12This is yet another story of Percy joining the Hunt. I hope you like it.
Cancer… the thing that took his mother and left him alone in the world. Little Percy was crying alone in the woods, wishing for his mother to cradle him and dry his tears away. "Mom… momma…" Percy was crying until he fell asleep.
"Alright let's set up camp here and have a section go around and hunt any monsters around the perimeter." Artemis said as a group of her Hunters and wolves went around the perimeter of the camp. A little while after leaving she heard one of her wolves howling and followed the source of the howl.
What the Goddess of the Moon found shocked her, in front of her was a small boy, no order than four years old. The wolf's growls at the boy, who was frightened by seeing a group of wolves growling and advancing on him. "Stop" the wolves stopped growling and laid down as their Mistress approached the boy.
"Where are your parent's young one? Surly you are not here by yourself?" Artemis asked as little Percy cried and nodded his head. "Where are your mother and father?" The Goddess asked as she knelt down.
"My momma was sick and went to heaven and she told me my daddy died at sea." Little Percy said as Artemis heard his stomach growl. "Let's get you something to eat, shall we?" Artemis said as Percy smiled "thank you, I'm Percy by the way ma'am. Can I ask what your name is?" He asked as the wolves went back to camp "Artemis, Goddess of the Moon and Hunt."
-Hunters Camp-
The hunters of Artemis had finished setting up their camp when the section of hunters returned, without their maiden goddess. "Where is Lady Artemis?" One of the newest members asked "she said one of the wolves found something interesting and told us to keep doing our job as she went to see what it was." Phoebe asked as the owls cried out at the sight of an intruder.
The hunters got into the trees and bushes and pulled back their bowstrings when two pairs of feet appeared from the shadows. "Drop your bows ladies, I found a child who recently lost his mother." Artemis said as her hunters raised an eyebrow at the boy standing behind their Goddess.
"Percy, come out and meet your new family" Artemis said as the child slowly walked toward the group. The older hunters glared as the newer and younger ones came toward him. "Hi, I'm Percy Jackson" he said as the girls slowly shook his hand "it's a pleasure to meet you Percy, my name is Phoebe and the girl in the tiara is our lieutenant, Zoë." Phoebe told the young boy as he looked confused.
"What's a lieutenant?" Percy asked not knowing what the word meant. Artemis smiled as she knelt down and rubbed his head as she told him that Zoë was her right hand woman in charge. The group, along with as ordered by Artemis, Percy ate dinner; afterword's she told her hunters that she was going to see Zeus on Mt Olympus. "Zeus? Doesn't she mean God?" Percy asked the girls as most of them went to their tents and was left with Phoebe and Zoë smirked as Zoë said to him "ye Gods, thy boy hast much to learn of thy world."
This is the first chapter. I hope you guys enjoyed it.
