Chapter .2.
Athena had put the unconscious Artemis on the bed. As she waited for Hestia, Hermes and Hecate too arrive. She could tell something was around Artemis's neck but she couldn't see it. But she had a feeling of dread just looking at Artemis. Something was horribly wrong.
She leaves Artemis when she hears the sound of people arriving in her Temple. She finds the three people she called for there looking at her with curiosity.
"What is going on Athena?" Hestia asks.
"And why call me?" Hecate asks.
"And me?" Hermes asks.
Athena explains what she had witnessed. Which shocked the three. Athena saw Hecate's look it was one of suspicion and maybe recognition.
"Do you know what is going on Hecate?" Athena asks the Goddess of Magic.
"I might. But I hope and pray I'm wrong. Where is she?" Hecate asks.
"My bedroom", Athena states leading them to her room.
Artemis was still unconscious. Hecate begins to wave her hands chanting in a Ancient language. Athena, Hermes, and Hestia gasp at seeing the truth off Artemis. The eight collars around her neck. The metal bands on her ankles, wrists and neck. And they saw the two brands on her face. They didn't want to really know if there were more under her clothes.
"What the hell?" Hermes exclaims.
Hecate looked grim.
"What is that?" Hestia asks softly.
"The black collar is the collar of a bound slave", Hecate reveals.
"A bound slave? I have never heard of it", Athena asks, not liking the fact she didn't know about something.
"You wouldn't have heard of it. Because all the ancient scrolls and texts were removed. But a bound slave is bound by magical in a ritual that has the woman bound for the rest of her life", Hecate replies.
"Bound how?" Athena asks.
"By oral, anal and…vaginal sex with an ancient spell. Those three rites bind the woman to a man till he gives her to someone or she is transferred to someone else. Unless they love bond", Hecate reveals.
"You mean she would have had to have sex?" Hermes asks shocked.
"Yes", Hecate states.
"But she would never", Hermes says.
"It wouldn't be her choice. Besides the slave bound collar she has a Sexual Collar on. She would have been begging her Master to take her. Her mouth would beg but she would still be aware of what was happening. But be unable to stop it herself from asking, well begging for it", Hecate replies.
"So she was raped?" Hestia asks shocked, "By Zeus?"
"Yes to raped. But over time her mind won't see it as rape", Hecate replies.
"What else can you tell us about a bound slave?" Athena asks.
"They are bound for life, well in Artemis's case for eternity even if she was to reform, bound in Will, Body, Mind, Soul, Heart, Voice, Loyalty, Faith, Devotion, Being, Name, Power, Magi, Spirit, Essence and Everything else they are", Hecate replies grimly, "She would have no choice but to obey him. She wouldn't be able to go against him. If she tried that other black collar would punish her violently and so would her Master. As she had whip marks on my scan and so much more. That punishment collar also has the cruel side of making her tell her Master her needed punishment. Artemis would also be unable to say no too. No is not really a word in a Slaves vocabulary. Especially with men"
"So today at Council it wasn't her idea about Apollo and Meg?" Athena asks.
"No it wouldn't be. Her Master probably ordered her and the Mind, Loyalty and Voice bind would make her do it", Hecate replies.
"What about the…sexual collar?" Hermes asks hesitantly.
"It would amplify her Lust, Arousal, Passion, Pleasure, Desire, Craving needs as well as her Sexual Want and Sexual eagerness needs and increase her orgasms", Hecate replies scanning the collar.
"Shit", Hermes says growling.
"Poor Artemis", Hestia says stroking Artemis's hair.
"Also her lips will clamp shut by metal as punishment and as I said the collar would make her tell her Master how serve to punish herself and so would the bond. If that punishment is not met dangerous consequences can happen", Hecate says grimly.
"Can you do anything about it Hecate? Even through you can't remove the bind of a slave", Athena asks.
"I can transfer her ownership. That means her bonds will shift to that person and she would be able to betray and talk about her last Master. It is why Masters rarely sell their slaves without wiping their minds. As I said their Minds are bound to their Master and they have no defence against mental attacks from them", Hecate replies.
"Can you shift it too me? And stop the sex stuff?" Athena asks.
"I can. But I can put a spell on her so she can when the need gets too great feel the sexual feelings she will continue to crave even after changing owners. Would that work?" Hecate asks.
"Yes. Do it", Athena replies.
"Then repeat these words…"
"I Lady Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, Battle Strategy, Civilization, Mathematics, Defence Warfare, Crafts, the Arts and Skill. Take Slave Artemis, Goddess of the Moon, Hunt, Wilderness, Forests, Chastity, Archery, Childbirth and formerly Maidenhood as my slave. I am her Master in everyway. Your/her Will, Body, Mind, Soul, Heart, Voice, Loyalty, Faith, Devotion, Being, Name, Power, Magi, Spirit, Essence and everything she is, is mine and she will obey my commands. Can't and won't betray me and keep my secrets. So I say, so smote it me, for all times so shall it be", Athena declares.
