Author's Note: Shout out to a guest reviewer named Ultor for giving me some of the domains. Sorry I haven't uploaded in a while, I've been busy with school and sports, but now I'm making writing a bigger priority. A huge thank you to everyone who stuck with this story even when I didn't reply. I'll do my best to keep up a weekly or biweekly streak of uploading (rest assured, the other chapters will be longer than this). Well, I guess that's all for now. I hope you guys enjoy the chapter. Don't forget to tell me what you thought about this chapter so that I can make the next one even better for you guys. Until next time, Maroon.

When Perseus, awoke, he saw two women sitting next to his bedside. He was confused, until the events of the previous night came rushing into his head and he groaned.

Athena smiled down at him. "How are you feeling?"

"Fine, milady." Perseus replied and sat up. His bright gray eyes swept all around the room, scanning for possible exits, possible entry points, what would work best in a fight…

"You do not trust Olympus?" The other woman said. She had a heart shaped face and full lips. She had a smattering of freckles across her nose and cheeks. Her eyes were shining and resembled a full moon.

"I was once told that it is best to be attentive. Ignorance is the curse of God, and knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven." Perseus said as Athena looked on proudly. "It is not that I do not trust Olympus. It is that I do not trust anything."

"Good." Athena said. "Now, I do not want to startle you, but you missed some of your other domains. You are also the god of Hurricanes, Justice, and Valor."

Perseus looked down at his hands. He could feel power like he never before. It flowed from his core throughout his entire body. He could feel hurricanes all over the world. "Was this supposed to happen? Why did everyone put their shields up?"

Athena shifted uncomfortably. "You were supposed to be a god, but not this powerful. The power was too great to all go in at once, so it took time. During this time, the power was ripping apart the throne room. We had to protect ourselves. Also, two gods sharing a domain is almost unheard of. In fact, this is why I have brought Lady Artemis. Lord Zeus has told us that you and she are to form a group of hunters, all female, who have been wronged by men."

Artemis looked very uncomfortable. "I already have some. They do not take kindly to men."

"Then why am I going there?" Perseus asked.

Athena patted his arm. "You do not remember? You were also named the Patron of Women."

Perseus got up and stretched. He actually felt his back crack and muscles grow warm like he'd been asleep for years. Artemis and Athena also rose, and Athena patted his cheek. "Goodbye son, make me proud." She disappeared.

Artemis wrinkled her nose at Perseus like she'd smelled something horrible. "The last thing I want to do is work with a man, but you are different. Do not make me regret saying that."

Perseus bowed his head. "I won't. Now, where are we headed?"

"Ephesus. My temple there is a safe haven for women, but I fear that men are on the steps. They will tear it down if we do not hurry. Quick, grab my arm." Perseus grabbed Artemis' arm and they disappeared with a flash.

Perseus reappeared on the steps of a large temple, and sure enough, there were men lining the bottom. With a second look, he noticed that the entire male population of the town was there, holding pitchforks.

He looked at Artemis, who was steadily glaring at the men. A beefy man with a huge belly strode forward. "You!" he raised a shaking finger at Artemis. "Let us up there so we can kill those whores!"

Artemis threw a dagger so quickly that even Perseus had trouble seeing it. A moment later, that man was laying on the steps, gurgling blood. "Any of you pigs want to sample a taste as well?"

See, Perseus had seen two sides to Artemis so far. One was the cold and royal princess he'd met earlier, but now, he was seeing something scarier. It was the angry Artemis. Her eyes were literal balls of fire, and her veins were beginning to grow gold against her pale skin.

Perseus lightly touched her arm, and her head whipped around. "My lady, how about you check on the maidens? I will handle this." He said, trying to stop her before she reduced the city to a dirt mark.

Artemis actually calmed a bit. "That is acceptable." She ran up the steps, leaving Perseus alone with the men.

Another man stepped forward. "So how about you let us past, eh? We both know you only want to bed the goddess, so why not let us get our whores back?"

Perseus felt anger course through his veins. How dare someone suggest that he would try to bed a maiden goddess! "Turn back, fool, or I will make you regret it."

"Ha." The man spat on the ground in front of Perseus. "Worthless."

Well, I warned him, Perseus thought before he waved his hand in front of the steps. Every single man was forcefully pulled back to in front of the steps, and then they found themselves incapable of moving.

"Perseus!" Artemis called from the top of the temple, and Perseus looked back at the men one more time before running to the peak.

"Yes my…Zeus." There were literal hordes of young women, some crying and hugging, and others glaring malevolently at the ground. Perseus felt something tugging in his gut and he released it. Immediately, all of the women seemed to relax and stop crying. The ones glaring at the ground looked up.

Artemis looked at him with something akin to gratitude. "How shall we assemble them?"

His brain had already started working on this matter since they had arrived, thanks to his godly lineage. "How about…we have them swear off of loving men in a romantic way for all eternity. That way, they can still love their fathers and brothers if they so wish, and they are bound to you by their oath."

"Good." Artemis raised her voice. "Listen. All of you have been wronged by men. Be it rape, broken promises, abuse…you have been wronged. We, as in my friend"-she said friend as if it burned her mouth-"wish to save you. To protect you, and give you a family of kind, and understanding people. For this however, you must swear an oath of chastity, to I, your goddess Artemis, for all eternity."

Perseus would be lying if he said he wasn't shocked when not a single woman got up to leave. One by one, they made their oath, and Artemis grabbed Perseus and they all teleported to a large and grassy field.

"Now, my friend and I will give you our blessings. Mine will help you be faster and stronger, not to mention give you partial immortality. My friend's will likely just enhance the effect." Artemis said.

A little girl raised her hand. She had silky brown hair and soft green eyes, but her left eye was swollen shut and her cheek was bruised. "My lady, why is there a man here?"

Artemis pursed her lips, like she'd been hoping to dodge that question for as long as possible. "This is a new god, Perseus. He is the god of the Hunt, and patron to all women. It is only right that he watches over us." She sounded like disagreed, but managed to keep her tone from shaking.

The girl dropped to her knee, but Perseus touched her shoulder and pulled her up. He softly touched her cheek, and his fingers glowed. The bruise slowly faded. Next, he gently touched her eye, and the swelling reduced until it was nonexistent.

"Don't bow to me. Any of you." Perseus said kindly, but sternly. He smiled at the little girl. "What is your name, little one?"

"Chloe." The little girl replied while blushing. Perseus knew she wasn't blushing because she found him handsome; she was far too young for that.

"Well, Chloe, you're a bit too young for Lady Artemis' blessing. You don't want to be this young forever now, do you?" She shyly shook her head. "Well, until then, you can have mine. That way you can still stay with us and hunt, but you won't stop aging for a bit. How about that?"

Perseus touched her shoulder, and it glowed blue for a moment, before she stepped back. Artemis cleared her throat, "If you would start a line here."

And that was the start of the Hunt.

Author's Note 2: Yes, I'm aware Chloe isn't a traditional Greek name, but hey, I like it so that's what we're going with. Bye again.
