I begged him. I got down on my knees and begged my father. It didn't work. I should have asked Athena to ask for me. She is father's favourite, but I didn't want her to know. They say you know when it's the one. And I did. He took my breath away. I loved being in his company. He always made me laugh. He made me feel wanted, something that I'd never felt before. Olympus may be crowded but it can be awfully lonely. I don't ask Zeus for many things. The last time I asked him for something I was, about three in mortal years, I think. Now in your years I am 20. In my 18th year I fell for Orion. Then in my 19th I asked Father to let undo my oath. I had been too young to understand what I was asking for, but he refused, even when I begged him. So Orion and me just hunt. And never mention what could have been. I have to go now. Apollo's yelling that he's got a archery target. Excuse me…
