Chapter 124

Percy's then realised something else, everything was in black and white. He looked up, everything was now bigger, or maybe Percy was shorter. His head felt heavy as if it had something on it weighing him down and he found himself on all fours.

"Am I-am I a deer?!" he asked, about out of his mouth just came, "ARGH!"

Artemis grinned, "yes you are. Or more specifically you are a Red Deer, or properly called a stag. "

"You transformed me into a fucking deer?!" Percy asked as he deer eyes widened in shock.

"Yup."

"Why?!"

"You were irritating me, that's what I do to people who bug me."

Percy couldn't believe it. He looked at his black hooves and then at her shouting"YOU'RE FUCKING CRAZY!" Percy cried out and the moment he did he knew it was a mistake.

"Really? I am?" Artemis said as a dark shadow covered her eyes. Suddenly Percy felt a cold wind bowing across his spine;

Ping!

Warning! Bloodlust from in front of you! Origin: Artemis! Fucking run!

Percy looked at that then at Artemis. She lifted her face and Percy swore her calm silver eyes had red in them, "ah...I'm sorry?"

Artemis didn't respond, she then vanished in a blur as reappeared in front of Percy bringing her blade down on him.

Percy tried moving away but with his new body being on all fours and not on twos he tripped and fell down. Lukcy Artemis's knife got caught in Percy's harns saving the boy from further harm.

"Stay still so I can kill you!"

"Hell no!" Percy then got up pushed Artemis away with his horns as he ran away from the angry goddess.

'Okay okay I need to think right now, I can freak out later,' Percy then let Gamer's mind take over as he analyzed the situation. He looked at himself, he was a deer okay that's obvious, but he still had his gaming abilities, due to the detect Bloodlust skill.

'Right now I need to focus on one thing, fighting back. If my guess is correct I still have most my powers so now I need to get my sword back.'

Percy then looked for Riptide only to find it near Artemis, 'of course it's over there I don't exactly have any pant for the sword to return to.' He then looked around and quickly spotted Artemis's fallen blade to the side, the one he blocked before.

He rushed to the blade and quickly grabbed the handle with his mouth and gripped it tightly as he spun around to face Artemis who was quickly catching up.

Once she saw him she raised an eyebrow, "really? You intend to fight me in that form using my own blade?"

Percy couldn't really speak with a blade in his mouth so he just nodded to which Artemis smirked, "well I will give you this you have the strongest will I have seen on a male in some time. Most would be to afraid of this new transformation to even move."

Percy growled as he readied himself to fight the goddess. She readied her blade and then two then jumped towards each other clashing their blades. Percy had to stretch his neck out really far but with his new form it was easy to do so.

The attack sent Percy back but the demigod didn't give up. He continued blocking Artemis's attack with the blade in his mouth as he slowly got pushed back towards the Big House.

Percy then channeled his water control and gathered the lake water sending blasts of water right at Artemis. The goddess of the hunt jumped all over the place avoiding his attacks and then quickly charged at the demigod swinging her knife so fast one could only see a sliver flash.

Percy got several cuts across his face but managed to block most of Artemis's strikes. He then drew back his face and then Artemis lunged forwards he smashed into her stomach pushing the goddess back.

The goddess quickly jumped back into the fight with a scowl on her face as she kicked Percy in his nose nose causing him to close his eyes in pain and just as Artemis was about to land a blow on his face an arrow knocked the knife out of her hand.

The goddess turned in fury at who shot the arrow and there standing shaking in his boots was Michael with his bow out, "ah...I come in peace?"

"A son of Apollo," Artemis narrowed her eyes, "just as annoying as your father."

Michael gulped, "I'm sorry my lady but I couldn't let you hurt him."

"And why is that."

"Because he save them," Michael replied as slowly out of the building every single camper came out. Leading them all was Annabeth and Clarisse, the former now healed with a giant arrow sized hole in her shirt.

"Micheal where is Percy?" Annabeth asked.

"Ah...there," Michael pointed to Percy's deer form which was slowly getting up, "she kind of turned him to a deer."

Everyone turned to Artemis and glared at the goddess. Clarisse spoke up in a low growl, "did you do that?"

Artemis looked at them all, their combined bloodlust wasn't enough to scare her, but she was impressed nonetheless. "And if I did?"

At her words all the demigods in camp moved out of the Big House and towards Percy guarding him with drawn swords and raised shields. Peter then spoke up, "then we are going to kick your ass."

Artemis smiled, "really? I am a god, an Olympian. You do realise if you fight with me you will die."

Annabeth shrugged as she held up her dagger, "been there done that."

Percy looked up at all his friend, no, his family and his heart was filled with happiness. They were willing to die for him. Percy got on his feet, or limbs in this case and walked in front of the group with Artemis's blade still between his teeth.

Artemis looked at this and then started Percy and the rest down. The demigods readied themselves and waited for the goddess to attack, only it never came. Artemis sighed, "you all are stubborn as you parents."

Percy smirked, "yeah we know." Is what he said but it came out as unrecognizable gibberish for the others but Artemis understood.

"I suggest you come with me Perseus," Artemis said as she slowly moved her knife causing the demigods to ready themselves for an attack, "relax I'm not going to hurt him," she comforted them as she slowly sheathed her knife, "there is no point now that the dead are back."

"So what are you going to do now?" Nina asked as she slowly lowered her blade.

"Well that all depends on Perseus," Artemis said as all eyes turned to the boy-deer, as all eyes turned to the deer. "Zeus wanted me to stop you from bringing back the dead, I failed. But since you're all alive right now he could order me to kill the dead to insure balance is maintained, something which I do not want to do. If you come with me right now Perseus I can assure you that no harm will come to your friends, if not….well I can't say for sure."

"That's bullshit!" Clarisse cried out.

"Yeah!" Conner shouted, "Our parents won't just do that! It's hard to imagine Athena signing off on Annabeth's death!"

"Those are the rules, and not just any rules, the Ancient rules," Artemis replied, "I swear this is the truth."

Percy looked at Artemis with narrowed eyes, "swear it on the Styx."
