Child of the moon
Selene loved her life. She knew that most girls would hate it as it didn't have the so called 'creature comforts' that they had but what she did have was worth the trade. She had the hunt. The fabled and famed huntresses of her mother Artemis, So famous that legends of them had filtered and lasted throughout time in even the mundane world.
Though some of the legends as would naturally do when being rediscovered or passed down from ancient times have become slightly muddled which naturally annoyed her mother to no end.
Being raised in a Camp with only immortal girls, all of whom were leery about being near males due to having being on the receiving end of the worst of the gender was interesting as Selene heard many horror stories of what the gender had done to her family. So when she was told that she was adopted and was originaly a boy she broke down into tears thanking her confused mother for saving her from being cursed as such.
It was then her mother had seen some of the damage that had been done to her daughter by only having the exclusive company of her huntresses. Knowing that Selene was blessed by hecate she came up with a plan to undo at least some of the unintentional damage.

Artemis was in Olympus walking at a brisk pace towards her goal. Her mind busy with thoughts as she needed to get this over with. Things had been getting busier for the hunt as of late, and with the Grand prophecy approaching she needed to get everything sorted.
The other gods might be or play blind to what was going on but she was the goddess of the hunt she always knew when a demi-god new demigod on the move. Her connection to the wilderness and hunting giving her a form of limited omniscience in woodland areas.
So when her hunt ran into the girl Thalia grace and her friends she instantly knew who her father was. Luckily the meeting was late at night and her daughter was asleep in her tent next to her own. So far the only Demi-gods that know of Selene are those within the hunt. Once the daughter of lightning and her party left the huntress did a quick check and she found traces of the ocean within central park.
She never understood the vow that the three made as over all the years of the gods. Out of all the prophecies made none have been straight forward, all have held double or even triple meanings and fighting them only made things worse as they are always inevitable.
Arriving at hekates temple she knocked the door with a pulse of her aura to let the goddess know who it was seeking an audience.
"welcome lady of the hunt" came a voice from within. "I thank you Lady of crossroads" said Artemis with a bowed head knowing that while hekate may be classed as a minor goddess she was in fact a Titan with some very powerful domains. There was a reason that she could hide an entire 'world' on her own power after all.
"What can I do for you today?" Asked the hostess looking deep into the troubled silver eyes of the huntress. "I need your help, it is not easy to ask but I would like for Selene to go to one of your blesseds schools to allow her to acclimatize being around males. She has Grown up with the hunt and in my joy at having a child I missed the possibilities that environment could cause." As the huntress finished she sat in a chair her hands clasped looking truly worried as she nibbled her lower lip. "I just wish the best for my daughter" she whispered.
The Lady of magic nodded. "I was going to broach the subject of her magic to you soon anyway, I am currently Teaching in Ilvermorny, This would allow me to keep an eye on her for you and if she has problems talk to her." at this Artemis looked up with a sparkle in her eye.
"She will be able to return to your hunt during the holidays, sound fair?" nodding with a big smile "yes it is a large relief, I can start to relax a bit" replied Artemis.
"Good now off with you, I have grading to do." leaving with a chuckle the huntress flashed back home to the woodlands.

"Selene, there you are I have some good news." her mother announce just as she shot another perfect bullseye in a archery competition she was having with some of the new huntresses. "Ohh what news is this mother?" she asked wondering what had gotten her mother so excited.
"As you know there are other forms of magic out there yes? From godly magic to demigod magic, to mist crafters, and finally what is known as hekate's blessed. You my dear daughter fall into the later category." hearing this Selene nodded. She had seen and heard about the different magics in the world heck she was even starting to be taught by one of the daughters of hekate that is within the hunt. So it was not a surprise.
"Well I had a chat with the Lady of cross roads and we came to the conclusion that in a couple of years it would be good for you to go to the school that she is currently working at." this shocked the girl, leave the hunt, her sisters, her parents. She had never done that. It … frightened her.
" Now I know what your thinking my daughter but let me explain the why first." after getting a shaky nod the lady of the hunt continued. "we think it would be good for you to learn some independence as you have been with the hunt your hole life and this has effected you outlook. It will also let you see how the world is without the lense of the hunt. I am aware of the prejudices my hunters have but I want you to make up your own mind." At this the Goddess pulled her daughter into a gentle caress becoming the loving mother that the girl has always known.
"Also just think of the fun you get to have learning how to use magic? Hmm?"she said with a smile. Selene had to agree it did sound fun even with the little she already knew she had come up with so many ways to prank her uncle apollo when he drops by unannounced.
Maybe it was not that bad an idea. And from what her newer sisters had said the schools they went to had breaks so she could always come back home during those.

And thus The daughter of the moon decided that she would return to the world of magic. A world that had only just learned of her disappearance. A world that was in a uproar as not only did they not know that she existed, or how to find her.
But as with all things, some are just inevitable.
