Heya guys! I don't really mind if you don't read this or anything, the idea just popped into my head and I started writing it.
One more thing, this chapter is set before Zoe's time, then after Thalia's as I have this bad habit of making them OOC.
Now all that is left be the disclaimer!
All rights of the Gods go to the Gods themselves and our ancient ancestors who believed in them. Then all other rights belong to the epic Mr Rick Riordan whom without this series would not have been created. I only claim rights to my plot, my original characters.
MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY YEARS AGO ON A WINTER'S NIGHT
Third Person's View
The moon was dull, barely lit up and did not give the warm feeling like usual, just an empty coldness to all those who gaze upon it this night where ever they be on the Earth. There is a reason to this though, an explanation; Artemis and her Hunters, they are grieving for their fallen sister who died mysteriously in battle with no corpse left behind.
The group of girls, now down one, sat silently around a campfire which did not seem to emit any heat in the centre of tents. Around this patrolled the Wolves and Falcons of any incoming danger. They all stayed like this for many a minutes before eventually a 10 year old girl with auburn hair and silvery eyes lifted her head and looked at all the others.
This girl spoke in a soft, shaky voice, breaking the silence, "Did anyone see how she died?" Each girl murmured that they did not. Every girl spoke in Ancient Greek. The youngest girl about eight, sitting beside the one which spoke first, shook her head instead of speaking as more tears fell onto her lap. The auburn haired girl just pulled the younger girl close and held her as she cried and eventually fell asleep.
That was when another girl spoke up; this one had blonde hair and clear blue eyes. "All I saw was Natasa going against many monsters alone, leading them away from us, she was too fast for me to follow Lady Artemis. She died for us." This girl's voice broke quite a few times throughout, but she got out what she wanted to say.
Silence fell over the group once more as each girl went off at their own leisure to the tent allocated to them with this knowledge that their lieutenant sacrificed herself for them. Many had tears in their eyes, but not many of them fell.
After a few hours only Artemis was left, holding the younger girl from before still. She looked down and her eyes rested on the child with her brown hair and tan skin, looking so peaceful, carefree compared to earlier. The child, Melantha, had lost her biological sister. She still had the Hunters, but they could not replace Natasa fully in her heart. It'd take a while for her to recover somewhat, join in and seem alive again, she will need much longer time to get over it compared to the others.
Artemis sighed, gazing back up at the moon again, working out who was to become lieutenant now Natasa was gone⦠If only there was a body, it would be much better, easier on them all. But alas, it could not be so the night remained sorrowful.
I have no idea if I'll ever finish this or not, but hey, it'll be fun! That is the main thing, right? I'll work on this when I can in between school, my commitments and everything else on top of it.
Please fell welcome to review and anything else you wan't.
