A New Olympian

Chapter Six

"Is everything coming along as we expected?"

"Yes Lord, your plan is being executed perfectly."

"What of the girl?"

"She's almost there. She still has her doubts but once  she understands your power and what you can do for her, she'll turn.

"And the Godling?"

"......He found out about your presence. He and the moon goddess told the Olympian Council of the failed attack."

"......Good...... Now they know."

"Percy come eat!" Jackie yelled at the newly returned  Olympian. Percy walked over and quietly sat down. The girls could see that something was wrong with the God.

"What is it Percy?" Thalia asked with concern. Percy eyes were downcast but they could see he was thinking for himself.

"Something's wrong. I can feel it." Percy finally spoke. Thalia looked at her sisters, Percy has never acted like this before.

"Of course there's something wrong Seaweed Brain. Something is always wrong in our world." Thalia returned laughing. The tension didn't leave Percy though. Thalia's smile faded as she saw that Percy was serious.

"No Thalia. Annabeth is missing." Percy admitted. This came as a shock to the hunters. They knew of Percy's longtime girlfriend Annabeth Chase and what she had done for Olympus. She was a legend and remembered at one point she was going to join them. That was until Percy had saved her and their mistress from Atlas a couple years back.

"What do you mean missing?" Thalia said seriously. Her sister in all but blood was missing!

"I looked everywhere, Camp, Olympus, I even made a phone call to Terminus down at Camp Jupiter and she wasn't down there either." Thalia sat back in her chair and tried desperately to keep her tears at bay. "Somethings up Thalia. When I talked to Malcolm he said that Annabeth told him she was heading to Olympus. But I asked Athena and she said that Annabeth hadn't been there since the ceremony."

"We'll keep an eye out Percy." Atlanta interrupted the two cousins.

"Yeah we'll even go hunt her down if we have to!" Jackie all but yelled. Percy gave her a small smile in appreciation. Thalia couldn't help it but let a few tears leak out. Percy leaned over and put a hand on her shoulder.

"I will find her Thalia." Thalia couldn't help but be comforted by the fierceness in Percy's voice. And who could blame him, he has gone through so much with Annabeth. "Artemis." Percy said. Artemis looked up and couldn't help but see the look of seriousness in his eyes. "Training needs to be upped a notch. If we are about to go to war then I need to be as powerful as I can be." Artemis nodded her head in agreement. Percy would need to become more powerful because he will probably be the one to fight Moros.

"Go to war!?" The second lieutenant Phoebe yelled. Percy was going to respond but one look at Artemis told him she'll handle it.

"We believe that Moros the spirit of War and Doom is going to start a war against Olympus." Artemis answered. The hunters sat in silence, they had just been through two wars back to back. And now there was another one!

"My Lady. We don't have the numbers for another war." Phoebe said. Artemis pursed her lips.

"I know. That's why we're going to both camps and the mortal world to find more recruits." The hunters agreed with Artemis. They only had about ten girls and that definitely wasn't enough to defend against the spirit of doom.
