I wake up, remembering crying myself to sleep in my brother's arms. Why does he have to hurt me to deal with his own emotional pain. I looked around to see Perseus is sleeping in his crib and a paper on one of the dressers that Hestia and I choose. I looked over the note and noticed that it looked like whoever wrote it, may have been crying when writing it.

Dear Sister,

I'm sorry, for hurting you. I overlooked how my actions could have affected your domains, and thus affect you. I know there's not much I can do to make up the many years of neglect I have given you.

I hope that one day we can reset our relationship to be like how it was on Delos, before the stress of our domains changed it.

Please Forgive Me,

your awesome brother, Apollo

P.S. I may have given Perseus my Blessing

P.P.S. I nicknamed him Percy as I think Perseus sounds old and is a bit too long to pronounce

I finished reading his letter and was almost in tears myself, even though he's still immature, he still swallowed his pride and took his time to write this. However, the two Post-scripts he wrote made me consider killing him for blessing Perseus without my permission. Though I have nothing against the nickname, I think it suits him even.

Ever since that day when Apollo apollogized, our relationship as siblings has slowly been getting better. He's cut down on the levels of man-whore he has himself at, and has since been claiming all of his children, or in the Roman case getting them to the wolf house for Lupa to train. He also hasn't started a wild fire although there was a few close calls, but the mortals on the other hand haven't stopped.

Percy has also grown, and sometimes surprises me when describing his mother, because I never described her to him, and he's pretty accurate. Also, since he's begun to understand english, I have always told him the story of his mother, and how she protected him with her life and stayed living until she knew her little boy would have someone to raise him and care for him as she did. He loves her and has started asking for more and different stories about her recently, which if I want I'll have to get them from Hades. So, most of his bedtime stories end up being about his sisters in the hunt. Though I did get some more stories of her out of my always grumpy uncle.

Hestia has also been stopping by frequently and has been starting to teach Percy, how to read and pronunciation and expanding his vocabulary. Zoë and Phoebe are Percy's favorite sisters, but he's still a pain to us all. Just yesterday, for instance, I finished giving Percy a bath and what does he do, not even before I can get him dressed he ran out of my tent and rolled around in the mud. But to make it all the better, when we tried to get him out of the mud so we can give him another bath, he threw mud at all who dared to attempt to remove him from the mud pile, and Phoebe and Zoë took the brunt of the first few volleys of mud. He laughed the entire time, eventually tiring out and falling asleep, which is when we took him out of the mud pill and gave him a bath, which we all needed, so I asked Hestia to come down and watch him after he got his bath.

Today is my fourth birthday, My sisters(the hunt) and my mommy(Artemis) have told me from really since I could remember that they would start teaching me Archery when I turned four. I hope that they give me a bow for my birthday, though Auntie Hestia, doesn't want me to get hurt, and I overheard that she wants one of my sisters or mommy to watch me whenever I have a bow until I am older.

"Percy, come here" mommy called

I ran out of our tent, to see all the hunters there as well as Auntie Hestia and Uncle Apollo. Once I was outside they all yelled happy birthday, and Auntie H pulled a cake from out of nowhere. I rushed over to the dining tent and heard my sisters laugh, and say something about my appetite. I don't get it though, I rarely ever get cake, and it's one of my favorite things to eat.

We all ate the cake and my sisters finished there's rather quickly, "I'm not finished with my cake and yet you all complain about my appetite, when yours is all gone" I sassed. Mommy, Auntie H and Zoë laughed as they were the only other ones that haven't finished yet

Phoebe gasped and put on a look of betrayal towards Zoë, "Zoë you agree with our lil brother's rude comments" she said laced with sarcasm

"Yes I agree with him. He makes great point about thee" She responds, with what the hunters call old english. Auntie H tried to convince her to join the lessons she gave me, but all Zoë did was complain about how quickly the language changes, and how she sees no point in changing her ways. This time though, the hunters laughed as Phoebe started opening and closing her mouth like a fish.

After the laughing died down, mommy came and gave me a silver box saying its a gift from her and the hunters. I being me, immediately unwrapped it making a mess everywhere. Once I opened it, I saw a smaller version of the bow that my sisters used, and it looked just like the correct size to fit me. Though one difference is, that the bow has golden etches. I looked up at mommy and asked if she could start teaching me, jumping up and down in my seat.

