Artemis was walking in the woods, alone, at night, when it hit her. Literally. An arrow hit her on the shoulder, making her vision fuzzy. The last thing she saw before it went black was a tall, thin man. When she woke up, it was daytime. Every part of her body ached, and her clothes were gone. She heard leaves rustling and looked up to see a man. He was hiking. The man looked down to see her and immediately pulled off his hoodie and gave it to her. Artemis put it on. He then gave her some water. "Who are you, ma'am?" He asked her. "I am Artemis." Artemis replied. "Artemis, let me take you home to my wife. She will help you." The man said. Artemis tried to use her powers, but found they didn't work. Reluctantly, she agreed to let the man take her back to his wife. The man helped her to his car. On the drive back, The man Introduced himself as John Powers. He said his wife's name was Mary. When they got to his place, Mary gave Artemis some clothes and gave her some advil for the pain. Mary saw the spot where the arrow had hit her and asked what happened. Artemis told her about the arrow hitting her, the strange man, and everything going black. Mary said that The arrow had some kind of poison on it, but didn't know what it was. Artemis decided to take a risk. She could slowly feel her powers coming back and decided to test her and John. She summoned some ambrosia. To someone who couldn't see through the mist, it would look like she had pulled a lemon bar out of her pocket. Mary stepped back. "How did you do that?" She asked, scared. "I am Artemis, greek goddess of the hunt, moon, and eternal maiden." John had come into the room. "But- but how are you real? I thought the greek gods and goddesses were myths!" John said. Thunder rumbled in the sky. "Think again. All of the 'Mythology' as you call it is real. Gods, heroes, Titans, monsters, Giants. All of it." Artemis told him. "And you're a goddess? Wow!" John replied. "How is your world hidden from humans?" Mary asked. "Hecate, goddess of magic, controls the mist, a veil- like thing that makes our world invisible to mortals. Almost all mortals can't see through the mist. Those of you that can see through the mist usually have some special purpose in the greek world." Artemis explained. "Now, I really must be going. Thank you for your help, It was nice to meet you. Goodbye!" Artemis said as she disappeared in flash of light.
