Midnight Visit
Well, unlike the other letters, which show you what it's like being a Demigod, this letter is to show you what it's like to
be a Child of Artemis. Just a little warning for you, a few of the moments mentioned within may seem uncomfortable.
Then again, you may not have to go through them. Well, for the first one, I'm still a tad embarrassed this happened. As
I was getting ready to go to bed, (I was alone in the cabin at this point) the mental bond I share with Artemis went off.
I sighed, and concentrated. 'Do I have to remind you that we're not all creatures of the night?' She giggled in our
connection. 'Actually, I'm not a night owl myself. However, I do want to show you something.' I sighed again. 'I'm not
sure I want to see the Moon Chariot yet.' Yet again, she giggled. 'No, silly, it's not the Moon Chariot. Come and see. I'm
in Sector Four.' I'll tell you where Sector Four is if you come to Camp. Anyway, I sighed, and Iris-Messaged Chiron, to
let him know that I'd be gone for a bit. He nodded, and told me he'd keep the harpies away from Cabin Eight. (I hadn't
remodeled it yet.) I walked through the woods, and reached the border. Sector Four was beyond that. I walked
through, and after a few minutes of walking, I reached Sector Four. I saw her sitting on a tree stump cleaning off her
bow. I had never handled it at this point, since I figured she would be upset if I did. As I got closer, she looked up, and
smiled. "Good evening." I sighed. "Such as it is." She chuckled, and pulled a remote out of her pocket. Pressing a
button, I noticed something appear. It looked like a cross between an ATV and a tank. It had weapons attached to it.
You guys probably think Ares is the most aggresive Olympian? You haven't met her yet. I looked at her with shock on
my face, I am sure. Facing her, I said, "What, did you raid a military base or something?" As I expected, she laughed.
"No, Hephaestus built it, with Ares' help." I raised an eyebrow. "Don't they dislike each other?" Artemis sighed.
"Normally, but I have the honor of being Hera's favorite stepchild. She put in a good word for me." I raised my eyebrow
again. "I would think she hates you." Artemis snorted. "Usually, she does hate her stepchildren, but somehow, I
wormed my way into her heart, without trying. She still hates Apollo, but at the very least, tolerates me." "Ah, so that's
what you mean by favorite." She chuckled. "I didn't mean it like that, Shawn. She and I are on good terms a majority
of the time. The only time we were not on good terms is when my father had Thalia. She decided that we should go our
separate ways for a time. We started having tea together a few years later, but those years were a tad tense for me." I
sighed. "You want something." She snorted. "No, not this time. I just wanted to show you what those two made for me.
By the way, my father wants to meet you someday." I sighed. "Considering I have yet to go to Olympus, and I've
decided not to go unless summoned, it may be a while." She sighed. "I told him so, and he said he'd try to visit. I say
try. My father has forgotten grandchildren before." I nodded. "No problem. I'd rather not have any visitors right now,
anyway. I wanted to talk to you about remodelling the cabin so that it can fit more people." She snorted. "You mean
tear it down and rebuild it." I nodded. "That pretty much sums it up with my construction skills." She laughed at that.
"Good luck with that. I'll have Zoe come help." I nodded. As we parted ways, I swear she was miming building
something.
