Child of Silver 2: The Dark Side of the Moon

Chapter One

Apollo's Palace

"I can't believe my sister actually picked HIM!" the Sun God yelled. "I thought I took care of that problem ages ago."

He grabbed his golden bow and readied his chariot. Today was not going to be a good day for Jamie O'Ryan, the reincarnation of the great hunter Orion, and son of Artemis.

"He's dead. I'm going to kill him." He grumbled angrily. "Nobody, and I mean nobody, messes with my little sister."

A flash of silver.

"Brother what do you think you are doing?" Artemis yelled.

"I'm fixing your mistake. I'm going to kill him." He flicked the reins and the horses leapt into the air.

"YOU WILL DO NO SUCH THING!" Artemis screamed, her chariot racing alongside his.

Silver arrows streaked across his head and embedded themselves into his his chariot.

"Do not interfere, lil'sister." Another silver arrow streaked between the chariots, embedding itself into his shoulder. He pulled it out and the wound healed almost immediately.

Artemis rammed her silver chariot into his golden one. The horses nipped at one another, causing specks of golden ichor to fly back and speckle their robes.

Apollo felt a firm hand grab ahold of his shoulder. It was his sister. She was standing in his chariot! Angrily, she lifted him up into the air.

"Brother, YOU WILL NOT LAY HARM MY SON. IF YOU DO SO, I SWEAR ON THE STYX THAT YOU WILL REGRET IT!"

Apollo heard the words and knew that she meant it. It would mean war, and even if he would win the battles, she would win outright in the end. If he lay a single hand on the boy she, being the goddess of childbirth, could cause any newborn demigod child of his to perish, eventually leaving his cabin abandoned for all time.

"Okay, okay. I swear on the River Styx that I will not harm your son, Jamie O'Ryan."

"GOOD." His sister lowered him to the floor of the chariot and leapt back onto hers.

Apollo watched as his sister's gleaming silver chariot sped away. "Well, there are more than one way to skin a cat." He thought.

Artemis' Camp

Thalia paced anxiously waiting for Lady Artemis to return. She had left so suddenly. Then there was the solar eclipse. Just then there was beam of moonlight and Lady Artemis was standing there fuming with anger.

"My lady, how was the meeting with Lord Apollo?" she asked, everyone knew how they never got along, but this was pure rage. Artemis normally never got angry unless it had something to do with Apollo.

"Thank you for you concern, Thalia. It was just the same thing as always with my irresponsible brother. I'll show him not to mess with me." Her voice such determination in her voice it was hard to believe that this was just a normal fight between the two. "He might try to hurt Jamie." A gasp echoed through the entire group of hunters.

"Yes it is impulsive, but Apollo is just being immature and he needs to learn how to act more appropriate. When the time is right, I'll prove this to Apollo, but until then be on guard because I'm sending all of you to Camp Half-Blood in order to guard Jamie. I need to prepare myself alone." Artemis stared at all of her hunters, a look of staring into nothingness on her face. None of her hunters said a word.

"Good, but do not talk to anyone about this, not even Jamie, and keep a watchful eye on Apollo's children in case they try to do anything." Artemis turned around and headed off to Long Island where Camp Half-Blood was.

When the Hunters arrived at camp, it was during the middle of night and they had interrupted everybody's sleep.

All the cabins were lit up, except for Cabin 8. Soon enough, Chiron realized that the Hunters had arrived. He galloped over from the Big House to where Artemis was, standing in the front of our group daring anyone to say anything in her mood.

"Ah, Lady Artemis and the Hunters. What do we owe to this surprise visit?" Chiron asked.

"I'm going on a special trip and I need to do it alone. I'm leaving my hunters here until I come back for them. I need to solve a minor issue with my brother?" Artemis hissed the end of her sentence.

"Very understood, Artemis. ." Chiron assured her.

"Good." Artemis turned to Thalia seemed to have a type of psychic agreement before she headed off towards the east.

The Hunters headed toward Cabin Eight.
