Before Zeus was married to Hera. Before Poseidon was married to Amphitrite, a child was born.

Perseus, Percy for short, was the son of Poseidon and Hera, the firstborn god from two gods as parents. He was the god of many things, including but not limited to childhood and tides. Because of his power and non-linear affiliation with him, Zeus banished him to a secret island, one which nobody would ever find him. Then, he forced Perseus' father to marry the daughter of Oceanus, supposedly to keep the peace, as he himself married Perseus' mother Hera, who was unable to make a stand for herself due to her broken heart.

Centuries passed and only a few people remembered Perseus. In those centuries, Zeus had gone off to make other women pregnant, angering and saddening his wife Hera. At first, it was only with immortals, but after a few centuries, he began to lay with mortal women, making her even angrier. Not only had he forced her to marry him, but he had also gone and laid with many mortals, inferior beings.

One of the infidelity cases was the result of the twin archers, Artemis and Apollo. Both of them hated their stepmother Hera with passion, as she had made it so their mother had very difficult and painful childbirth. As they grew, Apollo began to be more smitten with the women, so much that he began to be with a woman almost every day.

As for Artemis, she received the domain of chastity and virginity, and as a result, was basically forbidden to lay with men. Such a misconception came to be that she hated men, that was simply not true. She just wasn't allowed to lay with them or think of them in a sexual way, but she could do anything else.

One day, she began to hunt in different islands in which she had yet to go. On one island, whose name is now forgotten in history, she found an unusual sight. The vegetation was scarce, just the basics to survive. The sun shone brightly, such a way that it burnt just being five minutes under it. The water was fierce, with the tides being as high as possible. In small words, it was just a horrible place.

She walked through the island, trying to see if she could find any animal to hunt, but instead, she saw a little cabin. It had its own garden, cattle, and even swimming pool (something Artemis hadn't seen and was intrigued by). As she went closer to the cabin, the smell of the sea hit her nostrils, making her even more curious about who or what was inside. Opening the door, she found a rather big house that took the place of the small cabin. It had modern furniture, a modern kitchen, white tiles, and blue walls. Photos of the sea adorned the house.

"It's bigger on the inside," a voice behind the goddess said, making her turn quickly to the origin of the voice. To her surprise, it was what seemed to be a teen around 16 with black hair and green eyes. He looked like her uncle Poseidon, but with regal features also. His posture made it evident that he had regal ichor running in him, making her question why he was in such an inhabitable place.

"Who are you?" Artemis asked with curiosity.

The guy looked at her strangely, measuring all of her. He had never seen such a beauty in his life; the only thing that resembled was his reflection on the water and everything inside his home.

"I'm Percy," the boy said after a while. "May I ask who you are?"

Artemis looked at him strangely. Surely everyone and everything knew who she was.

"My name is Artemis, goddess of the hunt, moon, chastity, virginity, childbirth, and nature, and one of the Olympians"

Percy interrupted before she could continue any further with her introduction. "Woah wait, you're one of the Olympians?! Like the ones who live on Olympus?"

Artemis was surprised by the boy's enthusiasm. "Yeah, I have my palace up there, although I never really spend my time there. Mostly I hunt with a group of maidens, but today I decided to come alone. How is it that you don't know this?"

Percy shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know much about the outside world. I've been here ever since I can remember, and there seems to be no way out, at least for me. I've tried to sail out of here, but I always end up here. The only way I know that the outside world exists is by the inside of my cabin."

"What do you mean?" Artemis asked

Percy stepped inside the cabin and walked towards the kitchen. Artemis stood at the entrance unsure if she was allowed to go in.

"Sorry, you can come in. Is there anything you would like to drink or eat?" Percy asked when he saw that Artemis hadn't entered.

"Some nectar would be great," she said instantly.

Percy grinned. "Well then you're in luck Lady Artemis, that's the only thing I have"

She looked weirdly at the newly found god as he served her some nectar.

"So Percy, how is it that you have all this technology? I don't think even Hephaestus has it" Artemis asked after taking a sip of her nectar.

He looked around and sighed "To be honest, most of my furniture changes ever once in a while. One morning it might look really yellow and then when I return in the evening it changed completely. As for the technology, well I just imagine what things on the outside world look like and conjure them."

"But that doesn't make any sense" Artemis interjected. "The mortal world isn't this advanced yet. They're still using metal shields instead of silk."

"I don't know either. Guess my imagination is running wild. But hey, at least it beats being bored all day," Artemis frowned at his comment.

"You don't have anything to do right?"

"Not really. There aren't many animals around here, there is nobody around here, and time passed way too slowly."

Artemis pecked up at at the last comment. "What do you mean time passes slowly here?"

"It's like a curse. Time here seems to never pass. I could literally play 7,000 rounds of Mario Kart and only a minute has passed."

Artemis didn't know what Mario Kart was, but this was no time to find out. She set her glass of nectar down and went outside. She noticed that the sun was in the exact same place that it was when she arrived on the island. Percy walked up to her and noticed her body language.

"Are you leaving?" He asked sadly.

Artemis turned around to see him looking to the ground. She stepped closer to him and put a hand on his shoulder, giving comfort to the god.

"I'm sorry, I have to," Percy looked up to her and simply nodded.

"Fine. At least let me walk you up to the dock."

"I can just flash out of here."

Percy shook his head, "I'm afraid that's not possible. I've tried multiple times, but the only way seems to be by the sea. At least that's the closest I've been to escape,"

Artemis studied Percy's face for any lies but noticed that there was none. She sighed and signaled Percy to lead the way. He took the hint and walked forward, grabbing Artemis' wrist in the process. She was about to shake it off, but then remembered that she was the only other being this god had ever met, and she didn't want to make a bad impression.

After about what seemed like fifteen minutes of walking (less than a minute in reality) they arrived at the docks. There was only one boat tied to the dock. The tides had become much calmer than when she arrived.

"Well, here it is," Percy said sadly

"I can't take this, it's your only boat" Percy put his hand up and waved it off

"Don't worry about it, I can just build another one. I have enough time to do it" he laughed. She looked at him with pity and lightly laughed at Percy's bad joke.

"Will you return?" He asked seriously.

Artemis looked at him in the eyes and nodded. "Of course I'll return."

Percy smiled, "before you go I want to give you something" he took a necklace he had on-off. It had a silver ring hanging off of it.

"I can't take this" Artemis said

"Please take it. Maybe you'll find my family in the outside world with this. And if you don't, well at least the best person in the world has it" he smiled.

Artemis looked at him in the eyes and turned around, exposing her neck. Percy put the necklace on Artemis and smiled.

"I think it's time to go," he said sadly

"Yeah" Artemis walked towards the boat, the sea the calmest she had ever seen.

She set sail towards the sea, waving her new friend goodbye as his figure became smaller and smaller until it was unrecognizable. She journeyed for several hours until she hit ashore. Wanting to just get to her palace, Artemis quickly flashed to Olympus.

As she was walking on the streets, the other gods and deities looked at her as if they were seeing a living ghost. She didn't pay mind to that, up until her brother yelled her name.

"Artemis?!" He ran towards her and hugged her. "Where have you been?!" He said as he pulled away.

"Hunting. What's the big deal? I was only gone for a couple of hours."

Apollo looked at her as if she was crazy. "Artemis, you've been gone for 200 years"
