Chapter 1: The Forbidden Child
"Please you must hurry."
"Remind me again why I'm helping you."
"Dionysus, you must take him into your camp. That is the only place he will be safe."
"Okay."
Artemis and Dionysus silently walked down a secret passageway in Mount Olympus. Both of their robes were caked with dirt and their head covered with sweat. Artemis was carrying a small basket with her and in it was a small child.
After a long time, Artemis and Dionysus reached the end of the hallway. Dionysus looked at Artemis who had tears in her eyes. Artemis handed him the basket, wiped away her tears, and regained her posture.
"You must take him down to Camp- Half Blood and keep him in Hermes's cabin," Artemis instructed Dionysus. "Say he was personally given to you by Hermes. I have already talked to Hermes and he has also sworn to secrecy."
Once again Artemis burst in to tears and started blabbering "my child…my child…" Dionysus wanted to comfort her but he didn't dare say anything or touch the fierce goddess.
"So let me get this straight, you had a kid with a person you love, the kid is forbidden since you swore never to love a man, and you don't want to lose the loyalty and faith of your fellow hunters and gods," Dionysus said.
Artemis nodded silently. Dionysus hated to see people like this even though he was mean on the outside. He felt obliged to help this poor goddess.
"I will leave now," Dionysus said.
Again Artemis nodded silently but this time she patted the child on the head.
"Live strong, my child," Artemis murmured.
Dionysus was about to step off Mount Olympus but then turned around and looked at Artemis.
"What do you want him to be called?"
Artemis smiled and answered proudly, "Trevis."
With that said, Dionysus stepped off of Mount Olympus and spiraled back down to Earth carrying the forbidden child.
