"I have an idea," I said uncertainty.

James looked at me questioningly.

"Back in the second titan war, I sat on dad's throne to try and communicate with him. I need your help because it's really high up." I explained quickly before running towards the throne room.

A lot of the citizens of Olympus looked at us questioningly but we just ran past them all.

We barged in through the throne room doors and ran straight for our dad's throne.

"Give me a boost," I said to James.

He nodded and used his hands to make a sort of ladder.

I immediately leapt onto our dad's throne and closed my eyes.

"Dad please come to the throne room," I screamed mentally. "It's trap."

No response.

"Blue cookies, pizza, Oreo milkshake."

I tried again. I kicked the throne, I stood on it and even punched it, but there was no response.

"James, he isn't responding," I said, fear crawling its way into my throat. I jumped off our dad's throne and looked at Zeus' throne desperately.

We were both panicking. Where was your uncle when you needed him? I knew I was crazy, but I wasn't crazy enough to sit on his throne. The first time I sat on my dad's throne, he nearly vapourised me. Despite the fact that my uncle had started to warm up to me, I didn't want to push it. I knew how much of a spark plug he was. Don't tell him I said.

"You loose Perseus Jackson," a voice said behind us.

James and I turned to see Artemis. What? Why would she get involved in this?

She smirked as if we were prey. "Do you think it was a coincidence that my hunters were exactly where you docked?"

I gasped. Crap.

"Now I'll just turn the two of you into some animals, send my hunters after you and pretend as if I had no idea what happened."

I was panicking. There was no way I could escape her or even fight her. I didn't want to drag James into this. He didn't do anything wrong.

I took our Riptide, causing her to smirk at the challenge. The thing was I didn't plan on fighting.

I tossed Riptide at her feet. "I'm not fighting. Please just let my brother go. He did nothing wrong to deserve this. Do whatever you want with me. Just tell my mom I'm sorry and tell Annabeth I always loved her despite the fact that she wants to get rid of me for some reason."

The goddess looked at me suspiciously.

To prove my point, I sat down.

"No fight? That's a shame," someone said to my side.

I turned to see Ares striding over to his throne and picking up his sword.

I didn't really hope for anything from him. He probably just forgot to pick up his weapon after the last meeting.

"Spare the kid," Ares said. "Athena tried to twist me as well. Fortunately, she ain't Kronos. Unfortunately, she bought you onto her side. Mom warned me she would try this. I don't know what lies she fed you, but let me tell you this, what she fed me was absolute crap."

I stared in shock at Ares. Ares strode over to Zeus' throne and tapped it with his sword with an evil smirk directed at Artemis.

There was clap of thunder and flash of lightning. When my eyes cleared, I saw Zeus and Hera looking at us questioningly.

Ares smirked victoriously and quickly explained what was happening.

"What did she tell you about me?" I asked.

"That you stole my kids' kill. Bunch of other b.s that I know wasn't true. I don't care who steals my kids' kills. Either ways, I was watching the whole fight. I don't understand how someone can ask me to assassinate someone. Two peaceful people that too. I'm all about war and violence!" Ares exclaimed.

It was quite a lot to take in.

Zeus looked at Artemis in disappointment. "What did she tell you?" He asked.

Artemis gulped. "That he doesn't treat his mother well and that he's abusive towards Athena's daughter."

My anger flared. "To turn someone against me is one thing. Spreading lies about my character was something else." The mountain shook and lightning flashed around us.

"And to think that you were actually a smart person," I said to Artemis in hatred. "You of all people should know what kind of person I am. Your lieutinant is my cousin. She knows everything about my life. You know how desperate I was to save Annabeth when you were captured. And you all know I willingly fell into Tartarus just to stay with her."

My anger was no longer focused on Artemis. It was now all at Athena and her daughter.

I cooled myself down and stared at Artemis in absolute hatred. "I regret taking the sky for you. You're no better than any other filthy male."

With that, I willed myself to dissolve into water vapour.

I have no idea how I managed to do it. It was as if the instructions were engraved in somewhere deep in my consciousness.

I let myself flow with the wind and go towards where my father's power felt the strongest.

I arrived somewhere where the air felt extremely dry. I couldn't see anything because, well, I don't think water vapour has eyes. I had no idea how to solidify.

I tried to become solid, but it didn't work. I willed my molecules to become more compact, but it just caused me to become dense. I tried harder and focused all my energy on solidifying. Finally, after what felt like forever, I solidified, sprawled on the ground.

I immediately got up and assessed my surroundings, only to find myself somewhere near the grand canyon. There was no one in sight and I knew I would probably remain in the form of water vapour if I tried to do what ever I just did to transport myself out of there. There were trident marks on the ground, which meant that my dad had been there. I needed to go somewhere safe first.

I gave out a loud taxi cab whistle and waited for a few seconds.

As expected, there was the outline of my friend Blackjack flying in from gods know where.

He landed gracefully and trotted over to me.

'Yo boss!'

"How many times do I have to remind you not to call me boss?"

If horses could shrug, that's what I think Blackjack did.

"Can you get us to New York?" I asked.

'Nope. The hunter lady is after you.'

"Who? Artemis?"

'Yep. That's what the boys told me.'

I could go to camp Jupiter and get to know my sister and catch up with Frank, Hazel and Reyna.

"Can we go to camp Jupiter?" I asked Blackjack.

'Sure! I've heard a lot about some of those lady unicorns. There was this one time when-'

"Jeez Blackjack, I don't need to know about your love affairs," I said quickly before things got out of hand. There was this one time when Blackjack gave me love advise and Annabeth didn't talk to me for a whole day.

I hopped onto Blackjack and we took off into the sky.

Hopefully none of the gods realise I'm at camp Jupiter.

I needed to find a way to communicate with my father and make sure Athena didn't do anything to him. For now, Athena managed to outsmart me.

Hopefully my uncle transports James back to camp half-blood and warns Artemis not to attack him.

I really hoped Thalia was alright. I hadn't seen her with the other hunters in Canada either. What if she had rebelled when asked to attack me? What if Artemis did something to her? I needed answers.
