Lunar's Plight

The True Guardian

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Percy Jackson, nor Heroes of Olympus, Rick Riordan does

Percy's POV:

"So, how do you feel?" Phoenix asked and I stared at him

"Like I have three other voices in my head" I deadpanned causing Phoenix and Hestia to laugh

'That's because you do' Delphi said

"That must suck" Hestia said and I shrugged

"Doesn't really matter" I say as I will my armor to disappear "All that matters is that I'm back, and this time, I don't plan on leaving any time soon" I say as Phoenix walks over to me and inspects me

"You look like you did when you were killed, around 18ish" he stated and I smirked

"We should be getting back to camp, they are probably freaking out" I said and Phoenix nodded before he smirked

"Probably" he admits as he puts his hand on my shoulder and flame travels us back to camp where I see Thalia and Zoe on the verge of a nervous breakdown

'By the way, I have been perfecting a new move to help in combat' Iota says and I smile at him internally

'Cool, you should show to me later' I say as Thalia and Zoe spot us and run over and attempt to slap me

I duck under Zoe's hit and block Thalia's. Sadly, Thalia's was electrified so it still shocked me.

"Ouch!" I complain as I notice Heather skip over to Phoenix before planting a kiss on his cheek causing the surrounding campers to go wide eyed

"Welcome back Phoenix, you too Perseus" Heather says happily and I raise an eyebrow

'What has her so happy?' I ask Phoenix telepathically

'Well, she normally finds things out before anyone else so maybe Hestia told her somehow' He responds as I see Rachel race over and my eyes widen

"PERCY!!!" She screeches and I race toward her but drop into a slide to avoid her

'What does she think she is doing!?' Iota complains and I vaguely hear Instinct explain everything to him

"Percy! Where have you been?" I hear Annabeth ask as I eye Rachel warily

"I was called up to Olympus for a meeting" I state as I see Rachel look at me with a face that says, 'I will hug you if it's the last thing I do' and I up my guard

"For four days?!" Luke asks and I notice his arm around Annabeth's shoulders

"Yeah, well, Phoenix had to talk to me, then we went out on a hunting trip for a bit, then took a quick detour before coming back here" I explain further as Connor and Travis run up and start distracting Rachel "Thank you guys"

"No problem Perce!" Connor says and I turn to Annabeth

"Listen Annabeth, as much as I would love explaining myself to you, there are a few things you should know" I say and she raises an eyebrow "First off, it's my life, you don't need to be snooping around in everything I do, Secondly, camp has been tasked with defending Olympus while the Olympians and guardians are out fighting Typhoon" I stated calmly while everyone else froze

"That's why Amber was irritated earlier, she is in charge of the hunters while Lady Artemis is out" Thalia and Zoe frowned

"No, as acting lieutenant I am in charge of the hunt, not Amber" Zoe said and Thalia looked back at Zoe as Bianca ran up
