"What are you doing young man," says Rick Riordan as I pull a gun on him.

"You know the drill. Say it!" I say with my finger on the trigger. He looks at me then the gun, then me again, and sighs, saying "Anything that you don't recognize belongs to BlackRoyalty. I own everything else, so all rights go to me"

I put the gun away and say "Now was that so hard?" and walk away.

Artemis was calm now that Kynigós and his father, Ezekiel, are safe. She hopes that Hecate can keep her mouth shut. Her heart ached for the man that captured her heart. Artemis felt conflicted between the fact that she may never see him again and the fact that she should be angry with Zeke. But he still promised to love her, even if she wasn't supposed to love him.
Just thinking about him made her want to go back into his arms. She blushed at that thought and pushed it out of her mind. His words came back to her: Rise of evil, Rise above the universe, I love only you, so it is not a curse
(AN: I came up with it)

She was at peace with herself for 5 seconds, before Apollo into her palace with a frantic look on his face. Artemis grabbed her bow out of instinct but put it back down when she realized who it was, her silver eyes flaring up in annoyance.

"What do you want, brother?" She said while moving to put her bow up. She was just about to drive the moon chariot when Apollo said something that chilled her to the bone: "I know about your son!"

In the span of another 5 seconds, Artemis had judo-flipped her brother onto the ground with both of his hands behind his back, demanding that he speak nothing of this, saying that if He laid a hand of Kynigós and Zeke, Artemis actually would 'rid him of his manhood. Apollo had not expected her to say that about the boy's father, who Apollo had suspected of forcing Artemis.

Apollo swore upon the Styx not to reveal anything without her permission. She let him up. He brushed the dirt off his coat.

"So what are you going to do? If Father finds out about this, he will kill the boy and his father, regardless of you being one of his favorite daughters due to the fact he is a firstborn. Uncle P and H will be cool or not care. Aphrodite will pester you about the "details" of what you and this man 'did'. Hermes will be cool with this. Your fellow maiden friends will exclude you from their circle." said Apollo, his sky blue eyes filled with concern.

"I love them," says Artemis with conviction and burst into tears. Apollo nodded, knowing that love can do things to people. He hugged her as she calmed down. Artemis told Apollo where Zeke and her 'Little moon' lived. Apollo chuckled at the nickname she gave her son. Apollo gave her a ring.

"For your little moon," Apollo chuckled

Artemis blushed furiously, stammering, "S-s-shut up."

Unbeknownst to the siblings, a certain god of strength had heard everything and got going to that address.


Kynigós was asleep.

Unfortunately, he just mysteriously woke up, causing a Black 16-year-old boy, bursting into the room to quiet the baby down. Zeke shushed the baby back to sleep and went back to bed, proud of himself for being a lucky man to father the boy of a woman who is literally a Goddess. He has accepted that she'll have limited contact with him and the child but was happy that she'll be there for them in any way she can.

The doorbell rang and as Zeke walked towards it, he felt tired. He looked through the peephole but no one was there. He then pulled out the hunting knives Artemis gifted him with.

He cautiously walked toward the door, knife in each hand. Zeke opened the door, but nothing was there except a silver box in the shape of a heart along with a 3 1/2 foot long package. Zeke sighed in relief and put the knives away. He picked up the box and opened it. Inside were an amulet and a pair of different hunting knives. The amulet is a yin-yang pendant. The daggers beautiful but different and both arm-length blades with 6-inch handles. He opens the package and saw two beautiful swords.

A/N: If you want to see what weapons look like, go to WattPad, search 'DarkWielder'. Im posting it on there too because they allow pictures

Zeke touched the daggers and swords and bright silver light emitted from them, almost blind him. Zeke opens his eyes and sees the daggers turn into golden earrings and the swords into bracelets when the light faded.

Zeke decided to save the rings for his tenth birthday. He'd give Haneul the amulet for his fifth birthday. He looked in the box more a found a note.

I want you to be with me. I will find a way for it to happen. Just wait for me if you can. For my little moon's sake, find a place in Manhattan. It's where Camp Half-Blood is. Try to stay away from other goddesses... scratch that, your charm could catch any female being. I want you to have Ky embrace his 'Warrior's Hunger', a quality prominent in nearly all Firstborn demigods. Raise him well into your morals so that he becomes a man like you

I love you,
Your Moonbeam :)

Zeke closes the door, chuckled, and went back to bed with a smile on his face.


Until Zeke heard another knock at his door. Zeke grabbed his knives again, annoyed. He opened the door, On his porch was a sleeping baby boy in a cradle wrapped in blankets with a note in his hand:
Please take care of him. he has nowhere else to go.
He just smiled, pick the baby up, put him next to his son's crib, and went back to bed.


