This is my first try at a FanFic based on a book series. Feedback=good! Alright, here we go.
Disclaimer: Rick Riordan owns half of the characters and the idea. I own my characters and the plot line.
Life before this sucked. I was a loner, that weird girl that sat in the back corner of the class, ate alone and never had plans for the weekend. I didn't do sports or any school activities. At home I would practice shooting, the only thing in the world that I loved. I would do target practice, when I was hunting it only took me one shot to bring down my prey. When I would use it, my bow and I were one, working to get that perfect shot.
I still remember the day that changed my life, I remember it clearly. After school, a girl came to me. She was dressed in a white shirt, silver jacket, silvery camo pants, black combat boots and sporting a silver circlet like a tiara. She had short, spiky black hair and the most brilliant blue eyes I've ever seen. She shined a little, like a silver light was emanating from her. She introduced herself as Thalia Grace.
"I only have a few minutes to talk, so listen up." She said. She then explained that the gods of Olympus were real and that she was the daughter of Zeus.
"Are you telling me this because you think my dad is a god? Because he died in a car accident right after I was born."
"No, well, maybe. I'm telling you this because I want to recruit you."
"To what?"
"I want you to join the Hunters. We work under the goddess Artemis, who swore to maidenhood forever. Which is what you would have to do. Just, consider it."
"I-I will."
She smiled a little and handed me a bag. "In the front pocket is the oath you must recite. If you are worthy, the goddess will come to you. Best of luck." She said, then turned and sprinted into the woods.
I brought the bag to my room. Inside was an outfit that matched Thalia's, just without the circlet. A bow and arrows and two hunting knives were in the bag. Also, a silver ski jacket. A little box the size of a pack of gum that expanded into a tent. I found that out the hard way.
I kept out the outfit like Thalia's and the bow and arrows. I pulled out a small scroll of paper and set it on the ground. Just when I was about to recite, my mom got home.
I explained everything to her. After a while she understood, allowing me to join the Hunt. I hugged her one final time and went back to my room. I put the clothes on and read the oath;
I pledge myself to the Goddess Artemis. I turn my back on the
company of men, accept eternal maidenhood, and join the Hunt.
I waited. Maybe three minutes later, a bright white light shone through my room. I averted my eyes until the light died down. When I looked back up, a beautiful woman in a white dress and a bow and arrows on her back was standing in the middle of my room, a silver aura, brighter than Thalia's, glowed around her.
"A-Artemis?" I asked.
"Yes my dear. I have heard your oath. I hope you obey it for the rest of eternity."
I bowed to her and she touched the top of my head. I look down and see that I have a silver glow, just not as bright as Thalia's and not even close to Artemis'.
"Welcome. Please join your group." Artemis pointed outside and I ran to the group of 10 or so girls.
Thalia gave me a warm smile. "I'm glad that you decided to join us. Welcome, Aaliyah."
So, there's the prologue. I love feedback, just don't be a douche. Thanks for reading! Love ya! ~traviana12
