis.

Chapter 1: Eternal Punishment.

Percy growled as Kronos, Krios, and the other titans that he had defeated walked away from him. They had just delivered another session of torment on him.

For ten years he has been chained here, for a decade his torture has lasted, and he has steadily grown angrier.

However, his enemies didn't know that he has been getting stronger, thanks not only to the chains that held him which drain some of his power slowly but also to a surprising ally, Gaea the Titan of Earth granted him the last of her power before finally fading. It seems she agreed with his anger at what has happened to him.

He remembered that day very well. The day the Olympians showed exactly why they did not deserve to live and rule any longer.

FLASHBACK: 10 Years Ago, Ceremony of the Heroes of Olympus

Zeus stood tall and proud as the demigods, one of which was his daughter Thalia Grace, as they slowly moved into the throne room and bowed. Aside from Percy Jackson. He glared slightly but then shrugged at the Son of Poseidon, he has saved them twice now so he gained this respect of not having to bow to the gods.

However, now he hoped the boy would accept god hood as he has nothing else to ask for. Zeus knew this as else so planned on offering again.

He knew his daughter was immortal and decided to leave it at since she was under the watchful eye of Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt, Chastity, Childbirth, Maidenhood, and the Moon, Zeus' favourite daughter.

Poseidon cleared his throat to bring Zeus' attention back to the throne room. Zeus immediately coughed to cover his absent mindedness before speaking, "Heroes of Olympus, I welcome you back from the final battle and thank you for your fierceness, determination, and utter courage in fighting for this cause." Zeus beamed as the demigods before him smiled happily.

The other Olympians smiled as well except for Artemis who was neutral due to the fact there are males in the throne room. She did notice Thalia send her a brighter smile and smiled softly before her neutral expression returned. Thalia smirked at her leader and Goddess before facing back towards her father.

Zeus then took a serious expression before speaking again, "Heroes of Olympus, for your bravery and success I offer you a great reward!" He smirked slightly as the demigods had surprised looks on their faces except for Percy who had a small frown. He also notice the Son of Poseidon had a look of conflict on his face.

Zeus had a happy smirk on his face as he thought the great leader of the demigods was actually considering becoming a god. "To you seven I offer godhood and a place here in Olympus." He saw acceptance in all their eyes except for Percy who he noticed was still conflicted. However, when the boy began to speak he knew things were not gonna turn out how he wished.

"Zeus I know this is the third time you have offered me godhood, however, I must respectfully decline," Percy spoke clearly and confidently. "Please do not take this as an insult to you or any of the Olympians, all I wish to do is live in peace with the one I love."

Zeus heard every word but instead of accepting this he became angered before pulling his master bolt and striking his nephew. Percy's eyes widened as he was blasted back into a pillar. Before he could move thought, his own father pinned him down with his trident.

Shocked, Percy looked to his father who had a disappointed look. Zeus growled, "Perseus Jackson you have declined yet again, I offer godhood on three separate occasions yet you still refuse!"

Zeus then made a table appear before him and chains grab Percy. Percy looked to his friends and girlfriend for support but they just stand there. They all had their heads held down. Except for Thalia who was being forcefully restrained by Artemis, though he seemed to notice her compliance to this plan was reluctant.

Zeus then slammed down a chunk of ambrosia and a small bottle of nectar. "You will become a god one way or another, foolish nephew," Zeus exclaimed but before he could force the boy to consume both the ambrosia and nectar, a wave threw him back.

At first he though his brother had done so but realized it did come from his side. Zeus growled again before slamming his fist into Percy's face. "You dare attack me boy after what we offer." Zeus said before his eyes flared with lightning.

Before anything else could be said Percy found himself chained and bound. Then he heard something that would fuel his rage as time went on. "You and foolish dreams have shown disrespect to this council for the last time," Zeus shouted before punching Percy once again. "For your disrespect you will be forever bound in the pit of Tartarus to be tormented, healed, then repeat and due to Achilles curse you can not be killed."

Percy growled loudly and his anger was clear on his face. His power surged causing waves to form around him and the ground beneath them to shake uncontrollably. Poseidon was able to push back and remove the water with some difficulty as he could not stay standing. However, he was shocked as he could not stop the earth shaking.

Zeus saw this and quickly looked to his son Apollo. Apollo was scared somewhat by this measure of power over earthshaking, but when he saw his father's glare he gulped before sighing already knowing this would seriously bite them in the ass later. He still flashed to Perseus using his power to make the boy sleep.

Zeus then grabbed Perseus' bound form and teleported to Tartarus. He then unbound the boy and strung him up so the chains would hold his arms tightly. However, the chains were made out of a metal from deep within Tartarus that would always drain the boys power before he could use it. He didn't chain the boys legs because he knew the chains holding his arms would suffice. Then he flashed out leaving Percy to the mercy of the other residents of the Pit.

The torture began as Kronos appeared before Percy glaring at the unconscious form of his most hated enemy. That also began the ten year gathering of Perseus' power and the beginning of his plans to eliminate the gods.

Gaia saw this and began her own plotting to help the child that had defeated her.

Just a quick introduction to the story. Also don't forget that this story is Percy x Artemis.
