The procrastination monster slumbers for now...

"Stop f**king doing the rolly poly," I yelled in mild frustration as Artemis rolled to avoid my wooden blade
"Ahh, is the God of Combat losing in one on one COMBAT," Artemis jabbed back
distancing herself, she smiled her lips, forming an evil smile.
Swinging with riptide in an upward arch to unbalance her, she moved slightly to the right to dodge my blade. Turning the edge of Riptide to swing to her left this time, she responded by throwing a dagger at me. My divine reflexes took control as I snatched the dagger out of the air it out of the air and threw it at her smiling. I said imating a maniacal James Bond Villian,
"Return to sender!"
Lunging out of the daggers trajectory, she stood her oh so kissable lips curving into a smirk.
"If you beat me, I'll give you a kiss, the question
is if you can catch me my little Destroyer," pretending to inspect the tip of her dumby dagger
giving her a pretend glare. "Your evil"
"Aww, such a meanie," she said, dramantical puffing her cheeks
she turned suddenly and took off into the forest, and I shook myself out of stupor for a second before chasing after her.
The thoughts of the recent events of the past week.
As it turned out, Artemis had a crush on me because of the whole Atlas incident, and well, she's adorable (and a little deplorable), so I had developed a little crush on her
After much teasing off my cousin Thaila, we left for Athens (New Athens to the gods) with Nico, Jason, Leo, Apollo, and Frank (Da boys [and Tomboy]) preceded to have a guy's pub crawl and rating of the best restaurants.
Hazel, Calypso, Piper, and Artemis had girls' night
which includes (from what Artemis told me) escaping Aphrodite, hunting, and shopping
(Artemis complained to me for like an hour).
For the rest of the week, we've been training my domains. we tackled the Tides and The Wild, which were easy, and we moved on to Combat.
Pulling myself from my thoughts, I stopped and
took a deep breath as I touched on the part of me that was wild. It was so easy for me to control because the Sea and the Wild were not so different. They both hated being restricted restrained. They both like to move freely they both had their own rules and principles.
If Percy had to describe it, he would say it felt of savagery and freedom of feral ruthless justice and fairty. He pushed off the tips of his toes, and he felt his Calfs thrum with energy before he took off. As he took off into the branches of the trees, going from limb to limb of the assortment of trees, percy pushed his awareness into the wilderness around him he could feel all of the living creatures under his command from the largest black bear to the smallest ant.
An odd sensation came from a clearing of trees just a few hundred meters to his left.
Percy continued to run around the forest he tapped into his most powerful domain, the domain of time the domain who he had won from his late paternal grandfather Kronos.
Percy kept his fiancée's position in the peripheral of his mind, so to speak as he felt around for the string or river as Percy liked to think of it, Artemis's river of time had no perceiveable end to it which made Percy happy though he dared not look at the end of anyone else's less he see something he didn't like.
As Percy focused, He imagined a Dam of his divine energy slowly building up as he cut off Artemis's connection to time.
Smiling, he quickly turned to her location as he reached her within a second.
Wrapping her up in a hug, he released his hold of time as he felt her unfreeze as her time rezoomed.
Stealing a kiss from her as she blinked and looked in shock before she slapped me across the head.
"Owe, not fair. I won," I said, acting offended (to be fair, her slaps did hurt) she looked at me amusement shining in her silvers eyes before she leaned into my ear, and I felt her hot breath on my ear before she began to speak slowly in my ear
"Cheater," and before I could react, she pushed me off the tree.
landing on my back, I saw Artemis take off,
"Not Fair!" I yelled before breaking into laughter as
I pushed myself up.
After I finished dusting myself off, I focused on The Wild as I slowly pushed my awareness from forest to forest, trying to find Artemis. However, I soon hit my cap until I felt a silvery Aura just a few miles to my east, I quickly flashed to the spot right outside, her detection range, and as I slowly crept through the forest I saw a small group of lesser cyclops talking, hiding myself in the foliage
"Big boss was killed by that weird silver lady, right?"
"Yeah, but bigger boss beat her said something like spending quality time with Granddaughter or somthin" a larger cyclops said.
running my head through the family tree for a second before coming to the conclusion that not a single grandfather in the Greek Pantheon gave two flying f**ks about their grandchildren. I quickly dispatched the two Cyclops. I cut the connection to time to every being here besides the two divine beings, ones at which I recognized as Artemis and another dipshit where's Waldo lookin mother fucker that was oddly familiar
which given my connections was never a good thing.
as I raced to the center of the camp, I saw two figures, one bound in chains and another guy, which turned out to Hyperion sitting, enjoying tea stopping in my tracts Hyperion's attention turned towards me a smile eerily similar to Apollo's on his face.
"Ah, you must be the lucky Godling betrothed to my lovely granddaughter!" he said
looking at him oddly, I made eye contact with Artemis, who seemed more annoyed than anything.
"Where are my manners? I'm Hyperion, son of Ouranos and Lord of Light."
Artemis looked at me and mimed,'It's Okay' nodding my head to show I understood. I looked Hyperion in the eye, and my mind flashed to the battle in the reservoir, and the battle with Tartarus
summoning my Hoplite armor and Riptide, I let my divine aura slip out just a little a trick that Artemis taught just yesterday.
"I'm Perseus, son of Poseidon, and the God of Time, and Heir to the Seas"
Hyperion clapped slowly his smile hadn't slipped off for a second.
"You know the mortal hero Perseus, your namesake, the only mortal to go toe to toe with me hated his name preferred the shorter version, Percy?" Hyperion acted like it was a big secret that was supposed to dislodge my confidence or something
Giving my own Godly Dushbag smile (Me and Apollo worked on it for hours in Athens) before I started speaking.
"You know I still prefer Percy, you know, as hoe life as an Oak tree?"
Hyperion's smile faltered for a second before he broke into an impossibly larger smile.
"Then, I'm glad such a powerful hero ascended, though I'm pretty sure my Uncle Tartarus was
crying himself to sleep at night, unable to torment you for that scar you gave him still has it, you know," he said chucklng after he mentioned Tartarus.
Artemis finally raised her voice
"You fought Tartarus as a Mortal?"
Turning to her, I gave my cocky smile. "Yep, and I broke his heart to"
She gave me a puzzled look before Hyperion interjected "Yes Young Perseus controlled the river water that flows through his heart against him" Artemis Looked at me like 'Me and You are going to have a talk you aren't going to like later'
Gulping, I rubbed the back, my neck cringing.
Hyperion gave a hearty chuckle before he gestured for me to take a seat. Complying, I pulled the chair out and sat down facing him
"Why do you have my Fiancée in chains?"
Hyperion cracked a wry grin before he answered
"Well, see Artemis here refuses to go to Mount Orthys to visit her loving family so I may have had to resort to this"
