He would never forgive her for what she had done. It wasn't right what happened. How was she supposed to stop what happened? Didn't even give her the right to defend herself.

Just thinking about it made his blood boil. Blinking back angry tears. Our auburn haired hero stared down sadly at the tombstone. Placing a bouquet of lilies down he muttered a soft prayer to the desased. Standing back up he glared at the cold night sky
of Greece.

"I hope you remember what today is. And feel regret every time you look upon the stars." His name was Naruto, and he would never forgive his mother, or the gods. Vanishing in a column of flames. It was the anniversary of his sister/aunts death.
The day he learned just how truly curl the gods can be.

Written on the tomb in an area that was still untouched read: Here lies Kallisto, friend, sister, huntress.

A few weeks later we find our hero watching from the shadows on a snow covered hilltop. As three demigods and a satyr battled a manticore, defending two defenseless demigod children. And from the looks of it the four fighting it weren't do good. He would
have helped out sooner, if he hadn't have felt theirpresence. So decided to sit around a bit longer to see how things played out.

A silver arrow flys from the bushes on his right finding it mark in the monsters shoulder. Roaring in pain. The manticore rips it out looking around wildly.

"Who dares interfere!"

Stepping out of the shadows were a group of girls wearing silver winter jackets, all with their bows but only one armed.

"Permission to fire milady?" Asked the girl.

Naruto however didn't hear anything that came after. His attention was drawn to the silver tiara ontop the girls head.

"That pórni!(whore) she has no right to wear that tiara!" Naruto cursed. Trying to bring his anger back under control. Naruto was able to see a black haired boy charge the monster, getting in the line of fire. Knowing things would go down hill
fast. Naruto spranged into action drawing back the bowstring making a arrow appear before firing. Gaining the attention of everyone on the hill.

"Get out the way boy!" He barks firing another arrow at the manticore further enraging it. Smirking he charged the monster sliding under its tail as it made a overhead strike. Spinning into a kneeling position he fired off another arrow into
its back.

"Come on!" He taunted. "I was expecting a challenge!"

"Careful what you ask for boy!" The creature warned slinging its tail in his direction. Rolling to the left dodging the spikes. Naruto charged his shot before firing at the tail completely taking off the top.

Roaring in agony the hybrid man glared at Naruto. "You'll pay for this boy! This I swear to you!" Taking off into the bushes.

"Yea well I was bored of fighting you anyway!" Naruto shouts after him. Turning Naruto got an arrow in the face.

"Who are you boy!" Commanded the theft.

Glaring at her, Naruto didn't answer but choose to around here. His mission was done.

"I order you to stop!" That got his attention. This pretender dare to boss him around?

The entire hill was silent. No dared speak feeling the obvious tension in the air.

Moving faster than what was deemed possible Naruto threw a knife severing the bowstring.

Underneath his hood the glare intensified.

"Enough!" A voice spoke from behind him. Knowing who it belonged he didn't turn around. Opting to glare at the theft some more.

"Naruto? Is. Is it really you?" The voice sounded hopeful.

Naruto scoffs not answering her question. "You gave away her tiara." He didn't need to look to know she winced some.

"Please look at me Naruto." Sighing because he knew he'll come to regret it. Naruto turned removing his hood coming face to face with Artemis, goddess of the hunt, moon, childbirth and supposedly maidens.

Everyone watching the two had shocked expressions. For it was like looking at mirror. Both had auburn hair, silver eyes and a faint glow making them appear more beautiful in the moonlight.

"Mother!" Naruto spits out like it was acid.

While there was on outward reaction to his spite. He could see the hurt reflect in his eyes.

"Ok! What the heck is going on here?" A girls voice breaks the tense silence. Looking over you could see a girl around fourteen or fifteen shield a boy around seven. It was clear the two were siblings. Reminding him of Kallisto and himself.

"Girls set up camp! Tend the demigods injuries." Artemis ordered not breaking contact with her son. "Come with me." Walking towards her hunters with him trailing behind.

Following his mother Naruto recognized some of the hunters who were staring at him in shock. Snapping her fingers his mother made a large tent appear.

Walking inside, Naruto was greeted by familiar sights of furs, antlers, stuffed heads and other trophies. Being in here brought back bad memories. It was thus very tent that his mother the unforgiving hypocrite revealed her true colors. Shaking his head
to clear his head of such thoughts. He missed what the goddess said.

"What?" He said rudely.

Artemis who had went from her child form to her young adult form. Narrowed her eyes at him.

"I asked how have you been."

"Like you care!" He snorts.

His mother sighed. "Of course I care Naruto, you're my son. What would make you think I didn't?"

Naruto placed a finger to his cheek mock thinking. "Oh, I I don't Mom. How about you taking my sister Kallisto away from me! Turning her into a bear! Threatening to kill her! And to top it off you gave her tiara away to some whore!" Naruto rants.

Artemis actually had the decency to lower her head in shame. What could she say? She was still a young Goddess at the time, hardly a century old yet. When she descovred her friends pregnancy, Artemis felt angry, hurt and betrayed. Anger at her father
for forcing himself on one of her hunters, anger at herself for failing to protect her. Hurt that her friend didn't trust her enough with this, and ultimately betrayed by her own feelings. The logical part of her brain knew she was wrong but didn't
care. Even the begging of her friend wasn't enough to sway her anger. The events of that day cost her three relationships she cherished most. The first with her father who she never forgave for what happened. Second being the lose of her best friend
who's image in the stars hunt her. And most importantly the loss of her only son. Who she missed terribly. She searched the whole world for her son but was never able to.

Now here she was sitting in front of her son who looked to be seventeen. His body built like a lean muscled runner, his auburn hair with streaks of silver was shoulder length. His whiskers marks giving him feral apprentice and his silver eyes once full
of love and innocence. Now full of pain, anger and hate. Feelings she knew she help out there. The lose of both her friend and son, along with Orion and Hippolytos showed her how much a hypocrite she was.

Something she swore on the Styx she'll make up for. Her first action was to have all gods swear on the Styx to never touch her hunters again. The next was to be more patient with those who did become pregnant and hide it from her. Now she had a chance
to rebuild her relationship with her son. A task she knew wouldn't be anywhere easy but was worth her.

Looking her son in the eyes Artemis gathered her courage. Speaking the words she should have all those years ago. "I'm sorry, Naruto."
