Thank you to everyone who followed and favorite this story! This is all I got for this week.

Something worse than death? My anger slowly subsided, "What can possibly be worse than death?" I asked.

Artemis didn't say anything, so I guess there are somethings the gods can't talk about, but why? The gods…Exactly why are they around? So far I've felt nothing but resentment towards them, if I had the power to help my kids or anyone, I would do it. "Why did you take me here, and why did you tell me all that?" I asked.

Artemis sighed, "Zoe, can you gather the rest of the hunters and wait for me outside, thank you."

"Of course my lady." So her name is Zoe? I watched her walk out, she glared at me as she left, "She really doesn't like me." I said, Artemis nodded, "We have our reasons, but forgive them if they do not welcome you."

I cocked my head sideways, "What do you mean? Why would they need to welcome me?" I asked, she laughed lightly, "We'll get to that later, first I want to ask you one more thing." Why does she always talk about something else? Why can't she stick to one subject? "Alright…What is it?"

"The gods…What do you think about them…By that I mean, if you could do something about them, what would you do?" She asked. I rubbed my chin, "Well…" As I thought more about the gods my anger started to build up again. "I see the gods as nothing but pests, I know I don't know exactly everything about them…But I know enough to see that they aren't WORTHY enough to watch over this world. They fail as guardians and they fail as gods. But that doesn't matter right now, what matters is what I'm going to do, which is...I guess find a way to dethrone them." I said and watched Artemis, she says she's a god, but so far she hasn't shown me anything godly.

"I see...Well since I am a god, I can't have that." She said, and then she started to glow, I covered my eyes and thought that this was the end for me, because as she started to light up, I finally believed she was a god. The light died down and I felt no danger at all, I was perfectly fine. I opened my eyes and my jaw dropped, Artemis who I thought was just a little girl, was in fact a god, when I closed my eyes she was kind of small, but now she's my height, her silvery yellow eyes stared into my dark blue eyes, her face was beautiful but she looked so intimidating. She wore a white shirt under a silver jacket, and she had silvery camo pants and black combat boots on.

Her hair was braided over her left shoulder, and her hair seemed to have grown, just like she did. "Do you still want to dethrone us?" She asked calmly. She's got me, I didn't feel immense power from her, but I could tell if she wanted to kill me, it would be over in an instant. "It's the way I feel right now...But all minds can be changed, it's just a matter of how you change that mind." I said.

Artemis stood still and examined me, "You aren't saying that just to stay alive, are you?" She asked.

I shook my head, "What good would that do me? You are a god, and I am not." I said.

She still didn't believe me, which I found kind of funny. I'm not as dangerous as she thinks I am. "So now I can't leave because of what I think? I say that's what I want, but do you actually think I'm capable of doing that?" I asked. "It all depends on who your Olympian parent is, and I am not keeping you here, you can leave whenever you wish." Artemis said and pointed to the exit, outside are all her hunters, all the hunters that have wolves as pets…If I leave, I die, if I stay…what happens?

I stayed put, "If I go out there alone, will your hunters attack me?" I asked, Artemis shrugged, "They do not like boys of course, but they won't hurt you, well not unless I give the order."

So I really can't leave, "Why am I here?" I asked.

Artemis smiled like I just said something intelligent, "That's something you need to figure out on your own, now I must be going, my hunters are waiting for me." She said and reverted back to her other form. She's really pretty, I'll admit that. We walked out, the first thing I noticed was that all of the tents were taken down, except the one Artemis and I were in, how did they do that so fast? I shook my head and bowed to Artemis, I doubt we'll meet again.

"The way you see the gods is interesting, so I'll keep an eye on you. Farewell…I don't believe I got your name have I?" Artemis said.

I smirked, "I don't think I'm worth remembering, so don't worry about it, so long." I said and walked away. I know for a fact that all her hunters wanted me dead as soon as I said that. The whole day I killed monsters, it was like they were drawn to me, every time I killed one, another would show up. Ever since I noticed all the monsters, I noticed that when it gets dark, they start to come at me in packs and they seem to be a little stronger, and faster.

It was night so I stayed in the woods, even though it's dark, I could see just fine. The best place to be right now is the woods, because I can listen to my surroundings, the leaves and branches, no one can sneak behind me if I stay here.

An hour later I could hear someone following me, and off to the right was more footsteps, they didn't even try to be sneaky. I sighed and stopped. Once I did, everything was quiet again, I pulled out my sword, "Just how many of you is there!?" I could see about fifty monsters, I gulped, I've fought this many before, but not at night. Out in the distance, I could hear thunder, why can I hear that? There isn't any thunder clouds around. Shit, I need to run, I turned and there was more…They've finally got me, why are there so many monsters? Why am I such a threat to them? This is stupid, I'm just one fucking person!

Anger started to boil up in me, "I've had it! I'm going to kill you all once and for all!" I shouted. The thunder got louder and then it started to rain, and lightning struck around me, but I was more focused on the monsters. I charged and started to feel energized, with each lightning strike that almost hit me, I got faster and felt like nothing could kill me, I killed ten monsters before the lightning strike stuck right behind me, it was like it was attracted to me, I growled in frustration, "Lightning isn't going to help you!"

