The Arrow of Artemis

The Prophecy

I laugh at Percy. He slipped on water, the water that he sprayed everywhere, and fell. He picks himself up and smiles at me. "You wanna know who you remind me of a bit?" he asks. I nod.

"Thalia Grace." I jump up. "I know Thalia! She's Artemis's best lieutenant!"  We laugh together and Annabeth walks in.

"Hey guys. You should come get some breakfast before its all gone. Oh, and Sylv, Artemis and the Huntresses are waiting outside to say goodbye to you." Sylv is my new nickname.

I grab my moon "hippie" headband and put it over my head. I pat my hair down and step outside. Artemis is still in her twelve year old form. Honestly, I think its kinda creepy having someone so old look so young and pretty. Of course, I would never say that to My Lady.

I bow in front of Artemis and place my fingers around my moon headband. Lady Artemis gave it to me. It's goodluck because she blessed it.

"Goodbye, Lady Artemis. Goodbye, Huntresses." "Be safe, Huntress Sylvia. Protect all and I bring you good luck." She nods her head to my headband, which is still in my fingers. "Thank you, My Lady." I say with a final bow.

And the Hunt was out of CHB as soon as they came. I turn around and see Jason Grace, son of Jupiter, talking to his sister, Thalia. Thalia! She was supposed to go with the Hunt!

"Thalia!" I call out. She turns and smiles at me and blows a blue streak out of her face. "Werent you supposed to go with the Hunt?" "Lady Artemis wished that I stayed back and make sure you were safe." I frown. "So My Lady doesn't trust me anymore." I walk off looking at the ground.

I run into someone. "Hey Sylv!" percy's voice rings in my ear. I don't answer him. "Sylvia, whats wrong?" "My Lady doesn't trust me anymore." I feel sudden anger within me. I snatch the moon headband from my forehead and throw it to the ground after Percy finally leaves.

I storm off and slam the door behind me in the Hades cabin.

"Sylvia?" I look up. Nico is sitting on his bunk on the other side of the cabin. "Let me guess. Either Dad or Artemis did something that pissed you off." I laugh. "Lady Artemis apparently doesn't trust me." He hops down and sits next to me on my bunk.

"I wouldn't say that, Sylv."  I look up at him and my blonde hair falls in front of my face. We laugh. Its hard to believe I'm a daughter of Hades since my hair is bright blonde.

"Your Artemis's favorite. She has only ever gave one other Huntress her blessing. That was like fifty years ago though. And now you are saying that she doesn't trust you? I don't think I can trust you to tell the truth." I nudge his shoulder and he falls off the bed. I crack up.

After I eat dinner at the mess hall with Thalia, I go to visit Rachel, the oracle. Green mist is everywhere.

"Huntress of Artemis, onto this quest, conquering things, like seeing real death. Six other halfbloods will join in, but a quest is only made for three. Fire and storms shall untie, to defend the earth, switch over sides."

"Whaaaat?" I sound like a doofus, but that prophecy didn't make sense.
