"Well to be honest, I wasn't really thinking about you, you just popped into my mind. But I did want to see you, don't know why though." I said bluntly. Again Artemis wasn't expecting this, "Did your memories come back or something?" She asked me.

I shook my head, "No, I like I said, I don't know why I want to see you, I just do for some reason."

Artemis smirked, "I guess it can't be helped, it would seem that you miss me, would you know why?"

What?

Wait a minute, why is she acting like that? What's wrong with her? She's supposed to hate men, she's acting like we have some sort of secret relationship. Weird, well I don't exactly hate it, so I'll play along, "Let's say I did miss you, what would that mean?" I asked.

Artemis laughed, "You actually went for it! I can't believe mortals actually fall for those cheap tricks…It's no wonder the male race is slowly disappearing."

My eye twitched, what the hell!? This is…Not what I expected, why am I being teased by Artemis, who by the way is the purest goddess no less, what did I do?

What's going on!?

"Artemis…What did I do for you to act this way towards me? I'm not saying I don't like it, but I want to know why a goddess like you has some interests in me." I told her.

Artemis considered this, "I guess it's alright." She said and looked me straight in the eyes, "It all started when you decided to act stubborn and follow me to go and save Annabeth. The things we talked about was…Interesting, plus the things you showed me." Artemis explained, and then she smiled, "I was determined to save Annabeth, and so were you, I've never met a mortal like you, you were willing to risk your own life to save her. You showed me that not all men are bad."

Artemis sighed deeply, "Even though you saved a lot of people, there were still someone who died. And there was also someone who went into a coma, someone you know."

I feel like she's messing with me again. But I know all too well who was in that coma. Me. "What were some of the things I showed you? I think I can learn them…" I said doubtfully.

Artemis sat down and patted a spot right next to her, "The things you showed me were…Amazing, I actually would like to experience that again, so when learning new things, don't doubt yourself. Believe in yourself."

I sat down, "I know...But, I have all these powers and I don't know how to get them to work, I don't even know how I got them. Artemis, do you believe in me?"

"Yes." She said without hesitating, which was kind of a shock. So I didn't know how to answer her, I just stood there with a stupid look on my face, she smiled, "How about you just start with flying?" She suggested, flying? "I can fly? Cool."I said happily.

"Indeed, but I don't think learning how to fly for a second time isn't exactly cool." She said and laughed.

I swear, there's something about her that just makes me want to follow her, to listen to her, to live for her. "Alright, I'll give it a try." I said.

Artemis stood up, "Want to recreate how you did it last time?"

I stare at her with a puzzled look, "I don't know how I did it last time. Remember?"

She sighed, "You're forgetting, that I remember how it went, since I was the only one with you." She said, but then she frowned and rethought how she's going to 'recreate' this.

I don't know why...But is she...Embarrassed? What happened?

"Actually...I have better idea. Here." She said and extended her hand to me, I grabbed her hand without thinking twice, "Okay now what?" I asked.

Artemis was still a little stunned, "Oh...Uh." She seemed to have trouble searching for her words. "First...Grab my hand, and then think about stuff that is light, stuff that weighs almost nothing I mean." She explained.

I guess I can give it a try, I was still holding her hand, and then I started to think about feathers, leaves and the air around me, swirling around at my feet, and then my body felt weightless, I opened my eyes and noticed that we were ten feet off the ground. "I..." I trailed off, "I did it!" I shouted happily.

I looked over to Artemis, she was really happy, I guess it's because she got to fly again. I laughed and smiled at her, "Thank you!" From now on, I won't doubt myself, I'll just believe in myself.

Artemis looked over to me with a big smile on her face, it's good to see her like this, she usually looks...Well I've always had trouble reading gods and goddess's expressions, but for Artemis she was always focused. Determined even. But, there was a lonely look in her eyes, that was the first thing I noticed when I saw first saw her. But I guess being alive for over three thousand years can be a little lonely, but now that loneliness is slowly fading away...I'm glad it's because of me.
