Introduction
After a bad fight with Apollo about not knowing what it was like to love or have children or have true friends. Artemis with the offer from a higher being decides to do the unthinkable. She decides to turn mortal and erase her memories till the proper time. She was reborn Lily Evans and this is her journey to change both herself and the world…But the Gods worry as they don't know her plans and with Artemis missing what will they do?
Chapter .1.
Artemis and Apollo were in the middle of the mother of all fights. Right in the middle of the Ballroom. With everyone watching. Nobody game enough to break the two up.
Apollo had been down about losing someone he loved and Artemis had retorted how often he slept around so how could this one be any different. And it had just escalated from there.
To all sorts of topics and age-old arguments.
Different between losing friends, lovers and family to Artemis seemingly not caring about anyone of the male gender. Even her own brother.
Finally Apollo just snaps.
"You are heartless Artemis. Absolutely heartless. Would it kill you to show even an ounce of compassion to your own twin brother? Oh right it would. Because you're a selfish, self-centred, self-absorbed little girl who doesn't know the first thing about lose and love. And never would. And even if you did try. As you are unable to find love in that cold heart of yours. And anyway you would fall as EVERYONE would quickly see how shallow and basically racist you our to the opposite gender. I pity the thought of anyone actually trying to be friends with you let along love you. Even if they are your own family and sometimes even through you preach about how you despise men, you sometimes even treat girls and women the same way when they find love. Even going as far to punish your Hunters servery when they fall in love even with their own gender!" Apollo shouts.
"What are you saying?" Artemis asks looking actually shaken, but only to Hestia's eyes.
"You're a bitch Artemis. A heartless bitch and I pity those that HAVE to spend time around you. So you will get what you want like always. I am DONE with you! I am DONE trying and trying for you to act like even a half decent sister to me. I am DONE with letting you bully me and those that choice to love! And I am DONE being your brother and something I'm not and being at your beck and call only when YOU decide it is convenient and wanting something. Get a new whipping boy as I am done trying to show you I still love you. When I know it is more worthless then getting Father to stop cheating on Hera! And I really could care less with what you know do in your life and I truly come to not stand your presence near those I care about!" Apollo shouts much to everyone's slight shock.
"You really hate me?" Artemis asks.
"Yes", Apollo growls.
"You really believe I don't care or have compassion?" Artemis asks sounding off.
"YES! Everyone does!" Apollo shouts and much to her horror they all nod but Hestia who looks saddened by what is happening.
"You really believe I don't know how to love?" Artemis asks her eyes looking blank.
"I KNOW you don't know how or WHAT love is", Apollo replies growling still very angry.
"You're really done?" Artemis asks something changing in her voice only to Hestia's ears.
"Yes", Apollo snarls his eyes flashing.
"You don't love me?" Artemis asks seeming only to Hestia to be truly shaken.
"No", Apollo says firmly his eyes as hard and as dark as diamonds.
"I…"
"What is so hard about this to understand?" Apollo shouts, "Grow up Artemis and get a reality check! Before you lose something more important to you then your own twin brother"
Silence was defending and then applause comes from around the audience.
Finally people were saying someone had put her in her place.
Artemis couldn't speak as she saw what she believed to be her brother turning away from her for the final time.
Artemis hides her distress. Shielding it from the huge audience that witnessed her humiliation and her destruction. And the day she lost the respect of her family and the day she lost her beloved brother.
People begin to gossip about what they had just witnessed.
"She is cold even after all of that"
"She would never know what it is like to sacrifice everything for a loved one"
"She got what she deserved"
"How Apollo put up with her all these years is beyond me"
"Someone should have dealt with her a long time ago"
"She gives a new meaning to the froze a frozen heart or a stone heart. You would think she was Khione"
"Hey I'm not that bad!"
Artemis discretely slipped out in a daze.
Her mind had gone blank and she felt the heart breaking pain in her heart and soul.
"Artemis, are you alright?" Hestia asks softly being the only one to notice her departure and the effect the fight had on her.
"Why wouldn't I be?" Artemis asks in a dead like voice, "As I don't have any love in my heart after all"
"I don't believe that for a second and I know you can love and you love deeply. As this wouldn't be hurting you so much if you didn't have a heart", Hestia tells her gently.
"Don't try to understand Hestia", Artemis replies her eyes scaring Hestia as they look like she had died inside.
"Maybe give him time to calm down", Hestia suggests.
"I don't think even time can heal this. This can't be fixed", Artemis replies starting to walk away.
"Everything can be fixed with time. Even things such as matters of the heart", Hestia replies.
"Nothing can change this", Artemis whispers flashing away leaving a sad Hestia.
Hestia hated it when her family fought. And she did believe that Apollo went a little bit too far.
Could this be what breaks the Moon Goddess?
Could this be her destruction or her salvation?
Would this be her guiding light or her darkest hour?
Would they be seeing her again anytime soon?
What had this fight cost ALL of them?
Hestia had a bad, bad, well very bad feeling about this…
And what nobody not even she knew was that this would be both good and bad...life changing and world altering...
But at what cost?
Artemis gets to a clearing and starting feeling everything she had been suppressing. And she let out a scream of emotional pain and falls to her knees.
How could he think of her that way?
How could he think she didn't love him?
Then different thoughts entered her head.
Did she really have a heart of ice?
Was she really incapable of love?
Did she really push everyone way?
Did this lead back to her choice all those centuries ago?
"Phoebe Artemis, daughter of Zeus and Leto, Elder twin sister of Phoebus Apollo, hear us", voice say, echoing around the clearing, "And hear what we offer"
"What can you possible offer someone who has lost everything? Who has lost the most important person in her life? Who might have made a big mistake all those centuries ago? Can you turn back the clock?"
"No but we can give you a chance"
"A chance for what? And who are you?" Artemis asks.
"A chance to find out who you are without the interference of your Godly body and the influences and decisions of the past"
"What are you saying?" Artemis asks brokenly as tears fall.
"What are you willing to do to see yourself for what and more important who you truly are? And are you willing to sacrifice everything? Even your Hunt, maybe your beliefs and opinions and your relationships? And even your old self?"
Artemis looks out at the setting sun. Thinking. What would she do? Was she willing to do whatever this person said to find out the truth about herself and maybe change herself, from the person she had made herself with that vow of maidenhood?
Then she realised she was willing to do to what needs to be done. To make up for centuries of mistakes.
For the sake of her much loved brother.
Then Artemis makes a life and world alternating decision. A decision that would change a world and the people in it. With just one word she would change everything. And alter the difference between love and hate, light and darkness, and good and evil.
"Yes"
And the world went black to her and the traces of her Godly being disappear from the Earth…
Not to be seen for what would seem like a lifetime...
And at this same time a prophecy was being said. By none other then the God of Prophecy himself…
