Artemis walked to her tent and spun around.
"Seriously?!"
"What?" Percy asked.
"You and Athena! I mean, really!" Artemis said obviously mad.
"We're just-"
"Just friends?!" Artemis yelled.
"Ummm..." Percy scratched the back of his neck.
"Why?" Artemis yelled.
"I didn't think I'd offend you. You're a man hater," Percy said.
Artemis sighed and sat down on her bed.
"I told you that plenty of the female Olympians like you, I never said that I wasn't included in that list," Artemis whispered.
"Oh," was all Percy could say. Artemis sighed again and stood up,"It's time for bed."
Percy nodded and walked to his tent.
"Hey."
Percy jumped,"Who-"
He was interrupted by Athena placing her lips on his.
"Me," Athena whispered when she pulled away. Percy smiled,"Is it possible that I missed you?" Athena smiled.
"Yes, Kelp Head."
"I hate it when you call me that," Percy said. Athena laughed quietly,"Okay, so?"
"Please stop?" Athena laughed again,"Then what else can I call you?"
"Ummmmm, Percy?"
"A nickname," Athena said.
"Percy is my nickname," Percy said.
Athena sighed,"True."
Percy smiled evilly at Athena. Her smile disappeared. Percy grabbed Athena's waist and pulled her closer to him.
"What are you doing?" Athena asked, the fear very obvious in her voice and eyes.
"You'll see," Percy whispered in her ear. Athena giggled. Percy kissed her cheek and started kissing down her neck.
"Percy, Artemis is coming," Athena whispered. Percy sighed and let go of Athena. She shook her head and grabbed Percy's hand. They sat down on Percy's bed.
"Percy?" Artemis asked.
"In here," Percy said.
Artemis opened the tent's "door" and sighed softly,"I wanted to apologize for my behavior earlier." Percy nodded,"It's okay." Artemis nodded and left.

"What did she apologize for?" Athena asked.
"Her behavior earlier," Percy said.
"No, duh," Athena rolled her eyes,"What was her behavior?"
"Not important," Percy murmured,"Now, where were we? Before we were interrupted, I mean."
"Hmm, you were making me happy like you always do," Athena said.
"How was I making you happy?" Percy asked as he brushed his fingers up Athena's arm.
Athena shivered,"Umm, you were..."
"Hmm?" Percy asked and traced Athena's lips.
"I see," Percy said with a playful look in his eyes,"I make you forget." Athena shivered again.
"You cold?" Percy asked. Athena shook her head,"No." Percy nodded and picked up a blanket from his bed and placed it across her shoulders.
"I should probably go," Athena said as she stood up.
"Awww, you can't stand my beauty," Percy said. Athena laughed,"It's late. You should get some sleep..."
"Okay, but you'll come back tomorrow?"
"Yes," Athena said and rolled her eyes.
"Yes!" Percy started jumping up and down.
"Get some sleep," Athena said.
"Okay." Athena nodded and walked out after setting the blanket back on the bed.
"You and Jackson, huh?" Apollo asked as soon as Athena was on Olympus.
"You and my daughter, huh?" Athena snapped.
"Sheesh. Although I am so amazing, I don't see how she resisted for so long," Apollo said.
"What? You know what, never mind." Athena started walking away. Apollo pushed himself off of the wall and followed her.
"Is there going to be another 'mini you' running around anytime soon?" Athena asked.
"Not that I know of, and I'm kinda in charge of the oracles so... I would know," Apollo said.

"So, you broke Percy Jackson's heart just to run away?" Athena asked spinning around to stop. Apollo bumped into her. She started to fall backwards, but Apollo caught her by her waist.
"Oh, come on," Apollo complained while lowering his grasp on Athena.
"Let go of me!" Athena yelled. Apollo ignored her and lightly stroked her face.
"Now, now..."
"Let go of me," Athena said in between her teeth. She had a decent scream and was preparing to use it when Apollo was ripped away from her.
"Who are you?" Apollo asked obviously offended the he was stopped.
"It doesn't matter. Athena is a goddess, not a toy or a object. She has no right to be treated like that," the man said. Athena thought she recognized the voice, but his face was hidden by Apollo's shadow. Apollo nodded and ran off.
Athena gasped,"Percy?" Percy nodded.
"How did-"
"Shhh," he put his pointer finger to her lips,"Let's just get you to your temple." Athena nodded still too stunned to move. Percy put his hands on her shoulders and gently pushed her forward.
When they were in her temple Percy started asking her question after question, but Athena was still too shocked about what her half-brother was about to do to her.
"Athena. Athena? Athena, are you okay? Athena answer me!" Percy started shaking her shoulders softly.
"Yes. Yes, I'm okay," Athena said,"I'm just... tired." Percy nodded and walked her to her room.
"I'll be in the living room if you need me," Percy said. Athena nodded and Percy walked out.

The Humble Life of a Skill Trainer
For Joshua Still, Skills were the lifeblood of his business. He wanted to understand them, collect many of them, and teach a few of them. Which was a problem because while his profession of a Skill Trainer was perfectly legal, it was frowned upon by most of the kingdom. After all, it wouldn't do for a non-tailor to teach Tailoring. Or, so says the Tailors Guild. The same could be said by the Blacksmiths, the Bakers, the Butchers, the Candlestick Makers, the Mages, and every other Guild with enough money and clout to complain. But still, Skill Trainers provide a valuable service, and so he has managed to start his business and keep it under the table. To a degree. With many a bribe. But his quiet anonymous life of research, practice, and training was about to change. When the Baron demands you pay him a visit, you have little choice.

Our Shattered Realms
*This is a learning experience for me so please keep in mind that I am attempting to work on some of the issues brought to my attention early on. However I haven't yet gone back to redo the early chapters.* Less than two days ago every piece of electronics in the world stopped working for more than two hours. The death toll was immense. Hospital equipment failed, cars stopped in the middle of the street, planes fell from the sky, and homework was lost at the worst possible moment. We found out that it was just the flicker and hum of The System warming up. Now we see the true cost of our new world. A Dark comedy that focuses on a few of the many people who aren't stuck in a high level dungeon when our world is translated and joined to Our Shattered Realms. This is my first story that I have published. I welcome any criticism that you have for me. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy!

The watcher of universe and stuff.
The most devastating thing to an eternal being must be boredom. If nothing can change you, how can you yourself change? Sometimes you have to learn that the hard way. I should point out that there are multiple lead characters and they will all have their own personalities and motivations. While the story will focus more on our MC Trey, you can expect multiple POV switches. If you do not like POV switches, this might not be for you. My first book. If anyone will ever read this, be so kind as to leave a comment. Even, if all you say is an insult. As long as I can improve this work by your comment, it's all fine. One thing’s for sure. I will keep writing as if my reader can handle curse words without curling into a little ball and repeatedly saying: "Leave my safe-space alone, you monster". Therefore, you can expect some profanity.
