Prologue:

I ran and ran. So fast. Faster than I have every ran before. The wind whipping and whirling. The rain hitting and stinging my red cheeks. My breath came out in short gasps. The bitter coldness made my breath hitch and freeze my breath. My jet black hair was soaked, making it stick to my forehead.

My hand gripped the black leather binding of the handle of my knives. The sliver mental of the knives flashing in the pale full moon. Wolves could be heard in the forest far away but closer than before. Each step I ran another five steps they would gain.

My sliver eyes were red rimmed. The tear stains rain down my cheeks. The grim and dirt washed away by the sorrow and pain filled tears. My chest tightened with the weight of hopelessness. The sounds of foot steps sounded nearer behind me.

I sprinted with every last piece of strength I had to do so. My legs moving like gears in an never ending machine. My movement like a blur moving through the trees and bushes. I didn't care if I got lost all I care is if I got out of the forest. I kept running not looking back but forcing myself to slow down a few places.

Then a dead end. I stopped and turned. Backing up against the wall. I placed my knives in my pocket and pulled my bow from over my head. The wooden handle creaking as I notched the golden arrow. Then waited.

Movement stirred. Then silence. The eerie silence almost deafening. Then all hell broke lose. Sliver arrows shot out from the blackness. Sliver dressed girls walked out of the darkness. A young girl with moon like eyes and auburn hair stood their with her arrow notched. Aimed right at me.

I smiled at her. "Lady Artemis how delightful it is to be hunted by your grace!" I said sarcasm dripping from my voice, "Tell me My Lady are you really that cruel like they say you are? Go on then strike me down. Strike down a man who witnessed your hunt." I said bowing my head.

She laughed like she was taking in the humour of my words.

"Tell me something I don't know. Like your name." I smirked at her. I was enjoying this.

"Tell me something oh great goddess what was the worse mistake you have every made? Was it you killed Orion or that you had a child?" her eyes widened at this, as did the girl there.

She opened her mouth to reply but I cut her off.

" Or was it the fact that the child you had was a boy. A male what you feel are dirt beneath your finger tips. scum to the earth? Well tell me what was it. Or don't you count them as mistakes? Do you count them as miracles like some mothers do. Well tell me your answer?"

"How do you know all of this? You dare speak to Lady Artemis like this!" the head commander of the girls said. I just smirked.

"You want to know how I know? Well lets play a game. Yes I like games." I paused for a dramatic effect.

"Tell me what does 'Filius Lunae'? you know I think you've heard that name before haven't you. Yes Artemis I forgot to tell you that's my name." I held out my hand "Filius Lunae nice to met you Mother."

Everyone just gasped. The head girl of the group drew her bow and before anyone could tell her not to aimed it at me and shot it straight at me then blackness.
