Child of the moon
Olympus, the key and anchor of the mythological world. It was from their that all of the gods powers gather with few exceptions. Even the Gods and Goddesses whose areas of power in which do not focus within Olympus do have at least a 'seat' of power in which they can use to represent their presence the most prominent of these being posiedon. His seat of power being based within the city of Atlantis, The city built under the sea and capitol of the underwater realms. But while he is upon the Lofty heights of Olympus he resides within his temple that was constructed there along with a throne for him on the council.
It is because of this that Artemis could get away with being away from her temple for as long as she did. Her Domains of power had barley infringed on the comings and goings of daily life, in fact it was only the fact that she had a minor domain over childbirth that she gained when she aided her mother with her twin. She gets away with being a minor domain over this aspect as eileithyia is the main patron of that domain. Considering that her domains supply her with considerable power and are vast in their aspect she is one of the most powerful gods on the council despite what some might think.
It was due to these reasons that causes the councils to gather upon the summit of Olympus. Right at the epi-center and focal point of the divine worlds power. These councils where to discuss the minutia of their world. From creatures causing trouble to wars on going even to the most mundane of things if they might need to be brought up the solstice council was the time to raise it.
Approaching the chamber we find Artemis walking dressed in her customary silver hunting outfit, Walking beside her was her twin Apollo. Since her daughter had joined the hunt she had withdrawn almost entirely from Olympus so that she could raise her daughter.
It was not long after the adoption thought that the camp had a unexpected visitor, Apollo. She really shouldn't have been surprised, he always had been a overprotective goof. Despite his negatives he was her twin and he would always look out for her. It was the same for his daughters. He might act like a play boy. He might BE a play boy. But no one would get near his daughters without him knowing nor their approval. Their was a reason the majority of the hunt were her nieces.
So when her twin decided to drop in randomly to tease his sister and daughters he got more than he had expected, as the first thing he saw was his sister playing with a infant with blood red hair and silver eyes. The poor mans mind could not handle the shock of the fact that after so long his sister had finally had a child, that it short circuited and he collapsed into a dead faint.
The memory of him fainting at the sight still brought a smile to Artemis's face as she walked towards the chamber remembering the blubbering mess that he had been reduced to under the power of Selene's silver puppy dog gaze. She really could get what she wanted from almost anyone in the hunt except her mother Artemis. Due to this she had turned into a mummies girl. It truly was adorable.
"Your thinking about her aren't you little sis?" inquired her brother causing her to glance sideways at him. It was coming up to three years since she had gained her daughter and in that time both her and her brother had reconnected.
"yes, yes I am but what do you expect?" Artemis replied with a quirked crimson eyebrow and a smirk on her elegant face. This caused the blond to chuckle as he folded his hands behind his head as they entered the room and headed for their respective thrones.
"well I didn't expect anything else but you do realise the She will expect to meet her soon" Apollo said quietly his eyes darting around taking in the surroundings.
The room was filled with the other Olympians most of which where already in their own thrones either doing their own thing or arguing. Too busy to care about a quiet conversation between brother and sister no matter how abnormal it was for them to be … civil.
"yes I know, I was planning to take her to meet mother on her birthday, mother would like that yes?" was Artemis reply in her most innocent tone when combined with the fact that she was in her child form at the moment made her sound like a school girl promising to be good.
She glanced at the shock in her brothers face and almost giggled, Apollo and Hermes where known for being a bit of pranksters and having a mischievous side but what most did not know was that given the right conditions Artemis herself was worse than her brother, what made it annoying to him though was because she spent most of her free time in her child form she could be caught in the act and still get away with it with those big silvery doe eyes of hers.
Damn the fates!
the twins had not yet realised it but due to their reputations of having a frosty relation ship to see both of the twins actually acting like siblings was more disorientating than most things so when Artemis reached her seat and quickly smacked her brother in retaliation for possibly ruining her reputation that she has worked to cultivate, the others knew something was up.
"Apollo I have worked to hard on my reputation for you to ruin it with a bad attempt at puppy dog eyes any way Selene does it more successfully than you." Artemis said in a 'authoritative voice that was broken with a under current of giggles.
"Ahh yeah Selene that reminds me what are you going to tell father about her" her twin asked a hint of worry in his voice, neither noticing the volume of noise dropping off. "Hmm It has been shown that Father has a decided weakness to his little girls." Artemis said contemplatively with a finger on her chin as she thought about what her twin had said.
"While he has no problem rejecting and destroying most problems caused by you Ares and the others. When it is myself or Athena we are at a decided advantage due to being his little girls." this caused her brother to nod reluctantly.
"I see" replied Apollo, The room deafeningly quiet now. "At Least you know roughly what your plan will be for when father finds out about your daughter" "WHAT!" came a roar from across the room. Artemis and Apollos heads snapped round only now noticing the quiet of the chamber and that every one had been staring at them.
Some where smile at them like Hera and Aphrodite others where confused such as Demeter and hephestus. "What is it Father?" Artemis asked as sweetly and politely as she could of her father while wondering how far she could get this.
"When where you planning on telling us you had broken your vow daughter" he demanded glaring across at her. Taking a deep breath and a sigh she took the plunge it was now or never It was also the only way for her Precious Selene to be accepted.
"Well Father If you must know I have not 'broken my vow." this caused a sceptical look to cross his face. "If you must know I remembered a few encounters I had with Hecate chosen. Or as you might remember them the magical world." At this a frown crossed his face as he really did not like that their was a group that knew about the god but where separate from the gods jurisdiction out their. In his opinion it was asking for trouble.
The relationship between the demi-gods/gods and the magical s was basically a you ignore us we ignore you and most of the go between being done by one or two deities whose domains require the interaction, such as Artemis in her hunts.
"I had been feeling off lately and I didn't know why it was causing me to be off my equilibrium, so one day I went to Hecate to see if she could help as she has obscure cures to obscure things and at the time I didn't want my brother knowing." at this she looked down a light blush dusting her cheeks in embarrassment. "The Cure that she came up with was ...Unconventional. She gave me a Divine magic empowered Blood adoption potion."
This caused a slight gasp to go round the room at the implications from the few who knew. "This my daughter was abandoned by her parents before I took her in as my daughter and lady Hera I have seen her memories she was born within wedlock despite her abandonment and her adoption into a new family." This caused the Queen to smile as her domains had been satisfied for once by a Demigod.
"Hmm I understand my Daughter I wish to gaze upon my... Grand-child" Zeus said.
Artemis looked at her father with suspicion in her eyes before giving in ." As you wish father but I swear on my throne if you hurt my child while she is here..." she left the threat hanging as one of the most dangerous things in the wild was a mother whose child was threatened. And with that she Flashed to the hunt to collect Selene.
