Yup. Second flashback. The story will maintain a third POV throughout the entire story. As always, review and enjoy!
John woke up. He had no idea what was... He suddenly remembered. He was in a war! He grabbed his M-16 and began firing. Yet again, he noticed an occasional flash of a purple shirt, or a bow rising. He dismissed those thoughts and returned to the battlefield. He was an empty shell though, he had no purpose to live. That was why he signed up. He hoped that a stray bullet would fly and take him away. Why? Because his girlfriend, who Jon was planning on proposing to, had confessed on cheating on him. He still bitterly remembered that night...
"John, I have to tell you something." said Daisy. John noted her sweet blonde hair and her shapely body.
"So do I!" said John.
"I'll go first. I'm breaking up with you." said Daisy flatly.
John dropped his jaw. This wasn't supposed to happen. He was about to ask who and why when Daisy walked out the door and left in a silver car. He dropped to his knees. From then on, he would not enjoy life as he used to. He became an empty shell of himself...
John was fighting so fiercely that he did not notice the Viet Cong sneak up on him. And just as the Viet was about to stab him, time slowed. John yelped in surprise. He did not know what was going on. Suddenly, he was teleported to the Council room, where an argument currently was taking place.
"He is a threat to us!" yelled Zeus.
"He is my son! I will not allow this!" yelled Poseidon.
"So you admit to breaking the oath!"
"Yes. Nevertheless, we WILL not destroy my child!"
John looked amazingly at the twelve giant beings circled around him and he decided that he was in heaven. Athena was the first to notice him.
"My lords, he is here." she interrupted.
Zeus looked at John with a look of pure hatred that John almost cried. Poseidon looked at him sadly. He knew that he had brought John a terrible fate by indulging himself. The gods would really never learn.
"Oh puhleez, give the poor boy a break. He just had the love of his life destroy him." said Aphrodite. It was then Artemis looked at John with curiosity. It was a rare occurrence for the woman to break the heart of the man. She
When Zeus had enough and decided to fry John, Poseidon stood up and the room shuddered. All the gods and goddesses stood up and prepared to side by Zeus or Poseidon. It was then Hera whispered in Zeus' ear and he grimaced. Meanwhile, John was standing rather left out when suddenly Zeus' voice boomed,
"Since my wife seems to favor you, I will not destroy you, right away, but instead I will make your life miserable as ever, starting by putting you in the Hunt."
"What?" said Artemis, outraged. Curiosity was one thing, but to have this MAN, in her area was unthinkable.
"Huh?" John was ignorant as ever, due to the fact that no one had bothered explaining.
"This subject is closed!" said Zeus, as he noticed the words of protest coming out of Artemis' mouth. He wanted to make John's life miserable, and paired with a man-hating goddess was pretty miserable, if you're a man.
Poseidon took pity on John and mentally filled his head with information, careful not to overload his brain.
And it was then, Artemis, goddess of the hunt, and the moon, first met John in what would be an uncomfortable for a long time.
WOOT! PLZ REVIEW as it keeps me motivated to write more. Thank you all.
