Guardian of the Hunt

Percy POV

So far the party has been pretty good. Artemis, the hunters and I sat at a table while everyone was dancing. To be honest, the Romans party house reminded me of an expensive club. Dionysus was at the bar handing out drinks while getting a bit tipsy himself. The stereo was cranked up to the max. Apparently Apollo had an event planned on the stage that was in front of us. Throom darkened and everyone stopped dancing. I looked at Artemis in confusion. She smiled at me and gestured toward the stage. Apollo stood out with a microphone in his hands. The romans and Greeks cheered when he walked on the stage.

"Demi-gods and gods. Today we are gonna have some major karaoke!" I chuckled as everyone cheered. I saw Annabeth in the crowd. She looked depressed. I shrugged. Apparently I missed something because Apollo called my name.

"Percy, get up here, me, you and your brother Triton are gonna start this off." I blushed and the campers and hunters
cheered. Thalia and Artemis pushed me up there. Apollo and my brother were grinning like madmen. They tossed me a microphone. The music began and I automatically knew what the song was. I chuckled and brought the Mic up to my lips.

Percy Apollo, Triton All: Fort Minor Remember the name

You ready? Let's go!
Yeah, for those of you that want to know what we're all about
It's like this y'all (c'mon!)

[Chorus:]

This is ten percent luck,
twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

Mike! - He doesn't need his name up in lights
He just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the mic
He feels so unlike everybody else, alone
In spite of the fact that some people still think that they
know him
But fuck em, he knows the code
It's not about the salary
It's all about reality and making some noise
Making the story - making sure his clique stays up
That means when he puts it down Tak's picking it up! Let's go!

Who the hell is he anyway? He never really talks much
Never concerned with status but still leaving them star struck
Humbled through
opportunities given despite the fact
That many misjudge him because he makes a living from writing raps
Put it together himself, now the picture connects
Never asking for someone's help, or to get some respect
He's only focused on what he wrote, his will is beyond reach
And now it all unfolds, the skill of an artist

This is twenty percent skill
Eighty percent beer
Be a hundred percent clear cause Ryu is ill
Who would've thought that he'd be the one to set the west in flames
And I heard him wreck it with The Crystal Method, "Name Of The Game"
Came back dropped Megadef, took em to church
I like bleach man, why you had the stupidest verse?

This dude is the truth, now everybody's giving him guest spots
His stock's through the roof I heard he's fuckin' with S. Dot!

[Chorus]

They call him Ryu, he's sick
And he's spitting fire
And mike got him out the dryer he's hot
Found him in Fort Minor with Tak
What a fuckin' nihilist porcupine
He's a prick, he's a cock
The type woman want to be with, and rappers hope he get shot
Eight years in the making, patiently waiting to blow
Now the record with Shinoda's taking over the globe
He's got a partner in crime, his shit is equally dope
You wont believe the kind of shit that comes out of this kid's throat
Tak! - He's not your everyday on the block
He knows how to work with what he's got
Making his way to the top
He often gets a comment on his name
People keep asking him was it given at birth
Or does it stand for an acronym?
No he's living proof, got
him rocking the booth
He'll get you buzzing quicker than a shot of vodka with juice
Him and his crew are known around as one of the best
Dedicated to what they do and give a hundred percent

Forget Mike - Nobody really knows how or why he works so hard
It seems like he's never got time Because he writes every note and he writes every line
And I've seen him at work
when that light goes on in his mind
It's like a design is written in his head every time
Before he even touches a key or speaks in a rhyme
And those motherfuckers he runs with,
The kids that he signed?
Ridiculous, without even trying,
How did he do it?

Thalia POV

Percy can sing! How come I don't know this? Those three got talent. As the song flowed I looked at mistress. Artemis
had a starry look in her eyes as Percy sung. Awww my lady got a crush! Perfect blackmail. I looked toward my sisters to see if they saw what I saw but they were concentrated on Percy. Can't beat them, might as well join them.

Artemis POV

I couldn't help but smile at my Percy. Wait my Percy? I groaned. Ever since he saved us, all I can do is think about him. All those women out there are looking at him with lust. I growled. He's mine. What's wrong with me!

Annabeth POV

I never knew that Percy could sing. I guess I wouldn't know
considering I left him. I still love him, I really do. But I can't get alone with him because of those hunters. How was I supposed to know he was gonna ask to die. I feel horrible. The way he looked at me earlier scared me. His eyes were emotionless, and cold. Percy I will get you back.

