Daughter of Artemis
Prologue:
A/N: Yo, yo, yo, what up, my peepdogs? Okay, I'll stop. Anyway, I started this story months ago, and I was just really interested in the concept of Artemis' not being able to have a child, so, yeah. Whatevs. And, besides, it's about time I make a PjatO/HoO fanfic, considering my username. And now I present...the disclaimer! Hey, you know why I don't own PjatO or HoO? Because I REALLY WANT TO PRESSURE RICK TO RELEASE HOUSE OF HADES SOONER! Seriously, can't he release his story in September? At least I can buy it as a late or early birthday present. Oh well. Hey, maybe I can buy it for my friends as birthday presents!
Running. That's what a certain woman was doing. She was holding something in her hands, something made out of earth. The woman, somewhere in her 30s or 40s, looked distressed, and she was breathing heavily. She had tears running down her face, into a cut in her face, but she didn't seem to care about the cut that was now causing her pain. She was running away from something, but what? Behind her, a thundercloud raced to catch up with the woman. The thundercloud had tried to blend in by causing a thunderstorm, but the thundercloud was the darkest of all of the thunderclouds in the storm, so it stood out. Soon, a thunderbolt, or lightning bolt, whatever you want to call it, nearly hit the running woman, and it had singed the a small part of the tunic she was wearing. The woman looked left and right for something, but she couldn't find it. Suddenly, the woman bumped into something. Or somebody. She shielded her eyes from a blinding, silver light. When the light had faded away, there stood Lady Artemis. The woman looked relieved that Artemis was here, instead of being fearful.
"Who are you, and what are you doing in my woods?" Artemis asked with a sharp tone in her voice.
"Lady Artemis, I am grateful you are here. I am being chased by what I believe to be is your father, Zeus," the running lady replied.
Artemis looked at the thundercloud just waiting in the sky, as if it was waiting to kill the the running lady after the conversation was over with. "Yes, that is my father. What did you do to provoke him?"
"I do not know, Lady Artemis. After I was finished making this earth child, I wanted to go to your brother, Apollo, to his temple to bring this baby to life, as he is the rejuvenating sun god. Suddenly, when I stepped out of my house, the sky darkened, and this storm started. Then, your father appeared as that thundercloud up there-" she pointed at the darkest thundercloud "-and he has been chasing me ever since, until I got lost and ended up here."
Artemis looked at the the mound in the lady's arms. "Is that..."
"Yes, it is. This is the baby I made from earth. Lady Artemis, may you please take care of this baby for me? Bring it to life, and raise it, without her knowing you are Artemis, an Olympian goddess. I beg of you, please do this for me, and I will be able to die happy."
Artemis stood speechless. When she regained the ability to speak again, she accepted the offer, and took the baby in her arms. When Zeus saw her daughter being handed the earth child, he threw a thunderbolt at the lady passing the earth baby to Artemis. However, it was too late. The baby had already reached Artemis' arms. The woman whom the lightning bolt was directed to, however, was zapped into ashes.
Zeus went away, not knowing that Artemis was in shock. How could her father be so heartless, and kill an innocent woman? Artemis decided to bring the child to life, however. She breathed into the child, and then she heard the baby laugh. Artemis then took out what appeared to be an empty jar, but it was really filled with Orion's last breath. She opened the cap lid, and directed the air into the baby's mouth. When that air entered the baby's mouth, and was cleansed of any poison, or anything that could threaten the baby's life, the baby stopped emitting a shiny gray glow.
Artemis smiled at the adorable baby. "I shall name you...Sapphire. I'm glad you're a girl, or else, you wouldn't exist right now." The baby squealed, and said its first word: "Mama." And that is how Sapphire, the daughter of Artemis, came to existence. But, the story's not over yet...