A black ball of light flashes across Artemis's head, neck where her voice box is and several other places and her black collar changes slightly. Hecate chants something else and a pink and red ball of light hits Artemis.
"That will take care of her sexual need", Hecate explains to their curious looks.
They see Artemis stirring slightly now.
"Give her a couple of minutes to gather herself. She will be confused as her all her bonds had just changed person", Hecate tells them.
"So how do we approach this?" Hermes asks quietly and nervously.
"First you need to know any order or a joke order will be obeyed by Artemis. She can't really disobey. Remember the vows she is bound in Will, Body, Mind, Soul, Heart, Voice, Loyalty, Faith, Devotion, Being, Name, Power, Magi, Spirit, Essence and Everything else she is. And we don't know her permeant orders that a First time Master would have given her", Hecate warns them.
They begin to discuss what to do…
Artemis was confused she felt different, and this bed was too comfortable to be hers and it definably wasn't her Masters or his associates.
She heard whispering. She opens her eyes expecting some form of punishment for unintentional falling asleep. But she looked to see Athena, Hestia, Hecate and Hermes. They were looking at her sadly and with so much compassion.
Artemis looks at herself and her brands and collars were showing. Making her panic. How could they see them?
"It is alright Artemis. We know you're a slave. And that we can't free you", Athena says softly.
Artemis looks up and opens her mouth to speak even though she knows she can't.
"She can't speak without permission around her Masters/Mistresses", Hecate tells them.
"Artemis I give you permission to talk", Athena tells her.
"Why is Dog here Mistress?" Artemis asks.
She gasps realising she had called Athena Mistress. She normally wouldn't be able to unless Zeus gave her permission to use names or Master or Mistress then their names. And she had called herself dog. And she couldn't do those things with people who didn't know what she was.
So did that mean they knew?
"Hecate had transferred your ownership too me for now", Athena tells her seeing her confusion.
"Can IT ask how Mistress?" Artemis stutters.
Hecate explains the old ritual of transfer but it required that some small part off Artemis wanting it. To work. Hecate also told her about the Sex spell.
"Dog thanks you Mistress Hecate", Artemis whispers.
"Artemis I know who your old Master was but can you confirm?" Athena asks gently.
"It was Master Zeus, Mistress. He and Master Ares. Mistress Hera and Mistress Circe helped too", Artemis replies truthful.
Athena and Hermes were furious. How dare they? Artemis whimpers at their looks and Hestia shhs her and runs a hand through her hair.
"Sorry Artemis", Hermes tells her.
"You don't need to call those four Masters any more", Athena tells her.
"But all males who aren't ITS Master get called that plus their names. Same with females. With those in the know", Artemis replies obediently.
"How able Lord and Lady?" Hermes suggests.
"It might work Master Hermes", Artemis replies softly.
"Artemis you can call Zeus, Ares Lords and Hera and Circe Ladies. And anyone else who is in league with Zeus", Athena orders her.
Artemis nods feeling the command wash over her.
"Whore feels your command Mistress", Artemis replies.
"Artemis can you explain how you became this way?" Athena asks.
Artemis begins at Apollo's banishment where she tried to help him to what she remembers up to Athena knocked her out.
They look at her sadly. She had been through so much just because she wanted to help her brother.
"So Zeus said he was the God of Slaves, Darkness, Tyranny? And Heir of Evil?" Athena asks.
"Yes Mistress", Artemis replies.
"Who else do you know are in on all this tyranny?" Athena asks.
"Lady Enyo, Lady Nike, Lord Cupid, Lady Khione, Lord Deimos…", Artemis quietly lists them off with Athena taking notes off the names.
"Did all the males…have sex with you?" Hermes asks hesitantly.
"Yes Master Hermes. It is Sluts job to please men", Artemis replies and her collar glows pinkish red.
She moans in pleasure. Athena and the others look confused.
"It is just my spell pleasing her. Unless you what a male to physically do it", Hecate explains.
"No this is definitely better", Athena states.
Soon Artemis stops moaning and had a pleased look on her face.
"Artemis want are your collars?" Athena asks.
"Sex Collar, Punishment Collar, Shocking Collar, Voice Bind Collar, Obedience Collar, a Collar to red my thoughts, Force Awareness Collar, and Senses Sensitivity Collar Mistress", Artemis replies
"What are your permanent orders?" Hecate asks.
The others look at her confused.
"All slaves that are newly bond get a list off permeant orders they have to follow even when they change owners", Hecate explains.
"There are 35 orders Mistress Hecate. Would you like Slut to say them Mistress?" Artemis asks.
"Yes say them all", Athena orders.
Artemis lists all 35 off. And the four Gods all wanted to kill Zeus. He had made sure she was humiliated as much as possible
"I can probably change the two orders that go with her brother. And the one with nakedness. If you agree Athena", Hecate says.
Artemis looks at her New Mistress hopeful.
"I agree", Athena says softly with a kind smile at Artemis.
Hecate chants and Artemis felt the two orders dissolve in her mind.
"That is all I can change with the permeant orders", Hecate replies tiredly.
