First Meeting

Artemis hated males that was extremely well known. She was known to turn them into jackals or other mammals if they went within a mile of the huntresses camp. But she was not an exception to the well known fact that all goddesses have a Guardian. Guardians were male, fiercely loyal and deathly. They are best friends and if fate allows companions to the Goddesses. The one person she could turn to when everyone has betrayed her.

She had been born quite some time ago as a goddess and yet she still did not have her guardian. She never felt the tug of her soul towards him. She did not mind, too much she told herself. But she could not deny that she was curious to see who he was and what he looked like. Even her twin brother could not see his face as he could the other Goddesses. But she knew one thing about him, a dream had told her his name. Perseus Jackson.

The moon goddess sighed softly running her fingers through her hair as she focused her gaze up at the moon. Standing after a while she disappeared in a flash of silver to the throne room on Olympus. Sitting in her throne she looked around at the other goddesses, there barely noticeable in the shadows behind the throne where their Guardians stood silently keeping guard and carefully listening. She felt a ping of sadness refusing to turn her gaze to the shadows of her throne where her guardian was absent. She was the only one without one at the moment. There were some empty spots but that was because the guardian was yet to be reborn into the world to serve again.

She barely listened to the conversation of her family sure she was paying attention but she did not care about it. After the meeting was dismissed she stood from her chair before freezing in shock. She felt it, a pull to her soul urging her forward. Her twin brother Apollo who had noticed her sudden halt in movement tilting his head in curious confusion.

"Artemis? Are you okay?" He asked in shock as he noticed tears sliding down her face. The other Gods and Goddesses in the room turned to look at her. She was never one to cry so easily it was odd for anyone to see her doing so.

A happy grin tugged to her lips as she turned to her twin wiping the tears away.

"I felt it, Apollo. My Guardian, I can finally meet him." She grinned happily.

"I'm coming with you." HE replied quickly but could not help but smile too. He knew she had been eagerly hoping for the pull for the longest time. She nodded and grabbed his arm flashing out.

The crash of the ocean was the first thing they heard. Artemis opened her eyes hoping to see the man who would protect her for eternity in front of her but was quickly disappointed. There was no one in sight. Looking around her frowned thinking she had gotten the place wrong but the thought slipped away quickly as soon as she felt the next pull. Bursting into run she followed the pull.

She did not know how long they ran she lost herself in a daze only to be ripped out of it when a hand yanked her back. Stumbling she blinked as a car rushed past, it would have hit her if the stranger had not pulled her away. A pale hand dropped from her arm and her eyes shot up to a male's face. His mouth was moving, she shook her head.

"Repeat that." she mumbled trying not to growl.

"Are you alright miss? You were almost hit...I pulled you out of the way but I was wondering if you were injured in the process..." Came a soft deep voice, like the sea, powerful but soothing. She blinked observing the male for a moment. Somewhat long neck length hair that never stayed in place, he was tanned but no super tan, he was strong too, like he had been trained to fight. "Miss?"

She snapped out of her daze sliding her eyes to his face and froze at his eyes. Green, sea green, swirling with intelligence and loyalty. Everything disappeared, it was just them. Tears slipped from her cheeks, the pull had stopped and calmness took over. Their eyes were wide in recognition. His softened gently.

"I finally found you..." He breathed out a single tear streaking down his face. She rushed forward throwing her arms around his neck and sobbing pathetically into his shoulder, pressing close and breathing in his ocean like scent. "Artemis..." She normally would have hit him as strong arms wrapped around him pulling her closer, burying his face into her soft auburn hair and breathing in the wood like scent. But she knew she was safe with him, he would protect her forever.

"I've been waiting, Perseus..." She whimpered pulling away and wiping her tears before grinning.

"I know, I'm sorry I took so long." He chuckled softly before bowing to her. "My Lady." She smiled gently, he was different respectful and kind.

"Let's go home, my Guardian..." She smiled taking his hand and flashing away from the crowded area. Like any Guardian he was granted immortality until he fell in battle.

He stood in the shadows of her throne, silver armor covered his skin a helmet hid his face. He was silent as normal. He never left her side. He would wait until she fell asleep at night to retire to her tent and rest himself. He was there when she introduced new huntresses. He was like their brother in a way not by blood but they respected him just as he did they. He was there to comfort her when a sister of the hunt died. He was there to kill any many who came near the camp. He was there when she was so tired that she could barely move and he had to carry her back to her tent. He never yelled, he rarely got mad. He was gentle most of the time but merciless when needed. Sure they had their ups and downs but they never once doubted their duty to each other. Him to protect, her to comfort. Thousands of years passed and he never left her side and he never would. Though they would be separated for a bit it eased their minds that they would meet again one day.

Please review and suggestions on the next chapters would be appreciated. Flames and such are excepted as I would like to improved my writing. Thank you for reading! I may pick a few of the meetings and make them into separate stories but I'd like to see how people like this little series first.