12 years later

*At Olympus*

Artemis was biting her nails furiously. She was about to let the Council and her Hunt know she had broken her oath. She shoots a signal arrow into the middle of the room, calling a meeting. All the gods flashed in nearly instantly. Ares was the last to appear. Artemis snapped her hands, flashing all her hunters instantly. All the gods were in mortal size

"Why have you called this meeting, sister?" says Athena. "Is about the spike in monster activity?"

"No, sisters, It's about something more...personal," Says Artemis, trying to make her words come out. This was her first time being in this situation.

Suddenly, she felt a warm touch accompanied by warmth. Artemis relaxed at her Aunt Hestia's touch. She was one of the ones who knew about her child, even supporting her along with Apollo, who was actually elated to have a nephew from her.

She steeled herself and opened up with "I'm not a virgin. I broke my oath willingly. I have a son"

It was complete silence for 7 seconds. Then all hell broke loose.
Aphrodite started squealing like a fangirl. Hermes, Poseidon, and Hades gave her looks of curiosity. Hephaestus and Ares look at Aphrodite, wondering if she had something to do with this. Zeus was pissed. Athena and Hera looked like they already knew and smiled. Dionysus didn't really care. Everyone was screaming and yelling in her defense and against her.
Her hunter's reactions were most hurtful to her. Most were outrage until Reyna, A daughter of Bellona screamed, "SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

It got everyone's attention. She then said, "Milady said willingly, which means he must be part of the 3% of good men left in this world, otherwise she wouldn't have broken her oath!"

This calmed down most of the Hunt along with some of the gods against her. Zeus was enraged.

"YOU BROKE YOUR OATH! DO YOU REALIZE THE POWERS FIRSTBORN DEMIGODS HOLD?! WHERE ARE THEY?! I WILL SMITE THEM WHERE THEY STAND?!" He bellowed. Artemis stood up defensively, bow in hand.

"YOU WILL NOT HARM THEM, FATHER!" Screamed an angry Artemis. Some looked shocked at her defensive outburst over a man and boy. The Hunt was the worst, some were okay and understood, but most felt betrayed by their mentor, leader, and to most, a motherly figure.

"I DON'T CARE, YOU BROKE YOUR OATH, SO I WILL-" Zeus tried to say

All of a sudden, flames erupted from the hearth. Every look to see an enraged Hestia, her red eyes ablaze. Everyone, even Zeus, was scared. If you make the most peaceful and calmest Goddess mad, you're definitely doing something wrong.

"At least she held to her oath this entire time. You, however, sired Thalia, breaking the oath you forced Hades and Poseidon into" Hestia hissed, her words laced with venom no one ever thought they'd hear from the Goddess of the Hearth.

Zeus paled and looked down at the floor while Hera and the rest of the Gods looked at him with slight disgust.

"He, his brother, and his father are under MY protection. If they're harmed in any way by anyone, you will have me to answer to. Got it?" Warned Hestia. Everyone nodded, not wanting to faced her wrath.

Poseidon, then spoke up, saying "How did you two meet?"

Yes! I want all the detail. And I mean ALL of them" said Aphrodite with a knowing look. Everyone, especially her hunters, looked at her expectantly. Artemis started the story.

"12 years ago, I was hunting Echidna, the chimera, and Lamia extremely close to Alaska. I battled and won, but was severely injured to the point where I passed out. I woke up outside on the ground in the forest under the moon. Luckily, another moon god took on the moon. I then realized I had bandages on my wounds, but only on the wounds on my arms and legs, meaning someone bandaged me in my unconscious state. At first, I was confused and scared at why I wasn't healed and at full strength when I was outside in the forest and under the moon. After pondering my predicament for a few minutes, A mortal boy walked into the clearing, carrying mortal restaurant food and a duffel bag. I was about to fight him, but forgot my weakened state and nearly fell over. He dropped the food, rushed forward with speed a mortal boy shouldn't have, and caught me. He-" Artemis was interrupted by Aphrodite cooing at her. Artemis glared at her in annoyance.

Artemis continued "He laid me down and backed away a little. The things that happened afterward surprised me the most. First, he said 'Lady Artemis, I'm sorry to say, but I have to change your bandages. My name is Ezekial and I don't have any female friends at the moment for a situation like this, so do I have your permission?'"

She looked at all the Gods as she said this, looking for their reactions. Most were shocked that and boy would act this accordingly in this situation.

"He waited for my answer but was anxious. Despite my state, I was on high alert, so I cautiously gave Ezekial my permission. He did as he said we would. I was still cautious but asked how he knew me. He had been watching my battle from within the trees out of excitement. Then when I collapsed after my victory, he brought me back to his backyard and bandaged me up."
Apollo's hands tighten on the armrest of his thrones. He'd never thought a man other than him would heal Artemis.

