Artemis flashed to Olympus and soon entered the throne room.

Her sudden appearance shocked some of the Olympians as they saw her pissed-off face, glaring at all of them!

Everyone flinched at the Maiden Goddess's glare but soon she uttered a question...

Artemis: "Why?"

She asked confusing everyone at first...

Apollo: "Why what?"

Artemis: "Why?"

She asked again in a sterner voice with a scowl at her brother...

Apollo flinched as everyone melted under her gaze, but somebody answered her...

It was Zeus, her father...

Zeus: "Because he was too dangerous."

He said with a voice filled with certainty and confirmation.

Artemis: "Is that it? Or is it because you're afraid of somebody being stronger than you, Father...?"

She said as she spoke the last word as if it was a swear word...

Though this comment of hers stabbed her Father's Pride...

Zeus: "YOU DARE DAUGHTER?! I AM THE KING OF THE GODS! WHAT CAN THAT CLEAR-SIGHTED MORTAL DO!?"

The King of the Gods asked in a triumphant manner, but surprisingly Hephaestus was the one who would answer his father's question!

Hephaestus: "Create Swords of the highest quality, replicate weapons in a blink of an eye, create new objects out of mere imagination, then conjure a sunny world filled to the brim with swords..."

Artemis: "Not anymore, brother..."

She muttered with sadness, remembering the visions of his Reality Marble, which was currently foggy and cloudy with regrets and anger, with gears floating in the sky as the somber atmosphere made the swords that were stabbed into the ground look like graves.

When she said that, Hepheastus's eyes widened, and looked at Artemis with a sad smile, knowing that Shirou's Reality Marble had changed drastically...

Ares: "He had learned the Art of War from me..."

Hecate: "And learned Magic from me..."

Hera: "He had united the Olympian family just by being here..."

Demeter: "He was kind..."

Poseidon: "He was powerful..."

Hermes: "He formed what none of us did for millennia..."

Hades: "He formed our family"

Hestia: "He made us closer to each other..."

Dionysus: "But we took that family away from him..."

The God of Wine said as he looked to the ground along with Apollo, Athena, Hermes, and Aphrodite looked down in guilt...

Dionysus agreed because Zeus offered if he did, his sentence of being the Camp supervisor would be shorter...

Apollo agreed because he was worried for his sister and later on he let that worry turn into fear, this would contribute to his current feeling, of guilt...

Athena agreed to it out of logic and to gain her father's favor...

Hermes was reluctant but agreed because he was afraid that another Luke would happen...

Aphrodite agreed because she was jealous that Artemis had a kid that could resist her charmspeak and called her ugly in front of the council...

Poseidon, Demeter, Hades, Hestia, Ares, Hera, and Hephaestus were against the sentence.
