Avalon's Chosen Queen Pt. 2

"Wow... You're loud," Avalon said as Artemis gave her a glare that nearly sent shivers down both of the Primordial's backs.

"I will not marry Hercules," Artemis hissed at Chaos. "If I had to choose, I'd marry Percy instead."

"Didn't you two just get together?" Avalon asked.

"I know that he'll be a better husband than Hercules," Artemis retorted, her arms crossed.

"What would you choose?" Chaos asked. "If you go through with this, you might not be able to step foot on Olympus again."

"It's better than being married to Hercules," Artemis said looking at Chaos. "Get on with it... before I change my mind."

Chaos looked at her twin sister, and Avalon said, "By my power, I, Avalon the Goddess of Creation, hereby proclaim you, Artemis, Olympian Goddess of the Hunt and Moon, as Queen Gwynevere the Avalonian Goddess of Childbirth, Moon, Family, Fertility, and Animals."

Artemis glowed a soft silver before the light stopped and she was wearing a white dress, with light purple drapes around her arms and back and a crown on her head. Her hair, which was once auburn, was now a light brown and her silver eyes were now baby blue.

"So this is what it's like to have another Aspect..." Artemis/Gwynevere muttered to herself. "I feel so much more powerful than before..."

"Don't allow that power to go to your head, Gwynevere, lest you end up like your father," Chaos told the Avalonian Queen.

Gwynevere laughed and said, "Lady Chaos, my father is not Zeus or Jupiter. I am a being created by Lady Avalon herself, much like Artorigus, Eachtar, Morgana, and Thalia."

"Very well, Gwynevere," Chaos replied. "I just ask you to keep this a secret from Zeus. He'll do anything in his power to take you away from this enchanted land."

"Let him try," Percy said, drawing his sword. "I'll kill any who dares attack my home. I swear it on the Misty Lakes of Avalon!"

"Oh yes," Avalon said as she waved her hand and a throne appeared behind them. "There is your throne and you must have an heir within the year in case you either fade or decide to step down as King and Queen of Camelot."

Avalon winked at the King and Queen of Avalon who was now a new shade of red, before saying, "I'll be leaving now, but will return when it's time for your child's birth."

"Of course my lady," Percy replied bowing slightly. "I await your return."

Avalon then faded away and Chaos said, "I'll take care of your oath, Artemis if my sister hasn't already." Before she too, faded away.

"What are we going to do now?" Eachtar asked. "And what about the Olympians?"

"We must keep this from Zeus," Gwynevere stated, her eyes glowing like the moon's reflection on the water of a lake. "If he were to find out about this, he'd declare war on Avalon or try to take the power I was gifted with away."

"My wife is right," Artorigus replied as he placed his hand on his sheathed sword. "We keep what has happened here in our kingdom. No one outside of Avalon must know what has happened. Understood?"

"Yes my king," Eachtar replied. "I'll spread the word and the Knights and I will be on the watch in case any Demigods decide to attack."

"If they do decide to attack," Gwynevere began as the Knight looked at the Queen. "Then do give them the chance at surrendering. I don't want them to die due to Zeus's mistakes."

"As you wish my Queen," Eachtar replied before bowing and walking out of the throne room's doors.

"Everyone else, you may go and explore Avalon," Artorigus said to the joy of the Hunters and Thalia. "But before you do, breakfast is ready."

"And afterward, I can adopt you all as my children," Gwynevere said with a smile and warm, happiness-filled eyes. "That is if my husband will allow me."

"Of course," Artorigus replied with a kind smile. "You are their patron. I would allow you to adopt them. Of course, that would mean that they'd be my adopted daughters as well."

The youngest Hunter then looked up at Artorigus with wide, tear-filled eyes and asked, "Will you really be my Papa?"

"Yes young one," Artorigus replied, his blue eyes looking down at the young child's ruby red ones. "What is your name, child?"

"H-Hannah," the child replied shyly. "H-Hannah le Fey."

"I, Artorigus the King of Camelot and the God of Swordsmanship, Magic, Loyalty, and Noble Arms, hereby adopt Eri Shimura as my blood daughter," Artorigus stated as a green seal appeared around them. "May Avalon be witness to this adoption. So mote it be."

The child's ruby eyes and white hair turned crystal blue and light brown respectively and her hunter's outfit changed into a silk dress the color of the sky above them and Artorigus said, "Welcome to the family, Hannah le Fey the descendent of Morgan le Fey the original Avalonian Goddess of Magic."
