Prolog
Artemis stared in Horror at what she had done, shock written all over her face. She had not expected it to work. Yes, Athena does it all the time, but that didn't mean just anyone could do it. Now she was left staring at her most beautiful and terrifying creation... children. She just made babies. From her head... just a thought and they were here brought into the world subconsciously. Twins and one of them was a boy! The fact that the man-hating goddess had created a son was enough to shock alone. It wasn't as if she had given up her maidenhood or anything, no she was still pure.
But if anyone found out that these two existed, they might be taken, used, or destroyed by some twisted form of fate. Even if one was a boy, she didn't wish that for either of them. A soft sob escaped her lips. What was she to do now? She couldn't keep them. The gods were not allowed to raise their demigod children. Oh, why hadn't she thought to make them immortal? Gently she reached out and brushed the soft cheek of the girl's face. So pretty, so bright. Glancing at the boy, she pondered him. His curly reddish-brown hair and his chubby face, it reminded her of when Apollo was born. Then she chuckled. Of course, twins ran in the family, so it made sense that her first children would be twins. Her precious twins. Both their silver eyes were haunting, almost like looking into a mirror.
Bracing herself for what came next, she pulled her hand away and straightened her back. "You know what must be done?" Her voice was calm and cold as her gaze settled on one on her hunters the young woman wore a white jacket and held a kind expression on her face. Her blond hair braided neatly on either side of her face. "My lady I will not fail you." She bowed deeply to Artemis. "You understand that if anything were to happen to them while they were under your care, I would not be able to forgive you." "Yes. I will protect them with my life."
"Amanda Snow, you can no longer be a huntress do to the fact that you have fallen in love with another. You no longer have any reason to be loyal to me. Still, I beg of you to watch over them. Let them grow and be happy. Let them know what it is like to be loved. I can not show them any of my own love so let them know the love of a different mother." Both women gazed at each other for a long moment. "I cannot bear to give them names only to hand them off afterward. Instead, I offer gifts to ensure that they are able to take care of themselves when they are older."
The goddess of the hunt removed two hair clips from her Auburn hair and handed them to Amanda. "These will become weapons of protection when they need it most. I will ensure that you have enough money to take care of them as well." Amanda accepted the clips and slowly took the twins into her arms. "Are you sure of this? Once this is done it cannot be undone." The goddess nodded and turned away. "Go now."
With that Amanda left with a twin in each arm. "Don't worry, I will take good care of you. First things first though, you need names." She looked down at the boy first as he squirmed around in her arm. "Maximus, It means greatness. For you will be my greatest gift." Looking at his sister she cooed. "And you are Cassandra, it means to shine. You will shine brighter than anything." She could see the lights of the town up ahead. "Let's go home."
