"Thoughts"

"Spells"

?'s POV

Dammit I gotta get out of here quick before those hunters capture me. I should climb onto the trees. It should be harder for them to chase me. I run through the forest, not daring to look back. I hear a lot of crashing and cursing behind me as my opponents try to catch me. I continually keep turning, hoping that I will lose them. I look up and behold. Up ahead, I see some light, and I gather some energy for a final sprint. The lights lead to a clearing and I fall down in exhaustion. Guess I finally lost them. They called themselves the Hunters of Artemis, but I don't see Zoe, or Atlanta. It is possible those two got killed, but highly unlikely. I should be grateful though. Zoe and Atlanta would have already caught me. Wait a moment… if they were the actual Hunters of Artemis, where is their goddess? Fuck she might be around here. I can't go back. I gotta get out of here.

I checked my belongings. I still have my coat on, the hood haven't been blown off yet. I still don't want to let my face show, if any of the old hunters are still alive. It's only been 500 years since I last saw them. I grab my staff and channel my energy into it.

"Requip: Wings of the Forgotten!"

The staff floats out of my grasp and attaches itself onto my back. It glows with glow energy as it transforms itself into wings. I did a few experimental flaps, to make sure they work. After a few flaps, I accidentally created enough wind to topple down a tree. Immediately I heard the sounds of wolves.

"Fuck, they got the wolves. It will take a fucking miracle to escape them now." I mumbled under my breath. I shake my head. I got to get out of here. I managed to jump out of the way of an arrow and I flew away. Hopefully never to be seen again.

Thalia's POV

"What is that male? He looks to be human, but no human grows wings." Abby whispered next to me. My squad, which consisted of all relatively new hunters and me, all walked back to the camp. Normally we would run back, but we have failed our mission that Lady Artemis gave us. I don't understand. I understand we hunt males all the time, but why did Lady Artemis assign me this mission? I thought this would be a normal hunt, not some freak show of nature. How the fuck did he get wings? Why do I not have any? I then thought about the mission more. Why did she order the mission to bring him back alive?

I snapped out of my thoughts when we neared camp.

"Girls, stand right here for a second." I called out. I looked at all the dejected faces around me and I made my decision. "This mission is not your fault, it is mine. If I knew that we would be facing that male, I would have went with the more experienced hunters. Don't let this mission bring you down. Use it to work harder in your training and to massively improve.. Break!" At my command, the girls broke out of our huddle and proceeded to camp. I stormed to Artemis's tent and knocked on the door.

"Permission to enter!"

A soft voice answered, "Permission granted."

I push the tent flap open and I walk in. I then bowed to Lady Artemis and waited for her to speak.

"How was the hunt Thalia? Did it go well?" She asked.

"I bowed my head down and answered, "We failed Lady Artemis. He managed to escape us."

She frowned. "Zeus will be disappointed." She then started to pace around her tent. "If my hunters can not capture this man, who can? This must turn into a god hunt if possible." My heart rose at her compliment towards the Hunt, but I remembered one small detail I needed to share.

"Milady, the male grew wings and flew out of the forest." Artemis's eyes widened and she turned around and started shaking me. "Tell me all the details NOW!"

"He wore a black cloak and a staff on his back. He kinda looked like a wizard, and I swore he said something before we chased him."

She started shaking. "Did he call himself a…" she sounded a little hopeful as she uttered the next word. "... battlemage?" I nod at her question. He did say that actually. Why is milady asking such questions? And why are her questions right? Does she perhaps now this male? She twisted ring and a staff appeared in her hands. My eyes widened as I saw it. That's… That's the same staff he's been holding! I point to her staff, shaking uncontrollably.

"That is the same staff he was holding!" I manage to scream out.

Artemis collapsed onto the floor sobbing. I rushed to help her when she started crying out words.

"He's alive! He is still alive! I didn't make him fade!" She cried. Her sobbing got worse as I stood there shocked. She started screaming at the heavens. "Please forgive me! I made a terrible mistake! I am sorry! Please come back to me! I miss you! Please!" She curled into a ball, repeating 'I'm sorry' over and over again. Broken out of my shock, I rushed to my leader and held her close. After a few minutes of crying into my huntress dress, she finally composed herself. He took in a few breaths.

"I am sorry you have to see that side of me, Thalia. I need to inform the consul of what happened." Before she flashed out, she gave me a watery smile. "I would appreciate that you don't mention anything to anyone about what happened." I gave her a smile and nodded. After averting my eyes for avoid looking at her flashing, I walk out and got tackled to the ground by the new hunters. Surrounded by questions about what happened, only one thought crossed my mind. What happened to Lady Artemis and that male that caused that much grief?