"Tomorrow Percy" she said, " I promise. Let us use the rest of today to celebrate your birthday though"

"Ok, mommy" I said, just as Apollo put a smaller and more square box before me.

"This is more for you and your mommy" Uncle Apollo said. I looked at mommy since he said it was more for both of us. She nodded and I began to tear into it. Inside the box was a binder looking thing and I looked at it confused, until Apollo told me to open it. I looked inside and seen pictures of mommy and a small person, "Mommy who's that in that picture" I asked, pointing to a picture of mommy laying on her back and a baby laying down on-top of her.

Mommy didn't answer me, but she had tears in her eyes, so whatever it was it must mean a lot to her. "That Percy, is the day I first meet you, and the day I started to make amends with your mom and my older twin sister" Apollo explained.

"Then why are we asleep" I asked, not really knowing who was going to answer but wanting one.

"Well, you kept me up all night, and then Auntie Hestia and I took you with us when we went shopping to get everything I needed to take care of you, at the time" Mommy said, "it was the morning after I adopted you, to be my own child" she finished. After that I sat down with mommy and we looked through most of the photo album as I learned it was called, and it was completely full somehow.

"Apollo how did you get these" Mommy asked

"I have my ways" he said in a cryptic and joking manner.

I was just hanging around the campfire sharpening my hunting knives. I got them a couple of weeks ago for my birthday, and the hunters and mom(Artemis) have started training me with them, though I keep asking about learning how to use a sword, which they tell me I can learn later in life.

All of the sudden Phoebe came running into camp and shuffled me into Zoë's tent as it was the closest one that wasn't Mom's and mine. "Phephe, why are you rushing me into Zo's tent. you know she doesn't want me in here without her permission" I said, calling her by her nickname I have for her, because I know I'll get an answer.

"When me and Zoë were out hunting with mom, we ran into some half-bloods and she ordered that I head back to make sure you hide, mom, Zoë or myself will come get you once they leave. and Please stay hidden mom doesn't want you talking to them as she sensed that the boy with them is...fluctuating his loyalties" she said leaving the tent

I sat down thinking for a little before, I started moving all of Zoë's stuff so that her room is mirrored from what it used to be.I hope she doesn't come in to get me while I am moving her stuff around.

An hour later I had finished and began to sit down on the bed as I heard the shouting of a girl I didn't recognize, "He's not like that. I am not going to leave him and Annabeth". I heard my mom's muffled voice saying something about that the boy is distressed and is unsure of things.

A few minutes later, Mom walks in and just starts laughing at what I've done. "You know she's not going to be happy when she sees this right"

"Yeah but it's going to be funny" I responded, as we left Zo's tent.

A few hours later when we were all heading off to bed I heard a thud and then Zo's scream, "PERSEUSSSSSS, WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT MESSING WITH MY THINGS" to which all the hunters looked confused because they didn't see me take anything from her tent...this time.

Mom ran to Zo's tent, "Zoë what's wrong I don't see anything that's wrong" she said holding back laughter with all the hunters gathered at the entrance of her tent.

"What are talking about everything is out of place" Zo yelled

"It doesn't look like it, I think you're just tired, and you should really get some sleep" Mom said, guiding Zoë to her bed.

Over the past three years or so, I have pulled that same prank another 5 times, and Zo thinks she is going insane, as the rest of the hunt knows about the on going prank, but deny its existence. Zoë also gave me this really cool sword called anaklusmos, or riptide, and asked me to return honor to the blade she made.

Mom, says I'm a great swordsman, but there's room for improvement, where as my knife and archery skills are on par with Zoë's, though this past year her win percentage against me is only just above 50%, but I guess that's what happens when you train for over half your life with the best.

Anyways, Mom sent me out on a solo hunt to get food for us, when I came up on a group of monsters surrounding a couple of kids. I brought out my bow and took out the monsters and I was pretty sure I heard the older boy, who had what looked like a fresh scar on his face, mumble something about stupid hunters, but I could be wrong. I left the trees and the three kids, which I was pretty sure they are demigods now looked at me in shock.

"You know a simple thank-you would be nice" I said. When no response came I turned to leave, and the next thing I knew my vision gets blurry and started going black. I am pretty sure I heard someone asking a Luke person why did he do that.