Every ten seconds the lightning struck the ground. I killed forty monsters, but every time the lightning lit up the forest, I saw more monsters, I lifted up my sword, "You want to kill me!? Bring it!" I shouted and lightning hit my blade…I didn't feel hurt, lightning flickered off my sword, and the monsters around me stopped moving, and then above my head a light blue lightning bolt appeared, it was spinning, what the hell is that? I ignored it and went after the monsters, I can use this as a distraction, my blade still had lightning coming off it.

The wind around me picked up and the monsters had a hard time hitting me, not that they could before. A few of them got blown away from me, which I thought was weird, but I ignored that also and kept fighting, when I got close to them, they were blown back a couple of feet. "Stay still!" I yelled at them. I already killed over seventy of them, why won't it stop?

I think I've been fighting for over an hour now, or maybe longer? I don't know I lost track after killing fifty monsters. Ever since that thing appeared over my head, more and more monsters appeared, but now they stopped, there was still a lot, but they stopped attacking me. The trees around me were either on fire or broken in two. The rain was still going and the thunder made it hard to hear anything, and the lightning seemed to be helping me. A strange world.

I took a long breath and looked at all the monsters in front of me, there's just too many, I can't kill them all. But I'll take out as many as I can. I lifted my sword in the air again, and it was struck once more. "Let's go for a record no one will believe, a thousand monsters killed in one night…You all make it too easy to kill you…So let's end this." I said and jump and then brought my sword down and hit the ground, but what happened next wasn't what I expected, everything around me exploded. When I looked up there was nothing but gold dust everywhere.

What the hell did I just do? I tried taking out my sword, but I felt really weak for some reason, and then I started to feel lightheaded as well. What's going on? My eyesight was blurry, I started breathing heavily. I fell to one knee, my body hurts…And I feel like I haven't slept in days. My legs hurt, so I fell flat on my stomach, good thing I killed everything around me…

A few seconds later I could hear someone making their way to me…well…This is it, isn't it?

I tried getting up, but it hurt to move so I stayed down.

"Put out the fires and set up- before they could finish speaking everything went dark for me.

I thought I died, but I still woke up, I'm not sure how long I was asleep, I still couldn't move, but I could see something above me, I was in the same tent as this morning. Did I just get saved? I forced myself to get up, and immediately regretted it. "Thou should rest, otherwise it would have been pointless to bring you here." That's Zoe voice, "Where am I?" I asked.

I couldn't see her, but I could tell she was glaring at me, "Did Artemis save me...?" I tried getting up again, "That's 'Lady' Artemis to you, and she is busy, so she will be awhile."

Every time I made eye contact with her, she would glare at me, "Why do you hate me...?" I asked, it hurts to talk, "I have my reasons, which is none of thy business. Now if you could stop talking that would be great." Zoe said coldly. I sighed, may as well listen to her, otherwise she'll hate me more than before.

I thought for sure she would leave me alone on here, but Zoe didn't leave, she kept an eye on me the entire time, she doesn't trust that I'll just rest. Man it's not like I'm going to just get up and take somethings and then run away. She has a lot of trust issues. I think I was laying down for fifth teen minutes before Artemis arrived, I opened my eyes and tried to get up once more, but it still didn't work. I was too weak. "Rest, I only want to talk." Artemis said, I laid back down. "What do you want to talk about?" I asked.

Artemis cleared her throat, "I told you I would keep an eye on you, so you should know I saw everything that happened when you left us. Do you understand why that happened?" She asked. I shook my head, "No...I don't know why all those monsters attacked me and I don't know why a hologram of a lightning bolt appeared over my head..." I said.

Artemis nodded like she expected this, "That hologram was the symbol of Zeus, lord of the sky. It appeared over your head because he has claimed that you are his child." She said calmly, I'm having a hard time wrapping this around my head right now. "Zeus...When you say he claimed me, you mean he's my father?" I asked.

Artemis nodded, "Yes."

Zeus…All those years of running from monsters, all those years I spent alone are because of him. He could've saved me the trouble of having to go through all that. But all he was watch me suffer…What's the point of claiming me!? Exactly what good does that do me!? I hate him and the other gods…

I have to stay calm, "This Zeus…You said he's the lord of the sky, but is that all? And can you tell me why there are so many monsters coming after me?" I asked.

Artemis smiled, "My father Zeus is the god of the sky, and king of the gods. He is also one of Kronos's children, the youngest to be exact, and also Zeus was the one to cast him into Tartarus...But that can come another time, first I will tell you that you were not supposed to be born. During World War II, there was a prophecy made, one that frightened the gods…I can't tell you what the prophecy is, but all you need to know is that after they found out what it was, only three gods couldn't have children anymore, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. The three eldest sons of Kronos."

"So I was right…We are just mistakes to you gods…" I said coldly, I slowly started to feel angry. So much for staying calm, everything she says makes me hate him even more, "What the hell was the point of claiming me? Now more monsters will come after me, does he really want to get rid of me that much!?"

Thanks for reading! I hope you all have an awesome day!
