Artemis went silent. Her head again bowed. Harvey realised that this was the first time she had revealed this to anybody. A swell of pity rose for the woman in front of him. He had always seen the Gods as omniscient and omnipotent creatures, who will strike down a large family as suddenly and as without mercy as a murderous psychopath. They were ruthless, jealous and vindictive beings. However , if the Goddess sitting in front of him was representative of her entire race, they also had a more sensitive, understanding - more human element , one which through the generations had been lost until eventually they themselves had transcended into the realms of legend.

A hint of a smile touched Artemis' lips, a stark contrast to her previously sombre demeanour "Not entirely, it would seem. But we understood our time had come to an end. Our once magnificent temples were in ruins , our cults disbanded , our cities in ashes. We are a forgotten race." She paused, as a stray thought entered her head, "It is strange to consider that in the ancient years, my cults practiced cannibalism amongst other rituals that in the present time would be considered morally grey" Artemis laughed at Harvey's stunned expression, her laughter was enchanting, however, in the current situation sent a wave of terror through him. Harvey was again reminded that the being in front of him was not only capable of killing him with but an errant thought, but would do so if he was ignorant or disrespectful. This was slightly more problematic with the simple fact that Artemis seemed to be able to read Harvey's mind. Harvey had started to wonder what other gifts Artemis may possess.

"I guess it is only natural for you to be so curious. And yes you are correct about being able to read every single thought that enters your mind." She seemed amused at Harvey's sudden uncomfortable expression. She continued, "I also possess heightened senses, which is why I am able to hear your incredibly erratic heartbeat, see the perspiration building on your brow and your hands trembling with anxiety. I have immense speed and strength, the ability to instantly travel from one place to another, I guess humans would call it teleporting. The gift of seeing events which are yet to arrive- although Apollo has mastered this skill. Flight, Energy manipulation, elemental manipulation, mental control, ability to generate illusions, transfiguration, changing our height at will and in my case a natural talent with a bow and arrow."The huntress sighed, looking down at her hands. Harvey's thoughts must have betrayed his true feelings, for once, he had managed to remain visibly indifferent, " Again I must apologise. If it would help, I give you my promise that I will not kill you. I see that my reputation through time has not been diminished, I am still feared." Harvey sensed only sadness from Artemis at this statement, almost resentment.

"We had nurtured the Greek people to respect and fear us, we massacred those who were heretics or blasphemous, annihilating those that could challenge our authority, but by doing this we lost all of our wonder from those who worshipped us. Where once our appearance was to be celebrated, it had become an event which caused terror and panic. What we had delighted ..." She paused seemingly disgusted at the word "… in doing would be our ultimate downfall."


Yeah , i kinda stretched Mythology to breaking point here, thing is I just don't know what powers the goddesses had,so i read tons of Homer and Virgil to find ANY clues on what they could do...

so sorry if i have made any mistakes.....:) and i'm sorry for any grammar and spelling mistakes....
