1. Promise of Despair

Ch.1

Promise of Despair

We were just captured by the Hunters in the woods. My best friend Helena, who I like, but I haven't told her, have been running for 3 days, but the Hunters caught up to us in no time. I guess I should tell you, we're two clear sighted mortals. After the two wars, the gods actually started cracking down on traitors and enemies. While this was good, their paranoia led to a few innocent deaths. I'm one of those cases

"What do you want Lady Artemis?" I asked the goddess with as much respect as possible. It was hard to manage since I was wrapped tight in steel chains.

"You have been sentenced to death for treason against Olympus," she replied.

"But we haven't done anything wrong" pleaded Helena.

"Attacking a son of Zeus is not nothing" said Artemis cooly.

Not our fault that he broke into our house and I shot him, but he apparently told his father that I shot him for no reason, and of course being clear sighted doesn't help.

"You, boy, are sentenced to death while the maiden can die or join the Hunt." explained Artemis.

To me that didn't sound bad, I die, but Helena can enjoy life in the Hunters? I was willing to die for that.

And with that said, Artemis drove a silver hunting knife straight at my heart.

Then, my blood chilled, Helena barged into me, knocking me out of the way, but the blade pierced her stomach, fatally injuring her.

"YOU IDIOT, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT". I screamed at her.

She looked up at me and smiled before her eyes dimmed signalling she passed.

I couldn't handle it, she couldn't die, not the person I grew up with. Not the one I cared about. I could lose anything except her. Nothing would ever replace her.

Artemis murdered something like, "A waste of a maiden to protect a male"

After that a dam inside my head broke, Artemis made Helena sound like an object, everything poured out, my hatred, my despair, my insanity. All the terrible emotions of humans came full force into me.

I laughed so insanely Artemis looked at me.

I told her something that would start in motion a new path of my life.

"Listen here goddess," I put as much venom into my words as possible. "YOU KILLED HER, THE ONLY ONE THAT MATTERED, I'LL KILL ALL OF YOU", I roared at her.

You can't do anything you are a mere mortal she stated with a hint of royalty

You're right, I may be mortal, but you did one thing as a hunter you should have known not to do, I said just above a whisper.

And what would you know about hunting she replied.

You tempted a wild beast, you destroyed the only thing to keep it in check I stated simply.

Nothing could describe my emotions except pure hatred. I hated that I was so weak, that I couldn't protect her. I did the only thing I could think of, kill the people who did it. I broke my bonds and broke the neck of the nearest hunter.

"You foolish male, now you guarantee death, I will kill you for killing my hunters" Artemis said bristling with rage.

She drew two hunting knives and started slashing at me faster than the eye could see.

In my state of pure rage, I grabbed her wrists stopping her from doing anything.

"Take a good look at me goddess, see the very thing you despise, you completely in it's power, and the face that will destroy your hunt" I taunted her

"You WILL DIE MORTAL" she snarled at me.

She kicked my chest and sent me flying onto the ground. She quickly covered the distance in milliseconds and brought her hunting knives down, but then something unexpected happen, I was able to dodge it.

"Impossible, no way a mortal could dodge that" she sounded stunned.

I didn't know myself how I dodged it, but I started running away where she started firing arrows at me. Then I did another unexpected thing, I caught one arrow. That's when Artemis looked into my eyes and saw it. I had the mark of the wild, the mark of the Tiger.

She was so stunned that I was able to get away. I had no idea what made her stop, but I promised one thing.

I promise Helena, I will avenge you, and I fled into the darkness.
