I looked to Artemis, and silently asked for help. She sighed, "Wyatt Knight, was in a coma for six months, but even though he didn't die, he lost his memories." She said.
Artemis continued, "The reason Wyatt is here with us is because…" She looked at all of her hunters, "He is a hunter…" She said. Murmuring broke out through all the hunters, "A boy is a hunter?" One said.
"But she swore to never let a man join the hunters, didn't she?" Another asked.
I sighed deeply, "Do you truly think Artemis would let a man into the hunt without a plan? I'm not here just to mess around. I'm here because Artemis saved my life, well, that's what I've been told I mean. Anyway, I don't plan on doing anything weird to anyone, nor will I disobey anyone." I said reassuringly.
Artemis looked relieved I said that, some of the hunters relaxed, but some were still shocked, "I'm only here because of Artemis, I'll obey her every word, if she asks me to help you guys out, then I will not hesitate, although you probably won't ever need help." I chuckled.
Thalia smiled, "True." She said and looked at Artemis, "But, since he has all that power, we won't actually get to fight anything, right?" She asked.
I hung my head, "If Artemis orders me to kill whatever you're fighting right away, then I'll do it without hesitating, only when she says so, I will act." I told everyone. I'm not sure how many of them were listening. Artemis cleared her throat, "Alright, it's time to pack up! There is something that we need to hunt, and I'll need all of you to come with me." Artemis said and turned to me, "You stay there until we're ready."
I nodded, "Alright."
'You're like her pet, do you realize that?' the inner me asked, be quiet, I'm just doing what she asked me. There's nothing wrong with that. I got no reply him, good.
I stood there for five minutes watching the hunters in amazement, they're really good at taking down the tents and putting everything away...Although I don't know where they're going to put all of this. I hope they don't make me carry it. That will be a huge pain.
It turns out I don't have to, yes! Anyway, Artemis used her powers and teleported it away or something, I don't know, but all of sudden everything was gone. "Alright Wyatt, ready to explore?" For a second she went back to how she was before, but she forgot where she was, "It's time to go." She said coldly. I smiled, "Whatever you say boss."
We started walking, well actually everyone was jogging, I wanted to fly, but I told everyone that I won't disobey Artemis. So I have to walk, plus I don't want to make Artemis look bad, we jogged for two hours straight. TWO HOURS! Who jogs that long? Like seriously, don't your legs get tired? Mine certainly do, but I can't complain to Artemis, so I have to endure it.
I have no idea where we are, but this forest is awesome. The trees seemed to stretch on forever, some were over twenty feet tall, it felt like an enchanted forest. It also felt a little too relaxing. "So Artemis…What are we-
I was cut off by a sound so loud my ears popped. "What the heck is that!?" I yelled, Artemis said, "I don't know what this beast is, but it only stays dead for fifty years. But it doesn't seem to have much brain cells, and it won't attack unless it gets attacked. And also, this thing just attacks whatever, no matter what. And it always, always comes back here." She explained.
I could feel the ground shaking, with each step it took the ground shook more and more. Just how big is this thing? I waited for it to show itself. After a minute, something came from out from a tree, I looked up and saw a twenty foot tall hairy beast, "Damn. It's like a huge ape or something." I said with disgust, but something was off about this thing, it was walking around us, not doing anything, all the hunters had their bows ready and so did Artemis.
"Wyatt!" Artemis yelled, "I want you to shoot a fireball at it!" She ordered, I hesitated. It's not doing anything…In fact, it looks scared. "Artemis, wait." I said and walked closer to the thing. I heard some of the hunters gasped.
"Wyatt! Now is not the time to play around!" Artemis shouted to me, I ignored her and advanced the beast, its eyes were sad, like he was asking me for help. I'm sorry, but I can't help you. I shot a fire ball at it and backed away. The hunters opened fire and then a barrage of arrows hit the beast, it groaned and staggered backwards. It didn't attack us, I don't feel right killing this thing. But I can't disobey Artemis again.
But I have to wonder why this thing comes back here every time it comes back to life, I shot another fire ball at it, but this one was different, it wasn't red flames, it was black flames. I stared at it with confusion, "Two colored flames? Interesting." I mumbled to myself. But then I remember to throw it, once it hit the beast, the explosion was so strong everyone was blown to the ground, I closed my eyes.
When I opened them, it was gone, not a single trace of it left. I looked at my hand, so much power…How am I going to control it, when I learn to use it?
As I was thinking, I felt everyone's eyes on me, I looked up to meet them. I could see a few of them were stunned, no one said a word, and so I did instead. "Listen Artemis, I'm sorry for not attacking right away. I just felt weird attacking something that wasn't going to attack back."
Artemis laughed, "Well then you shouldn't have blasted the thing to smithereens then!" I guess even Artemis didn't know I could do that. She actually seemed happy that I did that. "That was awesome Wyatt!" Bianca came up to me grinned, "What else can you do?" She asked. I smiled nervously, "I'm not sure." I said.
Thalia snorted, "He can do a lot more then what you just saw, trust me, I know." I sighed, that's right, Neil told me I got in a fight with a girl named Thalia, the only daughter of…Wait a minute… "You're the one I fought with last winter!?" I yelled with surprise, Thalia tilted her head, "How did you know that?"
I stared at her wide eyed and apologized, "I'm so sorry for whatever I did!"
Thalia was stunned, "Oh, uh…its okay, you came through in the end…" She said sheepishly.
After a while, a lot of the hunters started to ask me about my powers and what else I can do. I stayed close to Artemis hoping she would help me. Artemis did not help me, I wonder why…
Anyway, this lasted for ten minutes and then Artemis told the hunters to get ready to move out. I think me being a hunter is going to be a little…Distracting for the other hunters. I am a man after all. Plus I'm awesome. And amazing. I'm a lot of things, but that doesn't matter.
The whole day I stayed by Artemis's side, but at one point, she didn't tell me she was going to a pond to…Well take a bath. It was only me and her, so she decided to mess with me, "What, you planning on taking a bath with me?" She said and then I instantly turned and walked about twenty feet away from her and waited.
