sleep... it was something that I no longer needed. having spent over 40 years with the chaos army, he learned to not sleep as much.
he would still need it but he can stay awake for weeks at a time. he would have to do stake-out missions that would last months so this wasn't anything.
I was watching the news and saw how they found the dead body I left at the police station. sure his body was beyond repair but they could still recognize him if they tried.
I sighed and flipped through the channels and began watching some of the things I missed. they opened many fast food restaurants and other stores near our house.
I pulled out a guitar and started to play to release some stress that I had accumulated over the years.
to not disturb columbina's sleep I teleported to some woods I was fond of.
I began to use the pick and started playing some of the songs that were on the other earth.
[how to save a life- the fray]
the song came naturally to me as I played it on my guitar. the sounds of the soft song calmed all the nearby animals and caused most of them to head in my direction.
while playing I began to notice the animals began to sit down and listen to my play. with a small smile, I began to play songs for the rest of the night.
the deer sat in between my legs and the wolves were lying around the smaller animals protecting them.
I spent the rest of the night staring off into space. while I was doing that a wolf pup walked up to me and lay in my lap.
I started petting his head and waited for morning to come by so I could go to the hunters and see everyone there.
thinking about the hunters made me nostalgic and kinda happy. sure they were sometimes a pain in my ass, they were still technically my "sister" and daughters since I'm married to Artemis.
time began to tick away and when six am came by I teleported to a woman's clothing store and grabbed clothes and put two hundred dollars on the cashier's deck.
I teleported back home, walked to the door that columbina was sleeping in, and knocked to wake her up.
"I left clothes outside the door for you you so you can change clothes," I said leaving the clothes on the doorknob.
they weren't much except combat boots and other forest gear. like a tank top, a shirt that goes over it, and long pants.
she could get better clothes from the hunters when we get there, but as of now, she has to deal with it.
I summoned food for her and I turned to find Hestia waiting for me, she looked tired but otherwise normal.
"what's the matter," I said handing her some coffee.
"Zeus," she said sipping the coffee.
"what happened now," I sighed taking a sip of my tea.
"he thinks that if he divorces hera and cheats on her then he is expected of his oath," she said tiredly.
"I'm very good friends with lady Styx. if he doesn't keep his oath, then I'll make him," I said as a flash of purple crossed my eyes.
*sigh* "I know that Percy... and that's what I'm afraid of," she said looking at me.
I heard columbina's soft footsteps from the hall and I turned to look at her. she still had the band over her eyes but she looked like an average girl that wasn't from another world.
"so you are going to take her to the hunters," Hestia asked.

"yup, there shouldn't be any problems, maybe other than Artemis thinking I cheated. which I didn't," I clarified.
"I know Perseus," Hestia reassured me.
"alright let's get going," I said grabbing columbina's shoulder and mist traveling use outside the hunter's campsite.
I had to guide Columbina a couple of times because of the traps but we made it in one piece so that was something.
we sat on the bench and while columbina was looking around, I was waiting for everyone to wake up.
"Is this how you live," she asked.
"it ain't much, but it's honest work," I responded.
"work?" she said confused.
"I used to work defending the hunters here. although her dad made us get married, I learned to let the sisters of fate do what they do best.
do I like it here? yeah. honestly, if they didn't give me something to do when I got out of Tartarus I would go crazy," I told her.
"Tartarus?" she asked confused.
"Basically when monsters die they get sent to Tartarus, and they reform. imagine the hilichurls die but they come back and hunt you down. a never-ending cycle," I explained.
"too much work," she said lazily.
"yeah... imagine being there for over 20 years," I said.
we sat there in silence listening to the peaceful sounds of birds. the sounds of the wolf patrolling the area and the sounds of a woodpecker trying to get the caterpillar that was inside of the tree.
that's when I hear it, a sound of popping bones. I knew somebody was stretching because they barely woke up.
I sat up and turned my head towards the open tent. I saw a newer hunter that I didn't recognize, and when she saw me we maintained eye contact for about two seconds before screaming as loud as she could.
now all the hunters were up and rushing out of the ten with bows at the ready. Amy however dropped her bow when she say it was me.
"brother," she yelled as she tackled me into a hug.
*humph* I grunted falling onto the ground.
"I missed you to booger," I said hugging her.
the older girls dropped their bows and the younger hunter followed their example.
"you are finally back," I heard Zoe ask.
"yeah... I'm back," I said relieved.