"Hermes get some ambrosia for Hecate", Athena says.
Hermes nods and rushes out then is back with some ambrosia and nectar.
"Artemis want would you like to do now?" Athena asks gently.
Artemis was surprised with that question. Nobody really had asked what she wanted for longer then she remembered.
"Mistress Slut wants her brother. Please. Please Whore wants her brother. I am sorry Mistress but I want my brother", Artemis begs starting to cry.
Hestia pulls her into a hug.
"You have nothing to be sorry for", Hestia tells her rubbing her back, "Does she Athena?"
"No you don't. You have been through a lot and will continue to do so. And you need your twin by your side. Would you like him to be your primary master?" Athena asks gently.
Athena and the others saw some hope in Artemis's eyes.
"Please Mistress. Dog will do anything you ask. Please…", Artemis begs sobbing.
"Then we will take you too him. Then gather allies. We will meet at Camp Half-Blood and go from there. I won't tell them about your status yet. But you will have permission to tell Apollo", Athena tells Artemis.
Artemis nods wiping her tears. Her metal bands rattling.
"What are they?" Hermes asks.
"They are manacles that can be activated by my Master and those in the know. They are fused to me Master Hermes like the potions Lady Circe gave me. They mark my enslavement as well as the brands on my face and body", Artemis replies sadly.
"What potions?" Hecate asks
"Sensitivity, Obedience, Voice Binding, Submissive and like the Sexual Collar but in potion form Mistress Hecate. They are now soaked into every part of my body and ichor", Artemis tells them
"Can we get rid of them?" Athena asks.
"No Mistress Athena. These potions are bound to my ichor and can't be separated from me. Even in death", Artemis replies and they could see the pain in her eyes.
"She is correct. Even in death these collars and potions still we be with her", Hecate replies.
"That is horrible", Hestia says with sad eyes.
"Artemis would you like a shower before we take you too Apollo?" Athena asks gently.
"If it isn't too must trouble Mistress. Slave won't be long IT swears", Artemis says submissively.
"Take as much time as you need", Athena tells her gently.
"I'll get clean clothes for you", Hestia says softly.
Artemis bows to Athena and Hestia then moves to the bathroom.
"You will have to get used to this Artemis. These patterns and orders are now integrated in her. She can't stop herself from those behaviours. That is why the Slave Bind is permeant unless they die. But because Artemis is a Goddess she will be one for eternity even if we kill her and she reforms or even in the realm of the faded", Hecate explains to her.
"I swear I am going to murder Zeus in the most painful way", Athena growls.
"I am with you. And we should humiliate him like he did too Artemis", Hermes adds.
"I just can't believe that he had been able to hide all this and his likeness to our father", Hestia tells them.
"Would him being the God of Slaves effect ownership of Artemis?" Athena asks Hecate.
"Yes. But if Artemis and Apollo agree I can make the bond permeant. He just needs to swear on Chaos's name and Artemis must accept out of love. And only Chaos can unbind that oath", Hecate replies.
"Then we will explain that to them both. But we need allies and I know where to start", Athena tells them.
"Will who?" Hermes asks.
"Poseidon. His loyalty is strong and he would never agree with Zeus when he learns about Artemis. I will start there. And go through the other Council members but Zeus, Ares, and Hera", Athena explains her plan.
"What can we do?" the others ask.
"We need the two Camps borders enforced Hecate can you…"
Camp Half-Blood
Apollo had returned to Camp Half-Blood after the disastrous meeting. He had cooled off some. And now that he could think clearly he thought Artemis behaviour was strange. She hadn't acted like herself. Sure they had their differences but they had always been there for each other. Well that was before he was banished this time. And he had only gotten her help at New Rome. So that was strange.
"What are you thinking about?" Meg asks as they walk through camp.
"Artemis", Apollo states simply.
"What about Artemis?" Meg asks.
"Something wasn't right with her. She would normally stick up for me. That was before I was banished though", Apollo replies thinking hard.
"If your sure maybe you should seek her out. Or wait to she comes to pick up her Hunters", Meg advises.
The Hunters had been staying at Camp for a while. Thalia had told him that Artemis had ordered that weeks ago. And she hadn't got any farer instructions.
Again that wasn't like Artemis.
Suddenly a flash of light hits the middle off the Camp. And everyone sees Athena and Hecate with a scared and uncertain looking Artemis in between them.
"Artemis?" Apollo asks seeing the scared look.
Artemis looks at Athena for permission. A sad fact for Athena. As Artemis had been so independent.
"I give you permission to go to him", Athena says.
That was all Artemis needed to hear and she flies into Apollo. Apollo's arms immediately and instinctively go around her.
He was confused why was Artemis sobbing in his arms clinging to him. And sobbing silently. Why did he feel a strange energy around her?
Why was she so scared?
Why were Athena and Hecate looking at Artemis sadly?
He decided to wait to ask. Right now it seemed that his sister just needed comfort and his support.
No matter how much she betrayed him. He would always be there to comfort and support her and she obviously needed it now more than ever.
But the question was.
Why?
