Here's another chapter guys! Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 10

The rustling started to come from everywhere and out stepped the Hunters of Artemis. That's actually a good thing for Aine, but for me, not so much.

They all had their bows pointed at me, ranging form the ages 12 to 18. A 12 year old stepped out from the circle and the circle was replaced with another huntress.

I sheathed my sword and raised my hands in a surrendered way. The 12 year old waved her hand and all the huntresses put away their bows. My eyes widened as I realized that the 12 year old was Artemis herself.

I bowed in respect as she circled us like a wolf about to strike. "Why did you call me here boy?"

My lip twitched with anger as she called me that, but I held it down. "I'm here to add a huntress to your cause." I said with my head down in respect.

"Why would you do that boy? Did you rape her first?"

That was the final straw. Calling me boy was one thing, but accusing me to rape a girl was another. I shot up with unhuman speed and snarled at her.

Only then did I know how close I was to her. She then turned into a 16 year old as I was looking down on her. But nevertheless, I lashed out on her.

"How dare you accuse me of raping a maiden! If you only took your head out your ass and figure out that it isn't a hat, then you would realize that not ever male is like that jerk Heracles!" I roared literally.

Her eyes widened in shock, before it turned into rage. She slapped me and punched me in the gut. As I double she unsheathed her dagger and slammed the hilt in my head.

Right before I blacked out, I saw Aine running to my aide as the hunters started walking at me with celestial bronze. Then I blacked out completely.

When I woke up, I was in underground cellar hanging from the ceiling like a punching bag.

I looked around groggily since I had a terrible headache. At the stairs, there was a huntress sitting there watching over me.

When she saw me awake, she ran up the stairs most likely to tell Artemis that I was awake.

But when she walked down stairs, she wasn't with Artemis. It looked like she was with the lieutenant since she wore the mark.

The lieutenant had dark obsidian eyes, with light brown hair which I found appealing. She had a upturned nose with full pink lips, that attracted unwanted attention. She wore a silver parka jacket with silver leggings and silver shoes.

Overall she was the best looking girl I seen in my life and I seen some good looking women.

As she walked over to me, I felt the aura of danger, royalty, and eternal disdain towards boys. She kept walking towards me until she was right in front of me. She was even better looking when she was closer.

I cursed myself for thinking that and bowed my head so she wouldn't see the emotions I was feeling. After a few minutes of silence, a devastating knee connected with my nose.

My head flew up and the blood started to flow. I saw the look of surprise as she saw the mix of gold and red as my blood.

She recovered and grabbed my throat with her hand and applied pressure. "What are you boy?"

I barely had enough breath to say. "You too? What is this would coming to."

Her eyes flashed with anger and she punched me in the gut. I coughed up blood as I felt my ribs break. She unsheathed her hunter knife and cut the ropes that were keeping me in the air.

When I landed she kicked me in my broken ribs causing me to groan and lay on my back. Being trained by a Primordial taught me to never show weakness.

She looked down at me with anger and respect. She was about to say something when a scream echoed from above. She ran up stairs, but a smart monster locked the gate that separated us from the surface.

I groan and stood up shakily and croaked out to the lieutenant. "Allow me."

She turned around and backed out the way, desperate to get to the other hunters. I walked to the gate and gripped it. With a mighty yell I ripped the gate out the earth and throw at the nearest monster which evaporated into yellow dust. The lieutenant brushed passed me and knocked me to the ground, but I ignored it.

I stood back up and saw the utter chaos as the hunters were attacked by monsters with numbers up to 100. I looked around and saw a little girl and an older hunter fighting a drakon.

The older hunter gave a cut on the drakon's eye, but the drakon gave a swing at her, knocking her out cold. The little girl, no older than 8 sat there crying as she thought she was going to die. Key word- thought.

My instincts took over and I ran in front of the drakon and the girl before it ate her. It growled at me presence, but stopped when I turned into my dragon form.

In the corner of my eye, I saw the girl stop crying and look at me with curiosity and gratefulness. I turned my attention to the cowering drakon in front of me. Even though this drakon was one of the ancients, I towered over him and was bigger than him in every compartment.

I growled and in Dragoin(Dragon language) I roared at the other drakons and reptiles: BOW BEFORE ME, NEXUS, SON OF YOUR CREATOR OR DIE!

Every reptile including the drakons stopped fighting. As did the hunters shocked to see me as a dragon. Then they all groveled at my feet, begging for forgiveness.

I then said: Leave this humans alone or face my wrath!

They all nodded and ran away from the battle taking big numbers of the army. The rest were hellhounds. Suddenly I had a weird feeling and I felt as if I couldn't control myself. I changed back to my human form and walked towards the crowd of hellhounds.

As I got closer a searing pain came over me and felt my bones crack and shift until I was standing on all fours. I looked forward and saw a black snout with a red vine on traveling up it.

I looked at my feet and saw paws instead of hands with red vines traveling up them. I looked in a puddle of water and saw the craziest thing in the world.

I had just shifted into a hellhound.
