Heya! This is my first fan fiction so please be kind :) Also, I apologise for any Greek mythology inaccuracies, as all my mythology knowledge comes from what little I've read, and what I've been told by my friend RedFluffyBanana (who seems to know everything about Greek mythology :) which is cool)
This fan fiction is a spin-off/sequel to 'A session with Artemis' by RedFluffyBanana, so it would be a good idea to read that first (it's a really well written story so i strongly recommend reading it). Don't expect this story to be anywhere near as long or as good as 'A Session With Artemis', I've just done it as a bit of fun.
Hope You Enjoy :)
DISCLAIMER: I obviously do not own Greek Mythology :P Harvey Brown is RedFluffyBanana's character (i do have her permission to use him)
A cold wind blew outside, leaves were turning brown on trees, and the temperature was plummeting. All these signs pointed to one thing – it was the start of autumn. 2 weeks had passed since Harvey had been visited by the Greek goddess Artemis, and his life was finally settling back to normal. It was the end of the day, and Harvey was sat in his usual large, brown, leather chair in his office in New York. Every now and then he would think back to that extraordinary evening where he glimpsed into the past of the goddess of the hunt, and silently hope that it all hadn't been just a dream. His whole view on life had changed in that one day. Now every time that he read about storms at sea, he would wonder if it was caused by the god Poseidon. Every time he saw lightening flash over head he would wonder if it was Zeus throwing one of his lightning bolts. He knew it was madness to dwell on it, and that he would most likely never hear from the gods or Artemis again, and that he should forget about it all and continue with his life. But he couldn't just forget. Something like that sticks with you forever.
Harvey was deep in thought when suddenly there was a glowing light in the middle of the room. The ball of light increased, pulsing slightly, and Harvey began to see the outline of a tall young woman appearing. Harvey then had to shield his eyes as the light suddenly brightened, then slowly faded away. Harvey removed his hands from over his eyes, looking at the figure in front of him.
"Artemis?" he asked cautiously, his eyes trying to adjust after being almost blinded by the light.
"No. I am not Artemis" The woman said. Harvey could now tell that this woman was older and taller than Artemis was, and so was definitely not the young goddess who had appeared to him 2 weeks ago.
The woman had dark hair, green eyes and wore a long, flowing green dress. The way she held herself gave Harvey the impression that she was very mature and stern, but caring as well. Harvey had an idea as to who this goddess might be, but he didn't want to say, just in case he got it wrong. He knew from what Artemis had told him that he didn't want to get on the wrong side of a god.
"I am Demeter" the woman introduced herself "goddess of the harvest, and I was wondering if you could help me"
"Y. .Yeah . . . sure . . . um . . . of course" Harvey stammered. He was very nervous, but he managed to collect himself and regain his composure. "What can I help you with?" he asked.
"Well, I've heard good things about you from Artemis. She had become rather depressed a few months ago, but after her visit to you she seems to have perked up a bit." Demeter explained. Harvey was quite surprised. He'd hoped that he had helped Artemis and was glad she was doing ok, but he would never have guessed that she would recommend him to anyone else.
"Please take a seat" Harvey offered.
"Thank you" Demeter said, sitting down "As I was saying, it seemed that you greatly helped Artemis and seeing as I myself have been feeling down lately I thought I might pay you a visit."
"Well I hope I can help" Harvey said "Why don't we begin by going back to your childhood" Harvey usually started off this way with any new patient, as childhood is a key time for everyone.
"I spent my childhood in the stomach of my father" Demeter said bluntly.