Percy POV

As we finished the song, all I could hear was girls screaming. I blushed heavily. I was about to step off the stage when I found my feet stuck to the stage. I turned around to Apollo and Triton and they were grinning at me devilishly.

"Why can't I move?" they
were laughing at me.

"The stage keeps the person who's wanted the most to sing by the crowd so you're gonna be stuck here awhile." I groaned as he turned back to the crowd." Listen up folks, since you all love good ole Perce, we are gonna have a drawing to see who sings with him" I groaned some more, if I knew this was gonna happen, I would've stay seated. I could see Artemis and my sister laughing. Apollo conjured up a piece of paper." Thalia Grace, step up on stage." I doubled over in laughter as Thalia blushed. She hopped on the stage and walked up to me. She whispered the song in my ear.
I grinned at her choice. We nodded to Apollo and he hopped of stage. The music began.

Percy Thalia Both. Soul Society: Kamelot

If my soul could revive
From my carnal remains
What does it matter to me
If it all fades to black
If I'm born once again
Then no one really is free

How could I be condemned For the things I have done
If my intentions were good
I guess I'll never know
Some things under the sun

Can never be understood
How can we believe in heaven
Human reason counters all
My tears are soul society
My life is just a fragment
Of the universe and more
There must be more than I can see
In the dark we're the same
In the concept of time
We're like a grain in the
sand
And we sprout from the flame
As if death was a rain
'Cause we can not understand
How I wish there was a heaven
All for one and one for all
A flawless soul society
Our lives are just a fragment
Of the universe and more
There may be more than we can see

How I could I be condemned
For the things that I've done
If my intentions were good
I guess I'll never know
Some things under the sun
Can never be understood
How can we believe in heaven
All for one and one for all
My tears are soul society
Our lives are just a fragment
Of the universe and more
And maybe more than we can see

Jason POV

Damn! Look at all the chicks drooling over Percy. I may have a girlfriend but I still can't help but be jealous. He's not gonna have problem when it comes to his social life. Selfish bastard with a lot of women. Are those guys looking at my sister? I cracked my knuckles. Time to die!

Leo POV

Man! How come he gets all the chicks? I got the charm and the devilishly handsome looks. This guy walks in and doesn't even try. He has to teach me how he does it!

Athena POV

I see how my daughter is
looking at the boy. I got to admit, he's quite handsome. He's handsome and got a voice. He won't take my daughter back. I know that and I also know she doesn't deserve him. She doesn't deserve that reckless, cute , stupid, irritating, heroic boy. I can tell he has my sisters attention. She better go after him or I will, Oath or not.

Percy POV

I cleared my throat once we finished the song. Thalia gave me a hug and ran to our table. Artemis and my sisters were clapping and screaming. I smiled. The crowd was wild. I'm not that good am I? Apollo conjured up another note."
Jason Grace, and Nico Di Angelo." The crowd got louder and Zeus, Dad and Hades were fist pumping in the back. I held back a chuckled and I could tell that Nico and Jason barely could contain their laughter. We got into a huddle and picked our song.

Percy, Jason, Nico, ALL. I came to play.

Run away if you see me
Don't even say my name
Don't think that you can know me
Don't try and play that game Every day that i get better
I watch as you get worse
My script is too the letter
And I'll write your final verse

I am here to stay (Well im here to stay)
And i have come to play

I came to play
There a price to pay
Time for you to get down on your knees and pray
I came to pay
Say goodbye to the good old days
Their never coming back
Watch your future fade
I came to play
I came to play to get my dues paid
I guess you had a dream
But it cant be saved
I came to play

I'm here to stay
Best get out of my way

I have come to play

I go inside this light
I see new life unfold
Each second I burn brighter Your fire is going cold
You could try to beg for mercy
Go ahead and try to run
No escape and no redemption
Understand the ends begun
I am here to stay (Well im here to stay)
And i have come to play

I came to play
There a price to pay
Time for you to get down on your knees and pray
I came to pay
Say goodbye to the good
old days
Their never coming back
Watch your future fade
I came to play
I came to play to get my dues paid
I guess you had a dream

But it cant be safe
I came to play
I'm here to stay
Best get out of my way (outta my way)

See all these lights their glowing
Hear all these people cheer
Feel all the love thats flowing
All just because I'm here
Get up and on your feet (get up)
Get your hands up in the air (get your hands up)
What you know about taking me down (yea)

I
Came
To
Play
I came to play
There a price to pay
Time for you to get down on your knees and pray
I came to pay
Say goodbye to the good old days
Their never coming back
Watch your future fade
I came to play
I came to play to get my dues paid
I guess you had a dream
But it cant be safe
I came to play
I'm here to stay Best get out of my way
(outta my way)

Poseidon POV

"My son's beast! And a real ladies man. That's my boy!

