Artemis' POV:

I appeared in the throne room of Olympus and shot an arrow into the center causing a beam of light to shoot up into the center of the ceiling. In a matter of seconds the other gods appeared. Each of them flashed into their thrones as I took my own seat.

"Daughter, what is it?" Zeus asked and I looked up trying to keep my emotions in check

"I have made contact with the Bowman, and he says... that Percy Jackson is alive..." I said causing the throne room to go silent

"Artemis, please tell me you did not take him at his word... I know you're feeling for my son but even my brother knows he is dead, he speaks with Percy's spirit every day..." Poseidon said and I shook my head

"I know, but why else would he say something like that... he seems to know something... perhaps we should check if that really is Percy's spirit, and if it truly is ask him what's going on" I said

"I can do that Artemis, but don't let your emotions get the better of you, the enemy will use it to their advantage" Hades said and I nodded as I felt a tear roll down my face

"I won't let them use him against me." I said as I flashed back to my camp

When I arrived I found my huntresses all pointing their bows into the treeline. I followed their aim and saw the Bowman sitting there eating an apple.

"Ahh, Arty good to be here, thank you for such the warm welcome" He said sarcastically as he took another bite "I'd ask if you want a bite, but Im afraid Im already a taken man I'm sure you understand" He laughed as he jumped down

I clenched my fists as I marched up to him and got into his face, shifting into my eighteen year old form.

"I don't care what you say, if you are lying to me about Percy Jackson, I'll make you wish you were castrated" I threatened but the Bowman just laughed

"Why would I lie about my own boss? I'll let you in on a secret though. He HATES the gods. Every, Last, One of them" He said and I felt a pang enter my chest

"T-Thats not true, Percy's always respected the gods He's never hated us!" I said but he just shook his head

"Think whatever you want, the boss has made his views very clear, since you all made poor Hestia fade he'd never forgive the gods" He said with a sneer

I took a step back, Percy knew about Hestia's fading? Hestia faded after Percy died, stating the only person who embodied the spirit of hope was dead. There's no way that he could know. Unless he was alive. Percy did always respect Hestia more than everyone else.

"Come on, we have a while to walk to get to the boss' Headquarters" he said and he started walking "Come on girls, don't want to lag behind now do you?" He said and I saw the anger in my huntress' eyes ignite

"Calm down girls, just follow him, there's nothing we can do. If he says Percy can be found then we have to try" I said my voice quiet and I felt a hand on my back

"Milady, I doubt what he says is true, the Percy I knew would never hate the gods" Thalia said with a small smile

"But what he says makes sense... Percy always respected Hestia more than everyone else so if he heard that she faded due to us not having the spirit of hope then he would blame us..." I said as I started following the man

"Artemis, Percy would never think that! This man... he's lying just to get under your skin, I know your feelings towards Percy, everyone does, but you cant let this stupid male take advantage of them" Thalia said

"Yes, you're right" I said "He is just a stupid male"

"Feelings?" I heard the Bowman say "You have feelings for Percy Jackson?" He started to laugh "Well, this'll make an interesting report!" he laughed and I drew my dagger and held it to his throat

"You won't make that report" I said through clenched teeth

"Oh? Alright" He laughs as he grabs my dagger and removes it "Now let's get a move on alright?"

We kept walking until the moon rose. I looked up and shook my head before I ordered the girls to set up camp.

"Bowman, I need to take you to Olympus so the gods may speak with you" I said but he just shook his head

"Not happening, I also don't like the gods" He said before he looked at me "Also, at night, I have a rule, don't bother me"

He walks into the woods quietly. I growl and wait a few minutes before following him. I quietly find him talking to another hooded figure. I watched for a few minutes before he leaned down and kissed the figure.

I smirked as I drew an arrow and fired it at the second figure. However she just ducked low causing the arrow to hit her hood throwing it down.

"Shit!" A female voice ran out and I froze on the spot

"H-H-Hestia!?" I said quietly

"Let the winds from my soul blow forth and summon a cage to surround my prey!" The Bowman said as he drew back an arrow

"Let the inferno in my heart billow forth like a wildfire and aid the love of my life!" Hestia said after and fire surrounded the arrow along with the torrent of wind

The bowman then fired the arrow which landed directly in front of me. It then exploded and I found myself in a cage created by wind and fire. Hestia and the Bowman then walked up to me.

"Hest, I told you doing this was dangerous" The Bowman said as he lowered his hood and removed a mask

I stared in shock. Standing in front of me was the man that was supposed to be dead, and the goddess that had faded.

"P-Percy... " I said quietly

"Yeah, thats my name" He said with a sigh "but I'm afraid you can't speak of everything you learned here" He said as he put an arm around Hestia "because that would ruin the plan"

"W-What plan...?" I asked quietly

"You see, Hestia and I don't want to be involved with the divine anymore" He said and I looked at him in shock

"W-What do you mean?" I said

"I don't want to deal with the gods anymore, you all are so high and mighty, so fickle with your power plays, everything you do you do for yourself. It sickens me" Percy said "I bet you told the gods about my offer to show you to 'Percy Jackson', and they didn't hesitate on the offer" he said and I was shocked

"B-But..." I stammered

"Yeah, that's what I thought anyway, swear on the river styx that you never saw us and we can go on our way" He said calmly

"Artemis, it would be best to agree. We've lived happily for three years please don't take that from us" Hestia said and I heard my heart shatter

"You and Hestia?" I said quietly

"Yeah, is that an issue?" He scoffed and held Hestia close

"B-But, so how is your soul in the underworld?!" I asked

It made no sense how his soul is in the underworld but standing right next to me.

"I guess if you're going to swear not to mention this, I guess I'll just say it. I killed off a side of me" He shrugged "The weakest part of my soul was killed off, the side that held me back, you could call that side of me my fatal flaw" He said with a smirk

"But Percy, how did you do it?" I asked and he laughed

"Now why would I divulge a secret like that?" He said "Anyway, I need you to swear to never divulge this information in anyway shape or form" He continued as he drew an arrow and notched it before drawing it back before his mouth moved and a tempest appeared around his arrow

"Let the flames of my love assist my beloved and burn away his prey!" Hestia said as she wrapped her arms around Percy kissing his cheek "Come now little Artemis I don't want to see you be killed by my beloved"

I stared at him, I looked into his eyes and didn't see what I used to. There wasn't the happiness that lived in his eyes, instead I saw a look of anger and hatred while looking at me.

"Five seconds or I kill you" He said emotionlessly

"Artemis, please just do it" Hestia said and I sighed

"I swear on the river styx to never divulge this information in anyway shape or form" I said and he quickly raised his bow and fired into the sky

I watched the arrow fly high into the sky before exploding with a massive burst of fire and wind. I looked back at Percy to see him putting his mask and hood back up.

"Percy..." I said but he looked at me with a murderous glare

"If you must call me something call me Typhoon" He glared at me

"Like he said dearest Artemis, he hates the divine, I even made myself mortal for him, killed off my immortal half" Hestia said "Though in sacrificing ourselves we have gained eternal life!" she said happily

"Wait, you did the same thing Hestia? T-That's how you faded?!" I asked in shock

"That's right we killed ourselves so we could be together! Isn't it romantic!?" Hestia said

"That's enough my love" Percy, no, Typhoon said

This man isn't Percy, Percy was kind and forgiving. This man is Typhoon, cold hearted and hateful. I stood up and nodded.

"Understood Typhoon" I said coldly

"Good, I see we have reached an accord! Now let's put this behind us and go find 'Percy Jackson'" Typhoon laughed

"Okay..." I said as we walked back to camp with Hestia in tow
