Artemis.
Its been a month since Percy gave her contact, a month of no attacks either but Artemis sat around twiddling her thumbs not knowing weather he was dead, alive, or hurt.
She wished Ryker was still alive, she would give him anything to just check in on him, Artemis missed him so much she found herself sometimes sitting in his tent just staring at everything or even doing his chores.
At the current time that's what she was actually doing, the hunts laundry- admittedly halfheartedly, she wanted Percy back just so she could boss him around and listen to his stories and- "Milady, for like the sixth time" Artemis was knocked out of her own world as she turned to see her lieutenant. "Oh, Thalia, forgive me my mind was elsewhere. What is it?" Thalia giggled figuring where her mind was but none the less replied, "My brother, Piper, and Leo wish to have an audience with you." Artemis sighed and walked to her tent, seeing the described people waiting outside who bowed and followed her in.
"Lady Artemis, I'll start right off the bat," the Latino said. "I am the Keeper of fire." and from there he went into a long explanation about rescuing the daughter of Atlas, the mysterious man and being promoted to Keeper. Artemis thought a while analyzing everything he said. "It was said there was two creators, but....something happened to one of them, a war? or just vanished? no one really knows....but if what you say is true then that means there's a third party possibly for this war....He may not be completely against us as he allowed you to become Keeper, but that doesn't mean he is completely for us....he could be in it for himself. Do you remember this entity saying anything else?"
Leo thought for awhile, "He said something about his nephew but I was in such a haze kinda I don't really remember." It was silent for awhile before Artemis' half brother spoke up.
"Lady Artemis, I feel as I should explain mine and Pipers being here, our father put us here...I think he's getting ready for an assault on Chaos." Artemis scoffed unbelievably.
"We are no where close to being ready, and I don't like calling Perseus a weapon but he is our best shot and he isn't even here and on top of that-" an alarm went off in the goddess head, "Another attack, battle positions."
Scyther
*day before the attack on the hunt*
"Ey, lay off him Scyther!" Scyther had joined in the brawls that were happening in the sparring arena, people always challenged him because if they beat him they become Chaos' right hand man.
Scyther's hands were currently clutched around the lepel of a blood covered face son of Athena, He had challenged him with a knife and chain, and Scyther to prove superiority fought him with his bare hands and won.
Scyther chuckled, which they couldn't tell due to his mask but dropped his near death opponent and someone came in and dragged him away to the infirmary, after he was gone the right hand of the creator raised his arms challenging anyone else to the game. "Aye, mate, I'll challenge ya." a thick Australian accented man entered the arena, and a familiar face walked toward Scyther. "Previous promotion was nice but when I beat you Scyther I'll be living almost like Chaos em self."
Some people in the crowd laughed, "Hey man! Why don't you find someone else's mother beat up? You can run again just like last time" they laughed some more. The Australian son of Ares turned to the general direction of the voice, "Why don't you fuckin cowards face off against a man hating goddess and the son of the creator and see if you don't shit yer fuckin trousers." the audience still laughed but no words were yelled back in reply. "Lets go Scyther, after I beat you, mate, I'ma open that mask and see if you're really human underneath."
