Preface

The moon rose over the farm the night that the forbidden child was born. Artemis was scared for her life; she had stayed hidden for the last nine months, knowing that if Hera or Athena found out about her betrayal then either she or her child would be severely punished. The child was born with moon grey hair and royal purple eyes. She also had a mark on her inner forearm that looked like a crescent moon, but would alter in concordance with the changing of the moon.

"My beautiful baby girl. How I wish I could be the one to raise you, but I can't I have to get back to Olympus. I will find someone to raise you, but it cannot be your father for he has died in the Great War. The one that Ares has cast upon the world." Artemis rose carefully, child in hand and walked up to the farm house. The farm was owned by the Hu family, being the sad fact that Lee, Mrs. Hu's eldest son, died in the Iraqi war. Artemis wouldn't dare face her mother's wrath, she had no choice but to leave the little newborn in the care of her grandmother. After ensuring that the child would be well looked after, and kept hidden from the world, Artemis set off for her own home, subconsciously worrying about her only offspring after two steps away from the farm.

"Artemis, we have missed you these months of late. What have you been up to?" Athena asked, as she was leaning against one of the temples pillars looking out over the conference room. Artemis walked past and took her seat by her brother's chair.

"I have been out on a hunt with my huntresses. We have been on the trail of a monster that threatened the Roman camp." Artemis knew that there had been a monster attacking the roman camp, but she had sent her huntresses to take care of it, without her. Athena gave her a spiteful glance and then took her place. Hera then entered the chamber and looked around before taking her place, she was followed by Zeus, Poseidon, Ares, Aphrodite, Hermes, Hephaestus, and Apollo.

"This meeting has been called due to the absence of one of our own. Artemis, we need to know where you have been or we will have no choice but to punish you into exile." Zeus said as he took his seat. The meet continued in this manor, everyone asking and everyone threatening exile and punishment. Exile didn't sound too bad to Artemis because that meant that she would have been able to raise her daughter herself.

"I have been away hunting with my huntresses. They have known where to find me." Artemis knew that if she had gone to exile then for sure they would have found her daughter. Artemis would just have to learn to live with the fact of not being able to raise her child. After the meeting was over Artemis sent for Thalia. "I need you to do me a favor."

"Anything ma'am." Artemis pulled from her bag a box. She looked up and reached for the moon. Grapping a handful of dust she crafted a figure. Placing it into the box she spoke in the ancient language.

"Ζουν όσο αυτή, να τη φρουρά, είναι η ζεστασιά της. Take this to the Hu Farm, in Shanxi, China. You will tell the kind lady there that this present is for the little girl there. She will know who it is for and who it is from." Thalia nodded took the box and placed it in her bag. She bowed to her and then headed for the Hu farm. Arriving she knocked on the door, an older woman answered it with a baby in her arms.

"I was told to give this to you. It is for her. I was also told that you would know who it is from." The lady nodded looked around and then smiled to the girl. Thalia smiled nodded back and then left.

Five Years Later

The child ran around the barn followed closely by a Husky/Wolf Hybrid. She was playing tag with the only friend she knew, her grandmother had told her that Alaska, the dog, was from her mother and that he would live as she did.

"Celestia, it's time to come in sweetheart, for both you and Alaska." The grandmother called from the house. Celestia turned to Alaska and smiled.

"We are coming grandma. How about a race Alaska?" He barked, wagged his tail, Celestia smiled and pulled forth the other gift from her mother. Becoming a white tiger she took off towards the house followed closely by Alaska, who was laughing. The only thing that set Celestia off from other white tigers was that her stripes were grey instead of solid black. She still had her royal purple eyes, which was another thing that allowed you to be able to tell her apart from another tigers. The two were next to each other as they reached the porch.

"Well, Well, Well. If I didn't know any better I would say that Artemis was ditching out on her hunt with her hunters to run around with a dog. However I know that isn't the case because Artemis doesn't have royal purple eyes, she had dark purple eyes." Celestia looked at the woman sitting on the porch and started to back away. "No need to do that sweetheart. My name is Hera, and I'm not going to harm you, however I wouldn't recommend you going in the house until dawn. For I have placed a curse on you that makes you remain as a tiger during the night. But you will be human during the day, this way no one will ever trust you."

Celestia's grandmother came out onto the porch then and looked over at Celestia. She then turned and looked to the lady sitting on the porch swing. She started to cry and turned to head back inside. Celestia made to follow, but stopped when her grandmother shook her head.

"No, you are not welcome inside this house ever again. Leave now and take that mutt with you. I only took you in for that evil witch because you are my son's child, but now that I see you are more like her than him I want nothing to do with you anymore. Now be gone." She went inside and closed the door locking it behind her. Celestia turned to Hera and began to growl.

"I will grant you one thing with this curse. When you are stuck as the tiger at night you will be able to understand that friend of yours. I will be on my way. Good luck with your life as you continue to hide from all of us." Hera then disappeared leaving a distraught Celestia and Alaska standing in the Hu family front yard. After staring at the door to the only place she had called home for five years for about 4 minutes. Crying she turned to Alaska, she looked so scared and alone.

"We will survive, I will be there to help you ever step of the way. I will be your guard and I will be your warmth when you need it. Come one we need to be getting out of here." Alaska nudged her shoulder with his head and they both took off running in the direction of Paris.

Seven years Later

Celestia had been running from many things over the last seven years. From rumors she had heard that her grandmother had passed away. He uncle now had the farm, but he upheld the one rule that her grandmother had left. Celestia was not allowed on or within 100 yards of the farm. She snuck into houses, barns, hotels, even factories to rest or get food. Alaska had been with her from day one and had neither doubted her nor had he left her to fend for herself. It was midnight and Celestia was laying under a Renault Clio along Fleur De Ta. She was taking a nap after having been running for the last 3 days from the giant chasing both her and Alaska. Alaska was watching the road to make sure that no one bothered his sleeping friend mostly because she needed the sleep more than anything.

"Sleepy puppy. Angry Puppy. I say you should sleep for no harm shall befall you kitty in her sleep." A voice said from behind Alaska. He laid his dead down and within seconds was asleep. The owner of the voice walked over to the Clio that Celestia was hidden under and smiled as she sat down to get a better look at her. "Well it would seem that Hera didn't lie to me about you, daughter of Artemis. A forbidden child. I, Athena, shall not punish your mother with your death, at least not yet anyway. I shall punish her by forcing her to watch as you rely on instinct alone in any fight you face. You will have the ability to gain knowledge but you will not have the wisdom to use for your own good. This is my curse on you. Pray I am the last to curse you child and that everyone else has seen this as punishment enough for your mother's betrayal. Oh, and you both might want to run little one, a not so friendly is coming your way."

"We have a problem. We have been discovered by a monster and Lady Athena. We really need to get out of here. Let's find a way to America, it might be safer for us there." Celestia rose and saw Alaska running at her in such a hurry. She nodded and they both began to run in the opposite direction of the monster.

"I don't know Alaska, it would be worth a try; hopefully we can out run the past there." They ran in the only direction they could think of a way for them to get to America, whether it was going to be by plane or boat they didn't know. They ended up finding their way to one of the many ports of the French coastline.

"Celestia this tag says this cargo box is headed for New Orleans. That's in America. Let's get in and head to America." Celestia nodded and the two got into the box and hid until the ship landed in America. They bolted out of the box once it was off the ship and unlocked. Unfortunately they were spotted by a monster that began to chase them. They managed to out run it by hiding in another part of New Orleans but it would eventually find them again.