"Zeke then said I was out for had brought me mortal food since he didn't have access to Godly food. He said he left me outside so the moon would heal me. When I asked him how he knew of the Greek Pantheon, he said a few of his friends were demigods of my pantheon, and that apparently he is a legacy of Nike and Nemesis who was also blessed by Calliope, Muse of Music, so his demigod friends decided to give him the basics, even though monsters left him alone." Said Artemis.
She stopped because Lisa, one of her hunters who is a green-eyed brunette child of Ares, asked "You mean to tell me, that even in your weakened state, he never even once tried to or even thought about taking advantage of you?"

Artemis shook her head, saying "No, but when we finally got to the border after a near-three-week journey, I read his mind, and saw him complimenting my looks a few times during our journey in his memories. He actually never had any impure intentions. The reason he decided to help was that I before I killed Lamia, she had apparently tried to seduce and kill him. He was able to escape her, but she killed one of his friends in the process. Naturally, due to who he is, he wanted revenge."

She saw some of her hunt except, while most still held questionable looks, but she kept going,
"Even in my weakened state, he kept a fair distance away from me and would only answer when spoken to. It got annoying, so I said 'speak freely .' He explains that we were in Alaska because that's where he lived and said that's why my godly powers weren't working. Then he...got weird"

The rest of the gods and her Hunt gave her confused looks.

"What do you mean weird, milady?" Says Thalia, the daughter of Zeus Hestia mentioned

"He oddly obsessed with helping me, but afraid of me at the same time. He asked me to teach him how to wield daggers so he could help me pass the border, letting me get back to Olympus. Because he helped heal me as best he could and was intent on helping me, I agreed to repay him. As we went on our journey, I taught all of the basics and just a few advanced moves. He actually used what I taught him to kill 3 hellhounds, 4 empousai, and 2 dracaena on our journey to the border"

She stopped and let that sink in. Everyone, especially the followers had s. Mia, a blonde daughter on Hecate, one of her Hunters, spoke up, "But milady, surely you had something to do with that?"

Artemis shook her head and said "I was aged up to my 18-year form for longer reach and strength while hunting my targets. When he brought me to his backyard, I was stuck in that form since we were in Alaska"

"But when did you fall in love with him? And why?" huffed Aphrodite in annoyance.

"When I realized he was...different. He was on the run after his abusive stepfather... killed his mother, s-" She was cut off by Hades, who asked, "What his name?"

"Um...Robert Blackstone? Why?" asked a puzzled Artemis. Everyone else was also confused. He held up his hand and said "Just a moment" and flashed out. A few seconds later, he flashed back, saying "Anyone who hurts a man Artemis approves of must be punished accordingly, the exceptions that are out there must be cherished. The monster was in Charon's lobby. I put him where he rightfully belongs, the Fields of Punishment"

Everyone looked at Hades in shock. Artemis thanked him, still shocked nonetheless, "I make sure to tell Zeke that"

"But when were you really feeling the love? When did you confess? When-?!" Artemis cut her off with an arrow shot near her head.

"While on the run to leave Alaska, he found me, and knowing my situation, brought me with him. While on our journey, he broke through all my views surround men, becoming the second man I would ever respect" Artemis stated. Athena asked, "Who the first?" out of curiosity.

"Perseus Jackson," Artemis said without hesitation. Poseidon nodded with pride and everyone nodded in agreement, even Athena, and she hated the sea spawn.

Her Hunt was confused. Phoebe, another daughter of Ares, said "What do you mean, milady?"

"where most males are arrogant, Zeke is humble. When I tried to give him credit for killing the monsters he killed on his own, he'd smile and deflect it to me, saying 'a good student is a reflection of an even better teacher'. While most males are selfish, he is selfless. But in his case, to the point of recklessness. He never hesitated to endanger himself if it meant my safety. While most males act on every impure intention they have, he remained true to what he intended to do" said Artemis with pride. Her followers were conflicted between what they've been taught and what Their Mistress was saying right now.

"Then something happened that shouldn't have been and couldn't have been mortally possible, and to this day, will be an accomplishment only he has completed in the history of our Pantheon," Said Artemis with wonder. Everyone, especially Aphrodite, was looking on in anticipation.

Artemis continued, "When our journey was complete, and I had my godly powers back, I had to fulfill the Ancient Laws that stated if a Mortal saves a Gods life, They are honor-bound to grant that person anything they desire, as long as it is within that god's power. He saved me 4 times, so he got 4 wishes. I got another unexpected surprise when he wished for me to:
1. take care of myself
2. make a mental link with him, just in case this happens again
3. give him a hug
4. Grant him power from each of my domains, so he could protect as many demigods as he could that were in Alaska from the shadows, even bring some recruits for my Hunt"

At this, a few Hunters, about 7, perked up in realization. The rest, except Hestia, looked shocked at such wishes. They didn't think Artemis would ever bless a man.

