I felt an intense anger at this guy or whatever he was. No one and I meant no one would talk to me like that, or talk about my dad like that, for that matter. "Shut your face, or I'll make sure you land a place in the Tartarus hospital," I growled at the guy. Wait a minute, he looked like-like a Titan. Do not show fear, do not show fear, I thought furiously.

There was a strange glow around him, it almost looked like-sunlight. Wait a minute, SUNLIGHT! I thought. I thought I knew who he was, but there was only one way to find out. "Hey, Hyperion! Come over here so I can kick your immortal butt!" I called out threateningly. The Titan looked confused for a moment, but quickly turned it to a look of outrage. "HOW DARE YOU SPEAK MY NAME, YOU PUNY LITTLE MORTAL!" Hyperion raged. "Wanna have more?" I taunted.

I leaped gracefully around the Titan, making his head spin in circles. Hyperion glowed with a powerful light. When I could make out his appearance again, he was dressed in full Greek battle armor. His weapon of choice was a spear, its tip crackling with energy-light energy. The Titan assumed that I didn't know how to use my powers over sunlight, but I was going to prove him wrong, along with everyone else who doubted me.

I blinded him, giving myself just enough time to summon my weapons and pray to my dad to let me live. Hopefully, he had time to answer and acknowledge my prayer. Hopefully. Just then, a hurricane of light appeared around me. Hyperion threw his spear and it deflected off of the hurricane of light surrounding me. It's acting as a shield, I thought. I automatically knew that it could be used to my advantage. I got a grip on my bow, loaded it with an arrow, and fired at Hyperion's eye. It did exactly what it was supposed to–––cause a diversion. I then leaped up onto the Titan's knee (he was in full size) and began to climb gracefully up to his shoulders. I whipped out my wicked sharp sword and chopped off the Titan's head. He exploded in a cloud of dust.

Ewww! Monster dust! I thought, disgusted.

I had just enough time to clean myself and my weapons up before I was in a cave and there stood-Bella, trying to cut Artemis's chains. Bella looked up and saw that I was there. She waved me over and, at that moment, there was a blinding flash of light and Raina appeared, looking confused.

"Wasn't I supposed to guard the boat?" she asked. "Yes, but not anymore," Bella replied, still trying to work the chains off the goddess. "Here, Bella, take a step back. All these chains need is a touch of celestial bronze," I said, and with that I drew my sword which, by the way, is celestial bronze.

I sliced Artemis's chains off with just one tiny cut. "Thank you, my heroes," Artemis said gratefully, stretching herself out.

Suddenly, monsters started attacking. We all got out our weapons and started to engage in battle.

Pretty soon, all the monsters were piles of dust. We were kinda happy that they were dead because it gave us some time to rest. Artemis took me to the side and talked to me, asked if I had made my decision. I told her that I had.

We went to stand next to Raina and Bella again. "I have decided that I am making Alexa one of my hunters. Alexa, do you accept this? You will swear loyalty to me and you will never fall in love with a man? You will also be granted immortality unless you die in battle, and, speaking of which, I have discussed this rule with Ares and he will never let you die in battle because you are to be my new lieutenant. You'll need training of course, which is why you will learn the responsibilities of being a lieutenant. You will train with my current lieutenant, Zoë Nightshade. She used to be one of the Hesperides, but rather than being a Hesperid she accepted my invitation to join the Hunt," Artemis said with a smile.

"Yes. I accept," I breathed. All at once, I felt stronger. Then, Bella and I tensed. I looked and I saw Kronos's spirit shooting toward me, like a lightning bolt shoots toward Earth.

Since I was now immortal, it wouldn't do me any harm. At that moment, Bella pushed me and Artemis out of the way and took on the spirit inside of herself.

"BELLA!" I screamed as she got up and then collapsed on the ground."I am okay. That hit me hard," she said. Then, this weird guy (I assumed he was a god because we had so many strange visits like that) appeared in shimmering sparkles. "Morpheus," Artemis growled at him.

Morpheus bowed to us and then uttered a spell on Bella, putting her into a coma for who knows how long? Until now. Morpheus smiled at me, grabbed Bella, and disappeared with her. I looked at Artemis."My Hunters will find her. She is very important...to the fate of the world," she said grimly.

I cracked my knuckles and suddenly I was in a Hunter's outfit with all the necessary weapons and equipment. "Yes. We will," I agreed.
