Zoë Nightshade, Part Two

Zoë Nightshade, daughter of @Atlas and Pleione, was a former Hesperide, nymph of the sunset, who was later exiled and plotted out for helping Hercules, as if she never existed. For this reason, she joined the @Hunters of Artemis, becoming the loyal lieutenant of @Artemis for over 2000 years. She now resides in the stars, as she has shown a great interest and connection to the stars. Her constellation "The Huntress" is depicted as a girl who is running around shooting arrows in the night sky.

Quest for Artemis (Part Two)

@Percy Jackson then starts arguing with @Dionysus saying that he'd love to see them die. Dionysus then tells Percy that he could ask for help, and say please. Percy asks, and Dionysus does nothing, as Percy expected. But then Dionysus comes through and helps the quest members.

Zoë then reveals that they must go to the @Garden of the Hesperides, her former home. The four start on their way, but Zoë soon complains that they are going too slow with the @Ophiotaurus (Bessie). For the sake of the quest, Percy decides to give up the Nemean Lion's pelt as a sacrifice to his father, @Poseidon. This was done to keep @Grover Underwood and the Ophiotaurus (Bessie) safe on their journey to Olympus, as the Ophiotaurus (Bessie) must stay in Olympus to be kept away from the @Titan Army.

The three then travel to the @Chase House, to ask for help. When they arrive they start talking about how @Annabeth Chase is in danger and they must borrow his car to save Annabeth. Zoë promises that she won't destroy his car as she has been driving since automobiles were invented. @Frederick Chase hesitantly lends them his car, which the three use to climb to Mount Tamalpais. On their way up, the car is later hit by a blast of lightning and then destroyed. This angered @Thalia Grace as she thought that this was her father, @Zeus trying to kill her, as the prophecy prophesied that one would die by a parents hand.

To reach @Artemis, the quest members are forced to go through the Garden of the Hesperides. While there Zoë encounters her sisters, who were being very rude. They were having a cold and harsh conversation, Zoë then told hem they've never had any courage right before yelling "LADON!! WAKE!" waking the hundred headed, serpent like dragon. Zoë then spoke to @Ladon, in a calm sweet voice, trying to comfort the dragon and have him remember her. The serpent-like dragon, after a while, sensed Zoë wasn't really who she "used to be" as she wasn't a Hesperide anymore she was a Hunter, Ladon then attacked her. However, when the dragon attacked, Zoë dodged, but was still bitten in the side. Ladon's bite is poisonous and the poison slowly weakened her, but she hid the injury from the others, until her death.

The three found Artemis holding up the sky which she had taken from Annabeth. Zoë ran towards Artemis and started crying and begging Atlas to let Artemis go, Zoë was then going to offer to hold up the sky, but Artemis didn't allow Zoë to offer. The General, @Atlas, was revealed to be Zoë's father. Luke, one of the leaders of Kronos' army then showed up, trying to convince Thalia to join the army. Thalia declines and then it becomes a war zone. Percy then offers to take the sky, Artemis agrees and gives Percy the sky. While Percy is holding up the sky he sees Thalia and Luke fight each other, but he mainly pays attention to Zoë and Artemis who are fighting Atlas. Percy witnessed that Atlas was about to strike Artemis but then Zoë jumps in the middle and shoots an arrow at Atlas, Atlas knocks Zoë to the side sending her sprawling into a bunch of big black rocks, further injuring Zoë. Percy later tricks Atlas into taking his burden of holding up the sky and Atlas is stuck once more. Annabeth was then freed from her bonds and trying to stop Luke and Thalia from fighting, when her father comes in with a Sopwith Camel firing celestial bronze bullets at the monsters. Meanwhile, Percy and Artemis are trying to help Zoë.

Artemis told everyone that they all had to leave, as Zoë was extremely injured and needed assistance immediately. Thalia, Percy, Annabeth, and Artemis crowded around Zoë. Zoë apologized to Thalia for their arguing and to Percy for how she made assumptions that he was like Hercules. Her last words were "I can see the stars again m'lady"...stars." Artemis then blessed her and made her into a constellation in the stars. A pattern of stars that looked like a young girl running around firing arrows into the night sky. "Let the world honor you my Huntress, live forever in the stars." said Artemis.

After Zoë's death, Artemis offered Thalia the chance to join the Hunters and to be Zoë's replacement as her lieutenant, an offer that Thalia finally accepted.
