Phoebe Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, chastity, moon, and a host of other titles was inspecting her bow and performing maintenance on it, not that she needed to, she could simply snap her fingers and it would be brand new; however she enjoyed the action. She then methodically moved on to her set of daggers and hunting knives and cleaned them.

Recently, the Hunt had been doing very well and had not lost a member since the last Titan War. Her thoughts strayed to her former Lieutenant Zoë who had sacrificed herself in order to defeat her father, Atlas.

Artemis started becoming teary-eyed but quickly blinked away her tears. She was a goddess, not some sentimental mortal. But some part of her still missed the friendship that the two had shared for over a millenia.

Her thoughts then went to a certain Son of Poseidon who had managed to hold the weight of the sky in order that she could fight off Atlas. Perseus Jackson was an enigma to say the least, he was not like many other men that she was familiar with and that threw her off. He was undoubtedly selfless and clearly cared a lot for his friends. He also isn't that bad looking, Artemis immediately shut down that train of thought.

After inspecting her weapons one last time, Artemis stepped out of the tent and walked towards the forest they had camped near. As she walked through camp, a series of "Milady"s could be heard signifying her position of power and authority amongst the hunt. Walking towards forest Artemis was in her 16-year old form.

Many said that she preferred a 12-year old form but that was not necessarily true. She mostly did that to prevent a lot of attention being directed towards her. Her 16-year old form actually allowed her to move faster due to her increased height but she was also a slightly larger target. She swept her long auburn hair over her shoulder and prepared herself for the coming Hunt.

Artemis stealthily crept through the forest, tracking her prey. She checked using her senses and heard her target just up ahead making quite a lot of noise.

She snuck a little further and she saw her prey, a manticore. It was hunched over and she noticed it appeared to have just gotten out of a fight due to several long gashes on its arms and ichor pouring out.

She carefully loaded an arrow into her bow and aimed it at the manticore. Hold your breath, aim, and fire. Artemis held her breath in order to get a stable line of sight.

As she was going to fire at the manticore, it looked up and spotted her. She froze for a split second and quickly fired the arrow.

The arrow zipped through the air at rapid speeds and hit the manticore in the chest causing it to roar and charge at her.

Artemis pulled out her hunting knives and engaged in fighting it. The manticore received stab wounds but Artemis herself also was hit by its claws causing several scratches and gashes to appear. Artemis was rapidly dodging and quickly blocking the numerous swipes and attempted bites from the beast. She was so focused on blocking the manticore's attacks she didn't notice its tail swing around and hit her in the side.

She was thrown to the side violently and shakily opened her eyes. The manticore stared down at her and grinned. "I guess I get to kill a goddess today!"

Artemis quickly faked panic giving the manticore pause. Artemis quickly threw one of her knives attached to her thigh. The knife flew straight and pierced the monster's heart. The Manticore's eyes widened, "Impossible… " he said, before collapsing into dust.

Artemis smirked and muttered "Fool, you cannot defeat a goddess" before checking herself over, she had a few cuts and some bruises but the battle had left her outfit in tatters. Thinking about her hunters Artemis flashed herself back to camp.

Artemis was immediately greeted by her Lieutenant Thalia who rushed over. "Milady, are you alright?!" Thalia questioned worriedly.

"I am just fine Lieutenant, just some surface wounds" Artemis replied.

"Thank gods, I was afraid you were seriously hurt!" Thalia exclaimed while wiping her forehead.

"Lieutenant it was just a simple manticore nothing you nor I couldn't handle" Artemis explained.

They both were heading towards the main campfire in the center where the rest of the hunters were waiting. When Artemis appeared with ichor and her tattered outfit her hunters all gasped and stared with shocked looks.

Artemis looked confused for a second before realising the cause of their stares, she then snapped her fingers in order to clean herself up. Looking herself over Artemis was satisfied with her appearance.

"All right toda-" Artemis didn't get to finish as she was interrupted by a certain messenger god .

Hermes looked solemn at first but then smirked "Hey Arty wha-" he didn't get to finish as he was pounded in the face by the fist of an angry goddess and flopped onto the ground. "Whats... up?" Hermes finished lamely still recovering from the punch.

"Don't call me ARTY" Artemis hissed through clenched teeth with a furious expression on her face.

Artemis dragged up the god by his shirt, "Now there better be a good reason you came up here or else" she stared him in the eyes threateningly while bringing her fist up again.

Hermes gulped and stood up, taking a deep breath he looked into her eyes and said "You are summoned for a meeting to Olympus, Perseus has attacked Camp Half-Blood"

AN: First chapter is done and has been rewritten. This is my first fanfiction so probably not going to be perfect but that's the joy of writing. Feel free to leave a review and have a nice day!
