Daughter of the Moon
Chapter 1
All About Me
My name is Arrow Artemis Jackson, and you may have heard of my cousin Percy Jackson, maybe that he's saved the world a couple of times? You also may have figured that I have the name Artemis in my name, you know, the goddess? Yeah, she's my mother. I know you may be thinking, "Well, didn't Artemis vow never to have kids, and she pretty much hates men?" And I'd tell you that's true.
I wasn't actually born, just like Annabeth was created from Athena's head, Artemis created me from pure moonlight shot from her arrow into my dad's heart. Don't worry it wasn't deadly, my dad's still alive and well. Actually he's pretty much the greatest father you could ask for.
He's always loved Greek history, and he told me about my mom early on, and also my cousin and his father, Poseidon. His sister is Percy's mom and my aunt. I'm 18 years old, by the way. My dad has always cared for me and never left my side, and he's a neurosurgeon. Pretty smart, I know. Don't ask me why Artemis liked him, and only him, though, I have no idea why she liked my dad. Not that my dad's unlikeable; I just don't know why she chose him. My dad told me all about demigods, and how my life is different from pretty much everyone else's.
I was marked by my mother when I was hanging out with my cousin Percy and his friend's when I was 13. They said this awesome shimmery blue-silver arrow appeared above my head, and that they'd never seen that mark before. That's because Artemis has no other "children" unless you include the Hunters of Artemis, but I wouldn't call them my sisters.
You may be wondering what my powers are. Well, just like Percy's Riptide, I can make my silver ring turn into a magical bow that has infinite arrows. I can also talk to animals and have the power of the moon. I can turn into any animal I want as long as there's some moonlight around me, and I can control animals and people with the power of the moon. I also have impeccable aim for shooting arrows.
Why should you care about me or any of this you ask? Well, because I got a prophecy from Rachel, or the Oracle, I should say. The prophecy is, "Daughter of the moon, reaching adulthood, will save or destroy the people of Camp Half-blood." Pretty lame prophecy I know, my cousin and his friends get things about saving Mt. Olympus and the world, and all I get is a prophecy about saving a place called Camp Half-blood, a place I've only heard about by the way.
That's pretty much all I have time to tell you right now. I do understand the urgency of prophecies and such, so I'm on my way to Camp Half-blood right now.