"The feat that happened next is one more worthy than Hercules. As I was about to bless him, I saw a flash of pink and a Humanoid flying. It was Eros, he saw the hug and decide to try and ruin it by shooting him with a love arrow. I don't think Aphrodite knew, though " Stated Artemis, as some of the Gods were looking at her accusingly. She held up her hands in innocence and said "What?! I swear on the River Styx I didn't know"

Thunder boomed in the throne, and seeing as she was still there, she was telling the truth.

"When it hit Zeke, instead of trying to rape me, he... stepped away a few times, looked at me, and said 'Are you going to bless me or not?' with a smile on his face. Eros was shocked as well, but recovered and shot him 7 more times, with 3 love arrows and 4 lust arrows. After the seventh arrow, he got actually got annoyed and turned around and said 'Leave, love god. I refuse to have sex with someone I'm not supposed to, especially without her consent. Leave, before I tell my grandma what you're attempting' and turned back around and waited for me to bless him"

Everyone's jaw's, especially Aphrodite and the Hunt. "b-but h-h-his arrows c-can c-control e-e-even Primordials" stuttered Aphrodite. She was having a hard time excepting this info. Artemis shrugged. Her followers looked at each other, thinking about the man with grudging respect.

Everyone was having a hard time digesting this information. Then Artemis got to the part Aphrodite had been waiting on, "After I blessed him and told him of his new powers, I asked him if he was truly alright since he was shot eight times. He shrugged it off and walked back across the border, thanking me with another hug, which caused my face to heat up before leaving. I was so shocked at the situation that I had realized that there was...a spark. When he hugged me...I will...admit that I... didn't want him... to... um...let me go" Her voice getting smaller and smaller. But unfortunately for her, everyone heard her.

"I kept thinking about him, to the point where I visited the border whenever I could, just to talk to him. I...confessed one month later, and he said yes, to my surprise. The best part is that after he said yes, his attitude toward me did a complete 180, romantically and-"

Aphrodite squealed in glee, saying "Love always wins, Arty. I knew that silly oath would hold for long"

Artemis threw a hunting knife next to her face "Don't. Call. Me. Arty!" She growled. Aphrodite paled, but then smirked mischievously "Do let Zeke call you Arty?"

"What?! No" Said a blushing Artemis. Hestia and Apollo grinned and said "She's lying" at the same time. This spurred Aphrodite on "What do you let him called you?"

"My name!" hissed Artemis.

"If you don't tell us, I'll douse your palace in perfume and Love potion," said Aphrodite in a sing-song voice that says she'll really do it.

"I would also like to know," Said a smirking Athena. Hermes also wishes to know. Soon all the gods, except Zeus, Ares, and Dionysus, even a lot of her own Hunters, were all trying to find out his nicknames for her. She relented and listed them off:
"Huntlina, Dagger Queen, Auburn Strawberry, Kniferella, Moonpie, Moonora, Dagger Diva, Divine Moonshine, Shiny Shooter, Moonbeam, Sparkling Beauty Queen, Quivera, and more I probably don't know about" Finish a red-faced Artemis.

"He sounds so romantic! Maybe I vis-" Aphrodite never got to finish that sentence as Artemis had jumped from her throne to her, grabbed her by the throat, and had a knife pointing at heart,
"Don't even think about it, you slut. If I found out you've been even within a mile of him, I will rip your eyes out, make you eat them, then send you to Tartarus. He. Is. OURS!" growl Artemis.
She flicked through her Roman form, Diana, who was just as angry as her, for a few seconds before settling back to Artemis. The scene drew a shocked gasp from everyone in the room.

Apollo then spoke up "Yep, Diana and Artemis are one and the same, so Diana experienced the same feelings, which unified them while they were together with Zeke," He said with a cheeky grin.

That settled it for the Hunt. They all understood now. He must be a good guy.
"Well, I'm sold, If Lord Apollo isn't trying to pull an Orion and Milady is this crazy over him, He must be a great man," Said Phoebe, one of the top man-haters of the entire Hunt. The rest of her sisters nodded in agreement.

Zeus turned to Artemis, still angry, said "I wish to see him"

Artemis, adamant, said "Only if you swear him no harm"

"I, Zeus, swear on the Styx not to harm the lover of Artemis in any way, shape, or form," Said Zeus, A rumble of thunder signaling the sealing of the oath. Zeus then said "I need to see it to believe it because frankly, I don't"

Artemis threw out her hand and a gigantic TV appear.
I hope this will go well Though Artemis as she flashed to Zeke's house

A/N: Sorry, I know I took long with ZekeXArtemis, but I really wanted to emphasize what it would take for someone like her to fall for some rando she just met. So who do you think the mystery baby is?

(A/N: I changed Haneul's name to Kynigós Fengarión Blackstone (κυνηγός φεγγαριών: Moon Hunter) Ky or KyFen for short)
