   "What?! Why?" was the first thing I asked him.

   'I know you bear resentment towards most of them, but they will be the first casualties, should the horseman attack.' He said while I just paced around nervously.

   "They will kill me! Or worse throw me to Tartarus" I exclaimed.

   'And we can use that. They can't kill you but they don't know that. Just find a way to piss them off to a level that they will throw you to Tartarus' he said matter-of-factly.

   "And why on earth would I want to do that?" I asked. 'To meet me. I know a way through which you can find War' i just sighed.

   'You must go back there to test their loyalties to you. Those who support the decision to banish you are the ones you must be vary of.'  I nodded. 

   "So what do I do now? How exactly do I 'get captured'?" I heard him chuckle. That can't be a good sign. 

   'You must stumble across the biggest man-haters of your pantheon' he said and my eyes widened. No, he couldn't be so cruel.

   "The Hunters of Artemis! Isn't there some other way?" I pleaded.

   'Of course there is, but where the fun in that?' He said while I just grumbled.

   "You are gonna get it, when I meet you" I said to which he just laughed. I decided to leave now. "Okay then, I'll get going. I hope I return with all my...um... body parts"

   'Okay. Also remember, try not to reveal too much of your powers to them. I have already changed the memories of Camp Half-Blood. They don't remember exactly what happened. We don't want the Olympians to get spooked too much, now do we?" He said while I just smirked.

   'That being said...' he started 'Raise Hell'

   I grinned mischievously as I felt Lucifer's presence leave my mind. I closed my eyes and concentrated on the godly energy of Artemis and the hunters. I dissolved into white light and willed myself to reappear a few hundred meters away from the hunter's camp.

   I knew that the hunters would leave no traces of their trails. This would make them difficult to find for most people. I however, would find them quite easily if I wanted to.

   I knew the hardest part of this would be facing Thalia. My lightning blue-eyed cousin wasn't at camp during my 'betrayal'. So she isn't to be blamed. I wondered how she will react seeing me. 

   She would probably just slap me and call me some colourful names. That would be...fun.

   I spotted silver from a distance and before I knew it, I had three arrows flying towards me. My eyes widened and I instinctively brought out the Sword of Eden. Immediately, the arrows were cut in half and on the ground.

   I heard faint sound of footsteps coming. It was so quite, that a normal demigod wouldn't have been able to hear it. I just waited, my sword drawn out. Eventually I sensed the sound stop and I knew the hunters were in position to fire at me.

   "You know, the trees are a fall risk. Why don't you all come out. I'm not gonna attack" I said in a bored tone. I heard some chatter.

   "Drop down to the ground and beg for your life , boy" I heard a voice say. I rolled my eyes. I readied my sword and willed the water from a nearby lake to come towards me silently. I waited till the water was in position.