Zeus POV

Yeah Jason, show how the big three work.

Hades POV

This goes to show you that we have the best kids, take that Athena!

Percy POV

I gave Nico and Jason a good pat on the back. I turned to Apollo before he called out the name on the paper." This is my last song for now. I need to get a drink after this okay." He nodded. He looked at the paper and burst out laughing.

"Little Sister, come on to the stage." I hear cheering come from the hunters. Artemis was as red as a tomato and knew I was too. She walked on stage. We came up quickly with a song.

Percy, Artemis Both. The haunting by Kamelot

Maybe the sound of your voice
Made me believe that that you were her
Just like the river disturbs
My inner peace
Once I believed I could find
Just a trace of her beloved soul
Once I believed she was all
Then she smothered my beliefs
One cold winter's night
I may follow her voice to
the river
Leave me for now and forever
Leave what you can

Somewhere in time I will find you and haunt you again
Like the wind sweeps the earth
Somewhere in time when no virtues are left to defend
You've fallen deep
I was a liar in every debate
I drew the forces that fueled your hate
When the cold in my heart
leaves it comes to an end
Quietly now go to sleep
How could that first time recur
When memories linger on and on
What made me think you were her
Helena is dead to all dead to all
Nothing can bring her to life
Don't pretend that I've been loving you
Once I believed she was gone I corrupted from within

Leave leave me for now and forever
Leave what you can

Somewhere in time I will find you and haunt you again
Like the wind sweeps the earth
Somewhere in time when no virtues are left to defend
You've fallen deep

I was a liar in every debate
I drew the forces that fueled your hate
When the cold in my heart
leaves it comes to an end
Quietly now go to sleep
Follow me into the light
Dance on a lake of tears
I'll take you through
Or leave me tonight
I've gone too far to begin all anew
With someone like you

Somewhere in time I will find you and love you again
Like the wind sweeps the earth
Somewhere in time when
no virtues are left to
defend
You've fallen deep
I was a liar in every debate
I drew the forces that fueled your hate
When the cold in my heart leaves it comes to an end
Quietly I'll go to sleep

Percy POV

That I swear was the best time I've ever sung in my life. Being with Artemis made it even better. She was practically glowing with happiness. My hunters were whistling and the crowd was cheering. Artemis hugged me. She laid her head on my chest
in the hug. I was smiling like a goofball.

"Thank you." She said. She and the hunters finally dragged me off stage and into the bar area. We sat down at the front. Dionysus came up.

"What would you like Peter Johnson." Since it was my first time I might as well hit myself with something hard.

"Get me some gin, Dionysus level." His eyes practically bugged out of his head and the hunters were looking at me like it was crazy. Everyone for some reason went to the bar to watch us. He brought me my Gin and the hunters their drinks. Artemis got a martini. Everyone was
watching me. I took the Gin and downed it. It tasted different is all I can say.

"Not bad." Everyone looked stupefied.

"You drunk Dionysus level Gin and you're not even slightly tipsy. This is your first time too!" I shrugged and Artemis giggled. Thalia said something that I'm gonna get her back for.

"You two should so have a shot contest." She said pointing towards me and Dionysus. Dionysus laughed while Artemis nodded in agreement. Why have you signed my death warrant!

"Peter Johnson here wouldn't
last fifteen shots with me." Now that made me mad.

"Let's go then!" I said slamming the table. The room grew quite. Dionysus conjured up 70 or so shots of vodka on each side of the table. I went to one side while he went to the other. My dad and the hunters were cheering me on. I gotta win this. We both took our first shot. Not bad. After the fortieth shot, I was starting to get a bit tipsy. The hundred and tenth one, I was wondering how I was alive while Dionysus was a bit tipsy. By the two hundredth shot, me and Dionysus looked absolutely horrible. One of us wasn't gonna make it after this last shot. The room was quite with the tension. My eyesight was blurry I picked up the glass and downed it. Dionysus picked up his glass and began to drink. He got halfway and dropped the cup. He passed out on the floor with a thud. I grinned. The crowd cheered and I joined Dionysus on the floor. Everything went black but the last thing I heard was nice job Percy! And Artemis smooth voice telling me she was gonna move me to the couch.
