Artemis

Note:

The following is the fantastic story of the Gods of the Olimpo. Basing on the greek mythology tales, this tells the story of the many gods that tried to balance the powers on Earth.

This one features: ARTEMIS

Artemis , ran on the inmense woods in Greece as the afternoon followed and soon the Sun that had been her companion for must of the hunt was leaving her side as her brother drove it away.

What was following now was the darkness and it was ready to the moon.

She was a different hunter and different than most of the gods. She has always have accompanies but in that moment she was on her own. She always seeks justice for the ones that most of the times cannot defend themselves. She is nature number one justicer.

She was running and begging to her father to have time to stray back. But she was not thinking about anything else. All she needed to do was run and hunt.

Even in those moments, a smile was drawn in her face, as that is one of the moments that it makes her feel alive. She is truly more happy on a forest on the man world than the luxury life of the Olimpo, when you can only watch a distant world and somehow you are not part of it.

So to say her sister goodbye she entered to the deep in the woods and she was looking for the most beautiful and rare flower so Persephone could take care of it in the Hades and remembers her.

She will ask Ares to guard the flower as no one dares to enter to his room, till is moment for Persephone to leave. She has to hurry as many flowers stop growing on the fall and she wants a very pretty one , as pretty as her sister.

That got her in trouble as when she cut the flower some ninphes sent a big bear to chase her to gain back that beautiful flower.

Artemis wanted to give them a show to know that she is not a goddess they can simply mess with.

As soon as she could she turn around she did after running for a while, she was a little bit faster than the bear that didn’t mean she was faster than Hermes.

She turned around and aimed with her arrow and killed the beast, straight to its heart. She knew the entire woods was watching and that was a good thing, they knew now.

She flew away breathless to the Olimpo with a flower to give to Ares. She had to hide it when Persephone was playing with Ares. As soon as Persephone left, Artemis gave it to Ares and he swore to protect it.

Artemis was trying to avoid Zeus as she did not do her duty that night. But she was busy. She was the goddess that spent the most time on the men world. It had a lot of And as she likes it, she likes adventure as well. Bed time, Apollo who was as always convincing the most without Zeus knowing and Hera , to go to the men world to celebrate. Everyday Apollo had different reasons to celebrate and he wanted to cherish the wonderful of life.

Artemis normally joined her brother and Persephone, they would always ask Atenea to join them, that way father wouldn’t be so harsh with them. Dionisio, Hermes would follow and they would seek in the men world for Hefestos , who was casted away from the Olimpo, for being ugly and ill. He had been living with the men, still making weapons for the gods.

Ares wouldn’t go. He was obsessed of training about being better than Atenea but that was impossible even for the God of War.

But Artemis this time didn’t join her brother even when Apollo begged her, she wasn’t tired neither. She would just lay on her bed staring at the ceiling.

Zeus and Hera were already on their rooms, and Artemis was just resting, happy. She had many reasons to be happy, at that moment.

Persephone did left, she liked to enjoy her brothers and sisters company the moments she could. She would be half year with Hades, and she wanted to have fun before going.

Artemis was not with them but she knew exactly what would happen. Atenea as the introvert she is wouldn’t do anything. No matter how much the others would beg, actually she would try to leave first. And she would end up walking across the streets of Greece. Watching the ordinary people.

Apollo would party the whole night with Hermes and Dionisio at his side along with other demigods and in some times mortals.

Persephone getting distracted most of the time and following anyone that she could recognize.

Anyway Apollo only returned when it was time to do their duty. Every god had a duty, well every god except Atenea. Ares duty was chaos and he was very good at it. He was protector too.

Persephone, Atenea and I went to our favorite isles. Persephone for the flowers, I for the animals and Atenea liked to do adventure stuff. She would only accompany us for a while, she would train like every afternoon with Ares. As long as they keep training and they don’t fight.

Artemis and the other gods think is strange the relation between Atenea and Ares. Ares always wants to take Atenea down.

While Artemis and Persephone were loving their times together, Atenea sat to rest and think for the first time of the day, then she went around the isle to discover it, and she found men camping. She hided from them, in her experience men are very predictable to fight. And she didn’t want to take the “fun” from her sisters.

A man saw her on that island , he was on his own and asked her if she was a muse, she said “No, I am not”. Atenea, being a beautiful goddess and with that thing that she had, made that man lose his mind. He asked her to stay and she stayed for a while. It was the first time that she missed training with Ares.

While that was happening, Artemis and Persephone explored all the fauna and flore of the place. They never goddess of gods.

The Sun was away and Artemis and Persephone decided it was time to return to the Olimpo as dinner time was coming and on the darkness the more fun the more dangerous.

Persephone left to wait for her sisters on the Olimpo and Artemis found an owl and sent a message to Atenea. She decided she would wait for her, as she would explore at dark that peculiar island.

Atenea was talking with this man, and as the desire of Atenea was just casual talk, the desire for this man was so much more and with the hours going on and on that desire started to increase. Atenea sometimes appeared to be so naive, but let’s not be mistaken that is the goddess of wisdom and she understands perfectly things to be.

The other men were about to leave, Atenea was to but this man asked Atenea for help in a cave. The goddess felt it was a tramp but she did wanted to see the cave and if something bad happened she could stop it.

The owl wondered around all the island till it found her. Atenea, inside the cave decided it was time to leave. The mortal man wanted to stop her and he told her a beautiful sonet to make her stay. Atenea responded to that.

“I am not a mortal girl to fall for that, and is naive for you to think that those intention will ever happen”. The mortal man answer to that was to rape the goddess. Atenea killed the man, and she hanged his body on the cave as a warning for the others.

Artemis found the cave and her sister, they were about to leave when curious Artemis saw some sparkle yellow eyes and decided to follow. Atenea told her it was a bad idea but Artemis was bewitched and she followed those yellow eyes on the deep of the jungle.

Atenea couldn’t stop her so she went on her side.

Artemis found some incredible animals and creatures for her eyes. Species of spiders that she never saw before, snakes

so long that it was almost impossible not to fall. She continued, while Atenea was remembering spells that Hera had thought her to stop her sister for her uncertain path. But there was something on her mind. The boats of the men were still on the island, and she was figuring out where were they.

Artemis finally saw that beast and she thought it was lovely. She secretly felt bad about that bear she had to kill to save her life and she wanted to make it right. She couldn’t hear her sister calling for her help and maybe she should have because she was in danger.

It was like she was bewitched

Atenea didn´t know what to do, so she started to locate what was provoking this hallucination. And when she found it she killed it.
