Winter solstice

Olympus was manic it was always the busiest time of the year all 12 Olympians including hades and Hestia attended the meeting, everybody was arguing Zeus, Poseidon and hades were in a heated conversation about who is the strongest. Apollo and Hermes were playing pranks on Ares and so on; the only one that was quiet was Artemis she was mourning over her lost son.

Flashback

a man was carrying a basket through the woods muttering to himself "I can't wait to get rid of you my life will be so much better your mother is dead and you will be out of my life soon" but the man never knew there was a group of girls watching up in the trees, he chucked the basket on the floor and you could hear a little baby in the basket cry out.

Artemes : pov

I can't believe what I just seen no wonder why I hate men so much, I jumped down from the branch I was on with my hunters right behind me the man turned towards me with a sneer on his face.

"Who are you"? "Get out of here before I make you". The man said to me.

"I will not give my name to a disgusting pig like you and why I am here is I'm going to take that baby then I'm going to deal with you". I replied.

"Ha-ha"! He just laughed then swung at me I duck under his strike and my hunting knife went through his heart he was dead instantly I knew I should of changed him into a Jacklope instead so my hunters could have some fun, then I heard a little cry I went over to the basket and saw a baby boy he had jet black hair and green eyes it looked like he was starved so I picked him up and the crying stopped instantly.

"Awe milady he's so cute", daisy said to me. her mother is Aphrodite so it makes sense that she would think that, I looked at him more closely he was looking at me with curiosity then he smiled at me and I couldn't help think daisy was right. "Zoe" I called out to my lieutenant.

"Yes milady" she said.

"Set up camp just by the river"I replied.

"hat about the baby lady Artemis he is a boy"she said pointing at the baby. The baby didn't look comfortable with her pointing at him so he snuggled up more in my chest I couldn't help smile at that thinking to myself Artemis the man hater is smiling at the little boy in her arms.

"he shall stay with us for now we can't leave this innocent child out here all alone"I replied all the hunters nodded I smiled back and carried the baby to our camp I sat on my bed inside of my tent while the baby was in my hands. He reached up and grabbed my hand in his little one.

"who's a cute baby"I cooed.

He giggled at me. Oh Styx I can't let this baby go and plus I could tell he is a demigod and he will be a powerful one I snapped my fingers and a crib was by the side of my bed I gently put him in there and kissed his forehead he fell straight to sleep I smiled and went outside of my tent. "hunters i called out.

" yes milady" pheobe said.

"I think we should keep the child in the hunt with us".As soon as I said that all the hunters were arguing it's a boy though, all boys are evil. " hunters listen to reason"I said they all quietened down looking at me expectantly.

"He is a demigod I don't know who is godly parent is but I know he will be powerful when he grows up, we can't let such an innocent child face the world when he can't even walk or talk plus maybe we can teach him to be the first good male in history". I said with a smirk knowing the hunters will agree.

One by one they all nodded and smiled.

"Milady what will you name him cause you're his mother now?"My youngest hunter Lucy said with her grey eyes shining at me, I cringed when she said mother all the hunters giggled. But if I am going to raise him I will be his mother the first son of the moon.

"What about Perseus",I said and they all agreed all of to bed now we will be training tomorrow so goodnight my girls I said walking back to my tent they all said the farewell's and departed to their tents.

When I got in my tent I saw young Perseus was awake with his arms stretched out to me I picked him up and I could tell by his emotions that he felt safe and loved by me what shocked me the most though was his eyes when I looked at them they changed colours to exactly like my silver one's with a hint of sea green I have never seen anything like that in my entire life it was like he was my real child but saying that he will be my boy a real hunter.

I set him back down and got changed out of my hunters outfit and got in bed god night my child.

Flashback end

"Artemis!"my father said I turned to him and from his facial features he knew how upset I was.

Artemis dear why don't you back to your hunters you don't have to be here right now, he said.

With a sad smile I replied" thank you father"

I flashed out my hunters were having dinner I said softly "I am of to bed girls goodnightI am of to bed girls goodnight". They all looked at me with a sorrowful look; I got in my tent and sighed and got into bed I closed my eyes drifted off into Morpheus's realm hopefully i can have a good dream for once.
