"Artemis! Artemis where are you?"
"I am here, brother."
"Finally I have found you, sis! What's up with you? You're acting strange."
As the woman he called Artemis approached, she looked sullen. She seemed darkened by something.
"Well?" he asked." what is it?'
"I think it would be better for you to not know, brother."
"Aww sis, c'mon. You can trust me."
"It's not that, Apollo. Listen to me, you mustn't tell the others I have gone. They mustn't find out I have left Olympus."
"Woah, woah, woah. You're leaving Olympus? But why?"
Artemis stared at her feet, very much like a child who has broken their parent's lamp playing football in the house when they told them not to.
"I have broken my own sacred oath, brother."
"That can't be possible, sis. You have kept that oath for thousands of years."
"I know, I know. But I have in fact broken it, and I am turning into a..." she seemed terrified to say what was coming next," a mortal."
Apollo gasped, completely in shock.
"Are you…."
" yes brother, I am going to have a child."
"But Artemis, how? I thought you distrusted most men."
"I do. But you said most. I met this one while on the hunt. I had to go into New York. I spoke with him in a coffee shop and well… I fell in love."
"Artemis…. Fine. I won't tell the others where you're going, but will you at least tell me?"
" I am going to stay close to new York. In the city actually. The best place to hide is right under the god's noses."
"Do the Hunters know?"
"Yes. I have asked Thalia to take my place at any meetings of the 12.'
"What will happen when the child is old enough and the monsters start to seek it out? Chiron will surely send a satyr!"
"I will allow them to take the child to the camp. Hopefully no one will ever realize who she is."
"Will she even be a demigod since you are turning back into a… you know."
" I have thought that over. I believe she will. Now, brother, I can feel immortality fading from me. Goodbye, and hopefully I shall see you again."
"Good bye, sis."
Apollo turns to leave, but stops as if he was in some kind of trance. He began to say something. It seemed like he was looking right at me. I never got to hear what he was saying. I sat upright in bed and heard the sound of glass shattering downstairs.
